Who's the transfer student?! Why do I have to go to school when it's already vacation?! Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to shout out her complaint.
"Yi Xia, don't be too hasty," the gentle older sister with long, straight black hair looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and stopped her from acting recklessly. "It seems like she's not a transfer student, there's more to the story."
Read? Isn't that right?
A summer of visible disappointment.
Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, "Studying here is quite interesting, but unfortunately, I am not a transfer student."
His expression turned serious. "A blonde girl asked me to save her sisters, and I couldn't refuse, so I came here to look for them... It seems to be going smoothly, and I've actually found you."
Mu Xiaoxiao directly stated her purpose.
Upon hearing this, the girls who had been chattering suddenly fell silent. They all froze, staring at Mu Xiaoxiao with complex expressions on their faces.
The silence lasted for a while before Qi Xia broke the silence first, "Qi Xia is such an idiot. She's already left this place, why is she still remembering us? She should go out and enjoy life."
"And you, running off to such a dangerous place just for this kind of request, I don't know whether to call it bravery or recklessness," said Shichika Ichika, hands behind her back. "Are you Shichika's lover from outside? Damn it, she's the youngest sister, how dare she beat us to it!"
Isn't the eldest of the seven sisters a bit eccentric?
Erxia seemed used to Ichika's personality and explained with a smile, "Don't let Ichika's personality fool you, she's very reliable when it matters and is everyone's leader. But about us... actually, none of us plan to leave here."
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Yes, we have no plans to leave. It's quite nice to live here. You've made a wasted trip."
"And now you can't leave even if you want to. You can only stay here with us. Oh no, will Qi Xia be angry? Her boyfriend is locked up here, she'll definitely be furious, right?"
Listening to their conversation, Mu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and didn't rush to ask them about their affairs. Instead, she explained, "My relationship with Qi Xia is a bit complicated, but we're not dating yet."
"You're not dating? That's fine then."
"I'll take you to the school building first, we'll talk about the rest later," the six sisters smiled knowingly at Mu Xiaoxiao as they opened their eyes. "Anyway, welcome to Qixia Paradise—"
Chapter 200 Reunion, Meeting
The seven families and six sisters each introduced themselves. Mu Xiaoxiao subtly inquired and learned that this was the first time a man had entered this place, and it was also the first time these girls had seen a boy. Therefore, they looked at him with unusual boldness and enthusiasm, and quickly became familiar with Mu Xiaoxiao.
Considering Qi Xia's real age, Mu Xiaoxiao could only guess that these beautiful young women had actually been in this paradise for decades and hadn't seen a man in decades. No wonder their eyes were like those of hungry wolves.
Mu Xiaoxiao's lips twitched violently.
Yi Xia led Mu Xiaoxiao on a tour of their school building, introducing everything along the way. She was very lively. However, compared to this ponytail girl, Er Xia, who was always smiling beside her, seemed to have more of an elder sister's temperament. She would occasionally agree with Yi Xia's words or correct Yi Xia's grammatical errors.
"Mu Jun, you came from the outside world. What's the outside world like?" Sanxia, with her twin ponytails, walked beside Mu Xiaoxiao. This girl looked a bit like a child, asking many questions curiously. "It must have been many years ago, I heard technology has become very advanced."
"If you want to know, you can leave here and go outside to see for yourself."
Mu Xiaoxiao answered with a smile, "Well, this."
“The outside world is very exciting, but it doesn’t belong to us. In comparison, this is where we should be. Besides, the park has everything we need.” The quiet Si Xia pulled her sister back and then smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao. “I’m sorry, Mu Jun, San Xia is always curious about new things. Did I disturb you?”
"No, Sanxia is very cute."
“I think Sanxia is more interested in Mujun than in the outside world, after all, he’s a boy,” said Wuxia, the athletic girl, with a grin. “It’s not just Sanxia, we are too.”
Wu Xia stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with her eyes wide open, making no attempt to hide her gaze, as if she were looking at a giant panda. In contrast to her bold stare, Liu Xia was much more shy, keeping her head down and remaining silent.
But Mu Xiaoxiao's keen intuition told her that Mu Xiaoxiao was always secretly peeking at her through her bangs. Wu Xia was right; they really rarely saw boys. Every time these six sisters talked, they would look at Mu Xiaoxiao.
As for Mu Xiaoxiao, he was already thinking about how to deal with these sisters. He originally thought that the trouble he would encounter when entering this place would be the tsukumogami that Qixia mentioned, but he did not expect that the mysterious tsukumogami did not appear at all.
Instead, it was Qi Xia's sisters who became an obstacle; they were unwilling to leave. Mu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.
“There’s no one else in the school building except us, so there are a lot of empty rooms here. Hehe, Mu Jun, you can sleep in this room next to us,” Yi Xia led him to an empty room. “A few days ago, two girls from outside also stayed here, but they seem to have gone out today. I don’t know where they went.”
Ichika tapped her head and stuck out her tongue. "Unlike us, they really want to leave this place, but this place..."
“Unfortunately, I happen to know them,” Mu Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept over Yi Xia’s head, a meaningful smile appearing on her face, “When they come back, remember to let me know… Xiang, it seems unnecessary.”
Before the words were even finished, two beautiful and incredibly fierce girls appeared at the entrance of the stairwell. As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, Yi Xia and the others stared at the two girls with wide eyes, their gazes all focused on their breasts.
No matter how many times I see it, I'm still so envious.
Yi Xia and the others weren't small either, but compared to Shui Lian and Kui, the difference was still quite significant. "Mu Xiaoxiao?!"
Shui Lian and Kui also saw Mu Xiaoxiao. The two girls couldn't hide their surprise and stunned expressions, especially Kui, whose expression was unusually blank. Sister Shui Lian said she would come here to rescue them, and Mu Xiaoxiao really came, and so quickly?! Did Sister Shui Lian already know that Mu Xiaoxiao was coming?
“Mu Jun, I knew you would come,” the long-haired Shui Lian walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, the complex emotions in her eyes completely concealed and replaced by a gentle smile. “It seems my premonition was correct.”
"How did you get in?" Kui glanced at her sister first, then asked, her gaze towards Mu Xiaoxiao equally complicated. "This is the paradise you're looking for, right? But last time I searched for half the gate and still couldn't get in."
"That's what I should be asking you. How did you get in?" Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Kui, did you get hit by a car again? Did you two sisters get in together this time?"
I saved him once before, and now he's doing it again?
“No, no,” Kui naturally remembered the time Mu Xiaoxiao saved her. The silver-haired girl blushed and shook her head. “I don’t know either. Mom said she was coming back, and my sister and I were going to the station to pick her up. Then we ended up here when we left.”
She didn't know how she got in.
Mu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, keeping her doubts to herself. "Touxia must have been worried sick about your disappearance. Anyway, it's good that you're alright. You don't seem to have encountered any danger."
In the empty room, Mu Xiaoxiao sat with Shui Lian and Kui. Yi Xia and the others had all left, leaving the space to Mu Xiaoxiao and her two companions.
After some time apart, the two sisters, Shui Lian and Kui, hadn't changed much, nor had Mu Xiaoxiao. However, seeing him in the amusement park this time calmed the two sisters' hearts, especially Kui. This eerie amusement park seemed beautiful, but she really didn't like it here.
I couldn't sleep at night, and I kept thinking about leaving. But when I saw Mu Xiaoxiao appear, my tension immediately subsided.
He had that kind of power; it was as if she had found a pillar of support. Kui looked up at the building; like Shui Lian, she had unknowingly become increasingly dependent on Mu Xiaoxiao. "This so-called paradise" was indeed a bit strange. "You've been here for several days?" But in reality, less than half a day had passed. Mu Xiaoxiao took the tea Shui Lian offered her. "Thank you."
"Mu Jun, you definitely have a way to get us out of here, right?" Shui Lian's words, though seemingly a question, were actually a statement of certainty. Unconsciously, she was filled with a strange confidence in this amazing young man, Mu Xiaoxiao. "Kui and I searched for a long time around here but couldn't find a way out."
"And according to Ichika and the others, this paradise is eternal," Shui Lian said, her pretty face filled with shock and worry. "For some reason, this paradise maintains an eternal summer, a summer that will never end."
Aoi bit her lip, her heart pounding just like her sister's. "Those legends about disappearing into the shadows, that's what they're like, right? A summer that never ends... It sounds terrifying."
After getting a general understanding of the situation from the sisters, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Don't worry about that. Since I was able to get in, I can take you out. But it's not just about taking you out; I also need to take Yixia and the others away."
Aoi bit her lip and let out a soft hum, "We're just incidental, aren't we?"
She herself seemed unaware, her tone sour, as if she were a little jealous, but Shui Lian noticed and glanced at her younger sister.
"After all, Mu Jun's original purpose was this place, and those girls," Shui Lian understood and calmly revealed a gentle smile, but only she knew what she was really thinking.
"So you've been here for a few days and you're quite familiar with each other, right? Do you know anything about the six sisters? Is there anything strange about them?"
Kui and Shui Lian exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and hesitated before speaking, "We did spend a few days with those girls and got to know them quite well, but we didn't find anything strange about Miss Yi Xia and the others, except for their age."
Just thinking about how those girls were old enough to be her grandmother made her a little nervous. "Sister, I'm not like you. I feel like they have a way to leave here, but those girls don't seem willing to tell us or say it." Kui crossed her arms over her chest, her exaggeratedly full breasts bouncing.
"Really? I think Miss Ichika is quite frank."
Shui Lian tilted her head, touched her lips with her finger, and gave a cute, innocent look. "Er Xia and San Xia are also very good girls."
Isn't that good for us too?
“I didn’t say they were mean to us,” Aoi said to her sister with a hint of helplessness. “I just said they were hiding some secrets.”
Mu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands to draw their attention back. "It's certain there are secrets here, but I'll handle these matters. Shui Lian, Kui, you two shouldn't get involved."
Aoi pouted, "So you're going to take them out too?"
“After all, I promised Qixia,” Mu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, “and that’s why I came back this time, so I can’t go back on my word.”
Kui felt even more uncomfortable. The silver-haired beauty tightened her grip slightly. "But they don't seem very willing to leave. Mu-kun, are you going to force them?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled enigmatically, “If it comes to that, coercion isn’t out of the question, but it shouldn’t come to that. Based on my observation, it’s not that they don’t want to leave this place.”
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled but didn't answer. She just muttered to herself that there were exclamation marks above the heads of the six sisters, which were the signs of their wish lists. They were not unwilling to leave, but they suppressed their desires.
Even without Qi Xia's request, Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have let them go.
Chapter 201 Let's Find Our Youth Again
Leaving Shui Lian and Kui completely bewildered, Mu Xiaoxiao left the room and wandered around the old-fashioned school building. Apart from the seven sisters and Shui Lian and Kui, there was no one else around; it was quiet.
After wandering around this unremarkable school building for a while, he actually found a strange place with its main gate tightly closed and locked. "What is this?"
He knocked on the tightly closed iron gate, listened intently, but heard no sound from inside. Should he use his penetration ring to check? Just as he was about to act, the girl's exclamation behind him interrupted him, "Mu Jun? What are you doing here?"
“Miss Yi Xia,” Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and waved, “I’ve found a strange place. May I go in and take a look?”
"Of course not!" Shichika Ichika grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, stopping his reckless behavior. "This contains... Ming, things that are our secrets. No one else is allowed to see them, and frankly, those things aren't anything special, they're really boring."
"Come on, there are many more fun places here, I'll take you to see them."
“Miss Yi Xia is becoming more and more suspicious.” Mu Xiaoxiao did not break free from the girl’s small hand, letting her pull her away. However, Mu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and gently squeezed the touch of the girl’s small hand.
“Not suspicious at all. I already said that it’s a girl’s secret,” Qi Jia Yi Xia puffed out her pretty cheeks. As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Mu Xiao Xiao’s little actions. He was pinching her little hand, which made the ponytail girl blush instantly.
"Wow, boys these days are so bold! They actually take advantage of girls like this. If it were back in our time..."
"You were the one who stopped me first. Besides, I was just curious. Miss Ichika, you don't seem to be a ghost." "If she's not a ghost, how come she's been able to live for so long? Is it because time in the paradise is completely frozen in this eternal summer?"
“No, my sisters and I are all living, breathing human beings.” “Were we captured and brought here by the spirits?” Mu Xiaoxiao guessed.
Yi Xia pursed her lips and fell silent. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "It seems that Qi Xia told you a lot. That child... she has a very awkward personality and is very likable to us, yet she took the initiative to tell you these things... You two really didn't date?"
When the conversation turned to Qi Xia, Mu Xiaoxiao smoothly changed the subject, "She hates you? Qi Xia is clearly worried about you, which is why she asked for my help." Qi Xia remained silent in response.
“Miss Yixia, it seems you have something you can’t say. I can sense that you don’t really like this place as much as you say you do. To you, this place is just a cage,” Mu Xiaoxiao continued. Yixia’s hand loosened, but he didn’t grab her small hand.
Hold on tight.
"I think you can trust me. If you have any difficulties or troubles, feel free to tell me. After all... I am the person chosen by Qi Xia, aren't I?"
"Yi Xia showed clear signs of wavering; her resolve was wavering. The girl's ponytail swayed gently, her eyes filled with complex emotions. 'Mu Jun, you're really special, aren't you? You seem to possess a magical charm. Is it because we haven't seen a man in so long?'"
She stopped in her tracks. Unbeknownst to her, they had already left the school building and followed the river downstream. There was no road there, only a huge wall with no end in sight, seemingly insurmountable.
There was a lot of trash next to the wall. Yi Xia picked up a book from the ground, and Mu Xiaoxiao noticed with her sharp eyes that it was an outside book that had been published a few years ago.
“Things from the outside often end up here, and that’s how we learn about the outside world. It’s not just Sanxia; everyone is curious about the outside world and wants to leave this place. You’re right, this place is a cage for us.”
“But if we leave here, it will only make Qixia’s situation worse. Qixia is a genius, a genius at making weapons. All six of us sisters combined can’t compare to her. The monster’s true master is Qixia. To it, only Qixia is the most valuable.”
As Yixia explained, the exclamation mark above her head gradually became more serious.
As Mu Xiaoxiao had expected, the girls were unwilling to leave because they didn't want the disaster to affect their younger sister. In their eyes, the spirit was too terrifying, and they had been imprisoned here for decades without being able to fight against it.
"Yi Xia, is it really okay to tell him the truth?"
Voices of others came from the forest. Shichika looked over in surprise and found that her sisters had all come out of the woods. "You? What are you doing here?"
"I accidentally saw you coming down the mountain, and out of curiosity, I secretly followed you," Wu Xia said, sticking out her tongue. "Sister Yi Xia, you're so useless. You confessed everything so quickly. Are you so weak against men?"
"You all heard that?"
Yi Xia's face darkened. "That's not it at all. I just feel that... Mu Jun seems a little different. After all, he was the first man to come here, and he's someone Qi Xia trusts."
“That’s right. Qi Xia knows how terrifying that monster is better than anyone else, yet she still sent him to help us.” Er Xia nodded and smiled thoughtfully at Mu Xiaoxiao. “This means that Mu Jun is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Listening to the girls' chatter and chatter, especially the system notification sound, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that things were probably going well. "But this isn't just my decision, Erxia, what are your opinions?"
“You are our leader, so you can make the decision,” Si Xia and Wu Xia nodded in agreement. “We will all support you.”
After chatting for a while, the eldest sister, Shichika Ichika, finally made her decision. The pretty girl with the ponytail nodded vigorously, "I understand, Mu-kun..."
She turned around to face him, and her girlfriends also looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. Some had flickering eyes, some had excited expressions, and some had strange smiles. Everyone's reaction was different, but everyone's expression was the same, full of anticipation.
We're willing to leave with you, but we have a request... or rather, we're asking Mu Xiaoxiao to know what they want to say. The moment he saw the wish list appear, he had already predicted the six sisters' behavior. Damn, all six wish lists appearing at the same time, isn't this a huge windfall?
If you don't open for business for three years, you can live off it for three years once you do.
“I understand, I understand everything. Just tell me what you wish for, and I will help you fulfill it! Do you want revenge, or do you want to protect Qi Xia’s safety? It’s all very simple for me,” Mu Xiaoxiao said happily.
It's a bit strange, the wish list appeared, but why are there still question marks on it and it's not showing up?
Aren't their wishes to escape this place, or to seek revenge? "Neither, Mo Jun... can you be our boyfriend?" Pfft!!!
The usually composed Mu Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, almost slipping and falling. "What?!" she exclaimed, nearly thinking she had misheard.
But the system wouldn't make a mistake; the wish list proved everything. As Ichika spoke, her true wish surfaced and was revealed.
“The Seven Families are considered a large family in Kyushu. We’ve stayed at home since birth and rarely come into contact with the outside world,” Yoshika explained. “When we turned sixteen, we were imprisoned here by a Tsukumogami and made to make weapons for it, and that’s been going on ever since.”
Wu Xia hugged the back of her head with both hands, "So we are all girls who have never enjoyed our youth, and we all feel it's a pity."
