[Side quest issued, do you want to accept it?]
The System reminded Jiang Feng again.
Jiang Feng felt puzzled after hearing it.
He hadn't completed the 30-day quest in Longmen Village yet, and now another side quest popped up.
"Accept."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng accepted the side quest.
[Quest issued: Please go deep into Mount Taibai and check in for seven days, and find the legendary creature.]
[Quest reward unknown.]
After Jiang Feng accepted the quest, the System sent over the quest requirements.
Jiang Feng felt utterly perplexed upon hearing them.
The System actually wanted him to go deep into Mount Taibai and check in for a week, and also find some legendary creature.
Isn't this just messing with him?
"System, can I not do this quest?"
[Quest has been accepted.]
The System mercilessly stated, leaving Jiang Feng frustrated.
"Then can you at least reveal some information to me?"
Since he had already accepted the quest, Jiang Feng could only prepare in advance.
[Okay.]
"Then I want to ask what this legendary creature you mentioned is? A dragon? A phoenix?"
Jiang Feng curiously asked.
The quest content specifically mentioned a legendary creature, so it seemed to be a big deal.
It couldn't be those mythical animals from legends and myths, could it?
[A tiger.]
"Huh? A tiger?"
Jiang Feng was stunned upon hearing the System's answer.
As far as he knew, there used to be tigers in Mount Taibai as well.
And they were the unique Qinling tigers.
But in recent decades, the tigers in the mountain had become extinct and never appeared again.
"Do you want me to find a Qinling tiger? Or a South China tiger?"
Jiang Feng asked again, since these two tiger species had already gone extinct.
They could barely be considered legendary creatures.
[Neither, it's a kind of tiger that's different from others. Good luck, young man!]
After saying that, the System fell silent in Jiang Feng's mind and didn't speak again.
After hearing this, Jiang Feng's mind was buzzing.
A tiger that's different from others?
Aside from their subspecies, tigers seemed to be pretty much the same in all other aspects.
However, it seemed there were special ones...
Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"System, are you asking me to find a white tiger?"
Jiang Feng excitedly said, but the System didn't respond to him.
If it was about being different from others, a white tiger should definitely qualify.
However, he hadn't heard of any native white tigers in China.
The most well-known white tigers were Bengal tigers.
But... this...
It could hardly be considered a legendary creature, right?
After all, they had already appeared in the public eye.
[Please proceed to the deep mountain and check in as soon as possible!]
The System suddenly spoke up and reminded him.
Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that this quest from the System had left him utterly confused.
Until now, he only knew that the System wanted him to find a tiger, but didn't tell him what kind of tiger.
If he encountered any danger, that would be a huge problem.
"Forget it, no point overthinking it. I should just prepare."
Since he had already accepted the quest, Jiang Feng had nothing else to say.
He planned to prepare tomorrow and go to town to buy some supplies, since he would be in the mountain for a week.
He definitely needed to prepare enough food and other necessities.
"Let's go, bun and Yuan Xiao, we're going to mooch some food."
Jiang Feng called out to bun and Yuan Xiao in the room.
Hearing his voice, the two little pets immediately waddled over with their short legs.
Woo woo woo!
Woo!
The two little ones clung to Jiang Feng's legs on both sides, looking up at him with bright, shiny eyes.
Jiang Feng smiled and bent down to pick them both up.
"Oh my, you two need to lose some weight. You're getting so fat."
Jiang Feng weighed bun and Yuan Xiao in his arms.
These two little fellows might be small now, but they were growing at an astonishing rate.
In the near future, they would definitely change a lot.
"Let's go mooch some food!"
Jiang Feng carried the two little ones, closed the door, and headed towards his uncle Jiang Aiguo's house.
He would go into the mountain the day after tomorrow, so he should let his uncle know in advance to avoid worrying him.
...
Jiang Aiguo's home wasn't far from Jiang Feng's, and Jiang Feng arrived at the door after walking for a bit.
"Auntie, I'm here to mooch some food."
Jiang Feng carried the two little ones and directly pushed the door open.
He saw his uncle seemed to be weaving a bamboo basket.
Jiang Feng was amused, not expecting his uncle to have this skill.
"What are you here for? Have the people from the Forestry Bureau left?"
Jiang Aiguo said without lifting his head.
"They've left. I came to tell you something."
Jiang Feng put bun and Yuan Xiao down on the ground.
After landing, bun wooed and naturally trotted towards the kitchen.
Yuan Xiao glanced at Jiang Feng, and seeing that he wasn't paying attention, also wobbled towards the kitchen.
Soon after, Jiang Feng's aunt exclaimed in surprise from the kitchen.
These two little fellows were incredibly popular wherever they went.
Jiang Aiguo then asked, "What is it?"
"I want to go into the mountain for a couple of days."
Jiang Feng glanced towards the kitchen and turned his head to speak.
"What? You want to go into the mountain? What for?"
Jiang Aiguo put down the bamboo strips in his hand and looked up at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng scratched his head and shamelessly said, "I haven't been to the mountain for years, so I just want to go play for a bit."
He didn't dare tell his uncle that he was going to find a tiger.
Otherwise, his uncle would beat him up and break his legs tonight!
"It's dangerous in the mountain now. What's there to play? I really don't understand you young people. You decide for yourself."
Jiang Aiguo muttered a sentence, lowered his head, and picked up the bamboo strips to continue weaving the basket.
Jiang Aiguo then chuckled, but what he said next left Jiang Feng stunned.
"The village chief position is about to be vacated, and the town asked me to find a successor. I submitted your name."
Jiang Aiguo said while weaving the bamboo basket with his head down.
"What?"
Jiang Feng was taken aback upon hearing this. The village chief position was about to be vacated? And his uncle had submitted his name?
"What 'what'? You're the only young person in our village. What could I do?"
Jiang Aiguo looked up and glared at Jiang Feng.
Their Longmen Village was too remote, and no one other than the villagers was willing to come and be the village chief.
So Jiang Aiguo directly submitted Jiang Feng's name.
As for whether Jiang Feng could become the village chief or not, that was for the town to consider.
At least Jiang Aiguo had submitted the name list, and the rest was up to them.
"Uncle, this isn't quite right, people might say we're abusing our power..."
Jiang Feng said awkwardly.
"Let anyone who says that come and be our village chief!"
Jiang Aiguo glared fiercely and said domineeringly.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but admire his uncle.
"But Uncle, I'm really curious, who is our village chief?"
Jiang Feng asked.
Without lifting his head, Jiang Aiguo said, "It's me!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
