Chapter 134 It's Time for a Change
Do you think I'm testing you?
Tan Zhixin casually brushed the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, then bent her legs and looked at Tang Zijun with a meaningful expression.
"Perhaps this is what I really think."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun couldn't help but chuckle.
In fact, he had already considered the feasibility of this matter. Indeed, with the heretical demons leading the way and with his own high-level combat power in charge, seizing the secret treasure of the Tree Crown Royal City would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Even if word gets out later, they can easily pin the blame on Sir Skeleton, since they weren't the ones who fired the first shot.
Just a tiny, slight tilt in your heart is enough.
"An innocent human stumbled into a secret realm, where heretical demons cruelly murdered their descendants, stole their diaries, and invaded the Canopy Royal City. A magical girl fought with all her might but was unable to resist, and was forced to barely reclaim the Heart of Life to prevent the Skeleton Lord from gaining even greater power."
Such rhetoric sounds so pleasant.
Others will thank us when they find out!
With a soft sigh, Tang Zijun slowly raised her head. "It's undeniable that I'm very interested in your suggestion, but the success of this matter is predicated on the extinction of a race."
If any one of the flower fairies survives, the truth of this matter risks being revealed to the public.
And is it really okay to let a race that has been passed down from the mythical era be inexplicably destroyed?
Seemingly noticing Tang Zijun's hesitation, Tan Zhixin straightened up slightly.
"Are you that close to them? What do their lives have to do with us? Although we are all living beings in the real world, we haven't seen them step forward to help us when we are in danger, so why should we risk our lives to help them?"
Tang Zijun did not answer immediately; he fell into deep thought.
This kind of thinking is not based on the perspective of an observer, but rather on truly considering the perspectives of different races.
For magical girls, or for humans, flower fairies are an extremely novel existence. They possess the power of life and magic that surpasses current technology.
This transcendence does not refer to offensive or destructive power, but rather to a kind of magic built upon the concepts of wisdom, cells, and life.
In this respect, no medical system can compare with them today. This magic, capable of rewriting life and even evolving life, has surpassed human society.
Tan Zhixin didn't speak either. She just smiled and waited for Tang Zijun's answer. Her face was neither sad nor happy, and she remained as indifferent as ever.
The silence didn't last long; Tang Zijun's voice rang out again in the bedroom. "Stop playing riddles, Mr. Qingnang."
"What you've said, what you've told me, is nothing but an excuse. These excuses might convince me, and they might convince yourself, but I want to know, what are you really up to?"
"I already said it from the beginning," Tan Zhixin said softly. "What I want to know is, what is your stance?"
Tang Zijun was slightly taken aback. "My stance."
Then Tan Zhixin chuckled and said, "Human nature is inherently flawed, you know? I don't care about the survival of the Tree Crown Royal City. In fact, I did have the idea of taking that power for myself just now. Although I can't guarantee it, if we can get the Heart of Life, perhaps we will have the key to touching the threshold of a Purple-level Magical Girl."
"A purple-level magical girl." Tang Zijun suddenly realized that although Mr. Qingnang's perspective was generally correct, there were still some differences in the details.
"Do you know how many purple-rank magical girls have appeared in the history of magical girls that I know of?" Tan Zhixin asked.
Without giving Tang Zijun a chance to answer, she gave her own answer.
Zero.
"You're surprised, aren't you? Magical girls have seven levels, and after the Rainbow Crystal Flower blooms, it should have borne its final fruit, but until now, no magical girl has been able to reach that level."
"In the eyes of magical girls, the purple rank has become a symbol of legend, a great power that only beings in mythology can display, a magic that is enough to change the world."
"And now, the beings from the mythological era are appearing vividly before us, and they also possess a kind of energy that we cannot understand. This in itself is a test of humanity."
"You're tempted, aren't you?" Tang Zijun frowned.
"Yes."
Tan Zhixin did not deny it.
"Once this idea popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore. No magical girl doesn't want to end all of this once and for all, and so do I. This is a great opportunity for us, but I don't have the courage to make this decision."
At this point, Tan Zhixin took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Therefore, I've chosen the simplest method—Mr. Wolf Rider, the decision is yours."
Tang Zijun raised her head and looked at Tan Zhixin.
"You were the first to notice this, and you brought the hyacinth with you. I absolutely support every decision you make. If you say kill, I'll do it myself. Consider this our pledge of loyalty to each other."
"However, if you decide to spare their lives, I can guarantee that I will not let any of the sisters I can contact have any unnecessary thoughts."
".how?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun slightly shifted her gaze, her eyes landing on the window screen that was swaying gently in the night breeze.
As expected, the ball eventually landed at his own feet. It seems that Mr. Qingnang had this intention from the very beginning. Human nature, oh human nature, it's truly something that's hard to describe in words.
Is it because he can't control this desire that he lets himself, as the person in a superior position, give orders?
This is really
Why is the world so complicated seven years later? Back then, all I had to do was kill a few monsters; I didn't need to think about making decisions. Now it's all so troublesome.
"Actually," Tang Zijun withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Tan Zhixin in front of her, "I'd really like to have a Thumbelina as a friend."
Tan Zhixin relaxed, and an invisible pressure vanished from her body without a trace.
True communication doesn't need to be so explicit; Tang Zijun's words already represented his answer.
"I will try to check on the Tree of Life. If there is still a possibility of healing from the roots, I will not stand idly by."
"Thank you for your trouble." Tang Zijun nodded gently.
"It's just my duty." Tan Zhixin stood up. "Let's not delay, I'll change my clothes, and we'll set off now."
Tang Zijun had no objections. The situation of the Tree of Life was still uncertain, and it was important to resolve the barrier issue as soon as possible. If the heretical demons destroyed the Tree Crown Royal City ahead of time, everything would be irreversible.
The latest novel is first published here!
However, her conversation with Tan Zhixin also served as a reminder to Tang Zijun that times had changed. As she came into contact with more wondrous beings, Tang Zijun could no longer act according to her old habits.
She is not alone now. The only remaining ones are Chang Lei, the greedy one; Tang Cao, who has just become a magical girl; Qin Nan, whom she first met; Mr. Qing Nang, the magical girl communicator; and Hyacinth, a special existence.
Unbeknownst to me, I am now standing at the very center of a massive vortex.
Any decision you make, whether good or bad, will cause a huge shock in this circle, and may even affect many people you don't know or have never met.
In this situation, I need to consider things more carefully than before.
At least, I can't be as 'selfish' as before.
"Mr. Wolf Rider?"
Tan Zhixin's voice brought Tang Zijun back to reality.
Looking up, he saw Mr. Qingnang staring at him with a strange expression.
"I need to change my clothes, you."
"Uh, sorry, sorry! I was just thinking about something." Tang Zijun jumped up instantly, turned around, and walked towards the door. "Um, I'll wait for you downstairs."
His face flushed slightly. Tang Zijun hadn't felt this embarrassed in a long time. Afraid that Mr. Qingnang would misunderstand, he quickened his pace and fled the bedroom as if escaping.
Looking at Tang Zijun's slightly disheveled appearance, Tan Zhixin covered her mouth and chuckled, casually unbuttoning her bathrobe, which immediately fell to the ground.
Her fair skin was exposed to the air, highlighting her beautiful figure and curves.
The only flaw is that on Tan Zhixin's back, a hideous scarlet scar stretches like a centipede from her shoulder to her waist. If you look closely, you can even feel the scar subtly moving.
After leaving Mr. Qingnang's bedroom, Tang Zijun let out a long sigh.
I can't imagine how long it's been since I felt this embarrassed. The last time was probably when I almost went into the wrong restroom in the mall.
God knows what those designers in the mall were thinking. What's wrong with normal male and female signs? Why did they have to design them so inexplicably? And they didn't even follow the rule of men on the left and women on the right, which made him almost go to the wrong place because he couldn't tell the difference.
Walking down the stairs step by step, Xiaoqing was chatting with Hyacinthus in the lobby on the first floor.
It's unclear what the little green snake was talking about with the hyacinth, but it made the hyacinth exclaim repeatedly. They were probably talking about magical girls, since they belonged to the same faction. Tang Zijun didn't pay much attention.
Hearing the noise, Xiaoqing and Hyacinth stopped talking and turned to look at the stairs.
"You've come down, Wolf Rider."
The hyacinth waved happily.
She didn't actually know Tang Zijun's real name; she just called her Wolf Rider because Chang Lei and Tan Zhixin both called her that.
Tang Zijun nodded slightly in response.
Just as he was about to speak, the scene before his eyes suddenly blurred.
Hyacinth and Xiaoqing's bodies seemed to be stretched out by something, the light and shadow of the table lamp became blurred at this moment, and the surrounding plants gradually became doubled.
The familiar scent of incense vanished abruptly, replaced by a pungent smell of blood.
In the blink of an eye, a biting wind swept through.
The flower shop's surroundings vanished without a trace, and Tang Zijun's gaze returned once more to the vast edge of the grassland.
