Several days later.
Xu Fan grinned as he looked at the somewhat rundown mountain village before him.
“Finally made it to Holy Soul Village.
I’m exhausted.”
The Heaven Dou Empire hadn’t built proper roads, making travel incredibly difficult.
“Young man, what brings you to our Holy Soul Village?” An elderly man with a stooped back slowly walked over.
“May I ask who you are, sir?”
“I’m the village chief of Holy Soul Village.
Just call me Old Jack.”
Xu Fan’s eyes lit up.
This was the legendary village chief of Holy Soul Village.
“Hello, Grandpa Jack.
I’m a Spirit Master passing through, and I have something I’d like to ask.”
“A Spirit Master?” Old Jack immediately became much more respectful.
“There’s no need for that.
Grandpa Jack, I wanted to ask—are there any waterfalls near Holy Soul Village?” Xu Fan asked.
“A waterfall?” Old Jack thought for a moment, then his eyes brightened.
“There is one.
It’s in that direction, about ten kilometers from the village.
But it’s a small one, and not many people go there.”
Xu Fan was overjoyed.
He had really struck gold.
“Thank you, Grandpa Jack.”
“Mm.”
Xu Fan immediately headed in the direction Old Jack had pointed out.
As he walked, Xu Fan began fabricating his second story.
Over the past week, Xu Fan had already figured out what he wanted, but he wasn’t sure whether he would be able to obtain it.
No matter how you looked at it, the System’s rewards were always generous.
[Phew… We’ve finally arrived at Holy Soul Village.
We’ll soon find Ah Yin and her hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.
This spirit bone was left behind by Ah Yin for her child.
Although I feel a bit embarrassed, I have no choice but to take it so I can deal with Tang San more easily in the future.]
[As for Tang San, it seems I’ll still need to talk things through with Ah Yin later.]
The moment Xu Fan began writing this fabricated account—
Ning Rongrong: “My god, it finally appeared again.
If the notebook were gone, I would’ve thought I’d imagined everything.”
Many people shared Ning Rongrong’s thoughts.
After all, listening to a reborn person talk about the future was an unimaginable opportunity.
Maybe it could even help them find their own path.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists.
“He’s going to get it so soon… a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.
A newly awakened Spirit Master obtaining something like that—what an absurd opportunity.”
Ah Yin swayed weakly inside the cave.
She was now filled with despair.
Although she hadn’t collapsed like Tang Yuehua, her trust in Tang Hao had been greatly shaken.
“Come find me…?” Ah Yin wanted to refuse, but she knew she had no power to do so.
Though she was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, her current strength wasn’t even enough to contend with a newly awakened Spirit Master.
[I never imagined that the first woman I would meet in this life would be Ah Yin.
In my previous life, I met her during my battle with Tang Hao.]
At the time, I had severely injured Tang San and was about to kill him when Tang Hao suddenly appeared and used Ring Explosion to rescue him.
Ah Yin was thrown from Tang Hao’s side, and I caught her.
[At that moment, I already knew Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor.
I was curious why she had brought the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with her when she sacrificed herself.
That place is a treasure land, capable of nurturing spiritual plants.
Spirit medicines there grow at ten times the normal rate—extremely effective for plant-type Spirit Beasts.]
Although Ah Yin was Tang San’s mother and Tang Hao’s wife, I had no ill intentions toward her.
After all, she had never harmed me.
[Later, as I accompanied her while she recovered from her injuries, feelings gradually developed between us.
It was a classic case of emotions growing over time.
However, Ah Yin still had feelings for Tang Hao and Tang San, so I never forced anything.]
Later, I helped Ah Yin see through Tang Hao’s true nature, and only then did she leave him.
What surprised me was that after rebirth, even Ah Yin’s physical body was reborn—she became a virgin once again.
“Little sister, little sister, see how feelings can grow over time?” Shui Yue’er said with a smile.
Tianshui Academy was composed entirely of women, and they rarely encountered men.
Many people longed for a sweet romance—especially Shui Yue’er.
That said, Shui Yue’er was quite particular about appearances.
If someone wasn’t good-looking enough, she wouldn’t even glance at them.
“Isn’t this… morally wrong?” Shui Bing’er frowned slightly.
“Little sister, you don’t understand,” Shui Yue’er said knowingly.
You could spend a year with someone and feel nothing, yet develop deep feelings for another person in a single day.”
“Besides, Xu Fan and Ah Yin grew close over time, and Tang Hao isn’t a good person anyway.”
Shui Bing’er nodded, half-understanding.
“Wow!
That’s so exciting,” Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly.
“So that’s how they ended up together.”
“That makes sense.
A savior who keeps a lonely person company would naturally stir feelings—especially someone as innocent as Ah Yin,” Ning Rongrong said.
In her eyes, Ah Yin really was innocent.
After all, for a transformed Spirit Beast to follow humans before concealing her aura—it could only be described kindly.
“And that Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well sounds amazing.
If you used it for farming, you’d make a fortune.”
Wow, rebirth even restores virginity for Spirit Beasts?
That means she has to endure all that pain again… Poor Ah Yin.
At the edge of the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters terrace, Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
“The Blue Silver Emperor… developing feelings for a human over time.”
“And this Xu Fan isn’t a good person either—coveting someone else’s wife.”
“How could I ever become his woman?
Impossible.”
Qian Renxue didn’t realize that irritation, resentment, and unfamiliar emotions were stirring within her.
The words in the notebook were extremely jarring to her eyes.
An inexplicable urge to tear it apart surged in her heart.
Meanwhile—
As Ah Yin read the passages about herself and Xu Fan, the despair in her heart eased slightly.
As a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, she had weathered countless storms.
From the words in the notebook, she could sense that Xu Fan was not a bad person.
I’ll be able to see him soon…
The thought arose, tinged with an indescribable unease.
She didn’t know whether the Xu Fan described in the notebook was the same as the real Xu Fan.
But she knew that if what was written was true, then she had no other choice.
She wanted to see for herself what kind of man she could develop feelings for over time.
[Speaking of relationships, Tang Hao and Ah Yin may once have had feelings for each other, but their bond was easily broken.]
After Ah Yin came to me, Tang Hao came to see me many times.
At first, he tried to use force—but he was no match for me.
Later, he tried to negotiate… haha.
