I am an insect

My own cultivation method comes from the book "Huangdi Neijing" that I obtained, but where did this teacher get his adult insect cultivation method from?

Did he have a special background, or did he, like me, obtain it from ancient books he found somewhere?

Ji Ye pondered inwardly, his face betraying no emotion, and said, "Teacher, you just mentioned impermanence..."

Just then, a somewhat childish voice came from outside: "Coach—"

Hearing the voice, the teacher stood up, a smile on her face, and said, "The children are here."

He walked out while talking.

Ji Ye and Lin Ya followed him out of the reception room. Through the ring in the middle, Ji Ye saw five or six children at the entrance of the boxing gym. The youngest was only four or five years old, and the oldest was no more than eleven or twelve. They were all wearing the same training uniform.

Outside, there were several parents who had brought their children to the boxing gym. Seeing the instructor there, they left reassured.

When the children saw their teacher from afar, they all called out in unison, "Good morning, Coach!"

The teacher greeted everyone with a smile, "Good morning, everyone." Then she clapped her hands and said, "Same old rules, let's start with three laps of jogging to warm up. Ji Yichen, you lead the way."

"Yes." Ji Yichen, the oldest boy among them, who was about eleven or twelve years old, responded and led the remaining children to start jogging around the boxing gym.

Upon hearing the name, Ji Ye's heart stirred slightly. He remembered that he had a great-grandson named Ji Yichen. Now, looking at this child, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. He was certain that this child was indeed his great-grandson.

In this situation, he couldn't very well acknowledge his great-grandchildren; he could only watch them jogging slowly around the boxing gym from afar.

"Ji Ye, he shares your surname," Lin Ya said softly.

Ji Ye hummed in agreement and said calmly, "The surname Ji is quite common in Ancheng. There are quite a few people with the surname Ji in Ancheng."

The teacher said, "These kids are all good, especially the leader, Ji Yichen. He has great potential, some talent, and works very hard. If he really pursues the path of a boxer, I can't say he'll be at the national level, but he'll definitely be at the provincial level."

"Yes..." The teacher looked at Lin Ya and said, "Remember to send me your current contact information. I'm planning to organize a get-together in a few days so that Ji Ye and everyone can get to know each other better."

Lin Ya hummed in agreement, took out Ye Xuan's phone, looked up the number, and read it aloud, saying, "Teacher, this is my current number."

The teacher wrote down Ye Xuan's phone number and said, "Remember to tell Ji Ye how we keep in touch."

Lin Ya smiled and said, "Of course, I remember." As she spoke, she looked at Ji Ye and explained, "Just in case, we memorize our phone numbers and don't save them in our phones. This is to prevent people from finding us through our phones. Also, it's best if we don't contact the teacher proactively. If we really need to contact him, it's best not to use our own phones. If we do use them, we should change them immediately afterwards."

Ji Ye nodded to indicate that he understood. For example, last night Lin Ya replaced the original female nurse's body. If the female nurse's phone contained the teacher's contact information or she had contacted the teacher, once the other party got hold of the phone, it was possible to locate the teacher's address.

Ji Ye also memorized the teacher's contact information.

"Yes, teacher. Do you still have that medicine? I used up my two pills last night."

The teacher smiled and nodded, then poured out four pills from a small bottle she carried with her, giving two to Lin Ya and two to Ji Ye each.

"This medicine is very precious and cannot be bought through ordinary channels. It should not be wasted."

"Don't worry, teacher, I know." After putting away the medicine, Lin Ya said goodbye and left with Ji Ye.

The coach, with a smile on his face, saw them off as they left the gym. Watching them go, his smile faded, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, as if he were pondering something. It wasn't until they heard someone calling for the coach that he snapped out of his reverie and smiled again. It turned out the children had finished warming up and were watching him.

"Alright, today we'll continue practicing the standing meditation method I taught you yesterday. Everyone should try to hold it for as long as possible..."

***

Ji Ye and Lin Ya left the boxing gym and drove home in He Longtao's car.

"See? I told you the teacher is a good person." In the car, Lin Ya looked relaxed. She was happy that the teacher had accepted Ji Ye. Of course, more importantly, they had gained a new partner, and their strength had become even greater.

As Ji Ye drove, he said, "I just heard from the teacher that we'd be getting together in a few days. It seems there are quite a few of you. Have you met them all?"

Lin Ya shook her head and said, "I don't know exactly who they are. I usually only contact my teacher directly. Besides my teacher, I've also met someone named Da Xiang. I met him by chance at the boxing gym. We only met once. I don't know if he has a new body now. Anyway, I haven't met any of the others."

Ji Ye hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

Lin Ya said, "As expected, the teacher treats you very specially. To welcome you, she even plans to organize a get-together for us all and introduce you to everyone."

Ji Ye smiled and suddenly asked, "Lin Ya, what do you think of the teacher?"

Lin Ya was taken aback and said, "What do you mean, how is it? Of course it's great! He taught us the cultivation method for adult insects and gave us medicine so that we could easily change bodies. You could say that if I hadn't met my teacher, I wouldn't exist anymore."

Ji Ye said, "What you said makes sense. I'm just curious where Teacher got the adult insect cultivation method and these medicines from. These things don't just appear out of thin air. Could they have been given to him by Teacher's teacher?"

Lin Ya rolled her eyes and said, "It means our teacher is someone important and different from us. The more powerful the teacher is, the better they can protect us. Why are you worrying about this? We just need to live well and find more companions."

"Find more allies, and then what? Rebel against those people?"

Lin Ya nodded and said, "My teacher told me that once we have gathered more companions and have enough strength, we will overthrow Wuchang together. We want to build a utopian world where everyone can become an insect. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask for fairness."

"We're all adults, so why are we the wandering ghosts while they're the unsettled spirits? What right do they have to judge us and decide our lives? Just because they're stronger than us?"

Lin Ya became more and more excited as she spoke.

"If an adult insect does something bad and gets killed, I can understand. But they don't ask why, they don't ask what's good or evil. As long as it's not an adult insect that belongs to them, it will be killed."

"So I'm very grateful to the teacher. Although I don't know how capable the teacher is, or how high the chances are of successfully rebelling against them, at least it's a goal. As long as we persevere, maybe... we'll succeed in the future, Kino, don't you think?"

"Yes," Kino replied.

Back home, after parking the car in the garage, Ji Ye first found a nearby restaurant and ordered highly nutritious food, as He Longtao's body urgently needed a lot of nutritional supplements.
