After all, he wasn’t truly a little girl.
There were always some inexplicable thoughts drifting in Jiang Yin’s mind, gradually spreading.
Ning Rong watched from the rearview mirror, her eyes drifting to the girl resting her chin on one hand, her long white hair cascading like a waterfall.
Her beautiful brows were lowered, and a trace of melancholy lingered in those deep purple eyes—a stunning girl who made people want to hold her close and protect her.
Ning Rong shook her head sharply.
‘What are you thinking? He’s a man!’
But she really was beautiful.
If she dressed up properly and put on a gorgeous princess dress, would she look even better?
Once the thought appeared, it refused to leave.
Fortunately, just as Ning Rong couldn’t resist and her wicked hands were about to reach for the girl, the car arrived.
Yes, the Magical Girl Administration Bureau was never a secret department in Huaxia.
It sat two streets over from the city government, in an old-fashioned alley paved with bluestone.
The area was full of elderly residents, strolling or playing chess, enjoying a leisurely life.
“Wouldn’t this expose the identities of Magical Girls?”
Jiang Yin felt this seemed a bit unsafe, sneaking out of the car, not daring to meet anyone’s eyes.
That white hair was just too eye-catching.
The aunties were already chatting about it.
“Actually, it doesn’t.”
Ning Rong shrugged.
“Rather, if some weirdo could sneak into this street, that would only prove their skill.”
“Because this is the area with the strongest monster monitoring?”
“No, because all these elders are Retired Magical Girls and Elite Scouts… That old lady in the red dress once fought alone for three hours during a first-level monster disaster to protect civilians, earning a First-Class Merit.”
“She’s taken down more monsters than you’ve seen on TV. That grandpa playing chess was a scout during the rotation battles, earning a Second-Class Merit, and even took out an Eagle Sauce.”
Jiang Yin: “….”
That’s a seriously strong defense.
Who could get close to the Bureau’s gate with all these elders around?
The girl felt emboldened, the instincts of a Northeasterner stirring.
She greeted the elders boldly.
“Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, I’m Jiang Yin!”
“Good, good, good, what a good child.”
The old lady in the red dress smiled so much her eyes turned into slits, radiating kindness.
“Little Ning, hurry and bring the child inside. Today, let’s keep a closer watch here.”
“I’ll go call all my old sisters out for a stroll.”
“Thank you, Aunt Wen.”
Ning Rong thanked her casually, as if they were very familiar, then pulled Jiang Yin toward the Bureau.
Upon entering, Jiang Yin didn’t sense anything unusual.
The layout looked exactly like an ordinary city police station—reception desk, small cubicles, workrooms, and a cafeteria.
Until Ning Rong led her into the elevator.
Wait, why does a two-story building have an elevator?
The question had just popped into her mind when she saw Ning Rong swipe a card, then pass an iris scan.
The entire elevator instantly dropped like free fall…
No, even worse than free fall—it felt like being catapulted, with the overload surging to several Gs!
The intense acceleration made Jiang Yin’s feet leave the ground in an instant!
“Microgravity Electromagnetic Catapult Elevator. It’s fast. Once you get used to it, it’s actually pretty awesome.”
“Are… all Magical Girls monsters?”
For a moment, blood rushed to her head, nearly making her black out.
She swayed, clutching her head, her voice weak.
“This elevator can’t possibly be for ordinary people, right? And I remember microgravity elevators are supposed to be cutting-edge lab tech—there aren’t even a handful in the whole country…”
“You know about that?”
Ning Rong raised an eyebrow, guiding her—still a bit dizzy—out of the elevator.
A long metallic tunnel stretched ahead.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty space, the sound heavy.
“Thirty-year-old men tend to be interested in these things… So? What’s the explanation?”
“In terms of technology, the country has only just developed the capability to create microgravity environments in labs, but this is magic.”
“So it ignores physics, huh?”
Jiang Yin rolled her eyes.
There was no way to continue this conversation.
On the internet these days, people loved to debate whether a Magical Girl’s magic could accelerate technological development.
The final answer was yes, but not as much as people imagined.
Just like Jiang Yin said, magic ignores physics.
Even if magic simulates a zero-gravity environment, the data obtained from experiments would still have subtle differences from the real physical world.
Better to build the technology tree honestly.
However, magic was very useful in processing and altering physical materials.
Used properly, it could produce parts with precision far beyond modern machinery and create super materials enhanced by magic.
So, it wasn’t useless either.
Actually, it was extremely useful, but due to material and energy limitations, those things remained laboratory tech and hadn’t been widely adopted yet.
After all, Magical Girls couldn’t be mass-produced.
If a technology relied on magic, and the Magical Girl died, wouldn’t it instantly become obsolete?
“That’s about right. Let’s go do a physical exam.”
“Your situation is a bit special. The Bureau has arranged a lot of tests for you, so be mentally prepared.”
After walking through the long tunnel, a vast open area appeared before Jiang Yin.
“This is the training ground, used for Magical Girls’ daily practice. Over there is the Dormitory Area. Each Magical Girl gets assigned a room—it’s up to you whether to live there or not.”
“That’s the Medical Room. The Bureau’s medical Magical Girls are quite skilled. Over there is the Office Area, which handles a lot of confidential matters. If you want to apply for a logistics post, someone will show you around.”
“There are other buildings you won’t need for now. You can get familiar with them later. For now, let’s head to the Medical Room.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yin didn’t resist and obediently followed Ning Rong into the Medical Room.
She watched as Ning Rong knocked on the door…
No response.
Ning Rong checked the time.
Her expression instantly darkened.
The pressure around her dropped sharply, so intense that Jiang Yin didn’t dare make a sound.
She silently shuffled two steps away, putting distance between them.
“Boom—!”
Ning Rong planted her feet, focused, and punched.
After becoming a Magical Girl, her eyesight had fully recovered and her dynamic vision was even sharper.
Jiang Yin clearly saw a semi-transparent, fiery red suit of armor flash across Ning Rong’s arm the moment her fist struck the metal door.
The next instant, the heavy metal door was blasted more than three meters away, embedding itself in the wall.
Ning Rong stormed in, yanked open the curtain, and glared at the voluptuous, golden-haired, possibly mixed-blood beauty lying on the hospital bed.
One hand was down her pants, the other on her chest, her cheeks flushed.
Her expression looked as if she’d just been caught doing something indecent.
“Si Beili, I remember I scheduled a Magical Girl examination with you at this time!”
“Ah~ it’s Rong Rong~”
The golden-haired beauty lounged lazily on the bed, her voice sultry and boneless.
Her right hand casually slipped out from her pants, her fingertips still glistening with a thread of crystalline liquid.
Jiang Yin blushed from her face all the way to her ears.
A thirty-year-old man certainly wasn’t unfamiliar with lewd things, but for a thirty-year-old archmage to suddenly witness such an erotic scene in real life—
Jiang Yin screamed inwardly, ‘See no evil!’
She hurriedly covered her eyes with both hands.
“Baby, you could fit a phantom dragon between those fingers.”
Jiang Yin: “….”
——This golden-haired beauty talks so aggressively!
