The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 481 Deception Requires Skill

[Star News, good morning, noon, and evening, everyone]

Earlier astrological forecasts indicated that a new magical storm had formed in the Aries constellation and would make landfall at 4:00 AM London time today.

The first affected areas include Xuecheng, Liaocheng, and Shenyang in Liaoning Province. Within 72 hours, the influence will move south into the Beijing area. Stargazers in all areas are advised to spread the information and take appropriate measures.

"Another magic storm... How troublesome..."

The white ferret sat on Nan Xiaofeng's shoulder, leaning against her head, flipping through the astral news program broadcast on the divine stone in her hand.

"If Senior Bai Ling finds this troublesome, I'll contact the seniors in Shencheng and ask them to arrange the defenses."

On the other side, the fox spirit poked its head out of Lin Muyao's coat hood, and its fox tail also peeked out from the hood, speaking out.

"Huh? No, no, no, it's not troublesome at all, how could it be troublesome!"

Bai Ling quickly said.

"I love dealing with magic storms! Don't you agree, Little Wind?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I like dealing with them." Nan Xiaofeng echoed expressionlessly.

I always felt that Bai Ling acted like a fool in front of Miss Yue Tianxin... No, Bai Ling is actually a bit silly?

Thinking of this, Nan Xiaofeng looked up at what was in front of him.

From around noon, the sky over Snow City had been overcast, and now a heavy snowfall had begun, quickly covering the melted snow with a thick layer.

The forest trails in Yinsha Valley were also covered with snow. Snowflakes drifted down from the gaps in the coniferous forest, piling up a thin layer on the stone path, which was quickly trampled into puddles by hikers.

"The scenery is quite beautiful," Hua Ling said, as if noticing Nan Xiaofeng's gaze.

"Thousands of pear trees are in bloom... I thought I wouldn't see this snow-covered scene after spring, but I never expected to see it again..."

"If that's the case, I also think it looks pretty good," Nan Xiaofeng replied, nodding.

But then a helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face:

"Sigh... but with such heavy snow, we probably won't be able to return today. We'll have to rest at the hotel for the night."

"After all, our plan is to spend two or three days here," Hua Ling said with a smile.

The three continued on the snow-covered path, following the Hero Association's signs, and were not lost in the heavy snow.

As they walked, Lin Muyao seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:

"But then again, if the magic storm is to ravage Snow City, will Heart Moon Fox also take some action?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Even the fox spirit that was originally hiding in the hat took the opportunity to climb onto Lin Muyao's shoulder.

"Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that?" Yue Tianxin said, pretending to be unaware.

"Does Senior Bai Ling know about Xin Yuehu's movements? Has she responded to the magic storm?"

"If you suddenly ask me this..."

The white ferret elf stretched out its paw and scratched its head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

But soon, Bai Ling casually plucked a strand of hair from the hyacinth's side and said to her:

"Hey, Xiaofeng, didn't you follow Xinyuehu's video account? Take out your phone and let me see."

"Who, who cares about that stinky fox! You stupid little devil!" Nan Xiaofeng exhaled.

"You clearly followed! Didn't a live stream notification pop up when you were watching videos last time?" Bai Ling retorted without backing down.

Lin Muyao and Hua Ling exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and finally took out their phones.

"You two stop arguing, let me take a look."

"Oh, yes, she did post an update, and it was posted ten minutes ago... Wow..."

Seeing Lin Muyao's surprised expression, Bai Ling also seemed interested and quickly flew to her other empty shoulder, and the two stargazers peered out at the same time.

"What? Let me see too!"

"...Wow, is Xin Yuehu really going for it?"

Bai Ling said in surprise.

Although Nan Xiaofeng was very curious, she tried her best to appear calm.

Who cares about the fox's movements? This is called tactical reconnaissance. Do you understand reconnaissance?

"...So what did Xin Yuehu say?" Nan Xiaofeng asked, pretending to be calm.

Bai Ling glanced at her, snorted, and turned her head away, deliberately ignoring her.

This infuriated Nan Xiaofeng so much that he almost rushed up and dragged Bai Ling back. The white sable sprite quickly hid behind Yue Tianxin's fox tail and made faces at Nan Xiaofeng.

"Hehehe! You can't catch me!"

"Ah... well, what Xin Yuehu is actually saying is that she has already set up many defensive measures in the city, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

"That fox set up defenses? ...That doesn't sound very plausible to me."

Nan Xiaofeng frowned, as distrustful as ever.

But when Lin Muyao showed her the video, after only watching for a dozen seconds, Nan Xiaofeng immediately showed a strange expression—

Aside from the initial arrangement to assist in the defense of Snow City, the rest of the video is almost entirely dedicated to showcasing weaponry, which means displaying the actual combat performance of the Twelve Zodiac Witches.

For example, the scene where the Leo witch directly suppresses herself, the scene where the Cancer witch suppresses the iris, and the scene where the Gemini witch makes her own way.

Wait, something's not right. Why is the whole thing mostly about me getting beaten up?

What is Scorpio? Have you ever been beaten up by a Scorpio witch?

"In short! Xin Yuehu is planning to do something bad in Snow City again, right!" Nan Xiaofeng said, blushing, trying to change the subject.

Lin Muyao remained unmoved until the video finished playing, at which point she joined in on Nan Xiaofeng's conversation.

"Didn't Kexin Yuehu say she was going to help with the defense of Snow City? I don't think she's going to do anything bad."

"That's right, Mu Yao is absolutely right!"

Bai Ling chimed in, patting Lin Muyao's shoulder with her tail.

"Mu Yao, could you play that video again? I want to see Xiao Feng being held down in the swimming pool by Aries..."

"Bai Ling! I'm going to kill you!"

Despite their playful banter, after chasing each other for a while, they eventually settled down to discuss their next move.

"I think we can trust Xin Yuehu occasionally."

Yue Tianxin went against the grain and took the initiative to offer suggestions.

But this was entirely within my expectations, especially given Nan Xiaofeng's awkward personality—

"How can we believe that? That fox has never done anything good! I think we have to keep an eye on her movements."

See, here it comes, this is what they call the rebellious phase.

"But... how are we going to explain this to Sister Tianqing and the others?" Hualing asked with some worry.

"Hey, what's there to worry about? Look at this heavy snow, Sister Tianqing and the others will definitely be staying at the service area for a day or two."

Nan Xiaofeng revealed a confident expression.

"Let's go back and confirm whether Xin Yuehu is genuinely helping with the defense or secretly plotting something. We'll quietly return when the heavy snow is almost over, and Tian Qing and the others won't find out."

"Well... that's the only way."

Bai Ling nodded thoughtfully, and she and Nan Xiaofeng both showed expressions of determination.

My deception seems to have succeeded?
