Jiang Feng brought bun along as the two of them quickly walked out of the bamboo forest.
Jiang Feng turned off his livestream on the way.
Eliciting a chorus of wails from his online audience.
After passing through the bamboo forest, several gray brick houses vaguely appeared before Jiang Feng’s eyes.
That was Longmen Village!
Seeing Longmen Village right before his eyes, Jiang Feng suddenly felt a strong sense of homecoming.
It had been five years since he and his sister had been back here after his parents passed away.
If it hadn’t been for this opportunity to livestream, he might not have come back here for years.
“Let’s go, bun. We’re almost home.”
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and then strode towards Longmen Village.
Whimper whimper!
Bun trotted behind Jiang Feng on his little short legs, grinning widely.
Finally Jiang Feng couldn’t stand watching this anymore. He picked up bun and put him on his shoulder.
Whimper whimper!
Seeing the path ahead, bun grinned happily.
............
Soon Jiang Feng and bun arrived at the village entrance.
The entrance had now become the information hub for the whole village. Basically all the senior villagers with nothing to do would come here to chat.
When the seniors saw Jiang Feng suddenly appear, they were all surprised.
Because they hadn't seen Jiang Feng for years too.
And what was that thing on his shoulder?
A panda?
"Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle...I'm back!"
Jiang Feng said excitedly standing at the entrance.
"Oh isn't this second nephew, haven't been back for years!"
"I thought some guest was visiting. Turns out it's this rascal second nephew!"
"Second nephew, what are you carrying on your shoulder?"
..........
The seniors immediately gathered around Jiang Feng when they saw him, asking caringly.
Jiang Feng also greeted them with a smile.
These Longmen villagers were basically all relatives. Every family could trace their seniority.
So the neighborly relations were naturally very good.
"You little brat, what are you doing back! Didn't you say you won't be back until I die!"
Just then, a dark-skinned middle-aged man holding a cane walked out gloomily, looking at Jiang Feng dissatisfiedly.
Then he raised his cane and hit Jiang Feng's thigh.
Jiang Feng didn't dodge but looked at the other person with a grin.
This cane-holding man was none other than his uncle Jiang Aiguo.
After his parents passed away five years ago, Jiang Feng left Longmen Village against advice.
In fact he had no choice, because Jiang Feng knew if he didn't leave Longmen Village, he would have no chance to improve his life.
And this of course greatly angered his uncle Jiang Aiguo.
Although everyone in the village was very poor then.
But they were still Jiang's people, how could they let the brother and sister go hungry.
Unexpectedly Jiang Feng left quietly without a word.
This angered the Jiang seniors quite a bit.
So now that Jiang Feng was back, Jiang Aiguo still didn't give him a good face.
But he was extremely happy inside.
"Uncle, I was just young and impulsive back then."
Jiang Feng said embarrassingly looking at his uncle.
"You were just too stubborn and deserved a beating!"
Jiang Aiguo raised his cane wanting to hit Jiang Feng again.
Just then, the bun on Jiang Feng's shoulder became unhappy.
He stretched out his little paws towards Jiang Aiguo and whimpered dissatisfyingly, seeming angry.
Jiang Feng laughed and calmed the bun.
This little guy was not bad, even knowing to protect him.
"Humph, where did you get this panda from? Don't you know it's a nationally protected animal?"
Jiang Aiguo put down his cane and glanced at the bun.
As the village chief, he of course was educated and knew the preciousness of the giant panda.
He just didn't expect Jiang Feng to actually bring one back.
"Uncle, I picked him up on the way. This little guy took a liking to me."
Jiang Feng chuckled.
Jiang Aiguo glanced a few more times and kept silent.
"Alright old big, little Feng came back with difficulty, why be so harsh with him?"
"Little Feng have you eaten? Come to my home. I'll ask your Third Aunt cook for you."
Third Uncle said benevolently looking at Jiang Feng holding a cane.
Beside them Jiang Aiguo snorted and left.
"Go settle down. Come eat at my home tonight."
Jiang Aiguo's tone was unquestionable.
Third Uncle grinned toothlessly. "Old big is hard on the outside soft inside. Go settle down first little Feng, then go to your uncle's for dinner tonight."
Third Uncle patted Jiang Feng's shoulder.
Jiang Feng nodded heavily, knowing they cared about him.
After bidding the seniors, Jiang Feng brought bun towards his home.
Jiang Feng thought his house would be run-down after years of absence.
Unexpectedly other than some dust, the house remained intact.
His uncle's family must have come often to clean the yard.
"Sigh, I won't leave again after coming back this time."
Jiang Feng sat on the doorsill, stroked bun's little head and sighed.
At this time Jiang Feng also had a firm belief.
He would make Longmen Village prosperous again!
He believed with the system, this wish would definitely come true!
............
Just then, his phone rang interrupting his thoughts.
Seeing an unfamiliar number, Jiang Feng picked up.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang Feng from Hu Yu Livestream?" I'm with the Taibai Mountain Forestry Bureau."
Hearing the other's identity Jiang Feng laughed. He didn't expect the forestry bureau to contact so soon.
The bureau was in charge of managing all land animals in Hua Country.
Water animals were governed by the Fisheries Bureau.
"Yes I'm Jiang Feng."
"Mr. Jiang, I'm calling to inquire about the wild panda with you. Also, I heard you want to adopt this panda, right?"
The forestry staffer chattered a lot.
"Yes I do want to adopt the panda. I was going to contact you about it, didn't expect you to call me first."
Jiang Feng said with a laugh.
"Then you know the procedure to adopt wildlife right?"
The staffer asked.
"Yes I do. Just background checks."
Jiang Feng was confident he could pass.
"Alright, we'll do our investigation and notify you tomorrow. We'll also examine the panda. Please keep the panda properly."
The phone said.
"Ok sounds good."
Jiang Feng agreed readily then hung up.
He put away his phone and beckoned bun with his hand.
"Let's go bun, time to scrounge dinner!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
