Chapter 485: Chapter 157: Preparing for Nascent Soul Transformation

The two favorite dishes that Mom loved to cook before were mainly simple, convenient, and healthy.

Then I served two bowls of porridge and, after placing them on the table, asked, "Want some steamed buns, big bro?"

"No."

"How about dumplings?"

"No."

"Alright then."

I originally wanted to wait for her to finish eating, but unexpectedly, Keke just sat at the table watching him.

"Come eat, big bro."

Jiang Si sat down, looking at his porridge, then glanced at the two dishes.

Keke seemed unconcerned about him, just eating on her own casually and naturally.

"I have to go to the Disaster Strategy Bureau today. Yiyi got really mad, and I need to appease her so she can help me get my job back."

Jiang Si picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

No problem, quite delicious, the taste is almost the same as what Mom used to make.

He habitually asked, "How about the school?"

"For school, I’ll have the Disaster Strategy Bureau take care of it. I can ask the bureau to let me take the final exams separately, like they did before. Yiyi said it’s alright."

"Oh, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your studies."

Though everything seemed natural.

It made Jiang Si feel a bit awkward.

He kind of missed the days when they lived separately without interfering with each other...

On TV, the news today broadcasted the Cyan Cloud Sect’s comprehensive withdrawal and reported that the Disaster Strategy Bureau and Cyan Cloud Sect had reached a partnership and plan further negotiations.

Not sure what Bingtang plans on doing, but Jiang Si doesn’t intend to interfere too much in these decisions.

Bingtang decided to cooperate with the Disaster Strategy Bureau for good reasons of her own.

In all affairs, it’s most inadvisable to have an outsider guide an expert.

Although on the path of Cultivation, Jiang Si perceives that he has gained insights, in terms of organizational management, he indeed is a pure novice.

"Big bro, I’m done eating."

"Wash your own dishes."

"Okay."

After eating, Keke tidied up the dishes and utensils.

After wiping her hands clean, she went to her room to get her backpack, then asked, "Will you be back for lunch?"

"I won’t be back."

"Then I’ll eat over at the Disaster Strategy Bureau. When will you be back this afternoon?"

Does she have to ask everything?

Jiang Si thought for a moment, "I’ll have Teacher Zi Yuan come over this afternoon for your special training. I won’t be back from class until evening, don’t need to cook for me."

"Alright, really going to class? Won’t skip class to play?" Keke joked, looking much more cheerful, "Then I’ll come back in the afternoon to wait for Teacher Zi Yuan."

When leaving, standing at the door for a moment.

Keke suddenly turned her head, waving her hand at Jiang Si, "Well, I’m off, big bro."

"Oh."

"Don’t run off anywhere, big bro, make sure to come back tonight."

"I got it."

After reminding him multiple times, Keke finally pushed the door open and left.

Only then did Jiang Si heave a sigh of relief.

Why does it feel like the pressure has increased?

He packed the remaining dishes into the refrigerator, wiped the table clean, and turned off the TV.

It did feel a bit like when parents were still around.

No idea why Keke changed so much—probably because she resolved to become stronger.

Once a person has a goal to get stronger, it alters their personality, Jiang Si was aware of that.

This indicates it’s a good thing; Keke genuinely wants to become stronger and not merely saying it.

I need to think about how to conduct the special training.

After Keke left a considerable distance, Jiang Si finally went out, locking the door, and greeted with a smiling neighbor.

"Xiaojiang, recently you’ve gotten closer with your sister, she looked really happy today."

"Our relationship has always been good."

The neighbor was momentarily speechless.

To assume there’s a change in the relationship merely by some shift in attitude is too superficial.

In our Cultivation Realm, usually, such changes indicate the other party has motives.

No doubt, Keke suddenly becoming so diligent is probably because she sees me as a stepping stone.

Intending to use my connections to gain power from Teacher Zi Yuan.

She’ll likely leverage me multiple times, so naturally, her attitude needs to be more diligent to avoid estranging me.

By any means necessary, going all out.

No wonder she’s my sister, such adept grasp of Cultivation Realm’s survival laws so quickly.

Momentarily, Jiang Si even felt a surge of pride in his heart.

My sister Keke, destined for greatness!

Leaving home, Jiang Si wasn’t in a hurry to head to school either.

Since Keke has already started diligently pursuing progress, as her brother, I can’t lag behind, must continue honing myself.

Cyan Cloud Sect’s area in Beihai is quite large.

For instance, the small factory Jiang Si is heading to now is under Bingtang’s management.

The small factory is listed under a shell company, initially purchased by Bingtang specifically for Cyan Cloud Sect to create the Illusory Moon Cave Mansion.

The Spiritual Tablet, desks, chairs, and other special props Jiang Si requested, are mostly produced here.

Walking beneath the factory, one can see a gloomy dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, few people are detained, most cells are empty.

Initially, when Cyan Cloud Sect purged the Witch Association, there were always some affiliated with it but not guilty enough to kill.

When Bingtang captured these people, she would detain them here to interrogate about the Witch Association’s information,

then erase their memories, and send them to the Disaster Strategy Bureau.

And those confirmed to be unforgivable, simply executed and buried here.

In such matters, Bingtang has always handled them nicely.

As for Jiang Si, he just charges forward, seldom caring about who the other party is.

Bingtang never stops him from doing so.

Basically, anyone bumped into by him in the Witch Association has no chance of survival; he’s too lazy for detainment and cataloging crimes. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Mixed-up with terrorists, you expect me to sort them one by one?

That’s quite optimistic.

However, Jiang Si isn’t someone who indiscriminately attacks either.

For instance, the girl before him.

Jiang Si squatted down to look at Xilan, who was pitifully lying in the cell.

He patted the cell door.

Unexpectedly, Xilan flared up, "What are you knocking for! Can’t you see this lady is napping? What’s there to be smug about! When Lord Si Motu returns, you’re all dead! Don’t think Lady Xilan is afraid of you! I’m not afraid of death, disturb my sleep one more time, and this lady will fight you..."

As she raised her head, Xilan suddenly fell silent.

All words were swallowed back.

Then in the next second, her eyes reddened, "Boss! Lord Si Motu! Why are you here? Don’t tell me Cyan Cloud Sect captured you too. Don’t worry about me, Lord Si Motu, you’re the most important, you must survive..."

"No need to worry." Si Motu sneered, "The few little girls of Cyan Cloud Sect can’t do anything to me."

"I knew it, Lord Si Motu would never lose to them!"

"Being captured was merely a test for you." Si Motu said gravely, "You passed, Xilan. I’ve already retaliated against those who bullied you. Although I didn’t kill them, they were quite badly hurt."

Xilan couldn’t hold back, tears flowing like a river, wailed loudly, "Lord Si Motu, Lord Si Motu, Xilan will always worship you, I knew you’d never abandon me, Xilan has never doubted..."

"Stop crying."

Jiang Si held back, swallowing the words "cry again, and I’ll kill you".

To be honest, he was really fed up with all the crying these girls were doing in recent days.

With tear ducts that active, maybe try becoming professional mourners at funerals, at least earn some money.

"I’ve come to take you out; you need to figure out how to bring the potion I mentioned."

Xilan choked back her tears, choked out, "What, what potion?"

"The potion to transform into a Witch using the Miracle Seed."

Xilan promptly took off her shoes.

Then Jiang Si watched as two bottles slowly seeped out from the sole of her foot. Xilan, sniffling, extracted the potion from her foot, handing it to Jiang Si, "Here, here it is, I had it ready earlier. Then I was scared it’d get stolen, so I always hid it in my body..."

Though he knew it was the ability of a Complete Witch...

Jiang Si picked the potion bottle, frowned, "Couldn’t you keep it somewhere clean?"

"Mainly, mainly because hiding it in the foot was discreet."

Xilan said a bit embarrassed, "My feet are clean, not like Twin, who never wears shoes..."

Sighing, Jiang Si wiped the bottle, "Help me investigate more about the Mirror Country at the Witch Association."

"No problem! Lord Si Motu, I’ll strip them bare, for your view!"

Actually, they’re trivial matters,

Casually responding, Jiang Si clutched the potion—this was paramount.

If he could obtain the Complete Witch’s power.

Divine transformation might be within reach!
