Chapter 201: Old acquaintance

In a deserted corner of the Sui City Stadium.

The petite girl leaned against the wall, panting, completely out of breath, her eyes filled with unconcealed terror.

Bai Li, a student at Shanghai Normal University, is the true identity of the Magic Girl, Bai Lili.

After transforming, Bai Lili is a tall, slender beautiful girl. She often uses a traditional magic wand instead of a magic cannon. Combined with her pristine white aesthetic and elegant demeanor, she is incredibly popular.

But beneath that tall and slender exterior, no one would realize that Bai Lili's true identity, Bai Li, is a petite girl—

Less than one and a half meters tall, with a small and delicate figure, even if she stood right in front of people, no one would believe she was the Magic Girl Bai Lili.

“Huff… huff…”

Bai Li leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, frantically rummaging through her satchel.

guardian star! Where is the guardian star?!

Sui City is a trap! She shouldn't have been lured here by her teammates!

“Don’t worry, we didn’t even encounter Hellcat when we secretly went to Rong City for a group trip last time, so it’s even less likely this time in Sui City.”

“She and Xin Yuehu Cheshire Rabbit have become a fixed combination, so you can rest assured.”

Under the persuasion of her teammates, Bai Li reluctantly accepted the invitation from the Suicheng Hero Association and came to attend the performance at Firefly G125.

Then, upon entry, she got separated from her teammates, was pushed and shoved in the crowd, and just when she finally managed to get closer to the stage, she was knocked to the ground by an unknown passerby.

When she looked up and focused on the person in front of her, those heterochromatic cat eyes and deep blue cat ears reawakened Bai Li’s uneasy memories.

She had seen Hellcat’s true identity, and Hellcat had also seen her before she transformed. And the person who just knocked her down… without a doubt, it was definitely Hellcat!

Moreover, her magic power was only higher, not lower, than when she was in Shanghai. She had no way to deal with her, and might even be…

Bai Li was drenched in cold sweat, rummaging through her satchel, trying to find the guardian star in her pocket, so she could quickly transform into Bai Lili and prepare to escape.

She had to run quickly!

If Hellcat caught her again… with her current abundant magic power…

“So, you’re here.”

“!!!???!!”

A familiar voice came from behind her.

Bai Li almost dropped her satchel, hurriedly clutched it tightly, and turned to look at the dark blue Cat Girl standing helplessly not far away.

This familiar posture, this familiar expression, the Cat Girl in front of her was definitely an old acquaintance—Magic Girl Hell Shrike!

“You, you, you, don’t come over! Don’t come near me!”

The girl retreated two steps in terror, pulling out a small hair clip from her satchel, seemingly using it as a life-saving weapon, pointing it at the Cat Girl not far away, and shouting at her.

Nan Jiayu scratched behind her ear helplessly, and smoothed her tail.

“Sigh… why do you always run when you see me? Can’t you feel the abundant magic power on me?”

“Don’t come over! When you’re full of magic power, don’t you just love to pick fights?!”

Bai Li finally found her guardian star in her satchel, quickly clutching it tightly in her hand, afraid that Nan Jiayu would transform into Hellcat and attack her.

Su Tianqing stood not far away, watching the two with interest.

…Interesting.

A satisfied smile appeared on Fox Fox’s face.

How interesting, such a scene.

Little Fish was active as the Magic Girl Hellcat for a while in Shanghai, during which she had many interactions with Bai Lili, and even extracted magic power from her many times.

According to the Cat Girl’s honest confession, the way to replenish magic power from Bai Lili was by pressing her hands on her shoulders and wrists to absorb it. The process was very wholesome, completely without any world-destroying scenes.

But for Bai Lili herself, the experience of being caught by Hellcat to replenish magic power seemed to have caused her a considerable psychological shadow, even evolving into her current state.

“Listen, Bai Li, actually, I’m not here to fight you today. I just happened to pass by here so…”

“Only a ghost would believe you! How could it be such a coincidence?!”

Bai Li’s face turned pale, completely disbelieving the Cat Girl’s words.

Nan Jiayu was also a bit helpless, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Tianqing knew she was Hellcat, and naturally knew about the past grievances between Hellcat and Bai Lili. Her coming to find Bai Li now was also at Tianqing’s request:

“Little Fish, go apologize to her quickly, don’t let her think you’re rude,” Golden Fox said.

Coincidentally, Nan Jiayu herself also wanted to put an end to her past immature actions, so she quietly followed the fleeing Bai Li, all the way to here.

“…Bai Li, listen to me.”

Regardless of whether the other party was listening, Nan Jiayu spoke to her,

“When I was in Shanghai… I was young then, and many unpleasant things happened. I apologize to you.”

“…………”

The girl suddenly froze, staring blankly at the Cat Girl in front of her, momentarily unsure if she was genuinely apologizing or had other motives.

“But all that is in the past. I caused you a lot of trouble before, and I hope you can forgive my past immaturity.”

“…What’s wrong with you? Did you fall into debt?”

Hearing the Cat Girl say this, Bai Li remained silent for a long time, then hesitated for a while before speaking.

Nan Jiayu suddenly felt a vein throb on her forehead, an urge to rush over and give that sharp-tongued Bai Li two cat punches.

“What debt? Don’t be ridiculous. My friend knows I’m Hellcat, and she told me to come and apologize to you, it’s that simple.”

Bai Li remained silent, but the expression on her face had relaxed considerably, no longer as tense and wary as before.

But her sharp-tongued personality was still the same as before, always blurting out a deadly sarcastic remark that made people want to hit her.

She had targeted her several times precisely because of her sharp remarks, but she never expected to give her such a psychological shadow…

“Anyway, I won’t attack you again in the future. I’ve already found a stable source of magic power, so you can rest assured.”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course, I’m serious. If you don’t accept my apology, that’s fine too, after all, I used to…”

The two looked at each other, speechless.

Bai Li’s mood was very complicated.

Towards Hellcat, she had always been both fearful and annoyed. The moment she saw her, she would instinctively assess her magic power level, and then choose to launch magic missiles or turn and run away.

But she never expected that upon meeting again, her former opponent would sincerely apologize to her like this…

“…I say, you haven’t fallen in love, have you?”

“?!”

Nan Jiayu was startled.

Bai Li seriously scrutinized the Cat Girl in front of her, whose demeanor was completely different from before, and said softly,

“That makes a lot of sense. It seems your lover has changed you a lot, Nan Jiayu.”

“How did you know…”

“Anyway, since you came to apologize to me, let’s just forget about the past. After all, you didn’t do anything too outrageous,” Bai Li continued.

“Wait a minute! I haven’t even said anything and you’re already assuming I’m in love?!”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

The girl shrugged, a helpless smile on her face.

Watching the Cat Girl explode in a furry rage, Su Tianqing, who was observing from not far away, had an uncontrollable smile on her lips.
