My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 48 My Sister's Determination

Bai Youqing's room

A faint green light appeared in the originally dark room.

Bai Youqing, dressed in a vibrant emerald green magical gown, appeared on the balcony. She gazed gently at the bright moon.

"Father, I've become a magical girl. Now I have the ability to protect my family. I no longer need to hide in my brother's arms to shelter me from the wind and rain."

"It's thundering and raining today, you're not really craving spicy crayfish, are you?! You're so disappointing. Other people's warnings are either about good or bad omens for their families, but all you think about is food..."

The girl gazed at the moonlight and spoke many of her innermost thoughts.

The moonlight only stopped slowly when it was completely obscured by dark clouds, and the girl turned her head to see...

Xiao Ai was struggling to hold her phone, which was about the same size as her, while she was playing games on her bed.

At this moment, Xiao Ai's color was much darker than before, with an overall dark blue hue, accompanied by some shimmering purple and pink, gradually becoming lighter from the depths of the inside out.

Those fairy wings exuded a captivating and ethereal aura.

"When did you come out?"

Bai Youqing's face was slightly flushed. Many of the things she had just said were things she couldn't tell outsiders.

"Don't worry, I didn't hear much. I only heard about it starting from the part about your father liking to eat crayfish. As for what you said later about finding a boyfriend like your brother, I didn't hear any of that."

Xiao Ai was still engrossed in her phone and didn't even look up.

Bai Youqing's fist hardened; she truly wanted to kill this magical elf to silence her and destroy the evidence.

"Sniff...sniff, I smell murderous intent!"

Xiao Ai sniffed, looked up and found Bai Youqing's face was as red as an apple, and her eyes were filled with embarrassment and anger.

"I'm warning you, the sprite network among us magical sprites is interconnected. If you dare to do anything bad to me, I'll immediately spread your embarrassing story throughout all the magical sprites on Earth."

"Then go ahead and say it. I'll send you straight to Sister Yuyi. At worst, I'll die, and you'll never be free again."

Bai Youqing seemed to have given up entirely.

"Hey, doesn't your human leader always say we should build a community with a shared future for mankind and cooperate for mutual benefit? Stop thinking about doing things that harm others without benefiting yourself!"

"Other magical spirits do their best to help magical girls become stronger, but you're addicted to mobile games all day long. Tell me, how can we achieve a win-win situation?"

Bai Youqing grew angrier the more she thought about it, especially after seeing Xiao Ai use her account to achieve a dismal 0/7/5 score.

"I want to help you too! But you don't have enough magic power, and you don't have any magic equipment. You can't cook without rice, so I can't help you! I can only find solace in nature and immerse myself in mobile games."

"That's too much. Although what you said is true, could you be a little more tactful? Besides, as a magical elf, you could also tell me some common knowledge about monsters and magical girls."

Bai Youqing looked somewhat sullen as she watched the magical elf Xiao Ai take the phone back.

"Alright, alright, stop looking so disappointed. I can't teach you magic skills for now, but I can still talk about some theoretical knowledge, such as the magical girl ranking system, the characteristics and weaknesses of Abyssal Beasts, Abyssal Demons, and Abyssal Demonesses..."

"Hey, that's a good idea."

"Don't rush, help me recover the economy first." Xiao Ai handed the phone to Bai Youqing, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You're already four or five thousand behind others in terms of finances, how could you possibly catch up?"

"I don't care, I don't care!" Little Ai rolled around on the bed, making a mess of the blankets.

After a long pause, Bai Youqing took the phone. What else could she do? After all, it was her number!

"The magical girl levels are mainly divided into Seedling, Sprouting, Spreading Leaves, Breaking Bud, and Blooming."

"How many 'Blooming Flower' level mages do we humans have to date?"

"According to our magical elves' internal records, there are currently 34 Blooming Flower level mages worldwide. The highest record was 68 two years ago, but 34 of them have since perished."

"So little."

"None of that is relevant to you. Your most important task right now is to summon the Magic Device before you turn eighteen."

Why?

"If you haven't been able to summon a magical artifact by adulthood, your body will become increasingly weak in its connection to magical mediums until you can no longer feel magic at all, thus becoming an ordinary person."

Little Ai, the magical sprite, sighed softly as she finished speaking.

The fact that superpowered individuals can become ordinary people overnight is something many magical girls cannot accept.

As a result, many magical girls are still reluctant to give up this superhuman power, leading many to go astray and fall into witch organizations.

Fortunately, the relevant departments in the human world promptly introduced numerous welfare policies for those retired magical girls, which, while not completely eliminating the trend, significantly reduced it.

"Oh, I see. So what exactly does that magic-guided device look like?"

Bai Youqing was somewhat puzzled.

"Magical artifacts are equivalent to advanced weapons for magical girls. Each magical girl's magic core possesses holy power. When the holy power is fully gathered, the magic wand you usually use will condense into the magical weapon you desire."

Each magical girl possesses a unique magical artifact, varying in shape and style, but undoubtedly only those magical girls who manifest their magical artifacts are truly qualified magical girls.

As she spoke, a white light emanated from Xiao Ai's delicate body, dazzlingly bright.

Bai Youqing felt as if she had entered another dimension, where countless colorful magical artifacts swirled around her, dazzling her eyes.

"Scissors, thread, magic wand, ribbon, magic ring, spellbook, bow and arrow, spear..."

"Whoosh~"

With a soft sound, Bai Youqing woke up.

"Look, those are the magical artifacts you just saw. Is there one you like?"

"Um."

Bai Youqing nodded. As someone who had practiced martial arts since childhood, she hoped that her magical artifact would be something like a knife, fork, sword, or halberd. She really wasn't interested in the magic wands held by magical girls in anime.

She prefers a DPS who can both tank and deal damage to an APC with high attack but low defense.

"Now that we have a goal, that's good."

Xiao Ai, the elf, was never worried about Bai Youqing's talent; it was only a matter of time before she summoned the magic artifact.

"Xiao Ai, I used to think that the disaster beasts were weak and stupid monsters when I watched anime. But the lesson I learned from the wetland park last time taught me that they are really insidious and cunning. So why do anime portray them as so weak?"

"Do you think the first monster you faced was very strong?"

"Uh, very weak..."

"The monsters depicted in the anime are actually quite similar in strength to those in reality. Magical girls can generally eliminate monsters of the same level. However, during the Third Black Tide Crisis, humanity's resistance was repeatedly at a disadvantage for two reasons."

Firstly, as long as the Abyss Gate remains open, the number of them invading Earth will be endless, while for humanity, the process of training a qualified magical girl is extremely long.

Secondly, the existence of the Abyss Academy taught those simple-minded monsters to cooperate, making them cunning and treacherous.

"Abyss Academy?" Upon hearing this strange name, Bai Youqing paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it the same kind of architecture as our human schools?"

"Yes."

"Then I will definitely destroy the Abyss Academy when I have the chance in the future."

Bai Youqing secretly made up her mind and set her first small goal.

Then he asked again, "Xiao Ai, what is the Abyss Air? I've seen news reports about this plague-like gas over the years."

"The abyss's energy is a poison to humans. It can make humans lose their minds and turn them into monsters, such as the flesh and blood monsters you see today. The demons are all transformed from humans who have been corrupted."

But for magical girls, it's just EXP, experience points. When they kill monsters, they drop Abyss Stones or transform them into Abyss Energy.

The former can be preserved and contains a high concentration of magic power, but its disadvantage is that it contains many impurities and is not easily absorbed. It can only be absorbed and used after having a magic conduit.

The latter cannot be stored and contains a low concentration of magic power, but its advantage is that it is easily absorbed. Before the advent of magic conduits, you could only absorb the abyssal energy, purifying it through the magic core into holy power for your own use.

While chattering away, Xiao Ai snatched the phone away as soon as she saw Bai Youqing working so hard to bring the economy back to number one.

This left Bai Youqing, who needed their help, both angry and speechless.

A few minutes later, despite Xiao Ai's efforts, she ultimately lost the game.

The two, one human and one elf, lay sprawled on the bed. Bai Youqing had already obtained the information she wanted and snatched the phone back.

Xiao Ai remained silent, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a long pause, she said, "Xiao Qing, I might not be able to appear in reality very often in the future. You need to learn to take good care of yourself..."

"What's wrong? You're talking like you're about to die." Bai Youqing turned her head to look at the little elf in front of her, somewhat puzzled.

"Tell me, what's the point of living if you're a spirit without a cell phone?" Xiao Ai looked down at her with a pitiful expression.

"..." Bai Youqing was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply, "How did I end up meeting such an elf who is proficient in everything from eating and drinking to having fun?"

"When we signed the contract, I already said I was a 'misfortune elf'!"
