Chapter 249: I Want to Go Together Too, Meow?

Ye Xinglan was in high spirits, rambling for several minutes about various ways to take revenge on and torture Eternal Star.

Many of her schemes were sinister and malicious.

For instance, her previous idea of first doxing Eternal Star and then exposing the fact that she had forced a kiss on her — a move that wounded eight hundred enemies while losing one thousand of one’s own — was clearly something she had been brooding over for a long time.

Xiaoxi, however, found it a bit hard to keep a straight face. If Ye Xinglan actually managed to dox Eternal Star, she probably wouldn’t be saying such things.

“When the time comes, I’ll use this against her. I’ll make her work for me like a beast and kneel before me to beg for forgiveness, mwahahahaha!”

Ye Xinglan seemed certain that this opportunity would allow her to catch Eternal Star.

She couldn’t help but rub her hands together as all sorts of final fantasies unfolded in her mind.

“Besides, why can’t I lay a hand on her? If I just hit her lightly and keep the noise down, it should be fine, right?”

Xiaoxi was still wondering how Ye Xinglan could be so confident in a guaranteed victory over Eternal Star when she heard her little girlfriend continue.

“When the time comes, we’ll both strike together. She definitely won’t be able to handle it!”

“…I have to help, too?”

“Yes! You’ll go first. A pretentious girl like Eternal Star will definitely be too embarrassed to hit you, and then I’ll find a way to sneak attack her. We’ll definitely win!”

“Just beating her up once to vent some steam should be fine… oh, wait, there’s a new post. Let me check…”

Watching Ye Xinglan’s enthusiastic back as she rushed away, Xiaoxi couldn’t help but sigh. Every time she saw Ye Xinglan so excited to discuss revenge against Eternal Star, she felt a faint sense of guilt for hiding her identity.

When she had chatted with Muxingge before leaving Summersea City, the reason Xiaoxi gave was that she wanted to wait until the time was right to confess.

Thinking about it now, the time was actually about right.

After moving to North Flower City and living together, no rift had appeared in their relationship because of her identity as the Blood Moon Witch.

Furthermore, they had already met the parents, and Xiaoxi’s own internal struggles had been resolved. ‘Xinglan probably won’t mind… right?’

Thinking of Ye Xinglan’s enthusiastic attitude toward revenge just now, Xiaoxi couldn’t help but feel skeptical.

Additionally, the Astrologer had shown concern about this issue recently, subtly asking if she had considered confessing her identity to take their relationship to the next level.

Come to think of it, she didn’t know why the Astrologer was so focused on her relationship with Xinglan, checking in every few days.

From the perspective of managing Ye Xinglan, the Astrologer likely felt that the better their relationship was, the more stable the control over Ye Xinglan would be.

Otherwise, the Astrologer couldn’t possibly be that concerned about their love life, right?

Regardless, Xiaoxi also felt it was time to talk to Xinglan about this matter, but she hadn’t expected this situation to arise.

‘Maybe I should wait until the matter with the fake Eternal Star is resolved before confessing to Xinglan?’

As Xiaoxi’s thoughts wandered, Ye Xinglan came running back excitedly, her phone still displaying a half-edited spreadsheet.

“It’s settled! A summary post just appeared that compiled Eternal Star’s recent appearance locations and times. Over the past two days, that person seems to be active every night, and the range has been narrowed down! We’ll go stake out the area tonight. We’ll definitely catch her!”

Active every night with a fixed range… no matter how one looked at it, it smelled like bait. Had the Divine Summon Order run out of patience?

Xiaoxi blinked innocently. “I have to go with you?”

“Yes! Baby, you can also help me keep watch and stand guard. We’ll definitely catch her this time!”

Although she hadn’t expected Ye Xinglan to be such a person of action as to head out tonight, Xiaoxi had already intended to investigate the fake Eternal Star, so she naturally agreed.

Right, she also had to notify the Astrologer. If they really did run into the person, they might actually be able to capture the imposter in one fell swoop.

But speaking of which, although she couldn’t tell Ye Xinglan that the person was a fake for the time being, if they actually made contact, Xinglan would surely realize the person wasn’t the real deal, wouldn’t she?

Xiaoxi didn’t doubt Ye Xinglan’s familiarity with Eternal Star.

Just as she was familiar with the Blood Moon Witch’s various techniques, Xinglan was definitely well-acquainted with Eternal Star.

If they actually fought, Xinglan would likely notice something was wrong just from the Magic Power signature alone.

……

As evening fell, Silver Bell appeared at Xiaoxi’s door, clutching her game console.

For Silver Bell, taking the initiative to visit someone was already a groundbreaking step forward.

She had originally wanted to find Ye Xinglan to play games, but after knocking for a long time without a response, she had no choice but to call her.

To her surprise, the call was declined instantly. Seeing the message from Ye Xinglan saying “I’m busy tonight and not home,” Silver Bell blinked.

From the window, she could see that the lights in Xiaoxi’s house were indeed off.

If it were anyone else, they might not think much of it, but unfortunately, a socially anxious shut-in like Silver Bell tended to overthink by habit.

Recalling Xiaoxi’s reaction earlier today, she immediately became nervous.

‘No, it couldn’t be that Sirius is jealous because I’m always looking for Ye Xinglan, right? Besides, usually at this time, those two are already at home getting ready for some lovey-dovey time. Why would they go out today…?’

Back in her own room, Silver Bell turned on her computer while still wondering if she should take the initiative to go and apologize to Sirius properly.

As she thought about it, she subconsciously let out a sigh.

Even though it was rare to meet a fellow enthusiast like Ye Xinglan who got along so well with her, social problems were apparently unavoidable.

At times like this, Silver Bell couldn’t help but miss Wange Yue and A Xing.

Thinking of this, Silver Bell couldn’t help but glance toward the area under her bed.

Her gaze lingered for two or three seconds before she pulled it back… right, there was also that fellow A Xing.

With the internet buzzing over the past two days, she had naturally seen the news about Eternal Star appearing in North Flower City.

Recalling that she seemed to have encountered A Xing in the rain one night, Silver Bell couldn’t quite tell if the news was true or false.

She subconsciously clicked on a few related posts.

‘If that girl A Xing really came to North Flower City, why didn’t she say anything about coming to see me? We used to be so close… maybe I should go look for her. Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen A Xing.’

At times like this, Silver Bell couldn’t help but miss Wange Yue. ‘If Wange were still here, she could help me decide what to do right now, couldn’t she?’

Meanwhile, Ye Xinglan had already staked out a spot on the roadside with Xiaoxi.

She had no idea about the frantic overthinking Silver Bell was doing after being rejected.

She simply set her phone to silent and kept her eyes glued to the street, determined to catch that bastard Eternal Star!
