Chapter 706

Only Kiana's gaze towards Mei was still somewhat aggrieved.

Mei knew clearly why Kiana was aggrieved; in the future shown by Himeko, she had beaten Kiana up severely.

Now, Mei also felt somewhat guilty and didn't dare to look Kiana in the eye.

If not for this matter with Himeko, and if things had developed according to that future, she really might have had to beat Kiana.

After Theresa settled Otto and the others, she hurried over here, ignored the strange atmosphere in the place, and asked in confusion:

............. 0

"Where is Himeko?"

"Teacher Himeko went to take a bath."

Bronya replied softly.

"Take a bath? Cultivators are pure inside and out, untainted and dust-free; do they still need to take baths?"

Theresa asked in surprise.

"Don't really treat cultivators as non-humans!"

A slightly helpless voice sounded, and Himeko came down from upstairs leisurely.

"The lifespan of a cultivator is almost infinite. I can live for tens of thousands of years now, let alone in the future."

"Although it is true that cultivators don't need sleep, don't need food, and don't need to take baths."

"But not everyone is like the Sect Leader, who, besides becoming an immortal, has no desires and goes into seclusion to practice whenever they have time."

"I have only been practicing for a short time after all. To maintain myself throughout a long life, the best way is to maintain a trace of humanity."

"This is what the long-lived ones like Senior Zhongli told me."

Himeko sat down on the sofa, casually summoned a bottle of Coke, took a sip, and looked completely refreshed.

Shushan is good in every way, but cultivators there don't value enjoyment. Her cave dwelling basically has nothing.

Himeko, who had become accustomed to modern life, would find it difficult to improve in the short term.

"Hehe…"

Kiana clung to Himeko's side, hugged her tightly, and teased slightly:

"So, Himeko, do you mean that your Shushan Sect Leader is a truly high-and-mighty existence who looks down on all living beings like an immortal god, without any human nature?"

Himeko rolled her eyes at Kiana in annoyance.

"You have no respect! Can such things be said casually?"

"If the Law Enforcement Hall hears this, they will definitely lock you in the Demon-Locking Tower for thousands of years!"

441. Demon cultivators, ghost cultivators? Your Shushan really has a rich variety of species

"Thousands of years or whatever, that's too far away! I might not even live that long."

"Besides, isn't there you, Himeko? I believe you will protect me."

Kiana still muttered heartlessly. Seeing that she still didn't take it seriously, Himeko couldn't help but say seriously:

"Don't think I'm joking, Kiana! In Shushan, disrespecting teachers is the most serious of the Shushan commandments."

"Lightly, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be suppressed for a thousand years; heavily, you will be hunted to the ends of the earth until you die."

"Shushan is a cultivation sect after all, and there are many rules. Also, don't think that just because Shushan is a righteous sect, it has no means of torturing people."

"There are several demon cultivators among my fellow disciples, and their means of manipulating souls are first-class. Physical death is the most insignificant thing."

"If they take action, death is a luxury. Lightly, they will refine you into a ghost general to fight for them eternally; heavily, they will put you into a soul lamp to be burned by karmic fire forever."

"Using soul-damaging curses to torture, dying and being reborn."

"A Senior Sister of mine named Lisa masters the art of burning souls with karmic fire. Not only can she devour and refine souls, but she can also use karmic fire to control souls to suffer endless torture without dying."

"You can't even imagine the means of a cultivator, so don't say such things randomly in the future."

"Throughout Shushan, discussing the Sect Leader recklessly is a serious crime."

"Although I am a core disciple of Dragon Head Peak, above me, there are Shushan Inner Sect Protectors, Elders of various peaks, Peak Masters of various peaks, the Sect Leader's personal disciples, and so on."

"Core disciples don't have much power."

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately shrank her neck and hugged Himeko tightly in fear.

"I was wrong, Himeko… That Shushan Sect Leader won't hear what I just said, right?"

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Himeko smiled.

"The Sect Leader has indeed reached the realm in the Tree and Sea universe where whatever is thought of will be sensed, but generally speaking, the Sect Leader won't listen."

"Countless people in Teyvat pray to the Sect Leader every day. If the Sect Leader really listened to them one by one, would there still be time to practice?"

"The Sect Leader is a peerless genius dedicated to cultivation. Besides cultivation, it's about strengthening Shushan. Strictly speaking, the Sect Leader really doesn't have many worldly desires."

"At the Sect Leader's level, the only remaining desire is to become stronger."

As for the matter of Ganyu and Yae Miko…

She didn't dare to say it.

"Himeko, isn't your Shushan the leader of the righteous path? Why are there demon cultivators?"

Theresa looked at Himeko worriedly, and the latter waved her hand.

"Although most demon cultivators are insane and their techniques are extremely vicious, there are exceptions, but such exceptions are few."

"Alright, let's stop talking about these topics."

Himeko stretched and leaned comfortably on the sofa.

"Long-lost modern life, it's really comfortable. Shushan is good in every way, but it's very boring."

"Fellow disciples mostly like to go into seclusion to practice, or they ponder state affairs."

"People on the mysterious side are indeed more able to endure loneliness than people on the technological side like me."

"Speaking of which, when I go back this time, I have to bring more furniture. There isn't even a bed in my cave dwelling."

Mei was somewhat surprised and looked at Himeko with heartache.

"Not even a bed? Then how do you rest, Teacher Himeko!"

"Meditation, of course."

Himeko shrugged.

"A cultivator's sleep basically means setting up a spiritual gathering array and meditating within the array."

"Of course, there are also many cultivators who, like the Sect Leader, never rest. Every day, besides cultivation, there is nothing else to do."

"Going into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years is also a normal thing."

After saying that, Himeko looked at Kiana and said with a smile:

"Alright, now that there are no outsiders, I'll tell you something deeper."

"Before that… let's bring out Fu Hua's soul first."

Mentioning Fu Hua, Kiana suddenly realized and said anxiously:

"Himeko! Class Monitor used something called a feather to help me control the power of the Herrscher of the Void before, and now there's been no movement. What should I do?"

"Don't worry, it's just that her soul power was depleted too much, and she's fallen asleep. I'll bring her out first, and then we'll talk after returning to Shushan. It'll be fine to help her recreate a body then."

As she spoke, Himeko took out a dim oil lamp.

She gently waved it in front of Kiana, and a feather was sucked into it.

Gentle soul power began to nourish Fu Hua's soul.

However, having depleted too much, she still didn't show any signs of waking up.

"Teacher Himeko, is the Class Monitor okay?"

Bronya looked at Himeko worriedly, and the latter shook her head.

"It's just soul power depletion. It doesn't hurt the foundation. It's fine. Just go back and ask Senior Sister Hu Tao for some soul power to nourish her."

Seeing everyone somewhat stunned, Himeko said helplessly:

"I can't help it either. I haven't been cultivating for long, and I don't know any techniques involving souls at all. At most, I know some techniques that can tear souls apart."

"Senior Sister Hu Tao is a professional ghost cultivator. She can even raise a ghost general at the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit. Healing Fu Hua is a piece of cake."

Kiana's head went blank, and she looked at Himeko with some fear.

"Ghost… ghost cultivator! There really are ghosts! She won't treat the Class Monitor as a ghost general to be driven, right?"

Himeko laughed:

"You're overthinking it. On the trip to the Dragon Palace, Senior Sister Hu Tao made a fortune. Not only did she get a ghost general at the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, but there are also many ghosts of other realms."

"In her Ten Thousand Ghost Banner, there might be hundreds of thousands of evil souls hidden. Now, she has no energy to continue collecting souls, and besides, Fu Hua's soul doesn't meet Senior Sister Hu Tao's requirements for collection…"
