What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

As Cangxing got closer, he found Zhong Hui's appearance to be almost too good-looking, with a faint fragrance lingering around him, and his fingertips were white and soft.

It's so beautiful, it's my type, I love it so much... But this name, why does it sound like a guy's? On the surface, Cangxing remained calm and composed, but inside she was already excitedly cheering and couldn't bear to let go.

After a moment, Zhong Hui looked at her helplessly, "Miss, could you let go of my hand?"

"Ah! I'm so sorry." Cangxing came to her senses and reluctantly let go of his hand.

Zhong Hui didn't take it to heart, simply assuming that the other party had completely fallen for his unparalleled personal charm.

After all, he was once the Heavenly Emperor who suppressed all the heavens, and countless people admired him.

However, he has no time to indulge in romance now; returning to the realm of the Immortal Emperor and clearing away the strange phenomena of the heavens are his only goals.

"mound."

A soft, cute voice suddenly rang out from nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, a creature resembling a small kitten appeared in mid-air without warning.

It has a pair of normal cat ears, and below that, a pair of long, tassel-like ears. Its round and chubby appearance makes it look both cute and docile, enough to melt the hearts of countless girls.

However, Zhong Hui only frowned slightly.

"A thousand arrows piercing my heart!"

The next second, countless arrows formed from condensed magic shot out through the air!

The poor little guy didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was riddled with arrows, his bright red blood splattering everywhere, and his body crashed to the ground like a rag doll.

"Chubi!"

Cang Xing's expression changed drastically. He dodged backward, raised his scythe high, and pointed it at Zhong Hui, demanding sharply, "Why did you attack Qiu Bi?"

“Well…” Zhong Hui’s expression was subtle. After careful consideration, he gave a reason that even he himself found outrageous: “The first time I saw it, for some reason, I felt an inexplicable urge to kill it, and I couldn’t control it.”

"???"

Cangxing froze on the spot, his lips twitching slightly. What kind of reason was that?

How could someone with such an innocent and adorable appearance like Kyubey have such a twisted mind that they would have the urge to "kill it" at first glance?!

A wave of despair washed over Cang Xing: So handsome, yet a pervert! She'd finally fallen for him, but he'd made her lose so utterly…

"I'm fine, Sousei."

Just then, that soft, cute voice rang out again.

On the ground, the mangled corpse of Qubi remained, but without warning, a new Qubi appeared in the air.

"Um……"

The moment Zhong saw it, his staff flashed with light, and he couldn't resist the urge to strike again.

Upon seeing this, Sousei immediately stepped in front of Kyubey to shield him, fearing that Kyubey might die again.

Kyubey, who was being protected behind him, quickly spoke up: "Azure Star, there's something wrong with this magical girl. I... I couldn't find any record of her signing a contract."

"contract?"

Zhong Hui regretfully put down his staff, then keenly caught the key words in Qiu Bi's words.

Cangxing stared at Zhong Hui in disbelief.

As everyone knows, to become a magical girl, one must sign a contract with Kyubey in order to gain extraordinary powers.

Without a contract, one can only be an ordinary person; this has been an unchanging rule since the birth of magical girls.

"Then...how did she become a magical girl?"

Faced with Sousei's question, Kyubey fell silent.

It couldn't provide a proper explanation; the existence of this person was completely beyond the established rules.

Zhong Hui listened quietly to the conversation between Cang Xing and Qiu Bi. Combining the information in their words with his unparalleled wisdom, he quickly pieced together a rough outline in his mind.

The cultivation system in this world must be extremely backward!

Although the cultivation systems of the myriad realms differ greatly, they all ultimately lead to the same goal: to draw upon the special power of heaven and earth, commonly known as spiritual energy, in order to transcend the mundane.

According to them, to become a cultivator in this world, one must sign a so-called "contract".

It felt like signing a contract to sell oneself into servitude... He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself, "I wonder which genius created this cultivation system."

Kyubey stared at Zhong Hui, his eyes darting around, and suddenly said, "Cang Xing, arrest her. I suspect this person is actually a witch in disguise!"

"Huh?" Cangxing was taken aback.

"presumptuous!"

Zhong Hui immediately shouted.

Although he didn't know exactly what a "witch" was, based on what the monster had said earlier, it wasn't hard to deduce that it was definitely not a good word.

Moreover, he had just saved so many people. Not to mention that he had made a great contribution, now this little cat named Cupid was making false accusations against him simply because he did not conform to the cultivation system of this world.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone the Heavenly Emperor Zhong?

"I'm sorry, Cupid meant no harm."

Cangxing quickly reassured Zhong Hui, "You have protected so many people, I believe you are definitely not a witch."

After saying that, she turned to stare at Kyubey, "Take a good look, she has a Soul Gem. Perhaps she has signed a contract. It's just that for some reason you can't find out."

She patted her smooth chest again. "If Zhong Hui really has any problems, I, Cang Xing, swear here and now that I will never let her go. Is that alright, Qiu Bi?"

Cupid didn't say anything more.

Its role is simply to sign contracts with magical girls and act as their guides; protecting the world is the magical girl's duty.

Moreover, apart from that, it has no special powers. If you have to say something, it is that it has many bodies and can never be killed.

Now that Cangxing refuses to listen to it, it can only tolerate Zhong Hui for the time being, no matter how much dissatisfaction it has.

At this moment, Cang Xing suddenly frowned, pressed her hand to her ear, and muttered a few words. Then she looked at Zhong Hui, smiled, and said, "Evil has been defeated, and the city's crisis has been resolved. I'd like to invite you to have a cup of coffee, is that alright?"

Taking this opportunity, Zhong Hui asked about the situation in the world. Without hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

Cang Xing walked towards him with a smile, and Zhong Hui also wore an innocent smile. When the other party was completely close, he suddenly raised the staff in his hand and launched an attack.

With a "pfft".

A sword shadow flew out and killed Kyubey in mid-air before he could even react.

Why...?

"Why should I need to explain my actions to others?"

Chapter 5: To follow the natural order is to be mortal, to defy it is to be immortal.

Upon hearing this, Cang Xing's face immediately darkened, and he was too lazy to argue with Zhong Hui about this irrelevant topic any further.

Anyway, Cupid won't really die, so there's no need to fuss over it.

Sure enough, not long after, a brand new Cupid reappeared.

This time, however, it learned its lesson. As soon as it was resurrected, it hid far away, its round pink eyes filled with resentment, staring intently at Zhong Hui, who had killed it twice in a row.

Seeing this, Zhong Hui curled his lips into a cold smile.

This is just a small lesson for them. If they dare to slander me again, then it will be a fight to the death.

He will search the heavens and the underworld without ever letting it go!

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Cang Xing chuckled awkwardly, stood in front of Zhong Hui, and called out to Qiu Bi not far away, "Now that the trouble in Hongying City has been resolved, it's time for the government and police to clean up the mess! I'm taking her with me, bye-bye, Qiu Bi."

Before Qiu Bi could respond, she grabbed Zhong Hui's fair and soft hand, and her body was instantly enveloped in a silvery light. In a flash, she transformed into a long rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

Left all alone, Kyubey stared in the direction the two had disappeared, uttering a cute, soft sound: "Why are there magical girls born without contracts... This world doesn't need uncontrolled magical girls..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ring on his ear lit up, and a gentle breeze swept by. Kyubey's figure, along with the two corpses on the ground, vanished without a trace.

……

Fangyuan City, Time Cafe.

This city is very close to Benizakura City, yet it feels like two different worlds.

While the neighboring city suffered severe damage from an evil invasion, Fangyuan City remained peaceful and serene. Pedestrians strolled leisurely on the streets, and even stray cats slept soundly on their backs.

Cangxing landed steadily with Zhong Hui at the entrance of the coffee shop, then gently reminded him, "I applied a one-minute cognitive impairment, so ordinary people can't see us for the time being. Now you can deactivate the transformation, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy our coffee in peace with these disguises once the cognitive impairment ends."

This is not an exaggeration on her part.

Magical girls are like guardians in this world, always the center of attention wherever they go. If they were to appear in a café in their battle form, they would be overwhelmed by the crowd.

With that, she snapped her fingers deftly, and her whole body was immediately enveloped in soft white light.

When the light faded, the Lolita dress and long white hair were gone, replaced by a girl next door wearing a JK uniform and white stockings.

Her appearance remained unchanged, but her eyes and brows had lost some of their sharpness and gained a touch of gentleness.

Zhong Hui nodded, and with a thought, he activated his Yin-Yang Immortal Body, preparing to transform back into a male.

The system immediately and actively cooperated.

In the blink of an eye, the aloof and ethereal young girl vanished without a trace, replaced by a handsome young man.

He was wearing a white lab coat, his hands casually in his pockets, exuding a calm and aloof air, but he was completely different from before.

This starkly contrasting scene suddenly came into view, causing Cangxing's pupils to contract sharply, his mouth to involuntarily open into an "O" shape, and his mind to go completely blank, leaving only countless questions.

who am I?

where am I?

Where is my beloved cold-faced but adorable Zhong Hui?

She stiffly raised her hand and slapped her cheek hard, then rubbed her eyes vigorously, finally confirming that what she was seeing was not a hallucination. At that moment, her worldview collapsed into pieces.

"You...I...this...how is it a man?" Cangxing was as if she had been infected with a virus.

“Your level is too low to understand my state of mind,” Zhong Hui replied calmly and nonchalantly.

In his view, Cang Xing was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. More importantly, the cultivation system of this world was extremely weak. Even if he explained the mysteries of his Yin-Yang Immortal Body to her in detail, she would still have a hard time understanding it.

This is a difference in perception, just as poor farmers in ancient times always thought that the emperor was just living in a bigger house and using a golden hoe to farm.
