Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

"The fastest way to gain the boss's trust?"

Qinghua showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing White Fox's question.

Although she really wanted to say things like kissing or intimate physical contact, upon careful consideration, that method would probably just get her beaten up.

After all, Qinghua had tried it herself.

Speaking of which, although Lady Bingtang cared very much about who stayed by the Sect Master's side, she actually didn't mind if people did sufficiently intimate things.

Like how Yumo stalked the Sect Master every day, or how Qinghua used to imitate those dating games and sneak kisses on the Sect Master—Lady Bingtang had never stopped such behaviors.

It's said that when the Sect Master returned after faking her death last time, and Yumo hugged the Sect Master crying, it was actually Bingtang who proactively asked the Sect Master to carry Yumo on her back.

Lady Bingtang didn't mind such intimate behavior, so even if White Fox really kissed the Sect Master, it probably wouldn't matter.

It's just that the Sect Master was like a dwarf landmine—allergic to others getting close. Qinghua had taken quite a few beatings back then.

But looking at that dull, wooden girl, and imagining that pretty, delicate little face getting punched twice by the boss...

Even Qinghua felt a twinge of guilt.

Tricking her into kissing the boss like this seemed a bit too mean...

"Anyway, just let the boss get to know you more. No matter what, the boss can only see the people who stay by her side for a long time. As long as you can make her remember your face, it'll be fine. Also, talk to her about things from your past. As long as it's tragic enough, the boss will still soften up. Look at that 'Water in the Spring' just now, wasn't that the case? Cry appropriately a couple of times; the boss can't handle that."

White Fox naturally took the advice given by her senior before leaving very seriously.

Qinghua returned to Beihai first. Apparently, she still had her teacher's homework, so she couldn't leave together. 'Water in the Spring' naturally left after obtaining the seed.

Although she had received Simo Tu's favor, without strength, the Miracle Seed would ultimately fall into someone else's hands.

Exhaustion makes it hard to prove fullness; a shallow path lacks a focused heart.

She had to hide while simultaneously improving her strength, preparing for Full Bloom. Otherwise, if she died by the roadside, no one would care.

"How much do you know about 'Water in the Spring'?"

Just as she was still thinking about how to initiate the conversation, hearing her teacher's words, White Fox immediately stepped closer, took out her phone, and typed out what she wanted to say. "The Great Ring Realm of Water in the Spring has some connection to the Black Mountain Realm. When it was being destroyed, Mother Jade Fox went to help."

Jiang Si glanced at her. Qinghua probably taught her that.

But it was fine. After all, letting White Fox speak herself would take half a day; this was more efficient.

Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry to return to Beihai. Instead, he led White Fox toward the suburbs.

Ruo Yun had sent a message saying the Saint Hall had found information about that old world member who stole Mirror Kingdom technology.

But Ruo Yun's Demon Squad was also trapped in that old world and couldn't get out.

Jiang Si planned to take White Fox over to check it out directly. After all, White Fox's mission was also to track down that old world member who stole Mirror Kingdom technology.

It was probably the same person.

As for the protection the Witch Association mentioned...

For the Sect Master, first beat them into cripples and then contain them.

As long as they weren't dead, it was fine.

After all, as a Magical Girl, once she reaches Full Bloom, by any reasoning, she shouldn't need protection.

There aren't many forces in this world that can threaten a Full Bloom Magical Girl.

If she had already reached Full Bloom early, that's fine too. Just beat her until she needs protection...

"The Great Ring Realm, among the old worlds, is considered relatively active."

As Jiang Si activated his spatial power, punching open a passage with fist after fist, White Fox paused behind him, then jogged to keep up behind Jiang Si. Her phone continued to emit sound. "And precisely because it's active, it was targeted."

"As far as I know, the Old World Alliance has been established for a long time, right?"

Jiang Si tore through space with his hands, realizing that the further he went, his physical body still fell a bit short.

Using dragon claws would be more efficient.

The so-called number one body cultivator below the Forming Infant stage.

When it came down to it, he was still just a stinking Golden Core.

Facing spatial power, he still seemed less than perfectly effortless.

Although the Black Dragon transformation was purely weakened now, its combat power was inferior to pure physical body, but using it via the method of the Heaven-grade martial art, the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique, after five transformations, it could still enhance body cultivator strength a bit.

"Yes. Originally, the Old World Alliance had maintained a delicate, peaceful state for many years."

White Fox also imitated Jiang Si, starting to touch and tear at the surrounding space.

Of course, she used her Blue Silver Grass.

As a result, the Blue Silver Grass and her arm were both slashed bloody by space.

Looking at her arm, then looking at her teacher who casually smashed and tore space, White Fox fell silent for a moment.

"And then?"

Accompanied by Jiang Si's urging, White Fox continued using her phone to speak. "Then, because of the appearance of the Azure Cloud Sect, the alliance fractured."

Heh, starting to shift blame onto the Azure Cloud Sect.

Jiang Si naturally understood in his heart. How long has the Azure Cloud Sect existed? How could it have such a big impact on the old worlds?

They probably just found an excuse for their own internal strife.

"After the Curse Realm was destroyed by Shion, every old world felt endangered. But some worlds were extremely lacking in energy, yet didn't dare to risk coming to the new world, afraid of being discovered by the Azure Cloud Sect."

White Fox bandaged her injured hand, then typed more fluently. "So they could only resort to mutual devouring."

Oh, then it really does seem to have some relation to our Azure Cloud Sect.

But only a little. After all, they were the ones who were afraid.

The Azure Cloud Sect never said it would definitely destroy you.

"All old worlds are like this, forced to struggle for survival because of the Azure Cloud Sect..."

"How many?"

"From what I know, about six old worlds were destroyed because of this."

Not bad, that's a decent record.

Lying at home, and heads just flow into Beihai from the river of time and space.

This must be the so-called Sage's imagery, the Old Man by the Stream.

"The strong prey on the weak. The Great Ring Realm had no means to resist Disaster Beasts. Its disappearance is normal."

Amidst the continuous crackling and shattering sounds, spatial turbulence in the distance swept over like a storm.

Jiang Si casually smashed open an entrance to an independent space, leading White Fox inside to wait safely for the turbulence to pass.

"Actually, there was."

Landing in the independent space, White Fox looked up in a daze at the illusory sky. The bizarre, kaleidoscopic colors shimmering made the dream-like independent space cause her to lose herself in gazing.

"The Great Ring Realm once had an A-level Disaster Beast that could rival an S-level Disaster Beast."

Although she was looking up dazedly at the sky, her hands didn't stop moving. The emotionless AI voice from her phone resounded throughout the space.

"Our Black Mountain Realm also once had a very powerful A-level Disaster Beast. These two A-level Disaster Beasts possessed spatial power, able to traverse through space. Relying on this characteristic, we could use the A-level Disaster Beasts to evade attacks from other Disaster Beasts and other old worlds."

Slightly surprised. These old worlds actually had the ability to completely control A-level Disaster Beasts.

He had gathered information at the Witch Association for so long. Aside from the captain's fusion technology, he hadn't heard of any Witch Association member who could completely control an A-level Disaster Beast. They mostly raised them and then threw them out as shit-stirrers, gambling on the slim chance of a breakthrough during the Magical Girls' gang-up.

But old worlds that could control A-level Disaster Beasts were as numerous as hairs on an ox. Not long ago, that wave even demonstrated what it meant to be blinded by calamity qi, what it meant to beautifully deliver A-levels to their doom.

The Witch Association should update its version.

"But then, one day, both of those A-level Disaster Beasts died."

It seemed one could hear some pain in White Fox's phone AI voice. Or perhaps it was just an illusion. "Because they lost their life-preserving A-level Disaster Beasts, the Great Ring Realm was swallowed, and the Black Mountain Realm was also in peril. Therefore, Teacher Jade Fox took a desperate risk, attempting to use Dream Core to reach Full Bloom, resulting in her death at the hands of the Azure Cloud Sect."

"That's truly despicable." Even Jiang Si frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Who had nothing better to do than kill your A-level Disaster Beasts? Or did your A-level Disaster Beasts attack people and got killed in self-defense?"

"No. Those A-level Disaster Beasts were controlled by the power of Magical Girl Dregs; they couldn't possibly attack people. They just enjoyed wandering in space and never proactively provoked others. They could only have been hunted."

"Why did you let the Disaster Beasts run around freely?"

"Grazing makes the Disaster Beasts more docile, Teacher."

Jiang Si sneered. "I never expected there to be such a wicked person, arbitrarily attacking other people's domesticated Disaster Beasts. What's the difference from a dog thief? Tell me, who was it?"

His tone carried a hint of not minding helping them get revenge.

"We don't know who."

White Fox lowered her head, her face unseen. Only her phone answered Jiang Si's question. "But back then, those two A-level Disaster Beasts, in their final moments, had approached Beihai. At that time, the Magical Girl Killer happened to be fighting Shion. Perhaps they were accidentally caught in the crossfire, or perhaps the Azure Cloud Sect specifically killed them."

"Nonsense. The Azure Cloud Sect isn't that idle..."

Then the Sect Master paused.

Wait, when the Magical Girl Killer attacked Beihai, there really were two A-level Disaster Beasts.

After fighting the Magical Girl Killer, he and Bingtang entered an independent space and found the gray-white dregs World Ghost inside.

Then after rescuing that Incubator called Xiao Yi, the Incubator started explaining a bunch of settings that made Jiang Si impatient.

So, when you had nothing better to do, you took some time to go into the spatial turbulence and casually hunted two A-level Disaster Beasts...

After a moment of silence, Jiang Si asked, "Were your A-level Disaster Beasts one that looked like a fish, and one that looked like a giant snake with horns?"

White Fox's pupils contracted slightly. "How do you know? The fish one was ours. The giant snake with a single horn belonged to the Great Ring Realm..."

"Oh, I killed them."

The shift in tone was exceptionally smooth. Even his expression was.

The spatial storm outside howled wildly, rushing in through the crack the two had entered earlier, directly tearing apart a section of space!

However, Jiang Si didn't even look. He just threw a fierce punch. The roaring storm halted. He casually grabbed the spatial barrier above and yanked it down violently.

The entire sky of the independent space tilted, firmly blocking that breach.

Watching her teacher casually manipulate space like a toy, every movement affecting the world.

Her previous slight doubts vanished like smoke.

If it was her teacher, then yes, he could kill them.

She held her phone. This time, she didn't use the phone to speak, but opened her mouth herself. "Why?"

"Convenient."

Thus, White Fox felt a faint confusion for a moment.

Just... convenient?

"Are there... other reasons?"

"Interesting."

White Fox remembered the people of the Great Ring Realm.

People struggling desperately, striving to survive, and the expressions of terror and despair when they finally lost their reliance.

She thought of Shui Shengquan's tears, his pleas.

She thought of her own mother.

She thought of the stories her mother told.

Generations of Black Mountain people struggling one after another, saving the world amidst the dregs of worlds.

The Black Mountain Realm shouldn't have been so desperate. Jade Fox, as an older generation Magical Girl, always positioned the Black Mountain Realm very well. Plus, with the intimidation and protection of that one A-level Disaster Beast, Jade Fox originally didn't need to take risks.

Everything, everything, was because those two A-level Disaster Beasts died.

Because the Great Ring Realm's A-level Disaster Beast died, the Great Ring Realm was swallowed. Because the Black Mountain Realm's A-level Disaster Beast died, Jade Fox was forced into desperation, taking a risky gamble to go to South China seeking a Dream Core for Full Bloom.

Those people sliding toward the abyss, their hands bloody, desperately clinging to the cliff face, using their entire lives and everything they had to climb upward.

Wanting to escape the abyss.

Yet they were so lightly, casually, stepped back into the abyss...

Just because it was convenient. Because it was interesting.

For a moment, those fingers digging into the stone wall seemed to grip her heart.

So forcefully, so madly, almost making her heartbeat stop.

She tried hard to suppress her body's reaction, restrain the pain and impulse that shouldn't appear.

"Your heartbeat is very fast."

Her teacher beside her pierced through her pretense. White Fox trembled for a moment, wanting to deny it.

But the heartbeat was truly uncontrollable, to the point her breathing also started becoming erratic.

Yet her teacher beside her just watched her with interest.

"How does it feel?"

"Terrible, Teacher."

Blood seeped from the corner of White Fox's mouth. "I, I might have... a problem..."

"No, there's no problem."

Jiang Si's tone was flat. "Your reaction is normal. Maintain your anger."

"But Teacher."

White Fox looked up. Her eyes, usually as calm as an ancient well, now seemed like a sea stirred by waves. "It's not just anger."

"Correct."

Jiang Si enlightened this clever student. "The thing accompanying anger is called hatred."

"Hatred."

Jiang Si revealed a smile.

Although she was staring blankly up at the sky, her hands didn't stop moving. The emotionless AI voice from her phone resounded throughout the space.

"The feeling of wanting to kill the other, wanting to tear them apart, wanting to erase them from the world. Hatred is also your strongest weapon."

"You want to become stronger, right? Experience it well, and follow your emotions, release your true thoughts, do what you want to do. I will rejoice for you."

That voice made White Fox somewhat dizzy.

The image of her mother, Jade Fox, appeared in her mind. Those who had once taken care of her. Those worlds that had once existed.

"Just sorry to Jiao Feng, making her red event turn into a white event..."

She was going to die. Unavoidable, unpostponable.

I just hope Jade Fox-sama can take good care of the younger generation of the Black Mountain Realm, take them away sooner...

Jade Fox-sama... she... is gone."

"...In life, save others, eliminate Disaster Beasts, extend the life of the world, exerting all effort for over a hundred years... White Fox, remember this."

Never forget the hatred toward Azure Cloud.

All kinds of stories, lingering echoes.

Extinguished in darkness unknown to anyone.

She opened her eyes, looking at the youth quietly observing her.

The turbulent, surging waves of the sea eventually calmed and sank into silence.

Pupils without the slightest fluctuation, profound like the ocean depths.

"Teacher."

White Fox bowed slightly, respectful yet humble.

"Fox, dare not hate."

Jiang Si remained silent for a long time, then snatched her phone and checked her reading history.

"Who told you to read 'Ji Family Cultivation: Starting as a Clan Guardian Artifact'!"

Just as he was about to criticize her further, Jiang Si suddenly looked up, gazing into the spatial turbulence.

Something had actually locked onto him from far beyond space!

Before he could speak, a familiar javelin shot toward him at a speed even his physical body could barely react to!

Jiang Si kicked White Fox away, his right hand transforming into a dragon claw without hesitation, smashing toward the javelin!

The dragon scales on his right arm were instantly blown to pieces. The javelin even pierced straight through his entire arm from the claw, bursting out from his shoulder!

If he hadn't already integrated the [Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique] researched by Helen into his body, half his torso would probably be gone...

Sensing the opponent's power had surpassed the limits of the [Fourfold Leakless Body], Jiang Si grabbed a Grief Seed, about to pull it out.

However, the next second, a pale, soft, small hand was already pressed against his forehead.

Boom!

Immense wind pressure filled his ears with shrieking sounds. The back of his head smashed against the barrier of the independent space. Without even a moment's pause, it smashed through that barrier.

Then his entire body was pressed by the other party into the violent spatial turbulence!

After full dragon transformation, his dragon scales were frantically stripped away by the spatial turbulence, followed by flesh and blood spurting and exploding out with the turbulence!

Yet Jiang Si showed not the slightest wavering, just coldly staring at the girl pressing his head.

A light purple appearance, somewhat similar to Shion, yet with slight differences.

"When Yin and Yang are reversed and in chaos."

One hand grabbing the other's wrist, the other holding the Grief Seed, Jiang Si, even as his body burst apart wildly in the spatial turbulence, still calmly intended to transform.

"Demon blood..."

But before he could finish, he saw the other's other hand holding a breathtakingly beautiful four-colored lotus.

"Dye the azure sky."

The Buddha's Fury Lotus was pressed directly onto his face!
