What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled inappropriately.

Cangxing pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress a smile.

Based on her years of experience watching melodramas, she knew that a child's self-esteem was very important and should never be damaged. As for his refusal to eat breakfast, that was easy to handle.

Since children have a strong rebellious mentality, the more you go against them, the more motivated they become.

On the contrary, by going along with what he said and subtly advancing the plan, he would happily cooperate. This was all experience she had gained from watching hundreds of melodramatic dramas.

Cang Xing glanced at the clock on the wall: "It's 8:05. Since you don't want to eat breakfast, then forget it. There's a meeting today, so come with me. We can process your onboarding."

“Okay,” Zhong Hui readily agreed.

The two tidied themselves up quickly and walked out the door one after the other.

On the way, Cangxing bought a steamed bun and milk and handed them to Zhong Hui, whose stomach was still rumbling.

Well, it was a kind offer after all... Zhong Hui remained silent for only a few seconds before accepting the breakfast.

"You think I can't handle you? Then all those hundred melodramas I watched weren't for nothing..." Cang Xing revealed a crescent-shaped smile and said:

"Let's take a car; it's still quite a distance from here to our destination."

Zhong Hui did not object.

Before long, a private car slowly pulled up in front of the two of them.

After the two got into the car, the driver checked the last four digits of their phone numbers as usual. Once he confirmed that everything was correct, he stepped on the gas, and the car drove smoothly forward.

In the car, Zhong Hui and Cang Xing sat on opposite sides, quietly listening to the soothing car music.

The morning light was bright outside the window, cars were coming and going, many shops had already opened their doors to attract business, and pedestrians were hurrying along the streets.

[This is an urgent news report.]

The melodious music was suddenly interrupted, and a female voice came over the loudspeaker, announcing in a serious tone:

At 7:50 AM today, a male body was found near the back entrance of the Xingfu Hotel on Changhong Road. The body showed severe bite marks, suggesting a possible wild animal attack. Police are still investigating. Residents are advised to be vigilant and take precautions…

"Life is getting more and more unbearable," the driver couldn't help but complain. "It's the monstrous beasts causing trouble again. Just a few days ago, a witch led an attack on Red Cherry City, and now even wild beasts dare to come into the city and kill people. So, we humans are really at the bottom of the food chain!"

Cangxing gently comforted him, "Driver, you're too pessimistic. People die every minute of every day for various reasons. As for the monsters and witches, don't we still have magical girls protecting us? Those things will be wiped out sooner or later."

“That’s right!” Zhong Hui immediately interjected, his expression impassioned. “Sooner or later, I will slay all the demons and monsters in the world, wipe out all the evil cultivators, and restore a bright and peaceful world to this land.”

In Zhong Hui's cognitive system, the calamity beasts were demonic beasts, and the witches were evil cultivators.

"What business is it of yours, a man like you?" The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and replied with a smile.

It is a universally acknowledged fact that only women can become magical girls.

Zhong Hui was too lazy to argue with him.

Who says a man can't be a magical girl? (Monk)

About twenty minutes later, the car drove into a small company on Changyun Road and parked in a parking space in the green belt.

As the two got out of the car, the driver smiled, waved, and said, "Take care."

"I thought we were going to the previous Destiny branch."

Zhong Hui looked at this inconspicuous place and examined it carefully.

“That’s just what’s out in the open.” Cangxing stepped forward and continued, “Magical girls also need to be careful about their own safety, so you see, nobody knows my true identity at all. Our bases are also hidden in the shadows and we change them frequently to prevent anything bad from happening.”

After all, there have been bloody lessons learned in the past.

In the early days, some people in the government believed that the magical girl's identity did not need to be hidden and that she should be presented as a bright and heroic figure to the public. Thus, the magical girl's identity was exposed to the world.

In the end, dozens of magical girls were assassinated by members of the Witch's Church, their heads were cut off, and their bodies were hung up.

The government subsequently learned a profound lesson, and its rules and regulations underwent a radical overhaul.

Today, magical girls are more like contract workers; they shine when needed and live normal lives among people when not needed.

The company was converted from an old residential building. It was three stories high. After crossing the steps, Zhong Hui saw the upright sign.

"Good Clean Housekeeping Company".

Chapter 15: Meeting and Joining the Floating Light Squad

"Good Clean Housekeeping Company".

This name... is really straightforward and simple... Zhong Hui shook his head and chuckled, then thought about it again and realized it made perfect sense.

Since it's a base used to conceal identities, its name naturally can't be too flashy or eye-catching.

"Let's go."

Cangxing, who was standing to the side, said this and pushed the door open to enter first.

Zhong Hui followed her into the housekeeping company. As soon as he entered, a faint scent of lemon-flavored cleaning agent entered his nasal cavity.

The company space is quite large, with white as the main color scheme. Directly opposite the main entrance is a closed elevator door that leads directly to the second and third floors.

On the right side of the first floor is the reception desk, its off-white countertop spotless, but it's empty at the moment. To the left is a rest area with sofas arranged in a semicircle, a glass round table in the center, and various everyday items such as a water dispenser and refrigerator.

Four young women dressed in matching work clothes were sitting on the sofa: a mature and alluring young woman, a blushing young girl, a dejected young girl, and a woman with upright posture and a solemn expression.

Upon seeing Cang Xing arrive with an unfamiliar man, the stern-looking woman immediately frowned and questioned, "Today is a day for discussing important matters; all the ordinary employees in the company are on holiday. Cang Xing, how dare you bring an ordinary man here?"

"Zzz," Cang Xing said impatiently, pursing his lips.

Ugh, so annoying!

Why is this woman always targeting me?

He even glared at me!

Cangxing, arms crossed and puffing out her cheeks, glared back defiantly at the other man, as if throwing a tantrum: "Altai, do you even know your place? You're not the captain, what right do you have to question me or tell me what to do? Besides..."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable before slowly adding the second half of her sentence, "I already reported to the captain last night about bringing Zhong Hui over, and she didn't object. What, do you have a problem with the captain's decision?"

"Captain, Cang Xing is lawless. I demand that he be severely punished!"

"Captain~ Altai always bullies me."

The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give in.

Seeing that the conversation had turned to him, the captain, who had been quietly teasing Muyue, finally spoke up lazily: "Alright, we're all on the same team. What's the point of arguing as soon as we meet? I gave my permission to have Zhong Hui come. Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time and go upstairs for the meeting."

Once the captain spoke, no one objected.

Muyue nodded like a well-behaved pet, the other dejected girl remained silent throughout, and the only one with dissatisfaction, Altai, merely snorted before getting up with the others and heading towards the elevator.

Cangxing raised her chin triumphantly and led Zhong Hui toward the elevator. After a few steps, she suddenly turned around and whispered a word of advice:

"Don't worry about it too much, that guy is just mentally unstable."

"Do you have a grudge against her?" Zhong Huiyin smiled sinisterly. "If so, I will help you kill her in the future."

"???"

"What nonsense are you spouting, child!"

Cang Xing panicked and grabbed Zhong Hui's arm, "I just don't get along with her. You can't say things like that in the future. Life is precious and shouldn't be desecrated."

"Womanly compassion..." Zhong Hui thought to himself, but did not refute it.

In his view, Cangxing was too young and inexperienced.

He has cultivated for 500,000 years and experienced countless years. What kind of grudges, affections, and deceit haven't he seen? He has personally experienced the rise and fall of heaven and earth, the darkness and turmoil, the changing of the sun and moon, and strange pollution.

Life, though seemingly precious, is in reality nothing more than a blade of grass.

Ancient texts record that a true immortal cultivator, in order to forge the Myriad Spirits Blood Seal, massacred a world. Countless cultivators rose up in resistance, killing until the heavens and earth were darkened and the sun and moon dimmed, but in the end, they could not escape death.

In the ancient times, there were even unparalleled powerhouses who established forbidden zones for life, taking all living beings in the world as their food. Every 100,000 years, they would launch a dark upheaval, during which life would be ravaged, the heavens would wail, and the world would be filled with desolation.

Each and every one of these events testifies to the cruel law of the cultivation world: if you don't advance, you fall behind; the weak can only be harvested at will by the strong.

"Don't stay silent, promise me, okay?" Cang Xing interrupted Zhong Hui's thoughts and pressed on relentlessly.

"Fine, you'll understand the cruelty of the cultivation world sooner or later..." Zhong Hui finally agreed.

He stepped into the elevator, where five women stood in front of him, watching their graceful figures and smelling the fragrance in the air.

Zhong Hui stood in the corner, his expression unchanged, his heart completely unmoved.

Thinking back to those days, he was immortal... no, wait. Thinking back to those days, he once held a grand banquet in the Heavenly Court, inviting the geniuses of all realms. Fairies, goddesses, saints, and demonesses all vied to dance and vie for attention. What grand scene hadn't he seen?

The elevator smoothly ascended to the third floor, and with a "ding," the doors slowly opened.

The layout on the third floor is much simpler than on the first floor. On the left is a private office with the blinds drawn tightly, and on the right is a long conference table with several swivel chairs neatly arranged around it. In front of the conference table hangs a large projection screen.

The captain took the first seat, followed by the others. Cangxing pulled Zhong Hui to sit next to him.

"Very good, everyone is here. Now, I'd like to announce something first."

The captain's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he said in a lazy tone, "From today onwards, Zhong Hui officially becomes the sixth member of the Floating Light Squad. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Cangxing immediately took the lead in clapping, the sound as loud as firecrackers.

Mu Yue hesitated for a moment, then smiled and clapped along.

Another girl, looking dejected, remained slumped over the table, motionless, as if she had lost interest in everything.

"I disagree!"

Altai suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhong Hui, and said in a tone full of doubt and dissatisfaction: "We are a magical girl team. Each of us has extraordinary power. We are a team formed to protect the world and the people. We are not playing house. He is just an ordinary man. What qualifications does he have to join us? Even if he joins, what use can he be?"

"Who says men can't be magical girls?" Sousei retorted first.

“Yes, Altai, we need to open our eyes to the world and stop judging people with old perspectives,” Muyue chimed in.

"Two lunatics..." Altai, too lazy to pay attention to these two unreliable people, looked directly at the captain, his attitude firm, and said:

"Captain, please give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will report your decision to the Destiny Headquarters."

Altai's personality... The captain yawned boredly and waved to Zhong Hui, "Zhong Hui, since Altai has a problem with you, why don't you let her see what you're made of?"

Upon being called upon, Zhong Hui immediately stood up and, in front of everyone, shouted loudly, "Moon Prism Power, Transform!"

A soft pink light shone in the room, and when the light faded, a girl with pink hair, a blue dress, and a cool and aloof demeanor stood there.

Altai, who was originally furious, froze on the spot, with only a big question mark in his mind.
