Chapter 278: Oh No, the Whole World Knows I'm About to be Reborn
Chapter 278: Oh No, the Whole World Knows I'm About to be Reborn
Qi Yuan chuckled, "I don't even have a marriage certificate yet, let alone a Dao companion."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo Hua fell into deep thought, then revealed an admiring expression, "So, Daoist friend, you're... keeping it outside, high, very high!"
He immediately understood that the Daoist before him had not officially formed a Dao companion with anyone.
After about a dozen breaths, the Spirit Boat finally came to a stop.
Cultivators from the cabin, both men and women, emerged with varying expressions.
They all disembarked from the Spirit Boat.
Below, several rabbit carriages had also arrived to greet the cultivators from the boat.
"Farewell, Daoist friend," Qi Yuan said softly.
A smile appeared on Jiang Ruo Hua's face, "Don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet!"
"Okay," Qi Yuan casually agreed.
After all, when you're out and about, you set your own standards, and promises are made on a whim.
Only now did Jiang Ruo Hua focus his attention below, where he scanned the area and instantly spotted a charming, sunny girl in a yellow skirt.
His eyes flashed with relief, and he felt a sense of pride.
That little brat, she actually came to pick up her father? He decided that when he met his daughter, he wouldn't give her a pleasant look.
He stood in place with a hint of arrogance, waiting for his daughter to come and greet him.
Sure enough, his daughter's face lit up with joy as she rushed towards him.
His expression was serious, but inside, he was overjoyed.
"Senior Brother, you're finally back!"
However, Jiang Ruo Hua's face froze.
He saw his familiar daughter walking towards the Daoist friend he had conversed with earlier, casually linking arms with him as if they were close. In her eyes, there seemed to be only her Senior Brother.
A flame of anger spread through his chest.
He revealed an expression of disbelief.
His daughter hadn't come to greet him, and even from just a few meters away, she hadn't noticed him.
Most importantly, that little brat! Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood.
The Daoist he had met on the road was none other than his daughter's Senior Brother, Qi Yuan.
No wonder!
Jiang Ruo Hua understood and was furious!
Obedient and cute?
Considerate and gentle?
Is that how Jiang Ling Su is? And... Senior Sister with the big chest? Jiang Ruo Hua's eyes seemed ready to spew fire.
"Jiang Ling Su!"
He clenched his teeth and shouted. If his voice could kill, he probably would have torn Qi Yuan apart by now.
Especially on the flying boat, he had even taught Qi Yuan how to flirt with his daughter!
Hearing his voice, Jiang Ling Su's fair and jade-like face froze in a smile. She held Qi Yuan's arm, looking at Jiang Ruo Hua with wide eyes, "Father?"
"You still know I'm your father!" Jiang Ruo Hua glared at Jiang Ling Su and the arm around Qi Yuan, his eyes burning with anger.
Qi Yuan was also taken aback and blurted out, "This lewd cultivator... is your father?"
Jiang Ling Su was stunned.
Jiang Ruo Hua was stunned.
Then, they heard Qi Yuan say, "Just now on the road, this person taught me how to cook rice with Senior Sister with the big chest."
A blush crept up Jiang Ling Su's ear, and her eyes seemed to be smeared with rouge, making her look especially alluring.
"Nonsense!" Jiang Ruo Hua was enraged.
He hadn't expected the young Daoist to be his daughter's Senior Brother.
"Not only that, he also asked me how to marry several more wives," Qi Yuan said pitifully, looking at Jiang Ling Su, "Senior Sister, you're going to have a few more stepmothers!"
The anger on Jiang Ruo Hua's face completely vanished at this moment.
Jiang Ling Su also clenched her teeth, "I'm going to tell Mother about this!"
"No!" Jiang Ruo Hua was truly afraid.
Jiang Ling Su's mother was not arrogant or domineering at all; instead, she was gentle and charming.
But... she liked to cry.
If she found out about this, she would probably cry for ten years in front of him, and he couldn't bear it!
"This isn't over!" Jiang Ling Su, having grasped Jiang Ruo Hua's weakness, sighed in relief and stuck out her tongue.
Otherwise, encountering her father in this situation would have been quite embarrassing for her.
...
About half an hour passed.
Jiang Ruo Hua felt anxious and helpless.
He hadn't expected his meeting with his daughter to be like this.
He also hadn't anticipated that the random Daoist he met on the road would turn out to be his daughter's Senior Brother.
At this moment, Jiang Ruo Hua looked at Qi Yuan, his gaze filled with resentment.
After all, he had revealed his secrets to Qi Yuan, and his previous dignity was gone.
Especially the strategy of cooking rice with Senior Sister, which made him feel breathless now.
"Daoist friend, please don't take the matter of cooking rice to heart. I won't stand for it!"
Jiang Ling Su, hearing this, immediately spoke up, "Senior Brother, please!"
Qi Yuan smiled, "Daoist friend, there's no misunderstanding. My relationship with Senior Sister is pure and innocent."
The Divine Flower Society's forum is purely fictional, and I... don't have a senior sister.
As for the Sect Master's daughter, she's Kang Fulu's Dao Companion, and I have nothing to do with her."
It would have been better if Qi Yuan hadn't explained, but his explanation only led to more misunderstandings from Jiang Ruo Hua.
This guy... even likes married women!
If they were on a flying boat and didn't know Qi Yuan's identity, he might have said, "A fellow cultivator."
Now, he can only be described as despicable!
"Hmph, I believe you," Jiang Ruo Hua said with a cold smile.
Qi Yuan shrugged helplessly.
Seeing Qi Yuan's innocent expression, Jiang Ruo Hua seemed to see herself in him.
He suddenly remembered the time when he brought his junior sister to meet his father-in-law, only to be beaten up by the old man.
Looking at Qi Yuan, he couldn't help but say, "Hmph, aren't you the number one Divine Infant in the Great Shang Nation? I'll challenge you, the number one Divine Infant of the Great Shang Nation!"
This was less of a challenge and more of an opportunity to teach Qi Yuan a lesson.
After all, he had been beaten and drenched in the rain before, so naturally, he didn't want Qi Yuan to have an umbrella.
Moreover, he was a Divine Infant cultivator from the East Land, and although Qi Yuan wasn't an old man, he was still quite young. But being from the Great Shang Nation, his strength was undoubtedly far inferior to Qi Yuan's.
"I always respect the elderly and love the young, and I never bully old men," Qi Yuan refused firmly. Then, with an expectant look, he asked, "How about letting your junior sister fight in your place, old man?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo Hua felt like vomiting blood.
Qi Yuan's shamelessness far exceeded his own.
In the days that followed, another person appeared on Seven Color Peak, and Jiang Ruo Hua decided to stay on the peak.
Qi Yuan, as usual, was alone in his room, revising his techniques.
However, due to the matters involving the Divine Flower Society and the Origin Spirit Sharing Society, Qi Yuan's technique revisions were not going smoothly.
Occasionally, members of the Divine Void Society would visit Seven Color Peak.
Sometimes, the Purple Mansion from the Blood Cloak Alliance would also come.
On rare occasions, even the Dark Deity, who later pledged allegiance to the Origin Spirit Sharing Society, would visit Seven Color Peak to meet with Qi Yuan.
Especially after the divine techniques were made public, more and more people came to seek an audience with Qi Yuan.
At this moment, Qi Yuan sat in the cement house, his eyes filled with profound depth.
"With the techniques sent by the Divine Void Society, I now have six divine arts and over two thousand heavenly arts... As expected, Pinxxi has also achieved great success in the Canglan Realm."
Qi Yuan was also quite excited at this moment.
Compared to his previous life, where he sought to annihilate a clan to find his true love, his current situation was far superior.
Lying at home, a continuous stream of techniques kept arriving.
He could now truly be said to be compiling the techniques of the world.
He even had many secret manuals of mundane martial arts.
"These techniques will be enough for a long time."
Qi Yuan took a moment to introspect.
Then he turned his attention to the game jade slip, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"The game has finally finished loading."
"But... what does it mean if I die in the game?"
In the game, the Qi Yuan formed from the primordial seed inexplicably died.
This came as a surprise to Qi Yuan.
"If I enter the game now... what form will I take? A skeleton?"
Qi Yuan was curious.
He had already given instructions beforehand that he would be entering closed-door cultivation for a period.
The Divine Flower Society, the Origin Spirit Sharing Society, and even the Blood Cloak Alliance and other forces continued as they had in the past.
He also informed Jiang Ling Su about this matter.
"Enter the game!"
In the 169th chapter, a look at the flawless version!
...
Late at night, the moonlight shone through the gaps in the forest leaves, casting a pattern resembling a bird on the ground of the cemetery.
The mottled shadows fell on the tombstone ahead, making it look especially desolate and eerie.
The grass beside the stele was lush, and a dark beetle was munching on the grass stems. Suddenly, a centipede-like creature bit the beetle in one bite.
Crack!
Heavy footsteps approached, and the centipede-like creature was crushed underfoot.
"Quickly, surround Lost Path Mountain and prohibit anyone from entering!" a middle-aged man in a military cap commanded.
His face was chiseled like a knife, and his tall and sturdy build exuded immense power.
While his expression was resolute, there was also a hint of confusion about the future.
More and more soldiers appeared, numbering in the hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands.
Armored vehicles and various fighter jets also patrolled the skies.
For the first time, this desolate Lost Path Mountain was filled with so many people.
But these people weren't here for a memorial or to pay respects to the deceased.
From time to time, whispers could be heard among the soldiers.
"Is this all true?"
"Damn, this is too crazy!"
"Is God playing a joke on us?"
"The outside world is in complete chaos, like doomsday!"
"King Wang said that just now, no less than a hundred people tried to break through the checkpoint and were all killed!"
"Hmph, they must be the dogs of those capitalists!"
Li Shenkong's military boots crunched on the grass, making a rustling sound.
The soldiers' chatter reached his ears, and a complex and profound expression appeared in his eyes.
"A world reset?"
"Is the Creator playing a joke on us?"
"Are you kidding me, this is too..."
"If it's true..."
His mind raced with countless thoughts.
Just a day ago, above the Arching Star, all humans, whether asleep, at work, or covered in dust at construction sites, heard a cold and emotionless voice in their minds.
"The world will reset in 24 hours. An Zhentian, Axiucai, Qi Yuan, and Zheng Xi, a total of ninety-nine people, will return to ten years ago with their memories intact."
Indeed, this voice resonated in everyone's minds.
Even the deaf would have heard this information.
Chaos ensued at the Arching Star.
After all, this news was utterly shocking.
The world was about to reset.
Some individuals would be reborn with their memories, returning to a decade ago.
This news caused a massive upheaval in the nations of the Arching Star.
Some people dismissed it as a joke, not taking it seriously.
Others went into a frenzy, as the world was about to reset... If so, wouldn't they be free to do whatever they once dared not?
Order collapsed instantly.
Murder, rape, zero-cost purchases, vandalism, and arson filled the once-civilized society.
Meanwhile, the nine individuals about to be reborn were completely controlled by the official powers of their respective nations.
In the Qin Yuan Kingdom, there were thirty-five such individuals.
Among them was one from the Lost Path Mountain.
These thirty-five individuals were like fat pigs, divided among the major families of the Seven Martial Stars.
After all, if they could control those reborn with memories, what a tremendous opportunity it would be! Perhaps the Qin Yuan Kingdom would undergo a significant change, and the Arching Star would become different from its past.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the voice they heard was a hoax.
The world wouldn't reset, and no one would return to ten years ago with their memories.
Nevertheless, Li Shenkong still received orders from above to seal off the Lost Path Mountain.
According to their investigation, there was an individual within the mountain who was a reincarnator.
However, this reincarnator was special.
"Reporting, sir. The Gongyi family has arrived."
A voice echoed.
Li Shenkong's expression immediately turned solemn.
The Qin Yuan Kingdom was jointly ruled by the royal family and the Seven Martial Stars.
There were twenty-one powerful families among the Seven Martial Stars.
These twenty-one families held the true power in the Qin Yuan Kingdom.
Although the Gongyi family had declined and their position among the Seven Martial Stars was no longer secure, they were still one of the Seven Martial Stars.
At the temporary airport, five planes landed.
A group of twenty people hurried over, their faces filled with anxiety.
Li Shenkong quickly went to greet them: "Old Cai!"
Gongyi Cai glanced at Li Shenkong and nodded, his face showing deep fatigue: "What's the situation?"
"We've located the grave, but it hasn't been excavated yet," Li Shenkong replied honestly.
The men and women behind Gongyi Cai heard Li Shenkong's voice, their eyes filled with anger.
After all, if what they heard was true, then making a deal with the reincarnator, reaching an agreement, would be a significant advantage for their family.
But the reincarnator they were assigned was a dead person!
How could they proceed?
Everyone's faces fell.
Fortunately, the Gongyi family still held some influence, and besides this dead person, there was another reincarnator. The Gongyi family could share this person with the other families.
Therefore, the group that arrived at the Lost Path Mountain was just a part of the Gongyi family, the less favored part.
"Let's go, take me to see!" Gongyi Cai said in a deep voice.
Regardless, they needed to see the reincarnator's remains first.
They had to fulfill the family's instructions.
Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, they should at least place the agreement in the grave.
What if the person in the grave was a reincarnator and had the agreement with them? Although the chances of that were zero.
Soon, the twenty people arrived at a desolate grave with a tombstone.
The tombstone seemed to have been neglected for many years, overgrown with weeds.
Gongyi Cai glanced at it, took the flowers, and placed them in front of the grave.
The other Gongyi family members followed suit, offering flowers to the grave.
At this desolate grave, now adorned with many flowers, a person holding a stack of documents stepped forward: "Name: Qi Yuan, born... Nine years ago, died at the age of nineteen."
"Cause of death... Cerebral hemorrhage."
