"Well..."
Li Yi touched her friend request form.
I've rewritten the letter countless times, but I still don't have the courage to send it.
After reading it once at the place where my sister is remembered, I felt it needed to be revised...
Of course, the memorial site is the roadside where my sister finally died.
After all, she can't go back home now, and the cemetery is too far away for her to visit regularly.
Therefore, the only place I can visit to commemorate my sister is the roadside where she died.
Although the traces of the battle between Shion and her sister have been completely erased by the Beihai Civil Engineering Team, and the huge pit has been filled in.
But some traces were still left behind.
Li Yi erected a monument there, not exactly a tombstone, but simply a symbol to commemorate her sister.
Besides working at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, Li Yi would occasionally visit her sister's memorial to place some of the Miracle Seed that her sister had most wanted in her lifetime, which were, of course, replicas of the surrounding items.
There's also a bunch of merchandise related to Magical Girl Zhulu, which is my sister's favorite.
Then she took out the letter she had written to Jiang Si, and read it aloud to her sister.
After all, this was something her older sister suggested she do at the last minute, Li Yi wanted to do her best.
Aside from that, she didn't really have any worries to share with her sister.
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has arranged a new bedroom for her and put her in their accommodation.
Although they can no longer transform, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has always been very generous in its arrangements for retired magical girls, providing them with food and lodging, as well as work and other living expenses, which they can basically apply for.
The bureau was well aware of Li Yi's family situation, so applying for subsidies was quite easy; the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
So most of what they talked about was actually about the letters—as the last End Point of communication between the two sisters, mentioning the new letters gave Li Yi the illusion that her older sister was still alive...
In short, upon hearing An Shiyu's words, Li Yi subconsciously touched her friend request form.
I originally planned to write it better later and then have Keke help me submit it.
But suddenly, she felt she couldn't delay any longer.
"Pursuing Jiang Si?" Peony pulled Susan behind her, then repeated the question, "Uh, little sister An Shiyu, I have something to tell you, but please don't be afraid."
" Beihai is a big city, there are quite a few people named Jiang Si, for example, we know someone named Jiang Si too," Peony said, picking up the mouse and starting to operate in front of the computer, while Susan started taking notes.
"It just so happens that our Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's backend system can also access some citizen information. Although the information isn't updated very promptly, it can save you some trouble."
"Which Jiang Si are you looking for?"
An Shiyu nodded and began to recall seriously, "He's a bit short. He was already a bit short three years ago."
*Snap! Peony gently tapped the Enter key, and a photo immediately appeared on the screen. She then quickly rotated the monitor so that An Shiyu could see it.
An Shiyu quickly shook her head. "No, no, it's not a Shiba Inu."
Snap!
An Shiyu shook her head again. "It's not a cat, not a pet, but..."
After a pause, An Shiyu thought of the fox mask she wore during their previous reunion. "Compared to cats and dogs, it gives off a more fox-like vibe—mysterious, agile, and cunning."
Snap!
"It's not a real fox either." An Shiyu waved her hand, a puzzled look on her face. "I'm talking about a person."
Susan snatched the computer and glared at her friend.
Seeing Susan's "I'll break your legs if you keep playing like this" look, Peony gave an awkward laugh, picked up her Milk Tea, and took a sip to calm herself down.
Susan nodded to the confused girl. "Could you describe the person you're looking for in more detail?"
An Shiyu blinked and continued, "He's about 1.6 meters tall."
Peony was drinking Milk Tea, seemed to choke and started coughing.
"I understand, please continue." Susan began filtering the information in the software.
"Black hair, black eyes, somewhat delicate features, but sharp eyes, usually serious and unsmiling..."
Li Yi's gaze drifted, looking into the distance.
"The bus we were on was attacked by Calamity Beast. His parents died then, but he had a younger sister, I remember her name was Jiang Keke..."
Keke covered her face and sighed deeply. Susan shut down the computer expressionlessly. "We've come this far, what's the point of investigating anymore?"
An Shiyu tilted her head, looking at the four people who seemed a little strange, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
Peony, biting her straw, weakly pointed to the two girls sitting in the hall next to her.
" The Jiang Keke you mentioned, she's over there."
Startled for a moment, An Shiyu turned her head and glanced at Keke for a long time before suddenly realizing, "I... I remember now, I used to cling to Jiang Si Jiang Si and make her hold me..."
"Waaaaah, you, you can't talk nonsense!"
Keke nearly threw her Milk Tea away, waving her right hand wildly, "I didn't!"
Yiyi whispered from the side, "It's normal to like your older brother when you're little..."
I already said no more!
Seeing how averse Keke to talking about her childhood, An Shiyu immediately realized that she might have said something wrong.
He quickly added, "I'm sorry, I might have misremembered. I didn't think it through and just blurted it out. I apologize."
Such a sincere apology left Keke somewhat at a loss.
After all, An Shiyu wasn't lying...
She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and said softly, "No, it's nothing. Anyway, people tend to forget things from the past."
"Mmm, thank you Keke minding." An Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's been so long! Keke has grown so tall and beautiful!"
Keke wasn't very good at handling this kind of conversation, so she just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you..."
He immediately turned around and grabbed Li Yi's hand, whispering, "We're doomed, Yiyi, she's amazing."
Yiyi's consciousness was somewhat hazy, and she gave a vague "hmm".
An Shiyu tilted her head curiously, unaware of what the two girls were whispering about, but she didn't pay it any mind.
Since she's Jiang Si's sister, it's natural to try to build a good relationship and become friends...
"But Jiang Si already has a girlfriend."
Susan had been sitting calmly at the front desk, suddenly interjected.
An Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "You already... have a girlfriend?"
"Yes."
Susan's initially stiff expression gradually softened and turned indifferent. "If you're here to pursue Jiang Si, I'm sorry, you're late. You can go back now."
Peony immediately tugged at her friend, "Wow, what are you saying? A new magical girl finally arrives, and you're trying to kick her out?"
"They've come with ill intentions; we should persuade them to leave as soon as possible."
"How is it not good?"
"How can a magical girl who came for love protect the Beihai?" Susan said coldly. "On the contrary, she'll only cause us trouble. If she angers Shion, how will the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau get along with the Azure Cloud Sect? She should go and work for another Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. The Beihai is not suitable for you, Miss An Shiyu."
An Shiyu stood there helplessly, glancing back at the departing Shancha before lowering her head. After a long while, she said in a dejected tone, "Oh, I see. Well, that's such a pity."
Keke and Li Yi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless, it seems that An Shiyu isn't the type to be easily Iris others, like Jiang Si having a girlfriend and then telling him to just find someone else.
With a personality like that, Jiang Si would be in real danger if he didn't have a girlfriend...
Peony glanced at her friend Susan, then at Li Yi —the two of them were no match for An Shiyu at all.
Fortunately, Shion had already won over Jiang Si early on.
Feeling relieved, Peony continued, " Beihai still lacks magical girls, so her willingness to stay at the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is a good thing for us. Besides, An Shiyu isn't the kind of bad girl who would ruin someone else's relationship, is she? An Shiyu?"
An Shiyu, who had been stunned for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
She murmured to herself, intending to say something polite and polite, but Keke next to her suddenly asked with some concern, "Why are you crying?"
"Huh?" An Shiyu touched her face and found that there were indeed tears. She hadn't noticed them, but the tears kept falling. She wanted to wipe them away, not wanting others to see her looking so disheveled. "I... I didn't mean to cry."
But the more I wiped, the more there was. Finally, I squatted down.
"... I'm sorry, I meant to, I didn't want to cry. I'm sorry for causing you all trouble, but... but the tears just came out on their own, they didn't listen to me. Really, I'm sorry..."
Hearing An Shiyu struggling to suppress her sobs, and still explaining and apologizing.
Susan, who had initially intended to kick them out, swallowed back her harsh words and glared at Peony beside her, "Look at you, you made her cry."
"Hey, you were the one who said Jiang Si had a girlfriend first, so why are you blaming me..."
Keke squatted down beside her and gently touched An Shiyu's hair.
The soft, warm red hair trembled slightly, and Shi Xin felt an overwhelming pang of pity for it. Keke whispered a comforting word:
"Don't cry. Even though Jiang Si has someone she likes, you can still be friends. You can only have one lover, but you can have many friends. You can definitely be good friends, right?"
An Shiyu, her face streaked with tears, tried to wipe them away, sobbing, "Um, um, it's just that, the thought of possibly not being able to talk to Jiang Si anymore, not being able to see him, makes me unable to hold back... And, and, leaving Beihai, I don't know where to go..."
Peony glanced at Susan. "You made her cry, you have to take responsibility, right?"
"What's it to me?" Susan curled her lip. "She insists on staying at the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau as a laborer. Let her be; I can't stop her."
"I knew you, Susan, were the best person—sharp-tongued but kind-hearted..."
"Roll."
While Keke wiped away An Shiyu's tears and helped her up, she hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Then, would you like to come stay at my place for a while?"
An Shiyu's crying subsided. She sniffled, her voice still choked with sobs, "Is it okay?"
"Of course, our house is big enough, one more person won't hurt. Besides, Jiang Si isn't home lately, and I've been feeling quite lonely living alone..."
With a "thud," Li Yi's Milk Tea fell to the ground.
Everyone looked over. Li Yi remained silent for a moment, then looked down at the shattered Milk Tea cup and said seriously:
"I want to go too."
Sitting cross-legged atop a high-rise building in BH City, Jiang Si, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, slowly opened her eyes.
"My innate Spell has been successfully mastered."
Where is it finished? Wasn't it like this from the beginning?
Jiang Si was slightly taken aback, and used her spiritual sense to look inside her body.
It was actually that Nascent Soul Black Dragon; his thoughts were connected to his!
Jiang Si smiled slightly, showing no annoyance.
This means that one's realm has taken another step forward, truly achieving a connection with the mind of Nascent Soul cultivator.
This is something to celebrate.
"The trip to Hulin City served two purposes: firstly, to test my modified [ Spell: Ten Thousand Beasts, One Heart ] in actual combat after my Nascent Soul stage; and secondly, to identify as many flaws as possible in my Nascent Soul stage in preparation for perfecting Nascent Soul. It seems both objectives have been achieved so far."
The art of beast taming was unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't grasp the essentials. Ultimately, he had to try it out in real combat.
The three hundred B-level Calamity Beast in Hulin City gave him further insights into the methods of controlling Calamity Beast.
He connected the complex determinants within them, using fear as the core of the contagion.
It possesses exceptional control over large numbers of low-level Calamity Beast.
Once the ever-spreading fear is consolidated, it can easily break through the defenses of the advanced Calamity Beast.
Not only can one attempt to control A-level Calamity Beast.
As long as there are enough Calamity Beast to nourish the fear, they will continuously flow into one's nascent Nascent Soul.
Both the control over the Nascent Soul and the strength of the Nascent Soul will be further enhanced!
This is the true advantage of the Beast Taming style: it makes the controlled beasts elevate their master, willingly becoming the master's cultivation resources. The result of this is the [Earth-grade Spell - Ten Thousand Beasts, One Heart ]!
Then he heard the Black Dragon mutter in its mind, "Have you been struck by lightning and gone mad? From beginning to end, besides learning how to control the Calamity Beast, what the hell have you mastered?"
"That's not true. Now that we are of one mind, this is proof that our innate Spell have been successfully cultivated."
Bullshit! I'm being assimilated by you! What do you mean by telepathy?! You're trying to control my brain, I'm becoming your puppet, of course we're telepathically connected!
Ignoring the ramblings of the Nascent Soul, Jiang Si simply focused on sensing her own power.
Having verified his innate Spell, and with the addition of a large amount of Filthy Magic Power —no, immortal power—his nascent Nascent Soul power became even more abundant, and his realm was stabilized once again, allowing him to take a step forward.
Now that his physical body is capable of fighting against Full Blossom, even a regular Full Blossom might not be his match.
However, it still hasn't reached the ideal level.
In Jiang Si's own view, she still needed to complete the nascent Nascent Soul form; a single innate Spell was not enough.
My natal magic weapon needs to be urged on Ruoyun in Jiangming City. She's given so much time and resources; there should be some results by now.
As for the cultivation method, it's a bit of a pity that it's still missing the Complete Witch Transformation Mystic Art from the Witch Association. This thing is hard to find, so I can only continue to work hard in the future, but I must get my hands on it.
However, the problem of the original body's rapid advancement and unstable cultivation level, resulting in insufficient immortal power reserves compared to a true Golden Core Stage cultivator, which required further refinement, has been largely addressed thanks to the selfless dedication of the Holy Church Member. The search for the Holy Church Member should continue.
The missing piece of innate energy is still unclear; we can only wait for the right opportunity...
In this way, he finally had a clearer view of the road ahead.
Although his original body realm is now that of a Nascent Soul after tribulation, he can only be compared with the Early Golden Core and Middle Golden Core realm. He can only show strength that surpasses the Full Blossom because of his profound foundation.
In contrast, the transformed realm has reached the Nascent Soul Formation Stage —that is, Half-Step Full Bloom. Considering that Half-Step Full Bloom might be difficult for people to understand, Jiang Si has also defined a transitional state between the Peak Golden Core and Nascent Soul.
Shion is clearly in this state right now!
Even if he could make up for the deficiencies of the Nascent Soul.
But to the average person, the difference between these two is like that between orthodox and unorthodox sects, between those who attain enlightenment and those who follow heterodox paths, between true and false teachings—they are worlds apart, with a difference in social standing!
Therefore, although it only includes his speculation, the existing two paths of cultivation—the path of the magical girl with pure magic and the path of the Perfect Witch witch with Filthy Magic Power— can both be called the orthodox paths of this world, and can be called—
[ The Supreme Unity Yin-Yang Orthodox Cultivation Dao ]!
"Dude, are these the proper names for these two forces? Have you got your worldview wrong?"
The path of Nascent Soul the Nascent Soul of a Calamity Beast is called the [ Method of Cultivating Truth Through Falsehood ].
"So you know it's fake."
Thus, the entire system can be referred to as the so-called " Two Daos, Three Heavenly Paths ".
"Wait, what do you mean by two paths and three days..." Jiang Si stopped mid-sentence, suppressing the Nascent Soul to avoid disrupting his train of thought.
All the major paths he can find now are two orthodox cultivation paths plus one unorthodox path.
However, in Jiang Si's view, there is no such thing as right or wrong; as long as it is the path he takes, then it is orthodox!
Therefore, his current true form, the Calamity Beast Technique, also has a real name—
[Borrowing the false to cultivate the true, the Way of Heaven and Earth is mine alone!]
However, since this path is newly opened, there are still far too many areas that need to be improved. I'll wait until I've accomplished something far surpassing what my predecessors have achieved before spreading my fame far and wide.
The biggest problem now lies in the Complete Witch path of [ Supreme Unity Yin-Yang Orthodox Cultivation Dao ].
The territories of the three major Witch Association in East China have been largely cleared out, but no information on related cultivation techniques has been found.
To learn about the Complete Witch Transformation Mystic Art, one would likely need to go to the headquarters of the Witch Association to obtain relevant information.
But even the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau didn't know where the Witch Association's headquarters were located.
So-called heretical and evil ways are truly hateful, always obstructing the path to heaven.
If I had been given the Complete Witch transformation long ago, why would I be wasting my time here? I should have already mastered the [ Supreme Unity Yin-Yang Orthodox Cultivation Dao ] and taken another step forward on the path of the Great Dao.
In the hands of those lesser cultivators, whether it be rare treasures or profound techniques, it would all be a waste of resources, waiting for them to make the most of them.
Thinking of this, he stopped meditating and got up to circulate his immortal power for two Great Zhou.
Without any obstruction, the Nascent Soul could mobilize immortal power much faster.
Just as I was about to go home, Winter Lord, as white as ice flowers, came up from behind me.
Jiang Si glanced back, but Yumo had been hiding behind her, was nowhere to be seen.
He was probably driven away by Winter Lord.
"We've received news from the Shuangsheng." Winter Lord straightened his hair and said seriously, "Currently, the Witch Association and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau are preparing to enter the Mental Image Remnants. The Mental Image Remnants were left behind by the Full Bloom Magical Girl, and there might still be the Full Bloom Magical Girl's undying power and consciousness inside. If we can get in, we might be able to learn the secret of the Full Bloom realm."
Jiang Si nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back, and murmured:
"Has it finally arrived? The forbidden zone of life, and the Great Emperor severed himself!"
It seems we've exhausted all our potential in the immortal path; I'm left with nothing but dregs. I'm quite satisfied with the current results and need to rest for a while. Thank you all for your support, dear readers. Lately, I've been sitting all day, and my back and head are starting to ache. I need to exercise. Everyone, please take care of your health!
