After spending his A Lifetime of Passing Years restoring some of the factory's facilities, Jiang Si didn't waste any more energy.
If he does everything himself, then why is he collecting so much junk? This factory is actually a product of Yun Ke's own magic.
It's important to know that the salary at the New Witch Association far exceeds the basic salary at the Witch Association, with no less bonuses or overtime pay, and no deductions for weekday holidays.
If you can't even do this much work, you might as well get out of here.
Although Yun Ke learned some of Xilan's flattery skills, she didn't learn Xilan's management skills very well.
I always feel that the factory work isn't very intensive.
This is a situation that would never have happened when Xilan was around; she would have made sure everyone had a full schedule.
However, there was no other way, since Xilan had become the main person in charge of this Full Bloom Plan —although she didn't know how the Prince had chosen her, she had been in contact with other Old World during this time.
They were too busy dealing with the New Witch Association.
Jiang Si could only sigh at this, thinking that while there are many discerning judges of character in this world, truly exceptional individuals are hard to find.
The salaries of the New Witch Association naturally be reduced later. It's not that they're short of money, but they feel resentful seeing people who don't work getting paid.
Although the factory was seized by the Witch Association, they actually obtained quite a few Witch Potion. After replenishing some potions, Jiang Si took the White Fox back to Beihai.
On the one hand, we need to find her a tutor, as the White Fox's aversion to school is too severe; first of all, we need to help her find the joy of cultivation.
On the other hand, Keke is already going home. Now that she has the territory with the headquarters, there is no need for her to stay there any longer.
Although Beihai has the Azure Cloud Sect, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau still has a lot of work to do, and this paid exchange meeting only lasts a few days.
If you don't go to work at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau after these few days, you won't get paid.
Ah, capital.
It's forever flowing with filthy blood, and they even try to make money off magical girls.
In any case, Keke should try to earn more money from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau so she can become independent sooner.
Living separately afterwards would give us more freedom.
Ever since the incident Mental Image Remnants, Keke has always been careful to find out where she is whenever she goes out.
It was clear that she was afraid of bothering herself, so she always asked indirectly if she could go together.
After she went to the General Administration, she would send me a message every night, telling me what she had done, and also asking me what I was doing.
Jiang Si would reply occasionally, and sometimes she wouldn't. Keke wouldn't keep sending messages either; she'd only send one message a day in the evening, and then go to sleep. It wasn't too annoying; she treated it like a text message from a phone service provider.
That's great. Even if I don't want to be a magical girl anymore, I can still work as a customer service representative.
After being apart for a long time, I should get used to it.
The admission notice from Yanji University has arrived, so we'll have to live separately sooner or later.
The only thing I'm worried about is Keke will study hard when I'm not home. Some children who are strictly disciplined when they are young tend to be more indulgent when they grow up and have more freedom.
He has been quite strict with Keke's upbringing and management over the past three years.
As a result, after becoming a magical girl and letting loose a little, she started to revert to her primal nature in a vengeful way.
They can't handle praise; once they're praised, they'll backfire.
The repressive style of education will continue to be the main approach in the future.
Regardless, we still need to make sure Keke into a good university and becomes financially independent, then we can stop worrying about her...
He was so engrossed in thinking about his plans that he completely forgot about the White Fox following behind him.
After all, the White Fox was just too quiet.
This is probably her only redeeming quality.
He doesn't talk much and rarely does anything meaningless.
Even after removing her mask and revealing her face, the White Fox didn't react much.
Ever since Jiang Si told him to study hard, White Fox has spent almost all his time reading since they met.
After arriving in Beihai, Jiang Si for a moment and decided to change the White Fox's clothes first.
This guy's clothes are actually quite unique; clothes from the Old World have always been distinctive, possessing a kind of primal, wild beauty.
Suitable for runway shows, but not so suitable for everyday life.
The White Fox's clothes, more like a spacesuit, look a bit clumsy and attract considerable attention when it walks down the street.
Even so, some young people still try to come over and say hello.
After all, the White Fox was indeed very beautiful, although its pair of white to transparent pupils were somewhat unusual.
However, heterochromia, if one is pretty, can be quite a nice embellishment.
Not to mention that in the world of magical girls, heterochromia is almost a universal trend; in a way, it's become a fashion statement.
As for the White Fox herself, she just stared at her phone the whole way, diligently reading about the Doumo Continent, except for following him around like a little tagalong.
It basically doesn't react to any external interference.
As long as this side doesn't speak, the White Fox will absolutely not speak either.
Moreover, as the time went on, the White Fox's expression gradually softened.
I guess I'm gradually starting to appreciate the joy of reading.
After strolling around the streets, Jiang Si walked into a women's clothing store that Bingtang really liked.
In the past, some of Keke's clothes were bought here by Bingtang, who would then give them to Keke as gifts.
Jiang Si remembered this place because there was a gym across the street.
However, he had never actually been to the gym across from the women's clothing store, but Jiang Si had a good impression of it because they would give away some small fitness equipment during their promotions.
"Don't watch it for now."
After stopping in the women's clothing store, he turned his head and said something.
The White Fox let out a long sigh.
You could faintly hear the weariness in his voice.
Shaking her head, Jiang Si's opinion of the girl in front of her dropped even further.
"Go change your clothes; your outfit is too conspicuous."
Yes, sir.
So he watched as the White Fox walked straight into the clothing store, and the sales assistant immediately came up to her with a smile and began to introduce the clothes.
As it turned out, this Sunzi just grabbed a piece of clothing that fit him and started walking out.
The waiter, in a fit of panic, let out a series of primal screams.
"It's back, sir."
The security guards and waiters behind him chased after him, so White Fox tilted his head and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, let me handle this."
As he spoke, magic surged in his hands, and Blue Silver Grass grew on the ground, about to Blue Silver Bind.
Jiang Si gave her a sharp rap on the back of the head, instantly shattering her magic.
Grabbing this idiot and apologizing to the waiter, Jiang Si pulled out her black gold card to pay the bill.
The waiter's eyes widened when he saw the black gold card.
"Hey, sir, this dress doesn't really suit your girlfriend. We have a few better ones you could take a look at..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the White Fox knelt down on the ground with a thud, preparing to kowtow.
Jiang Si pulled him up, "No need."
"Oh."
"You won't need it anymore."
"Um."
The White Fox's sudden act of kowtowing startled the waiter.
Soon after, the waiter's expression changed to one of sympathy, pity, and admiration as he looked at Jiang Si.
He wore an expression that perfectly captured the touching sentiment of a wealthy young man who remained devoted to his girlfriend, who suffered from dementia and a stroke.
I've already imagined an 800-episode family drama in my mind, which is now developing to the point where I have a falling out with my family and am moving out to live independently with my girlfriend who has dementia...
Jiang Si was then respectfully ushered inside by the waiter, who then led the White Fox to change into three or four different outfits.
After changing into each outfit, he would pull it out and show it to Jiang Si so he could choose.
However, Jiang Si had said it was possible from the very first set.
He tried a whole bunch of things, and the waiter only stopped when he started to get impatient.
In the end, I bought them all.
After all, Jiang Si didn't want to argue with the salesperson anymore. She was indeed a top salesperson, very quick-witted, and kept saying how suitable every piece of clothing was for White Fox.
When she came out of the women's clothing store, the White Fox, who had changed her clothes, was obviously more eye-catching.
She wore a light white, thin sweater, soft in texture, with cuffs that just covered her wrists and draped over her fingers. The bottom half was a long black skirt that reached her bare ankles. The waiter also draped a light white chiffon scarf around her neck.
The White Fox, carrying a bunch of bags, trotted behind Jiang Si, looking just like a couple out shopping.
However, it looked a bit awkward that the boyfriend was walking ahead without carrying anything, while his girlfriend was carrying a bunch of things behind him...
"You've never been out on the street before?"
"Um."
This was the first time Jiang Si had ever met someone even less talkative than him, and she felt a headache coming on.
"Haven't you had any contact with people?"
"Um."
Then the White Fox added, " The Jade Fox said, no need."
That Jade Fox is useless; it ruined my account.
It's safe to say that you really shouldn't let elderly people take care of children, not even a magical old lady.
This further solidified my resolve to Kongzheng the Dao Fruit of [Magical Girl Youth Forever]...
Carrying the bag, the White Fox followed Jiang Si for a while before saying again, "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome, pay me back later."
"Oh."
Jiang Si didn't intend to waste money on this kind of person.
Even if he had 10 billion, every penny would have to be spent meaningfully, and he wouldn't give up any money that could be picked up for free...
I turned my head and looked at the White Fox, who had hung the bags on her arm and continued reading diligently.
You'd think she was some kind of internet addict.
"I advise you to give up," Jiang Si said, looking at her home as it drew closer. "Your talent isn't up to par."
The White Fox paused slightly, and the strands of hair that had been draped over her temples fell down, fluttering in front of her eyebrows.
Slightly disheveled, the White Fox, with a bag slung over its arm, couldn't immediately reach out to tidy itself up. It simply said softly, "Sir, I don't want to give up."
This isn't about giving up or not.
Jiang Si said calmly, "Don't waste your time on things that are meaningless and hopeless."
"No, that's a waste of time, sir."
She seemed somewhat lost and flustered, as if the clothes on her arms were too heavy for her to bear. "This is all I can do."
The advantage of communicating with White Fox is that you don't have to listen to much nonsense.
The downside is that Jiang Si understands her meaning without needing to say much.
"You can't do it." Jiang Si simply shook her head. "Purpose isn't the problem. Everyone has a purpose. On the path of cultivation, there are those who seek revenge, those who strive to become stronger, and those who seek immortality. Having a firm purpose isn't a bad thing, but while having a firm purpose, enjoying the process is the only way to go far enough on the path of cultivation."
"But you only care about the goal; you don't care about the process at all, or rather, you feel tormented by it."
"You won't reach the End Point, and most importantly, you can't summon miracles."
With each word spoken, the White Fox's pupils gradually dimmed, their once clear and ethereal pupils suddenly taking on a sense of emptiness and darkness.
"Only a strong desire can bring about a miracle. You say you want to avenge the Jade Fox, but you don't have that strong a desire."
The emotions are too indifferent.
Whether it's the Path of Ruthlessness or the Path of Extreme Emotion, the essence is how to exchange intense emotions for power.
Magical girls are like this, and so are witches.
The girl before him was utterly empty.
There was no emotion, no hope, and no despair.
They simply followed the steps, treating it as a job to complete the task.
It's meaningless.
"Gentlemen."
The girl's lips moved, as if she were murmuring, "Is it impossible without feelings?"
"Um."
This time, Jiang Si was too lazy to say anything.
However, the girl seemed somewhat lost and didn't know what to say.
The two of them walked quietly to the fork in the road. Jiang Si stopped. "Let's stop here. You can either go back to find the Prince or go back to the New Witch Association. Find yourself a job and don't need to follow me anymore."
"But."
Just as Jiang Si was about to leave, the White Fox finally spoke.
"Sir, only with you is there a chance..."
"That's none of my business. I'm not interested in your affairs."
Jiang Si crossed the road. "Follow me again, and I'll kill you."
The chilling killing intent, so real it was utterly genuine, seemed to solidify into a solid wall.
This forced the White Fox to stop in its tracks.
The girl just stared blankly and helplessly at the departing figure, standing motionless in the distance.
For Jiang Si, cultivating the World Ghost of the Old World into formidable opponents would be a good choice.
Moreover, there is no doubt that the White Fox was part of the Prince's Full Bloom Plan.
That's why Jiang Si had expectations and patience for her.
Unfortunately, the White Fox could not meet his expectations.
How can World Ghost be even worse than Calamity Beast...?
For him, this was nothing more than a trivial incident.
After returning home, I continued to study my Mental Image Domain.
He has yet to fully comprehend the Mental Image Domain he unearthed from the past world, and he is also somewhat unsure of the next step in opening up his sea of consciousness. Two days have passed by unknowingly during his meditation at home.
In fact, ever since he acquired the Mental Image Domain, he has been able to feel a strange sensation.
The magical girl's power seems to be constantly being summoned by something.
Although not intense, this is undeniable.
Something is trying to force me to defy fate...
Ah, it should be Heaven returning the favor to me.
What a Heavenly Demon! How dare he summon like that? How many rank-level monsters does he have?
So Jiang Si contacted Bai Mei, intending to have her come to Beihai so they could sit down and discuss the best way to break through her next stage of consciousness.
He has almost finished cultivating his Divine Sense. He has optimized the way he used the Yarrow. Now he just needs a sea of consciousness to fully contain his Divine Sense. If he simply carries it on his body, his Divine Sense will continue to dissipate, just like pure magic power in an ordinary person's body.
Once the complete set of Divine Sense techniques is perfected, it can be passed on to the other disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
As for the vice president's mission at the Witch Association, Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry.
After all, they had no information whatsoever Witch Association didn't care about anything once they launched a mission, not even knowing Full Bloom looked like or what her identity was.
Completely in the dark, ostensibly to test the vice president's abilities.
No problem, Witch Association good at being hands-off managers, he's even better at it.
Jiang Si has already delegated the task to the Holy Church.
Recently, the Holy Church accepted many more missions from the Prince and reached a deep cooperation with Prince, to the point that the Prince was willing to include the Central Province Demon Squad, led by Ruoyun and Hyacinth, into the Full Bloom Plan.
Considering she even kicked out the Witch Association, you can imagine the Prince's trust in the Holy Church... or rather, the Central Province Demon Squad.
After all, the Central Province Demon Squad has always presented the Holy Church as a loose organization, with other squads besides themselves, and the Holy Church is not a monolithic entity.
In fact, up to this point, the Holy Church has only had their small team...
As a result, with the Prince's guarantee, the Holy Church naturally had more contact with the Old World.
Now, as an organization that simply undertakes tasks, it has gradually gained considerable fame.
Give them some time, and they'll naturally be able to help me find the Full Bloom who needs a bodyguard...
Whenever Jiang Si thought of this, she felt gratified by her own foresight.
These are things that the Azure Cloud Sect would find very difficult to do.
The location and reputation of the Qingyun Sect deterred the princes of the Old World and the Mirror Kingdom from making contact. The twin abilities that could gather intelligence were limited, and they could not stand alone.
But the Holy Church is different.
Thanks to Ruoyun and Hyacinth's efforts, the Holy Church is now seen by the Old World as a neutral mercenary organization that simply does things for money, making many things much easier to do.
Moreover, Ruoyun and Helen seem to have already begun to create a prototype of the Void Mirror.
If one possesses Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Holy Church's status can be elevated to an even higher level.
It's not impossible that the Holy Church will become the leader of the entire Old World in the future.
On the surface, the Azure Cloud Sect controls this world; in secret, the Holy Church rules the Old World.
This allows one to manipulate the imagery of " Constant " and ultimately gain complete control!
The carefully planned strategy is gradually beginning to show results.
This demonstrates his strategic vision as a coordinator!
On the third day after Jiang Si returned, it started to rain.
Keke is finally back, bringing some specialties from North China.
The first thing she did upon returning was naturally to find her older brother. She ran to his bedroom and, finding Jiang Si exercising, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she skipped over, happily lay down on the bedside, and tilted her head to look at her brother.
"Brother, I'm back."
"Go do your homework when you get back."
"... I've finished writing."
"Preview the content for next semester."
"Ugh, I can never finish learning..."
Coco muttered a complaint under her breath, but Keke wasn't really angry. When she came back, she saw her older brother at home.
This is the greatest happiness.
"It's been a while, I'm hungry."
Order takeout.
"No, I bought some specialties from North China and some from the General Administration. Let's cook something together."
Do it yourself.
"Help..."
Finally, Keke kept rolling around on the bed and begging, Jiang Si finally came out of the room.
Keke habitually turned on the TV, playing the news in the background, and then took out all the local specialties she had brought from North China.
"They said this Golden Phoenix Braised Chicken is especially delicious, it needs to be heated up, and there's also this 'Lord's Sesame Flatbread,' and these other dishes, steak..."
Jiang Si suspected that she was sourcing goods from the headquarters.
"Weren't you going there for an exchange and learning program? Why are you spending so much money on groceries?"
"Wow, the local specialty vegetables over there are so cheap, I bought a little extra, and nobody's saying anything anyway..."
Keke scratched her head, "And I also did well in obtaining the domain, and even learned some resonance techniques."
What kind of resonance?
"It's something about resonating with the power of other magical girls, called Star Mark Resonance. I don't quite understand the name, but it's actually not difficult to do, much simpler than Shion- sensei's lessons..."
The brother and sister chatted as they tidied up, went to the kitchen to pick and wash vegetables, and boiled water to prepare a meal.
"Oh, by the way, bro, when I came back, there was a really strange girl standing at the intersection."
While helping her brother peel garlic, Keke said, "I heard from the neighbors that she's been standing there for days, carrying a bunch of bags. Did you see her?"
Jiang Si simply lit the stove and said, "No."
"Hey, haven't you gone for a run these past couple of days?"
"No."
"Okay..." Keke finished peeling the garlic, then chopped some scallions and ginger slices, and looked out the window. "Today, the rain seems to be getting heavier."
Shaking the water off her hands, Keke was still a little worried. "If she keeps standing there, won't she catch a cold?"
"They should leave now."
"I... I'll go take a look."
As Keke spoke, she went over to put on her clothes, grabbed an umbrella, and ran out through the rain.
Jiang Si followed her to the door.
Then I saw Keke running towards a fork in the road that was a little far away.
The transparent, ethereal girl still stood there, holding the clothes she had bought earlier, motionless.
Keke held the umbrella and whispered something to the girl beside her. After a long while, she tried to hand the umbrella to her, but the girl just shook her head.
Keke stood beside her, holding an umbrella over her, muttering something under her breath, her expression showing some difficulty and worry.
The other person wouldn't speak to her or take the umbrella. She was unsure whether she should go back and tell her brother, but he probably wouldn't care. She was conflicted...
Then, the White Fox, having seemingly noticed something, finally reached out and took the umbrella from Keke's hand, whispering:
"Thanks."
Keke paused for a moment, then said with some unease, "You should go home early."
Then the girl fell silent again.
Somewhat helpless, Keke still jogged back first, looking at her older brother, "It seems she can't go home, brother, isn't it a bit much to just leave her like this?"
"Ignore her."
"How can we just leave it out like this? It'll definitely catch a cold tomorrow. What if it gets sick? Didn't the police come before? That's strange. I'll call Yiyi and ask..."
Seeing Keke's determination to help, Jiang Si sighed, "I'll go talk to her."
"Huh?" Keke was startled and pinched her brother's cheek. "Are you alright? Do you have a fever? How could this happen? My brother would never do this..."
"Then let's ignore it."
"I was just kidding, go ahead, go ahead, bro, why don't you go and talk to them?"
So Jiang Si walked over.
The girl, who hadn't reacted much until now, finally raised her head and looked at Jiang Si. After being soaked, she looked up, her face covered in rainwater, her lips bloodless and pale, and her body shivering as the wind blew by.
Rainwater dripped down his eyelashes and seeped into his pupils, but he didn't blink.
Her delicate features were blurred by the rain, and her wet hair clung to her forehead and cheeks in strands. She looked disheveled but not ugly; instead, she possessed a breathtakingly messy beauty.
When she looked at Jiang Si, her white, transparent, empty pupils showed a slight change in color.
"Roll."
The girl instinctively tried to squat down, then lay on the ground and started rolling.
But halfway through, she suddenly stopped, holding her umbrella, and quietly looked up at the boy.
Jiang Si simply looked at her and asked, "Why don't you do it?"
The White Fox's lips moved slightly. "The clothes will get dirty, sir."
Is that all?
A long silence followed, then the White Fox slowly stood up. "I... don't want to leave."
"Why."
"I..." the girl clutched her chest tightly, "I don't know."
"Then get lost."
A faint magic began to emanate from it.
She folded her umbrella and then put down her bag of clothes.
"Gentlemen."
Having said that, he suddenly raised his foot and delivered a fierce high roundhouse kick, which came crashing down on Jiang Si's head!
Keke was startled and immediately tried to run over, but then she saw her older brother casually punch the girl back, breaking her leg like a tree branch, and she immediately knelt down in the mud.
His expensive clothes became filthy.
Jiang Si squatted down, looking down at her. "What are you doing?"
"I want to attack you, sir."
"Why?"
"My body started moving on its own." A flicker of emotion appeared in the girl's pale, translucent pupils. "An impulse I can't suppress."
"This is called anger. Remember this feeling."
Jiang Si picked up the umbrella, stood up, and said, "Come with me."
Keke watched as the girl, who had previously looked unapproachable, hurriedly limped over behind Jiang Si.
For a moment, I was stunned.
What happened? How did you manage to fix it so quickly?
One punch and it obediently followed me back...
Could it be that my brother is really a Casanova?
