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

Unable to get an answer from Su Bai, Bai Ze became even more curious about how Hua Gengchen had suddenly become enlightened, and even wanted to bring Hua Gengchen over to study him.

However, upon thinking of the disparate combat power, Bai Ze immediately dismissed the idea; his life was more important!

"If you find out in the future, Xiao Su Bai must remember to share it with me!" It's never too late to gossip about the truth.

Su Bai figured he had no chance of finding out the truth, so agreeing to Bai Ze's request didn't seem to cause any problems, and thus he agreed, "...Okay!"

"Good friend!" Bai Ze patted Su Bai's shoulder with satisfaction. Little Su Bai was indeed much easier to talk to than that treacherous Hua Gengchen! He wondered how Heaven had arranged things, giving such a good Su Bai to that thousand-year-old ice prince Hua Gengchen!

"Haha," Su Bai laughed awkwardly. Being called a "good friend" by someone whose status was many times higher than his own felt so strange.

However, Bai Ze doesn't seem to have any airs in the Hua family. Hua Gengchen, the younger generation, often goes against Bai Ze, the elder, and when they argue, you can't tell their relationship at all.

Bai Ze didn't get to gossip about what he wanted, so he quickly let go of Su Bai and went back to the sofa to lie down again. But after a while, Bai Ze pulled a book out from the sofa cushions and flipped through it casually.

Su Bai had left her phone in the bedroom. Her stomach was still a little upset, and she wanted to call Hua Jueming, but then remembered that Hua Jueming had gone to deliver food to Wang Ming and hadn't returned yet. Su Bai didn't want to ask anyone else for help, so she turned on the TV. She flipped through all the channels, but couldn't find anything she wanted to watch, so she turned it off.

His gaze casually swept over Bai Ze's hand, then immediately stopped!

The book Bai Ze was reading was actually related to mythology!

"Do you like mythology?" Su Bai asked.

Bai Ze looked up from the book. "Hmm... I guess I like it!" He could only reminisce about his friends from ancient times through myths. But now he was searching for the whereabouts of the Flood Dragon Clan. Too much time had passed, and he needed something to trigger those deep-seated memories. The mythology book was the key to triggering those memories.

"So you have a very good understanding of mythology?" Su Bai pressed, his expression slightly excited. Originally, after failing to find the information, he wanted to ask his university professors if they knew anything about this. He was about to make a call when he remembered that his professors studied history after the Qin Dynasty and had no knowledge of ancient times or even history recorded only in mythology, so he gave up the idea.

"I guess so!" He was a demon from that era in mythology, how could he not know anything about it? But that period was really too long ago, Bai Ze said that people forget some things as they get older, so please don't pry into his background.

Hearing Bai Ze say this, Su Bai suddenly had the idea to give it a try. Anyway, he hadn't made any progress, so what if Bai Ze could provide him with a clue?

After thinking for a moment, Su Bai asked, "Do you think the people in myths and legends really exist? If they do, what evidence is there?"

"Of course they exist!" Bai Ze said without hesitation, only realizing his tone was too assertive afterward, and quickly added, "This is just my personal opinion." He paused slightly, "As for evidence? That's hard to say. If you believe it, they exist; if you don't, they don't!"

That's how the power of human faith works: if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't.

If Hua Gengchen hadn't become a symbol of the emperor and hadn't saved the world, and hadn't been remembered by humanity, his power of faith would have been gone long ago, and the demon realm and the human realm wouldn't have survived to this day.

Faith is a mysterious thing; it can only exist if one believes from the bottom of one's heart. Therefore, the power of faith represented by this auspicious beast is not as great as that of Hua Gengchen, the long worm, but it is still better than other demonic beasts. At least some people can still remember him.

Su Bai was speechless; Bai Ze's words were as good as saying nothing at all!

"So how can I gain a comprehensive understanding of a mythological figure?"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ze looked at Su Bai with surprise, trying to glean some clues from Su Bai's expression. He had just told Hua Gengchen that he would tell Su Bai things step by step, and now Su Bai was asking him such a question. Was it a coincidence or...deliberate?

Could it be that Hua Gengchen was too excited after his enlightenment and accidentally let Su Bai discover his true form?

Or did Su Bai, who had been living in the Hua family's house, accidentally discover the true forms of some demons?

"Why would you ask such a question?" Bai Ze put down his book and sat up, staring intently at Su Bai. Su Bai felt a little uncomfortable under Bai Ze's gaze and avoided his eyes before saying, "Just asking casually."

Just asking!

Bai Ze certainly didn't believe this, but since Su Bai was unwilling to say it outright, Bai Ze wouldn't press the matter. He just kept a watchful eye on things, saying, "Whose business do you want to know? Tell me, maybe I know something."

Now it was Su Bai's turn to hesitate; he didn't know whether he should ask Bai Ze this question.

After thinking for a long time, Su Bai finally spoke, "I want to know about the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and Chi You." By hiding his true purpose among several targets, even if Bai Ze had doubts, it would take some time to confirm that he was indeed targeting them.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's body tensed instantly. Why would Su Bai ask about the Yan Emperor? Had he really discovered something?

"Aren't these three characters mentioned in every mythology book? What else would you like to know?"

“Uh…” Su Bai was speechless. Of course he knew that these three appeared frequently in mythology books, but none of them were what he wanted! “I’m just curious and want to know if there are any things about these three that are not recorded in mythology books.”

Bai Ze is now more than half certain that Su Bai knows something, but he doesn't know exactly what it is!

To avoid alerting the enemy, Bai Ze chose to give Su Bai a hint before telling Hua Gengchen, "There should be some! But most of them are recorded in unofficial histories and miscellaneous records. Perhaps they have long since disappeared into the river of history after the passage of time. It won't be easy to find them! But it would be much easier to find a certain person from the Tang Dynasty. There are a lot of unofficial histories and miscellaneous records from the Tang Dynasty. I often read them like novels! They are very interesting."

"That's right! There are also unofficial histories and miscellaneous records!" Su Bai suddenly slapped his thigh. How could he have forgotten about these things?

While in the library, he was so engrossed in researching official histories and myths that he completely forgot about unofficial histories and miscellaneous records. I remember my professors often saying in college that when encountering difficulties in archaeology, one could consult unofficial histories and miscellaneous records for inspiration. Although they are not as widely accepted as official histories, they can still be helpful for reference.

Su Bai couldn't wait to go to the computer and look up relevant books, even forgetting about her upset stomach. "Thank you, Bai Ze! I'll go back to my room now, you should get some sleep!" After saying that, Su Bai ran off in a flash.

After watching Su Bai's figure disappear from sight, Bai Ze stuffed the book back into the sofa cushions and went to Hua Gengchen's study on the third floor.

"You mean my wife might know that I'm a descendant of Shennong?" Hua Gengchen finally came to this conclusion after listening to Bai Ze chatter on for quite a while.

Ignoring the boastful title, Bai Ze focused all his attention on the matter at hand: "That's exactly what I mean! Otherwise, how do you explain Su Bai's current behavior? Ordinary humans wouldn't easily be interested in the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor." They only regard them as mythical figures, fictional, and non-existent.

Hua Gengchen relaxed and leaned back in his chair, saying calmly, "I've suspected this for a long time."

"What!?" Bai Ze was shocked. "When? Su Bai wouldn't have found out about our identities too, would he?!"

"No! My wife doesn't know our identities!" Hua Gengchen denied. "I just said that my wife already knew about his identity as a descendant of Shennong. After he accidentally absorbed the black crystal, he didn't have any questions. This is not the reaction that an ordinary human would have. That's why I guessed that my wife already knew about her identity as a descendant of Shennong."

"Now that you mention it, I do remember. Su Bai's behavior back then was indeed a bit off!" Bai Ze glared at Hua Gengchen and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He was so worried, he really thought Su Bai had discovered their identities!

Hua Gengchen didn't speak, but his disdainful look clearly conveyed the meaning of 'that's because you're stupid,' which made Bai Ze even angrier. Hua Gengchen, you worm!

"You've already eaten the vegetables my wife grew and you still haven't noticed? Who can you blame?" Hua Gengchen said calmly. "Vegetables containing spiritual energy are very different from ordinary vegetables. Do you really think my wife wouldn't know?" If Su Bai didn't know, the price of the vegetables wouldn't be so high. But that little bit of money is nothing to him, so easy.

Bai Ze: "...!!!"

He really hadn't thought of that!

"However, my wife's behavior is still a bit strange. Why is she suddenly investigating Shennong?" Could it be that Su Bai has a health problem?

Hua Gengchen immediately started imagining things, and every single one of them was something bad.

"Stop!!" Bai Ze urgently called for a halt, assuring him, "Su Bai's body is absolutely fine! His bloodline is also steadily activating, and the day of success is not far off! But you're not wrong either, Su Bai's sudden investigation into Shennong is very strange. He already knows that he is a descendant of Shennong, so what else is there to investigate?"

Furthermore, Su Bai felt that the mythological stories were not comprehensive enough. So what exactly did Su Bai want to know that made him feel that the mythological stories were not comprehensive enough?

Bai Ze felt that they couldn't leave a ticking time bomb there, so he offered the suggestion: "How about I go and test the waters again?"

“No need,” Hua Gengchen said, “If you go again, you’ll only alert them! My wife isn’t someone to be easily fooled.”

"What should we do then?" Bai Ze was anxious. After what happened last time, what he feared most was an accident!

"My wife will definitely go to the library to look up information again, and we'll just have the people protecting him keep a close eye on things!" Hua Gengchen said nonchalantly. He didn't think that Su Bai's research on Shennong would have a bad impact on them at all. It was just a feeling, without any evidence.

Bai Ze thought about it and agreed that it was feasible. At worst, he could have the people protecting Su Bai write down all the books Su Bai had read, and then he could read them again.

"Oh right! I forgot to remind you, you still need to be careful about doing things step by step, otherwise it's easy to make things worse."

“Yes!” Hua Gengchen nodded solemnly. This matter concerned the safety of the demon realm and the human realm, and even more so whether he could gain Su Bai’s forgiveness. Hua Gengchen would definitely consider it carefully before taking any action.
