The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"No one lives on the first floor. Kodori and the others, as well as I, live on the second floor." Walking along the semi-circular stairwell, Tacheng Cat, like a competent tour guide, introduced the area to Jiang Jing.

Go up to the second floor, there is a straight corridor with apartment suites on both sides.

"Each room has a living room and a bedroom, with a private bathroom and shower. Minister Rias and Senior Akeno live on the third floor, but the entire third floor has been opened up, with only two rooms."

"Huh, I was wondering what I forgot. Youdou doesn't live here?" Jiang Jing suddenly remembered that something seemed to be missing.

“He moved out.” Tacheng Xiaomao’s gaze was somewhat strange.

"Move out? Why?"

“Yuto said that there were only women here, and he wasn’t used to living here alone as a man, so he told the department head and moved back to where he was staying.”

"Uh...aren't women good enough? Could it be that Yudou...hiss..." Jiang Jing shuddered, goosebumps suddenly rising on his body.

Seemingly sensing what Jiang Jing was thinking, Toujou Koneko, who was close to Yuto, explained for him: "Kōta, don't get the wrong idea. Yuto is just not used to dealing with women, not that he likes men."

"Cough...that's good."

"This room belongs to Minister Rias." The kitten led Jiang Jing to the third floor, pushed open the double doors, and a luxurious room decorated in white and red appeared before Jiang Jing's eyes.

"Tsk tsk... No wonder they're demon nobles, they're so particular wherever they go." Jiang Jing looked around as he walked in, but he wasn't particularly impressed. He had stayed in rooms that were even more luxurious than these, so what was there to be impressed about?

He remembered that he once ruled the harem palace of a cultivation dynasty, where the floor was paved with divine crystals, the beams were made of the bones of divine dragons, and the curtains were made of the silk of the immortal Ice Jade Silkworm Maiden.

The decorations are further embellished with artifacts used to annihilate alien races, as well as divine flowers and herbs.

As for the women inside, they couldn't possibly exist in that palace without being exceptionally beautiful and of extraordinary birth. Every night, the enormous bed in the riverside palace, big enough to sleep dozens of people, would shake violently, revealing those alluring figures...

Cough cough... Jiang Jing shook his head, trying to shake off the pink memories that surfaced in his mind.

Looking at Jiang Jing, who was suddenly shaking his head, in Himejima Akeno's bedroom, Toujou Koneko asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sorata? Is Akeno-senpai's room not okay?"

"What I find strange is, what is Zhu Nai doing with those things?" Jiang Jing pointed to a pink handcuff on a cabinet in the corner of the room.

“…This, haha…Sorata, let’s go down.” After saying that, Toujou Koneko, with a strange expression, took the lead and walked out, pretending not to know what it was.

"These things, as expected." Jiang Jing withdrew his gaze from the handcuffs and the whip hidden in the cabinet, a playful look on his lips, and followed them out.

When he was treating Zhu Nai's injuries a couple of days ago, he noticed that she seemed to have a bit of a masochistic tendency. It seems that he can ask her to play this game sometime.

When they came down, the items in the middle of the living room had been moved, and Reimu Hakurei was setting up a sealing array using talismans and the materials she had brought.

"Have you found a complete solution?" Jiang Jing approached Himejima Akeno.

Himejima Akeno shook her head slightly: "We've found the root cause, but we can't completely solve it."

"According to the findings of Chief Kazami and Shrine Maiden Hakurei, Chtholly and the others were transformed into golden fairies by fusing a fragment of the soul of a star god from their world with the soul of a child."

"Their race is a kind of undead race. Their magic power comes from the fragments of the Star God's soul within them. They use their past life's soul as a bridge to consume magic power, which is equivalent to consuming the fragile soul power of their past life."

"And they themselves consume magic power while they are alive, albeit very little. When their souls are completely depleted, that is, when they die, the fragments of the Star God's soul return."

After Zhu Nai explained briefly, Jiang Jing saw through their plan: "So, they can't completely solve this problem right now, so they're planning to seal the rate at which their magic power is draining away, thus slowing down their death?"

“Yes, their own souls are too weak compared to that fragment of the Star God's soul, and they are in a state of balanced fusion. We can't make them devour that soul fragment, so we can only seal them to slow down the consumption.” Kazami Yuuka walked over.

"Yes, this one too." Jiang Jing nodded, without asking him to take a look or offer any help.

He had already foreseen some of the problems with the three golden fairies; issues involving the soul would be extremely troublesome even for him to resolve.

Since everyone was still unfamiliar with each other and the three girls weren't in a critical situation, the lazy Jiang Jing hadn't decided whether to take action. Now that the association had intervened, he was even less inclined to care.

Looking at the river view, Kazami Yuuka suddenly said, "Can we talk alone?"

"Let's talk alone? I have something to say." Looking at the green-haired beauty in front of him who exuded a natural aura, Jiang Jing wasn't surprised. After exchanging glances at each other in the coffee shop last time, he had a feeling that this woman wanted to see him.

Upon hearing this, Himejima Akeno, who was standing to the side, paused in her smiling eyes and perked up her ears.

Kazami Yuuka nodded: "Yes, there's something I'd like to talk to you about. It won't take up too much of your time."

Jiang Jing, who had nothing to do with him right now, nodded indifferently: "Okay."

Watching Jiang Jing and Kazami Yuuka walk towards the backyard, Himejima Akeno took a few steps, wanting to follow.

“Vice Minister Himejima, this room is so luxuriously decorated, much more comfortable than my temple.” Just then, Yuyuko Saigyouji floated over, looking curious and eager to take a look.

P.S.: Today is Monday, so this is the third update. I'm adding one more chapter to make up for the remaining twenty-one chapters.

.

By the way, in order to keep the monthly ticket ranking from dropping in the last two days of the month, I might open a bounty for two days. Get ready, everyone, and see if you can bombard me with bounties.

.

By then, I should have paid back most of what I owed, hehehe...

Chapter 128 Kazami Yuuka: I Want You (First Update)

"What? You want my essence?"

In the backyard, when Kazami Yuuka suddenly asked for Jiang Jing's essence, even Jiang Jing was a little stunned. When did women in this world become so casual?

Kazami Yuuka calmly looked at the river view: "I am a naturally born plant-attribute fairy, and I have been at a bottleneck for nearly a thousand years, unable to take that step."

"Finally, someone told me that if I could obtain the essence of life's creation and integrate it into my origin, I might be able to break the innate shackles that have bound me for thousands of years."

"You believed that so easily?"

Jiang Jing was speechless: "Also, just say 'source of power,' don't say 'essence,' it's easy for people to misunderstand, you know?"

Kazami Yuuka smiled slightly: "Of course I didn't believe her so easily, but when I got close to you that day, I sensed a pure light containing the breath of life from you, and I knew she was right."

"Don't worry, I won't let you give up your essence for nothing. I'm ready to make a deal with you." The green-haired beauty's calm gaze was full of sincerity.

Of course, Jiang Jing knew that Kazami Yuuka's so-called fair trade was based on his strong strength. Otherwise, faced with an opportunity that could help him break through, not to mention Kazami Yuuka, even he would have long since seized it by any means necessary.

Once you embark on the path to the extraordinary, you are bound to struggle—struggling against heaven and earth, against all living beings, and against yourself.

If you don't fight, one day you might find yourself vulnerable to being killed by someone stronger because of your lack of strength, or because of matters involving your friends or family.

Even in the terrifying world of cultivation that Jiang Jing descended upon, on the surface, countless immortals and gods were only focused on their cultivation, detached from the outside world and indifferent to worldly affairs.

But that was only because the resources were sufficient and there was no need to fight for them, and because there were no heaven-defying divine objects that could allow one to ascend to immortality in one step. Otherwise, with the cultivators' even more determined and persistent will, they would have fought until the heavens and earth collapsed long ago.

"A trade? What can you offer me in a trade?" Jiang Jing asked indifferently, considering it was just a bit of light power.

Kazami Yuuka frowned slightly: "I know that the power of origin is very precious to you Awakened Ones, and cannot be measured by money. Is there anything you want? I can give you anything I have."

"Uh... you haven't even figured out what to trade with me before bringing up this issue."

Jiang Jing was speechless at the sight of the green-haired beauty who, despite appearing calm and composed on the surface, was actually out of touch with social norms due to her long-term isolation from people.

Jiang Jing shook his head: "Let's leave this topic here for now, because I don't want anything. Come and trade with me again when you think of something that can move me."

After saying that, Jiang Jing walked past Kazami Yuuka into the house, leaving the green-haired woman in the backyard.

Although he could easily condense the power of light, Jiang Jing didn't have the habit of giving it away casually, and they weren't familiar with each other.

When Jiang Jing returned to the house, he saw that Chtholly and the other two were surrounded by a sealing array composed of runes. Reimu Hakurei, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, was flying in mid-air, holding a gohei, surrounded by a powerful spiritual aura.

Jiang Jing said to Himejima Akeno, who was standing to the side, "Akeno, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I haven't washed yesterday's clothes yet."

"what……?"

Himejima Akeno, Toujou Koneko, Saigyouji Yuyuko, and Kazami Yuuka, who just entered, all showed the same reaction, looking completely bewildered.

The latter two have no concept of washing clothes; their bodies are always kept clean. As for Himejima Akeno and Koneko, because they have their own familiars, they have never washed themselves.

So, watching Jiang Jing's retreating figure as he greeted them and headed towards the gate to go back and do laundry, the four of them were somewhat bewildered.

This is the 36th awakener of the human race. Just one month after awakening, he already possesses the combat power of a king-level being capable of suppressing ordinary gods and demons. He is hailed as a terrifying powerhouse with the potential to reach the highest level.

Jiang Jing returned to Sakura Dormitory at ten o'clock, but as soon as he entered, he heard a roaring sound coming from the direction of the bathroom, followed by Shiina Mashiro's exclamation.

"You? Are you playing with bubbles?" Jiang Jing looked at Shiina Mashiro lying on the floor, soaking wet and covered in bubbles, and asked curiously.

As he spoke, Jiang Jing squatted down and helped her up, then took a towel from the shelf next to him and wiped the foam off Shiina Mashiro's face and head.

"I'm doing laundry." Shiina Mashiro, sitting on the floor, looked intently at Jiang Jing.

"do the laundry?"

Looking at the washing machine submerged in foam, Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment: "How much laundry detergent did you pour in?"

Shiina Mashiro blinked: "I saw that there were oil stains on your pants, and they were too dirty. I was afraid that they wouldn't be clean, so I poured the whole bag of oil down there."

"One pack..."

Jiang Jing felt that if he were an ordinary person, he would have spat out a mouthful of blood by now. He rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I teach you before that you only need to pour a few spoonfuls? You even said you remembered it."

"And have you forgotten how that oil stain got there? It was from when you finished eating the grilled bone meat last night and wiped it on my pants."

"Really?" Shiina Mashiro blinked, feigning ignorance.

Looking at the girl who was sometimes really silly and sometimes pretending to be silly, Jiang Jing felt a fatherly weariness for no reason: "Alright, alright, I'll go find you some clothes. Go take a shower and change."

"Okay, Sorata." Shiina Mashiro stood up obediently and waited patiently in place.

However, when Jiang Jing went back and brought her a change of clothes, and asked her to take a shower in the bathroom next door, Shiina Mashiro didn't even close the door and started taking off her clothes inside.

"Don't you close the door when you shower? What if someone sees you?" Jiang Jing was speechless.

Having taken off her top and left only in her panties, Shiina Mashiro turned around, tilting her head and asking curiously, "There's only Sorata outside the door. Anyway, Sorata watches every day. Is there a problem?"

“…You make a good point.” Jiang Jing shook his head, speechless, closed the door for Shiina Mashiro, and then began cleaning the washing machine.

Despite the sound of the rain pouring down, Jiang Jing showed no signs of the arousal a man should have, because this young girl had absolutely no knowledge or understanding of that kind of thing.

By the time Jiang Jing finished her work and took the washed clothes to the second-floor balcony, it was already more than half an hour later.

Shiina Mashiro had two sets of clothes, a total of eleven pieces, which filled the small balcony space to the brim, making the river view below look like the accomplishment of a stay-at-home husband.

"Sorata, you really went back to do laundry?" In the courtyard across the street, Akeno Himejima, who had brought Yuuka Kazami and the others out, stared wide-eyed at Eijiro standing beneath a row of brightly colored underwear.

Similarly, the group that came out—Yuka Kazami, Reimu Hakurei, Yuyuko Hakurei, and even Akame—were all a little confused, wondering if something was wrong with this world, or if something was wrong with them.

However, Kodo, who came out later, was better off because she had seen her yesterday.

"Do you think I'm joking? I don't wash my own clothes, are you going to wash them for me?" Jiang Jing said irritably, standing under a pile of underwear.

“Okay, from now on, I’ll wash your clothes for you, Sorata.” Akeno Himejima’s eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

Jiang Jing waved his hand: "I don't have time to joke with you, I'm going downstairs to cook."
