Chapter 6: Waiting Online, Urgent!

“Sigh…” Bai Muxue seemed to think of something. She crouched down beside Bai Ye and let out a long sigh.

“What’s wrong with you now?” Bai Ye asked.

“I’m worrying about something,” Bai Muxue replied.

“How do I explain this to my sister? I can’t just walk in and say, ‘Hi, congratulations, you now have a little sister. She just used to be your little brother.'”

“Actually, that could work,” Bai Ye answered with a perfectly serious face.

“You’re not joking?” Bai Muxue turned her head and looked at Bai Ye in shock.

“I’m not joking.” Bai Ye nodded. “This world already has magic, so a transformation isn’t that hard to accept, right?”

“That does seem to make sense.” Bai Muxue thought it over carefully and realized… Bai Ye made a very good point.

“By the way, I have another question,” Bai Muxue said.

“What question?”

“It’s just that… a magical girl’s appearance doesn’t change before and after transforming, so why did I only find out now that Magical Girl Jieyue and my sister Bai Yun are the same person?”

This question had been bothering Bai Muxue.

She thought Bai Ye, being a witch, might be able to answer it.

“The answer is simple,” Bai Ye replied. “Have you ever heard of a perception barrier?”

“I know a little bit.”

“Then it’s easy to explain.” Bai Ye went on. “Magical girls cast a perception barrier when they transform. Even if their appearance stays exactly the same, no one will connect their transformed self with their everyday self.”

“Of course, this perception barrier only works on ordinary people. It’s useless against witches and other magical girls.”

“Oh, I see…” Bai Muxue nodded, suddenly understanding.

“Wait, I just realized something.”

“What?” Bai Ye was puzzled.

“You’re such a shady boss, yet you haven’t been nagging me to get to work?!”

“Shady boss? Me?” Bai Ye pointed at herself.

“Yeah,” Bai Muxue nodded. “Who else?”

“What are you saying? It’s not like I’m holding a whip and forcing you to collect emotional energy. If you don’t do this, we’re both going to die.”

“Didn’t I already say that collecting magical girls’ emotional energy works better? In common saying, ‘three years without a sale, one sale feeds you for three years.'”

Bai Muxue was suddenly enlightened.

So that’s how it was!

“I’m home!” A girl with aqua-blue long hair pushed the door open. She wore a white dress that showed off her slim, well-proportioned figure.

“I had less work today, so I came back early. Did you miss me?”

No one answered.

“Is Muxue not home today?” Bai Yun was a little puzzled.

Usually, when Bai Yun came home, Bai Muxue would often be at the door to welcome her. Sometimes Bai Muxue would even hear footsteps downstairs and open the door for her ahead of time.

Bai Yun didn’t think Bai Muxue would go out on her own.

She knew what Bai Muxue was like. When she could lie down, she never sat. When she could sit, she never stood. She could even be so lazy that she stayed in bed and didn’t eat.

“Something’s wrong. This is…” Bai Yun frowned.

She sensed the presence of a witch.

Bai Yun suddenly remembered the white-haired witch who called herself the “Eternal Night Witch” and had been defeated by her and her companions.

The witch was very powerful. She was the strongest witch Bai Yun had ever faced.

If it had been one-on-one, Bai Yun definitely wouldn’t be standing here unharmed right now.

She followed the presence all the way to Bai Muxue’s room.

The remains of a phone sat on the desk in the room. Other than that, nothing seemed different.

“The witch’s presence is stronger… She stayed here for a while.”

The situation was clear now.

The Eternal Night Witch had suddenly come here and taken Bai Muxue away for some unknown reason.

Why would the Eternal Night Witch take Bai Muxue?

Bai Yun didn’t know the answer. She was curious, of course, but it was nothing compared to Bai Muxue’s safety.

Five years ago, Bai Yun had watched helplessly as her parents were killed by monsters called aberrations.

It was in that same moment that she was chosen to become a magical girl.

Even though she gained the power to defeat aberrations, she was still one step too late to save her parents.

From then on, Bai Yun and Bai Muxue had depended on each other in this world.

She absolutely would not allow anyone to hurt Bai Muxue. Bai Muxue was all she had left in this world.

“Muxue, wait for me. I will definitely come to save you…” Bai Yun murmured softly.

Bai Yun was worried about Bai Muxue’s safety.

What was Bai Muxue doing at this moment?

Bai Muxue was walking in the park, bored out of her mind. She kicked the pebbles under her feet as she strolled aimlessly.

As for why Bai Muxue was in the park instead of going home, the reason was simple.

She had forgotten her key again!

And based on her experience, her sister wasn’t home yet at this hour. Even if she went back, she’d just be squatting at the door, waiting for Bai Yun to come home and unlock it.

So she might as well wander around outside and head back when the time was about right.

“It’s all your fault! All your fault!” Bai Muxue suddenly said to Bai Ye beside her.

“Hey, what did I do to offend you this time?” Bai Ye put her hands on her hips and stared back at Bai Muxue.

“Don’t even start. If you hadn’t been rushing me so much, why would I have forgotten my key?”

“That’s on your bad memory. It’s not my fault.” Bai Ye threw the blame right back at Bai Muxue.

“Wow, you really are shameless.”

“Ehehe, I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Bai Muxue said nothing.

Because she’d realized Bai Ye was truly impenetrable. She had never met anyone thicker-skinned than Bai Ye.

“Not good!” Bai Ye suddenly shouted.

“What’s going on?”

“A strong magic source is heading this way. I need to hide. In my current state, I could easily be captured, so don’t call out to me, okay?”

“Oh, right. I’ll also help hide your magic fluctuation while I’m at it.”

With that, Bai Ye went quiet. No matter how much Bai Muxue called her, Bai Ye didn’t respond.

A strong magic source meant either a powerful magical girl or a witch.

Who could it be?

The question was answered very quickly.

Because Bai Muxue saw a girl with aqua-blue long hair suddenly appear in front of her.

It was Bai Yun.

While Bai Muxue was looking at Bai Yun, Bai Yun looked over as well.

In that instant, they locked eyes.

Bai Yun was confused.

She had clearly been chasing the Eternal Night Witch’s magic all the way here, but in the end, she found a girl.

Although the girl in front of her was at least seventy percent similar to the Eternal Night Witch, she didn’t have the slightest trace of magic on her. She couldn’t possibly be the Eternal Night Witch.

Bai Muxue, meanwhile, was utterly shocked.

‘She hadn’t even prepared an explanation for her sister, and her sister had already come charging over?!’

‘How is she supposed to explain to her sister that she’s turned into a beautiful girl?’

‘Waiting online, urgent!’
