The dangerous situation with the giant sun has been successfully resolved, and we learned today that someone will be coming to deal with it soon.

The four of them are now free of any trouble.

Bai Lu immediately and warmly invited the three of them to her home to rest.

…………

Bai Lu's residence is named Tianfu Jiangjing.

This is a high-end residential community near the Bibo River. The buildings are in the Baroque style, a waterfront mansion with huge green spaces, complete facilities, and private space.

The three followed Bai Lu all the way to the villa area.

Looking at the magnificent detached villa in front of him, Cangxing felt a sudden pang of sadness. Pushing open the bronze door, the exquisite and spacious interior came into view, and his heart sank even deeper into sorrow.

She vaguely remembered that she once seemed to have a house that was no less impressive than this one... but after that great battle, it was now just ruins.

"Ugh."

She couldn't help but sigh, took a few steps forward, and looking at Zhong Hui's back, she suddenly remembered a very important question.

Zhong Hui had previously said that he could restore the damaged house, but at that time he was only at the Qi Refining stage and his magic power was insufficient. He would have to wait until he reached the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage, which corresponds to a strength of roughly two to three stars.

"What's Zhong Hui's strength now? Oh, he's already reached three stars."

Cang Xing's face lit up instantly. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Hui, his voice filled with anticipation: "Now that your strength has reached three stars, can you repair my house?"

Zhong Hui looked at Cang Xing's hopeful eyes and nodded with a strange expression.

"Long live!"

Cangxing jumped up with joy and then hugged Zhong Hui tightly, overjoyed beyond measure.

After years of hard work and spending hundreds of millions of savings to buy the house, I've finally been able to get it back!

How could she remain calm? How could she not be happy?

"What's wrong with her?" Bai Lu couldn't understand why Cang Xing, who was perfectly fine, had suddenly gone mad.

Yingguang, who was in the know, whispered, "Let him be happy for a while... She's been waiting for this day for more than two months."

Bai Lu still didn't quite understand, but she didn't say anything to bother her.

In the spacious and luxurious living room of the villa, Cangxing held Zhong Hui tightly, who was smiling helplessly, and never let go.

Chapter 146 Cecilia's Arrival

As the head of Huning County, and with the added strength of the three-star magical girl, Bai Lu's salary and benefits are naturally not low.

This lakeside villa alone is worth over 100 million yuan.

The entire apartment is in a superb location, built right by the river. Opening the window reveals the clear blue waters of the river, and you can take in the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters.

The house is luxuriously and exquisitely decorated inside and out, and fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, ensuring that anyone living here can live a comfortable and pleasant life.

After Bai Lu led the three into her home, she warmly invited Cang Xing, who was still holding Zhong Hui, to sit down. Then, after asking the three about their taste preferences, she turned around, took out drinks from the refrigerator, and handed them out one by one.

"You guys sit down and rest for a while, I'll go cut some fruit."

"Let me help you." Cang Xing glanced at Zhong Hui, her cheeks flushing slightly as she recalled her overly bold actions. She immediately stood up, and Ying Huang silently followed suit.

Bai Lu quickly waved her hand in response, saying, "No need, no need. You traveled all the way to Huning County to deliver intelligence, and you even helped me capture the Giant Sun Divine Envoy and protect the safety of the county. You have done me a tremendous favor."

"As the person in charge of Huning County, I must thank you properly today. I can do this little thing of cutting fruit myself. You just need to sit and watch TV."

Before the two could say anything more, Bai Lu turned and went into the kitchen.

Cangxing and Yinghong exchanged a glance, then followed Zhong Hui, who had already adapted to local customs, and snuggled up on the soft sofa, sipping iced drinks and watching casual variety shows to pass the time.

This was a rare moment of leisure for the group recently.

After all, during this period, the entire Fangyuan City had been practically locked in a battle with the divine messenger, keeping them extremely busy with one fight after another.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

"They're here so fast?" Cang Xing glanced at the door and was about to get up to open it when Bai Lu, who was busy in the kitchen, was even faster and rushed to the door ahead of him.

The door opened, and standing outside was not Cecilia, whom the group had been longing for, but three deliverymen in matching gray-blue uniforms, carrying food boxes.

"Hello, boss!" The lead deliveryman bowed in greeting.

"Thank you for your hard work. Just leave the things on the table. Go to the finance department to collect your red envelope later."

After giving instructions to the delivery person in a gentle manner, Bai Lu turned to the three people on the sofa with a smile and said, "You've all worked so hard this time. I had already promised to treat you well, but now that things have temporarily come to a close and it will be a while before Lady Cecilia arrives, I took the liberty of ordering our restaurant's signature dishes, all of which are local specialties of Hu Ning. I hope you won't mind and that you will enjoy your meal."

The gleaming marble dining table was soon filled with a variety of abundant seafood.

A table was laden with various dishes of hairy crabs, fresh mandarin fish, and desserts made with white dew frost tea, their aromas irresistible and their appearance incredibly tempting.

Yingguang stared at the golden-yellow hairy crab and couldn't help but quietly swallow.

The crabs from Huning County are famous for their plump roe and meat, and are renowned throughout the north of the Yangtze River. She had been thinking about them ever since she got off the bus.

Cang Xing looked at the table full of delicious food and was equally tempted. He smiled and said, "Then we won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your hospitality!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to the dining table with the fluorescent lights on and eagerly reached out her sinful hands to the hairy crabs.

Zhong Hui followed him over, and seeing Cang Xing already devouring the crab, he shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you always say you wanted to lose weight? These crabs are high in calories..."

"Hey, how can you have the energy to lose weight if you don't eat your fill?" Cangxing looked aggrieved and quickly interrupted him, picking off a plump crab leg and stuffing it into his mouth. "It's super delicious, you have to try it."

Zhong Hui tasted a slightly sweet flavor. He bit into the crab meat, and the tender flesh mixed with the rich crab roe melted in his mouth, creating a wonderfully fresh and delicious taste that was truly amazing.

Thus, the three of them worked in perfect unison, transforming into crab killers and focusing on enjoying the crabs on the table.

"If you don't have enough, just tell me, and I'll give you as much as you need."

Bai Lu, smiling as she watched the lively scene, approached with a plate of cut fruit and white wine: "If you get tired of the food, you can try some frosty tea desserts and fruit, or have some white wine to cleanse your palate. It's very low in alcohol. You don't have to worry about getting drunk."

"Okay." Cangxing stopped Bailu, who was about to walk away, and stuffed a crab leg into her mouth. "Don't bother, let's eat together."

Bai Lu smiled and nodded, then sat down and joined the three of them to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

As autumn approaches, the weather is fine and the evening breeze is gentle.

The four sat around a table, chatting and laughing casually while enjoying the food. Looking up, they could see the rippling blue river outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun spreading across the surface, and the distant green mountains and lush forests all bathed in a warm golden hue.

Such a peaceful and leisurely daily life is captivating and enviable.

…………

As night falls, lights come on one after another, and the entire Huning County seems tireless, transforming into a bustling city that never sleeps.

The pleasant dinner party came to an end, and Cangxing offered to help clean up the living room.

The group then sat back down on the sofa, their eyes occasionally glancing at the clock on the wall and then at the closed door, their movements perfectly synchronized.

No wonder they were so excited.

A figure standing at the pinnacle of magical girls, an idol and role model in the hearts of countless people, is about to arrive.

Although the three possessed extraordinary power, they were, in essence, just girls in their early twenties. Faced with a senior who was both highly skilled and renowned, they were simply unable to maintain a calm demeanor.

Zhong Hui, however, remained remarkably calm.

He was not from this world and knew little about Cecilia's past, only that she was extremely powerful, so he could not empathize with the other three's excitement.

However, he didn't say much and just quietly waited with them.

"Tick, tick..."

The pointer slowly turned, and with each soft click, it tugged at the heartstrings of the three members of the Azure Star Clan.

At that moment, for the first time, they felt that time was exceptionally long and unbearable.

"Ding dong~"

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang sharply in the deathly silent living room.

The three of them froze instantly and quickly exchanged a glance.

The next second, all three of them stood up at the same time, each wanting to be the first to open the door and see Cecilia.

Unfortunately, the outcome of this competition was already decided from the very beginning.

As soon as Bai Lu and Cang Xing stood up, Ying Fu activated her power and used "Harmony with Light and Dust" to instantly teleport to the doorway.

She turned back and smiled apologetically at the two dejected men, then reached out and opened the tightly closed door.

A tall and slender figure came into view.

Her long hair cascaded down her back, and she looked dashing and spirited. She wore no makeup and dressed simply and casually, yet she was so radiant that she was impossible to ignore.

It was Cecilia, the woman the three of them had been longing for.

"Ce...Ceci...Lady Cecilia!"

Having finally gotten close to her idol, Yinghu was so nervous that she dared not look him in the eye. She lowered her head, her voice so soft it was barely audible, and she even shouted out the last two words.

As soon as she finished speaking, she belatedly realized how rude she had been. Her small face flushed red, and she lowered her head even further, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"You're Fluorescence, aren't you?"

The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling all of Yingguang's tension and embarrassment. She subconsciously looked up and met Cecilia's gentle gaze.

What kind of eyes are these?

It is as beautiful and mysterious as a galaxy, and as captivating as a gemstone, making people intoxicated and fascinated.

Fluorescent was at a loss for words, and finally bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "You... hello, my name is Fluorescent, nice to meet you!"

"Please give me your guidance as well." Cecilia smiled gently and reached out her hand to the shy child.

Looking at the slender, well-proportioned hands before him, Yingguang, drawing courage from who-knows-where, suddenly reached out and grasped them, refusing to let go for a long time.

Cangxing whispered to the two people beside her, "Yinghong has always admired Lady Cecilia and regarded her as the greatest idol of her life. Today, she was able to get close to her. She has finally fulfilled her dream."

Bai Lu bit her lip, her face full of envy: "Damn it! I really want to touch Lady Cecilia's hand too!"

Both of them spoke in hushed tones, but for a seven-star magical girl, it was no different from speaking frankly.

Cecilia didn't pretend not to know; she took the initiative to greet and shake hands with Cangxing and Bailu in turn, and even took a group photo with them.

In just a few minutes, this first meeting between fans and idols came to a successful close.

The five people returned to their topic and took their seats at another table.
