Dark Shadow Island.
Around this small courtyard, many people were bustling about.
Some were watering flowers, others hoeing the ground, all busy and content. Hope for the future sparkled in everyone's eyes.
Jiang Zhi, responsible for watering the flowers, wiped the fragrant sweat from her brow and stood up, gazing at the distant Black Sea.
The time spent here had not only dissipated the violent power within her, but also allowed her to breakthrough from the Reincarnation Immortal Realm to the True Essence Immortal Realm.
For some reason, an image floated into her mind.
It was of the young Human Immortal she had encountered when she first arrived here.
Although she had always scoffed at and even found ridiculous what that young man had said back then, she had to admit that he had actually caused a great impact on her inner self, influencing her imperceptibly.
Because when she had once wanted to give up, it was his optimistic attitude that had strengthened her resolve to live on.
If she hadn't persevered then, she would never have met Gong Chen, let alone have the opportunity to come here and receive such tremendous good fortune.
"What a pity that you died so early. If you could have come here too, you might have fulfilled your wish and been able to leave before long, as you had hoped."
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but sigh deeply.
But she also knew in her heart that this was just a vain hope.
Even if this Human Immortal hadn't died, he probably wouldn't have qualified to come here.
After all, the minimum requirement to come here was the Reincarnation Immortal Realm.
Just then, a commotion arose from inside the martial arts hall, and everyone was seen hurriedly rushing inside with excited expressions.
"What's happening?" Jiang Zhi quickly asked.
"The master has returned with Gong Chen. Hurry, let's go pay our respects to the master!" an old man shouted excitedly to Jiang Zhi while jumping up and down on the spot.
"That person has returned?" Jiang Zhi's body trembled, her heart filled with surprise.
She had long admired this person's strength and grand gestures.
But in all her time here, she had never seen this person, so she had been constantly thinking about their return.
And today.
That person had finally come back?
Thinking of this, she quickly put down the watering can and asked the old man, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when meeting the master?"
She asked nervously.
While adjusting her clothes to ensure she looked her best when meeting that person.
"Don't worry, you don't need to be so nervous. The master is very easygoing," the old man smiled. "Come on in quickly, let's go pay our respects to the master together."
After speaking, the old man lowered his head and walked towards the martial arts hall.
Although she had heard the master was easygoing, Jiang Zhi was still very nervous.
She didn't dare to be careless and quickly followed behind everyone else, head lowered, walking towards the martial arts hall.
Of course, she was more excited than anything else.
Before they knew it, everyone had arrived inside the martial arts hall.
"Greetings to the master."
The crowd's voices rang out in unison.
Jiang Zhi also called out along with the others, bowing.
Even though this person was right before her eyes, she didn't dare raise her head to look, fearing she might displease them.
But she couldn't help being curious in her heart.
What did the master look like?
White-haired and elderly?
With the air of an immortal?
It should be like that, right?
Otherwise, how could they be worthy of the title 'master'?
Just as she was thinking this, a lazy voice came from the seat of honor. It was Yi Feng, who had just returned after spending some time eating and drinking heartily outside with Gong Chen.
"Everyone, no need to stand on ceremony. Please be at ease!"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhi was startled upon hearing this.
It wasn't an old person's voice?
But a young person's voice?
Could the master be a young person?
And moreover.
Why did this voice sound so familiar?
When everyone relaxed after paying their respects and raised their heads, she finally dared to look up at that person.
He was lazily lounging in a reclining chair, fanning his belly with a palm-leaf fan.
Dressed in white robes.
Immaculate.
He didn't exude an overwhelming aura, but rather gave off a very approachable feeling.
Scholarly, otherworldly.
This was the best way to describe him.
"The master really is a young man."
Jiang Zhi's gaze moved upwards, silently amazed.
She had countless guesses about this person's appearance in her mind.
But the reality exceeded all her expectations.
However.
Even though it exceeded all her expectations, now that she saw him, she felt that the master should be exactly like this.
No appearance could be more fitting than the feeling before her eyes.
What exactly.
Did he look like?
She bit her red lips, finally looking at his face.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
