The stars and the moon are a little sad

Alright, since everyone’s so full of energy, let’s hustle and finish the rest of the shoot!

“Xinxin? Wait, wait—I’m already exhausted today, can’t we…”

“Oh my? Big sis was just brimming with energy to crush me earlier.”

“T-That was—”

“Big sis, I deliberately slowed down the juicing speed just so you could keep filming. So until I’m satisfied, you have to hold on and complete the owner’s task.”

“Wha—don’t say it so… so weird!”

After the fun, Luo You started urging them to shoot the remaining scenes.

“And I can tell Auntie’s getting impatient too!” Luo You glanced at Ji Yue.

“Two scenes left for Ji Yue’s part.

Push a little harder, and tomorrow Auntie will be poisoned—turning into a natural seductress!”

Ji Yue coldly replied: “Say whatever you want. After cooperating to finish this shoot, you’ll never threaten me with the same trick again.”

“Got it~ I also want to have fun with Auntie willingly~”

When filming started, Luo You had the two shoot first while she slipped into the room, peeling off her soaked stockings.

Then, carefully, she draped the white socks diagonally over the bed’s edge.

Feeling something was missing, she folded the stockings into a few creases.

After that, she hopped onto the big bed, rolling around until the sheets were a mess.

Only then did Luo You nod in satisfaction.

The whole process was meticulous.

Like plating at a Michelin three-star restaurant—obsessed with angles and backdrop, refusing to serve until perfect.

Finally, like the last plating step—

Luo You grabbed a bottle of lube, pouring it in the bed’s center.

Splat!

The viscous liquid splashed, forming dark stains on the sheets.

Luo You nodded approvingly. “Aish, photos! Post!”

She remembered—Anjiu’er taught her how to capture “humiliation.”

Use “contrast”—shoot intimate clothes soaked in mysterious fluids to highlight the difference, giving viewers a sense of “reality.”

Luo You decided to apply this to her posts.

On her account, she was a famous fitness influencer—and the “sexy brat” thousands of followers wanted but couldn’t have. The contrast worked perfectly.

Sent!

But this time, Luo You only posted her own photos, not Ji Yue’s or Liyun’s—worried Ji Yue might accidentally see and recognize them.

Either way, secrecy was key~~

Luo You pocketed her phone contentedly and returned to filming.

By now, Xingyue had left the northwest, returning to Huahai City.

She couldn’t waste all her time outside watching the set.

That’d be cuckold behavior.

In the Huahai City branch—a large office building—only a few rooms were lit, feeling quite desolate.

Yet one room’s cold light seemed thick with exhaustion—

“Lady Xingyue, you look tired?” Luo Zining brought over a cup of tea.

“You can tell?” Xingyue wearily cradled the cup.

“Thank you.”

“No need. I actually have something to trouble you with.”

Luo Zining bowed her head.

While the old man was away, she’d frequent the Magical Alliance—test Divinity Particles’ changes on her, fuse the rest.

Also, consult Xingyue—learn magical girl combat and magic application.

“Little Red Riding Hood, any discomfort after fusing Divinity Particles?”

“None. I feel great… just no new special ability awakened yet.”

“Don’t rush that. Let it come naturally.”

Xingyue’s gaze toward Luo Zining carried clear encouragement.

The Little Red Riding Hood before her was another seedling who could shoulder the Magical Alliance’s future.

Luo Zining might not have the highest compatibility besides Herrera,

but hers was skyrocketing—an unprecedented case among known subjects.

Though the growth had stalled recently, it still proved Little Red Riding Hood’s special bond with Divinity Particles.

Because of this, the Alliance allocated more particles to her, hoping for similar changes.

“Little Red Riding Hood, you lack only experience and skills. The Jiuming Sea branch invited you, right? When free, train there.”

“Mmm… I’m still thinking…” Luo Zining murmured.

“Reluctant to leave family?”

Luo Zining’s voice suddenly rose: “Ha? No way!

That old geezer can do whatever! I just… feel attached to this land!”

As expected. Xingyue smiled.

A normal magical girl should be like this…

Unlike those obsessed with finding Herrera to brutally r*pe her.

“Lady Xingyue, how much do you know about Herrera?”

“Hm?” Xingyue looked up, meeting Luo Zining’s nervous yet curious eyes.

Her lips curved into an odd arc. “Well… probably more than anyone in the world.”

“T-Then… could I someday face Herrera head-on like you, force her into retirement?”

Xingyue’s brow twitched.

“I think, since you once cornered Herrera, Lady Xingyue, you could give me valuable advice.”

Luo Zining added.

Rash answers would only fuel her obsession. Xingyue looked up, eyes full of helplessness.

It’s only possible. Nothing is certain. Though you’ve fused Divinity Particles, don’t forget—you’re still a magical girl.

Magical girls wield all kinds of magic—that’s an advantage Herrera lacks.

Herrera’s powers are formidable, yes, but too specialized—all extremes in one field, lacking diversity compared to magic.

If you cleverly exploit this, confronting Herrera isn’t impossible.

“Direct confrontation may be tough, but indirect confrontation is entirely possible.”

Xingyue’s words opened a new door for Luo Zining.

So there’s more than just head-on…

“What’s indirect confrontation?”

“Interfere with Herrera’s actions while ensuring your safety—use your strengths against her weaknesses, creating massive constraints.

Achieve that, and you’re already super-first-class—even top Ten Seats might not manage it.

Direct confrontation, as said, means one-on-one duels with Herrera.”

Luo Zining had had new questions.

“Lady Xingyue, which are you?”

“…”

Xingyue gave her a meaningful look, then a confident, irrefutable reply.

“Direct, of course.”

“Amazing!” Luo Zining gaped, then asked: “Can I ask how you defeated Herrera before?”

“It wasn’t as impressive as you think. I used some small tricks, but mostly accumulated skill?”

“Sugoi!”

Xingyue’s humble reply filtered in Luo Zining’s mind as a master’s composure.

Worthy of the pinnacle of all magical girls!

Worthy of every magical girl’s goal!

Luo Zining suddenly wondered.

“Why doesn’t Lady Xingyue fuse Divinity Particles? You already rival Herrera directly—if you fused them, you’d definitely gain the upper hand.”

“Divinity Particles grant wondrous abilities—even one would boost me, thickening my chips against Herrera.

Yet such precious things fell to a rookie like me.”

“What’s wrong? Feel undeserving?” Xingyue countered.

“Mmm…”

“No pressure. You recovered these particles yourself—and not all were given to you. Accept them freely.”

“Nng… but… finding them was just luck…” Luo Zining hesitated.

“Actually, recovering them wasn’t complicated.

Before Aiden became a girl, I visited Jiuming Sea to observe little demons and stumbled upon them—no difficulty.”

Pure blind cat meets dead mouse.

“Have you tested your compatibility, Lady Xingyue? If so, what is it?”

“I haven’t—don’t know. But I infiltrated the異人 organization and learned Herrera’s.”

“How much?!” Luo Zining’s eyes sparkled.

“79%—unmatched heights.”

“Sev—!”

Luo Zining’s jaw dropped.

Her current compatibility was 38.9%—less than half.

As she opened her mouth to ask more, the desk phone lit up.

Xingyue’s attention shifted.

“!”

A new post from that slut.

At this hour, Xingyue could guess the content—headache incoming.

Opened—

「Got bent over by big sisters again! Scene too brutal—only posting these pics. Forced to keep “exercising” with them late night. If no follow-up post, means I’ve been fully bent over, nyah.

Photos.jpg, Photos.jpg, Photos.jpg」

Seeing the photos, Xingyue lowered her head—expression unreadable.

Her phone-holding palm clenched slightly, body trembling faintly.

All those previous posts about being bent over by big sisters, “Big sisters’ fingers too violent!”—Xingyue knew they were fake.

But this one was real!

Realer than pearls!

She knew everything—had seen it with her own eyes.

But unable to stop it—that’s what hurt.

“…”

Luo Zining at the desk saw Xingyue’s sudden demeanor and fell silent.

To make Lady Xingyue like this—it must be heartbreaking news.

[Another dimensional beast attack causing massive casualties?

Or a known magical girl sacrificed to beasts saving civilians?

Only such things could affect the world-caring strongest magical girl, right?]

Luo Zining inexplicably empathized, heart heavy with sorrow.

“Lady Xingyue, I don’t know what happened, but…”

Luo Zining bit her tongue hard, resolved, and said:

“My condolences.”
