Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls

That was when the unexpected occurred. Fortunately, the outcome was satisfactory. The memory was retrieved, and it even increased his Divine Consciousness Power somewhat. He looked down at Mu Maner at his feet, who was by then completely catatonic.

Her divine soul was already badly damaged. However, it probably hadn't reached the point of turning her into an imbecile; at worst, she might have only lost her memory.

If it hadn't been for dealing with that demon clan's mark, Wen Zhixing wouldn't have done much to her, and the situation might have been worse.

First, let's check the memories, Wen Zhixing thought. He turned his head, glanced at Mu Waner beside him, and considered, but ultimately decided against making another move.

His divine soul arrived next to the small sapling formed by the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed, extending a finger to gently touch it.

This time was different. Previously, it was two sets of memories merging and colliding. Now, however, Wen Zhixing felt like an outsider.

Everything before him was like a movie scene, images flashing swiftly past his eyes.

After a while, Wen Zhixing understood everything. Mu Maner was twenty-two years old, the twin sister of Mu Waner, born in Five Peak County.

They grew up in poverty. Their father, Mu Daniu, was a gambling addict, and their mother was often beaten and abused. Eventually, one rainy night, she abandoned her two daughters and fled alone.

After that, Mu Daniu became even more tyrannical, venting all his frustrations on the two girls. In the end, he gambled them away as betting chips.

From then on, they were forced into prostitution.

Both were in the prime of their youth, yet they were constantly abused. Mu Waner and Mu Maner resented their unfair fate, their parents, and all those who bullied them.

However, years ago, a fox demon passed by this place and directly devoured those who had bullied them. Seeing this, they willingly bore the demon clan's mark.

The fox demon then took them as its maids and later left. From then on, Mu Waner and Mu Maner quietly cultivated in this place, absorbing the vital essence of men.

To avoid exposure, they never killed anyone. At most, they just absorbed some vital essence.

Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, the fox demon returned, already severely injured. The two girls quickly offered their own vital essence. Afterward, they secretly helped plant more demon clan's marks, aiming to absorb vital essence to aid its recovery. Once the fox demon had recovered somewhat, it went straight into the local official building. Around the same time, other demons arrived in the area, seemingly searching for something.

...

After processing all this, Wen Zhixing wasn't sure what to say. It seemed Mu Waner and Mu Maner hadn't truly done anything wrong; they were just two pitiful souls.

And that fox demon... the official building... Wen Zhixing mused. The true identity of the great demon was finally clear. The local government was indeed compromised. It's just unclear whether it was this fox demon who killed the Righteous Sun Sect disciple. After all, other demons in the area could also be culprits.

Thinking this, Wen Zhixing once again touched another leaf. However, this time, its contents were chaotic, devoid of anything.

Hmm, blank? Wen Zhixing was startled. Previously, there had been some memories, but now there was nothing.

Soul Stealing, Wen Zhixing thought. He fell silent for a moment, then used his Divine Ability again, this time to steal Mu Waner's memory.

Everything happened just as before. Two more leaves appeared on the sapling.

Wen Zhixing stole the memories again and also dealt with the demon clan's mark.

The memories of Mu Waner and Mu Maner were very similar, with little difference. The leaf representing the demon clan's mark was also devoid of memory. This left Wen Zhixing somewhat disappointed.

But just at the last moment, a very familiar figure appeared in the scene. Eh? What's this? Wen Zhixing was taken aback. The person in the memory was none other than Wang Shouzhen.

...

「At this moment,」

Bai Luqiu was idly waiting outside the house. Perhaps because she had been waiting for a long time, she pondered for a moment, then quietly moved to the door. Leaning closer, she squinted, trying to peek through the crack. You brat, don't let me catch you doing anything mischievous!

CREAK.

Wen Zhixing abruptly pulled open the door.

"Eh..." Bai Luqiu froze, startled to see Wen Zhixing so close. Ah... I didn't expect him to finish so quickly!

For a moment, the two just stared at each other.

"Senior Sister, is this how you stand guard for me?" Wen Zhixing was speechless. You might as well have come in and watched with me.

"Junior Brother, would you believe me if I said I just came over to check?" Bai Luqiu straightened up, slightly embarrassed.

"Senior Sister, next time you want to watch, I'll open the door for you," Wen Zhixing said with sincere earnestness.

"Junior Brother, I really..." Bai Luqiu suddenly became agitated. Her chest heaved as she raised her hand to gesture, wanting to prove her innocence. However, she quickly faltered. No matter how she explained it, she *had* been peeking; when she started didn't change that fact.

Wen Zhixing, not intending to prolong Bai Luqiu's embarrassment, said, "Senior Sister, it's all settled. The great demon here is a fox demon."

"A fox demon?" Bai Luqiu's eyebrows twitched. A memory surfaced: there had been a previous incident in this area involving a fox demon harming people. However, that fox demon had been very fast and ultimately eluded capture.

"Also, these two are..." Wen Zhixing then recounted everything he had learned. As Bai Luqiu listened, her expression shifted from initial anger to eventual compassion.

"Senior Sister, how should we deal with these two?" Wen Zhixing asked. "Should we kill them?"

"Kill them?" Bai Luqiu looked down at the two women and eventually sighed. "Since they haven't actively taken any lives, let's spare them for now."

Although Mu Waner and Mu Maner were branded with the demon clan's mark, no one had died at their hands. Seeing their pitiful state, Bai Luqiu felt a surge of compassion.

"Alright." Wen Zhixing nodded. He didn't particularly care whether these two lived or died. Since Bai Luqiu said not to kill them, then they wouldn't be killed.

"Junior Brother, go outside and stand guard. I'll deal with these two," Bai Luqiu said.

Although Wen Zhixing didn't know what she planned, he obediently went out, closing the door behind him.

His thoughts drifted. Wang Shouzhen seems to be in that official building... I wonder if he's involved with the fox demon?

...

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

Wen Zhixing, waiting outside, grew somewhat tired. Why not? Should I also take a peek? he mused. Bai Luqiu secretly watched me earlier. If that's the case, there shouldn't be a problem if I take a quick look, right?

With this in mind, Wen Zhixing slowly crept closer to the door crack, wanting to steal a few glances. He didn't activate his Fairy Eyes—not for any particular reason, just for the thrill of it.

CREAK!

However, as luck would have it, just then, Bai Luqiu suddenly flung the door open.

"Eh..." Wen Zhixing's body stiffened. No way, what are the odds?!

"Junior Brother, is this how you stand guard for me?" Bai Luqiu said, looking at Wen Zhixing's rigid form with a playful smile. Finally, I feel better. I caught you too, you little rascal!

"Luqiu..." Wen Zhixing gave an awkward smile, feeling quite speechless. Seeking thrills really does lead to trouble!

Just then, Mu Waner and Mu Maner stepped out gracefully from behind Bai Luqiu.

"Greetings, Sir," the two said in unison, bowing to Wen Zhixing. Their voices were as melodious as orioles, extremely pleasant to the ear.

Hm? Wen Zhixing was taken aback. How did they recover so quickly? What method did Bai Luqiu use? But... did Bai Luqiu prepare these two women for me?

"Don't misunderstand. Maner and Waner are my maids. Don't overthink it," Bai Luqiu said, glancing at Wen Zhixing and puffing out her chest with some pride.

"Luqiu, that's not very fair of you. Share one with me," Wen Zhixing frowned and said.

...

「At that time,」

Inside the Righteous Sun Sect, all the Divine Communication Realm Elders had already departed for the Wonderous Palace. Only Wang Shiyang, who should have gone to Five Peak County to provide support, remained within the Righteous Sun Sect.

Wang Shiyang sighed, asking, "Yun Qing, what exactly do you need me for?" as he watched Mu Yunqing respectfully pour him tea.

"It's nothing serious. I just encountered some issues with my cultivation and wanted to consult with Mr. Wang," Mu Yunqing said cheerfully, setting down the teacup.

"You..." Wang Shiyang shook his head. He knew Mu Yunqing probably wanted him to do something again.
