Chapter 89: Come to My House Tonight
“Rosemary, I gave you face, didn’t I! How many times have you thrown obstacles in my way!”
The Butterfly Girl, forced back by the purple energy cannon, glared at the purple girl floating in mid-air, the anger boiling over at last.
It had been a month since their last conversation in the café, and during this month, everyone’s lives seemed to return to a normal rhythm. The only difference was that every time Luo Shuangyue went to find the Sealing Cards, Xia Mo would closely follow her like a shadow.
If it were just that, it wouldn’t have been a problem; Luo Shuangyue could have treated Xia Mo as a pesky little bug that wouldn’t interfere with her important business. But Xia Mo was not just that!
Once the Sealing Cards truly appeared, Xia Mo would swoop in and snatch the card from Luo Shuangyue.
After breaking through to the Initial Bloom level, the odds of Xia Mo beating Luo Shuangyue were no longer the easy ten to zero. As she grew more familiar with her new weapon, her chances against Luo Shuangyue were edging closer to thirty-seven to sixty-three.
In terms of pure offensive power, Xia Mo was even slightly stronger than Luo Shuangyue. Her weapon resembled floating cannons shaped like wings, which clearly were not meant for close combat but focused on long-range fire suppression.
What was most troublesome was that Xia Mo was also undergoing targeted special training from Luo Shuangyue, and in just a month, her combat power had risen to another level.
Luo Shuangyue had come to understand what it felt like to have a big brawl on her hands.
“Butterfly, that statement of yours doesn’t hold water. If you truly want the Sealing Cards, why not just come to my house and find me? I’m the only one home, you know.” Xia Mo smiled at Luo Shuangyue.
“Who wants to go to your house! You can crawl away!”
The two magical girls were shouting at each other in the sky, while members of the Evil Organization pushing a large safe on the ground felt dumbfounded. It was one thing for the Dark Butterfly to eat black, but why was Rosemary also here?
Black eating black?
Well, since the two were fighting in the sky, could they…
Just as they thought to take the chance to make off with their goods, a flurry of black-purple blades and a purple energy cannon struck the ground in front of them almost simultaneously.
Looking up, the two who had just been hurling insults at each other now directed their cold, indifferent gazes toward them.
Great, they were arguing, but their main focus was still on us…
A cautious member of the Evil Organization whispered to their leader, “Boss, shouldn’t we just leave the stuff here and run?”
The targets of the Dark Butterfly and Rosemary were clear: they wanted the Sealing Cards in their hands. So, why not just drop the cards here and let the two fight it out?
After all, a card wasn’t as important as their lives.
“Ugh, disgusting Dark Butterfly, disgusting Rosemary!” The organization’s leader angrily slammed the safe he was holding onto the ground and ran toward the open door with his subordinates.
“You two take it; I’m done!”
“They’re running away, and you’re just going to let them?” Luo Shuangyue coldly asked, gripping her scythe tightly.
Xia Mo smirked noncommittally, “Do you think they can escape?”
She had already been in a standoff here with Luo Shuangyue for several minutes, and their magical power was quite clear; how could the Magic Department not notice the disturbance here?
Calculating the time, Luo Shuangxing and Xiaomimi were probably already waiting outside the warehouse, ready for their prey to come rushing in.
As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, shouts erupted from outside, the voices of those who had just run out.
“There’s an ambush! Everyone, hurry… ah!”
“How come there are more magical girls!”
“I’m bleeding everywhere!”
The chaotic sounds quickly stopped, and half a minute later, the transformed Luo Shuangxing and Siam walked into the warehouse.
Luo Shuangxing looked up at her two familiar acquaintances, exclaiming in exasperation, “You two have done this three times in the past month already; can you please take it down a notch?”
The first time, Xia Mo, still not fully in control of her power, was directly confronted by Luo Shuangyue, who snatched the Sealing Cards.
The second time, Xia Mo held off Luo Shuangyue while Luo Shuangxing and Siam fought Jiuye and Black Dragonfly, successfully securing the Sealing Cards.
And this time, Luo Shuangyue couldn’t even be bothered to bring Black Dragonfly and Jiuye with her.
She wanted to pull a lightning strike, but it ended up failing, and she got caught by Xia Mo instead.
“Rosemary, you don’t even know how to use the Sealing Cards; what’s the point of you having them?” Luo Shuangyue sighed in frustration. It had never been that difficult for her to manage the Sealing Cards before.
Now, it was painfully clear that she wouldn’t be able to get even a single card; what was she to do?
The other members of Polar Night weren’t helpful; she alone could only hold off Xia Mo for so long, and the outcome would not be determined in a short time. Meanwhile, the others from Polar Night would be overwhelmed by Luo Shuangxing and Xiaomimi after just a few moves.
It wasn’t entirely fair to blame Polar Night; if it weren’t for Luo Shuangyue’s training for the magical girls, Luo Shuangxing and Siam wouldn’t be nearly as strong as they were compared to Polar Night.
Luo Shuangyue hadn’t just cultivated one powerful ally, but three!
Especially Luo Shuangxing, whose rate of improvement was truly terrifying. In just over a month, she had already matched Xia Mo’s previous strength. This was what it meant to be a natural magical girl!
“Then you tell me how to use it! I’m not unwilling to cooperate; it’s you who isn’t willing!” Xia Mo said, hands on her hips, looking innocently at her.
How could this be placed on her? She trusted Luo Shuangyue but didn’t trust Polar Night. Was that the problem?
Luo Shuangyue came to her with the method for using the Sealing Cards; she was not unwilling to share the cards with Luo Shuangyue, but Luo Shuangyue didn’t want to cooperate and would rather fight her for them.
Was she really that untrustworthy? Xia Mo thought viciously in her heart.
“You…” Luo Shuangyue was also left speechless by the retort.
The main issue was that she didn’t know how to use the cards either!
Polar Night collected the cards not only to prevent them from falling into the hands of other villains but also because Monise’s research needed this magical energy.
And now the cards Luo Shuangyue had taken back were basically locked in the safe by Monise, making it seem like there was little difference whether they had been taken by Xia Mo or not.
“Senior, we got the cards!” While the two were talking, Xiaomimi had already picked up the Sealing Cards that the previous group had discarded.
Seeing this, Luo Shuangyue shot an annoyed glare at Xia Mo and turned to leave the scene.
She definitely couldn’t get that card now; why linger here and freeze in the cold wind?
“Oh right, Dark Butterfly, come to my house tonight; I have something to tell you.” Seeing Luo Shuangyue preparing to leave, Xia Mo hurriedly spoke up.
She still had important matters to discuss with Luo Shuangyue.
