The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 546 Fox Brain Overload

The golden-haired fox girl stared at the sky, lost in a brief daze.

She recalled the past not long ago.

Su Tianqing felt that Sasha was actually quite easy to handle.

Unlike the initial Hua Ling, whose thoughts were erratic, or Lin Muyao, who was withdrawn at the beginning, her background should not be as heavy and profound as Aurora's.

She looks and talks like an ordinary girl, but with a little guidance, she's sure to be a promising magical girl.

But no matter how outstanding this prospect is, Bai Ling's statement, "I'll get her in three days!"... is quite amusing if taken as a joke.

Three or four days ago, after exchanging information with Chi Xue, Xin Yuehu finally realized the existence of Garuda and agreed to suspend her "friendly interactions" with Fengxinzi for the next four days in preparation for fighting against the astral behemoth.

The situation was actually quite tense – Cat had long heard that Chi Xue's close combat skills were no less than Mercury's, and immediately planned to drag Chi Xue to an open space for a fight, but the old senior shook his head and refused.

Hey young man, you have no sportsmanship! Do you understand the importance of harmony, respect for elders, and care for the young? Stop pushing me around, stop pushing me around!

"What...don't they say you're really good at fighting? Want to spar a bit?"

"Please don't! I'm just a well-rounded player, and I've been retired for many years. Who said I could beat Mercury in close combat? I need to go and have a word with her," Chi Xue said.

[Oh, that's what Bai Lili said] The cat turned around and betrayed someone.

She said your true form is tiny, and even after transforming, you're still tiny, and she also said...

I'll go see her myself after this is all sorted out.

As for Chi Xue being pestered by Rabbit Alice and her friend for autographs and photos, that's another story.

In short.

According to Chi Xue, after some discussion, the righteous people decided that Nightingale was the most suitable person to approach and protect Sasha.

She seemed to find this matter very difficult, so she turned to Dandelion (Su Tianqing) and, after much persuasion, finally managed to transfer this arduous task to the most suitable candidate.

As for how she actually seduce him...

"Sister Tianqing, save me! They want me to awkwardly chat with Sasha to get information! They want to know about Sasha's past!"

"I have absolutely no idea how to start this, waaaaaah—"

"Sister Tianqing, please save me! Waaaaaah!"

This includes, but is not limited to, crying and pleading on the phone, hugging my tail while grooming me and begging when we meet, and bringing me lots of grapes, even peeling them and stuffing them into my mouth.

Why does everyone think foxes love to eat grapes? Although I, the fox, certainly don't dislike this fruit.

Just then, I received a legendary mission to obtain information from Sasha, and I was worried about how to make contact with her legitimately, so Nightingale offered me the opportunity.

Hmm, as expected of the moderator I personally nurtured. I'll have Dandelion buy her a big bag of limited-edition merchandise another day.

.

Su Tianqing's thoughts returned to the present.

After working hard for three or four days, just when he thought he was finally about to pry information out of Sasha, she stunned him with a single sentence:

"Is there a pair of eyes watching you in the night sky?"

What is this guy saying? (jpg)

Seeing the golden fox so dazed that it even forgot to wag its tail, the winged girl felt a little awkward and gently flapped her wings a few times.

"Oh dear... Sister Dandelion, did I say something strange?"

"...It is indeed quite strange."

Su Tianqing didn't mince words and honestly expressed her true thoughts.

It's unbelievable, little sister! How could there possibly be a pair of eyes in the sky?

Unless it was Xia Youyou who was practicing invisibility magic but wasn't proficient yet, but that little brat was in Snow City, how could she possibly run to Rong City?

Sasha continued:

"Ever since I can remember, I have seen those eyes every time I look up at the starry sky at night."

"It has never changed, it has always been there, and I have always believed that this is what the starry sky truly looks like."

"But after I came across this..."

As she spoke, the girl reached into the handbag hanging beside her with her wingtip and pulled out a shiny gold cross star.

"...Guardian Star".

"Under its influence, I saw the countless stars in the astral plane, all in their proper places, but those eyes were nowhere to be seen."

At this point, Sasha unconsciously raised half of her wing, the wingtip pointing to the sky. A downy feather fell from her wing, like a person pointing a finger in a certain direction.

"Sister Dandelion, can you see it? Those eyes."

"I don't know why... ever since I came to Chengdu, I can feel it watching me even during the day."

Su Tianqing looked up and followed the direction that Sasha's wingtip was pointing.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, casting a gloomy shadow over Rongcheng. Even with his magical perception, he could only tell how thick the clouds were—thick enough to indicate that a heavy rain was bound to fall within two hours.

No matter how it looked at it, whether it opened its eyes wide, squinted, or even closed its eyes and looked with its tail, it couldn't see any "eyes".

Su Tianqing slowly shook her head.

"...I can't see what Sasha is talking about. Can you describe what it looks like?"

"Ugh..."

After pondering for a while with her head down and carefully organizing her thoughts, Sasha mustered her courage and spoke out the secret that had been buried deep in her heart.

The strange starry sky in her eyes, the unfamiliar starry sky description that made Su Tianqing feel eerish, was spoken from her mouth as if it were a cathartic outpouring.

.

In Sasha's eyes, the starry sky is not just about twinkling stars.

From as far back as she can remember, every time she looked up at the sky at night, she would always see the same thing:

A pair of eyes that shone like molten gold.

It showed no emotion, no expression, just a pair of eyes hanging in the sky, silently watching the vast earth beneath the heavens.

Sasha felt that the starry sky should look like this.

There should be a pair of eyes hanging in the sky, eyes watching over me. Because I see them, and I see them every day.

When she told her parents and friends about it, they couldn't offer any answers.

Because they can't see anything at night, they have difficulty even seeing the moonlight, let alone the faint starlight.

And so, without anyone correcting her, she spent 1X years with those eyes in the starry sky.

Until the stargazer gave her a guardian star, until someone guided her to look up at the sky again, until someone told her—that there are only stars and the moon in the night sky, just as the guardian star suggests.

So, Sasha had her first question about it:

What exactly are those eyes?

.

Ten minutes later.

When Dandelion relayed Sasha's words to Chixue in full through the Divine Stone Communication, the latter fell into a two-minute silence.

"...Have you ever heard of prisoners in caves?"

Coming back to her senses from the silence, Chi Xue spoke on the other end of the communicator.

"A group of prisoners, chained up in dark caves since childhood, could only see the shadows of objects reflected by the campfire behind them. So they would think that these shadows were the whole world."

"That's just how Sasha is; she's found herself in this situation."

"Garuda didn't appear a month ago; it has been watching Sasha since she was born. It has been watching her like this for over 1 years."

"Sasa herself has gotten used to its gaze, and even thinks it's normal for there to be such a pair of eyes in the starry sky."

Upon hearing this, Su Tianqing felt a chill run down her spine.

If that's the case... if I hadn't intentionally had Bai Ling give her the Guardian Star, and if I hadn't had Yue Tianxin guide her to feel the power of the Guardian Star and the determination to protect it, she might still be in the dark.

"So... what do we do next?" Su Tianqing asked tentatively.

Chi Xue remained silent for a long time before speaking:

"I'll leave Sasha to you for now. Try to keep her calm and don't let her sense anything unusual."

"We probably can't handle this by ourselves... I need to find some help. Really capable help."

"Who?"

Su Tianqing subconsciously pressed for an answer.

"Aquamarine, Autumn Osmanthus, White Lily, Wheat Ear—everyone I know."
