Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

After working for two or three days, Su Bai finally planted all the delivered seeds in the ground and waited for them to sprout. He also planted the seeds of the Divine Jade Cabbage, but he set aside a separate area for them. His idea was to plant the Divine Jade Cabbage separately from other vegetables from the beginning, to see what made it different from other vegetables.

After the two pre-event promotions ended, Su Bai and Wang Ming calculated their profits together. After deducting costs, they earned a total of about 1,500 yuan from the two promotions. This amount was negligible compared to the savings in Su Bai's bank account, but Su Bai was very proud because he had grown the crops himself and earned them entirely through his own efforts.

The 1,500 yuan was only earned from the two pre-event activities, not from all the bok choy and lettuce.

"Wang Ming, I'm going to the city library later, so I'll leave the shipping to you." After picking and packing the vegetables needed for today, Su Bai started tidying up. Before the seeds for the next phase of the task sprouted, he wanted to quickly resolve the questions that had been bothering him.

Wang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, neatly stacked the packed boxes to the side, and without even asking Su Bai why she was going to the library, said, "No problem." He glanced at the time; it was already past ten. "Hurry up and go! The library is quite crowded in the afternoon, but it's less crowded now."

Su Bai picked up his phone and checked the time. It was indeed getting late. He turned around and walked out. "Then I'll go first. You can rest when you're done. Remember to eat on time."

"Got it!" Wang Ming chuckled. Sometimes he felt that Su Bai was very decisive, but other times he felt that Su Bai was like a mother hen.

As Su Bai stepped out of the villa, the driver was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Su Bai arrive, he opened the car door in advance.

"To the city library," Su Bai said to the driver after getting into the car.

The driver replied crisply, "Yes, madam." He then started the car and focused intently on driving, not daring to be careless for even a moment.

After arriving at the city library, Su Bai got out of the car. Since he didn't know how long he would stay there, he told the driver to go back first and come back to pick him up when the library closed.

The driver agreed verbally, but after driving a short distance and realizing that Su Bai had already entered the library, he found a parking space, parked the car, and quietly walked into the library, following behind Su Bai.

The Demon Emperor has given orders that the Demon Queen must not be harmed!

Therefore, the brown bear spirit dared not let Su Bai out of its sight for too long, for fear that an accident like last time would occur again.

After entering the library, Su Bai asked a staff member and learned that he could search for all the book categories in the library on the computer in the lobby on the first floor. So he went there directly.

The city library has the largest collection of books in the north of the city, so there are many people who come to look up the indexes. Su Bai found a less crowded place to queue and waited for a few minutes before it was his turn.

Typing "Shennong" into the search bar, the list of books that popped up, apart from the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," was mostly related to mythology, with a few being ancient texts in biographical style. Su Bai glanced at it briefly; there were quite a few, and he couldn't possibly read them all in a short time. So, Su Bai took out his phone, took pictures of all the books, and prepared to find and read them one by one.

Why does he have the bloodline of Shennong? Was the person who drained his blood in his past life after the Shennong bloodline in him?

Su Bai has no way of answering these questions now, but he believes that if he investigates everything about Shennong, even if he still doesn't know the specific reasons, he can at least have a plausible guess.

After taking pictures of all the books, Su Bai began searching for them in the library based on the search results.

From the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" to the "Annals of the Three Sovereigns" to the "Emperor's Century" to "Mythological Stories", "Complete Collection of Ancient Mythological Stories", and "Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc.

Su Bai picked up seven or eight books, found a seat by the window, and quietly began to read.

Because there were so many books, Su Bai only looked at the sections that recorded Shennong's deeds. From the myths, Su Bai learned that Shennong represented a clan, similar to a family or tribe. The Shennong people often referred to was Yan Di, the same Yan Di who was as famous as Huang Di. The Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs was also Yan Di.

But Shennong's contributions went far beyond the well-known things Su Bai knew, such as tasting hundreds of herbs and planting the five grains. He also turned hemp into cloth so that people could wear clothes; made a five-stringed zither to entertain the people; carved wood into a bow to awe the world; made pottery to improve people's lives; and established markets, pioneering the market.

When Su Bai saw these, he couldn't help but praise Shennong, saying that Shennong was truly amazing!

Then Su Bai discovered that Shennong's surname was Yiqi, and also Jiang. He remembered that his mother's surname was Jiang, and there was a river in his hometown that the older generation called Jiang River. It was said that the ancestors of the Jiang family developed from this river, so it was named that way.

Su Bai was slightly excited to have finally found a connection between himself and Shennong.

All the people of China today are descendants of Yan and Huang, possessing the bloodline of either Emperor Yan or Emperor Huang. Su Bai had never understood why he was an exception, the only one who possessed five percent of Shennong's bloodline. It turned out that the root of the problem lay with his mother.

It seems that his mother's branch of the Jiang clan may have originated from the direct line of Shennong, so they have more Shennong blood than others. And there weren't many relatives on his mother's side to begin with, so after his maternal grandmother passed away, he was the only one left.

Thinking of his grandmother, Su Bai felt a slight tightness in his chest; he could barely remember what she looked like anymore...

"Gurgle~" Before Su Bai could even get into her feelings, the sound coming from her stomach drew her attention. She put her hand on her stomach and felt that it was empty. Only then did Su Bai realize that she had forgotten to eat lunch.

After glancing at the book, which was still more than half full, Su Bai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take care of his stomach problem first before coming back to continue reading.

After putting the book back on the shelf, Su Bai packed his things and headed outside, searching for places to eat on his phone as he walked.

Suddenly, someone bumped into Su Bai's shoulder, and Su Bai almost dropped his phone. He panicked for a moment before managing to steady it.

"Sorry! I wasn't paying attention." Just as Su Bai held his phone steady, he heard an apologetic voice in his ear. Su Bai frowned; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

But he had been so focused on his phone that he hadn't paid attention to the road, and bumping into someone wasn't solely the other person's fault. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention either. Are you alright...?" Su Bai apologized as he looked up. After recognizing who he had bumped into, the last word caught in his throat, and he hesitated for a moment before finally uttering it.

Su Bai's reaction amused the person opposite him. "Oh, it's you!" The person in front of him had a refined smile, and after recognizing Su Bai, the smile in his eyes widened even more. The tension from bumping into someone instantly disappeared. "Third Young Master Su, long time no see!"

"Hehe," Su Bai chuckled awkwardly, deeply regretting that he hadn't been watching where he was going earlier, "Patriarch Li."

"As an apology for accidentally bumping into you, I would like to invite you to a meal to express my remorse. Would you do me the honor, Young Master Su?" Li Chengtian said very politely.

"No need!" Su Bai refused directly, but then felt it was too direct, so he quickly added, "What I meant was that we were both responsible for accidentally bumping into each other. An apology is enough, there's no need for dinner." After a slight pause, he added, "I have something to do this afternoon, I don't have much time."

What a joke, having dinner with Li Chengtian!

What if Su Yangxia and Su Chengjun find out and misunderstand?

He didn't want to attract their attention!

Li Chengtian is someone that both Su Yangxia and Su Chengjun are actively trying to win over. If they find out that he had a meal with Li Chengtian, even if nothing happened, they will think the wrong thing. Su Bai doesn't want to take that risk.

Li Chengtian smiled and said, "Let's do it another day! Do you have a business card? Could you give me one? We can make an appointment when you have time."

Su Bai frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and looked at Li Chengtian. He felt that Li Chengtian's attitude towards him was a bit strange, as if he was being a little too attentive.

"Master Li is joking. How could someone as idle as me possibly have a business card?" So don't waste your time on him. Go treat someone else to a meal!

He's afraid he'll get indigestion after eating it!

But Li Chengtian had no intention of giving up and persisted, saying, "Then let's add each other on WeChat!" With that, Li Chengtian opened his phone and showed Su Bai the QR code for adding each other on WeChat.

Su Bai really wanted to pretend her phone was broken, but under Li Chengtian's smiling eyes, she couldn't bring herself to lie. She could only slowly turn her phone on and add Li Chengtian as a friend.

"Alright!" Li Chengtian quickly changed the nickname in the contact, waved his phone at Su Bai and said, "Let's make an appointment later."

"Hehe." Su Bai chuckled awkwardly and quickly ran away from Li Chengtian. He'd deal with the rest later; first, he needed to get past this hurdle.

As Li Chengtian watched Su Bai's flustered figure disappear, a glint of malice flashed in his smiling eyes. This renowned third young master of the Su family was truly interesting!

Su Bai ran quite a distance before stopping to catch her breath. After looking back and not seeing Li Chengtian's figure anymore, she immediately took out her phone, opened WeChat, and set Li Chengtian's friend permissions to chat only.

He genuinely didn't want to have anything to do with Li Chengtian, and today's events were just an accident.

"I must remember to watch where I'm going from now on!" Su Bai reminded himself silently. It wouldn't be a good thing if he bumped into someone he didn't want to bump into again.

After exiting WeChat, Su Bai continued searching for places to eat nearby.

Meanwhile, the brown bear spirit who had been following Su Bai to protect him was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Hua Jueming had previously warned against Wang Ming stealing his master's girlfriend, and he hadn't detected any threatening aura from Wang Ming then. But today, he had found it in a stranger!

The way the man who bumped into the lady looked at her was really strange! He felt that this was the person Hua Jueming had said he had to keep a close watch on to prevent from stealing his master's wife.
