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

Luckily, Su Bai and Bai Ze managed to hail a taxi right outside the door after packing their things and going downstairs.

"Driver, to the western suburbs." Su Bai told the driver his destination while wiping the water stains off his clothes after getting into the car.

In the short distance of just seven or eight meters from the library entrance to the car, both he and Bai Ze were soaked through. They were now completely drenched, and water could be squeezed out of them with a little effort.

The driver immediately started the car and handed Su Bai a pack of tissues, saying, "Wipe it off first!"

"Thank you!" Su Bai thanked him and took the tissues, handing them to Bai Ze first. Bai Ze took a few and then pushed the tissues back, saying, "You should wipe yourself off too." His physical abilities were far superior to Su Bai's, a human-like creature whose bloodline hadn't even fully awakened. He just didn't like the feeling of being completely soaked.

"Okay!" Su Bai tore off some paper and began to tidy himself up.

The car was stuck in traffic near the library for a while, but then it started moving smoothly. Most cars were heading into the city, and very few people like Su Bai were going to the suburbs, so the journey was very smooth.

Bai Ze looked out the car window at the completely blocked road and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Xiao Jueming has been stuck in traffic! With road conditions like this, it's no wonder he can't move!"

"Exactly!" The driver immediately chimed in, as if he had found a kindred spirit. "This damn weather is really infuriating! It's fine during the day, but it changes as soon as it gets to the end of the workday. I heard there have been several accidents on congested roads, and the traffic police are overwhelmed."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately told the driver, "Then you'd better drive slowly, safety first!"

"Of course!" the driver said proudly. "I have over twenty years of driving experience."

"Really? You're really amazing!" Bai Ze praised him but didn't continue the conversation with the driver. In this kind of weather, he didn't dare to talk to the driver too much and distract him, just in case.

The car quickly drove out of the city. Because the shortest road was blocked, the driver asked Su Bai and his companion whether they should take the old road or the newly built road.

Hua Jueming was stuck on the old road, which was too narrow, and with the rain, the road conditions were definitely worse than usual. The newly built road was wider, but it was a bit longer. However, Su Bai didn't care about the distance; he cared more about his safety. "Let's take the newly built road!"

"Okay!" the driver replied and changed the route, also turning on the navigation. He hadn't driven the newly built road more than twice and wasn't very familiar with it.

After driving onto the newly paved road, a tiny black cloud of mist hit the driver's side window along with raindrops, then slipped into the car through the window crack and entered the driver's nostrils while the driver was yawning.

After walking for a while, Bai Ze suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This road... something feels off about it?"

"Huh?" Su Bai turned his head to look out the car window, then glanced at the navigation on the driver's phone. They were following the route! "Something's not right?"

"Why isn't there a single car outside?" Bai Ze muttered. Although the rain obscured his vision, he could still see vehicles driving by through the car window. However, after making a right turn, the vehicles suddenly disappeared. He initially thought it was because there were few cars on this section of the road, but after watching for a while, he realized something was wrong!

Even with few vehicles, you won't be completely unable to see any!

Upon hearing this, Su Bai also turned to look out the car window. After Bai Ze said that, he realized that something seemed a little off!

"Master, did we go to the wrong place?" Su Bai asked the driver, but the driver did not answer and continued driving as if he had not heard Su Bai's voice.

Su Bai took out his phone and opened the map. He realized that the car they were in had indeed deviated from the correct route, so he called out to the driver again, "Sir, could you please find a place to turn around up ahead? We've taken the wrong road."

However, the driver continued driving as if he hadn't heard him. Su Bai called out several more times, but the driver still didn't respond, so Su Bai got impatient!

Could they have gotten into an unlicensed taxi?

Did the driver want to take them to a remote, deserted place to rob them?

Bai Ze kept staring out the car window, trying to figure out where they had gone with his naked eye. Unfortunately, the rain was too heavy, and he couldn't see anything outside at all. Suddenly, he noticed a dark figure flash past the window, but he didn't see it clearly. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the dark figure had already disappeared. Just as he was wondering, he heard Su Bai calling the driver. He looked towards the driver and his heart skipped a beat.

When did the driver become possessed by a demon?

He was so close and he didn't even notice!

How to do?

Bai Ze glanced at Su Bai with concern. He was not good at fighting and had no way to protect Su Bai while the vehicle was in motion!

The driver realized that Bai Ze had spotted him, so he immediately slammed on the gas pedal, and the car accelerated instantly, flying a great distance away.

Due to inertia, Su Bai's body was suddenly pressed against the back of the seat. It took him a while to adjust. He said angrily to the driver, "Stop the car right now, or I'll call the police!"

The driver ignored him and continued driving, seemingly unconcerned whether Su Bai called the police or not.

"I'll count to three! Three, two..." Before he could finish counting to one, Su Bai was struck by a cloud of black mist that suddenly burst forth from the driver before he could even dial the emergency number on his phone.

Su Bai immediately went limp and collapsed to the side, while Bai Ze was now completely enraged and directly attacked the 'driver'.

The 'driver' slammed the car to a stop, opened the door, and slipped out. He was currently in a possessed state, so his combat power wasn't very high. Since he had already achieved his objective, it was best to run away first.

Seeing that the 'driver' had escaped, Bai Ze glanced at Su Bai with concern. Upon noticing Hua Gengchen's scales on Su Bai's wrist, he immediately felt relieved, opened the car door, and chased after him. He was determined to catch him and hand him over to Hua Gengchen, otherwise he would become the scapegoat!

After Bai Ze left, another cloud of black mist slowly followed the roof of the car to the open door, and was overjoyed to see the unconscious Su Bai!

The black mist looked at Su Bai as if it were prey that had been spotted. It bared its fangs and pounced straight at Su Bai, as if it wanted to bite off a piece of Su Bai's flesh in one bite.

The moment it touched Su Bai's body, the black mist was instantly shrunken by the golden light suddenly emanating from Su Bai's wrist. It screamed and dodged to the side, warily watching Su Bai's wrist.

How could this human have something like this on their body?

Before Hei Wu could figure it out, Hua Gengchen, who was waiting for Su Bai to return home, suddenly paused, his expression hardening, and a terrifying chill emanated from his body. Before the bewildered eyes of the crowd, he swayed and was gone from the house in the next second.

Who?

How dare you touch Hua Gengchen's wife!

We must pulverize him to pieces, leaving not even ashes!

Meanwhile, after discovering that Su Bai had a protective treasure on him, the black mist glared at Su Bai unwillingly. Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, he couldn't give up now!

It's not easy to get such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and who knows if there will be another one like it!

The black mist hesitated for a second, but still wanted to try again!

It swelled to twice its original size, conjuring up the face of a demon, and lunged at Su Bai with a grotesque grin. But before it could even touch Su Bai's skin, it was blasted away by the golden light, and its enormous body immediately shrank to the size of an infant's fist, trembling with fear.

Black Mist gritted his teeth as he stared at the unconscious Su Bai. Victory was right in front of him, yet he couldn't achieve it. This feeling was incredibly frustrating!

With little time left, Black Mist glared at Su Bai, and just as she was about to give up, she saw a truck driving straight towards the taxi. Black Mist's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instantly disappeared from the truck.

After leaving the taxi, the black fog lingered in mid-air, watching the truck with its obvious purpose rush towards the taxi with lightning speed, its mouth agape.

Just as the truck was about to crash into the taxi, a tall, slender figure appeared beside it. He reached out his hand to the truck, which was hurtling towards the taxi without hesitation, and slowly opened his palm. The truck stopped abruptly half a meter away from the taxi, unable to move.

Upon seeing this, the black mist's eyes widened in fright, and its mind went blank for a moment.

It was the overwhelming killing intent that brought it back to its senses. Without a second thought, the black mist turned tail and fled, but Hua Gengchen would never allow it!

With a gentle grab towards the location of the black mist, it was imprisoned in mid-air. He asked in a cold voice, "Who gave you the audacity to touch my wife?"

The black mist could no longer speak, but Hua Gengchen didn't care to hear it. He slowly closed his hand, and the black mist was crushed, turning into specks of dust that fell from the sky and were then washed away by the rain, disappearing completely.

After clearing away the black fog, Hua Gengchen finally had time to look at the person sitting in the truck driver's seat. "Now, it's your turn!"

The driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked like a hoodlum. He had conspicuous blond hair and his arms were covered in tattoos. He was so scared by Hua Gengchen's cold stare that he almost wet himself. After witnessing a scene beyond common sense, he felt as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing when he heard Hua Gengchen's words. A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over him.

The thug jumped out of the car in a panic, clutching his head and begging for mercy. "I didn't mean to! The road was slippery because of the rain and my brakes broke down! I really didn't mean to! Please forgive me since no accident happened! I have an eighty-year-old mother and four young children to feed. I promise I'll never do it again! Please, please let me go!"

Hua Gengchen ignored the thug's explanations and directly erased his memories, finding the mastermind behind it all. With a light laugh, Hua Gengchen deleted the thug's unwanted memories and left a hint in his mind, instructing him to reveal the whole story when he saw the police.

After doing all this, Hua Gengchen glanced at the still-falling rain and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

He knew that human investigations relied on evidence, but rain could wash away evidence, so Hua Gengchen had to stop the rain immediately.

After glancing at Su Bai, who was still unconscious, Hua Gengchen transformed into a golden dragon and flew into the sky. He then proceeded to punch and kick the stubborn dark clouds, dispersing them completely in less than a minute, leaving not a single cloud behind.

Seeing this, Hua Gengchen nodded in satisfaction, flew around in the air once, and then flew down to transform back into human form.

Su Bai, whom Hua Gengchen thought was still unconscious, opened his eyes groggily just as Hua Gengchen transformed into a golden dragon and flew in a circle in the air. However, he only remained unconscious for a few seconds before falling back into a coma.
