Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　There was still a struggle...

　Is it a silent cry? Or a desperate plea for help hidden beneath indifference and indifference?

　Perhaps she herself didn't even realize it...

　However, the nameless and surnameless immortal, who only uses "bright moon" as a summary of his past memories, is truly crawling forward.

　If there were unseen, massive, square bluestones, firmly bound to her body, she wanted to move forward... but found it difficult to drag them away.

　She would obviously be unwilling to put down the bluestone bricks.

　Lying on the ground, even with her nearly broken fingernails filled with blood mixed with mud and sand, she still crawled forward with all her might.

　Use every ounce of strength, whether it's your arms or fingers. Even if it's just using your chin to pull yourself forward.

　Anyway, we just have to move forward.

　pity……

　"You can't see the direction... Immortal Master."

　Cong Yu sighed, which caught the attention of the indifferent Xian Kui... but Xian Kui was unwilling to speak and simply waited quietly for Etzel to arrive.

　Because she can see it clearly.

　At least she thought she could see it clearly...

　The logic is simple: all we need to do is become stronger, and the stronger we become, the more we can lead humanity forward.

　That's correct, and we can't accuse her of being wrong.

　It's easier said than done. How difficult is it to become powerful enough to ignore everything?

　Before she becomes that powerful, her mind might break down first.

　【Great, what a good child…】

　I must have been blind to have fallen for you back then.

　"..." For some reason, whenever the discussion of the Immortal Kings took place, Yuan An Apophis would always chime in with his reflections.

　Is it appropriate to criticize one and praise the other?

　However, it seems that this guy really admires Xiankui.

　As Cong Yu pondered this, she fiddled with her phone while casually making conversation: "Where is humanity headed in the future?"

　Before Xian Kui could say anything, Cong Yu asked, "What should I do? How can I save this world?"

　After being asked these questions one after another, Cong Yu raised her head, looked at Xian Kui, and pointed to the book "Demon God's Museum" beside her.

　"Immortal Master, who claims to be invincible, I don't believe you haven't pondered these questions deeply."

　As Cong Yu spoke, it was immediately clear that this seemingly normal immortal was actually in a state of mental decay.

　And the only advice Cong Yu could offer was—

　"I suggest you make more friends... You're not always as out of place as you think you are."

　These are the words of someone who has been there.

　These can be considered Cong Yu's heartfelt words, words summarized from her personal experience... They are well-intentioned and genuinely kind.

　Xian Kui could tell that, so she didn't know what to say in response and could only awkwardly say, "By the way... thank you very much for what happened before, you cooperated very well."

　This refers to Congyu's earlier actions of coming to find Xiankui without hesitation with Etzel, demanding that she give the Monster Kings an explanation.

　Etzel was originally planning to leave after killing the person.

　For Etzel, things are actually very simple—whoever is persistent and dares to make a move, then he will kill them.

　But Cong Yu dragged Etzel there to demand an explanation...

　This led to the subsequent incident of "the Immortal Lord being furious and purging his inner circle," and Cong Yu was obviously not really looking for an explanation.

　Instead, they understood what the immortal leader meant and worked together to bring the matter to the forefront.

　This made mass dismissals and investigations seem legitimate.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　What a blunt change of subject.

　Cong Yu didn't reply, but just silently watched Xian Kui, who clearly didn't want to discuss the topic of "unburdening oneself and making friends".

　Until the immortal king looked away.

　Then, Cong Yu nodded in response to her words: "Yes, of course I understand what you want to do."

　"The most basic strategies and tactics have not changed much in the last hundred years. It's just that only those who have eyes in the clouds can see the whole picture."

　"The higher one's position"

　The more easily one manipulates and schemes, the more freely one can control the situation... after all, all that's needed is a "positive" outcome.

　After all, for someone of Xian Kui's level, what limits her is not "cannot do it" but "what reason to use to do it".

　Such reasons can be easily and crudely fabricated, or even fabricated in large quantities, as long as one is willing to use their brain.

　"The power struggles and schemes haven't changed in a century..."

　Xian Kui repeated what Cong Yu had said, then sighed softly, "Ah, yes... everyone around me has noticed."

　As she said this, the words that had been suppressed in her heart for so long could no longer be held back.

　After all, even if he didn't say it, Cong Yu could tell.

　So let me talk about it...

　"Many people say that this seems a bit too much... that there are other, more lenient ways to deal with those who hold positions without doing their jobs."

　As Xian Kui spoke, it was as if she had opened a floodgate: "They say I've changed, that all I see is power."

　"They said I wanted to cling to power and keep China under my absolute control, that I wanted to become the emperor."

　“I just uprooted one faction, and then the other... factions all felt threatened.”

　"How...how am I supposed to save them?"

　Xian Kui asked this question, but he didn't look at Cong Yu. He just sat quietly, gazing into the distance.

　"How can they possibly understand..."

　"You understand I don't care about power, and I won't become the hedonistic, laughable 'tyrant' they imagine me to be—I don't even care about that title… I just want them all to understand."

　"I want to fight, I want to save..."

　"I will fight again and again, I will seek eternal salvation, I will win again and again, I will save humanity from the sea of ​​corpses."

　As she said this, a clear sadness appeared on Xian Kui's face. She looked at Cong Yu and said, "Why don't they understand? They don't understand that humanity has reached a critical moment of life and death... How can I provide an answer?"

　"..."

　"..." It seems that Cong Yu's feeling was right; Xian Kui is indeed on the verge of collapse.

　The crux of the problem is that she couldn't provide an answer.

　No one, not even Cong Yu, can provide an answer to "how humanity can be saved".

　This is an imaginary number with no solution.

　It's an emptiness that doesn't know the correct answer...

　Cong Yu had no interest in discussing humanity's "solution." But he fully understood the answer to the situation Xian Kui was facing.

　"Have you ever read a book?"

　Cong Yu simply asked, casually resting his chin on his hand: "They call you a 'tyrant,' so why don't they think about..."

　"What attitude should a tyrant have towards aristocratic families?"

　"..." Xian Kui: "Elite families..."

　"Yes, that hasn't changed in thousands of years... and I don't know if you've ever read any online novels."

　Xian Kui: "What?"

　"..."

　Do you know the story of a Qi Refining stage cultivator slandering a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

　Cong Yu said this.

　Chapter 669 Allure & Power? Actually Terrifying!

　"..."

　"We won! A pleasant battle."

　"I lost."

　"..." Etzel and Xiankui spoke almost simultaneously, and Etzel was not surprised at all by this result.

　After all, the battle between the Celestials and Etzel was almost devoid of any thought about the outcome; even three Celestials couldn't defeat Etzel.

　However, Etzel won happily.

　The immortal's life was not so pleasant...

　"..." Although she knew she would lose, she never imagined that she would lose so quickly and that she would have no ability to resist at all.

　With a silent sigh, Xian Kui wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Although she felt it wasn't completely clean, she didn't bother to wipe it anymore.

　This was the first time she had been beaten like this since becoming a magical girl... and the other person hadn't even used the spell that had destroyed half a street before.

　Perhaps, this is the real King of Eccentrics.

　"Hum hum--"

　Watching Etzel fly away humming a little tune, Xian Kui felt an urge to sigh, and she did indeed sigh: "Sigh."

　What is this thing called...

　But for some reason, her mood improved a little after being beaten up... no, her mood didn't change much.

　However, I had far fewer random thoughts in my mind.

　Because she could clearly sense that she wasn't strong enough yet.

　Instead of thinking, "Even if I were invincible, could I really save everyone?"

　Because this is an extremely difficult question to answer.

　"Don't underestimate yourself."

　Then, as she slowly got up, she heard Cong Yu's words, looked up, and saw Cong Yu handing her a tissue.

　It was probably for wiping away her blood.

　The other hand reached out towards her, probably to help her up... but Xian Kui wasn't sure.

　After all, no one had ever done anything like "pulling Xian Kui up" before, so this was the first time in her life.

　Well... at least it's the first time she can be sure of it since she was old enough to understand things.

　Is it a novel experience?

　"Etzel is one of the strongest among the Monster Kings. Even I would have a hard time facing her."

　It's unclear whether Cong Yu's words were meant to comfort him or, in some way, to warn him about his place in the power hierarchy within the Immortal King's group.

　"It seems my luck is really bad... Thank you."

　Xian Kui sighed, noting that his men's first act was to cause trouble for Etzel, and thanked Cong Yu for the tissue.

　Then, he took Cong Yu's hand with his other hand, relaxed his legs again, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

　The immortal, wiping away blood, awaits something...

　She looked up and met Cong Yu's gaze, who was waiting for her to exert herself.

　"..." Xian Kui: "..."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　"what……"

　Xian Kui belatedly exclaimed "Ah!" and then used the strength of Cong Yu's hand to stand up.
