Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Having said that, the old pope, now full, looked around and then ran toward the trash can with the pancake wrapper in his hand.

　"..." Cong Yu sighed in dismay, while Moirai watched the old pope's retreating figure: "That person couldn't possibly be..."

　As he spoke, Moira recalled his memories from the last reincarnation: "Joseph Van Milion, right?"

　Moirai recited the name the old pope used, and looking at Old Deng, who resembled a beautiful young woman, she fell into thought.

　In the previous cycle, Moirai acted alongside Lantian Zhu, and naturally gathered a team to save the world.

　Dente was among them, and he knew about the old Pope's situation.

　Clearly, Moirai was also certain that the man named Joseph Van Milion was an old man.

　Then, with that thought in mind, Moirai looked at Cong Yu with a strange expression and said, "You really are a heartless bastard."

　Upon hearing this, Cong Yu immediately realized that Moirai had misunderstood something.

　"No... I didn't know I was like this in your eyes."

　Cong Yu spoke in a low voice, and then gave Moira a brief explanation about Pope Old Deng and the Rabbit Man.

　Then, seeing Moirai's seemingly skeptical expression, Cong Yu suddenly realized something: "That's right, I can now help remove the poison attached to the soul."

　As she said this, Cong Yu smiled and waved to the Pope, who was slowly walking over after throwing away his trash, saying, "Hey! Old Deng!"

　The old pope raised his head in response.

　Not knowing why Cong Yu was calling her, the old pope subconsciously quickened his pace; "What's wrong?"

　He was greeted with Cong Yu's smile and answer to his question.

　"Great news! Great news! I suddenly realized that I can actually turn you back into a man now!"

　"..." Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the old Pope's face clearly stiffened: "Uh... no... no need... right?"

　Old Deng said this.

　Chapter 1111 Pure Essence

　Ultimately, both the old Pope and the rabbit man refused the request to "become male again."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she accompanied Xian Kui, drinking tea in the quiet teahouse... Of course, Mo Yilai was still by her side.

　The purpose of their trip was, of course, to find the Immortal Lord and investigate what exactly the burning of determination was all about.

　In response, Xiankui took a small sip of tea and said, "Perhaps it's because they've become accustomed to living as 'them'."

　Xian Kui's statement makes some sense.

　Cong Yu glanced at the bamboo grove outside the teahouse window, nodded slightly, and then got down to business: "Moirai and I came here today to ask you about 'Determined Burning.'"

　Cong Yu found it hard to believe what Lan Tianzhu said.

　understand.

　After all, Lan Tianzhu's teaching is full of abstract words like "effort" and "from the heart... ahhh".

　Instead of learning from Lan Tianzhu, you should ask Xian Kui.

　"Ok?"

　Xian Kui put down his teacup for the moment and raised an eyebrow: "Determined to burn... I should have explained that already."

　As he said this, Xian Kui gently closed his eyes and said softly, "The answer is enlightenment, even if it means burning yourself to ashes. Even if it means dying after this attack."

　"..." This answer is much easier to understand than Lan Tianzhu's.

　Understanding is one thing, but truly putting it into practice is quite another...

　"But as you know, if Moirai and I want to use it, simply understanding the principles might not be enough."

　Cong Yu sighed, then couldn't help but smile and shake her head: "My 'heart' isn't enough."

　This time, it was Cong Yu who spoke in an abstract way.

　Xian Kui was completely confused; she had no idea what Cong Yu meant by "not enough heart".

　Even if she were a Chinese person who spoke fluent and elegant language, it would be the same.

　Only Moira showed a thoughtful expression... because she used the same heart as Cong Yu, and perhaps her heart wasn't enough either.

　After a brief moment of contemplation, Xian Kui blinked and suggested, "Such learning should ideally be witnessed firsthand."

　Perhaps only by demonstrating the process of "determined burning" up close in front of the two of them can they gain a deeper understanding.

　However, after saying that, Xian Kui immediately realized something was wrong... She couldn't help but look at Mo Yilai.

　Come to think of it, hadn't Moirai already "witnessed" it firsthand? One could even say...

　It was "personal experience".

　This Moirai was precisely the target that the Immortal Lord was determined to kill, a genuine witness to the burning.

　At this moment, the person who had been through the ordeal was sitting obediently next to Cong Yu, drinking tea with a blank expression.

　He was originally the main villain, but now he's being coaxed into being very obedient by Cong Yu...

　This strange feeling made Xian Kui want to laugh, but he held back and didn't laugh out loud.

　"Cough-cough-"

　Suppressing a laugh, Xian Kui coughed lightly and tried to sound serious, asking, "Want to go to my house?"

　As he said this, Xian Kui noticed Cong Yu's gaze as she looked at the bamboo grove outside the teahouse window and added, "Go to the bamboo grove in my backyard."

　Moirai: "..."

　Cong Yu is really something else...

　Moira couldn't help but think this.

　-

　"Actually, if you asked me to describe it, I would find it difficult to give a description that others could understand, but..."

　As Xian Kui spoke, standing in the clearing of the bamboo forest, she looked at Cong Yu and Mo Yilai in front of her: "I know what I was thinking at that time."

　"..." As they spoke, a clear breeze blew, causing the bamboo leaves in the bamboo grove that had just been transplanted to the backyard of the Xiankui family to sway.

　The wind caused Moirai's skirt to flutter gently, and the three of them to let their hair fly to one side.

　The birdsong deep in the bamboo forest gradually calmed Cong Yu and Mo Yilai's hearts, and they slowly began to feel a sense of tranquility.

　"I was thinking at that time..."

　Xian Kui spoke softly, his voice mingling with the breeze: "Why is the fate of this world so fraught with misfortune?"

　"This question lingered in my mind for a few moments, and then I realized... I didn't need to think about anything anymore."

　"Whether it works or not, I will do it anyway. No matter how difficult it is, I will break all the shackles."

　"At that time, I felt..."

　As Xian Kui spoke, and with the stirring of her emotions and determination, something dark began to rise from her body like flames.

　That is the burning of determination.

　Although it is not "fire," the determination and life force that rises up and is constantly being consumed exhibit the same nature as burning.

　From this perspective, the name "Determined to Burn" that Lan Tianzhu gave to this state is obviously very apt.

　With this posture, Xian Kui stretched his limbs and body, then continued, "Kill Moirai."

　As she said this, Xian Kui nodded very seriously, emphasizing, "At that time, I devoted 200% of my will to this one goal."

　"This is my life's goal, as if I was born to live for that moment of enlightenment."

　As Xian Kui spoke, her gaze grew increasingly sharp, and Mo Yilai didn't know why.

　I started to feel a dull ache all over my body.

　It was as if she had once been cut into ten or eight pieces by the immortal lord...

　What? It really got cut off?

　That's fine.

　……

　While Moira was experiencing phantom pain, Cong Yu noticed the black ash gradually beginning to drift from Xian Kui's body.

　That is the residue left after determination and life are constantly burned and consumed; it is the ash that symbolizes overdraft and death.

　Cong Yu remained silent, her eyes vacant as if sensing something.

　He stared blankly at the ashes.

　But his mind was still pondering the words the immortal had spoken…

　Yes, the first thing is awareness.

　Then...

　"..." The Immortal Lord himself did not explain it very clearly... This is a common problem for everyone who has mastered "loading" or even "determined burning".

　Although they know how to use it, it's difficult for them to explain how they subjectively use it.

　Just as someone who has mastered the art of "getting goosebumps on their own" is unlikely to teach others how they do it.

　However, Cong Yu accurately discerned something from what Xian Kui was saying... and that was the second key.

　Its name is——

　"Pure...?"

　Cong Yu murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly: "I see, the filling of emotions requires the purity of feeling..."

　Cong Yu nodded, suddenly realizing something.

　Moirai looked at Xian Kui, whose face was gradually turning pale, and then at Cong Yu, who seemed to have suddenly realized something.

　Moirai: "..."

　If you don't take care of Xiankui, she's going to die...

　Chapter 1112 The Godhood Plan?

　Should human emotions be quantified into "numerical values"?

　For example, my happiness right now is Lv.5, and your sadness is Lv.6... Shouldn't it be like this?

　No, perhaps not...

　The degree of sorrow experienced by someone who chooses to end their own life out of grief is incomparable to that of someone who suffers from insomnia and hunger due to sorrow.

　At least for them, their state of mind at that moment...

　The intensity of that emotion was 100%.

　There was nothing but "sadness".

　This is what "pure" means.

　……

　In reality, human emotions are composed of "proportions." Even when a person is in a state of relaxation and lethargy, they still experience the emotion of "relaxation."

　However, that was not pure.

　It might be 70% or even higher.

　But that's not enough...

　"You need to wholeheartedly express your feelings..."

　Cong Yu muttered to himself, closing his eyes to feel the wind in the bamboo forest... He simply closed his eyes and listened to the rustling of the bamboo leaves.

　Standing in front of the pavilion behind him, he seemed to be truly sensing something, and he was completely absorbed in his thoughts.

　The immortal stood before him, maintaining his "determined burning" state, with black ash constantly scattering and disappearing into the air around him.

　Moirai: "..."

　Seeing that the Immortal Lord was almost completely burned out, Moirai hesitated for a moment, wondering if the Immortal Lord was a fool.

　Even though Cong Yu was no longer looking at her, why was she still diligently and conscientiously carrying out the demonstration?

　Even if it means burning oneself to ashes, it wouldn't be a problem?
