After dinner, Bai Xiaoxiao lounged comfortably on the sofa and let out a satisfied burp. Luckily, her big brother was washing the dishes and didn’t hear. She rubbed her slightly rounded belly. His cooking was better than what you’d get from the kitchens of some restaurants.

Her big brother had made an incredibly good impression on her. He was gentle and considerate, and he could cook, too. On top of that, he was handsome and loaded. Surely at least ten people must be chasing after him—if not a hundred.

Watching him work in the kitchen, Bai Xiaoxiao felt bad and wanted to help. Li Xinghe told her to take out the trash instead, so she hurried off with an eager look and took both the kitchen trash and the first-floor trash bin outside.

By the time she came back, Li Xinghe was almost done washing the dishes.

The afternoon seemed to stretch on forever. After lunch, Li Xinghe told Bai Xiaoxiao to call him if she needed anything, then they each went back to their own rooms.

Bored and alone on the sofa, Bai Xiaoxiao stared into space and carefully went over everything that had happened that morning.

First, she’d sneaked into the house. She hadn’t expected to run straight into her big brother while he was playing a game. Good thing she’d reacted quickly, or he might really have mistaken her for a thief.

He’d bought her favorite durian cake as soon as they met, and the other two huge durians were already in the fridge. Then he’d made a lavish lunch. She usually only ate that much at the agency, yet she’d managed two bowls.

Could her good life finally be starting?

Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwu~

The buzz of her phone interrupted Bai Xiaoxiao’s daydreams. It was probably a message from the group chat.

Sure enough, when she checked her phone, she saw that Captain Qu Mengting had tagged everyone in the group. Headquarters had sent people to investigate the silver-haired, twin-tailed little girl last night. They’d just reported back that there was no one matching her in the official registry. She was described as carrying a long spear, wearing silver battle armor, and possessing at least A-Rank strength.

So far, there were only around thirty A-Rank Magical Girls across the country, and just six S-Rank ones.

Judging by her performance last night, the silver-haired girl definitely had S-Rank combat strength. But at the time, all the S-Rank Magical Girls were either stationed in the territories they were responsible for or at headquarters.

There were two at headquarters, and they’d been watching a movie together at the time, so they couldn’t have come from there to provide backup, either.

In other words, the silver-haired girl was a newly emerged Magical Girl, one who’d never been officially registered. After killing the monster last night, she’d vanished immediately. Even Bai Xiaoxiao, who’d been closest to her, hadn’t managed to speak with her. She probably didn’t want anything to do with their group.

“If anyone runs into her from now on, try to get her contact information. Headquarters is taking this new S-Rank very seriously. They’ve even given her the title ‘Silver Spear Battle Maiden.’”

It was a title given only to those who’d reached S-Rank, separate from their code names. The name ‘Silver Spear Battle Maiden’ was probably based on the weapon she used.

“Got it!”

The others all replied that they’d got it, and then the group chat fell silent again.

When she was resting at home, she usually passed the time by watching dramas or anime she liked. Every now and then, she’d go out with Lu Wanxin and Senior Cai Mengmeng, but they’d seemed busy these past few months and hadn’t had time to go shopping together.

She’d spend the afternoon catching up on her shows!

Meanwhile, Li Xinghe had been holed up in his room for more than half an hour. His new little sister’s arrival had been a pleasant surprise. She’d looked adorable at lunch, too, and seemed like a well-behaved girl—the exact type he liked.

If he still had a chance to find someone, he’d probably like a pretty, well-behaved girl like that.

He held out his right hand and looked at it. The battle yesterday had drained some of his strength. This new power didn’t drain his life force anymore, but it had more obvious side effects.

It gradually made his body more feminine.

Still, that made sense. This power was originally meant for women. Just by using some of it, his hands had already become a little smaller.

Men and women had different bone structures. Women’s bodies had a higher fat content, while men’s muscles were more developed. But the bones in his hands had clearly become smaller than before.

Luckily, he’d dealt with that monster quickly. If he’d been caught in a prolonged battle like the one eight years ago, his whole body might have gradually become more feminine.

Well, none of that really mattered. Why wear yourself out worrying about so much? There’s a saying, isn’t there? Drink today’s wine today, and just enjoy the present.

He expertly clicked the game icon on his computer. Time to enjoy some games to the fullest!

But with another person in the house, Li Xinghe still had to set an alarm first. For dinner, he’d reheat some of the dishes from lunch and cook one or two more.

If he were on his own, he wouldn’t have to do anything at all. He could just play games until late.

That said, his new little sister really was too cute...

“All right, understood. If I find out anything about her, I’ll let you know right away.”

After speaking with the person in charge at headquarters, Qu Mengting rubbed her forehead.

No one knew where this newly emerged Magical Girl had come from. Headquarters was extremely concerned about her and had ordered Qu Mengting to find her at any cost. If she couldn’t, then she was to do everything possible to recruit her into Tianhai City’s Magical Girl team.

In theory, as long as a Magical Girl appeared within Tianhai City’s barrier, Qu Mengting would sense her right away. That was how it had been with Bai Xiaoxiao, which was why she’d been able to bring her into the team so quickly.

But the ‘Silver Spear Battle Maiden’ had appeared and disappeared in barely more than ten seconds. Even Bai Xiaoxiao, who’d been closest to her, hadn’t managed to speak with her. When she left, she simply vanished into space as starlight, and Qu Mengting’s magical senses couldn’t detect her at all.

On second thought, the girl was probably so much stronger than Qu Mengting that she’d deliberately concealed herself. But that left all the pressure on Qu Mengting’s shoulders.

There were only six Magical Girls this powerful across the entire country. Every one of them was a last line of defense for a major city or headquarters, and none would act lightly unless things reached a crisis point.

Just thinking about a powerhouse like that appearing in the territory she managed made her uneasy. If she accidentally angered the girl, Tianhai City’s Magical Girl team might cease to exist.

Qu Mengting was on edge all day. She’d always slept well, but that night, for the first time in ages, she couldn’t fall asleep.
