Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 158 Preparing for the Path to Nascent Soul (6,000 words)

"Did you go to find Shion?"

Coco's somewhat light-hearted question echoed in the quiet living room.

She looks a bit like a female ghost.

Jiang Si took off her shoes and put on slippers as she replied, "No."

I didn't transform today.

When I entered the room, I saw that Coco was dressed very thinly. Her pink pajamas were not very warm. Although it was not yet autumn in Beihai, it was still quite cold at night.

After he came in, Coco pulled her feet back, hugged her legs, and curled up on the sofa, pressing her knees against her chin.

Her jet-black hair fell smoothly down her face, covering half of her complexion.

"Then, what were you doing out so late at night?"

"exercise."

Jiang Si casually took a sip of water from the side and then decided to go upstairs to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Coco got up and followed him upstairs.

Jiang Si stopped and turned to look at Coco, who was staring at her innocently.

"What?"

"Go upstairs."

"Why are you going upstairs instead of going back to your room to sleep?"

"Can't sleep."

Coco grabbed his sleeve. "I'm scared to be alone."

Jiang Si was starting to regret it.

I should have brought back sleeping pills.

Jiang Si remembered that Bing Tang had sleeping pills. For a period of time, Bing Tang was unwell and couldn't sleep, so she took sleeping pills. Later, she remembered that she stored some in the Illusion Moon Cave for emergencies.

I even asked him if he wanted to test his drug tolerance.

I tried a few times, but it didn't work for him.

The so-called hypnotic effects are nothing but a clay chicken and a clay dog ​​in the face of a strong physique.

Coco hasn't exercised much, so sleeping pills should be effective for her.

"Let me help you fall asleep quickly."

Upon hearing Jiang Si's words, Coco immediately clutched her neck and took a few steps back, "No! It hurts too much!"

"How could it hurt if I fall asleep in a second?"

"It hurts when I wake up!"

Jiang Si did this when she was a child.

Because her parents wanted some alone time, they left Coco with Jiang Si. The child would stay up all night and make a fuss, or bother Jiang Si to play with her, so Jiang Si would quickly put her to sleep.

A gentle tap on the back of the neck—quick and easy.

"Moreover, there will be aftereffects; it might even make you stupid."

Jiang Si was slightly taken aback.

So, is the reason Coco is so silly today because I hit her too much when she was a child?

While it's impossible to truly regret it, it's still somewhat of a pity.

If I had been gentler back then, Coco might not have become so foolish.

He's a complete novice at everything he does, and despite being three years older, he only looks like a normal person who is one year old.

Coco, clutching the back of her neck, still forced herself to follow her older brother into the bedroom, where she stood.

He didn't say anything, he just stood there.

Jiang Si glanced at her. "Are you going to stand here all night?"

Coco shook her head.

Jiang Si then pulled a bed sheet from the wardrobe, spread it on the floor, and took a quilt.

Coco whispered, "It's okay to sleep together, anyway, you always slept with me when we were little..."

"You're such a restless sleeper, you're stealing the blanket."

I felt a little embarrassed to speak after talking to Coco.

"Who knows if you'll still wet the bed..."

"would not!"

Blushing, she denied Jiang Si's concerns, then glanced at the makeshift bed on the floor, "Won't it be uncomfortable to sleep on? Isn't the bed more comfortable?"

"If you're not comfortable with it, you can go back to your own bedroom to sleep."

Coco was taken aback. "Huh? I'm sleeping on the floor?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Si looked at her with a puzzled expression. "You came to my bedroom and wanted to take my bed?"

"right……"

Coco mumbled a reply, then obediently lay down on her makeshift bed on the floor.

Jiang Si didn't pay her any more attention and went back to bed to get some rest.

After lying down for a short while, I heard a small voice coming from the other side of the makeshift bed, "Brother..."

He originally didn't want to pay attention to it.

As a cultivator, one must remain vigilant even while sleeping.

Because who knows when someone might attack while you're sleeping, and you could die without even knowing why.

Even when sleeping, one must remain vigilant at all times, and be ready to respond immediately to the slightest movement.

Therefore, Jiang Si's sleep has always been very light, so of course he would hear her talking at such close range.

But it seemed like it would be a waste of time to strike up a conversation, so he decided to remain silent.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"elder brother……"

"If you're not planning to sleep, go for a run."

Coco said "Oh" and fell silent.

Just when I thought she was finally going to sleep, she spoke again after only a short while, "Brother, I can't sleep, and you can't sleep either, right?"

Jiang Si was already considering going out now, transforming into Aster, and then going to get the sleeping pills.

This guy is just here to torture people, isn't he?

"Yiyi called me today and said she has a friend request letter for you. Remember to meet her when you go to school. Yiyi has been very worried about you lately. They kept saying on TV that you had disappeared, and everyone was very worried about you..."

Who is Yiyi?

Although I was happy that Jiang Si replied, the content of her reply was really not something to be happy about: "It's Li Yi, Magical Girl Silver Lotus."

A real name plus a magical girl name, who can remember that?

Especially when there are many people, if one person has two names, who knows who is who?

"Oh, your captain."

Yinlian Jiang Si still had some impression of her; she had visited her home before.

Coco asked curiously, "Brother, what's your impression of Yiyi?"

Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Very short."

He's very short; even though he's a high school student, there's basically no hope for him.

"Tch, bro, you're not that tall either, about the same height."

"Not even close."

Since she couldn't sleep, Jiang Si simply started circulating her magic power and cultivating.

Over several cycles, without Coco noticing, he continuously strengthened his physical body.

The black dragon began to manipulate its magic more and more smoothly. Since it was suppressed last time, the black dragon had been unable to make a sound, and even its consciousness had been dormant.

Although they wanted to erase it, they had to consider the consequences. If the consciousness was erased, the Black Dragon Nascent Soul would be unable to produce magic power, which would be a loss.

Before figuring out the consequences, suppressing consciousness is the safest course of action.

The black dragon, now completely asleep, is practically dead.

It's time to consider the next step of the "Borrowing the False to Cultivate the True" method: reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

In Jiang Si's view, the orthodox cultivation path is naturally the same as the one that leads to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Body Integration, and Mahayana.

The characteristic of this system is its high adaptability. It can be applied to almost any novel, and you can see cultivators in any online novel, such as cultivators who have returned from the infinite, cultivators who have returned from the dragon race, cultivators who have returned from another world, cultivators who have returned from the city, etc. It can be said to be the underlying logic of online novels.

Moreover, the upper and lower limits are particularly high. In ancient online novels, you can often see scenes where a Golden Core cultivator blows a breath to destroy an alien fleet crossing the universe, or a Nascent Soul cultivator uses a hand gesture to suppress gods from other Western fantasy worlds. It can be said to be very powerful and domineering.

As for the lower limit, Jiang Si never reads online novels with poor cultivation.

Therefore, he was expelled from the Qi Refining realm.

Every level has its own strength worth mentioning, but Qi Refining does not.

This realm is most prone to revealing embarrassing plot points, such as being unable to differentiate themselves from ordinary martial artists and being attacked by them, losing all their cultivation after being stained with the blood of ordinary people, or having the same lifespan as ordinary people. It's simply shameful.

This kind of plot is an insult to the decades-long history of online literature, and should be apologized to by all cultivators!
That being said, the next step is to consider the transformation into a spirit, as only by cultivating a primordial spirit can one advance further...

"Brother, how about we try talking to another one?"

"Ok?"

"Kidding."

I'm serious, actually.

Coco rolled over, thinking with some worry.

If my brother had fallen for someone else earlier, would Teacher Ziyuan have given up on Jiang Si after being disappointed?
perhaps.

After all, a girl like Ziyuan would definitely be very domineering and would absolutely not allow her lover to be fickle.

And her feelings for her older brother were definitely not genuine...

However, when Coco thought about the possibility that no one could stop Shion from making a move, she could only say it was a joke.

Therefore, I must become stronger.

"Brother."

Although Jiang Si ignored her, Coco knew he wasn't asleep, so she continued, "Can you continue to ask Ziyuan to be my teacher? I want to become stronger."

As soon as she said that, Jiang Si was no longer sleepy.

He sat up and looked at her seriously. "Really?"

Coco was also startled by her brother; she hadn't expected him to be so serious.

However, he quickly nodded, "Yes, I don't want to go on like this anymore. Brother, you go to dangerous places with Teacher Ziyuan, but I can't do anything about it. I don't want to experience this again."

"The purpose of seeking the Dao is irrelevant," Jiang Si said with relief. "What matters is an unwavering heart. Since you intend to become stronger, you must uphold this belief, never give up, and never abandon your journey halfway."

“I know.” Coco also became serious. “I will never give up. This time, no matter what kind of training it is, I will definitely persevere. I will become stronger and stronger, just like Teacher Shion.”

"Good ambition!"

Jiang Si immediately abandoned her plan to sleep and sat up abruptly. "No need to wait. Since you can't sleep, we can have Ziyuan come over tonight for some special training, which will also help you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard some even breathing coming from the other end.

Jiang Si looked down and saw that Coco had already closed her eyes and was sleeping soundly.

I fell asleep instantly.

However, Coco hasn't slept for several days in a row. Actually, it's quite normal for her to fall asleep instantly. It was a lie to say that she couldn't sleep before.

I guess they just want to talk to me about getting stronger.

Why not just say it directly? Going through all this trouble is a waste of time.

Coco started kicking off the blankets after only a short nap.

Jiang Si quickly covered her with the blanket, not letting her get wrapped up like a maggot, because the girl would kick it off in no time.

Back in bed, Jiang Si finally felt relieved. It was common knowledge that becoming an emperor would trigger a bloodline advancement, bringing prosperity to the entire family.

However, Jiang Si has always looked down on those who advance through bloodline.

Although he didn't have high expectations for Coco, it was better for Coco to pursue the Great Dao on her own and become stronger than to quietly wait for her bloodline to awaken and become a leech who relied on powerful figures.

My sister, Jiang Si, has never been inferior to anyone in her life; she should have this kind of spirit.

While pondering how to give her special training tomorrow, Jiang Si took a short rest.

……

When Coco woke up in the morning, she had already left and gone downstairs.

Even the bedding on the floor had been folded up and put into the wardrobe.

After changing my clothes, I got up to wash up. There was a washroom on the second floor, but I had to go downstairs to take a shower.

When I finished washing up and went downstairs, I saw Coco busy in the kitchen.

Somehow she heard him come downstairs, Coco poked her head out of the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Brother, are you going to class today?"

"Ah."

I have to go there at least once; the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and I need to get my admission ticket.

Let's talk about it after the college entrance exam.

A little while later, Coco came out with two dishes: scrambled eggs and sausage with cauliflower.

My mom used to love cooking two dishes that were simple, convenient, and healthy.

Then he ladled out two bowls of cooked porridge, placed them on the table, and asked, "Would you like some steamed buns, brother?"

"Don't eat."

"Where's the bun?"

"Don't eat."

"Ok."

He had planned to wait until she finished eating, but Coco was sitting at the table watching him.

"Come and eat, bro."

Jiang Si sat down, looked at her porridge, and then glanced at the two plates of vegetables.

Coco didn't seem to care about him and just ate by herself, looking quite natural.

"I have to go to the Disaster Management Bureau today. Yiyi is furious. I need to appease her and get her to reinstate me."

Jiang Si picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

No problem, it smells great, and the taste is similar to what my mother used to make.

I asked habitually, "What about the school?"

"I'll have the Disaster Management Bureau handle things at the school. I can ask them to help me take the final exams separately. That's what they always do. Yiyi said that's how she did it."

"Oh, as long as it doesn't interfere with my studies."

Although everything was very natural.

But it made Jiang Si feel very awkward.

He was starting to miss the days when they didn't interfere with each other and lived their own lives...

On television, today's news reported on the Qingyun Sect's complete withdrawal from the military, and also reported that the Disaster Management Bureau and the Qingyun Sect had reached a cooperation agreement, with both sides preparing for further negotiations.

Jiang Si didn't know what Bing Tang was planning, but she didn't intend to interfere too much with these decisions.

There's a reason why Bing Tang chose to cooperate with the Disaster Management Bureau.

In all things under heaven, the worst thing is for an outsider to instruct an expert.

Although Jiang Si considered himself quite knowledgeable in cultivation, he was a complete novice when it came to organization and management.

"Brother, I've finished eating first."

"Wash the dishes yourself."

"Oh."

Coco cleaned up the dishes after finishing her meal.

After wiping my hands clean, I went back to my bedroom to get my schoolbag and asked again, "Are you coming back for lunch?"

"not coming back."

"Then I'll eat at the Disaster Management Bureau. What time are you coming back this afternoon?"

Do I have to ask everything?
Jiang thought for a moment, "I'll ask Ziyuan to come over for special training this afternoon. I'll be in class and won't be back yet. You don't need to cook for me tonight."

"Okay, are we really going to class? You're not going to skip class to play, are you?" Coco joked, seeming much more cheerful. "Then I'll come back this afternoon and wait for Ms. Ziyuan."

When it was time to leave, I stood at the door for a while.

Coco suddenly turned her head, stretched out her small hand, and waved to Jiang Si, "Well, I'm leaving now, brother."

"Oh."

"Don't wander off, bro. You have to be back tonight."

"understood."

After giving her several instructions, Coco finally opened the door and left.

Jiang Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Why do I feel like the pressure has actually increased?

After cleaning up the remaining food and putting it in the refrigerator, I wiped the table clean and turned off the TV.

It's somewhat like when my parents were still alive.

Although I don't know why Coco changed so much—it's probably because she made up her mind to become stronger.

Jiang Si was aware that a person's personality would change once they had a goal to become stronger.

This shows that it's a good thing; Coco really wants to become stronger, and it's not just talk.

I need to think about how to do special training.

After Coco walked away, Jiang Si went out and locked the door. The neighbor greeted her with a smile.

"Xiao Jiang, you and your sister have gotten along better lately. She looks so happy today."

"Our relationship has always been very good."

The neighbor was speechless for a moment.

It's too superficial to assume that a relationship has changed based on some changes in attitude.

In our cultivation world, such changes usually indicate that the other party has ulterior motives.

There is no doubt that the reason Coco suddenly became so attentive is mostly because she saw herself as a stepping stone.

She wants to use her connections to gain power from Shion.

They'll probably use me a lot more often afterward, so I'll naturally have to be even more attentive to avoid offending them.

By any means necessary, we will go all out.

As expected of my sister Jiang Si, she has already mastered the survival rules of the cultivation world so quickly.

For a moment, Jiang Si even felt a surge of pride.

My sister Coco has the bearing of an emperor!

After leaving home, Jiang Si did not rush to school.

Coco has already started to catch up, and as her older brother, I can't lose to her. I have to keep improving myself.

The territory of the Qingyun Sect is quite large in Beihai.

For example, the small factory that Jiang Si is currently working at is under Bing Tang's control.

The small factory was registered under the name of a shell company; it was originally purchased by Bing Tang specifically for building the Illusion Moon Cave for the Qingyun Sect.

The memorial tablets, tables, chairs, benches, and other special props that Jiang Si requested were all produced here.

If you walk down to the bottom of the factory, you will see a gloomy dungeon.

The dungeon was mostly empty, with hardly any people imprisoned inside.

When the Qingyun Sect was purging the Witch Society, there were always some people who were related to the Witch Society but whose crimes did not warrant death.

When Bing Tang catches these people, she will imprison them here and interrogate them about information about the Witch's Guild.

Then erase their memories and throw them into the Disaster Management Bureau.

And some, once their crimes were deemed unforgivable, were simply killed and buried here.

In this regard, rock sugar has always done a great job.

As for Jiang Si, he only focuses on charging forward and doesn't care who the other person is most of the time.

Rock candy never stopped him.

If you're in the Witch's Guild and he catches you, you're basically dead. He can't be bothered with things like imprisoning people or taking stock of their crimes.

They've all mixed up with terrorists, do I have to distinguish them one by one?

It’s a beautiful thought.

However, Jiang Si was certainly not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

Take this girl in front of me, for example.

Jiang Si squatted down and looked at Xi Lan, who was lying pitifully in the cell.

He patted the prison door.

Unexpectedly, Xilan immediately exploded, "What are you banging on! Can't you see I'm sleeping! What are you so smug about! When Lord Si Motu returns, you'll all be dead! You're all doomed! Don't think I, Lord Xilan, am afraid of you! I, Lord Xilan, am not even afraid of death. If you dare disturb my sleep again, I'll fight you to the death..."

When Xilan looked up, she suddenly fell silent.

All the words were swallowed back down.

Then, the next second, her eyes reddened. "Boss! Lord Si Motu! What are you doing here? Did you get captured by the Qingyun Sect? Don't worry about me, Lord Si Motu, you are the most important. You must survive..."

"You don't need to worry about me." Si Motu sneered. "A few little girls from the Qingyun Sect can't do anything to me."

"I knew Lord Simotu could never lose to them!"

"Letting you be arrested was just a test for you," Si Motu said in a deep voice. "You've passed the test, Xilan. I've already fought back for you against those who bullied you. Although I didn't kill them, they were badly injured."

Xi Lan couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face as she wailed, "Lord Simotu, Lord Simotu, Xi Lan will always love and respect you! I knew you would never abandon me, Xi Lan never doubted it..."

"do not Cry."

Jiang Si forced herself to swallow back the words, "If you cry again, I'll kill you."

To be honest, he'd had enough of seeing these girls crying and wailing these past few days.

With such well-developed tear ducts, I suggest you apply for a job as a funeral gimmick; at least you could earn some money.

“I’ll take you out of here. You need to find a way to bring over the potion I mentioned earlier.”

Xi Lan held back her tears and asked, choking back sobs, "What, what kind of potion?"

"A potion that allows one to transform into a witch using the Miracle Seed."

Xilan immediately took off her shoes.

Then Jiang Si looked at the soles of her feet, where two vials were slowly seeping out. Xi Lan sobbed as she pulled out the potion from her feet and handed it to Jiang Si, "It's, it's right here. I took it before, but I was afraid it would be stolen, so I've been hiding it inside my body..."

Even though I know it's the power of a complete witch...

Jiang Si picked up the medicine bottle, frowned, and said, "Couldn't you put it somewhere clean?"

"The main thing is to hide it in the feet."

Xi Lan said somewhat embarrassedly, "My feet are very clean, unlike twins who never wear shoes..."

With a sigh, Jiang Si wiped the bottle and said, "Help me go back to the Witch's Guild and find out more about the Mirror Kingdom."

"No problem! Lord Simotu, I will definitely strip them naked and show them to you!"

Actually, these are all trivial matters.

Jiang Si casually dealt with the situation, but gripped the medicine tightly—this was the most important thing.

If one can successfully obtain the complete power of the witch.

Perhaps he is on the verge of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator!
