Fang Zhiyi made no attempt to hide his actions from his daughter while pushing these matters forward. Fang Yu watched her father's maneuvers with some shock; she had never realized her dad was such a schemer! Observing Fang Zhiyi's ruthless methods, Fang Yu became thoughtful.
Little Hei expressed some concern, "Aren't you corrupting the child?"
Fang Zhiyi didn't even look up, "Better that than dying from stupidity, right?"
Li Chengfeng was having a very hard time. Hiding out everywhere, he could say the entire underworld was his enemy. Living like a rat scurrying across the street had begun to twist his mind, and memories from his past life kept flooding back, tearing him apart even more.
He had already spent two days under a bridge, his clothes dirty and torn, giving off a sour stench. A light rain fell outside the bridge, and he tightened the tattered coat he'd scavenged around himself, his stomach growling with hunger.
Yet, even in such wretched circumstances, the same thought kept circling in his mind: "Find Fang Yu! As long as I find Fang Yu, she'll definitely feel sorry for me, give me money, find me a place to stay, and might even obey my every word like she used to!"
He'd lost count of how many times he'd secretly slipped near the restaurant where Fang Yu used to work. Each time, he'd crouch behind a trash can at the street corner, his eyes fixed intently on the restaurant entrance. But from sunrise to sunset, he never saw that familiar figure.
"Did she change jobs? Or is she hiding from me?" Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth, feeling both angry and anxious. In his mind, Fang Yu was supposed to be that love-starved, weak girl who would throw herself at him if he gave her the slightest bit of sweetness. How dare she hide from him?
One noon, he was so hungry he couldn't hold on any longer. His vision went dark, and he collapsed on the roadside. In his dazed state, a clear voice sounded by his ear, "Are you okay?"
Li Chengfeng's eyes snapped open. His blurred vision gradually cleared, revealing a girl in a clean white dress, her hair neatly combed, a trace of concern on her face. It was Fang Yu, the one he'd been searching for so long!
"Xiao Yu! It's me!" Li Chengfeng exclaimed excitedly, sitting up abruptly. Ignoring the dust on his body, he reached out to grab Fang Yu's arm. "It's Ah Feng! Don't you recognize me anymore?"
Fang Yu took a big step back in fright, frowning as she looked him over. "You're... that guy with the dyed hair? How did you end up like this?" She remembered this person, always loitering near the restaurant before, trying to talk to her—the "hoodlum" her dad had specifically warned her to stay away from.
Seeing she recognized him, Li Chengfeng grew even more excited. Rubbing his hands together, he put on a deeply affectionate act. "Xiao Yu, I've suffered so much looking for you! I've gone through a lot of hardship these days, just to see you. Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat!" As he spoke, he tried to step forward to hug Fang Yu, completely oblivious to the grime under his fingernails and the stench from his body that was practically wafting towards her.
Fang Yu wrinkled her nose in disgust, thinking to herself, "Buddy, you're about to faint from hunger yourself, and you want to take me to eat? Don't tell me you want me to treat you?" She took another two steps back, increasing the distance. "No need, I'm not hungry."
The smile on Li Chengfeng's face stiffened for a moment before he immediately switched to a "protector" pose, thumping his chest. "Xiao Yu, is someone bullying you? Tell your big brother, I'll settle it for you! No matter who it is, I can make them regret it!"
Fang Yu fully understood now—this guy wasn't just a hoodlum, he was a delusional lunatic! Her dad was right; she needed to stay away from people like this. She turned to leave, but Li Chengfeng wasn't about to let her go. He grabbed Fang Yu's wrist urgently, "Xiao Yu, don't go! My feelings for you are real! I can give you a home!"
"Let go! Help! Pervert!" Fang Yu suddenly raised her voice. The sharp cry for help immediately attracted the attention of passersby. Li Chengfeng was stunned, and before he could react, he felt an intense pain in his lower body. Fang Yu had delivered a swift and precise kick right to his vulnerable spot!
"Argh!" Li Chengfeng let out a howl of pain, clutching himself as he fell to his knees, his face turning beet red, sweat instantly soaking through his back. He looked up, glaring viciously at Fang Yu, muttering, "You... how dare you... I'm your Ah Feng..."
Fang Yu brushed off her hands, giving him a cold glance. "Who knows a lunatic like you!" With that, she turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation.
Bystanders gathered around, pointing and commenting on Li Chengfeng.
"Got what he deserved for harassing someone, huh? Serves him right!"
"Just look at him, he doesn't seem like a good person!"
Li Chengfeng, humiliated and in pain, wished he could crawl into a hole, only able to curl up on the ground.
Even so, Li Chengfeng still didn't give up. Fang Zhiyi himself was quite puzzled. Logically, after being reborn, there were plenty of things one could do. Had this kid gotten addicted to being a freeloader?
He had dozens of ways to make Li Chengfeng disappear, like having those two bikers from last time who handled things just finish him off. But out of consideration for the "Heaven's Will," he could only hold back.
That lightning bolt from the previous world was too terrifying.
Li Chengfeng managed to scrape together some money. He cleaned himself up, planning to manipulate this Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu avoided him every time she saw him. She was already on guard against Li Chengfeng; this guy definitely had something wrong with his head, and she had to listen to her dad.
Li Chengfeng also hadn't anticipated that this time, Fang Yu wasn't lacking love. Fang Zhiyi had worked hard to make up for the paternal love she'd missed over the years and had instilled in her plenty of genuine independent thinking.
Most crucially, Fang Zhiyi focused on both companionship and education with Fang Yu, and he hadn't shortchanged her materially either. This led to Fang Yu finding it downright unlucky just seeing that guy with the dyed hair holding a bunch of nearly wilted flowers.
Her attitude infuriated Li Chengfeng. He couldn't understand why the girl who used to be so easily won over had suddenly started looking down on him.
After a period of observation, Li Chengfeng suddenly realized there was another reincarnator.
He quickly set his sights on Fang Zhiyi. The person who could change Fang Yu so drastically must be him! That man who used to neglect his daughter was now accompanying Fang Yu every day, buying her new clothes, taking her to school—he must be pulling the strings behind the scenes!
That afternoon, inside a restaurant.
Looking at Li Chengfeng sitting across from him, putting on the airs of a domineering CEO, Fang Zhiyi's eyes were full of mockery.
"Fang, you've been reborn too, haven't you?" Li Chengfeng got straight to the point.
Fang Zhiyi merely chuckled.
"Let me tell you, no matter how you try to stop it, Xiao Yu and I share true love!" Li Chengfeng declared stubbornly, though his eyes involuntarily flickered towards the branded watch on Fang Zhiyi's wrist. Fang Zhiyi had just bought it, and it looked very expensive. Li Chengfeng's mind immediately started calculating—if he could "cooperate" with Fang Zhiyi, get him to give him some money, he could establish himself first.
He cleared his throat, putting on a show of sincerity. "I know about many money-making opportunities in the future. For example, the stock market will rise next month, and the land in the west of the city will appreciate... If we join forces, we're sure to make a fortune, and Xiao Yu can live an even better life too!"
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.
