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

The story naturally ends in tragedy. Neither the scholar nor the fairy could find vegetables containing spiritual energy. If the fairy remained in the human world, she would only grow weaker and weaker until she could no longer maintain her human form and turned into a rabbit.

The fairy didn't care about staying by the scholar's side in the form of a rabbit, but the scholar didn't want to see his beloved wife suffer, so he cruelly separated from the fairy, wanting her to return to the demon realm and live a good life.

However, the fairy, heartbroken by the scholar, became possessed by a demon and killed him before learning the truth. She then committed suicide to follow the scholar in death.

After reading this story, Su Bai sighed deeply, but that was all he could do.

Throughout history, the idea that humans and demons cannot fall in love remains deeply ingrained in many people's minds, so much so that it's impossible to eradicate. But it doesn't matter if it can't be eradicated; after all, demons are creations of humankind and cannot exist in reality.

From a realistic perspective, this strange tale is most likely a product of ancient people's imagination, lacking any real-world basis. However, Su Bai pondered deeply after reading about Shennong's ability to cultivate vegetables imbued with spiritual energy!

He recalled that the system's origin was unique.

He remembered that the vegetables grown using the systematic method tasted so good that even the most advanced technology couldn't compare.

He remembered the last words he heard before he died in his previous life: 'It is his honor to dedicate himself to the project of creating a god.'

Su Bai found it hard not to connect these events with the descriptions of Shennong in the legends, otherwise he would have no way to explain it all.

But if that's the case, then the fairies he's never believed in also exist in the world?

How could fairies actually exist?

That's clearly something people made up!

Su Bai felt like he was caught in a strange mystery. He seemed to have found the answer, but it contradicted everything he knew. No matter what he did, he couldn't explain it.

Su Bai suddenly stopped all his movements and didn't move for a long time, which caught Bai Ze's attention. He turned the book he hadn't finished reading over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you run into a problem?"

Su Bai looked up upon hearing this and nodded slightly. "I've encountered something I can't figure out." He couldn't understand it! If there were no fairies in this world, how could the person who wrote this strange tale have fabricated the idea that Shennong could cultivate vegetables containing spiritual energy? Shennong was clearly a human, and a leader in ancient times. If he were to fabricate something, it should be something that would benefit humans. There's no reason why something that doesn't benefit humans would benefit fairies. Isn't that a bit too strange?

If it's not a fabrication, then the fairies really exist; it's just that most people don't know it. Only a few humans know this truth, but they've kept it a secret all along.

Su Bai's mind was filled with all sorts of hypotheses, but he couldn't come up with a final conclusion.

"Would you be willing to tell me? Perhaps I can help you answer your questions," Bai Ze asked. If Su Bai was willing to tell him, he could also find out why Su Bai was so interested in the Shennong clan.

Su Bai thought about it for a moment, but still chose not to say it.

Because whether he was reborn or possessed a system, it was not something he could tell others.

He won't easily trust anyone now!

"It's nothing important, if you can't figure it out, just forget about it." Su Bai said this, but what he really wanted to do was to write this question down first, and then after he finished reading all the books, he would put all the questions together, see which one was the most suspicious, and then answer it.

Bai Ze saw through Su Bai's lie at a glance, but Su Bai chose not to say anything, and Bai Ze respected his decision. "Then I'll continue reading."

"Hmm!" Su Bai nodded, and after watching Bai Ze turn the book over and continue reading it quickly, he lowered his head again and finished reading the book in his hand.

The following content was not of much reference value, as it talked about things unrelated to Shennong. Su Bai quickly flipped through it and opened the next book.

Most of the stories in this book have nothing to do with Shennong. Only one story mentions it briefly, but it's also quite far-fetched. The story goes that in ancient times, a family amassed wealth through dishonest means. They finally had a son, whom they pampered like the apple of their eye, but upon reaching adulthood, he was poisoned with arsenic by an enemy. Doctors from all over the city were summoned, but all declared him incurable, and his parents wept bitterly. Just then, a woman came to their house, claiming she could save him, but only if they promised to marry him.

Su Bai wasn't in the mood to watch what happened next. In short, this woman was a descendant of Shennong, and her blood could cure all poisons.

Su Bai had already read about Shennong's life. He did indeed taste all kinds of herbs, but it was also true that he was poisoned to death by the poisonous herb, Gelsemium elegans. Moreover, in the entire Shennong clan, only Emperor Yan tasted all kinds of herbs. Even if his blood developed some resistance, that was Emperor Yan's own business. It was impossible for it to have the effect of curing all poisons, nor could it be passed on to his descendants. It was even more impossible for the blood of a member of the Shennong clan to be able to cure all poisons. Such talk was pure nonsense.

Therefore, the person who drained Su Bai's blood in the previous life probably didn't come for this reason!

It's been said to be a god-making project, so why would a god be afraid of poison? Does a god need a body immune to all poisons? There shouldn't be any poison in this world that can kill a god!

Su Bai felt that the mystery was becoming more and more perplexing. What was so magical about the Shennong bloodline in his body that made it worthwhile for that person to drain all the blood from his body, leaving not a single drop?

Putting the book aside, Su Bai continued reading the next one, and then the one after that.

After quickly flipping through a dozen or so books, Su Bai felt his brain was completely blank. "Let's go, let's go get something to eat first." He stopped abruptly and realized that his stomach was already empty; he was practically starving.

Bai Ze also found some information in a book and became so engrossed that he was only brought back to his senses when Su Bai called him. Before he could even speak, his stomach made a very noticeable protest, "Gurgle~"

"Hehe," Bai Ze chuckled, "I'm sorry you had to see this! What shall we eat?" He packed up quickly, afraid of delaying the important matter of filling their stomachs.

Su Bai thought for a moment, "Let's go eat stew!" It's a big meal and goes well with rice, which is more suitable for his and Bai Ze's current situation. He remembered that there was a stew restaurant next to the Chinese fast food restaurant he had eaten before.

"Okay!" Bai Ze immediately agreed, then emphasized, "It has to be the kind with lots of meat!" Lunch is a must, and it absolutely can't be without meat! And it can't be too little meat either!

"Then let's have a goose meal." Su Bai, who was very confident in Bai Ze's appetite, immediately thought of this dish, which he could only sigh at in the past, because he really couldn't eat that much by himself.

Bai Ze slurped his saliva and nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay!"

The two of them packed their things very quickly and then went to the stew restaurant. After arriving, they asked for a small private room and ordered stewed goose, cucumber salad, and stir-fried lettuce. The staple food was rice. Actually, one stewed goose would have been enough for the two of them, but Su Bai was worried that eating too much meat would be too greasy, so she ordered two other dishes to balance it out.

As soon as Bai Ze entered, he smelled a wonderful aroma, which made his stomach rumble even louder. However, the food hadn't arrived yet, so he could only drink some water to comfort himself. But even after drinking a cup, it didn't seem to help much. So he tried to distract himself by chatting with Su Bai. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's making people anxious." The stew restaurant wasn't actually far from the library, but the two of them were drenched in sweat by the time they got there.

"We've been staying in an air-conditioned room the whole time, so coming out suddenly will definitely be unbearably hot!" Su Bai was almost scared back by the heat wave as he stepped out of the library. "But the weather is indeed quite hot and stuffy."

Bai Ze drank another glass of water and poured one for Su Bai. "The muggy weather means it's going to rain, but I wonder when it will rain?" It's possible the rain will be blown away by some unknown wind. "The mountains are so much better; the temperature and air are so much better than in the city!" That's why he's stayed at his dilapidated Taoist temple.

"But humans live in groups, and it's impossible to stay in the mountains forever. Reality wouldn't allow it either." The mountains are certainly nice, with no pressure other than the pressure of eating. Su Bai even wanted to find a place to live in seclusion after taking revenge and enjoy life to the fullest.

“Yes! Reality won’t allow it…” Bai Ze seemed to think of something, and his expression turned melancholy for a moment, but he quickly covered it up. “Let’s not talk about such heavy topics. I’ve never been to this library before. I didn’t expect it to have such a rich collection of books.”

"The collection here is indeed vast. I've heard there are quite a few rare and ancient books, but those books have all been carefully stored away, and all we can see are photocopies." Su Bai chose to come here to research precisely because of the large collection; going to a small library would not only yield no clues but also be a waste of time.

Upon hearing about rare and ancient books, Bai Ze's eyes lit up several degrees. "Where can we find those books?" He loved rare and ancient books!

Su Bai stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "I remember it was somewhere on the top floor, but I'll have to ask the staff for the exact location."

"I'll ask the staff when I get back after dinner," Bai Ze said. Although the books he was reading contained some scattered information about the Jiaolong Clan, he knew all of it, but it was deep in his memory and he couldn't recall it for the time being. Now that he saw them in the books again, Bai Ze remembered them and some other things that were not recorded in the books, but it didn't help much in finding the Jiaolong Clan.

The reason is that the Jiaolong clan was suppressed too severely by the Dragon clan, and almost no trace of them has been left in the long river of history.

Bai Ze would have to use all his strength to find the Jiaolong Clan in a short period of time!

Just then, the waiter brought over the dishes they had ordered. Bai Ze instantly put aside what was on his mind, leaving only the pot of fragrant stewed goose in front of him.

After slurping his saliva, Bai Ze picked up his chopsticks and eagerly reached out his wicked claws towards the goose meat in the pot, while Su Bai asked the waiter to bring out the rice first.

Bai Ze blew a few breaths on the goose meat on his chopsticks, and before it had even cooled down, he eagerly took a bite. He burned his lips again, but couldn't help licking them. "Delicious!"

"Eat slowly!" Su Bai couldn't wait any longer after hearing Bai Ze's words. He picked up a piece of meat, put it in his bowl, blew on it a few times, and then put it in his mouth. His cheeks bulged from the large piece of meat, and Su Bai's eyes brightened. The taste was indeed quite good!
