Longchang Calendar Year 3583.

After returning from the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, Wang Shouzhe prepared to distribute the Immortal Scriptures he had acquired during the journey.

The first to be allocated was naturally the "Green Emperor Immortal Scripture."

This Immortal Scripture and Wang Shouzhe's own were of the same name, both derived from the Green Emperor Sacred Diagram.

The only difference was that this "Green Emperor Immortal Scripture" was merely a basic version and had not progressed far on the path of evolving into a Sacred Diagram.

In the evolution of Immortal Scriptures, even the same scripture will gradually differ due to the practitioner's cultivation and their understanding of the universal principles. If it eventually transforms into a Sacred Diagram, the Da Luo Holy Path contained within will also vary greatly.

Therefore, theoretically, there are no completely identical Immortal Scriptures or Sacred Diagrams in existence.

Back in the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, Wang Shouzhe had already decided to pass this scripture to his eldest grandson, Wang Shizhao. Upon returning, he discussed with a few core family members and quickly finalized the allocation.

In Shouzhe's Small Courtyard.

On the stone table in the pavilion, a teapot was bubbling with tea. The aroma wafted through the air, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere within the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

Beside the stone table.

Wang Shizhao sat at one end, engrossed in the Immortal Scripture he had just received, while Prince An, who had come to join the excitement, sat nearby. Wang Shouzhe sat at the other end, observing his eldest grandson.

Wang Shizhao was already over four hundred years old and had reached the early Divine Realm. For someone his age to have such cultivation was exceptional in the Shenwu World, comparable only to the princes and princesses of the Immortal and Demon Dynasties.

However, the Wang Clan had so many geniuses that Wang Shizhao's talents seemed unremarkable among them, but that didn't mean he wasn't outstanding.

Over the years, he had assisted Prince An in Guilong City, achieving remarkable accomplishments. The rapid development of the Great Qian over the past two centuries was largely due to his planning and operations. It could be said that the Great Qian soared under his and Prince An's leadership.

These experiences became his wealth, honing his abilities to an exceptional level.

In terms of personal ability, he might not have the extraordinary talent of Wang Fugui, but he was not to be underestimated.

In Wang Shouzhe's view, with Wang Shizhao's capabilities, he would easily qualify as the CEO of a multinational corporation on Earth.

Such a person was certainly deserving of an Immortal Scripture.

"Grandfather, rest assured," Wang Shizhao finally calmed down from the excitement of receiving the Immortal Scripture and solemnly promised Wang Shouzhe, "I will not let you down."

Even though he was now the chief minister of the Great Qian's cabinet and had long been accustomed to maintaining a calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel his heart racing with excitement at this moment.

An Immortal Scripture! This was the grand avenue to the True Immortal Realm. With it, the path to becoming a True Immortal was already halfway clear.

Beside him, Prince An watched with envy, jealousy, and a hint of resentment in his eyes.

His subordinate, Wang Shizhao, already had an Immortal Scripture, yet his own was still nowhere to be found, drifting who knows where~

Alas, there was probably no prince in the world with less prestige than him~

"Shizhao, let me touch your Immortal Scripture. I've never touched one before," Prince An moved closer, full of envy.

"Your Highness, Qing'er is still young and a bit shy," Wang Shizhao hurriedly hid the Green Emperor Immortal Scripture in his arms, looking at Prince An with the wary eyes one would use on a suspicious uncle next door, keeping him at a distance.

"..." Prince An gave him a sidelong glance, his self-esteem shattered.

At that moment, Prince An felt a strong sense of familial disparity.

Their Great Qian Wu Clan's ancestors had left behind only a single codex, for which they fought tooth and nail. But here in the Wang Clan, Immortal Scriptures were directly distributed.

To think that the Wang Clan was once just a small seventh-grade family... and in the blink of an eye, they had become the foremost noble family of the Shenwu human race, with Immortal Scriptures and artifacts emerging one after another.

Such is the unpredictability of life.

"Your Highness, I need to take some time off," Wang Shizhao remembered something after his vigilance and requested leave from Prince An, "I need to spend some time with Qing'er and then inherit the Immortal Scripture."

With that, he bid farewell to Wang Shouzhe and, ignoring Prince An's increasingly resentful gaze, left Shouzhe's Small Courtyard in high spirits to return to his own.

Prince An, however, did not follow suit but remained behind.

"Your Highness, is there something you need from me?" Wang Shouzhe smiled as he personally poured a cup of tea for Prince An.

He did miss Jiang Muxian a bit. Jiang Muxian had been quite a competent attendant, taking care of him in every way, making things worry-free and effortless. After returning, he found himself somewhat unaccustomed to the absence.

"Shouzhe," Prince An gulped down the Immortal Tea, "Do you remember when we first met, discussing how to build a nation and strengthen the Great Qian?"

"Of course, I remember," Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, "The Great Qian is now developing rapidly, ranking first among the seventeen empires of the Shenwu human race. It shows that Your Highness has indeed been focused on revitalizing the Great Qian all these years."

"But I don't have an Immortal Scripture," Prince An lamented, "Even Shizhao has the Green Emperor Immortal Scripture, while I'm still stuck with the Azure Dragon Codex. Shouzhe, could you help me find a way to buy an Immortal Scripture?"

"Even in the Holy Domain, Immortal Scriptures are rare and hard to come by," Wang Shouzhe explained, "Over the years, I've only seen one Immortal Scripture at the Divine Treasure Hall auction. And the price of an Immortal Scripture isn't low~~ starting at one Chaos Spirit Stone."

Chaos Spirit Stone.

Though Wang Shouzhe had made a fortune in Chaos Spirit Stones in the Holy Domain through grain price fluctuations, it had taken over a decade of planning and financial maneuvering.

Even a big shot like Yunpeng Holy Sovereign, excluding the 'public funds' of the sacred island, probably couldn't come up with more than ten Chaos Spirit Stones personally. This was after a long life of frugality, saving up over tens of thousands of years.

"Rare and hard to come by is fine; I have time to wait," Prince An's eyes lit up, "As for money, I can save up slowly. I just hope Shouzhe can keep an eye out for me and bid if there's a chance."

The Great Qian was developing at an extremely rapid pace, with annual national taxes approaching two hundred billion Qian gold, equivalent to two Immortal Spirit Stones. However, national tax revenue was used for the people, requiring continuous investment in development.

Of course, as a prince, Prince An was supported by the state, and with the Great Qian's treasury being well-funded, he received a substantial annual stipend, allowing him to save up over a century or two for dozens of Immortal Spirit Stones.

Additionally, the Great Qian royal family and government held a small share in the Holy Domain Development Corporation, accumulating quite a few Immortal Spirit Stones over the years through dividends, with more income to come in the future.

However, the Great Qian currently imposed low tax rates on various emerging and pillar industries, especially in the Wang Clan's alchemy, grain seed sales, and other industries, with low tax rates and various preferential policies.

Even so, half of the two hundred billion in taxes might be related to the Wang Clan.

Prince An dared not impose heavy taxes on the Wang Clan's industries, fearing that if he angered them, they might declare independence, leaving the Great Qian with no taxes at all.

As long as the Wang Clan remained within the Great Qian, it was like lifting the Great Qian to new heights.

The current situation was that the Wang Clan could do without the Great Qian, but the Great Qian couldn't do without the Wang Clan.

"Very well," Wang Shouzhe nodded, "I'll write a letter, and if there's a suitable Immortal Scripture, we'll strive for it."

"Haha, I knew Shouzhe wouldn't let me down," Prince An was overjoyed, but then he became worried, "However, if the money falls short, I'll have to borrow a bit from you, Shouzhe."

He could go to the Holy Domain, but as a small cultivator who had just entered the mid-Divine Realm, he wouldn't even count as a fart there. Even if he carried spirit stones to buy an Immortal Scripture, it was unlikely, and he might get robbed. Moreover, even if he wanted to go, the Ancestral House probably wouldn't allow it.

But as long as Shouzhe was willing to help, he had no worries.

He was still far from the Void Realm, with plenty of time to wait and save money.

Wang Shouzhe naturally agreed to Prince An's request.

After sending Prince An off.

Wang Shouzhe gathered the family elders for a meeting to allocate the other two Immortal Scriptures.

The "Haotian Immortal Scripture," after deliberation by the family elders, was finally decided to be given to Ancestor Wang Xiaohan.

Wang Xiaohan was the oldest ancestor in the family, aside from Ancestor Long Yan, and had made indelible contributions to the family. At the same time, he was the only surviving member of the "Xiao" generation, and no one objected to giving him this scripture.

With the ownership of the Haotian Immortal Scripture decided, only the "Xuan Yuan Immortal Scripture" remained.

This scripture was balanced and harmonious, compatible with almost all attributes and bloodlines. It could be considered the "ancestor" of the Xuan Yuan Codex and Xuan Yuan Art. Although its power was unremarkable, 99% of the family members had a high degree of compatibility with it, theoretically allowing anyone to inherit it.

After considering family hierarchy, contributions, bloodline aptitude, and other factors, the candidates were narrowed down to Wang Shouyong, Wang Shoulian, Wang Luotong, Wang Luo Qiu, Wang Luojing, and Wang Zongchang.

Wang Shouzhe gathered them for a discussion.

Wang Luojing was the first to decline. Her Blood Gu Codex was of high quality, and someone had successfully advanced to True Immortal with it. As long as her bloodline aptitude was high enough, she had a good chance of breaking through to True Immortal on her own and possibly evolving the Blood Gu Codex into a Blood Gu Immortal Scripture.

Of course, there was another important reason. The origin of the Blood Venerable's techniques and inspiration could be traced back to a hidden relic in the Domain of Destruction. Wang Luojing had already applied for family support to explore the hidden relic, which might yield significant results.

Wang Luo Qiu also declined the Xuan Yuan Immortal Scripture.

She practiced a Buddhist battle body technique—the Ming Wang Glazed Golden Body Codex. After hearing about the numerous Buddha Kingdoms in the Western Ruoshin Continent of the Holy Domain, she decided to venture there.

However, this venture wasn't aimless. When she inherited the codex from the relic, she had obtained some information about its origins.

But Wang Shouzhe temporarily put her decision on hold. Firstly, venturing into the Western Ruoshin Continent was too dangerous, and secondly, he wanted her to graduate from the Advanced Military Academy and gain more experience before considering it.

Even if she were to venture, she needed more trump cards.

Next, Wang Zongchang also declined.

Firstly, he was of a younger generation, and secondly, he felt the Xuan Yuan Immortal Scripture was too balanced and harmonious, not suitable for exploiting the characteristics of his Xunfeng bloodline.

Even if he couldn't find an Xunfeng-type Immortal Scripture in the future, he was determined to forge his own Xunfeng path, perhaps creating a family-heritage Xunfeng Immortal Scripture.

Subsequently, Wang Luotong also declined. She preferred combat techniques that matched her fire-element bloodline. Anyway, she was still young and not in a hurry; perhaps the Advanced Military Academy would have a suitable graduation Immortal Scripture for her.

Finally, Wang Shoulian also declined, giving the priority to Shouyong.

Shouyong and Shoulian were nearly identical in age, achievements, and potential, but Shouyong was ultimately a year older.

Wang Shouyong wanted to pass the opportunity to Wang Shoulian, but the family elders unanimously decided that Wang Shouyong should inherit the Xuan Yuan Immortal Scripture.

In terms of character and family positioning, he was the backbone and preserver of the family, making it only natural for him to inherit this scripture.

With that, the three Immortal Scriptures were thoroughly allocated, and the remaining codices and Dao artifacts were placed in the Wang Clan's treasury for members to acquire based on contribution points.

Thus, the legacy of the Shenwu ancestors was completely dealt with.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to set aside his affairs and take a well-deserved rest, the Reincarnation Tree and Baosheng approached him.

They came regarding the "Advanced Military Academy."

Wang Shouzhe had always been somewhat troubled by the Advanced Military Academy.

He had previously inquired with the Spirit Artifact of the "Intermediate Military Academy," but only learned that the "Advanced Military Academy" was located in a Small World personally developed by the Holy Emperor, named "Academy Small World." However, its exact location remained a mystery.

"Master Shouzhe," the Reincarnation Tree, now in the form of an elderly man, sat across from Wang Shouzhe, sighing as he recounted past events, "In my memory, the Academy Small World was developed bit by bit by the Holy Emperor and me. It is attached to a meteor orbiting the Shenwu World. However, when the World-Ending Pearl exploded, the impact was so great that it not only altered the geography of the Shenwu World but also affected the Nine Heavens Void."

A meteor orbiting the Shenwu World?

Isn't that a satellite?

Wang Shouzhe immediately thought of Earth's moon.

However, this meteor should be relatively small and inconspicuous; otherwise, it would have a specific name.

"Ancestor Grandfather, although my memory fragments are chaotic, I vaguely remember the appearance of the Nine Heavens Meteor," Wang Baosheng volunteered, "Why not let me lead the exploration of the Nine Heavens Meteor?"

Wang Shouzhe pondered for a moment and said, "I'll grant you access to family resources. Additionally, Senior Reincarnation needs to recuperate in Stay Immortal Valley and can't accompany you. I'll ask Senior Di Xiu to protect you. It's okay if you can't find it immediately; take your time. Especially when facing danger, don't act recklessly. Remember, you are the direct line of the family, and we elders are behind you. You're not fighting alone."

The Reincarnation Tree was no longer in mortal danger, but its injuries were still severe, and its recently restored essence was fragile, requiring slow recuperation, making it unsuitable for travel.

"Baosheng accepts the mission. Ancestor Grandfather, rest assured, I will act with caution," Wang Baosheng was a bit excited.

Such an important task entrusted to him by Ancestor Grandfather was undoubtedly a recognition of his abilities.

Although he had accomplished many things in the past, no other achievement compared to this acknowledgment from Ancestor Grandfather.

He resolved to complete this mission beautifully.

"Senior Reincarnation," Wang Shouzhe turned to the Reincarnation Tree, "Since you've become Baosheng's life-bound sacred plant, you are now considered a sacred plant of the Wang Clan. According to our tradition, we need to give you a new name and formally record it in the family genealogy. After some discussion among the family elders, we've decided to let you choose a name from 'Zhou,' 'Yu,' 'Chen,' or 'Qiong.'"

These four names corresponded to the first, second, third, and fourth generations in the Changning Wang Clan's genealogy. Among these generations, only Ancestor Long Yan from the third generation remained, with no male descendants left.

No matter which name the Reincarnation Tree chose, it wouldn't have much impact, as it would be an ancestor to the younger generation.

"I heard that the highest-ranking member in the family is Ancestor Long Yan, and the 'Long' generation is the same as the 'Chen' generation, so I'll choose the 'Chen' generation," the Reincarnation Tree decided after a brief thought, "Wang Chenlun, it sounds quite nice."

"Alright, then Wang Chenlun it is," Wang Shouzhe smiled, "Next, the family elders will arrange an induction ceremony for you, and your name will be inscribed in the genealogy."

"Great, from today on, I'll be called Wang Chenlun," Wang Chenlun stroked his beard with a hint of excitement, feeling a newfound closeness to the Wang Clan, as if he had begun to integrate into this big family.

Wang Baosheng watched this scene with a touch of speechlessness.

Everyone else's life-bound spirit plants were like sons or daughters, but his life-bound sacred plant had suddenly become an ancestor.

However, it wasn't a matter of great importance.

After a brief internal struggle, he put the matter aside and began coordinating with Ouyang Nanyan on the work of the Cultural and Entertainment Department, while also preparing for the upcoming "Nine Heavens Meteor Exploration Mission."

Once the induction ceremony for Ancestor Chenlun was complete, his preparations were also finished, and Di Xiu Immortal Monarch, summoned by Wang Shouzhe, arrived at the Wang Clan. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

With everything ready, Wang Baosheng led his team aboard a small Domain-Crossing Flying Boat, heading into the void to begin his exploration journey.

Meanwhile, Immortal Emperor Mu Yun of the Immortal Dynasty seemed to be actively organizing a void exploration mission as well. She gathered a group of Yun Clan members and ancestors from first-grade families of the Immortal Dynasty, boarding the mobile palace "Moonlight Palace," temporarily leaving the Immortal Dynasty to trace the footsteps of their predecessors in the void.

The disappearance of the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss and the return of the Reincarnation Tree seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into the Shenwu World, providing many with direction and motivation for their endeavors.

Plans were unfolding one by one, and everyone was striving toward their goals. Unbeknownst to them, the entire Shenwu World was flourishing.

For now, let's set aside these matters.

******

At the same time.

Holy Domain.

Dongxia Divine Continent—Central Lands.

"Central Lands" was a colloquial term for the central region of the Dongxia Divine Continent, with somewhat vague boundaries, serving as a general reference.

The Central Lands of the Divine Continent was a vast and expansive land of Immortal Spirits, teeming with powerful individuals and countless ancient sects and families.

The economic and political center of the entire Dongxia Divine Continent—the divine capital "Luojing"—was located in the heart of the Central Lands.

Luojing, known as the "Divine Capital," was not a name given lightly.

It was the largest city in the entire Dongxia Divine Continent. No, rather than calling it a city, it was more like a "region."

In this vast region, whether it was the rushing rivers or the continuous mountain ranges, they were all just parts of it. From a flying carriage high in the sky, one couldn't even see its end. Only by riding a cloud boat into the void could one observe the boundaries of the divine capital from an extremely high altitude.

Luojing not only had a long history but was also a place where civilizations converged.

Here, one could find the most splendid culture, the most bustling streets, and the most inclusive attitude, welcoming different cultures from various divine continents and even different civilizations and races.

In Luojing, you could see clothing, accessories, and books from different civilizations, and taste delicacies from different divine continents and even different civilizations and races. It truly was a place where all rivers converged and a hundred flowers bloomed.

Many years ago, a human powerhouse who visited Luojing for the first time was moved to say a widely circulated phrase—"Until you visit Luojing, you don't know the vastness of the universe, the brilliance of civilization, and the prosperity of a flourishing era."

This phrase became a common saying among many who visited Luojing for the first time.

As a result, Luojing became a pilgrimage site in the hearts of many outside the Central Lands, a place they dreamed of visiting once in their lifetime to fulfill their dreams.

Luojing, Eastern District.

"Yingxian Tower."

As one of the high-end restaurants in Luojing, Yingxian Tower not only boasted an impressive architectural style but also featured lavish gold and silver decorations, exuding grandeur and opulence. The square at the entrance, designated for flying carriages and cloud boats, was adorned with a massive archway, majestic and imposing.

The entire restaurant was equipped with a large floating array, allowing it to hover high above, showcasing its high-end atmosphere.

It was noon, and Yingxian Tower was experiencing its peak customer flow of the day. The entrance was bustling with people, with luxurious flying carriages pulled by various exotic beasts coming and going.

A colorful phoenix flying palace had just landed, note, not a phoenix with seven colors, but seven different-colored eleventh-order phoenixes. Suddenly, a Nine Dragons Flying Palace appeared on the horizon.

In front of the Nine Dragons Flying Palace, nine eleventh-order true dragons with attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and darkness formed an orderly queue. Even the chains entwining the true dragons were made of top-grade materials, exuding majesty and nobility.

But that wasn't the most extravagant sight. A mere ten-year-old child rode a thirteenth-order true dragon into the restaurant.

As soon as he reached the entrance, the manager personally welcomed him into the VIP room, affectionately calling him "Young Master Ying."

By the window in the restaurant.

Wang Lici, Lan Wan'er, Sima Wuchou, and the Demonic Realm Burrowing Rat, a group of "country bumpkins," watched in awe.

Goodness, this restaurant was truly filled with distinguished guests~

And each one seemed more ostentatious than the last.

Those below the True Immortal Realm, unless they had special status or were invited by a True Immortal, had no right to enter this restaurant.

No wonder.

The restaurant was named "Yingxian Tower," not just for auspiciousness but to truly welcome "Immortals."

"Lici, have you seen what true grandeur looks like?" The low-key Yunhai Holy Sovereign stroked his beard and smiled at Wang Lici, "This divine capital Luojing gathers heroes from all over, attracting talents from across the world. Only when you reach the True Immortal Realm can you be considered a figure, and at the Da Luo Realm, you barely qualify as a noble."

Of course, the Void Realm wasn't worthless either; it held some status in Luojing, but the prestige of Yingxian Tower was indeed high.

As they spoke.

The restaurant's attendants began serving dishes.

The first dish was a large plate of eleventh-order "Stir-Fried Luan Tongue." Luan birds were known for their melodious calls, and their tongues were tender and springy. Sliced and stir-fried with Immortal Spirit Peppers, they were a signature dish of Yingxian Tower, known for their delightful texture.

Of course, an eleventh-order Luan tongue was large, and the harvested ingredients could make many plates.

"Delicious, delicious~~!" Wang Lici exclaimed after just one bite, unable to resist taking several more bites in quick succession. Her eyes lit up with delight as she called out, "Where's the rice? Where's the egg fried rice I ordered?"

Upon hearing this, another attendant hurriedly brought over a plate of egg fried rice. The rice used was the legendary eighth-grade spirit rice—"Yu Qing Sacred Rice," and the eggs were from eleventh-order phoenixes. The egg yolk coated the rice, making it a true golden fried rice.

But this seemingly ordinary "egg fried rice" was truly priced at a premium, with each bowl costing three top-grade spirit stones.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, everyone ate with relish, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Only Yunhai Holy Sovereign showed a hint of heartache.

Fortunately, he had made a substantial profit at the Primordial Dao Palace, enough to sustain this extravagant dining style.

However, Lici was quite the eater. Sima Wuyou, as a True Immortal Seed in the Void Realm, was full after one bowl of egg fried rice made from eighth-grade spirit rice, and Lan Wan'er, with her devouring bloodline, was satisfied with just three bowls.

But Wang Lici had already eaten over a dozen bowls and showed no signs of stopping.

"Lici, just taste it; try something else," Yunhai Holy Sovereign wiped cold sweat from his brow, "Bringing you to Yingxian Tower is for the experience, not to fill your stomach."

If she continued eating like this, today's meal would far exceed the cost of one Immortal Spirit Stone. If she ate like this every day, within two years, he'd have to start selling off assets to make ends meet.

Only then did Lici put down her chopsticks, licking her lips as she said, "Master, I'm almost full."

This sight made Yunpeng Holy Sovereign feel a bit guilty. Alas, he was too poor, unable to let his disciple eat to her heart's content even at a meal.

"Master," Wang Lici suddenly noticed the attendants serving the dishes and curiously asked, "Why do these attendants have wings? The men are quite handsome, and the women are beautiful, but their eye colors are so colorful and unique."

"You mean them?" Yunpeng Holy Sovereign glanced in the direction she indicated and then understood, "They are a refugee race—the 'Winged People.'"

He explained, "In the ancient era of a hundred races, the Winged People were also a dominant race. But now they've declined and can only settle in small numbers in various places. Without their own country and with limited resources, they have to work to support themselves and cultivate. However, because they generally have exquisite appearances, with handsome men and beautiful women, they are often kept as family servants by major families."

"If they were once powerful, why did they decline?" Wang Lici was puzzled, "I see many of them are at the Purple Mansion Realm, and some are even at the Divine Realm level."

"What do you think?" Yunpeng Holy Sovereign looked at her with a teasing smile.

"Could it be that our human race did it?" Wang Lici's eyes widened in shock."The resources are limited, especially natural resources, which will only become scarcer," Yunpeng Holy Sovereign said with a calm expression. "If you take an extra bite, I get one less. For all races to survive, competition is inevitable. The struggle for survival and racial conflicts have always been the most brutal. Once you fail, you will be completely doomed, with no chance of recovery for eternity."

"Our human race can have such a stable life now and such a vast territory, all thanks to our ancestors who fought desperately for it. If they had lost back then, our situation wouldn't be much better than these Winged People. You young ones must remember this, and don't become arrogant and complacent with a little achievement."

"We will heed the Holy Sovereign's teachings," Sima Wuchou said with a look of having learned something, and even the two maids, Baozi and Jiaozi, nodded solemnly.

However, Wang Lici and Lan Wan'er just nodded in realization, without much reaction.

Compared to Sima Wuchou and the others who had never experienced the hardships of war, they had been on the battlefield themselves, fighting against the Demon Race, and had long understood the brutality of racial conflicts, which made them much calmer than the older Sima Wuchou and his peers.

"Wow~ that Winged People beauty is about to perform on stage," Wang Lici suddenly looked towards the stage not far away and said with surprise, "Her hair is golden, huh? Isn't she wearing high heels and stockings? Although the material is different, the style and effect are generally the same."

At this point, Wang Lici couldn't help but fall into thought.

This Winged People beauty seemed to fit her Fourth Uncle's taste very well—fair-skinned, beautiful, with twin ponytails, and those long legs...

When Xiaoxue first arrived in the clan and constructed a human form with Fourth Brother's help, everyone suspected that Xiaoxue's image was based on Fourth Uncle's first love. After all, the appearance was so different from what everyone knew that it was unimaginable without seeing it firsthand.

But after searching everywhere, no woman with such an appearance was found, and the matter was left unresolved.

Over time, the origin of Xiaoxue's image became one of the "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries" of the Wang's Clan.

But now, it seemed the mystery was unraveling.

Wang Lici silently nodded, increasingly convinced that her line of thinking was correct.

Fourth Uncle must have visited [Divine Capital Luojing] in his past life, or perhaps he lived here. Due to some reason, he was reincarnated into the Changning Wang's Clan under the influence of the River of Reincarnation. That's why fragments of his memory contained things like stockings and high heels.

And in those memory fragments, there must be his persistent aesthetic preferences.

Looking at the Winged People beauty performing on stage, Wang Lici couldn't help but murmur softly, "Even the River of Reincarnation couldn't wash away Fourth Uncle's obsession; he must really like this type. How about buying her back as a maid for Fourth Uncle?"

Without much thought, her mind automatically filled in Fourth Uncle's reaction.

Fourth Uncle would definitely say, "Big Girl, how can you slander my innocence out of thin air?" Then, while saying no, no, he would happily accept her~~
