I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 72 Spoils of War

Chen Mu handed over the magical weapon [Ice Jade] to Lin Yongxi, although nominally it was compensation for Chen Mu.

It's not just because she loves it like a monkey.

First, Lin Yongxi is about to participate in a competition, and with the addition of this weapon, her chances of winning will obviously increase significantly.

Especially given her "ephemeral beauty" characteristic, she cannot normally use magic to enhance herself, so she needs weapons to maneuver and buy herself time.

Secondly, this thing also requires a supply of magic to use, so Chen Mu can't use it in the end.

His only power in this world is to transform into the Witch of Sunset, so he doesn't need such a weapon.

That's why he made that choice.

"As for me, I have already gained something precious enough in this battle..."

Chen Mu thought to himself that he was still preoccupied with the power of the [Witch] and couldn't calm down completely.

Before leaving, Bixi gave her some instructions:

"Use 【Ice Jade】 sparingly. Don't take it out casually unless you encounter a really tough enemy. It's not that I'm afraid of being found out and having something to do with me, Chen Mu, you're too dark-hearted. This thing will wear out and needs maintenance and repair. You'll have to ask me for materials again then, so don't say I didn't warn you about my exorbitant demands."

She quickly left with her group of demon court subordinates, seemingly finding the place unlucky, and didn't even stay for a cup of tea.

"Remember to participate in the main competition in a week, don't forget."

"good!"

Lin Yongxi watched them leave and answered earnestly.

Chen Mu stood up from the chair and walked back to his house.

Bixi arrived just a few hours ago, and the repair work has already been completed smoothly. Visibly, the surrounding lawns and gardens have been refilled with soil and new vegetation has been planted. There is almost no visible problem. The exterior walls of the villa have also been rebuilt and repainted, and it has been restored to its original condition. All the trash has been taken away.

Chen Mu knew that her people were very professional; otherwise, the city wouldn't have remained unchanged after so many years of monster attacks.

In this world, not all magical girls are skilled in combat. It can be said that most magical girls are support personnel outside of combat. However, their value cannot be denied. Without their silent contributions behind the scenes, there would be no equipment needed on the front line, nor a solid defense line at the rear.

One thing at a time, and despite his admiration, Chen Mu still said to Lin Yongxi:

"Check to see if anything has been tampered with."

"Well……"

Lin Yongxi then closed her eyes and began to silently sense the magic power. After a few seconds, she opened them and said, "No, I didn't sense anything."

"Okay." Chen Mu nodded, then opened the door and walked inside.

"Wait a minute." Lin Yongxi hesitated, fearing it might be her fault: "That dean is a [Leaf] level cultivator, how could I not tell if she was setting up magic?"

"It's okay, she probably won't dare."

Chen Mu knew this, but he still felt that Bixi wouldn't do such a thing.

The fear in her eyes, coupled with the mysterious disappearance of Mu Mian after her surprise attack last night, made the whole thing extremely strange, and no one dared to investigate further... Everyone understood that Lin Yongxi, an ordinary [Seed] level, could not possibly defeat her, even with Chen Mu's [Weirdo] power, it was absolutely impossible.

Bixi probably felt that Lin Chaojing had left something here, so she dared not test it lightly.

So Chen Mu returned to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and took out his wife's body.

Because outsiders are coming, they have no choice but to hide inside temporarily. However, corpses don't have magical properties, so they probably won't be able to find them.

Chen Mu placed the body back on the bed, looked at it quietly, and thought:

"To transform into a 'witch,' I must maintain physical contact with Asakage to complete the consciousness transfer. This could be holding hands or touching other parts of her body."

"This is a limitation. If she's not around, it will be very troublesome if I need to transform temporarily. I might not be able to react in time if I encounter danger outside."

"However, I can't always carry her on my back, or carry a coffin with me; that would be too conspicuous..."

"Perhaps as this power evolves, there will be new transformation methods later on. At least for now, I can still rely on the power of the [Monster] to avoid being ambushed."

"This power of the [Witch]... I still know nothing about it. Perhaps I need to experiment more, or perhaps I should explore the truth within the [Dream World]."

Chen Mu thought about many things, including how to conceal the fact that the corpse had come back to life while he was using his wife's body.

Although the threatening informant, Kapok, is now dead, we will inevitably have to use this power later, and there are still many issues to consider. We cannot recklessly expose it.

Now, he uses the powers of magical girls in the dream world and the powers of witches in the real world, which is quite exciting.

Although it sounds interesting and powerful, you must be careful every step of the way, or one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.

He walked out of the room while pondering these things in his mind.

Lin Yongxi was standing outside the door. She wisely didn't follow her in, but waited by the bedroom.

Upon seeing Chen Mu emerge, he took out what he was holding:

"Brother-in-law, what should we do with this?"

In the girl's palm was a gleaming silver ring.

This was found last night among the "garnet fragments" belonging to Kapok. It was her only remaining possession, and the fact that it didn't shatter during Chen Mu's attack shows it's definitely not an ordinary ring. Although Chen Mu couldn't sense any magic power, he understood immediately upon picking it up, saying, "This should be a type of [magical equipment]..."

【Magic Equipment】and Magic Weapons are actually the same thing. They are both items that have been enchanted to have special effects, but equipment is more functional.

"This thing has a similar effect to the 'storage ring' in novels. It has a small space inside that can temporarily hold inanimate objects."

Chen Mu explained, "Just like Bixi, didn't she take this stick out of her bosom? You can hide it inside later, so you don't have to carry it around and make it conspicuous all the time."

To be honest, he never expected that the dead Kapok would drop such good equipment.

This must be a pretty valuable prop. I thought she was the kind of poor person who couldn't even afford a weapon, but she got such an unexpected surprise.

"Hey... I think he's pretty handsome, don't you think?"

Lin Yongxi still adored her stick, but Chen Mu gave her a look before she pouted and accepted the ring.

Although magical girls usually place restrictions on their storage items so that only they can open them, the magic will naturally stop working when the person dies.

Therefore, Lin Yongxi simply swiped it lightly, and the ring was immediately opened, with all the contents falling out.

The two looked over—

...

It's the end of the month! It's the last day. If any of you gentlemen have any unused monthly passes, please give them to me. Thank you so much!
