Having arranged to work out together with An Jiu’er, Luo You put on her shoes and headed to the gym.
As expected, all eyes turned back toward her.
“Wow, do people really look that openly? They don’t even bother hiding it. And why are there so many girls among those staring at me?”
Luo You had always believed society functioned normally, with most people having typical sexual orientations.
But the way the girls passing by looked at her was anything but normal!
It wasn’t jealousy, nor the kind of gaze reserved for rare beasts.
Luo You knew that look well—it was one she had seen more than once from those magical harpies.
It was the look of someone wanting to snatch a small beaker off the supermarket shelf.
Pure, blatant desire written all over their faces.
“Ah, no way a beautiful older sister is going to jump out and drag me off to spank me, right?”
Luo You felt a bit uncertain.
These black silk stockings were just too provocative, too lethal!
Gym –
After punching in, Luo You was about to head upstairs when she noticed a muscular guy with a buzz cut sitting on a bench.
His eyes were fierce and angry like a wrathful deity.
Seeing Luo You pass by, he didn’t even have the mood to admire her thighs in stockings—he was just fuming.
“Yo, Contra, why the long face?”
Luo You couldn’t help but ask.
“Huh? You, You You? Don’t mention it. I was a minute late clocking in this morning and got docked 180 bucks. This company’s a damn heartless beast!”
Luo You glanced at her own reflection in the glass window next to her—the beautiful, adorable face staring back.
She smiled knowingly, smugly.
Hah! Pretty girls really do get preferential treatment.
Upstairs, An Jiu’er was already waiting by the stairs.
At first glance, Luo You noticed she seemed restless, unable to calm down.
“Jiu’er.”
“Coach! You’re here!”
An Jiu’er sprang up from leaning against the wall and rushed over, excitement evident in her voice.
“Great.”
That was much easier for Luo You to handle.
She casually mentioned having a daughter already, hoping to cool down An Jiu’er’s restless, wandering heart a bit.
“Funny thing, my daughter heard I spent so much just on one pair of stockings, and now she’s pestering me to get her a pair too. Ugh, what a headache,” Luo You shrugged.
She needed these stockings to seduce her sister-in-law—what was a little brat like her doing wearing something so scorching?
Especially since she was a magical girl! And a fairy-tale-style magical girl at that!
“Your daughter…”
An Jiu’er’s eyes showed a flicker of thought.
She had long heard that Elera already had a daughter, but An Jiu’er had firmly ruled out the possibility that the daughter was Elera’s biological child.
This was a conclusion drawn from the last Imperial Duel 2.0.
You could tell whether someone had children by watching Elera’s movements at the time.
Her gestures were still bold, especially the way she twisted her slender waist—seemingly even more wild than seven years ago.
There was no sign that motherhood had tamed her nature; she didn’t seem like someone who’d ever been pregnant.
Normally, people who’ve given birth become more restrained, more refined—like a wild woman wouldn’t be found clubbing while pregnant.
Nature would impose limits.
Well, this was just something An Jiu’er had picked up from online forums.
Whether it applied here was unknown.
But this rule definitely applied to Elera.
It wasn’t about whether Elera could break the norm; it was that someone like her could never settle down, have kids, or be bound by anything.
If she did, it would only be under duress.
“Are you going to bring your daughter along next time?”
An Jiu’er asked.
“Yeah, she needs to try them on before I buy. Uh, would that be inconvenient?”
“No, no, I’m actually curious what kind of person your daughter is,” An Jiu’er said sincerely.
Before, due to protocol and the overwhelming advantage, she hadn’t bothered investigating Luo You You’s family.
But if Luo You You took the initiative to show off her daughter, that would be a different matter.
After the stockings topic was settled, Luo You placed a hand on her hip and asked, “So, what are you training today?”
An Jiu’er answered instantly: “I want to learn more bed skills from you, coach!”
“No need. Trying to learn too many in a short time just means knowing a bit about everything but mastering nothing. Let’s first review what I taught you before.”
“Then today I’ll need you close by for hands-on guidance!”
“Okay, come on, show me what progress you made overnight.”
“Alright, here I go!”
Two hours later.
“Coach, I’ve got things to do, I’m heading off.”
“Mm, take care of your stuff.”
An Jiu’er said goodbye reluctantly, unsatisfied with just two hours together.
It was far too short.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t a carefree person; there were many things demanding her attention.
Amid the bustling crowd, the scenery around her shifted several times, her appearance subtly changing.
By the time she reached an open space, she had transformed back into the world’s strongest magical girl, Star Moon.
Magic Alliance Flower Sea City Branch—
Fei Yu was practicing first-rank magic in a spacious training ground.
First-rank magic was the highest tier accessible to magical girls, its structure incredibly complex, its effects profound.
Only the Ten Seats could wield it.
Mastery of first-rank magic was the primary criterion for becoming one of the Ten Seats.
Fei Yu had been a Ten Seats candidate for two years, constantly improving herself.
She had already mastered nearly ten second-rank magics—several times more than an ordinary top-tier magical girl.
Her accumulated strength was sufficient.
Once she learned first-rank magic, she would have no problem entering the Ten Seats.
Besides, the Ten Seats supposedly underwent a special transformation—a secret that elevated them far above other magical girls.
Fei Yu was very curious about it.
“Ah, failed again.”
Fei Yu frowned.
Every time she got to a critical moment, the first-rank magic’s construction collapsed.
She was sure her technique was correct.
At that moment—
The mechanical door opened.
Star Moon entered calmly.
“How’s it going?”
“Lady Star Moon.”
Fei Yu stood up.
“You’re back so soon?”
Just over two hours ago, Star Moon glanced at her phone and suddenly left halfway through.
Fei Yu hadn’t paid it much mind.
After all, as Chief Magical Girl, she bore responsibilities beyond imagination.
Every task might alter the world’s fate.
It wasn’t strange for her to come and go at any time.
Compared to that, teaching Fei Yu first-rank magic had a lower priority.
[When will I be like her? Always carrying the burden of changing the world’s destiny…]
Fei Yu couldn’t help but feel admiration.
“Where are you having trouble? Maybe I can give you some advice.”
“Here. When constructing the magic, I need to convert the mana type from B to long a. Also, the magic form must frequently switch between types 7, 9, and 12 from the fourth form. I just don’t understand this part.”
“I see. Let me demonstrate.”
With a few graceful gestures, Star Moon casually summoned the first-rank magic that so many girls struggled to master. Her mana fluctuations were smooth, with no leakage.
Her aura as the number one was like a halo around her.
“So that’s how you solve it?”
Fei Yu admired.
“Amazing.”
“Nothing special. Once you get the hang of it, it’s just like that. When I first learned first-rank magic, it took me two weeks to even reach the threshold.”
Ding dong—
Star Moon’s phone rang.
She looked at it curiously.
It was from a famous fitness vlogger, who had just posted again.
This time, the photo showed silky black stockings on smooth feet, stained with a half-melted substance that looked like ice cream.
The caption read: ‘Oops, dropped some ice cream while eating. What to do? Still have to work later~’
A slight crack appeared on Star Moon’s usually serene, refined face.
“Lady Star Moon? If it’s urgent, go ahead. Don’t worry about me,” Fei Yu said.
She thought to herself: Star Moon really is busy—just finished one matter, and another called her away. What kind of big event would have her summoned twice in one day?
Star Moon silenced her phone and slipped it into her pocket.
“No, it’s nothing important.”
Even for a rare break, disappearing twice in a row wasn’t ideal.
After all, she was still a magical girl before this.
Just then, Star Moon’s phone vibrated again, this time an incoming call.
She took it out and slowly raised an eyebrow.
This time, it was serious.
