Chapter 182 The Metamorphosis of the Wheat Ear
Hua Ling finally understood who the "mysterious friend" that Tian Qing was talking about really was.
It was this wealthy young lady stepping out of her luxury car! And he even knew her.
—Li Kexin, the true form of the magical girl Mai Sui, and my senior.
I never expected that she would be Sister Tianqing's mysterious friend!
"Ko-Koko-senpai?" Karin said in surprise.
"Yes, it's me. Good morning, Hua Ling," Li Kexin said with a smile.
Hua Ling couldn't figure out how Tian Qing got involved with this senior, and she was even discussing with Xiao Feng how to rescue Mai Sui until this morning.
But she's already been rescued. Was it Sister Tianqing who did it?
Speaking of which, I did receive a magical message from Sister Tianqing as the magical girl Dandelion through the Divine Stone yesterday, but because I'm not very familiar with using the Divine Stone, I didn't pay attention. I never expected it to be...
Hua Ling was suddenly filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tianqing, for keeping you both waiting," Li Kexin said politely, interrupting Hua Ling's thoughts.
"It's okay, I just arrived too~"
The golden fox smiled and returned the greeting.
"And there's no need to be so polite, just call me Tianqing, aren't we friends?"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, friends don't need all those fancy honorifics. That's what good friends are all about."
Fox's face still wore that bright and dazzling smile.
...
"so……"
Later that evening, in a dessert shop in the mall, Hua Ling was pinching her chin, deep in thought.
"Sister Tianqing, you infiltrated Xinyuehu's sub-plane yesterday and rescued Senior Kexin, and then the two of you became friends?"
"That's right." Su Tianqing readily admitted, taking a bite of the banana split in front of her.
Li Kexin nodded and took small bites of the dessert cake beside her.
The three were still surrounded by a barrier that obscured their perception, so those around them would only think they were having a casual chat.
But people's eyes still kept glancing at Li Kexin, marveling at the rich young lady's gorgeous attire, and naturally noticing the fluffy golden fox at the same time.
It even made Karin, a quiet and literary girl, seem less noticeable.
"How did you manage to do that, Sister Qing? Hyacinth and I tried so many times but couldn't find the way in," Hua Ling pressed.
"I was in the Mind World of Heart Moon Fox before, and I know that she would leave a back door for entry and exit in this kind of sub-plane, so I was able to sneak in smoothly."
Su Tianqing had already prepared a logically consistent explanation, and she explained with a smile.
I, the fox, always consider everything carefully before I act! Besides, the "dandelion rescuing the wheat ear" incident is also part of my plan!
As Hua Ling suddenly realized what was happening, Su Tianqing's attention returned to Li Kexin.
My goal today is very clear: to find more clues about the red rose from Li Kexin.
It's also important to examine her current psychological state, to understand whether she's experiencing post-traumatic dependence or a transference reaction, which will help with my subsequent planning.
As for why we invited Karin along... it's obviously to find even more fun!
This person in front of you is Karin's senior, you know. By tying this senior up in front of you, isn't this just creating the perfect environment for you two?
You two need to become a couple right now! Immediately, right now!
"Kexin, do you usually dress this luxuriously?" Su Tianqing asked while Hualing was still trying to understand her method.
"Um... since this is my first time going out with friends... I felt I should dress more formally, so..."
The girl spoke nervously, sounding very flustered.
"Am I acting strangely? Shall I have the butler bring over a new set of clothes?"
"It's not so much strange as it is... it just feels like I'm detached from the mortal world. Hmm," Su Tianqing nodded and said.
"It's so luxurious and beautiful that it makes you look like you're going to a banquet rather than going out with friends."
"But... um..."
Li Kexin looked thoughtfully at her own attire, then at Su Tianqing and the other person, tilting her head as if she couldn't understand at all.
As expected, things were almost exactly as she had imagined; she was indeed a rich young lady who completely lacked common sense. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Look at her outfit! That bracelet alone could probably buy all her clothes! No wonder her friends are terrified if she goes out dressed like that!
Look at Hua Ling, she's your direct junior, and even the way she looks at you is strange, which speaks volumes.
Perhaps in Li Kexin's mind, "luxurious attire" is the best way to express respect.
"If you dress too extravagantly, it will create too much of a sense of oppression and make people keep their distance from you."
Su Tianqing said bluntly,
"If your friends feel pressured by you, they will be wary of you, or even distance themselves from you."
"I see...?" Li Kexin muttered to herself, as if she had understood something from Su Tianqing's words.
Is this why all my attempts to make friends have failed?
"So, Karin-chan!"
The sudden roll call caught Hua Ling off guard, causing her to tremble and almost drop her glasses onto the table.
"Huh?!...What, what's wrong?"
"I have a favor to ask you today: pick out an outfit suitable for Kexin for everyday outings, what do you think?"
Su Tianqing considers herself to be the kind of person who will immediately act on a plan once she has one.
Hana Rin was also very interested in this sudden mission and immediately started strolling around the mall.
The three of them strolled from the clothing section to the accessories section. Li Kexin's clothes and accessories also changed from the initial glamorous and luxurious style to something more ordinary, appearing more down-to-earth.
A simple knee-length dress, paired with a warm winter coat, with the socks and shoes still on, and the rather sophisticated precious metal bracelet on the wrist replaced by an ordinary floral rope.
"Perfect!"
Su Tianqing looked Li Kexin up and down and gave Hua Ling a thumbs up.
"Hualing's taste is really good! Just a few simple changes of clothes and Kexin's temperament is completely transformed!"
"I'm quite confident about this," Karin said proudly.
Li Kexin looked anxiously at herself in the full-length mirror.
Although she lacked the carefully chosen poise and elegance she usually exuded when going out, she appeared more refined and approachable.
She even possessed the air of a literary young woman.
"I'll wear this for today, and leave the clothes I take off at the mall. I can pick them up when I go back later."
Su Tianqing nodded in satisfaction.
"Then let's start with the basics!"
"Do you like magical girl merchandise, little sister?"
