Peony was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at her friend.

Although she gently reminded herself once, Zu Lu did not look at her; her gaze was fixed intently on that purple figure in the sky.

With a touch of reverence and admiration...

She looked exactly like a little fangirl.

She used to hate fans who disturbed her, but now she has become the person she used to dislike the most...

Although Zi Yuan is indeed beautiful, there’s no need to stare so much, right? Wasn’t she worried about me just a moment ago?

Look at me more, I’m still right next to you.

Feeling a bit sour in her heart, she watched as Zi Yuan suddenly snapped her fingers in the sky.

The crisp sound of the snap echoed over the ocean, causing a slight vibration in space.

However, it was just a minor tremor without causing any cracks.

Those fair five fingers pressed on where the space shook.

With a sudden exertion!

Forcibly shattered the space!

Before the slender magic power line could shoot over, Zi Yuan grabbed the edge of the shattered space, and like throwing a javelin, hurled it towards the gray-white magical girl!

The unrivaled terrifying force suddenly tore the originally small space crack open, causing it to spread and extend like a long snake, colliding head-on with the masterpiece attack of the gray-white magical girl!

Faced with a huge explosion, the seawater erupted into a sky-high tsunami. Caught off guard, Peony was sent flying, struggling for a while before barely stabilizing herself.

She looked at Zu Lu with some resentment.

Clearly, I am your teammate!

Even during the battle, this guy was so focused on watching Zi Yuan that she didn’t even notice she was caught up in it!

Are you really that obsessed? Not even sparing a glance at me! It turns out those words of comfort weren’t genuine!

Thinking with some resentment, as the seawater dispersed and her vision gradually cleared.

She saw a huge space crack from Zi Yuan’s hand all the way to the gray-white magical girl’s waist.

This guy, forcibly, tore open a space crack to use as an attack method.

Directly bisecting the gray-white magical girl at the peak of Full Bloom Great Perfection... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"The little god of the mortal world."

Only to see Zi Yuan take a step to the gray-white magical girl’s front, and with a little hand, slapped her head.

Purple flames instantly engulfed the gray-white magical girl who still wanted to resist, "You tried your best."

From "Thriller Paradise".

Then, with both hands behind her back, the purple figure stood proudly on the heavens: "You witnessed my spatial power, so you died with purpose."

"What kind of spatial power is that! It’s just pure strength!"

Behind Zi Yuan, a red-haired magical girl was shouting excitedly, "That’s not how my spatial power is used! Give it back! Give me back my Psychic Realm! If the juniors see it, they’ll misunderstand my ability!"

"This move is called Spatial Slash."

"Where’s the slash? Isn’t it just hand tearing?"

"Noisy."

"Back when you asked me for spatial power, you weren’t this cold; you were so patient and gentle. Now that you’ve tricked me, you’re impatient with me..."

Peony opened her mouth wide, looking at the red magical girl muttering next to Zi Yuan for a long time.

Finally, she couldn’t help but tears welled up in her eyes, crying out:

"An Shiyu!"

...

Peony rushed up, hugged An Shiyu, and began to cry bitterly, reminding Zi Yuan of that Senior Cui Que in the past.

She used to think that magical girls not cultivating Dao Heart hindered their practice.

But the more she got to know about magical girls, the more she understood that this path of true emotions and desires also fits magical girls.

It’s merely a choice of which path to follow; the great paths of the world are not singular.

But judging from this trip to the Great Emperor Forbidden Area, most of the true emotions and desires are a side path, as getting caught in inner demons is easy, and they can’t even pass the first level of the Heart Image Remains.

Seeking the great path seems difficult.

She didn’t see many magical girls in the entire Life Forbidden Zone, only that certain someone and another who had a decent Dao Heart but whose strength was too weak, with ambition as high as the heavens and fate as thin as paper, a typical destined Fate Breaker, likely to face great calamities in the future and difficult to achieve the path.

The beginning was a spectacle at the entrance of the secret realm, and at the end, a lone enjoyment of opportunity, also a must-taste element in web novels...

"Sect Leader..."

While Peony was crying in An Shiyu’s arms, Zu Lu flew to Zi Yuan’s side, taking a deep breath, "Everyone in the Cyan Cloud Sect has been looking for you. During this time, everyone has been very worried about you."

"Oh." Zi Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Have the college entrance exams passed?"

Zu Lu froze, not expecting the Sect Leader to ask this, "Not yet."

"Then that’s good."

For a moment, at a loss for words, is the Sect Master also going to take the college entrance exams?

Speaking of which, Zu Lu hasn’t taken the college entrance exams yet...

After a cough, Zu Lu continued, "That gray-white magical girl was constantly obstructing your return, Sect Leader. Peony and I spent quite a bit of effort to stop her, luckily without affecting your return."

"Mm."

Taking a deep breath, Zu Lu looked at that pretty face again, her heart beating slightly faster.

Her mind once again recalled the image of Jiang Si.

Younger than herself, he was.

But still, she couldn’t help it, and in a small voice, she said again, "We, we did pretty well, right?"

Zi Yuan nodded slightly, "Well done."

So, Zu Lu clenched her fists, her heart jubilant.

Feeling both the shame of seeking praise from a younger boy and the joy of being acknowledged by the person she looked up to.
