Chapter 58

: Invincible in a Corner of Jiangdong

Jin Yu answered the phone, and was greeted with a helpless sigh.

"You still couldn't resist making a move, huh? We've already mobilized our energy to defend you, and someone would be there soon if we just waited a little longer."

"I'm sorry, but I only regret that I acted too late, and now my juniors are complaining about me."

"Which junior?"

"Miss Wu'an, but she's not a member of the General Staff Bureau."

Recalling Wu An's attitude, Jin Yu added, "I don't know if I was caught slacking off, but that kid doesn't seem to like me and even refused the invitation to go to the General Administration for training."

"It would be normal for her to refuse."

"Do you know her?"

"I guess so..." For some reason, Azure Star's tone was also a little subtle.

"With Miss Wu'an is a girl named Yin Xi. According to the younger generation, her ability is spatial, but she declined the invitation, which seems to be related to Miss Wu'an as well."

Jin Yu emerged from the pit. The sky had returned to its deep blue, cloudless, with only the bright moon visible.

As she walked toward the lake, she said, "Abilities are important, and they awakened their talents at the third tier. I feel it's worth it to take them there even if it requires some force."

"No need, they're already being trained."

"Do you know him/her, senior?"

"We've never met, but we've known each other for a long time." Actually, it's only been less than a month.

"I see. Did you call to ask me to come back?" Jin Yu asked, rubbing her fingernails.

Azure Star knew her temperament; she wouldn't make a calculated move by calling specifically for that.

"No, what I wanted to ask was... has something happy happened to you recently?"

"Something happy?"

"Yes, not long ago, this showed that the activity of your factor decreased. Although your action just now caused the factor activity to rebound, the rebound was much weaker than before."

Jin Yu easily realized what the Azure Star referred to.

Happy things... do I even consider it happy?

I think it's more about worry.

"I guess so," she replied with a subtle mix of emotions.

"Are you sure you don't need to go back? The barrier was torn apart a layer before, and that red lightning... wasn't that the Perfect Witch of the sixth seat in the council?"

If the other party notices that I am hiding in Changming City, that would be troublesome.

To avoid suspicion, many cities in Jiangdong and Jiangxi provinces have people using the name Jin Yu, and some even use puppets to disguise themselves.

"Yes, it was Xu Ting who made the move earlier, but she's the kind of person who would kick even a rock she sees on the roadside."

The attack on Changming City wasn't specifically because they discovered you.

It seems war is about to break out in Jiangxi. Based on her movements, she is heading towards the battlefield there, and she's going to bomb every city she encounters along the way.

Larger cities were bombed more heavily.

It was so appalling that one wished they could get rid of it as soon as possible.

"I see..." Jin Yu's face showed a hint of displeasure. "Can we hold Jiangxi?"

"It's hard to explain...there were a lot of them this time..."

"..." Although it was a foreseeable situation, bad news is still bad news, and being mentally prepared will not lessen the discomfort it brings.

"But there is some good news." The voice on the other end of the phone rose a little.

Jin Yu asked cooperatively, "What good news?"

"I recently received guidance from a benefactor, and I'm able to produce a few more fully bloomed flowers."

"A benefactor?" Jin Yu was also surprised. Because Man Kai had to use most of his magic power to power the city, only a few people were able to move around all year round.

The rest, like dry cell batteries, maintain a state of magical circulation almost endlessly every day to provide more magical power.

Everyone has been looking for ways to extend the event's duration until it's fully open, but all attempts have failed.

There are only two things we can do: develop basic energy technology and increase the number of high-level magical girls to alleviate the pressure.

The problem of "insufficient magic power when fully activated" has been solved, increasing the number of fully activated events.

This person is of extraordinary importance.

"That's the one who taught Wu An and Yin Xi."

"That's really impressive." Jin Yu, who had been rather unhappy, couldn't help but smile genuinely at this moment.

"So, you don't need to rush back. Just stay there and do what you like."

Jin Yu felt that it was better not to do too many of the things she "liked," but her body felt differently.

It's strange, but being with Mu Ming always made her emotionally turbulent. Sometimes she was so angry that she wanted to punch him, and other times she felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to make any demands on him.

Intense emotional fluctuations are not a good thing, but once a person is alone, they can't help but think about all sorts of things.

Even the charity work they've been doing, and their public appearances, are all done in an effort to increase the success rate of their full bloom...

Once she reaches the fifth level, there is no turning back except for the full bloom; otherwise, her fate will not be an unfortunate end in her old age or middle age, but an unfortunate end in her youth.

It's impossible not to be troubled by this.

Being with Mu Ming makes it easy for your mind to become a jumbled mess, but it also helps you focus on the task at hand.

"Hmm... I understand," Jin Yu replied, deciding to increase the number of weekly gatherings to twice a week.

Speaking of which, Mu Ming knows Li Huanhuan, who is also Yin Xi; could he possibly know Wu An's true identity?

No one knows Wu An's true identity yet.

Jin Yu had been curious about this for a while and planned to ask Mu Ming about it during their next meal.

"By the way, regarding Qishan City, are you sure you don't need any help?" Jin Yu asked her senior again to confirm.

"You don't need to worry about that... We've already dispatched two fourth-tier beings to help them deal with the calamity beasts."

Furthermore, we're not even sure if they've pinpointed your location. In any case, the situation in Qishan is extremely dangerous; it's most likely a trap. You absolutely cannot go there.

"All right..."

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Yu recited the information he had previously heard from Wu An:

"About two months ago, a magical girl named Zhu Huan came to Changming City and dealt with the Huanzi Society's stronghold together with Miss Wu An."

But according to Miss Wu'an, that Zhu Huan is only at the third rank, and she even summoned two C-rank calamity beasts. She also left Miss Wu'an an address, which is also in Qishan.

"No way..." Xiao Hei on the other end of the phone gasped.

"Third tier, summons a calamity beast, might even be the incarnation of the Second Seat... and it just so happens to be in Qishan City, could it be that we've really been exposed?"

Xiao Hei started muttering to himself, then asked, "Did you run into Zhu Huan?"

No, not at all.

"..."

Seeing Xiao Hei remain silent, Jin Yu asked again to confirm, "Are you sure you don't need to go back to Jiangbei?"

"Going back to Jiangbei now isn't a good option either... The General Administration has already started transferring personnel to Jiangxi on a large scale to prepare for the major battle."

Perhaps staying in Jiangdong isn't so bad. After all, witches can't breach cities from the outside, and your city doesn't allow anyone of the fifth rank or higher besides yourself.

In other words, as a reserve member of the Mankai Army, Jin Yu is invincible in the city. Even if she is ambushed, she will not be able to lose.

"With the battle in Jiangxi about to begin, the second seat will definitely come to command, so he probably won't have the energy to deal with Jiangdong for the time being."

"Is that so..." Jin Yu responded hesitantly. She didn't know much about the Complete Witch and wasn't sure how to make a decision.

"But don't worry too much. Once your situation stabilizes, you can try to fully unlock your potential and enter the Star Realm."

At that time, no matter what arrangements they make, as long as you fully open the trap, it will fall apart on its own.

You grew up in Changming City, which is the perfect place to take your place.

Considering your talent and abilities, in the coming days, the General Administration has decided to merge several other satellite cities in the surrounding area into Changming City, combining them into a large city in Jiangdong.

People from Qishan City will gradually be relocated, but they will be the last to go, so please don't go there.

In short, focus your energy on recuperating. Avoid getting angry, and don't use magic unless absolutely necessary, so as not to increase the activity of your energy sources.

"it is good."

After muttering a few more words, Azure Star hung up the phone, and Jin Yu walked to the clear lake.

She crouched down, her fair wrist plunging into the cool water, the bright moon illuminating the lake.

She leaned slightly out of the water, her delicate face reflected in the lake, with dark cracks along the edges of her cheeks.

"Full bloom... I wonder if I'll still have a chance to spend time with him after he's fully bloomed... I hope everything goes well..."

She touched the receding cracks with her wet hand, her mood a mix of relief and confusion.

After all, the future is something that is hard to predict.
