Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

To his surprise, however, he seemed to have an unusually high affinity for girls. The tree-man beside him remained vigilant and did not relax, but Mei quickly wiped away her tears after seeing his gentle smile. Although her big eyes were still a little timid, they were filled with curiosity.

“My name is Kita-gi-sei, and I’ve come to the island to fight the Celestial Immortal,” Kitagawa Yu continued. “I know you’ve been hiding from the Celestial Immortal’s capture, and it’s been very difficult for you. Why don’t you come with me from now on? With me protecting you, even if the Celestial Immortal comes, he won’t be able to hurt you anymore.”

Although Mei wasn't very good at speaking, she understood what Kitagawa Yu meant. Her body could freely switch between the ages of eight or nine and eighteen or nineteen, and her real age was over a thousand years old, so understanding wasn't a problem for her.

For so many years, it was always the Tree Man who took care of her and gave her advice. So, although she felt particularly close to Kitagawa Yu and wanted to agree, she still subconsciously turned her head to look at the Tree Man beside her.

The tree-man glanced at Kitagawa Yu again, lowered his guard slightly, and said, "Outsider, I know you were able to break through Yingzhou, the outermost part of this island, so your strength must be quite good. But believe me, the strength of a Celestial Immortal is beyond your imagination. They are much stronger than the Kitchen Gods and Door Gods in the forest. You should leave this island as soon as possible!"

As an ancient tree-man who has lived for hundreds of years, he knows all too well the power of the Celestial Immortal. Over the centuries, there have been other powerful figures who have come to the island and ventured here, but they have all been easily annihilated by the Celestial Immortal. No one is a match for the Celestial Immortal.

Therefore, in his view, even celestial beings were unmatched.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, two figures rushed over from the direction of the distant campfire, and then stopped on either side of Kitagawa Yu, like guards.

"Heavenly Immortal?!"

The tree-man was startled. After seeing the person's face clearly, his pupils involuntarily contracted, and he cried out in surprise.

On the other side, Mei wasn't much better off. She was terrified when she saw Zhu Jin and instinctively moved closer to Kitagawa Yu, who made her feel safe, and hid herself behind Kitagawa Yu's body.

However, Zhu Jin had obviously discovered her long ago.

"Mei? I didn't expect you to be hiding here." Zhu Jin raised an eyebrow, looked Mei up and down, and then fell silent.

When Mei heard Zhu Jin call her name, her small body trembled uncontrollably again, and her eyes were filled with fear.

But just then, a warm hand landed on her dirty hair and gently rubbed it. At the same time, a gentle voice rang in her ear, like a warm sun, quickly dispelling the coldness and fear in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I've subdued her, she won't hurt you anymore~"

"what?!"

The tree-man beside him couldn't help but exclaim in surprise again, and Mei also looked up in shock, her eyes wide.

"You actually subdued the Celestial Immortal?! This... how is this possible?!"

Kitagawa Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. Even celestial beings aren't truly invincible, otherwise they would have stayed on this island for thousands of years."

The tree-man was speechless.

Most importantly, the facts are right in front of us: Zhu Jin could have easily escaped or launched a sneak attack, but he didn't. Instead, he stood obediently behind Kitagawa Yu, which clearly shows that he had truly submitted.

"Alright then, sir, I'll leave Lord Mei to you. It just so happens that my life is also coming to an end," the treant said slowly as he came to his senses.

As one of the earliest experiments of the lotus, the tree-man only lived a little longer and could not live forever like the celestial being, as long as there was breath.

As the last surviving tree-man in the entire village, he was supposed to completely morph into a tree and die soon.

Mei then came to her senses, looked at the tree man with a sorrowful expression, and then grabbed Kitagawa Yu's hand, pleading softly.

Although Kitagawa Yu couldn't understand what she was saying, he could understand her meaning, so he turned to Zhu Jin and asked, "Do you have a way to undo his treeification?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jin shook his head and explained, "The path of treeification is wrong. We stopped researching it after discovering this, so we can't undo the treeification."

On the other side, the tree man also comforted Mei, saying, "Lord Mei, please don't be sad for me. My wife and my children have been waiting for me for many years, and it's time for me to reunite with them."

Everyone could tell that the tree man's words came from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was originally just an ordinary human who was suddenly transformed into a tree man overnight. He then witnessed his wife and two children gradually turning into trees and dying, and eventually, out of more than a thousand people in the village, he was the only one left.

Ironically, because of the super-strong self-healing ability he gained after the modification, he couldn't commit suicide even if he wanted to, and could only wait for death to come day after day, year after year.

Now that he can finally die, it is indeed a relief for him.

Tears welled up in Mei's eyes again, but she couldn't say anything. She could only hug the tree spirit tightly and then silently watch it disappear into the night. When she arrived at the tree spirit's graveyard at the border between Fangzhang and Penglai, she knelt down beside his wife and children.

Indeed, these villagers have always regarded Lian and Tianxian as true immortals, and even when they were transformed into monsters and died, they dared not resist or even harbor resentment.

"Okay, let's go back!"

The group returned to the village and then followed Mei to the courtyard where she and Shuren usually lived.

Compared to the other dilapidated houses, the three houses in this courtyard are clearly better preserved. One of them even has a 3x3 meter bathtub filled with water, which makes Kitagawa Yuu sigh at the Japanese people's passion for bathing.

And as for that guy who's so arrogant, needless to say.

My eyes lit up immediately when I saw the bathtub.

Although Kitagawa Yu had been fighting all day and she was just a spectator cheering him on, she hadn't taken a bath for four or five days, considering the time it took to get to the island by boat and the preparation time. Now that she saw the bathhouse, how could she resist?

"Master, shall we take a bath together?" Gang's eyes darted around, and he grinned as he reached out and took Kitagawa Yu's arm, speaking in a sweet voice.

Kitagawa Yu, who was already prepared to build a harem in this world, had no reason to refuse such a delicious treat that was delivered right to her door.

But just as he was about to agree, a series of sulky pretty faces flashed before his eyes, and this time there were even more than last time.

"Hoshino Aimi, Miyazono Kaori?"

"And...is this little one Matou Sakura?"

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

Kitagawa Yu shook his head and forcibly dispersed the faces, but the next second, the face of a certain stupid goddess girl appeared in front of him and then headbutted him hard.

"Fuck!"

Startled, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but swear, and almost drew his sword.

The expected impact did not occur; clearly, it was just his hallucination.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Kitagawa Yu's sudden and unusual behavior, Gang couldn't help but ask with concern.

She genuinely didn't want anything to happen to Kitagawa Yu. After all, if something were to happen to Kitagawa Yu, with her strength, even if she had cultivated Qi Refining Techniques, she would still be no match for Zhu Jin, let alone the other Celestial Immortals and Lotus, who were even stronger than Celestial Immortals.

With Huameimaru dead, and without Kitagawa Yu, there's no way she could have left the island alive.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things."

Kitagawa Yu casually brushed it off, changing the subject, "You take Mei with you to wash, I'll wash later."

After saying that, Kitagawa Yu first patted Mei's head to reassure her to stay there, and then quickly left the bathroom and went to the next room.

Seeing this, Gang was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He pulled Mei and helped her take off her clothes.

Kitagawa Yu, on the other hand, sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and frowned as he examined his memories.

Unfortunately, although he sensed something was wrong, he didn't know why, and he had no idea why these figures had suddenly appeared.

However, after some attempts, he figured out a pattern: whenever he wanted to have some kind of R-rated scene with the two beauties, Gang or Zuoqie, these figures would suddenly appear and glare at him angrily.

At the same time, the appearance of these figures made him feel inexplicably guilty, which made him even more confused.

"What on earth is going on? Although these are all my favorite anime waifus from my past life, I've somehow transmigrated!"

"The most crucial thing is, if this illusion keeps appearing, how am I supposed to build a harem in this world?"

Kitagawa Yu muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, in a distant shrine in the main world, a certain silly goddess girl also heard Kitagawa Yu's mutterings through the red thread at her fingertips, and immediately clenched her fists in exasperation.

"Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!"

"That pervert! All he ever thinks about is this kind of thing!"

"How could I have gotten involved with a guy like that! I'm so angry!"

"So many girls are already waiting for him, and he's still thinking about this kind of thing. Even if he has temporary amnesia, it's unforgivable!"

"."

The clear, tinkling sound of bells rang out.

Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu couldn't hear her complaints.

Unable to come up with a solution for the time being, Kitagawa Yu had no choice but to start practicing Qi cultivation. As for the art of immortality, he needed to implant parasitic flower cells into his body, allowing his own human cells to fuse with the parasitic flower cells under the influence of Qi.

Kitagawa Yu was still somewhat hesitant about whether or not to do it.

The night passed quickly.

Whether it was because the life energy within his body was already enormous or not, Kitagawa Yu had mastered the basics of Qi cultivation in just one night, condensing a ball of Qi the size of a fist in his dantian.

Although the amount of this energy is less than that of Mei, it is much greater than that of Gang. When it is circulated according to the Qi cultivation technique, it is enough to increase his body's various attributes by about 20%.

As for recovery ability, it has more than doubled.

His biggest concern, lifespan, has not increased as much as he had imagined; the upper limit of lifespan has only increased to about 180 years.

However, as long as his vital energy is not depleted, he will maintain a youthful appearance until the end of his life, which is quite good.

"Master, don't be discouraged. With your talent, it won't be long before you surpass me," Zhu Jin said, offering words of comfort. This prompted Kitagawa Yu to glance at her again.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Take me to find the other celestial beings."

"Yes, Master. The closest one to here should be Osmanthus. He's the weakest among us, and his research focuses on..."

Because they each had their own research tasks, apart from routine patrols, the other celestial beings usually stayed in their own territories and didn't wander off, which made it much easier for Kitagawa Yu to find them.

To avoid alerting the celestial beings, he didn't grind monsters or level up along the way. Instead, he used Zhu Jin's aura to dispel the Kitchen God, Door Gods, and poisonous insects, and found Guihua as quickly as possible.

Then it's simple.

To demonstrate his strength, Kitagawa Yu did not launch a sneak attack, but instead appeared before Guihua with Zhu Jin and the other two in a very open manner.

"Zhu Jin? You found Mei? What's going on with these two humans?"

Guihua didn't react at first, until Kitagawa Yu took two steps forward and placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. Only then did he realize something was wrong, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Zhu Jin, could it be that you—"

"That's right, I am loyal to my master."

"Are you insane?! You actually acknowledge a human as your master?! Lian will kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jin shook her head slightly, not wasting any more breath. She believed that once Guihua witnessed Kitagawa Yu's terrifying martial prowess, she would understand why she had chosen to submit.

Chapter 238 Is it possible that we're going to lose?

"Are you ready then?"

"Damn humans, how dare they look down on me!"

With a gloomy expression, Guihua raised her hand and struck out with an invisible force, like an unseen cannonball, which blasted towards Kitagawa Yu at an extremely fast speed.

However, this posed no threat to Kitagawa Yu, who had already cultivated Qi cultivation techniques and could see Qi.
