The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

As soon as Zhao Hua returned, her father stopped her at the door and forced her to hand over the communication token.

Zhao Hua: "Dad, why did you take my communication token?"

Zhao Chuan: "You still dare to ask, what were you doing at Jingyuan?"

Zhao Hua: "It's Jiang Ming..."

Zhao Chuan: "Shut up, go back to your room. You're not allowed to come out until they leave."

Zhao Hua: "Father, how could you aid and abet the wicked? Sister Yao Yao had already arranged her marriage, and he still snatched her away and locked her up in our Jingyuan Garden... Waaah..."

Zhao Chuan covered Zhao Hua's mouth: "You still dare to say that! Are you out of your mind! I've really spoiled you! Get back to your room."

Zhao Hua: "Father..."

Zhao Hua: "Get out of here!"

Zhao Hua was locked up by her father, with the doors and windows sealed off. She couldn't escape and could only worry helplessly.

Jiang Ming hadn't finished dealing with his business, so he stayed in Qijiang City for another three days.

For the past three days, Shen Yao has been locked up again, forbidden from going out or seeing Xianyu.

Jiang Ming comes home very late every day. He sleeps next to her in the middle of the night, separated by a blanket, and leaves as soon as he gets up in the morning without saying a word to her.

Finally, Jiang Ming took her away from Qijiang City, but they didn't see Wang Xu and Shen Yu.

Shen Yao: "Where's my sister?"

Jiang Ming: "Don't worry, Wang Xu already took her away yesterday."

Shen Yao was furious. Jiang Ming was really cunning; he even separated her from the salted fish while they were traveling.

Jiang Ming switched to a flying magical artifact, which was a flying boat.

The flying boat was beautiful; the interior was even decorated with bubble flowers. Shen Yao lingered there for a while.

Jiang Ming: "Do you like it?"

Shen Yao: "Can I say I don't like it?"

Jiang Ming: "Your tree branch was too ugly, so I specially made this one for you."

Shen Yao: "Thank you so much, Hall Master Jiang. You took all my storage rings and gave them to me. What am I supposed to put them in?"

There wasn't much in her storage ring, so Jiang Ming thought for a moment and returned it to her.

Shen Yao took the storage ring and put it on: "Where's my stone bead?"

Jiang Ming: "Do you still want the communication token?"

Shen Yao: "If I want it, will you give it to me?"

Jiang Ming took out a new communication token: "Here you go, but it can only contain my command message."

Shen Yao refused to take it, but Jiang Ming forcibly tied it around her waist: "Take it. Although the journey is not far, you can still ask me for help if you encounter any accidents."

Shen Yao: "You took my stone beads, you wouldn't be trying to seize my wealth, would you?"

Jiang Ming laughed: "Speaking of this, Fairy Shen's wealth has truly broadened my horizons."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao knew that he had flown up the stone wall to take a look, and her face immediately darkened.

Jiang Ming: "I'll leave the stone beads with you first, otherwise I'm afraid you'll run away."

"Don't worry, Fairy Shen. Even if your wealth could buy the entire Three Clans, you would still tempt me more than those Perfect Stones."

Shen Yao rolled her eyes: "Is it because you're attracted to me, or to my spiritual root? Hall Master Jiang, are you planning to take me back to the True God Sect and have your father extract my spiritual root?"

Jiang Ming: "Speaking of which, tell me, how exactly did you awaken your new spiritual root?"

"It is truly one of a kind that a new spiritual root is awakened below the fifth grade."

Shen Yao: "What? You want to extract my spiritual root for research?"

Jiang Ming: "No, I'm just curious."

Shen Yao started making things up: "Everyone in our Outer Heavens has a growth-type spiritual root."

Jiang Ming's eyes began to heat up: "Do you have many gods in your Outer Heaven?"

Shen Yao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "There are many, a great many. I don't know exactly how many there are. Anyway, I've heard so many myths and legends since I was a child."

Jiang Ming's eyes grew even more eager. In their world, there was only one true god from beginning to end, but in the outer heavens, there were many gods. Just how talented must the immortals from Shen Yao's hometown be?

Jiang Ming didn't think he was power-hungry, but at this moment, his ambition began to swell.

Shen Yao noticed something strange in Jiang Ming's eyes: "What do you mean by that look?"

Jiang Ming asked, "Shen Yao, do you think if we had a child, would he inherit your talent?"

Shen Yao realized she had said the wrong thing: "Don't think that way. I have reproductive isolation from you. You know what reproductive isolation is, right? Infertility."

"Oh." Jiang Ming was a little disappointed, but then he said, "Don't worry, even if you can't have children, I'm still willing to have you as my wife."

Shen Yao was furious: "Jiang Ming, are you sick in the head?!"

Jiang Ming: "When you bullied me, you said you would be my wife."

Shen Yao slammed her hand on the table: "Jiang Ming, why are you always interested in my mud-made body? If you like mud so much, go back to the True God Sect and have your father make a few more mud figures for you to play with!"

Jiang Ming didn't quite understand. What did "a body made of mud" mean?

But he hesitated to ask. He remained silent for a while, recalling what Shen Yu had said: "You even caused her to lose her body and become a wandering ghost for a long time."

Jiang Ming had a very bad feeling.

After a long silence in the airship, Jiang Ming finally mustered the courage to ask, "Shen Yao, have you ever lost your body before?"

Shen Yao replied coldly, "Hmm, how did you know?"

Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with trepidation: "Does this concern me?"

Shen Yao thought for a moment, realizing that she couldn't return to Bai Luo's body because she had entered the Spirit Awakening Seal, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Ming: "It has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why do you hate me so much?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao gritted her teeth and said, "You killed my master and slaughtered my sect."

Jiang Ming: "Who exactly is your master?"

Shen Yao gave him a look, meaning that he would naturally know when she was able to kill him.

Jiang Ming understood the look in his eyes: "You still want to kill me."

Shen Yao turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Jiang Ming: "I'll ask you two last questions. How old are you?"

Shen Yao: "Twenty-five."

Jiang Ming: "When did you come here from the Outer Heavens?"

Without hesitation, Shen Yao replied, "Eight years ago."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around to look at Jiang Ming, who stared at her in shock.

She knew that Jiang Ming knew; Jiang Ming was so smart, he must have already guessed it.

Jiang Ming did indeed find out.

Eight years ago, he only slaughtered one sect, the Spirit Herb Sect.

Jiang Ming recalled the scene from that night. There were only two survivors: Zong Changheng and a female disciple.

That female disciple, with her eighth-grade three-elemental root, instantly killed his follower, who had a sixth-grade five-elemental root, in one move.

Kill instantly with one move.

Wang Xu said that Shen Yao killed Xue Xiazi in one move, a kill that transcended her level.

Jiang Ming stared intently at Shen Yao.

The night she was taken away, the strange gestures she made to herself, the strange techniques she used...

It seems she possesses a technique that allows her to easily kill cultivators of higher levels.

And that night, she really wanted to kill him... if he hadn't dodged quickly...

Jiang Ming was now quite certain that she was Zong Changheng's female disciple.

And her face… he finally realized where he'd seen it before. Her face now bore a resemblance to Zong Changheng's daughter, Zhao Xuan…

This new body of hers... was probably made for her by Zong Changheng.
