Chapter 136 Part 2: Little Qing, How Many Girls Have You Kissed Before? (2)
If she had more time, she might have been able to complete these unfinished tasks and prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
"Positive emotions, or the power of sentient beings’ wishes, can only attempt to repair the lantern, enhance magical power, try to increase lifespan through this method, unless one walks this path to the end, creating a miracle magic strong enough to reverse the Sea of Truth."
"But it’s not realistic."
The Sea of Truth is the source of the world, the origin of the universe, the intersection of time, space, and fate.
Even Chu Yuanqing, who once held the power of the thirteen "Calamity Gods" at its peak, possessing the fusion of ninety percent blessings from the "Levantin", could only barely collaborate with Charlotte’s blessing powers, find a loophole, correct some tributaries, and thereby change history.
The Sea of Truth does not care about the "disaster beasts", nor does it care about human civilization.
Chu Yuanqing will endure the curse simply because she triggered a taboo and violated its mechanisms.
After transforming into a magical girl, the main reason she became more lively and normal was because when she transformed into a witch, it fixed the cause and effect magic of the whole world for a moment, making the concept of "Chu Yuanying" blurry.
This directly made the punishment mechanism of the Sea of Truth also become somewhat unclear, extending her life for a few more months, which was a kind of half-skipping class response.
The problem is that such level of magic is impossible to reproduce or replicate.
Chu Yuanqing’s identity had no connection to her physical body, world records, or past cause and effect, achieving this effect all thanks to the miraculous magic triggered by the birth of the Pure White Witch.
To take it a step further, it would only be possible by completely forgetting "Chu Yuanying" as a person, erasing all his records and traces on a causal level.
In simple terms, it’s impossible to do.
This is also the reason why Chu Yuanqing didn’t attempt to struggle, as she no longer had the means to confront a giant like the Sea of Truth.
"Little Qing?"
Kirimi Miyuki’s slightly worried question interrupted Chu Yuanqing’s thoughts.
Chu Yuanqing quickly woke up, realizing that she seemed a bit strange to others. She looked up and smiled, softly saying:
"I’m fine, just feeling a little sleepy, so I zoned out for a bit."
"By the way, Miyuki, is there something you need by coming to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Kirimi Miyuki took a deep breath. Her pink eyes gazed at the other person, and she earnestly whispered:
"Little Qing, I have some questions for you."
Chu Yuanqing didn’t think too much, and simply replied:
"Is it about training? Go ahead and ask."
Kirimi Miyuki, with hope in her heart, eagerly looked at the other person’s face and asked slowly and seriously:
"Little Qing, did you willingly kiss Xie Qingxuan?"
Chu Yuanqing was completely caught off guard by the unexpected straight ball that almost hit her face.
She felt a sudden tingling sensation on her scalp, as if sitting on pins and needles. It was like a widow falling in love with a young puppy, only to be caught in bed by the neighbor’s nosy child. There was a sense of awkwardness, feeling both inappropriate and forbidden, as if being exposed to a year’s worth of social embarrassment.
Chu Yuanqing glanced at her daughter sleeping beside her, nervously placing a finger on her lips. She anxiously asked the other person to speak more softly, her eyes shifting and avoiding contact, as if a secret had been uncovered, feeling a bit lost.
This is so strange, too strange.
Whether with Qingxuan or Miyuki, they were just normal friends, so why did things turn into such a weird situation?
Chu Yuanqing thought about shaking her head instinctively, unsure how to reject it. She didn’t even consider how Little Sakura found out about it, but she bit her lip and replied honestly:
"…Although it may be different from what you imagined, the statement is correct in terms of the outcome."
The hope in Kirimi Miyuki’s eyes shattered.
Really, what Xie Qingxuan said was true.
Why is that? Did Little Qing really like the other person and take the initiative to kiss and confess?
In that case, should Little Fox who is unwilling to be themselves, let go and wish Little Qing to find her own happiness?
At this moment, Little Sakura felt a new glimmer of hope. If the person she likes is not a good person, then maybe she has the right to be mistreated as well. She held back her bitter feelings and choked back tears, sniffing and asking, "When did this happen?"
"When did this happen?"
Chu Yuanqing felt a bit ashamed and guilty as she looked at Miyuki’s sad and hurt expression.
Yes, Miyuki must look down on someone who had improper relationships with other girls during her trainee days, especially since Miyuki always thought they were similar.
So, of course, the other person would feel disillusioned now, maybe even feel betrayed by a friend, and it’s normal to show that expression.
But…
When it’s something that can’t be explained, it can only lead to misunderstandings.
Chu Yuanqing sighed in her heart and, feeling guilty, chose to tell the truth:
"It was the afternoon after we finished shooting that wedding dress advertisement with you."
Kirimi Miyuki felt like she was struck by lightning. She thought she was prepared, but hearing that specific time made her feel like the world was falling apart. The pure white wedding dress that stirred up feelings of love and affection shattered in her mind.
Little Sakura’s eyes fogged up even more, her emotions starting to spiral out of control. Despite that, she tried hard to hold herself back and calmly said:
"Why did you choose that day? Was it to explain things to Xie Qingxuan? To explain why we shot that advertisement together, purely for work?"
"So, in order to prove that you liked her and not me, you chose to kiss her to show it, is that right?"
Chu Yuanqing felt like a storm was forcefully brewing in her mind. A huge amount of information swirled in her consciousness. She hazily sorted out the meaning from those words, deciding it was better to clear up some misunderstandings. She quietly responded:
"Miyuki, it’s not like what you think."
"I kissed her just because I had to, not because I liked her. Plus, Qingxuan doesn’t know that we shot that wedding dress advertisement together."
This is absolutely true.
Even Chu Yuanqing herself, after speaking these words, felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. She thought that hastily speaking these words could lead to misunderstandings quite easily.
And indeed it was the case.
Kirimi Miyuki felt a warm feeling in her heart, her shattered inner self revived by the denial towards Xie Qingxuan. The hope that was about to shatter reignited.
Even though the words "I just need you" sounded inappropriate and disrespectful, the current Little Sakura felt as if she had been persuaded by a bad woman and immersed herself in the joy of regaining something lost. She didn’t care about these "flaws" and only felt that she hadn’t completely lost yet.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but cry after being triggered by the previous words.
Tears fell from the corners of the young girl’s reddened eyes, her beautiful face tainted with tears. Despite trying to keep a calm expression, there was a mix of grievances and sadness, making her look very pitiful.
Chu Yuanqing grew more panicked as she continued to watch, unsure of how to handle the situation.
Kirimi Miyuki reluctantly regained her composure. She knew that not only Xie Qingxuan but also Tang Liuli harbored thoughts about Chu Yuanqing beyond normal friendship. With determination, she continued her approach:
"So, have you kissed Liuli voluntarily too?"
Chu Yuanqing hesitated, not telling the truth. If Liuli couldn’t keep a secret in the future, Miyuki would only feel sadder. But if she told the truth, no matter how she explained, she would be seen as a lesbian or a pervert, right?
The girl pursed her lips, unaware that she was being tricked. After thinking for a while, she stuttered out slowly:
"Yes, there was, but… I can’t really say it was voluntary."
Kirimi Miyuki clenched her fist.
Saying it was voluntary, still not counted as voluntary?
Doesn’t this mean that after Little Qing kissed the other person voluntarily, Tang Liuli responded with effort and even took the lead to kiss for a long time?
Even though her emotions had been numbed by overwhelming information, upon knowing her house was robbed by the green-eyed cat, she still had the desire to cry out loud.
Little Sakura took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. She moistened her lips and held back tears, but they flowed even more joyously. Even when she spoke, there was a hint of restrained sobbing:
"Little Qing, how many women have you kissed?"
"Little Shu, have you kissed anyone? What about your other roommate, Liang Xiaoxiao, has she kissed someone? Or have you kissed any other women that I don’t know about?"
