Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 91 mentioned it, but not everything.

Shang Xingjian watched as Cheng Mai left his arms, still bearing the marks left by the teleportation talisman.

"I heard that General Meng An recently invented a talisman called the Wish-Fulfilling Teleportation Talisman. Are you thinking of me?" Shang Xingjian joked with Cheng Mai in a very good mood, after all, this answer was hard to make anyone unhappy.

Cheng Mai rolled his eyes. "Nian Shi just drew me here for fun."

“Even a child your age is better than you.” Shang Xingjian clicked his tongue and completely let go.

Cheng Mai steadied herself and looked around. Behind Shang Xingjian was her mother's grave. The tombstone had been repaired long ago, but Cheng Mai didn't know who lived there now. An empty grave would always attract some wandering ghosts.

"You came here to look for my dad?" Cheng Mai didn't see her father, but this place made her unhappy. In her opinion, her father's presence only tainted her mother's place.

Even if it wasn't her mother inside.

“He’s here, of course I had to come here to find him. But you’re too late, he’s already gone.” Shang Xingjian gave Cheng Mai a regretful look. If he had come a little earlier, he might have been able to see that person and exchange a few words.

Cheng Mai frowned, staring intently at Shang Xingjian. "You've been staying in City A, is it because City A has the most people you're looking for?"

Whether they are people stripped of their divinity or possessed by divine consciousness, they are all in this city.

The merchant must have had other purposes in gathering these people.

"Let me correct you on one point. It's not that I'm looking for these people, but rather that these people are destined to gather in this city." And then, step by step, they walk towards death.

"What did you talk about with him?" Cheng Mai asked directly this time.

Shang Xingjian smiled and said, "Let's talk about who the person behind him is and what they want to do. We'll also talk to him about who I am."

Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian with suspicion, seemingly considering the veracity of his words.

"You've reached a cooperation agreement with him?" Otherwise, Shang Xingjian wouldn't have revealed his identity.

"I told him, but he didn't believe me. He insisted that I was faking it, so I found a few real ghosts to send him away," Shang Xingjian said, sounding quite aggrieved.

Cheng Mai believed that this was something that Jian Neng of the business empire could do, and besides, his identity sounded like a lie; who would believe it?

"So I'm curious, why did you really believe I was a god when I told you? Weren't you afraid I was lying to you?"

Cheng Mai was stunned. To be more precise, the question stumped her. She seemed to have never really thought of doubting Shang Xingjian.

It was as if she knew he was a god, a fact she knew without needing anyone to tell her.

Shang Xing simply placed his hand on her shoulder, "As expected of someone I've taken a liking to, you're quite intelligent."

"Take your hands off me, or I'll chop them off." Cheng Mai stared at his hands, threatening him with a chilling look.

"What are you taking? We're going down the mountain, it's going to get windy and cold." Shang Xingjian said, ignoring Cheng Mai's struggles, and directly grabbed him and ran down the mountain.

Cheng Mai: "..." Some people really can't be given a friendly look.

"Let go." "No, let's go, let's go." Shang Xingjian stubbornly refused to let go.

Cheng Mai was ultimately unable to break free and had no choice but to let him go.

"Actually, I didn't have anything else to ask Cheng Ming about; I just wanted to know if he has any memories at all," Shang Xingjian said to Cheng Mai halfway down the mountain.
"You mean, he has memories of his past life?"

“It’s not just him. In recent years, several people in City A have suddenly awakened their past memories, starting from the time you were born,” Shang Xingjian said. “These people are not normal, but they have always blended into the crowd, making them very difficult to spot.”

Cheng Mai listened, pondering the people around him, "Is it because of what Shen Luo said, that spiritual energy is reviving?"

"No, it's that the cracks in the void are getting bigger and bigger. This is not a spiritual energy revival, but a spiritual energy imbalance. Once the cracks in the void are completely opened, the earth will not be able to bear it. The result will be the annihilation of all living beings and the earth being stretched to the point of explosion."

Cheng Mai stopped and looked up at Shang Xingjian.

"Solving this problem is actually quite simple. We need to build up Xuanhe Technology's system, completely separate the human realm from the spirit realm, and gather the spiritual energy that has been diverted to the spirit realm. That will solve the problem. So, Mr. Cheng, you have a long way to go." Shang Xingjian said earnestly, patting Cheng Mai on the shoulder.

"It's that simple?"

"Otherwise what? As long as the human realm and the spirit realm are completely separated, the spiritual energy of the void realm will not sweep around and will naturally not be torn apart. That crack was sealed by the sacrifice of eleven supreme gods. If it were not for the power of heaven and earth, it would be very difficult to break open." Shang Xingjian said with a straight face.

Cheng Mai, however, seemed to believe it but not quite, after all, Shang Xingjian's words were often unreliable.

"Trust me, would I lie to you?" Shang Xingjian said, cupping Cheng Mai's face and rubbing it gently. "Smile, why are you so serious?"

"With so much pressure on me, why do you think I'm being serious?" Cheng Mai said, his voice trembling with sobs, staring at Shang Xingjian and telling him to let go.

Shang Xingjian was in a very good mood. He watched her struggle, his gaze gradually darkening. He seemed to be looking at her, but he also seemed to be just looking at her.

Cheng Mai struggled and noticed Shang Xingjian's unusual behavior. She slowed her struggle and finally stomped hard on Shang Xingjian's foot.

The merchant screamed and released the person, then jumped up, clutching his foot, "Why did you step on me?"

"Look carefully, I'm Cheng Mai, not your ex-wife." His gaze was clearly looking through her as he looked at someone else. What a scumbag!

Cheng Mai grew angrier the more he thought about it, and in a huff, he turned and went down the mountain.

Shang Xingjian watched the person run off angrily, put down her foot which wasn't hurting much to begin with, paused for a moment, and then chased after her. "Who was I looking at? Wasn't I looking at you the whole time? I've told you everything you wanted to know, and I've also told you things you didn't want to know. Don't be angry."

Cheng Mai continued walking downwards, refusing to acknowledge him.

Shang Xingjian circled around her, saying, "I've made you hundreds of millions today, so give me a smile."

"Several hundred million, in the end, it will still be spent on you, right?" Cheng Mai sneered. Because of this money, she had been swindled by Cheng Ming once, and yet this man was still here reminiscing about the past with her.

With a satisfied smile, Shang Xing followed Cheng Mai slowly, saying, "It's so good to be a kept man."

Cheng Mai suddenly stopped, but Shang Xingjian couldn't stop in time and bumped into her, almost knocking her over. He quickly grabbed her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was so close!

Cheng Mai: "..." He was even angrier!
What's wrong with her eyes that makes her like this person?
"So, what's the ending? Does he really have his past memories?" Cheng Mai was still confused and hadn't gotten a concrete answer yet.
