After Ye Xinglan said that, Xiao Keke finally realized she had never really thought about this issue before.
Logically, her sister had no reason to hate Eternal Star so much.
By Sister Xinglan’s reasoning, it did make sense. Still, there was no need for her sister to act in such an annoying way…
Having her little thoughts exposed so directly made Xiaoxi feel a bit embarrassed. However, Ye Xinglan had not said everything.
At the time, Xiaoxi also had a selfish reason—she simply did not want Keke to like Eternal Star so much.
The idea of her own little sister admiring her like that was honestly awkward.
Even so, most of Xiao Keke’s anger faded. But then she suddenly realized something else—if her sister was Sirius, then Sister Xinglan must be… the Blood Moon Witch?
Facing Xiao Keke’s shocked and confused gaze, Ye Xinglan openly admitted her identity.
A tentacle reached out, first greeting Xiao Keke, then wrapping itself around Xiaoxi’s waist.
Xiao Keke’s eyes widened. She could barely process it. It was already surprising enough that her sister was a Magic Girl, but her sister’s partner was actually the Blood Moon Witch?!
She had always thought that being a Magic Girl made her identity special in the family.
But now it seemed everyone else was even more extraordinary… Maybe only their mom, the housewife, was more ordinary than her.
She had also always imagined the Blood Moon Witch as fierce and violent.
In the past, she would have thought dating someone like that was risky.
But thinking about it carefully, Sister Xinglan was not like that at all.
“So Sister Xinglan actually likes someone like you…”
Xiao Keke looked at her sister with a complicated expression.
Xiaoxi was just trying to stop the tentacles from touching her randomly, but in Xiao Keke’s eyes, it looked no different from flirting.
It was not that she thought her sister was unworthy.
She just never expected to witness a Blood Moon Witch dating a Magic Girl… Could her sister really be that charming?
“Of course I like her. Our Xiaoxi is so cute. As for the ‘Magic Girl’ part, I can just tolerate that little flaw.”
“Why is being a Magic Girl a flaw?!”
“Well, it is not entirely a flaw. After all, tasting a Magic Girl has its own unique appeal…”
“Do not say weird things like that in front of Keke!”
Ye Xinglan pounced from behind and hugged Xiaoxi, who was still sitting upright.
Since Ye Xinglan was taller, Xiaoxi’s head ended up pressed between something soft, squished into a funny shape.
Seeing her sister wrapped up by arms and wriggling tentacles, Xiao Keke suddenly had the strange feeling that her sister might be completely devoured by the Blood Moon Witch.
Dating her really did seem risky!
And that comment about Magic Girls having a “special flavor”… Xiao Keke felt like her worldview was collapsing.
She could not imagine the upright and reliable image of Sirius being treated like that.
At this point, Xiaoxi originally wanted Xiao Keke to stay for dinner, but she refused with a complicated expression.
Her reason was that she still had not fully processed the fact that her sister was Sirius, so she did not want to interact with her for now.
After Xiao Keke left, Ye Xinglan shamelessly clung to Xiaoxi again.
“Now that everything is settled, can we continue? Since we already got this far, how about finishing the rest while transformed into a Magic Girl…”
“Continue your head!”
Xiaoxi pushed away the tentacles and pointed at the bag of fruit by the door.
“Who said we are done? And did you forget the Astrologer told us to find a way to approach the Silverflame Dragon Princess? This is a perfect opportunity!”
Half an hour later, Xiaoxi held the bag of fruit, maintaining a gentle and friendly smile as she knocked on Silver Bell’s door.
She knocked three times. After three minutes, the door finally opened a crack, revealing a timid eye.
Xiaoxi could easily imagine the intense internal struggle Silver Bell went through before opening the door.
“It looks like you accidentally dropped this at our door. Here, I am returning it.”
“Ah, um… that was actually for you. Th-thank you for helping me today! And just now, I… I did not eavesdrop on your argument…”
“Haha, that was just me and my sister messing around. We were not arguing. Really. You believe me, right?”
Xiaoxi smiled kindly and patted Silver Bell’s shoulder. The latter nodded quickly.
“We did not really help much, yet you still brought fruit. That is too kind.”
“It is nothing, really! If there is nothing else, I will just go back—”
“How about this? Since we are neighbors, would you like to come over for dinner? I have already prepared everything.”
Silver Bell froze on the spot, panicking internally.
This is all your fault, Chestnut! Your terrible idea is going to get me killed!
“I… I will clean up and come over.”
After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly agreed and closed the door. Ye Xinglan poked her head out from next door, looking curious.
“She actually agreed? I thought she would not want to eat with a Blood Moon Witch like me.”
“My method never fails.”
Xiaoxi smiled proudly. She knew Silver Bell very well. The girl’s biggest weakness was that she could not refuse others.
As long as Xiaoxi said “I already prepared everything,” she would definitely agree meekly.
“So how should I get closer to the Silverflame Dragon Princess later? She looks timid, but I feel like she would not like me.”
“It is fine. Just talk about your hobbies and the games you like to play. That will definitely work.”
Xiaoxi was full of confidence. She was sure she could build a good relationship with Silver Bell.
Honestly speaking, she used to be the one closest to her in the team.
As for why… she was a hardcore two-dimensional fan. Someone like Muxingge only counted as half.
Someone that glamorous did not qualify as a true shut-in. And shut-ins naturally attract each other.
“Would the Silverflame Dragon Princess even like something as ordinary as playing games?”
Ye Xinglan still pictured her as that emotionless powerhouse from battle.
“Just trust me. Talking like that will definitely work!”
“…Alright. But why do you seem so familiar with her, Xiaoxi? Is not she supposed to be a Magic Girl hiding her identity?”
Xiaoxi’s proud smile instantly froze. She had gotten carried away and revealed too much.
Acting this familiar with the Silverflame Dragon Princess would definitely raise suspicion.
