I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 70 Compensation Plan

The next day, when Bixi, the dean of the Demon Academy of Shenyue City, came to inspect the site, his face was gloomy and unsightly.

She didn't ask, "Where did the magical girl Kapok go?" nor did she ask, "Why does this lawn look like it's been ravaged by a fire and an earthquake?"

Instead, he looked up warily at the villa with half a wall broken, his mind wandering.

"Go."

Bixi gave an instruction to the magical girls accompanying her, and they began to repair the garden and buildings.

With the help of magic, it's actually not difficult, and it won't even take long to restore it to a state even newer than before.

After giving instructions to her subordinates, she came to Chen Mu, floated down, and said:

"This was my negligence, and I will take responsibility for it. I will pay for all the repairs and give you additional compensation."

"...I almost died in my own home last night."

Chen Mu had somehow moved a chair from his house and was sitting in the scorched ruins, looking like an old man supervising a construction site.

He was clearly dissatisfied with the compensation offered by Bixi, and tapped the armrest of his chair: "Trying to brush me off with money again, Dean?"

"you--"

Bixi gritted her teeth inwardly.

Even though she is the dean of this magic academy, one of the most powerful people in Miyuki City, and even the strongest magical girl here under normal circumstances.

Sometimes dealing with this man can be very difficult, which is why she doesn't want to come here to clean up his mess—it's so annoying!

"Lin Yongxi".

Chen Mu suddenly turned to the girl next to him and asked, "When will our invited media friends arrive?"

"Eh... um!"

Lin Yongxi was standing next to his chair. She was now fully recovered from her injuries, having received professional treatment from the magical girl from the Magic Academy.

She paused for only a moment, then quickly realized what her brother-in-law was planning, and replied firmly, "It should be soon!"

Upon hearing this, Bixi finally lowered her head helplessly and said:

"I still hope this matter doesn't get out..."

Chen Mu is a difficult person to deal with, not only because he is smart (there are plenty of smart people in the world), but also because his identity is very sensitive.

He is one of the few men in the world who can marry a magical girl. Unlike most couples who secretly marry or only say they are "ordinary people in society" without revealing their specific identities, Chen Mu is quite flamboyant and has actually given speeches in front of the stage. He also has the identity of "instructor", although it is just a nominal position.

But once he left the Demon Academy, few people knew that he held a nominal position…! That’s why Lin Yongxi was so surprised at the time.

Chen Mu's identity is no longer just himself; to the outside world, he represents the union of humans and magical girls, and is an important symbol of the united front.

Not to mention, his wife was the renowned "Dawn," a powerful magical girl revered and loved by many, and she is dead.

Heroes are already of high status, let alone heroes who have sacrificed themselves. As a martyr, Chen Mu has almost full buffs on him, and anyone who touches him will die.

If the media exposes this today, Lin Chaojing has only just died, and Chen Mu was attacked by a magical girl who stormed into his home and almost died...

Just thinking about this outcome and future developments makes me feel a headache.

"Not to mention, this happened just after that [Tide] left. If this gets out, my position as dean is over!"

Thinking of this, she could only reluctantly lower her stance and try to say, "Chen Mu, I really didn't want this to happen. You know, it's impossible for me to have allowed Mu Mian to attack you. If you died, I wouldn't be able to live well either. Her actions were indeed unexpected, and I'm truly sorry."

Bixi pointed to the house in front of her and said:

"To prevent the same thing from happening again, you can return to your original position in the Demon Academy, receive a promotion, and move into the Demon Academy. I will arrange the best accommodations for you, guaranteeing they are no less luxurious than this place. I will personally act as your bodyguard 24 hours a day to ensure your personal safety. Is that alright?"

"...It's impossible for me to work."

Chen Mu shook his head lightly.

To send him back to work at the Demon Academy now? What a joke! If that happens, he'll soon be Bixi's subordinate again.

It's not that simple.

Bixi knew that Chen Mu, with his personality, would definitely not want to be kicked out and then come back to eat his own sow's coffin, so she changed her mind and said, "If you don't want to leave here, that's fine too. I'll set up an array here, from raw materials to future maintenance, I'll take care of it all, and I guarantee to improve the defense level here. It will be impossible for a bud-level creature to break through."

"No, that won't do." Chen Mu still refused this suggestion.

And he refused even faster.

It wasn't that he didn't believe in Bixi's strength; as the only [Bud]-level magical girl in Shenyue City, her magic power alone was enough to crush all the other bud-level girls.

Moreover, Bixi is a renowned array master with insightful research in magical theory. Although she is not skilled in magical combat, she can still serve as the dean of a city, which shows how many outstanding contributions she made during the war. The magic array she inscribed can indeed make this place impregnable in an instant, which is no exaggeration.

The magical spatial structure and extremely complex arrays inside that Demon Academy clearly demonstrate that her cultivation in this field is far beyond that of ordinary people. If Bixi had set up a defensive magic array here, the situation like last night would never have happened; Mumian would have been exhausted to death fighting outside all night and still wouldn't have been able to get in.

The compensation terms sound good, but the cost of [Tourmaline] personally setting up the formation is extremely high, and she's too lazy to do it, making her even rarer.

But Chen Mu didn't believe her personally.

"If we let her set up a magic circle here, who knows what tricks she might pull? We'd probably be under close surveillance. How could I possibly agree to that!"

How could he allow others to sleep peacefully beside his bed? Chen Mu refused without even thinking. He had too many secrets that couldn't be exposed right now, and he absolutely couldn't agree to this plan.

"So what kind of compensation do you want?"

Bixi frowned. She had initially thought it would be possible, but upon reflection, she realized that perhaps Dawn had already laid some kind of backup plan here, otherwise Kapok wouldn't have...

But after both of my conditions were rejected, I'm really afraid this guy will suddenly make exorbitant demands.

Chen Mu paused for two seconds, then suddenly said:

"I don't need any material compensation. As for the money you gave me before, I haven't even spent it all yet, and I probably won't be able to spend it all in this lifetime."

He pointed to Lin Yongxi standing to the side: "What I want is for you to pre-select her as the champion of this year's junior group competition, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

Lin Yongxi was stunned:

"what?"
