Chapter 101 You want to cultivate immortality? You can't cultivate even a little bit, but you can... (Bonus Chapter)
He was telling the truth.

Zhou Tianxuyuan's abilities, whether in terms of range, intensity, or functionality.

Both are far superior to the endless loop of the roulette wheel.

That's nothing compared to the great power!
Sakura took the cards with both hands, gently stroking the patterns on them, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Arigato~ Leaf! I will definitely take good care of it!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +16]

Tomoyo stood to the side, watching the interaction between the two. She gently pursed her lips, revealing a light and gentle smile, and the light in her eyes became even softer.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +17】

Ye Hui's heart stirred, and he was about to say something more when Zhi Shi spoke first.

"Now that the Clow Cards have been dealt with and the loop space has disappeared, we should go back to school."

Her gaze fell on Li Meiling, who was still sitting on the ground, and her tone was concerned.

"Oh, right! Meiling's feet!"

Sakura immediately realized what was happening and quickly walked to Li Meiling's side, squatting down to look at her swollen ankle with concern.

Li Meiling: "."

What kind of feet are those?!
"Meiling, does it still hurt?"

Li Meiling pursed her lips: "Just a little bit."

"I'll carry you back."

Without saying a word, Li Xiaolang walked directly to Li Meiling, bent his knees slightly, and squatted down steadily with his back to her.

"I do not need!"

Li Meiling refused without even thinking, turning her head sharply to the side with a stubborn tone, though the tips of her ears turned red.

"I don't want you to carry me! I can walk by myself!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xiaolang frowned, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Your ankle is so swollen right now, you can't even stand up straight, how could you possibly walk back to school?"

"I just don't want to!" Li Meiling's stubbornness flared up again, her eyes glistening with tears, yet she still refused to compromise. "I said I would win the championship and runner-up titles with you. The competition isn't over yet, I can't just give up like this!"

“Mei Ling…” Li Xiaolang looked at her reddened eyes and his tone softened, but he still didn’t get up.

He knew that compromising now would only hurt Li Meiling more.

Seeing this, Tomoyo suggested softly, "How about this, I'll stay here with Meiling, and you two go back to school and explain the situation to the teacher. Then we can ask the teacher to come and pick her up later?"

As expected of Tomoyo, she was even willing to temporarily abandon her filming plan to document Sakura in order to take care of her injured classmate.
Ye Hui looked at Zhi Shi.

So cute! Beautiful and kind-hearted~
Li Meiling stubbornly shook her head: "I don't want anyone to wait for me! I've already said I'm fine, there's no need for that trouble!"

Sakura squatted down and advised, "Meiling, don't push yourself! Your ankle is so swollen, how can you walk by yourself? I'll stay with you and wait for the teacher to come."

“Da me da me…!” Li Meiling shook her head even more vigorously.

Seeing that the group was about to reach another stalemate, Ye Hui clicked his tongue.

Since Li Meiling is determined to finish the race, the most direct way is to heal her injury.

He knew it! Sure enough, among the group, he was the most reliable one.

Ye Hui raised his hand and opened the system backpack, taking out a palm-sized white porcelain bottle with simple cloud patterns engraved on its surface, giving it a rather antique feel.

He walked up to Li Meiling, unscrewed the bottle, and poured out a round, plump, emerald-green pill. The pill had a faint luster on its surface and carried a faint herbal fragrance.

"What is this?" Li Meiling stopped waving her hand, staring curiously at the pill with a puzzled look in her eyes.

[Li Meiling's mood score +14]

"Healing pills, specifically for treating external injuries."

Ye Hui explained succinctly, handing the pill to her, "Eat this, and your foot will heal quickly."

Li Meiling took the pill, examined it carefully between her fingertips, and asked with some skepticism, "Just one pill can heal a sprain so quickly? My ankle was swollen for several days after I sprained it before."

[Li Meiling's mood score +12]

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow and gestured for her to look at Li Xiaolang beside him: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Xiaolang. He has seen me use pills to heal my injuries before."

Li Meiling immediately turned to look at Li Xiaolang, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Li Xiaolang nodded, clearly recalling his experience with the Lan brand.

"His pills are indeed very effective."

Once confirmed, Li Meiling no longer hesitated and put the pill into her mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, a sweet medicinal taste spreading on the tip of the tongue and sliding down the throat into the stomach.

Not a few seconds passed.

A tingling warmth spread from my stomach, flowing down my bloodstream to my ankles.

The swollen ankle was visibly fading its purplish-blue color, and even the abrasions on the knee were slowly healing, leaving only faint marks that soon disappeared.

"This...this is...this is too amazing!" Li Meiling looked down at her ankle, her face full of shock.

She subconsciously shifted her position.

The excruciating pain I had been experiencing has completely disappeared.

My ankles move freely and easily, without any abnormalities.

It seems to be all better?

She tentatively stood up, even jumping lightly twice on the spot, her shock gradually turning into delight.

"It's really healed! It doesn't hurt at all anymore! Ye Hui, your pills are amazing!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +19]

Looking at the emotion value displayed by the system, Ye Hui felt a surge of joy.

Meiling is much more generous with her emotional points than others.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Now that you're healed, that's perfect. You can continue running the last part of the race, which will be a reward for your previous perseverance."

"Yes!" Li Meiling nodded vigorously, her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.
[Li Meiling's mood score +18]

She grabbed Li Xiaolang's hand, her voice excited: "Xiaolang, let's go! Even though it took a little longer, we're sure we can still get the championship and runner-up!"

Ye Hui clicked his tongue inwardly.

Meiling probably forgot.

I was stuck in a loop and wasted so much time.

The other runners are probably already close to the finish line.

If they run now, they can only get the bottom two spots at best.

However, in a sense, they can be considered "champion and runner-up".

"Hey! Meiling! Slow down!"

Li Xiaolang stumbled as she pulled him, but quickly regained his balance and ran away with her pull, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

Sakura watched the two figures running away and cried out, "Wait for me! Let's run together!"

Ye Hui turned around and looked at Zhi Shi, who was still standing there, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Let's go too, Zhi Shi, let's go to the finish line and see what they look like."

Tomoyo nodded, raised the camera and aimed it at the three people running in the distance, her purple eyes full of tenderness: "Okay, let's record this last part too."

"I'll take you there on my sword, so we can get to the finish line before Sakura and the others, and then we can capture the whole scene of their sprint."

Ye Hui winked at Zhishi.

"Hi~!" Tomoyo nodded gently, a smile flashing in her eyes, and extended her hand without hesitation.

Her fingertips were slender and fair, with a slightly cool temperature.

Hey~

Today was another day I held Tomoyo's hand in Sakura's name!

"Hey! Have you two forgotten about me? I'm still here!" Xiao Ke's dissatisfied voice suddenly came through the earpiece.

Ye Hui pretended not to hear, and quietly tightened his grip on Zhi Shi's hand.

With a slight movement of spiritual energy, the two figures instantly took to the air and flew towards the school.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +9]

The marathon is still ongoing.

On the playground of Yuzhi Elementary School.

The finish line was surrounded by students from all grades.

The colorful cheering flags fluttered in the wind.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi landed quietly in an inconspicuous corner of the playground.

He let go of Tomoyo's hand, feeling somewhat lost.

"Let's go, let's wait for them at the finish line." Tomoyo smiled slightly and took the lead.

Ye Hui nodded and followed her to the finish line.

It didn't take long.

Three familiar figures appeared on the track in the distance.

It was Sakura, Li Xiaolang, and Li Meiling.

"The last group of fourth-grade runners is about to reach the finish line. Let's give them a round of applause!"

The loud voice of Mr. Terada came over the loudspeaker, instantly igniting the atmosphere at the scene.

"Sakura! Go for it!" Tomoyo held the camera steadily with one hand, the lens locked on Sakura's figure.

He waved his other hand vigorously toward the track, his voice full of encouragement.

The students on both sides joined in the cheers: "Go! Charge!"

Hearing the cheers from the surroundings, Sakura and her two friends mustered all their strength and began their final sprint.

They chased each other, their steps faltering, yet both exuding an indomitable spirit.

Finally, amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The three of them crossed the finish line almost at the same time, and the ribbons fell from the sky and landed on their shoulders.

"Huh...huh..."

After crossing the finish line, Sakura put her hands on her knees, panting heavily, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Tomoyo quickly walked to Sakura's side, took a clean towel out of her bag, and handed it to her.

"Sakura, you did a great job! You looked so cool when you sprinted just now, I took pictures of it!"

Ye Hui walked over and said with a smile, "Congratulations on successfully completing the entire race, that's amazing!"

"Thank you, Yezi!" Sakura took the towel and wiped her sweat. She recovered her strength quickly and soon regained her composure.

"Hmph, what's this!" Li Meiling wiped the sweat from her forehead, her tone stubborn, but her steps were unsteady, clearly she was so tired she could barely stand.

She turned her head and looked at Li Xiaolang, who was also panting beside her.

The next second, she suddenly pounced on him, wrapped her arms tightly around Li Xiaolang's neck, and hung on him.

"Little Wolf! We finished the race together!"

Li Meiling used her favorite pose, which was also her "exclusive locking technique" against Li Xiaolang.

She grabbed Li Xiaolang's neck with both hands.

Li Xiaolang, who was already exhausted, turned even paler after she tightened her belt like that.

His eyes started to see stars, and his breathing became rapid.

"Loosen your grip"

The students around couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, and the chatter became lively.

"Li is so cute!"

"They have such a good relationship!"

"So they really are childhood sweethearts who were betrothed as children?"

Ye Hui listened to his classmates' discussion and shrugged.

Although Li Meiling is straightforward to the point of being impulsive, she is also genuinely adorable.

Although they didn't win a prize in the end.

But for her, it was being able to cross the finish line with Li Xiaolang.

Perhaps it's more important than any medal.

Ye Hui glanced at Tomoyo, who was recording Sakura's post-match thoughts.

He met her gaze.

They both saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes, and then they tacitly looked away.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

Li Xiaolang was worried that Meiling might still have some problems with her ankle, so he took her away first, intending to go back and take a closer look.

at this time.

Touya and Yukito also walked out from the crowd.

"Sakura, you ran really well!"

Yukito walked up to Sakura, smiled, reached out and gently patted her head, his tone tender.

Sakura's face flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Thank you, Yukito-nii..."

Touya crossed his arms and leaned against the railing, speaking casually, "Why did it take you so long to get here? Weren't you running in the lead before? Yuki was worried that something had happened to you."

Sakura subconsciously touched her head, her eyes darting around with a hint of guilt: "Ah, this is because... because Meiling got injured along the way, and we stopped to take care of her for a while, which caused the delay."

Touya stared at her for a while, his gaze sharp, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply nodded slightly and said, "Oh."

Seeing that her older brother wasn't going to pursue the matter any further, Sakura secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Hui, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Touya, a family hero who even intimidates his own sister.

"Oh, right," Yukito suggested with a smile, "I'm going to visit Sakura's house later. Since Sakura has finished her race, why don't I cook a celebratory meal?"

Even if you don't get a place, it's still worth celebrating to persevere to the finish line!

"Eh? Yay!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly, like stars that had been lit up, her tone full of anticipation.

She had been looking forward to the meal that Brother Snow Rabbit made for a long time!
Seeing Sakura's happy expression, Touya hummed softly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

He glanced at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, and unusually invited them, "Why don't you come over tonight too? It'll be more fun with more people."

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +7】

Ye Hui was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, it was Touya who took the initiative to invite them to his home for dinner; he had never been so polite to them before.

“Okay, then we won’t stand on ceremony and bother you.” Tomoyo was the first to agree with a smile, her tone gentle and polite.

Ye Hui nodded as well.

Since Tomoyo went, there's no reason for him not to go.

In the evening, the setting sun painted the sky a warm orange hue.

When Ye Hui arrived at the Kinomoto family's house, he saw that Tomoyo had just arrived as well.

A gentle breeze rustled her hair, making it sway softly and give it a gentle sheen.

hey~
He and Tomoyo... they really are destined to be together.

"Ye Zi, what a coincidence!"

When Tomoyo saw him, her eyes curved into a smile, and her eyelashes fluttered gently as she spoke.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +3】

Ye Hui looked at her gentle appearance, the setting sun shining on her, making the girl look even more serene and beautiful.

He felt a slight itch in his heart, coughed lightly, and then replied softly, "Hmm, what a coincidence."

"You guys are here!"

The two had just raised their hands to knock on the door.

Sakura, wearing an apron with a cherry pattern, peeked out of the kitchen, her cheeks dusted with white flour, looking a bit like a cute little kitten.

"We're preparing dinner. Why don't you sit in the living room for a bit? It'll be ready soon!"

Tomoyo suddenly pulled out a camera from somewhere, raised it, and snapped a picture of the scene.

Sakura: "(°ー°〃)"

"Sakura, do you need any help?" Tomoyo smiled, put away her camera, stepped forward, and looked at Sakura's flour-covered face with concern.

"Uh, no, no need!" Sakura waved her hand, smiling brightly. "With me, my brother, and Yukito helping out, that's enough. You guys just sit and wait to eat!"

After saying that, she quickly retreated back into the kitchen.

After Ye Hui and Zhi Shi entered the house, they sat on the sofa in the living room.

The living room is decorated with heartwarming family photos, and the aroma of food wafts through the air.

The commotion came from the kitchen.

"Hey! Brother, don't take my chopsticks! I haven't even tasted them yet!" Sakura huffed.

"Xue, should this carrot be diced or shredded?" Touya's voice was unusually patient.

"Cut it into small cubes, Sakura. Remember to be careful when you're chopping vegetables, keep your fingers away from the blade," Yukito's admonitions were interspersed throughout.

As Ye Hui listened to the lively sounds inside and looked at the adorable Tomoyo beside him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

This kind of warm and lively atmosphere really makes people feel warm inside.

"Yezi, what are you thinking about?" Tomoyo's voice came gently, pulling him back to reality.

Ye Hui shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just think the atmosphere at Xiaoying's house is really nice and warm."

Upon hearing this, Tomoyo's purple eyes softened, and her voice became gentle: "Yes, Uncle Fujitaka is very kind, and although Touya is sharp-tongued, he actually cares a lot about Sakura. Sakura is also so cheerful. They are all very kind people."

Actually, Tomoyo-chan, you are too~

Gentle and lovely!
Ye Hui added in his mind.

Tomoyo turned her gaze toward the kitchen, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "It's so wonderful to be Sakura's friend. I always feel happy when I'm with them."

Looking at the sincerity in her eyes, Ye Hui suddenly had a thought.

Tomoyo likes Sakura so much; what if she finds out about her nemesis mission later?
He couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, Tomoyo probably doesn't know about this.

Moreover, he was a terrible nemesis.

Not only did he never cause Sakura any trouble, but he also consistently helped her solve various problems.

嘛～
If Tomoyo really knew about his nemesis mission, she might even sacrifice herself for Sakura to prevent him from becoming Sakura's real nemesis.

He was able to successfully turn them to their side!
"I think so too." Ye Hui suppressed his distracting thoughts and smiled slightly at Zhi Shi.

Dinner was ready in no time.

Snow Rabbit carried the last dish of omelet rice out of the kitchen.

Touya and Sakura also set the table with the dishes, creating a table full of fragrant food.

"I'm starting!" Everyone said in unison, clasping their hands together.

"Mmm! Snow Rabbit Bro's omelet rice is so delicious!"

Sakura scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, her eyes squinting happily, her cheeks puffed out like a satisfied little squirrel.

"As long as Sakura likes it."

Snow Rabbit smiled gently at her and served her another spoonful.

Ye Hui also took a bite.

Each grain of rice is distinct, tightly wrapped in a golden, smooth egg skin.

When you bite into it, the soft and tender egg skin and the sweet aroma of rice burst forth in your mouth.

The ketchup has a perfect balance of sweet and sour, making it neither greasy nor cloying, and it really enhances the flavor. The taste is truly fantastic.

The group enjoyed their meal immensely.

The meal ended in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

after eating.

Fujitaka walked over carrying an exquisite cake plate.

On top is a freshly made cheesecake, sprinkled with a fine layer of powdered sugar.

Wow! It's a cheesecake made by Dad!

Sakura cheered immediately upon seeing the cake, her eyes filled with surprise.

The cheesecake her dad made was one of her favorite desserts!

The aroma of cheesecake wafted from Xiao Ke, and it couldn't resist flying down from upstairs. Before its wings had even settled, it hid in the shadows at the corner of the stairs. Its two paws gripped the handrail, its round eyes fixed on the cake on the table, and it couldn't help but make soft swallowing sounds, looking utterly longing.

Ye Hui noticed its little movements, turned his head slightly, and quietly gave it a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you."

Xiao Ke immediately understood, chuckled, its tail tip wagging, and then flew back to its room to wait obediently for its share of the cake.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +13]

……

That evening, after Ye Hui had eaten and drunk his fill, he reminded Xiao Ying to bring Xiao Ke a cake.

He then bid farewell to Sakura and Tomoyo, and returned to his villa.

Back home, instead of doing anything else, he sat on the living room carpet and began to study the new supernatural powers he had acquired during the day.

Zhou Tian Xu Yuan!

He looked at the description on the system panel, gently stroked his chin, and murmured, "Use the power of the cycle of reincarnation to trap the enemy in an endless abyss of cycles..."

I pondered it carefully for a moment.

Ye Hui gradually sorted out his thoughts.

Simply put, it's about creating a completely empty cage.

Trapping the enemy's mind and senses within, leaving them to experience eternal solitude in endless darkness.

This is practically a nuclear weapon in the realm of psychological warfare!
It's even harder to bear than a simple physical attack!
He further dissected the function of supernatural powers.

There are three main core effects.

A spatial cage, the disintegration of time within the cage, and the deprivation of the enemy's five senses.

"Let's test the effect of the spatial cage first."

Having made up his mind, Ye Hui raised his hand towards the open space in front of him and softly shouted, "Zhou Tian Xu Yuan!"

As he finished speaking, a special spatial area suddenly formed in the air in front of him.

It is completely invisible to the naked eye and cannot be touched.

Only through Ye Hui's own spiritual power could he perceive the spatial fluctuations contained in that area, which were completely different from the surroundings.

However, with his current level of cultivation, he is not yet able to reset the flow of time within the space and create a cycle of reincarnation.

It can only barely construct a basic cage framework, but it's still not bad.

Ye Hui withdrew his hand and his gaze returned to the system panel.

I kept pondering the eight words: "All five senses are eroded, and time and space are destroyed."

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying this supernatural power seemed.

Those imprisoned in the Void will completely lose all their senses.

There was no light to be seen and no sound to be heard.

It has no smell and no taste.

You can't even feel any physical presence when you touch it.

Even the concept of the passage of time will disappear.

The only feeling one can get is that one is falling endlessly into an endless abyss of darkness.

"Who can withstand this?" Ye Hui couldn't help but sigh.

Don’t talk about ordinary people.

Even a Clow Card would probably have a mental breakdown if locked up like this for a while, right?

He couldn't help but ponder it.

I wonder how far I can unleash this supernatural power with my current cultivation level?
How long can sensory deprivation last?
How large can the spatial cage be?
"Unfortunately, unlike other supernatural powers, I can't just have anyone try this sensory deprivation technique on..."

Ye Hui sighed, and a dangerous thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Or, next time Xiao Ke wants to throw a tantrum at Xiao Ying, could he lock her up for a fraction of a second?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suppressed it.

No, no, even though Xiao Ke is naughty, it wouldn't be good if it left any psychological trauma.

Let's wait until we encounter a real enemy before having a real-world test.

After studying the new supernatural power.

Ye Hui stood up with satisfaction, walked to the cultivation room, and began his cultivation for the day.

Cultivate, cultivate!
For greater strength!
He mentally encouraged himself, closed his eyes, and guided the spiritual energy within his body to circulate slowly along a fixed route.

A faint aura of spiritual energy gradually enveloped his body.

Early the next morning.

The bell for Yuzhi Elementary School hadn't rung yet.

Ye Hui had already entered the classroom.

He had just sat down in his seat when he felt a burning gaze fall on his back.

He looked up in confusion, following his instincts, and met Li Meiling's gaze.

She immediately looked like a thief caught red-handed, her eyes darting away, her fingers gently twisting the hem of her clothes, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Is something the matter, Li Meiling?" Ye Hui asked when he saw that she hadn't spoken.

“I…” Li Meiling became even more hesitant when he asked her that question, and her voice lowered.

Her original fiery temper had vanished without a trace, making her completely different from her usual self.

She slowly stood up from her seat, holding a beautifully packaged box in both hands.

The light pink wrapping paper was neatly arranged and tied with a light purple ribbon.

It's clear that it was prepared carefully.

She walked to Ye Hui's desk and gently placed the box on the table.

"This... is for you!" Her voice wasn't loud, and she didn't dare to look Ye Hui in the eye, but her tone was very serious.

"What's this?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the box, somewhat surprised.

Li Meiling took a deep breath and said in one breath, "This is a thank you gift! Thank you for healing my foot with the medicine yesterday, allowing me to run the marathon with Little Wolf without giving up halfway."

[Li Meiling's mood score +15]

"You're welcome, it was just a small favor. You can take your things back."

Ye Hui smiled and pushed the box back.

It's just a basic healing pill.

He still had quite a few things in his backpack, so it wasn't really a big deal.

In his view, the best "thank you gift" is actually Li Meiling's genuine emotional support.

Moreover, the spiritual food he made himself was far more delicious than ordinary pastries, so he was not lacking in food.

But then I thought, what if Tomoyo made this gift...

Ye Hui subconsciously glanced at Tomoyo diagonally in front of him.

She was bending down to organize her notes, and the sunlight fell on her hair, so gentle that it was hard to look away.

If it's a pastry made by Tomoyo herself, he will definitely accept it without hesitation.

"no!"

Li Meiling's attitude was exceptionally firm.

Seeing that Ye Hui didn't intend to accept the gift, she pushed the box towards him again.

"I never owe anyone favors! You must accept this!"

The corners of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Are they playing some kind of Sokoban game?
Li Meiling's voice was a bit loud, attracting curious glances from the surrounding classmates.

Sakura and Tomoyo also looked over.

"Ye Zi, Mei Ling, she..." Xiao Ying put down her pen and looked at the two of them in confusion.

Zhi Shi smiled gently: "You're thanking Ye for the pills yesterday, aren't you?"

Ye Hui looked at Li Meiling's expression, which seemed to say, "If you don't accept it, I'll stick with you to the end."

He sighed helplessly.

Alright, alright, it's just some pastries. It's better to accept them than to stand here and attract attention.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. Thank you for the gift, Li Meiling."

Ye Hui reached out and took the box, placing it in his desk drawer.

I saw him accept the gift.

Li Meiling visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of smugness appearing on her face.

She gave a soft hum, as if she had accomplished some important task, and turned to quickly return to her seat.

This girl is hopeless.
Ye Hui shook his head as he turned his gaze away from Meiling's retreating figure.

During the break.

Ye Hui opened the box and took a look.

There were several small pieces of strawberry cake inside.

The cream is garnished with fresh strawberry pieces, and the edges of the cake show signs of hand-kneading, clearly indicating that it was made by Li Meiling herself.

He picked up a piece, turned around and handed it to Tomoyo diagonally in front of him: "Tomoyo, come and try Li Meiling's cooking? It looks pretty good."

Then, he picked up another piece and handed it to Sakura in front of him: "Sakura, have one too."

"Thank you, Yezi." Tomoyo smiled as she accepted the cake.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +2】

"It looks really delicious!" Sakura happily accepted it.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +3]

Ye Hui picked up a piece himself and took a bite.

The sweetness of strawberries blends perfectly with the creamy smoothness, creating a refreshing and delightful flavor that is much better than I expected.

Hmm, if we divide it like this, the problem will be solved.

It's not wasteful, which is good.

But Ye Hui didn't expect that this thank-you gift was just the beginning.

All day long.

Li Meiling no longer stared at him furtively, but openly and honestly.

During lunch break.

Ye Hui stood under the cherry blossom tree behind the teaching building, chatting with Xiaoying and Zhishi about the fun things that happened during yesterday's marathon.

Tomoyo suddenly glanced back without making a sound.

Then she turned her head, her eyes filled with a hint of teasing, and said softly, "Ye, Meiling is looking at you again~"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

“Yes, yes.” Sakura nodded seriously, followed Tomoyo’s gaze, then turned back to Ye Hui and said, “She’s been standing over there watching for a long time, but she hasn’t come over yet.”

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

Ye Hui rubbed his forehead.

It's obvious that Li Meiling was curious about yesterday's "cultivation" and "elixirs".

I wanted to ask more questions, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

He should resolve this matter first.

Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to be stared at like that.

Moreover... he glanced at Tomoyo beside him.

just in case
What should I do if Tomoyo misunderstands and gets jealous?
“Li Meiling, you’ve been standing there looking at me. Is there something you want to ask me?” Ye Hui asked, speaking to her.

Li Meiling was stopped on the spot, and her body visibly stiffened.

He quickly walked over, his hands clenched nervously together, looking somewhat guilty: "I...I really want to ask you something!"

"What is it? Tell me." Ye Hui already had the answer in his heart, but he still waited patiently for her to speak.

Li Meiling took a deep breath and finally mustered up her courage: "That thing you mentioned the other day... cultivating immortality, can I... learn it?"

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Ye Hui, her gaze tense.

Ye Hui pondered for a moment.

Can Meiling cultivate immortality? This is indeed a question that needs careful consideration.

He was able to embark on the path of cultivation because of the cultivation aptitude rewarded by the system's missions.

Zhi Shi was able to cultivate immortality because she possessed spiritual power and had a physique naturally suited for cultivation.

Of all the people he has met so far, only Tomoyo possesses this quality.

What about strawberry bells?

Does she possess a spiritual root suitable for cultivating immortality?
After pondering for a moment, Ye Hui looked up at her and said, "To determine whether you can cultivate immortality, I need to test whether you have the aptitude for it."

"Qualifications? How are they tested?" Li Meiling immediately asked.

"Stretch out your hand, and I'll use my spiritual power to examine it and find out," Ye Hui said.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Meiling immediately extended her right hand, palm up, fingers slightly clenched, and even subconsciously softened her breathing.

Ye Hui extended a finger and gently placed it on her wrist, slowly probing a trace of spiritual energy, so faint as to be almost imperceptible, into her body.

It was completely different from the intense spiritual resonance I felt when I explored the world before.

This time, his spiritual power within Meiling's body was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no ripples whatsoever.

There was no indication of the existence of any spiritual root.

No spiritual roots.

Ye Hui came to a conclusion in his mind.

It seems that Meiling is just a girl with slightly better physical fitness than the average person.

They do not possess the basic conditions for cultivating immortality.

He withdrew his finger, shook his head gently, and said with a hint of regret, "I'm sorry, Meiling."

"You don't have the spiritual root suitable for cultivating immortality, so you can't cultivate immortality like me and Zhi Shi."

Upon hearing this result, the light in Li Meiling's eyes instantly dimmed.

She lowered her head dejectedly, her eyelashes obscuring the emotions in her eyes, and her shoulders slumped slightly.

[Li Meiling's mood score +28]

Wow!

That's really generous!
Sakura blinked as she looked at her, took a step forward, and gently patted her shoulder.

She gently comforted her, "Meiling, it's okay. Even if you can't cultivate immortality or use magic, you're still amazing!"

Li Meiling: "."

"No...nothing..." Li Meiling took a light breath and murmured to herself, somewhat disappointed.

"As expected... it still won't work? I'm destined to be just an ordinary person..."

Seeing her distraught state, Sakura and Tomoyo both pursed their lips: "Meirin..."

Ye Hui tilted his head.

He was simply stating the facts.

There's nothing we can do; if you don't have the qualifications, you don't have the qualifications.

at this time.

He suddenly remembered the description of Li Meiling in the system log.

Bodybuilding girl!

correct!

Ye Hui spoke again: "Although you don't have spiritual roots and can't cultivate immortality, that doesn't mean you can't become stronger."

"What do you mean?" Li Meiling suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Ye Hui.

[Li Meiling's mood score +26]

Oh my god!

More!
Ye Hui smiled and began to explain the body training theory he had made up on the spot.

"Besides cultivating immortality, there is another path to become stronger, called body training!"

"Physical training?" Li Meiling looked up.

“That’s right.” Ye Hui nodded and explained seriously, “Body training doesn’t require spiritual roots; it only requires constantly tempering one’s physical body.”

"Through training and honing, we can forge our bodies into the most powerful weapon."

"When practiced to the extreme, every punch and kick has the force of a thousand pounds. Even cultivators may not be able to easily defeat the most skilled body cultivators."

This explanation was, of course, something he came up with on the spot.

After all, apart from him and Zhi Shi, no one understands the true principles of cultivating immortality.

Ultimately, isn't it up to him to decide?
Moreover, he was the one who taught Zhi Shi how to cultivate, so naturally he wouldn't expose him.

Li Meiling's eyes grew brighter as she listened, and her previous dejected expression vanished.

She grabbed Ye Hui's arm eagerly and asked, "Then how do I train my physique? Can you teach me?"

[Li Meiling's mood score +24]

Ye Hui's expression instantly turned serious: "Body cultivation is different from immortal cultivation; it requires enduring pain that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"Day after day of high-intensity training, honing muscles and bones, and forging the body, the process will be very tough."

"Moreover, body training requires a lot of resources, such as medicinal herbs that can strengthen the body and pills that can help temper the body, which are not easy to obtain."

"Most importantly, physical training requires a suitable exercise method to guide you, otherwise it is easy to injure your body."

He shrugged: "Unfortunately, I don't currently have any suitable body-training techniques for you."

[Li Meiling's mood score +23]

It seemed that Li Meiling's newly ignited hope was about to be extinguished again.

Ye Hui changed the subject and offered another glimmer of hope: "However, although I don't have any ready-made cultivation techniques, I can provide you with some assistance to help you lay a foundation."

[Li Meiling's mood score +26]

He pursed his lips, looking serious.

Of course, he deliberately went up and down like that.

The purpose is to make Meiling's emotions fluctuate more and generate more emotional points for him.

While talking.

And actually, he wasn't entirely talking nonsense.

The body can be made stronger by exercising and using elixirs.

Ye Hui took out a small jade bottle from his system backpack, poured out a light brown pill, and handed it to Li Meiling.

"This is a Body Tempering Pill. After taking it, it will slowly penetrate your muscles and bones, helping you strengthen your physical body and increase your body's endurance. Even if you do high-intensity training in the future, you will not be easily injured."

This is certainly not a body-tempering pill.

He hasn't unlocked the true formula for the Body Tempering Pill yet.

This is just an improved version of the "Mighty Pill" made from ordinary elixirs.

The effect of immediately increasing strength after taking it has been removed.

It only retains the basic function of slowly strengthening the physical body.

Although it cannot compare to real body-refining pills, it can still provide a decent auxiliary effect for ordinary people.

Li Meiling stared at the pill in her hand, then looked up at Ye Hui.

Finally, without the slightest hesitation, she tightly gripped the pill in her hand.

Then he bowed deeply to Ye Hui.

"Thank you, Ye Hui! Even without the cultivation technique, I will work hard!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +40]

Ye Hui smiled and nodded as he looked at her serious expression.
