Chapter 257: Shocking Truth, Chu Wang Shu’s Soul Questions

Chu Wang Shu pressed pause and save, looking at the two-hour recording. She rubbed her eyes and yawned a little, feeling somewhat sleepy.

It was already midnight. Although she felt energetic after meditating for a while and had enough energy, her body’s clock reminded her that it was time to sleep.

"I’ll listen to it at double speed, take some notes, and then go to bed."

The recording of the lovely daughter was made right when the class started. It included parts where they practiced using the Meditation Method, and later, the classes where Honey Qing acted as the little teacher. She listened to the recording while checking her notes, fast-forwarding and filling in the gaps, feeling very fulfilled.

However, after half an hour, the pace began to rise to a strange level.

"Um, Little Qing, don’t… it tickles."

"So naughty, gurgle, gurgle…"

At first, Chu Wang Shu thought it was a hallucination. She confusedly took off her headphones and then put them back on, her pale earlobes turning red amidst the suspicious sounds.

"Hmph, I caught you, begging for mercy? No way, I’m going to get my revenge right in front of Little Shu!"

"No, no, pouring magic inside is cheating. Little Qing is a bad person, a bad thing."

"…So hot, so full, wah, um, I… I let go, I… I didn’t give up, but… but you can’t pour anymore!"

These strange little sounds were far less clear than during the lessons; they were vague and fuzzy, like a low-pixel movie, mixed with a different kind of intimacy, sometimes accompanied by the sound of fabric rubbing and a kitten drinking water.

Chu Wang Shu listened carefully and, with her newly awakened extrasensory perception, she pieced together the suspicious recording. Her lovely face turned bright red, and she felt like a steam-powered doll with a broken CPU.

The girl was full of learning, her mind stuffed with adult information in pink. Her dark eyes twirled, and she felt like she had opened the door to a new world, left speechless by the shocking realization.

After listening for a while longer, the adorable girl finally reacted, mumbling to herself.

"Huh? So… so, Sister Charlotte didn’t open the door for me back then because she was… she was doing that thing with Honey Qing?!"

Chu Wang Shu was at a loss for words, her mind a jumble, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Haha, no wonder Honey Qing and Sister Charlotte’s faces were so red, and their eyes looked more captivating than usual. It turns out… it makes sense that they were blushing.

Chu Wang Shu felt ashamed, realizing she had unintentionally interrupted and even intruded on Sister Charlotte and Honey Qing’s private life! They would surely dislike, bother, and even hate her for this, right?

Wait, something doesn’t feel right! This isn’t the time to worry about that. The real question is, when did Sister Charlotte and Honey Qing’s relationship become like this?

The cute girl slapped her cheeks with both hands, anxiously pausing the recording. She didn’t dare to listen anymore; her mind felt chaotic and her thoughts tangled. After several minutes of trying to calm down, she barely managed to sort through her ideas.

First, Sister Charlotte said that she has a very good relationship with her dad.

This is good; one possibility is that she is a stepmother candidate, or it can simply be thought of as a "friendship across ages," as good friends.

But before this, Little Qing and Charlotte’s relationship was quite evident to others.

When Chu Yuanqing first arrived in Vienna, she stayed with Charlotte for a long time and the next day asked the competitors in Vienna for her contact information. After that, almost 90% of the time she spent on her phone was chatting with Charlotte.

And the most obvious thing was the way they acted when they met each other.

It did not look like the feelings of people who had only known each other for a short time. Because they both shared the identity of magical girls, she had already imagined a lot about their past together. So when she learned about their romantic relationship, aside from feeling shy about listening in, she was not really shocked.

After all, after the sixth episode aired, anyone who surfed the internet for a little while would see the online community of Austria and Daxia wildly imagining the relationship between these two, and she had already planted some of those possible thoughts in her mind; seeing it truly bloom was just the next step.

Well, although this sprout suddenly grew into a huge tree in front of her, at least she was somewhat prepared.

"It’s… at least better than misunderstanding that Liuli has a crush on Sister Miyuki!"

The lovely daughter tried hard to convince herself. She rubbed her cheeks with her hands and nodded as she continued:

"If you think about it carefully, if Sister Charlotte didn’t have such a strong charm, making everyone get along so well, she and Little Qing would have been off since long ago."

Chu Wang Shu managed to gather herself a bit, regaining some of her senses. She felt a little sad; she had hoped that Sister Charlotte and her dad might have a special relationship, and maybe she could have a new mom.

But instead, Sister Charlotte was now with her top choice for a stepmother—gentle, shining, incredibly beautiful, both youthful and mature, with a lovely figure, amazing cooking skills, and even storytelling talents, not to mention her striking white hair and golden eyes, Honey Qing—they simply clicked together!

The lovely daughter felt secretly heartbroken. This meant she had lost two mothers!

Even though… even though she knew her dad would never be with these two, she still felt like something was missing, leaving her heart feeling empty.

Oh, how unfortunate! If only her dad, Sister Charlotte, and Honey Qing could be together, she would have the perfect new family.

Chu Wang Shu dazed for a while before she squashed this ridiculous thought. She shook her head in shame, feeling quite strange for always imagining the other girls as stepmothers. This must be some kind of illness!

"But it seems I have only had such fantasies about Little Qing and Sister Charlotte, not about Sister Xie or Sister Miyuki. There are so many pretty sisters at the base, and they seem perfectly normal to me."

"Thinking this way, maybe they are just too special?"

Chu Wang Shu thought about this question for a while and no longer found it strange.

Because whether it is Charlotte or Chu Yuanqing, they are both charming girls. The former is almost becoming the national flower of the Sacred United Country, and the latter can receive flowers from strangers wherever she goes, without any celebrity aura, yet she can still capture hearts with her beauty.

"I’m just someone who loves pretty faces."

The lovely daughter suddenly realized, thinking this answer made a lot of sense. She dismissed the possibility of being a weirdo and felt much more at ease.

After that, Chu Wang Shu looked at the inappropriate recording on the tablet, hesitated for a moment, but then quickly skipped to the proper lesson part, hurriedly finished her notes, deleted it directly, turned off the tablet, and flopped onto the soft big bed to go to sleep.

But in her hazy state, the lovely daughter could still hear strange water sounds by her ear from time to time, keeping her tossing and turning the whole night.

The girl couldn’t help but imagine what Honey Qing did with Sister Charlotte under the covers that night. Just as she started to imagine, she would feel so embarrassed that she rolled around under the blanket. She didn’t know how long she tossed and turned before finally managing to fall asleep.

On the other side, The Last Diva faced defeat after defeat, yet kept fighting back.

In the end, feeling angry and flustered, she pouted and threatened, forcing the innocent Chu Yuanqing to not use her magic. Together with the golden retriever, they bullied each other fiercely for an hour without magic.

After that, Miss Saintess felt like she had discovered a new world.

Oh right, if love alone is enough without magic, then Honey Qing is really not a big deal!

Unfortunately, just as Charlotte was thinking of taking advantage, the Pure White Witch ordered the golden retriever to tie up the other person, returning all the things that happened in the past hour, punishing the fallen Holy Maiden severely.

After skipping five thousand words of events, the three friends’ playful party ended perfectly. They all went to the bathroom to wash up, wore bathrobes, feeling relaxed and tired, and fell into a deep sleep on one bed.

It’s worth mentioning that Chu Yuanqing was in the middle, her soft waist held by the clingy golden retriever, with a heavy warmth pressed against her back, while in her arm lay the beautiful songstress, whose eyes were slightly red and smiling, looking pure and lovely, with her hand filled with the softness of the other’s leg.

Hmm, the nature of this scene was quite subtle, and it was unclear if Honey Qing was enjoying the moment or being shared by the two.

But since everyone was only in their nightwear and hadn’t covered themselves with blankets, it truly seemed like a benefit for all, vivid and lively, almost like it could be used as artwork in an adult game.

The next morning.

Chu Yuanqing pushed aside the golden retriever resting on her waist and moved Charlotte’s leg off her. She woke up right at six o’clock, picked up her pajamas that had been thrown on the sofa, put them on, poked Xie Bao’s waist, and squeezed Holy Maiden’s thigh, reminding both of them it was time to get up. Then she used her elemental magic to hide her form and stepped outside.

Although her lovely daughter had developed extrasensory perception, it only allowed her to sense open magic, just like how she used to vaguely smell her teammates’ emotions.

However, with a stable structure and skilled concealment magic, one could mostly ignore this basic extrasensory perception.

Well, not to mention the most powerful rules and concept-type magic, even low-level elemental and mental spells could easily bypass this beginner’s observation.

So, unless her lovely daughter learned detection spells or her extrasensory perception evolved to a level of deep understanding, this couple could easily remain undetected.

It can only be said that yesterday Charlotte underestimated her own daughter; otherwise, just like the magic Chu Yuanqing used in the café to conceal herself, it could perfectly combine invisibility and soundproofing, even creating an illusion outside with no flaws.

Having experienced yesterday’s embarrassing situation, Chu Yuanqing reminded herself not to make the same mistake again. She must use magic to protect the image she and Charlotte held in their daughter’s heart!

For this reason, the Pure White Witch was very careful, not only getting up at six but also using magic to hide her form as she quietly returned to her room. After washing up and changing clothes, she quickly arrived at the sunlit glass dining room, took out her phone, and quietly urged Charlotte not to snooze.

A little while later,

Xie Qingxuan took the lead and sat down beside her. She looked very well; her skin, already smooth and pale, looked even more beautiful in the bright sunlight. Her long, thick eyelashes blinked, and her dark eyes looked at Chu Yuanqing, slightly wet, like a little puppy.

Chu Yuanqing thought this look was both sweet and soft and couldn’t help but touch her platinum-colored hair. But the golden retriever dog quietly seized the chance and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, passively re-experiencing the other’s soft rose-like lips in the morning.

The Pure White Witch was so shocked that her heart raced. She quickly used magic to cover the area and looked around carefully. After not seeing her daughter, she gently touched Xie Qingxuan’s lips with her fingertip and seriously warned her:

"Little Xuan! You must be careful in the future and watch your surroundings. You can’t let Little Shu see you!"

Xie Qingxuan obediently nodded. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the Liuli Cat, who had just come down the stairs and still looked sleepy. She quickly took Chu Yuanqing’s fingertip, which was resting on her lips, into her mouth.

Then, the golden retriever’s eyes became misty. Seizing the other’s confused moment, she pinched that delicate white wrist and leaned in closer to block the target, giving a quick burst of magic.

Tang Liuli walked to the "empty" dining table and felt something was off just as the two finished their kiss.

Chu Yuanqing wiped her lips with a tissue, her little face serious as she made Xie Qingxuan sit back in her original spot, feeling a bit exhausted.

Then, she quickly released the magic, startling the confused socially anxious cat.

Tang Liuli noticed Xie Qingxuan’s moist lips in just a second. Based on her past experience, she looked at the other person’s pure and innocent expression, which was calm as if it were normal, and she figured out what had just happened.

The green-eyed cat puffed up her cheeks. She sat on the other side of Chu Yuanqing and felt that Xie Qingxuan must have done this bad thing on purpose right in front of her. It was really too much. In that moment, she glared at the other person, very angry.

Unfortunately, this unthreatening glare only made the golden retriever look back in confusion and ask:

"Does Liuli want a kiss too?"

Xie Qingxuan said seriously:

"Sure! Since Little Shu isn’t here yet, Little Qing won’t say no to Liuli."

A question mark appeared over Chu Yuanqing’s head; she felt like she had been captured strongly by this flirtatious dog.

Tang Liuli shamefully felt her heart stir. She nervously said:

"Little Qing, today my toothpaste is grapefruit white tea flavor. It smells really nice!"

Chu Yuanqing felt that it could not go on like this. If she were any slower and Miyuki or Charlotte saw her, she would have to do it all over again. Sooner or later, her lovely daughter would see it too. She simply leaned in and gave Liuli a quick kiss on the lips, lingering for a few seconds. After tasting the flavor of grapefruit white tea, she quickly finished.

Xie Qingxuan watched the whole process and exclaimed in surprise:

"Little Qing, you are so skilled."

Who do you think’s at fault here!

Chu Yuanqing was getting really angry. She wanted to tease the other person, but she was also afraid it would turn into a reward by mistake.

In the end, after thinking a lot, the girl could only take a soft piece of bread from the plate, tear off a piece, and stuff it into the golden retriever’s mouth. Only when its cheeks were puffed up did she feel a sense of peace.

On the other side, the green-eyed cat, who was easily taken care of, looked on with envy, showing a longing gaze for food.

This led to a heartwarming scene when Little Sakura and Miss Saintess arrived at the restaurant, finding Pure White Witch feeding the cats and dogs with a spoon, making one wonder if they were filming some "cute pet" show.

"Little Qing, I want you to feed me too!"

After Charlotte sat down, she confidently spoke her willful words.

Kirimi Miyuki smoothened her skirt and looked around at the little idols, unable to help but sigh:

"Little Qing is not everyone’s mom; it’s better to do these things on your own, you know."

"By the way, hasn’t Little Shu gotten up yet?"

It was now seven o’clock, and the five of them were seated, but the one who usually arrived earliest and was the most disciplined, Chu Wang Shu, was still missing, which felt a bit strange to everyone.

Chu Yuanqing didn’t think much of it; yesterday, Little Shu had cooked for them and didn’t go home until nearly midnight, staying up three or four hours later than usual, so it was normal for her to sleep in a bit today.

Chu Yuanqing smiled optimistically, gently wiping the cat’s mouth with a tissue as she said:

"She should arrive soon."

Sure enough, about five minutes later,

The lovely daughter walked with a light step and sat down beside everyone. She looked very tired, her eyelids drooping down, giving the impression that she hadn’t slept well. While drinking her milk, she seemed to be daydreaming, her focus distant, like a cute little bird that was a bit silly.

Seeing this, Charlotte’s motherly love burst forth. She eagerly sat beside her and, taking advantage of her daughter’s sleepy state, touched and hugged her. If it weren’t for her great beauty and charm, this behavior would seem quite suspicious.

Chu Yuanqing was also touched by the cuteness. She quietly took out her phone and snapped several pictures. After taking a few groups of photos, the golden retriever and the green-eyed cat came over to the frame, so she included Little Sakura too, making it a family photo. After editing it with the little idol nearby, she happily posted it on Weibo.

The caption was pretty ordinary, "Good morning, everyone is so cute!"

Well, this sentence was actually only partly meant for the fans; the latter part was about the little idols and her daughter.

But in Little Yuanxiao’s eyes, this sentence was purely Honey Qing praising herself. As a result, the comments section was filled with fans who were kind and pure-hearted like angels, making it difficult for the haters to compete, so all the Weibo comments were heartfelt, with a particularly powerful feedback effect.

Chu Yuanqing, not yet aware of this wonderful misunderstanding, patted her daughter’s hair after taking the pictures and worriedly asked,

"Little Shu, did you not sleep well last night? You look very tired. Why don’t you go back and sleep a bit longer?"

Kirimi Miyuki also suggested,

"If you don’t sleep well, your training won’t be effective, Little Shu shouldn’t push herself."

Chu Wang Shu avoided the gazes of Charlotte and Honey Qing and quietly said:

"I’m… I’m fine! I just need to have breakfast."

The green-eyed cat tilted her head and watched her lovely daughter for a while, sensing something was off, and felt a wave of caution.

Little Shu couldn’t have guessed they were having a naughty party, right?!

After Chu Wang Shu got through the sleepy morning phase, she focused on eating her meal. She didn’t dare to look at her two favorite close idols next to her, afraid that she might accidentally remember the naughty sounds again, feeling both embarrassed and shy, until halfway through her meal, she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

The lovely daughter lifted her gaze to the two and took a deep breath, unable to hold back her curiosity, and asked:

"Sister Charlotte, Little Qing, when did you get together?"
