"Iron Man is nothing to worry about, merely an exoskeleton battle suit. But this magician named Gulaf, the spells he uses are truly astonishing. As for this so-called magic, which Earth’s humans speak of, we know nothing about it. We must capture a few magicians for research. Perhaps it will greatly benefit our technological development!"

"Understood. I will send my modified agents to America to search for these magicians. If the opportunity arises, we will capture a few and bring them back."

"By the way, how is the cultivation of the Meibada progressing?"

"We have cultivated twenty so far. After all, the materials needed to cultivate Meibada are scarce on Earth. We estimate that there will only be enough to raise fifty mature Meibada."

"Twenty? Continue with the cultivation! Remember, Meibada is our secret weapon. We need to use them to reclaim Simox Star from those rebels. Once fifty Meibada are ready, it will be time for our counterattack. When Simox Star is ours again, Earth will become our slave planet! Hahaha..."

...

Because Xiao Xie fabricated a magician guild out of thin air, countless spies have now poured into America. Previously, Iron Man’s appearance in China could still be explained by technology. But Gulaf, who appeared on Yoshida Island, was a magician capable of casting powerful spells—so powerful, he froze the entire island.

Japan tried to prevent other countries from investigating Yoshida Island, but facing the influence of more than ten nations, they had no choice—unless they wished for national destruction, they dared not utter a word of objection.

After observing Yoshida Island, representatives from various countries discovered that the ice covering the island was as hard as steel. Calculations showed that, without external interference, it would take a year for the ice to begin melting under normal circumstances.

This revelation made world leaders even more interested in magicians. Beyond the dazzling spells of legend, what fascinated them most were magical potions: elixirs of youth, pills for eternal springtime, and those granting immortality. Each potion held irresistible allure for these leaders, and now America was in trouble.

Not only did magic enthusiasts from all over the world flock to America, but spies from various countries did as well. The number of openly identified spies exceeded ten thousand, and those hidden were surely even more numerous. Yet even knowing they were spies, America could not possibly arrest them all. Instead, they deployed people to monitor them covertly, and as long as they committed no crimes, they were allowed to roam as they pleased.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Though no one found a magician in America, many believed that ordinary people simply could not discover the entrance to the magical world—after all, they had watched Harry Potter. Some even imitated scenes from the movie, running headlong into pillars at train stations, hoping to find the gateway to magic.

Xiao Xie had no idea his whimsical invention of a magician guild would attract so many to America. The flood of foreigners caused crime rates to soar, plunging the country into chaos. Police stations everywhere struggled to cope with the surge in assaults, and ironically, many American officers were themselves fans of magic.

Within the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy," after nearly three months of filming, the drama was nearing completion.

"Qianqian, what are you reading?" Xiao Xie asked Liu Yifei.

"Look." Liu Yifei waved the book in her hand. On the cover were the large letters: Harry Potter.

"Qianqian, you're reading Harry Potter too? So am I!" Beside her, Baby took a copy of Harry Potter out of her bag and smiled.

Due to Xiao Xie's transformation spell, which turned him into Gulaf and froze Yoshida Island, a craze for magic had swept the globe. The streets were filled with people in black robes, holding wands, cosplaying as magicians.

"Xiao Xie, did you need something?" Liu Yifei asked.

"I wanted to invite you and Baby to shoot an MV," Xiao Xie replied with a smile.

"Of course!" Liu Yifei agreed immediately, without asking what the MV was about.

"I'm always ready," Baby said sweetly.

Xiao Xie nodded, took out two small scripts, and handed them to them. "Take a look at these scripts."

He gave Liu Yifei the script for the "Myth" MV and Baby the script for the "Fairy Tale" MV.

"Can we start filming tomorrow?" Xiao Xie asked.

"Yes," Liu Yifei and Baby replied in unison.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xie gathered Liu Yifei and Baby for the MV shoot. Compared to filming a drama, shooting an MV was much simpler for them.

Xiao Xie wore a suit of red armor, embodying the imposing image of a general, while Liu Yifei was dressed in a long white gown.

"In my dreams, your familiar face
You are the gentle warmth I guard
Even if tears flood the earth and sky
I will not let go
Every moment of lonely endurance
Only because I made a promise
The familiar emotion between us
Love now awakens"

Accompanied by the beautiful melody, Liu Yifei, lying on a bamboo mat in her white dress, once again dreamed of that figure. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, donned a fur coat, and pushed open the wooden door to step outside.

"Through the ages, only love is the eternal legend
Rising and falling tides never break our promise of true love
Twists of pain and entanglement
How many nights of struggle
Lonely hands bind us together, never to part again
Snow on the pillow seals our love
Only a sincere embrace can thaw it
The fire on the hearth flickers in the wind
Never extinguished, never ending
Waiting for flowers to bloom, spring comes and goes
The ruthless years laugh at my obsession
My heart is like steel, unmoved by the world's desolation
Longing always stays by my side"

Standing at the doorway, Liu Yifei tightened her fur coat, gazing into the distance. She was waiting for her beloved to return from battle.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop..."

A sound of hooves grew nearer, until finally a fiery figure appeared in the distance, melting away the winter snow.

The white figure and the red figure embraced, their shadows stretching long beneath the sunset, gradually merging into one. The scene froze at that moment.

"So beautiful! Amazing!" Baby clapped her hands enthusiastically. Watching Xiao Xie and Liu Yifei’s performance, she found herself drawn into the story, and when they finally embraced, she couldn’t help but applaud.

"That’s enough," Xiao Xie said, withdrawing the deep emotion from his eyes and releasing Liu Yifei. He smiled at her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Oh." Liu Yifei nodded, feeling a trace of reluctance as Xiao Xie's hands left her waist.

"All right, it's my turn to shoot the MV!" Baby said eagerly. She had been envious while watching Xiao Xie and Liu Yifei’s scene.

"Wait a moment, I’ll go change," Xiao Xie said, smiling at Baby, who was already dressed.

Having watched the "Fairy Tale" MV countless times in his previous life, Xiao Xie had been deeply moved, so he planned to faithfully recreate Guang Liang’s creative vision.

In the school auditorium, lights shone brilliantly in the night. A piano was pushed onto the stage.

Xiao Xie, dressed in a white suit, walked onto the stage. Applause erupted. He bowed deeply, then calmly walked to the piano.

He seemed to hear Baby’s distant, ethereal voice: "Go for it!"

Xiao Xie slowly took out his phone, dialed that familiar number, and sat at the piano.

"It's been so long since I heard you
Tell me your favorite story
I've thought about it for a long time, and now I'm anxious
Did I do something wrong again?"

As the music began, the scene shifted to a hospital. In the ward, a pale hand gently played along with the melody.

Xiao Xie and Baby recalled their beautiful past together.

A quiet room, a relaxed mood. Xiao Xie practiced piano earnestly while Baby lounged on the sofa. Suddenly, Baby stood up, her legs crossed, walked over to Xiao Xie, and with her slender fingers corrected his mistakes, playing the correct melody for him. She pressed out the notes of "Fairy Tale," then quietly returned to the sofa.
