Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

Chapter 213: Marriage Contract: The God of War's Mad Dragon Son-in-Law

"...Just as the Golden Calamity Dragon King was running rampant, and Guangzhou was in imminent danger, Magical Girl Blackberry bent down to pick up a stone, looked at the sky, and said, 'Damn Disaster Beast!' Then she threw the stone."

"Then the Golden Calamity Dragon King in the sky emitted a dazzling, intense light, turned around, and fled in panic."

"This is an S-class Disaster Beast. It has been circling above Guangzhou for a long time, and I've endured it long enough,' Magical Girl Blackberry said indignantly."

"The children all clapped enthusiastically, feeling proud that Guangzhou had such a great leader!"

Mingxin City, inside the Disaster Control Bureau.

The broadcast kept playing the latest article, "Magical Girl Blackberry Knocks Down the Golden Calamity Dragon King with a Stone."

After hearing about the incident in Guangzhou, the reporters from the TV station interviewed Magical Girl Blackberry and worked overnight to produce this article.

Because it was sincere and heartfelt, coupled with excellent writing, it was immediately recognized by the South China Disaster Control Bureau as an outstanding article of the year.

It was distributed to all major Disaster Control Bureaus, with instructions to memorize it in full and read it aloud.

However, Magical Girl Blackberry herself, the one who threw the stone and repelled the S-class Disaster Beast, the Golden Calamity Dragon King, in the article,was now sitting next to Keke and Silver Lotus. Not just her face, even her earlobes were completely flushed red.

Covering her face, her voice even had a hint of a sob, "I, I didn't say it like that back then!"

Even Keke had to put on a bit of a senior's demeanor at this moment, gently patting Magical Girl Blackberry's head to comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay. The Disaster Control Bureau is just like that, they exaggerate a little..."

"It's not just a little exaggeration! There isn't a single true sentence!"

"Then isn't it true that you repelled the S-class Disaster Beast with that stone?" Silver Lotus comforted from the side. "At least that part isn't false, right?"

"I said it wasn't me who repelled it!" Blackberry wiped her tears, put her hands down, her eyes red, her face full of grievance. "I said the Disaster Beast ran away on its own. It, it might not be inherently bad, so it left without hurting anyone..."

"But."

Silver Lotus sat by the table, propping her small face with one hand. "That kind of statement obviously can't be adopted, right? South China is already plagued by disasters, they have no time to distinguish between good and bad Disaster Beasts. Labeling them all as enemies and eliminating them is the most correct approach. If we promote ideas like some Disaster Beasts are good, Disaster Beasts have dreams too, we should coexist peacefully with good Disaster Beasts... the price we might pay could be beyond imagination."

"I know."

Blackberry sniffled and said with a sob, "I know it would cause trouble for everyone. So I said, the Disaster Beast might have been afraid of the other Magical Girls' power and left. I said it wasn't me who repelled it. Yet they still wrote it like this. And it wasn't circling above Guangzhou. I also didn't say 'damn Disaster Beast.' I didn't endure it for a long time..."

Listening to the black-clad Magical Girl complain while crying, Keke could only comfort her a few more words.

They were originally supposed to be preparing to go back today.

After finishing the competition, at most they would play around a bit more, exchange experiences with other Magical Girls from the Disaster Control Bureau, and then this event would be considered perfectly concluded.

After all, Keke had already won the championship, boosting the reputation of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau.

So people wouldn't think they were just an appendage of the Azure Cloud Sect. Seeing Keke's results, everyone would know that the Magical Girls in the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau themselves were also very capable.

But because of the sudden appearance of the Golden Calamity Dragon King, the Disaster Control Bureau in South China naturally couldn't sit still.

That Disaster Beast was clearly an extremely dangerous S-class Disaster Beast. Although according to Silver Lotus it only caused some property damage and no casualties, it was still a huge hidden danger after all.

And what South China could least accept was hidden dangers.

For the Disaster Control Bureaus in South China, constantly encountering various strange disasters and having their nerves frayed by the old world, they strived to crush all known hidden dangers in the cradle.

Such a huge S-class Disaster Beast was, of course, immediately reported to the Central Bureau, hoping for support.

But the Central Bureau just told them that this S-class Disaster Beast came from Beihai, and the Magical Girls of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau had more dealings with this beast.

They were told to ask the Magical Girls of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau.

That's why Keke, Silver Lotus, and a few others were pulled into the conference room of the Mingxin City Disaster Control Bureau for a meeting.

Basically, it was to ask them about the Golden Calamity Dragon King, including how to deal with it.

Silver Lotus was also very straightforward in telling them that the Golden Calamity Dragon King would not actively attack. When it appears, as long as personnel evacuation is done properly, there basically won't be any danger. For the rest, just wait for it to leave on its own.

The staff of the South China Disaster Control Bureau naturally didn't believe it, so a group of people went back and forth arguing in the conference room.

It was somewhat pointless.

The negotiation work was quickly handed over to Susan. Susan was always very capable in this area and soon left the South China Disaster Control Bureau staff speechless. The entire conference room was left with only the broadcast.

After comforting her for a while, Magical Girl Blackberry finally recovered from her sadness and stopped crying,

though she still muttered that the Golden Calamity Dragon King was really different, and if only she could see it again.

For a moment, it made Keke think of Leia. She also really wanted to see Leia again.

So she encouraged Blackberry, telling her they would definitely meet again in the future,

making the previously depressed Blackberry smile through her tears.

The boring meeting was about to end. The South China Disaster Control Bureau over there said they wanted to give them gifts, so the few of them could only wait.

With nothing to do, Yiyi asked Keke, "How did you end up sleeping with Shion?"

"I came over to deliver a gift late at night, and I thought, maybe Teacher Shion could rest with me. It was just something I said casually."

She didn't hide it. "I didn't expect Teacher Shion to agree."

Keke was originally worried that her good friend might be unhappy because of her hatred for Shion.

But after hearing it, Yiyi showed a somewhat envious expression. "Then she's really good to you, willing to sleep with you."

"Teacher Shion is like that."

Feeling a bit proud, Keke also voiced her thoughts. "Sometimes I feel that Teacher Shion is really similar to big brother..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Yiyi suddenly deny it seriously startled Keke.

Susan and An Shiyu beside them couldn't help but look over.

Silver Lotus also realized her reaction was a bit intense, then coughed twice. "I mean, that kind of thing is impossible."

"Of course I know it's impossible." Keke looked at her strangely. "I just think Teacher Shion has been influenced by my brother a lot, in many ways."

"Oh, oh, lovers are like that. After being together for a long time, they become more and more like each other..."

"Yeah, that's what they say in manga too."

Not thinking too much about it, Keke lay down on the table and couldn't help but murmur, "I wonder what big brother and Teacher Shion are doing now."

"If it's Xiang Wei, it's probably a date."

"Most likely a date."

"Definitely a date."

Silver Lotus, Susan, and An Shiyu answered one after another.

Blackberry then asked curiously, "Do you all like him a lot?"

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

Several gazes turned towards her, and Blackberry immediately shrank her neck, feeling a bit scared.

"I mean, it feels like you all seem to care a lot..."

Just as she was sitting on pins and needles, wanting to run away,

the director of the Mingxin City Disaster Control Bureau finally flew in.

He was also an elderly Incubator, who said with a smile:

"Everyone, this time, in many aspects, we have gained quite a lot."

"The most gratifying thing is the new usage of the Dream Core. I'd like to share this with you first, hoping you can bring it to the Azure Cloud Sect in Beihai, as a token of our Disaster Control Bureau's sincerity. The South China Disaster Control Bureau warmly welcomes the Azure Cloud Sect to establish a branch in South China."

.......

Jiang Si originally wanted to go back to the Main God Space first to check.

After all, the Main God system notified him that Ruo Yun and the others' mission was complete. He was a bit curious about their gains.

But halfway there, he received an invitation from the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom.

Perhaps because of South China's vigilance towards the Mirror World, the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom didn't dare to show up casually.

Abilities like pulling people into the mirror space at will, as she did back in Beihai, were even more impossible to use lightly.

After all, South China was the most vigilant against the Mirror Kingdom.

The damage the Mirror Kingdom caused to South China back then was far beyond what Disaster Beasts and the Witch Association could compare to.

It was an eternal wound in the hearts of everyone in South China.

To put it bluntly, the intense battles between the Magical Girls of South China and the Witch Association were mostly treated as training exercises.

To prevent the next Mirror Kingdom incident from happening.

At the same time, South China also had many magics and technologies specifically targeting the Mirror Kingdom. Things like [Echo of the Starlight's Radiance]—such detection cards were basically standard issue for every Magical Girl. They would casually scan a card for fun in their spare time. If the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom dared to show her face casually in South China, she would probably be quickly locked onto by the South China Disaster Control Bureau.

Even Jiang Si didn't plan to enter and exit the Main God Space casually.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Now, the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom's message didn't dare to use Mirror Kingdom technology either. Instead, she had someone from the Witch Association contact him using a crystal ball.

The Witch Association's crystal ball was one of the few tools that could avoid detection by the South China Disaster Control Bureau. That was also the reason why this thing hadn't been abandoned by the Witch Association yet.

Magical Girls like those in Beihai who could engage in crystal ball detection and counter-detection battles with the Captain were too few. Four Leaf, Six Leaf, and that person from the Disaster Control Bureau were exceptions.

Generally, there were very few magics that could detect the Witch Association's crystal balls, otherwise the Witch Association would have long since had no room to survive.

According to the message, he left Mingxin City and walked to a river in the suburbs.

Mingxin City was situated by a large river. This large river connected in all directions, branching out into several smaller rivers after leaving Mingxin City.

The place Jiang Si came to now was a small river branch from the north of Mingxin City. The river water was relatively clear, and there weren't many people around. Because the water flow wasn't strong enough, there were at most only fishing enthusiasts around; boats didn't come here either.

After walking to the riverbank and looking at the sparkling river water, he vaguely saw the figure of the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom.

At this moment, she was sitting in an independent space, looking at him with a cold expression.

In the rippling water, her gaze also seemed uncertain.

Jiang Si didn't think too much and directly jumped down.

The river water wasn't even splashed.

When Jiang Si jumped down, he only felt the world flip for a moment, not even feeling anything unusual.

Climbing out of the river water, he wasn't even soaked, just a bit damp.

Probably the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom did something. Jiang Si didn't understand the technology here very well.

When he jumped from the river onto the bank, the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom was sitting nearby, holding a fishing rod.

As a fishing enthusiast, she really had no skill. Jiang Si looked; there wasn't a single fish in the bucket.

But that was fine, lest while chatting, the other party suddenly veer off onto how big a fish she caught.

In the past, the old man here was both terrible at it and loved to play. He could talk for a whole day even if he caught a tiny fish fry, basically making communication impossible.

He had had enough of fishing enthusiasts too.

He stood to the side, waiting for the Prince to speak. The Prince held the fishing rod, waiting for him to speak.

The two of them remained deadlocked like this for half an hour.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Finally, the Prince couldn't hold back and asked.

"I thought you wanted to catch a fish first before talking."

Jiang Si replied casually.

He understood the mindset of fishing enthusiasts too well.

At a time like this, not having caught a single fish, she must be boiling with frustration inside.

This girl was also a proud and arrogant one. Most likely her competitive spirit kicked in, planning to catch a fish first before discussing serious matters with him.

Otherwise, her thoughts wouldn't be settled.

Speaking up at a time like this would mostly lead to inexplicable tantrums or the like.

Whether from an efficiency standpoint or for the friendliness of the conversation, waiting for the other party to catch a fish before talking was the most correct choice.

This was the judgment Jiang Si's super brain instantly made upon seeing her empty bucket.

Both reaction speed and mental agility were impeccable!

"I wasn't thinking that. I was waiting for you to speak first."

Stubborn, still stubborn.

Can't stand losing—that's how it is. Even if you're so wronged you're about to shed little pearls of tears, you absolutely cannot admit defeat verbally.

Jiang Si didn't plan to oppose her either, since he was here to cooperate.

"Waiting for me to say what?"

Jiang Si proactively started the topic. "You're the one who called me over. How would I know what you want to talk about?"

"You definitely know."

"I don't know."

"Think more carefully."

Jiang Si felt this Prince had probably gone crazy from not catching any fish.

The mental state of fishing enthusiasts was always pitiable. He started considering whether to leave first and talk next time.

Negotiating with a madman yielded no good results, and he didn't want to break off relations with her at this time either.

"Can't think of it. If you don't want to talk, then I'll leave first."

The Prince "smacked" the fishing rod down heavily. "You dare leave! If you dare leave, from now on we'll have nothing to do with each other!"

That won't do.

Jiang Si stopped.

This marriage contract hasn't been signed yet.

You're skipping the plot. Skipping the breaking off of the engagement in a web novel is like skipping life itself.

Can we rewind the progress bar a bit...

"Why are you mingling with people from the Azure Cloud Sect?"

After waiting for a long while and finding that Jiang Si really seemed clueless, the Prince finally couldn't help but speak up.

"You are my partner, my fiancé! You are also a member of the Witch Association. How can you get so close to the Azure Cloud Sect, and even let that vixen Shion stand above your head?"

"Oh." Jiang Si replied flatly. "We've always had a good relationship."

The Prince's beautiful pupils slightly contracted, and she took two steps back. "Aren't you rivals?"

"We are rivals, what about it?"

One could only say Prince Yannian's understanding was still too shallow.

Her concept of a rival was too simplistic.

Also enemy, also friend, rival—in web novels, they have always been the whetstone for the protagonist. Fight when it's time to fight, join forces when it's time to join forces. That's what a rival is!

"In Beihai, I couldn't do anything to them, and they couldn't do anything to me. So we occasionally had some exchanges. It's more like, also enemy, also friend."

"So it's normal to join forces when encountering trouble. After all, before we settle our score, priority is to eliminate other enemies."

You should know, in the past, the first person to make the name of my Saint Hall resound throughout the myriad realms—the top-tier fierce man Ancestor Wang Meng, who possessed the divine statue [Dragon's Roar Under the Sun and Moon], had a lifelong rival he fought with from small worlds all the way to the great world.

That rival even, at the critical moment when the Ancestor was ascending to the great world, intercepted the strongest demon god who was trying to destroy the Saint Hall, triggering the final battle early!

This is the ancestral method passed down in the Saint Hall. The Prince should study and understand it more. In the future, she might very well become one of my Saints of the Hall.

The Prince fell silent for a long time before saying, "Am I also someone to be prioritized for elimination?"

"You are my partner."

"No, you're being too improper." The Prince thought for a long time before finally saying solemnly, "You are the fiancé of the Prince of the Mirror Kingdom. How can you get so close to girls who are enemies? What will others think of me? I, and the Mirror Kingdom, cannot accept this. From now on, you must stay away from those suspicious girls!"

Then she saw Simo Tu reveal an expression of annoyance.

The Prince's pride prevented her from saying weak words, but she couldn't help feeling somewhat hurt. "Am I not enough for you?"

"It has nothing to do with that. It's just normal temporary cooperation."

"But it didn't look like normal temporary cooperation at all back then. You were so docile..."

She thought about it and ultimately didn't want to say anything too harsh, to avoid hurting Simo Tu's self-esteem. "You were overly docile."

"It was all just acting."

The Prince lightly stroked her chest, maintaining her dignity as a royal prince. "If you continue to cooperate with the Azure Cloud Sect like that, our marriage contract will be very difficult to continue. For the sake of the Mirror Kingdom, for the royal family..."

But then she saw Simo Tu casually pull out a document from his pocket.

"To be honest, from the beginning, our marriage contract was only a verbal agreement."

The words the Prince once said were now spoken by Simo Tu. "So, we need a definite contract for it to count, right? This is one I got from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Should count as an engagement contract?"

The Prince glanced at the words on the contract, then looked up at the masked youth. "You must separate from the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Sign or not?"

"You can only be my partner from the Mirror Kingdom. You are my Prince's fiancé..."

"So, do you want to sign or not?"

The Prince took a deep breath, maintaining her dignity. "As long as you swear not to have dealings with the Azure Cloud Sect..."

"Fine, if you won't sign, forget it."

Just as Jiang Si was about to throw away the engagement contract,

the Prince grabbed his hand.

Turning her head away, pouting, her tone muffled.

"I'll sign."
