Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 96, The Young Lady

Cheng Chen narrowed his eyes, looking the magical girl in front of him up and down, who was radiating a dazzling golden light.

In the lobby, the staff of Yinfu Entertainment peered out, exchanging bewildered glances. As the company in all of Yincheng that knew most about magical girls, not a single person recognized the suddenly appearing golden magical girl.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Chen slowly spoke, "Do we know each other?"

"I don't know him at all!"

The golden-haired magical girl readily shook her head, generously extending a hand and raising her chin to announce, "This is our first meeting. You can call me 'Radiant.' Remember this name; in the near future, I will be the most popular magical girl in Yin City, without a doubt!"

Seeing that she showed no intention of shaking hands, she wasn't embarrassed. After glancing around, she put her hands on her hips and said, "I heard there's someone here named 'Songlan'? Call her out so I can meet her!"

"elder brother!"

At this moment, Cang Qing strode out of the lounge, walked straight past Yao Guang, and quickly stood close to Cheng Chen.

Yao Guang glanced at her sideways, his gaze sweeping over her with a critical look, and finally let out a disdainful click of his tongue: "You're Song Lan? Tsk, you look pretty ordinary. Another one who's all hype and no substance."

Cang Qing completely ignored her, his eyes only on Cheng Chen, and grabbed his arm:

"Are you hurt anywhere? Your clothes are all dirty."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently patted the dust off his sleeves.

A golden light suddenly appeared behind them without warning.

A golden spear formed from pure light instantly fell into Yaoguang's palm and fiercely stabbed towards Cangqing's back.

Ding!

Cang Qing drew his sword, and the wind exploded in an instant.

The spear tip and the sword blade met, a fierce clash between dazzling gold and sharp cyan, sending shockwaves sweeping outwards.

Instead of being annoyed, Yao Guang's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation as he licked his lips as if eyeing his prey.

The spear twirled in her hand, its momentum surging forth like a raging torrent.

The spear tip moved with lightning speed, flashing with dazzling light as it thrust out repeatedly. Cang Qing leaped backward with a light touch of his toes, his rapier forming a continuous blue ribbon, keeping pace with the speed of the flashing light. The clanging sounds of sword and spear clashing were incessant.

"Not bad!"

Yao Guang laughed wildly, and the golden spear came to life in her hand. Layers of spear shadows intertwined, weaving a cage of light.

The golden light that followed grew increasingly intense, and the high temperature even began to melt the surrounding walls and ceiling.

Cang Qing was forced to continue retreating.

The cyan magic stirred up a wind that swirled around her, supporting her as she dodged and parried, leaving no openings.

A golden spear swept across, and the azure sword blocked it, but she was sent flying by the unreasonable force. After tumbling several times in mid-air, she used the wall for leverage to fly up again, her rapier suddenly flying out of her hand, dancing wildly like a green snake in a counterattack, aimed straight at her opponent's chest.

The rapier only struck a fleeting afterimage formed by light; by the time she reacted, the next spear was already piercing her eyes.

Ding.

The sword swirled from afar, barely managing to block the attack in his hand, but he was overwhelmed by the relentless barrage of spear shadows.

Yaoguang's laughter echoed freely.

Her attacks grew increasingly fierce, the golden light of her spear intensifying with each strike, faster and heavier than the last. Cang Qing was forced back, his rapier parrying becoming increasingly strained, and he was driven into a predicament where he could no longer dodge.

Gunfire filled the sky, its light blinding.

The spear was aimed straight at Cang Qing's face, but the latter raised his sword to meet it, only to miss.

Another magical illusion!

"You fell for the same trick twice. Looks like you're nothing special after all." Yaoguang's mocking voice rang in Cangqing's ears.

Cang Qing was startled, and then the golden spear was grasped by a hand.

Cheng Chen remained calm; the intense heat, enough to melt walls, had no effect on him, and the spear remained motionless in his hand.

He slightly raised his eyes and said calmly, "Let's end it here."

Yao Guang grinned, not only not stopping, but suddenly using his spear as a fulcrum, he leaped into the air like a pole vaulter. His long right leg transformed into a powerful whip kick, aimed straight at Cheng Chen's head.

"Brother!" Cang Qing exclaimed.

boom!

A series of dust plumes, like dazzling cannonballs, smashed through several walls and landed on the lawn in front of the Yinfu Entertainment Building, with mud droplets falling like rain.

Just then, a black long van drove by the lawn and stopped in front of her.

The car door opened, and a man in a dark, well-tailored suit stepped out. His hair was gray, his face was wrinkled but he was energetic, and he was impeccably dressed, standing ramrod straight.

"Miss."

The man merely bowed his head slightly, offering no help. Yaoguang, somewhat disheveled, threw off the mud covering him, clutching his back as he scrambled to his feet, grimacing, "Ah! Ah! This is no fun."

Inside the hall, Cheng Chen blew on his fist and looked through the series of huge holes that Yao Guang had just smashed through, looking towards the lawn, his gaze meeting the man's directly.

"Hello Mr. Cheng Chen, I am Qiao Jie, the new CEO of Xianmeng Group."

A group of business elites got out of the car and rushed into the lobby of Yinfu Entertainment. There, he took the initiative to introduce himself to Cheng Chen.

"Your company did not mention that you would be visiting today."

Cheng Chen sent a message to Cong Cong to arrange a meeting room, while reaching out his hand from the ruins of the lobby and shaking hands with him.

Qiao Jie showed no embarrassment at the mess around him, nor did he say anything about taking responsibility. He simply smiled calmly and said, "As the successor, I only focus on the most important matters. As a young person valued by the Demoness, I believe that coming to see you is more important than any other job."

"Oh?"

Cheng Chen remained noncommittal, asking, "What brings you to see me?"

"This is to convey Lady Demoness's formal invitation." Qiao Jie took off his gloves, took an exquisitely crafted box from his subordinate, and opened it. "Lady Demoness invites you to dinner at the 'Mysterious Kingdom' tomorrow evening at 8 PM."

At the bottom of the box lay a uniquely shaped music box.

The base is round, with a red-eyed rabbit on it and a wind-up key embedded in its back.

Cheng Chen immediately recognized it as an extremely rare spatial magical artifact. Simply turning the knob would activate the intricate and complex magical engravings on the gears inside the music box, enabling teleportation.

As for the destination of the teleportation, it was obviously the "Unbelievable Country" that Qiao Jie mentioned.

After a moment's thought, Cheng Chen accepted the box: "It's an honor."

"Hey! Don't be late! Remember to come alone!"

Behind Qiao Jie, Yao Guang, covered in soot, remained arrogant, flashing two small tiger teeth at him and laughing excitedly.

Cheng Chen glanced at her and asked Qiao Jie, "Who is she?"

"I forgot to introduce him to Mr. Cheng Chen."

Qiao Jie responded respectfully and formally with a professional smile, "Miss Yaoguang is the daughter of Lady Demoness and has been living overseas. Due to this job change, she had to come back to Yincheng with me so early."

Following his words, Cheng Chen subconsciously looked towards Yao Guang.

The latter grinned smugly, licking its tongue like a defiant little animal.
