: If Fate Brings Us Together, We Will Meet Again

Snapped.

Wu An slapped Yin Xi's hand away. She had been touching his shoulder repeatedly, and he didn't know what she was trying to do.

"That's all for tonight, I'm heading back now."

"Hey? Wait a minute, aren't you going to leave that girl alone?"

Just as she was about to turn and fly away, Yinxi quickly called out to her.

"Why not just call an ambulance?"

"Oh dear... what if that girl gets hurt by the corrupted magic? Besides, leaving her like this is so un-magical girl-like."

Wu An wanted to refuse, but the girl had only been hit by pebbles and had not been infected by the filthy magic.

But Yinxi's next words reminded Wu'an.

As mentioned in the section on "Behavioral Planning," the more her actions align with the public's perception of a magical girl, the more effective it will be in enhancing her power.

For example, helping elderly ladies cross the street, riding rice noodles across the street, or removing chewing gum from the street...

However, the wording in the "Code of Conduct" is actually quite vague, unlike the other three, which all have specific methods to achieve it.

However, in order to establish her image as a magical girl, she should go and take a look.

After Yinxi helped call for an ambulance, the two went to the tree where the girl was hiding.

The girl leaned against a big tree, trying to keep her injured right calf flat, but it still turned black and swollen, and she groaned in pain.

Upon seeing the magical girl approach, her face lit up with joy and gratitude.

Her gaze was fixed on Wu An, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

Yin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, but said nothing.

"Um, my name is... my name is Nan Shiyu. Could you please tell me the names of your two benefactors?"

"I am Wu An, and she is Yin Xi."

"Oh...oh, I'll remember." Nan Shiyu was slightly disappointed. She wanted to know his real name, but having a code name was good enough.

"Your calf is injured, and it's not good for the blood to pool. Let me help you get it out."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Wu An's hand touched the girl's calf, and she suddenly trembled slightly, letting out a hiss.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

"It's...it's alright."

It was clearly not just okay. Black magic gathered at Mu Ming's fingertips, found the right spot, and gently stabbed, allowing the stagnant blood to release its flow.

The swelling in her legs subsided slightly. Around that time, black magic surged up Nan Shiyu's entire calf. It wasn't warm, but cool and comfortable, and the bleeding stopped.

The wounds weren't just on my legs, but also on my face. However, they weren't inflicted by the monsters; they were caused by humans. I guess I was bullied.

However, Wu An was too lazy to care about these things.

"The ambulance should be almost outside the park. Let me carry you out."

"Thank you... for your help." Nan Shiyu looked a little shy, but she had already straightened up and was about to be carried on someone's back.

The girl was slender, with thin thighs that could be easily encircled by one hand. Carrying her on her back felt like carrying a sack of rice, with a soft texture mixed with slight angularity.

For some reason, Wu An stopped in his tracks after reciting the poem by Nan Yu and didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Yinxi asked, turning around.

Wu An shook his head and quickly followed.

The car arrived quickly. Wu An placed Nan Shiyu on the stretcher, sat up, and asked while tucking her fingers together:

Will we ever see each other again?

Wu An was just about to go up and say a few nice words when Yin Xi preemptively answered:

"We'll meet again someday. We're off now, take good care of yourself and get well soon~"

Nan Shiyu wanted to say a few more words, but Wu An was dragged away by Yin Xi.

She stared intently at their retreating figures until they were completely swallowed by darkness before closing her eyes.

"I want to see you again..."

......

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Wu An asked.

"That's enough. Are you really planning to spend time with that girl afterwards?"

Yin Xi felt her heart skip a beat when she recalled the look in Nan Shiyu's eyes when she looked at Wu An.

Fortunately, the other person was just an ordinary girl; otherwise, it would have been very dangerous.

"That girl has a crush on him; maybe we can win her over."

"Huh?" Yinxi thought she had misheard.

"When I was carrying her on my back just now, I sensed it. Although it was very subtle, she definitely has the seed of the heart. It's only a matter of time before she transforms."

Recalling the sensation on his back at that time, Wu'an felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

The Seed of the Heart is definitely sexist!

He had walked back and forth in front of the calamity beast countless times, yet he couldn't bear to give himself a single Heart Seed.

As a result, after she transformed, she encountered two monsters and two girls, both of whom showed the potential to become magical girls.

If it weren't for the system's divine power, Wu'an would probably still be suffering from the inability to transform.

Even so, the frustration caused by that unfairness was still very deep.

"Should we go back and chase after her? I've noted down the license plate number of that ambulance; we should be able to find out—"

"No need!" Yin Xi's voice suddenly rose a notch, and she forced a big smile. "We'll meet again if fate allows, and besides, I need to rest and get treatment right now."

Wu An didn't refute verbally, but she disagreed in her heart. If fate were truly useful, why would she have gone to such lengths to pursue the Seed of the Heart?

"Let's leave it at that for tonight. I'll take you home from here," Yinxi suggested again.

"No need, and you can't fly either, I can get back faster by myself." Wu An shook his head.

"Who says I can't? I might even fly faster than you."

"?"

Wu An remembered that first-tier magical girls were not good at flying, or even able to fly at all.

She looked at Yin Xi's chest. Her dress was silver-blue overall, and the petals on her chest only had a faint blue tip. The light was dim nearby, and Yin Xi exuded a faint silver magic, making it difficult to see clearly.

Wu An leaned closer, about to take a closer look, when someone lightly patted his head.

"What are you doing... Even if you've become a girl, you can't do this..." Yinxi took a step back and scolded.

"You've reached the second tier..." For some reason, Wu An's voice sounded somewhat melancholy.

"Um."

"Didn't you just transform yesterday? How come you're already at level two today?"

"Hmph, the first stage is just a transitional phase. Even if you're slow, you can probably advance to the second stage in about half a month. I had some unpleasant things happen at noon today, and then something happy happened in the afternoon, and that's how it ended up."

Yin Xi said with no small amount of pride that although Wu An looked a bit dejected, it wouldn't be bad if he could put on a timid expression.

Ultimately, this is also Wu An's problem; I sent her a message at noon, but she ignored me for a long time.

I thought I wouldn't have a chance to contact her again, but then I suddenly got a message in the afternoon, and in the evening I even spent the time I had imagined.

When it transformed again, it was already at the second stage.

"I see." Wu An clenched his fists as he recalled how he had cultivated at home during the day.

Magical girls do indeed become stronger due to intense emotional fluctuations, and she is undoubtedly jealous right now.

A panel pops up:

[Magic value: 95]

Suddenly, I had the urge to smash the table, then I looked at the control panel again.

[Magic value: 95]

It doesn't even budge.

"Why...does my emotional fluctuation not count? Or is the system malfunctioning and not displaying the changes...?"

Wu An indeed did not sense any fluctuations in magic power.

"Ah...I understand..."

Being male and born with a deficiency, being able to transform into a magical girl is already defying the heavens.

Therefore, she faces numerous hardships and cannot possibly unleash her inner power like an ordinary magical girl...

The road ahead is fraught with difficulties... We must strive to improve ourselves!

Yin Xi had no idea what Wu An was thinking. She only saw that Wu An's face was getting redder and redder, as if she was holding her breath. Her fists were clenched tightly, and she looked like she was about to fight.

She glanced at Wu An's chest, where there was only a lone flower petal.

I roughly understand what Wu'an was thinking—she's really cute, being surpassed by the magical girl she saved must be very humiliating.

Just thinking about how she has such a smug, cold face, but is so weak that she can be knocked down with three punches and then cry.

Just thinking about such a scene makes me feel like I could live longer.

To become stronger—Yin Xi made up her mind that she must always maintain a strength greater than Wu An's.

Although it feels good to be protected by Wu'an, if I am strong enough, I can do either be protected by her or protect her.

"I'm leaving now."

Wu An muttered something under his breath, and before Yin Xi could stop him, he transformed into a streak of black light and flew away.

Yin Xi quickly gave chase, only to find that Wu An was flying much faster than expected, and she was actually struggling to keep up. She simply changed direction and flew towards her home.

"Flying so fast, there's no need to worry about her being unable to defeat or escape."
