Chapter 64: The Return of Wish Power
“It’s really happening…”
Shiyu Qianyi’s eyes widened, full of disbelief. Was she dreaming?
Just a moment ago, she had muttered to herself, and poof! Night Lan appeared.
Could it be she had some magical ability to summon people?
“Wait, does that mean if I say ‘Night Lan, come here,’ she’ll just appear by my side?” Shiyu couldn’t help but ask.
“Huh?” Night Lan looked dazed, then hesitated to reply. “A whole night has passed! Now it’s the next day; it’s perfectly normal for me to show up, right? But you seem to have zero sense of time. Explaining this to you is just a waste of breath.”
Night Lan waved off the explanation.
“Is that so?”
“Yes! Let’s not dwell on that. Ready for another fun day at the amusement park? Are you prepared to spend an entire day in the Ferris wheel?”
For regular folks, being stuck in a quiet Ferris wheel cabin would be torture!
But maybe only Shiyu Qianyi wouldn’t care about such trivialities.
She loved just sitting there.
Her purity of spirit made her easy to please.
But Night Lan? She’d get bored pretty fast.
If they stuck around for too long, she’d find herself yawning in seconds.
But Night Lan isn’t just Night Lan. She can also be Night Star!
Night Star is free!
Even if Night Lan and Shiyu Qianyi were sealed away in that Ferris wheel cabin, it didn’t matter!
Night Star’s existence could solve that problem.
Multitasking is a powerful skill!
Night Lan had made up her mind.
“Let’s roll!”
“Hmm…”
Shiyu’s eyes sparkled with desire.
Night Lan was showering her with care.
That care was pure, coming from her perspective, giving her everything she could want.
Since the day she was born, Shiyu had never felt such fulfillment.
No one else could do that—not even Li Yan.
Only Night Lan could manage it.
Tears sparkled at the corners of Shiyu’s eyes, almost as if she’d been touched at her very core.
Night Lan’s expression stiffened, her panic surfacing.
“Huh? Hey?! What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?”
Though Night Lan knew Shiyu was a pessimistic crybaby, seeing her cry right in front of her sent her into a tizzy.
It was like she was the one who had caused the tears!
Shiyu gently shook her head, flashing a grateful smile as she took Night Lan’s hand.
“Thank you… I’m just so happy…”
Night Lan absolutely had no idea how much of an emotional impact her reappearance had on Shiyu.
She was currently the only one capable of suppressing Shiyu’s pessimism.
Yesterday, Shiyu had clung to the belief that Night Lan would show up again.
Not like those who came close out of interest only to leave coldly after.
Not even Li Yan, who had picked her up, could manage that.
Even if Li Yan insisted he wouldn’t abandon her and would help her till the end, it didn’t erase that pessimism.
Li Yan had no romantic feelings for her, only helping for some ulterior motive.
It was this feeling that made Shiyu pessimistic, believing she would end up alone.
But Night Lan was different.
She genuinely cared about her and showered her with love.
By her actions, she proved that Shiyu’s pessimism was misplaced.
“Phew~”
Night Lan, understanding Shiyu’s feelings, let out a sigh of relief.
What a relief; she thought she had upset Shiyu!
Turns out, she was just moved!
Night Lan flashed a relaxed smile.
“This is nothing for me! Meeting someone as cute as you is my luck!”
Little Lolis are treasures for Loli fans!
Night Lan felt incredibly fortunate to meet Star Sheng and Shiyu Qianyi in Pinghaishi.
They were powerful.
Like, “Extraordinary Star” powerful!
But she had no grand ambitions—just wanted to laze around and lend a hand to those in need.
Star Sheng and Shiyu among them.
Night Lan had no lofty ideals or saintly thoughts.
She just sees what she wants to see and helps whom she wants to help.
Sticking to a small circle.
Since Star Sheng and Shiyu appeared in her view, of course, she would make an effort to assist them.
“Alright, let’s head out! Today’s going to be another great day!”
“Yep.”
Night Lan took Shiyu Qianyi’s hand, and they vanished from the room.
Shiyu and Star Sheng had one thing in common.
They both needed companionship.
And this was super easy for Night Lan.
A day passed.
Night Lan and Shiyu had claimed a cabin on the Ferris wheel.
Throughout this time, it wasn’t all silent, either.
Night Lan engaged Shiyu in conversation.
You know, normal girl stuff.
Although Night Lan had no clue if the topics she broached were even considered “normal girl” conversations.
Anyway, as long as they were having fun!
For the most part, it was Night Lan doing the talking, while Shiyu just listened.
Evening rolled around again.
Night Lan escorted Shiyu back to the basement and returned to the Night Watcher Base.
She lay on the bed in the lounge, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Just a moment ago…
Her wish power had returned!
And it was coming back pretty fast!
At the same time, Night Lan was eager to act.
Because Shiyu was even easier to please than Star Sheng.
In just two days, Night Lan could totally win Shiyu over!
What she wanted was simple—just a bit of love from others.
The time spent together in the Ferris wheel had left Shiyu feeling incredibly fulfilled.
Once the conditions were met, she might just disappear like Star Sheng did before.
But Night Lan really didn’t want Little Loli disappearing in front of her.
Having gone through what happened with Star Sheng, she wasn’t keen on a repeat episode.
So Night Lan had made a decision.
She would actively interfere with Shiyu Qianyi’s fate!
The sooner, the better!
As for what kind of interference…
“I still need to observe a bit.”
Although Night Lan wasn’t above directly wishing for Shiyu to become human again, that wasn’t her style.
If possible, she wanted to understand Shiyu’s past and the reason behind her becoming a Star Eclipse.
Just knowing this detail while intervening would satisfy Night Lan.
Honestly, she had a rather mischievous side to her.
Like, leaving familiar memories behind for those being saved in a timeline called “the past.”
Isn’t that fun?
Just like with Star Sheng.
After all, it wouldn’t disrupt history enough to cause chaos. She could play around to her heart’s content.
Probably.
Plus, Night Lan noticed something.
The power of correction had changed.
Previously, when correcting the timeline, it seemed to fix everything related.
The range was broader, and the effects were more intense.
But after Star Sheng’s incident, it felt like only Star Sheng’s existence had been corrected.
The actions she took while in her Star Eclipse state hadn’t changed; they still remained recorded in the annals of history.
It felt like the stakes had gone down.
Then, Night Lan attempted to wish to know the reason and quickly received a response from the Wish Machine.
Oh.
So, there’s small-scale and large-scale corrections.
She can choose freely!
Small-scale corrections can reduce the adverse effects of Night Lan’s wishes.
Last time, she’d overdone it and passed out.
The Wish Princess automatically picked the lowest level of intervention.
And this time, it didn’t require a cost.
If she had taken something from Star Sheng, maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad.
But the one wishing wasn’t Star Sheng; it was Night Lan herself.
In this case, she could only opt for the minimal correction.
Otherwise, when Night Lan woke up afterward, she’d sleep for ages—possibly days!
Knowing this, Night Lan nodded thoughtfully.
“Well, isn’t that quite nice?”
After all, it would still help her achieve her goal.
No big deal!
