"Absolutely no mistake, it's definitely a Human Immortal!"
Bai Fan declared firmly, "I've had close contact with them, and they're certainly not high-level cultivators hiding their true powers."
"Now that's strange!"
Zeng Rentu couldn't help but ponder, then asked, "Does she have any other trump cards, or perhaps some Immortal Artifacts?"
"Well, even if she had trump cards or Immortal Artifacts, she wouldn't tell me!" Bai Fan replied.
"Let me rephrase that - have you noticed anything on her that you hadn't seen before?" Zeng Rentu inquired.
This reminder made Bai Fan's eyes light up, and he said, "Yes!"
"What is it?"
Zeng Rentu asked eagerly.
"A collection of pots, bowls, ladles, and basins!" Bai Fan answered.
"?"
"??"
Zeng Rentu's face was full of question marks. "Pots, bowls, ladles, and basins?"
"Yes, Lord Governor, exactly those. Recently, I've seen Jiang Zhi wiping and examining them every day!" Bai Fan explained.
"Pots, bowls, ladles, and basins..."
Zeng Rentu muttered to himself.
He was completely baffled by this information.
"Did you sense anything unusual about these items - any auras or energy fluctuations?" Zeng Rentu speculated, "Could it be possible that these kitchen utensils are just a disguise for some kind of divine weapons?"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Bai Fan stated firmly, "Once when she took out these items to study them, I was standing right behind her, observing carefully. A bowl was just a bowl, and a basin was just a basin!"
"Are you certain?"
"Absolutely!"
Hearing this, Zeng Rentu showed signs of relief.
He had followed Jiang Zhi for many years, and even when she was imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, he had never underestimated her.
Especially when he learned of her return, he had been constantly wary of any trump cards she might have.
But now, looking at the situation...
He had worried for nothing.
How could someone just released from Dark Shadow Island possibly have any major trump cards?
Perhaps...
She was just blinded by hatred.
"In that case, let Jiang Zhi come at me!" Zeng Rentu sneered.
"My Lord was overthinking it. With the Lotus Lady and the Barren Continent Lord still in the Eternal Immortal Continent, how could Jiang Zhi possibly harm you?"
"Moreover, my Lord now possesses a mid-grade Immortal Artifact. Jiang Zhi can't even be mentioned in the same breath as you anymore," Bai Fan flattered.
These words...
Made Zeng Rentu lift his head slightly.
He was extremely pleased.
"Very good, you've done well this time. When you return, there will be a great reward waiting for you!"
Zeng Rentu praised.
"Yes, thank you, Lord Governor. I will continue to work hard, and if there's any news, I'll notify you immediately!"
...
Soon after.
Jiang Zhi and her group boarded a flying ship, setting off for the Eternal Immortal Continent.
While Jiang Zhi was busy with her personal matters, Gong Chen bid farewell to Yi Feng and left Dark Shadow Island on his own.
He then rushed towards Xi Ning Continent, one of the Middle Three Continents.
Before being imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, he had been an elder in a sect there.
"I'm finally back!"
Gong Chen looked up at the mountain gate before him, filled with emotion.
He had never imagined...
That he would one day return to this place.
He entered the sect quietly without drawing attention and made his way inside.
In a side hall.
Noisy voices could be heard.
"You unfilial son!"
"Don't you have any self-awareness about what you're capable of?"
"You made a one-year promise? What nonsense!"
A middle-aged man was berating a young man with an angry face.
"Father, that woman came to break off the engagement herself. How could I endure such humiliation?" the young man shouted indignantly.
"And what can you do even if you can't endure it?" the man roared in anger. "How will you defeat her in a year?"
"When the time comes, won't it be even more embarrassing to be defeated by her in front of everyone before the engagement is broken?"
Hearing this...
The young man's eyes turned bloodshot, and he clenched his fists tightly, punching the wall repeatedly to vent his frustration.
Seeing this...
The man felt somewhat heartbroken and hurried to console the young man.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for not being able to help with your cultivation problems, which led to this..." the man sighed, suddenly appearing several years older.
"Father, I'm the useless one!"
The young man gritted his teeth in self-reproach.
"Heh, what's all this noise about? Making such a fuss!"
Just then, an abrupt voice came from outside the door.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
