Chapter 139: Blossoms of Truth

“I’m not lying to you, really, I’m not…”

Yinjin nervously glanced at An Yueying beside her, afraid that saying anything more would anger her further.

In truth, even if she did nothing at all, just appearing before An Yueying was enough to make the latter suppress her fury with constant effort.

An Yueying’s hatred was not solely directed at Yinjin, but seeing her brought back memories that made her gnash her teeth.

Now, however, An Yueying had vented much of her pent-up anger, so she no longer had the desire to torment her.

“She’s not lying. Ordinary people can’t withstand purification. And when I found you, you seemed completely normal, not like someone who had just recovered from trauma.”

Ye Qing called out softly, but had nothing else to say. She simply turned her head away in silence, lost in thought.

“Don’t you want to let off some steam?”

“What’s there to vent? It’s just a hassle…”

Ye Qing said flatly, without any interest.

She had never enjoyed tormenting people, and besides, her mind was entirely on Ye Yu.

If she couldn’t find her, she would have to find a way to eliminate any threats to her.

But aside from Wang Bing, Ye Qing had no other leads. She knew nothing about the whole situation.

So for now, she could only…

“Don’t bottle everything up inside. If you need my help, just say the word.”

An Yueying understood Ye Qing’s frustration. Although she didn’t know much about Ye Yu’s situation, she could guess the trouble it posed.

Ye Qing shook her head. Since Ye Yu chose to leave, it meant she didn’t want Ye Qing to intrude into her life.

An Yueying tapped her chin, thought for a moment, then changed the subject.

“Since that’s the case, how about listening to my troubles? It’s rare for me to have a chance to complain to someone.”

She could see that Ye Qing was always reluctant to rely on her, even constantly thinking of ways to repay her, as if she couldn’t stay by her side with peace of mind otherwise.

Ha, was she afraid that if she owed too much, she’d have to give herself in return? That seemed like something this little one would think.

So An Yueying offered this chance to be a “trash can” to Ye Qing, expecting she wouldn’t refuse.

“Go ahead.”

Ye Qing agreed readily, but contrary to An Yueying’s expectations, Ye Qing saw it as a trivial matter.

Even if it were someone else, a stranger, who abruptly made such a request, she would most likely not refuse.

After all, being troubled by things felt terrible.

“Do you know why I went to all this trouble to plan this revenge?”

“If you didn’t deal with her quickly, she’d cause even more trouble.”

At Ye Qing’s cold, casual glance, Yinjin shuddered again, her legs giving way as she knelt involuntarily.

An Yueying neither agreed nor disagreed with Ye Qing’s answer, but continued.

“Actually, I more dislike Yinjin. If I were my former self, I might have made the same choice as Xiaoqing, trusting Duanmu Jin to set everything right. But things aren’t that simple.”

Hearing this, Ye Qing had a premonition that An Yueying was about to reveal some startling inside information, perhaps related to what Qin Yuxuan had concealed from her.

“Although I hate to admit it, I still haven’t completely shed my identity as a magical girl. I’m still willing to believe the lies those people told to the fool I used to be.”

This was just an insignificant complaint.

“Unfortunately, after learning the truth, everything I once believed in became a mockery. Love and bonds, justice always triumphs… That day I stormed into the Magical Girl Academy, didn’t no one stop me?”

Ye Qing was taken aback. Although she had fallen unconscious that night due to the aftereffects, she could roughly guess what happened.

Gu Xuanyu wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. She would definitely stop An Yueying…

But on this matter, she had no right to take sides. She was the sinful woman caught in the middle.

Now, I am neither a magical girl nor a witch, but a combination of both…

As the common saying goes, ordinary people are like weeds. No matter how hard they try, they can’t bloom.

Hidden among the ubiquitous weeds are extremely rare flower seeds. At the right age, they will bud, showing their extraordinary side.

There are two types of flowers: those nurtured by love and those nurtured by desire, called Love Flowers and Desire Flowers.

In my case, it’s like a Love Flower forcibly pollinated by a Desire Flower. Miraculously, it used the original Love Flower as nourishment and produced a flower of an unknown species.

I think it’s inappropriate to call it either, so I simply call it Violet — being a magical girl or a witch is not as good as being myself.”

Ye Qing listened dumbfounded, recalling Gu Xuanyu’s situation.

By that logic, Gu Xuanyu must have bloomed two Love Flowers on the same plant?

Generally, a Love Flower can only absorb love as nourishment, but the emotions magical girls produce are complex. So Yinjin’s method of strengthening magical girls was to remove the excess parts, providing as much pure love as possible.

The result was that we indeed became very strong, but no longer complete human beings.

As for what happened to me, I call it True Transformation. Now I can absorb not only love and desire but also other parts. Even now, chatting casually with you like this, I can feel myself slowly growing stronger.”

Ye Qing was somewhat surprised. Recalling how she couldn’t even fulfill a simple wish without causing a mess, she felt a bit frustrated.

Damn, why is she jealous?

But she said ordinary people are just weeds… so that means I’m not an ordinary person, right?

“By the way, I was quite surprised when you became a magical girl. I always thought you didn’t have the qualifications, so I even prepared that bottle of potion for you on purpose.”

That potion was not just precious; it was absolutely unique.

If it had been brewed conventionally, An Yueying could have mass-produced witches and led the Tea Party to its peak. But she used some special methods.

Although she spoke casually, that bottle of “Ephemeral Eternity” could turn the ordinary into the miraculous.

Even just from the flower metaphor, one could tell how difficult it was. Permanently altering a weed’s genes by pouring some fertilizer on its roots, turning it into a flower, was infinitely harder than finding another flower.

But An Yueying achieved it, relying on an ability she was unwilling to use — imposing miracles through the wishes of magical girls.
