“Good evening, audience friends!”
“Magic Fox Fox, dazzling debut!~”
A cute little face popped up on the phone screen, occupying half of it, revealing a bright smile towards the camera.
Hua Ling stared blankly at the bouncing fox ears on the screen, her mouth slightly agape, unsure of what to do.
It was eleven o'clock at night.
Normally, Hua Ling should have been sound asleep in her bed by now, but the girl in pajamas couldn't put down the sparkling screen in her hand.
“Cute Fox Fox, let mommy hug you quickly.”
An audience member with the ID 'Fox Baby Fox Baby Mommy Loves So Much' sent an SC.
“Thank you for the SC, Fox Baby~ But today is a singing stream for Fox Fox, so let's save the hugs for later~”
The bullet comments were constant, and SCs kept pouring in, so Golden Fox could only selectively read a few.
Such a lively scene greatly shocked Hua Ling.
It was her first time opening the Magic Girl Fox Fox Official live stream, and she hadn't expected to see such a bustling scene as soon as she entered.
Was Xin Yuehu really that popular?
But it made sense; the little fox was both cute and enthusiastic, practically perfect when she wasn't playing pranks, and she smelled good too—
Thinking of this, Hua Ling glanced at the golden bow in her hand.
This was a gift from Xin Yuehu, and it still carried a faint, fresh scent of gardenias.
She always had a pleasant floral scent about her…
Was it because she frequently maintained her tail fur? Or was it her natural scent?
Hua Ling couldn't help but recall that wonderfully soft and smooth touch from earlier.
“Let me secretly tell everyone something, Fox Fox went to play with the Magic Girls today~”
“It wasn't to cause trouble! It was very normal playing!”
Golden Fox smiled happily,
“I drank tea with Miss Nightingale, chatted about interesting things with Miss Iris, and… uh… played fun games with Miss Hyacinth!”
Hua Ling reserved judgment on that last sentence.
If tying Hyacinth to the ground with a tentacle blindfold and plant tentacles was considered playing a game.
“Fox Fox had a lot of fun today.”
“And I also promised Miss Nightingale and Miss Iris that I would sing for them both today, so… it's decided to be a singing stream!~”
“What songs do you all want to hear? Send them all in the bullet comments~”
A melodious song echoed in the bedroom.
It was a soft and sweet song, and the gentle humming flowing from the little fox's mouth seemed to carry the pure magic of the moon, quickly captivating Hua Ling's ears.
The girl gradually closed her eyes, immersed in the soft singing.
It was very gentle, very pleasant to listen to.
She usually played all sorts of pranks, but at times like these, she appeared so delicate, so endearing.
Especially on the lakeside bench, that delicate sense of dependence was irresistible.
The corners of the girl's mouth gradually curved upwards.
But just as her will seemed about to be completely captivated by that Golden Fox, another figure, shining like the sun, suddenly appeared in Hua Ling's mind.
“Hua Ling Meimei~”
“If you feel like you can't bear it, just come and tell me quietly, your older sister will keep your secret.”
Tianqing Jie…!
The girl's eyes snapped open, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.
Then she shook her head vigorously.
No!
How could she just sink into Xin Yuehu's soft embrace like this!
She was a Magic Girl! She was Magic Girl Iris, who steadfastly protected everyone!
But… but that little fox…
Hua Ling's emotions gradually calmed down, and her gaze fell back on Xin Yuehu, who was softly singing on the phone screen.
Only then did Hua Ling realize the thoughts in her heart.
Why?
Was it because she was interested in her appearance, or… was she interested in those pranks?
Or both?
“The next song is for Miss Iris.”
The voice from the earphones drew Hua Ling's attention back.
“Miss Iris~ Are you listening?”
“If you are, I hope this song brings you a good mood~”
A lively, sweet tune began, immersing the girl once again.
At the same time, in a residence in Huatianli Community.
The White Sable Spirit floated by the bed and said to the girl leaning against the headboard, playing on her phone.
“So, Xiaofeng, you should have been more meticulous during the pursuit today!”
“Even certain Star Realm Magic that even I don't know, you Magic Girls should be able to recognize them when you focus on identifying them!”
Nan Xiaofeng glanced at Bai Ling and replied expressionlessly:
“It's all because that Xin Yuehu is too cunning, otherwise I would have long since…”
“It's precisely because she's cunning that you, Xiaofeng, need to deal with her with twelve parts of attention.”
Bai Ling sighed, spreading her hands as she said,
“If Xin Yuehu hadn't come with malicious intent today, you, Xiaofeng, would have long since been dragged into her Mind Image Space.”
“In the future, you must be extremely careful. Don't just rush in headfirst because you have the support of Iris and Nightingale.”
Nan Xiaofeng didn't say much, silently turning off her phone screen and burrowing into bed, casually turning off the bedroom light.
“I know, I'll pay attention next time. Bai Ling, you should also rest early.”
“Mm, see you tomorrow then.”
The White Sable Spirit waved her hand and disappeared into the air with a turn.
The Observer needed to return to the Star Realm at night, and the room became quiet again.
However, the girl did not just fall asleep; her closed eyes quietly opened again, remembering what had happened today.
She impulsively pursued Xin Yuehu, but was outmaneuvered by her summoned familiar. The questions she originally wanted to ask Xin Yuehu remained unasked, and instead, she was severely disliked by her.
“Miss Hyacinth, it's cuter to just stay quiet.”
These were Xin Yuehu's words to her before she left.
Stay quiet…
No, if she were to stay quiet like Hua Ling, Nan Xiaofeng felt she definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.
And why should she care about that stinky fox's mood!
Thinking of this, the girl huffily rolled over.
Then she saw the golden-striped sock by her pillow, and her cheeks turned even redder.
Attacked by a tentacle blindfold, bound by vines emerging from the ground, and finally having her mouth stuffed with this pair of socks, Nan Xiaofeng felt today was simply her most humiliating day.
Nan Xiaofeng originally wanted to casually throw it into the trash can, but then, as if by some strange impulse, she kept it.
Seeing it lying quietly by her pillow, Nan Xiaofeng's hand involuntarily reached out.
This sock didn't have the strange smell she expected; instead, due to the permeation of Star Realm Magic, it retained the faint gardenia scent from Xin Yuehu's body.
A strange thought suddenly sprouted in Nan Xiaofeng's mind.
Xin Yuehu, why did she suddenly seem like a different person today?
Why wasn't she like yesterday?
Was it because she was too noisy?
“Ah ah ah ah!!”
Nan Xiaofeng covered her burning face, groaning softly muffled in her quilt.
What was going on! Why was her mind full of that Xin Yuehu!
Sleep! Start sleeping now! She had to forget these things!
The girl rolled over, firmly closing her eyes.
In a daze, Nan Xiaofeng's ears seemed to hear that gentle, doting lullaby again:
“Sleep, sleep.”
“My dearest baby~”
