Luoyou returned to the hospital. Just as she came out of the restroom, she saw someone rushing in at the hospital entrance.
Seeing this, Luoyou quickly lowered her head and pretended not to recognize them, hoping to slip away unnoticed.
“Ah! Found you!”
“Tch!”
Amidst the crowd, Luozining immediately spotted her and sprinted over, grabbing her hand excitedly.
“I heard Dad, you’re going to be hospitalized? Can’t take care of yourself anymore?”
Luoyou glared and retorted, “Do I look like someone who can’t take care of herself?”
“Eh… so no hospitalization? You can manage by yourself?”
“Why do you look so disappointed?”
“D-Do I?” Luozining quickly composed her expression.
She had been a little overwhelmed thinking that she might have to help Luoyou bathe and change clothes in the coming days.
“Alright, alright, I’m heading back. I’m going to soak in the hot springs again. What kind of business is this?”
“Don’t need to see a doctor?”
“No need. I wasn’t sick to begin with; that Magic Girl just dragged me here without asking.”
Her attitude irritated Luozining.
It was Master Xing Yue who brought you here! You should be grateful!
However, Luoyou had no energy to care about these things now. Her mind was filled with only one thought—
How to take down Xingyue and give her a serious lesson!
But this was a long-term plan.
The overwhelming magical power Xingyue displayed when subduing four kidnappers made Luoyou realize she wasn’t like other Magic Girls who were easy to deal with.
That unique aura once reminded Luoyou of someone from the past who was not celebrated by the world.
“Zining, have you ever heard of a Magic Girl named Chi Yu?”
“Eh? No…”
“What about Blood Rose? That’s her other name.”
“No, is she a famous Magic Girl? Where does she do her idol activities?”
A faint disdain rose in Luoyou’s tone. “See? You ordinary people…”
“What? Then tell me who she is.”
Luozining raised her eyebrows.
“Nothing much. Even if I say, it won’t help.”
Luoyou shook her head.
Her own daughter didn’t even know the significance behind the name Chi Yu, meaning the Magic Alliance had long sealed off all information.
“Ouch.”
Luoyou turned back. Her daughter was glaring angrily, her hand pinching Luoyou’s waist.
“…Sigh, she’s already dead. That enough?”
“You just said that little? If anyone saw this, they’d think I was clueless. Say more!”
“If you really want to know, you shouldn’t be asking me. Use your own skills to investigate. Someone like her should never be forgotten.”
—Especially as a Magic Girl yourself, you must never forget the person who brought hope to all Magic Girls.
Luoyou thought silently.
“Hmph! Old Luoyou, if I find out you’re fooling me, I’ll make you regret it!”
Luozining decided to keep this in mind and investigate when she had the chance.
More pressing was the Level 3 dimensional beast invasion alert still ringing out.
Should she go help on site?
But with Master Xing Yue there, going would be pointless and might just hold things back.
Still, she really wanted to observe how the strongest Magic Girl fought.
“Damn! I gave up that chance to take care of Old Luoyou at the hospital, and this trip was for nothing!”
Luozining gritted her teeth in frustration.
She hoped her aunt could record some footage of Master Xing Yue’s heroic figure!
Time passed quickly.
On the third day, news of the Wang-level dimensional beast’s defeat near the Jiulong Sea quickly spread and made the headlines.
Most details were trivial, with only two key points: the disaster was minimal, and no Magic Girls were injured or killed.
In the past, Magic Girls often suffered casualties when facing Wang-level dimensional beasts, and the damage was severe. But this time, it was completely different—
The Wang-level beast was annihilated without resistance.
This extraordinary achievement was all thanks to Master Xing Yue.
Someone had recorded it on their phone.
Xingyue’s performance on site was terrifying—not because her magical attacks were particularly fierce, but because of her coordination with teammates.
The Wang-level dimensional beast never had a chance to retaliate; it was controlled and killed without launching a single effective counterattack.
It was pitiful.
Viewers couldn’t help but empathize with the trapped beast’s frustration.
And this was just Xingyue’s way of training her teammates, deliberately holding back.
After all, she was someone who could single-handedly take on even Dragon-level dimensional beasts!
Never acting on impulse, holding back her sharpness, accumulating strength for emergencies.
With teammates, she relied on teamwork to win; alone, she would personally turn the tide.
Her style was the very definition of the Wangdao.
Once again, Xingyue was thrust into the world’s spotlight.
“Today’s trending searches are all about Master Xing Yue… She really is amazing.”
Luozining looked at her phone in admiration.
“Stop staring at your phone and help me carry the suitcase!”
“Oh.”
Today was the day Luoyou’s family was returning home.
Before getting in the car, Luoyou waited for a long time but Zhou Xi didn’t show up, so she asked, “Where’s Zhou Xi? Not coming back with us?”
“Zhou Xi’s busy with something. She told us to head back first.”
Luozining loaded the luggage into the trunk, slammed it shut, then sat in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt.
“Zining, once we get home, you need to focus and study properly, okay?”
“Got it, got it. Since when did you become my mom? I’m always in the top twenty in my grade.”
“Eh? Your grades are that good?!”
Luoyou was stunned.
She had never paid attention to her daughter’s studies and figured someone like her wouldn’t mind going to some mediocre university.
Yet her daughter actually—actually—
Incidentally, Luoyou only graduated from middle school.
“Well… at home, do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me.”
A twinge of doubt crept into her heart, a faint sense of inferiority.
What’s the use of studying well?
All that language, math, physics, chemistry… hardly useful in real life!
It’d be better to accumulate social experience now to live better in the future!
[Like me, I only graduated middle school, but I’ve already cut down a hundred Magic Girls! You, a bookworm, can you ever achieve that?]
Luoyou comforted herself silently, and her mood gradually improved.
By the way, Xue was hidden in the suitcase in the trunk.
If she got caught at security, Luoyou would definitely be arrested and locked up for human trafficking.
After a morning of driving, Luoyou dropped Luozining off at her home building’s entrance.
“You go back first. Leave the luggage in the car. I have to go out for a bit.”
“Eh? Dad, where are you going?”
Luozining suddenly became alert.
Was Old Luoyou going to meet some shady guy again…?
“An interview! At that gym from before. I used my old identity to get an interview opportunity, and it’s today.”
Seeing her finally ease up, Luoyou closed the car door and prepared to drive off, only for Luozining to suddenly call out—
“Won’t there be casting couch stuff at the interview?”
“Of course not! Go back!”
“Dad, I’m just saying, if there is, you have to refuse! Better not to do it than to compromise!”
Luoyou grew impatient. “Got it, got it. Besides, if I don’t work, are you going to support me?”
Sure! I’ll support you! So all you need to do is laze around at home like a useless person.
Luozining wanted to say this but held it back.
But she wasn’t just imagining things.
After all, being a Magic Girl wasn’t unpaid work.
Facing life-and-death battles meant the pay couldn’t be low.
It might not make you rich, but it was easy to support the family.
“Let’s go!”
Luoyou drove off, hitting forty miles per hour right away, to avoid Luozining catching up and nagging.
“Xue, come out.”
A small hand stretched out from the slight opening of the suitcase, and Xue jumped out.
“Yo, where are we going?”
“First, to find a place for you to settle down.”
“So this is what they call the other woman?”
“Other woman, my foot. If anything, I’m the illegitimate daughter! But you’re not even that!”
If Luoyou wasn’t driving, she’d definitely have turned back and shoved a foot in Xue’s mouth.
Even faced with Xue’s childlike appearance, Luoyou wouldn’t go easy—that was the evil villain’s creed of ‘equality for all, young and old, male and female.’
Coincidentally, during her time with the organization, Luoyou had used her position to gain some benefits.
She owned properties all over the country—some big, some small.
In Huahai City, she had a medium-sized apartment, about a hundred square meters.
It had all the furniture, so she could just dump Xue inside to live comfortably and conveniently.
“Here it is.”
Luoyou took her to the elevator, pulled out the key, and tried to open the door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened on its own when the key was inserted.
“Hm?”
Behind the door stood a woman around fifty years old.
“Who are you? Why are you trying to use the key at my door?”
Luoyou stepped back two paces and glanced at the house number—no mistake.
“This is your home?”
“Of course! If it’s not mine, whose is it?”
“No, who are you? Living in my house?”
“?!”
Upon hearing this, the woman’s face changed drastically.
She slammed the door shut and shouted from behind it:
“Honey! Call our son back! Someone’s trying to snatch our house! Oh my goodness, what a curse! My house!”
“Pfft~~”
Xue couldn’t help but laugh.
Luoyou felt humiliated.
With her temper, was she facing a bunch of freeloaders?
She had heard of this kind of pigeon-nesting-on-the-magpie’s-nest case before but never thought it would happen to her.
This situation was a huge headache.
Even with property deeds, they were useless here.
The worst was if this escalated, everyone on Earth would know she had an illegitimate daughter…
Ah, never mind!
This was bad!
“What will you do about this?”
Xue was eager, ready to make mincemeat out of this family…
Luoyou snorted coldly.
“Hmph, I have plenty of methods!”
The most direct was to hypnotize them, then make them commit suicide.
Once their son arrived, that would be the plan.
Half an hour later, Luoyou stood frozen in place, facing a crowd of relatives and friends yelling insults and accusations at the woman’s home.
Damn, so many people!
There’s no way I can have them all commit suicide, right?!
If two or three died, it could pass as accidental deaths, but if more than ten committed suicide, it’d become a criminal case!
