I turned into a beautiful girl

"Bang!"

Hot air waves rushed towards him, and his skin was burned by the boiling steam. Her body was slowed down by the fatigue after the magic was removed from her body. Yu Xia took a step slowly before casting the space-isolating defensive magic.

"Huh~~"

With a soft breath, Yu Xia, who thought the battle was over, took a few steps back. The Kodachi was withdrawn to her waist, and her silver hair, which was slightly darker than usual, stuck to Yu Xia's cheek.

"The weirdo this time is really difficult... I almost wanted to call Hua Ling over to help..."

Yes... the previous monsters just found their weak point and then struck a fatal blow. Unexpectedly, this time this one actually consumed a third of my magic power.

Yu Xia's tired speech was recognized by Mo Luoke, and their fatigue made them lose the intention to celebrate.

"Wait? I left Hua Ling in the mall! I have to go back now!"

Xia Xia, how do you explain that you became a woman——

Just when Yu Xia and the others were about to get out of their fighting stance, a dangerous hurricane rolled in and burst with flames.

The simple magic circle was shattered, and the mantis monster rushed out of the flames and vented his hatred on Yu Xia.

Subconsciously, she wanted to use her wings to escape from the mantis monster's surprise attack, but when Yu Xia realized the fact that Hua Ling was not there, she had lost the best chance to escape. Pulling out the Kodachi from his waist, Yuxia reluctantly used the sword drawing technique to find a chance to escape for himself, even though the attack distance was shortened.

"Pong"

The arc drawn by hatred blocked Yu Xia's slash, and the other free hand tore Yu Xia's abdomen.

Blood flowed out from Yu Xia's abdomen, dripping onto the dark floor and forming a sad blood flower. Using a backward jump to quickly distance herself from the mantis monster, Yu Xia's emerald green eyes glowed with incredible brilliance.

Why doesn't it look hurt at all? !

Judging from the emerald green and pitch black body of the strange mantis, Yu Xia's attack could not even leave any scars on it.

Yu Xia's beautiful face was twisted in pain, and blood was dripping from her torn abdomen. Confusion amplified in her heart, and she focused on the strange mantis, trying to find the answer she wanted from it.

Xia Xia, look at the other side of the tunnel. The ceiling has been penetrated by it.

"ah?"

Looking at where Moloko was pointing in surprise, he saw that the ceiling of the tunnel had been penetrated. It seemed that the mantis monster was using this to return to the ground to avoid Yu Xia's attack.

Sensitively catching Yu Xia's distraction, the mantis monster's body flashed past, and sharp cuts came immediately. Both feet kicked the ground, and at the same time as Yu Xia jumped up, the sharp kunai attached to the flames rushed towards the mantis monster.

"Pong" "Pong" "Pong"

Waving her hands like sharp sickles, Yu Xia's attacks were all chopped off. She didn't expect her attack to have much effect. Yu Xia just used it to interfere with the mantis monster in order to escape.

"This weirdo is completely different from what we usually encounter...could it be something created by Noah Company or Bai Wenfeng?"

The appearance of the strange man in front of him reminded me of the mantis monster Yu Xia saw in Noah's company. Although they both had a mantis-like appearance, their appearance was completely different.

Based on the red-haired man who appeared next to her recently, Yu Xia made her own inference.

I don’t know either... I think it would be better to ask Sister Yuqiu about these things.

"Ah, well. Let's knock it down now."

Turning into a super fast wind, Yu Xia waved the small sword in his hand and swept towards the mantis monster. The bright silver light struck the mantis monster from bottom to top, and the mantis monster was prepared and waved his sharp blade-like hand.

One hand suppressed Yu Xia's attack, and the other hand stabbed at Yu Xia who was unprepared for the opening.

"laugh."

The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and the mantis monster's attack was just as Yu Xia expected. She intercepted her left hand in the path of the mantis monster's attack. As the earthy yellow magic circle burst out with dazzling light, thick rocks emerged from her little hand.

The left hand attached to the rock was like the claws of a giant dragon. It easily blocked the slashing attack of the mantis monster.

He grabbed the mantis monster's sharp blade-like hand and turned it into a pair of pliers to tightly control the mantis monster's movements. The slender legs were lifted up, bursting out with strong force, Yu Xia's kick bit deeply into the Mantis Monster's abdomen.

"Bang"

Like a kite with a broken string, the mantis monster was blown away by Yu Xia.

She had no intention of letting it go, and ran away as fast as an arrow. Yu Xia struck a blow that tore apart the space.

The trace of silver light, the dark yellow shadow.

It turned into violent raindrops and fell on the body of the strange mantis.

Scars appeared multiple times on the mantis monster's body. Facing Yu Xia's violent attack, it could only passively defend.

"ha!"

The atmosphere screamed in pain, and Yu Xia, who was venting his fighting spirit, punched the strange mantis in the chest with a fierce punch.

"Bang!"

The rock attached to Yu Xia's hand exploded, driven by Yu Xia's fist, and pierced the body of the mantis monster.

"Hoo~~ho~~"

The attack slowed down, and the mantis monster that was knocked to the ground reluctantly stood up again. The gray murderous intention invaded Yu Xia unabashedly, but facing this level of intimidation was not enough to make Yu Xia feel scared.

"Uh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The beast will roar to intimidate its opponents, dominate them with fear, and manipulate them into its palms.

The roaring mantis monster rushed towards Yu Xia, and his dancing hands blew up the infiltrating wind and waves.

Tear her to pieces!

Dominated by this thought, the mantis monster rushed towards Yu Xia desperately.

He looked wordlessly at the mantis monster rushing towards him, his emerald green eyes occupied by indifference. Yu Xia slowly raised her left hand, and her cherry-colored lips touched the ring on her hand.

"Ping"

At the same time as the sound of metal falling to the ground was heard, multiple earth-yellow magic arrays emerged between Yu Xia and the mantis monster.

Lift.

Cut off.

Lift.

Cut off.

He tore the magic circle that Yu Xia had sacrificed into pieces, and his anger dispersed the only wisdom in the mantis monster's head.

"Killing Rider punch!"

Waving her thin and delicate fist, Yu Xia punched with all her strength towards the center of the earth-yellow magic circle.

There was a sound like breaking glass, and at the same time that the earth-yellow magic circle was shattered, the mantis monster also rushed in front of Yu Xia.

The thick rock turned into armor and covered Yu Xia's entire right hand. She swung an overwhelming punch towards the mantis monster's chest.

The fist penetrated the mantis monster's chest, and the smelly blood followed Yu Xia's fingertips. Its sharp hands stayed in front of Yu Xia's throat, and it could cut off Yu Xia's life with just one more step forward. Unfortunately, it had already been defeated by Yu Xia before that.

The rock in her hand turned into starlight and disappeared. Yu Xia withdrew her right hand that penetrated the mantis monster's chest. She looked at the mantis monster who fell to the ground in silence.

It is not much different from ordinary people who become monsters due to rampant magic. The appearance of the monster disappears from the body like a phantom, and the injuries suffered during the battle no longer exist on the body.

Xia Xia, let’s go! It's been so long, and those people from DDT have arrived.

"Ah, um. I understand."

"Feather."

"Eh? Hua Ling?"

Hua Ling's calling made Yu Xia stop her escape and look at Hua Ling in surprise. For a moment, Yu Xia still couldn't understand the reason why Hua Ling appeared here.

"Yu Yu, why didn't you ask me to come over when a weirdo appeared?"

Speak up.

Speak out what is bothering you.

Her red eyes flashed with uneasiness, and Hua Ling's little hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes. Her breathing stopped, as if she was afraid that the sound of exhalation would hinder the delivery of Yu Xia's words.

"that--"

An unpleasant feeling rippled in his heart, and the poor vocabulary in his mind was unable to give Yu Xia a timely explanation.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from a distance, which also gave Yu Xia time to find a reason.

"Let's not talk about this now. DDT is coming. Let's run away first."

"Um……"

Staring into Yu Xia's pupils suspiciously, Hua Ling didn't say anything, but just nodded silently as a response to Yu Xia.

…★…

"Tell me, can you explain why you didn't take me as a concubine?"

Facing Yu Xia, Mo Luoke and Ziya, Hua Ling raised the issues she cared about.

"Ah, that..."

"Actually, there is a reason..."

Dodging Hua Ling's gaze, Yu Xia and Mo Luo Ke were moving restlessly. The two men, with their heads lowered, were trying their best to find excuses to avoid the minefield.

"Well, that...since it's none of my business, I'll go back first..."

Picking up two bags of birthday gifts bought for Hua Ling, Ziya wisely chose to leave with two gifts that might be a waste.

His eyes moved from Yu Xia's body to Ziya's leaving back, and then locked on Yu Xia again. Hua Ling faced the two of them silently, a compelling aura emanating from her body.

"Actually, I didn't have time to call Hua Ling to come over... Didn't I say to go to the toilet at that time? Halfway through, Luo Ke suddenly said that a weirdo had appeared and wanted to call me over. In my hurry, I forgot to call You're here."

"Yes! That's right! Because a strange person suddenly appeared, I couldn't cope with it by myself, so I immediately called Xia Xia over. Then I got into a hard fight with the strange person, but for a moment I forgot to call you Xiaoling. Call over."

Echoing Yu Xia's speech, both Moloko and Yu Xia had stiff smiles on their faces. Hoping to convince Hua Ling of her words, they tried their best to appear sincere.

"Ugh."

Her heart felt like it had been hit hard, and Hua Ling let out a low cry from the severe pain. The tacit understanding between Yu Xia and Mo Luoke made Hua Ling become irritable for no reason.

The uneasiness turned into anger bit by bit, and the uneasiness turned into flames, burning vigorously.

"Do you think I am a fool?! Do you think I will believe this reason?!"

Fear, anxiety and jealousy turned into violent poisons that filled Hua Ling's delicate body. She lost control of her emotional processing, and in desperate need of venting, she turned her feelings into a roar.

Her slender little hands suddenly slapped on the coffee shop table. Under Hua Ling's tapping, the wooden table made a "bang" sound.

All the attention of the customers and waiters in the cafe were focused on Yu Xia and the others, which made the two of them even more uncomfortable.

"Do you think I'm not as good as her? That's why you didn't ask me to come over? Is that right?!"

Pointing her finger at Mo Luoke, Hua Ling would never make such a rude move no matter how coquettish she usually was. However, under the impact of emotions, Hua Ling lost her careful thinking.

Not caring about the looks from around her, Hua Ling forced Yu Xia to give a reasonable explanation.

"No! How could you think so?!"

He answered quickly, and this was the only thing Yu Xia could give Hua Ling a reply without thinking.

"What is that?! What have you been hiding from me these past few days?!"

"..."

Silent, Yu Xia chose to remain silent under Hua Ling's questioning.

Having already anticipated Yu Xia's reaction, Hua Ling turned her attention to Mo Luoke.

"Goo!"

A wavering sound came from Moloko's little mouth. Unable to look at the current Hua Ling, Moloko turned to look at the street outside the window.

"She knows too, right?! Then why didn't you tell me?! Does it mean you don't trust me? Or do you really think I'm not as good as Moloko?!"

Pouring hot oil on the blazing flame, Hua Ling roared again to demand the answer she wanted.

"No, that's not the case! Hua Ling, please listen to my explanation. Luo Ke and I have nothing to hide from you!"

An embarrassed expression appeared on her beautiful face, and Yu Xia raised her hands to make a calming gesture.

"Hua Ling, Hua Ling, Hua Ling. You always call me by your full name! But you always call her by her first name! Whether it's Zhuang Xueying or Chen Zishi!"

When the flame touches other items, it will cling to it without hesitation and use its own heat to melt it away.

Hua Ling's shout made Yu Xia open her mouth in a daze, trying to extinguish her burning anger, but Yu Xia could not find a suitable water source.

"I know! Since you don't want me to know about your matter, I won't ask anymore."

Yu Xia announced her decision in a cold tone, but Yu Xia did not let go of her heart because of Hua Ling's words of no longer interfering.

"Just let me die in your own heart. Goodbye!"

As hot tears fell from her eyes, Hua Ling turned around and ran out of the cafe.

"Hey, hey! Hua Ling! Wait, wait! Luo, Luo Ke, please pay the bill."

"Ah, oh. I know."

A few minutes after Hua Ling and Yu Xia ran out of the cafe, Mo Luoke, who was sitting blankly on the chair, slowly came to his senses. She paid the bill and walked out of the cafe slowly.

The aching heart seemed to sense the reason for Hua Ling's anger. Mo Luoke, who didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, dialed Yu Qiu's mobile phone number.

………

…

…

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hua Ling is such an idiot! What are you saying to yourself? ! I told you I would tell you when I got home, but now I ran away alone!

Wanting to catch up with Hua Ling's escape, Yu Xia finally lost track of Hua Ling due to the obstruction of the red light and the crowd.

The uneasiness in her heart made Yu Xia frown. Confused and at a loss, she walked in this slightly unfamiliar street.

Eh? ! Is it there? !

The female figure with red hair flashed in front of Yu Xia, and she instinctively reacted to follow. Yu Xia pushed aside the crowd blocking her and followed quickly.

"Ah... I recognized the wrong person..."

She followed him, but after Yu Xia saw the man's back clearly, she concluded that this man was not Hua Ling. Yu Xia drooped her shoulders in despair, and the guilt stirring in her heart continued to torture Yu Xia.

Hua Ling, did she just say goodbye?

Will she just walk away?

"What should I do……"

Yu Xia's thoughts made her fall into a panic whirlpool. When she thought that Hua Ling's lovely smile would leave her, a gloomy feeling of silence enveloped Yu Xia.

correct! You can just call Hua Ling! Just explain it to her here!

Thinking of being able to directly contact Hua Ling in her brain, Yu Xia's disappointed expression changed. Ignoring the abruptness of talking to herself in the eyes of others, Yu Xia immediately called out to Hua Ling.

"Hua, Hua Ling! Can you hear me?! We have nothing to hide from you! We just knew it was your birthday today and wanted to give you a surprise, so we secretly held a birthday party for you!"

She said what she had never wanted Hua Ling to know, and stood there blankly, Yu Xia waited for Hua Ling's response.

"..."

There was no sound, which gave Yu Xia a premonition that Hua Ling didn't hear.

The anxiety that had been suppressed for a while surged up again, and the white little hands clenched into fists. Yu Xia felt as if her heart was blocked by something, which made her unbearable.

"Hua Ling... can you hear me? If you can, just answer me..."

After confirming the current situation, Yu Xia's voice sounded like a plea.

"..."

But Yu Xia's response was still disturbingly silent.

The uneasiness began to amplify, and the body seemed to be suspended in a suspended state, and then was severely thrown down. Yu Xia's legs lost their support, and she fell to the ground in an instant.

"Yeah, right... try calling Hua Ling's cell phone. Maybe it's because she didn't hear me calling her..."

Looking for something useful that could change the current situation, Yu Xia seemed to comfort her uneasy heart. She took out the mobile phone in her pocket and dialed Hua Ling's mobile number.

"Toot, toot, toot."

After the irritating music, Yu Xia's cell phone rang with a gray busy tone.

"Huh~huh~~ What should I do...I'm such an idiot..."

The oxygen brought by the deep breath activated his brain. Yu Xia, who was already at a loss what to do, buried her face in her knees.

With her arms folded around her legs, Yu Xia sat in a corner of the alley. She held her cell phone in order to answer Hua Ling's call as soon as possible.

Xia Xia? Xia Xia, where are you now?

"Ah? I don't know either... I ran out after him and lost him. Now I'm in an alley."

Moloko's voice rang in Yu Xia's head, which woke up Yu Xia who was about to fall asleep on the street. Yu Xia shook her head and fiddled with her hair.

Eh? Xia Xia, do you know the way? I just called Sister Yuqiu and she told us to go home and talk.

"You know the way. Where are you now, Luo Ke? Should I come to you, or should you come to me?"

I'm in the coffee shop just now. Why don't you come over and find me, Xia Xia...

"Ah, um. I understand. Luo Ke, just wait for me there."

Knowing that sitting down here was not an option, Yu Xia stood up and patted her clothes and pants before returning to the place where she had just argued with Hua Ling.

…★…

I had a quarrel with Yuyu...

What should we do next?

Sitting on a bench next to the pool in the square, Hua Ling looked particularly lonely compared to the couples around her.

The sky slowly darkened, and several hours had passed since Hua Ling questioned Yu Xia and escaped. As Hua Ling gradually calmed down, she began to regret the behavior she had just committed.

Yu Yu already said that he would tell me when he gets home today...it must be something that is difficult to talk about outside...

I'm such an idiot...

Hua Ling even started to defend Yu Xia, trying to ease the pain in her heart in this way.

But what on earth is there that cannot be said to me... something that even Moloko knows, but doesn't tell me...

The sun completely disappeared into the darkness, replaced by a bright moon. The lights prepared for Valentine's Day lit up like a hundred flowers blooming, and the pool behind Hualing also erupted into a fountain at this time.

White mist spit out from Hua Ling's little mouth, and her cold hands rubbed against each other to achieve the warming effect. The magic power is completely asleep in the body, and Hua Ling, who doesn't want to waste her energy to drive the magic power, is no different from ordinary people.

Today seems to be some kind of human festival... It's also my birthday...

I obviously want Yu Yu to buy a cake and spend it with me tonight...

He unconsciously pulled down his furry hat to shield himself from spying on the lovers on the street. Envy grew in Hua Ling's heart, and she had the idea of ​​"just go back like this".

But would it be too... if we just go back like this?

A child had a dispute with his parents. Stimulated by anger, the child locked his door with a bang. But after calming down, I wanted to leave the room and reconcile with my parents, but I put it aside because I couldn't save face.

Hua Ling couldn't think about what kind of expression or words she would use to face Yu Xia when she returned home, which made Hua Ling give up the idea for the time being.

"Ah... I'm hungry..."

Her flat belly sent out a signal of hunger, and Hua Ling, with her head hanging down, put her hand on her empty belly. She murmured feebly that she had no intention of eating.

There are more and more people...

The number of people gathering in the square began to increase. It seemed that it was due to the fall of night. Many couples who had met to go out for dinner were waiting for their significant other here.

Watching the smiling lovers in silence, Hua Ling clenched her fists involuntarily.

ah! correct!

Turn on the phone, take back the magic power that cut off the conversation with Yu Yu, and contact Yu Yu, who will definitely beg me to go back!

When the time comes, just pretend to be helpless and forgive Yuyu.

Seeking the steps to get off the stage, the child, who had locked himself in the room, turned the door lock open.

Just when Hua Ling was about to do this, a sudden situation interrupted her. A man with thick muscles and an aura as steady as a mountain stood in front of Hua Ling.

The bright moonlight that originally shone on Hua Ling's face was blocked. Hua Ling raised her head and stared blankly at the man standing in front of her. She held the phone but forgot to press the power button.

…★…

"What's wrong, Xiaoxia? You act like the sky is falling."

After opening the door of Yu Xia's room, Yu Qiu sat on Yu Xia's bed. She stretched out her hand and rubbed Yu Xia's head.

"It's nothing... I'm just a little worried about Hua Ling."

"There's nothing to worry about, right? Even though Hua Ling is so small, she is still a demon after all. Ordinary people usually can't do anything to her~~"

"Ah, um... that's right... I don't have to worry about her so much."

As if to convince herself, Yu Xia repeated softly.

"Xiao Xia, don't worry, Hua Ling will definitely come back tonight. Those words just now were just said out of anger and without thinking clearly. The most important thing now is to decorate the party well, and then Give Hua Ling a surprise when she comes back.”

"Yeah, that's right. Decorate your home first, and then wait for Hua Ling to come home."

The dull face glowed with light, and Yu Xia's frustrated voice became energetic. With Yu Qiu's comfort, he felt relieved a little.

"This is so decent~ If you look like the sky is falling, Hua Ling won't feel good when she gets home."

"Yeah, I understand... Then let me go out and help Chengzi and the others first."

"Go, go. I'll come over and help later."

Facing Yu Xia with a gentle smile, Yu Qiu didn't take it back until the door closed. He took his cell phone out of his pocket, sent a simple message, and then walked out of Yu Xia's room.
