What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Halfway through their conversation, the two staff members suddenly stopped, their eyes turning to the man in front of them who had delicate features and dressed in a more masculine style.

This person... is a man, right?

It should be... but this person is more androgynous.

The two exchanged a glance and came up with a reasonable explanation in their own minds.

The staff member on the left clicked the mouse a few times, then placed his fingers on the keyboard and said to Zhong Hui, whose hands were in her pockets, "Excuse me... Miss, could you please provide your identification number?"

"No," Zhong Hui replied simply.

"Stop joking around. Every citizen has an identification code from birth," Cangxing reminded him.

Zhong Hui helplessly spread his hands, "Have you forgotten? I said before that I am an Earthling. If I had to say, 360..."

A complete ID number was displayed. The staff member typed on the keyboard, then looked up with a troubled expression. "I'm sorry, the ID number is incorrect. The information displayed by the system does not match you."

Cangxing leaned over and saw a photo of a woman in her thirties with a mature and intellectual air on the computer screen.

"There's nothing we can do about that."

As Zhong Hui said, he is an Earthling, born in Jiangyuan City. He came to this world by crossing the boundary sea, not by reincarnation. Therefore, he naturally cannot possess any identity information of this world.

Cangxing didn't say much, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a photo.

On the screen, a message followed immediately.

[Zhong Hui, 22, please help me find his identification number.]

Chapter 7: Identity Revealed - Zhong Hui's Tragic Life

Tianming belongs to the official government and is backed by the government. It has an extremely large information network. It is no exaggeration to say that with just one photo, all the information about a person from childhood to adulthood can be completely extracted.

Cang Xing was unaware of Zhong Hui's thoughts, and she had no interest in continuing the charade.

Of course, if he could return to his original form, he would be happy to cooperate.

The message was sent out in less than ten seconds, and the staff member in charge of her hotline relayed the message back to her.

No information could be found for this person.

What does this mean? Cangxing raised an eyebrow.

Before she could ask any further questions, a new message popped up on her phone.

[Facial comparison has been performed based on the photo. The most similar person only has an 80% match, and this person is currently 30 years old and their name does not match.]

Cang Xing casually put her phone away, and when she looked at Zhong Hui again, there was a strange look in her eyes.

Just who is this guy?

The word "Earth" that he had mentioned before flashed through her mind involuntarily, and an absurd thought instantly popped into her head.

Zhong Hui may not have lied at all; he really did come from Earth, and this so-called Earth was probably some extremely remote, neglected wilderness.

So, who would hide in such a place?

Lawbreakers? Evil organizations? No, there's another possibility: undocumented immigrants.

In the past, China had a rule that each household could only have one child, and those who had more children than allowed would be subject to hefty fines.

Zhong Hui's family must have been poor. Under such circumstances, his parents had more children than allowed and could not afford the fines. They had no choice but to take their children and hide in the deep mountains to avoid paying the fines.

It wasn't until the policies were relaxed in the last six years that the family was able to return to the city, but probably out of fear of having to pay additional fines, they kept putting off renewing their identity documents.

Because he lacks legal status, he is unable to enjoy all the benefits that citizens are entitled to, including access to education, social security, and various subsidies.

His childhood must have been exceptionally miserable, growing up in the desolate mountains and forests without any playmates. When he finally returned to the city, he was unable to integrate into society due to his identity issues and was confined to his home for many years.

Over time, he developed some mental problems, and coupled with the fact that he had never received a formal education, he would often say some wild and strange things.

In this way, all the doubts can be explained.

Cangxing nodded, giving herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Immediately afterward, a feeling of pity welled up in her heart. She gently patted Zhong Hui's thin shoulder, her eyes shining with a motherly tenderness and love, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything is over. I will help you solve all your problems."

Zhong Hui was stunned on the spot.

Is this woman crazy? What does that expression and those eyes mean?

Seeing that the other party was about to reach out and stroke his head, Zhong Hui jumped back as if he had been electrocuted, and shouted: "Insolence! The Emperor cannot be insulted!"

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Cangxing didn't pay attention, assuming that the child had never experienced love and had developed a sense of resistance.

She smiled gently, "Where are your parents? I'd like to talk to them."

“They are not in this realm.” Zhong Hui remained vigilant, wary that the other party might inexplicably try to touch his head again.

His parents in his next life were just ordinary people; he had little memory of them and no feelings for them.

Presumably, the couple felt the same way about him, otherwise they wouldn't have personally sent him to the forbidden "Qingshan Mental Hospital" when he was ten years old. The so-called family ties were completely severed at that moment.

Now that he has crossed the boundary sea and arrived in this world, that mortal couple may have a new child and be living a good life on Earth.

However, these words were interpreted by Sousei as having a different meaning.

"He... was actually an orphan..."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a pang of sorrow. She had originally wanted to criticize those selfish and irresponsible parents in person, but now it seemed impossible.

She then pressed on, "What about your brothers and sisters? Do you have any other relatives?"

“Those who cultivate themselves ascend the Great Way alone,” Zhong Hui replied calmly.

To Cangxing, those words meant that he was all alone and had no relatives or friends.

In an instant, her pity grew stronger, and looking at the handsome young man who remained wary, a wave of sorrow washed over her.

This boy grew up in the wilderness because his parents were irresponsible. He had no legal status, never received an education, and didn't even have a friend. After his parents passed away, he had no blood relatives left and could only live alone in misery.

What a tragic life! In those twenty-two years, how much suffering did he endure that is unimaginable to ordinary people?

At that moment, a firm thought quietly took shape in Cangxing's heart: she must protect this person with a tragic fate.

"What...what's wrong with you?" Zhong Hui asked with a strange expression.

This woman has been acting strangely from the very beginning, making odd gestures, asking strange questions, and now she's even crying!

"nothing."

Cangxing wiped away her tears and sobbed, "The wind blew sand into my eyes."

"What a joke! There's no wind at all..." Zhong Hui was really curious about what the other person was thinking, that they would do something like this.

In fact, in those few short minutes, Sousei had already imagined a perfect tragic story.

She took a deep breath, stopped her tears, her eyes slightly red, and took out her phone to send a message.

Based on the photo and name I sent, register new identity information for him.

Headquarters of Destiny.

The staff member in charge of liaising with Cangxing looked at the message with a puzzled expression.

Shouldn't we call the police for this kind of thing?

And the other person seemed to be a man... She had a bad feeling that Sousei was probably in love.

However, being a professional, she didn't ask any more questions and readily agreed.

Upon receiving the reply, Cang Xing put away his phone and said to Zhong Hui with deep regret, "I originally wanted to help you with your onboarding procedures today, but it seems there's no chance today. I'll help you with the onboarding procedures after your identity is processed."

"alright."

Zhong Hui didn't care much; it was just a matter of time.

The plan fell through for the time being. The two walked out of the gate one after the other, and gradually disappeared into the distance as the two security guards saluted them.

On the street, Zhong Hui and Cang Xing's faces flashed and returned to their original appearance.

Magical girls must hide their identities; they must never reveal their true appearance, not even to their own people.

After walking for a while, Cangxing suddenly spoke up: "Let's add each other on communication, so we can stay in touch later."

“I don’t have a cell phone.” Zhong Hui shook his head.

"I can't even afford a cell phone..." Cangxing suppressed her grief, bit her lip, and asked again, "Where do you live? I can come to you later."

"No place to live."

In just a few words, Cangxing's incredibly rich inner world and imaginative mind automatically filled in even more tragic scenarios.

She grasped Zhong Hui's hand firmly, her red lips parted slightly, and said, "Come stay at my sister's house. I'll take good care of you."

"???"

Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and alarm bells rang in his mind: This woman was actually seducing the Emperor!

She must have seen through the mystery of her Yin-Yang Immortal Body, and is now deliberately using seduction techniques.

If he loses his will and succumbs, the yin energy in his body will likely be taken by the other party through dual cultivation tonight. At that time, his Yin-Yang Immortal Body will transform into a Pure Yang Immortal Body, while the other party, having taken the yin energy, will become an Extreme Yin Immortal Body.

"That's a great plan!"

Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unfortunately, the other party completely miscalculated.

With his heart filled with the myriad beings and the rise and fall of all worlds, how could he be so infatuated with romantic love or seduced by mere women?

No matter how beautiful or alluring the person before him was, in his eyes they were nothing more than skeletons and rotting flesh.

As he pondered this, he couldn't help but recall an amusing incident.

Among all the heavens, there once existed a sect called the White Bone Temple.

This is not some heretical sect; on the contrary, it is regarded by countless male cultivators as a sacred place for severing desires. Its founder was an extraordinary person who created the White Bone Visualization Diagram and spread it throughout the myriad worlds.

Whenever a cultivator encounters a beautiful woman and finds it difficult to suppress their desires, they only need to visualize this image in their mind's eye and silently recite the incantation.

"Seeing a beautiful woman as white bones makes me devoid of desire; seeing white bones as beautiful women makes me fearless."

Instantly, it can cleanse the mind of distracting thoughts and eliminate all lustful desires, allowing the mind to return to clarity. For a period of time afterward, one can remain pure of heart and desire, and devote oneself to spiritual practice.
