Chapter 3 Seems Familiar

Weiyang City, at the entrance of the expressway.

A red sports car zoomed like a phantom, thundering down the road. It braked suddenly, with its tires screeching against the pavement, stopping three meters away from Su Hang.

The car door opened, and a long-legged woman in her twenties stepped out. Her black, slightly curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding natural elegance and sweet allure.

"Su Hang, you're heading back to Mei County, right? Hurry up and get in!" The long-legged woman's smile was warm and friendly, like the girl next door.

"This must be a girl from my hometown, what's her name again?" Su Hang wondered as he got into the car.

The driver was a lean man. Besides the long-legged woman, there was another exquisitely beautiful woman in the back seat, it was the superstar, Tang Lifen.

"It seems I've seen you somewhere before?" Tang Lifen's voice was crisp and vibrant; he had never heard such a clear voice.

Today, his and Liu Qing's news was everywhere; it would be strange if she hadn't seen it. He absolutely could not let her remember that bit.

Su Hang hurriedly said, "In the ancient times, due to a natural disaster, we were stranded on a small island in the South Sea. We supported each other there, had children, and established a tribe—that was our first life; the second life..."

"Stop!" Tang Lifen's face fell, having birthed a whole tribe, as if she were a pig, "You're the fool who got into Huaxia University but ran off to the Martial Arts Institute instead. You truly excel at being foolish."

"Su Hang, don't look at me, I didn't say that," the long-legged woman said with a slightly unnatural expression.

"The Roc soars with the wind in one day, rising directly for ninety thousand miles," Su Hang looked at Tang Lifen with a gentle sigh, "When the wind comes, how many in the world can seize it. Those commoners do not understand my choices; how can you not understand."

"This guy really knows how to put on airs!" the driver suddenly turned his head and blurted this out.

Tang Lifen and the long-legged woman started laughing uncontrollably, their voices like a feather, lightly tickling the heart.

"See, here's yet another commoner," Su Hang said, pointing to the driver.

"Looking through the past and present, martial artists usually end up with one of three fates. The first is dying during training; the second is being beaten to death; the third is committing violence with martial skills and ending up in prison," the long-legged woman said, losing her smile, "Su Hang, while you're still young, consider retaking your exams and going to college."

Su Hang shook his head. Earth had already entered an era of cataclysmic changes with flora and fauna mutating, the revival of Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, and mountains and rivers increasing and expanding. The landscape and environment were becoming increasingly complex.

Ordinary people venturing into the wilds usually meant a one-way trip.

Besides, Demon Cultivators from foreign lands lurked all over the country, occasionally emerging to slaughter villages and cause chaos in Huaxia.

Without considerable strength, one would be eliminated by this cruel era.

Just like the scenes he saw through the prophecy, over eight hundred thousand people in Mei County just died like that—who knows how many more tragedies will occur in the future.

Thus, only by becoming strong could he prevent all tragedies and stand proud in this era.

"Su Hang, no matter how strong a martial artist is, they ultimately can't block a nuclear bomb," the long-legged woman had always thought that Su Hang was destroying his future.

Many people think this way now, but that's because they haven't seen those who are not afraid of nuclear bombs.

Since the arrival of the Demon Cultivators, Su Hang believed there must be such existences, they just hadn't appeared yet.

He didn't want to argue about this topic and asked, "By the way, who are you? I've thought for so long, but I can't remember."

The long-legged woman's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in a flash.

"Congratulations, you've just achieved a Spiritual Critical Hit, Violence Value +1!" A crisp voice suddenly echoed through Su Hang's mind.

This works too!

Delighted, Su Hang pressed on, "Who are you, really?"

The long-legged woman scowled and turned her head away.

"Violence Value +1!"

"Her name is Li Qingdai, my assistant, your fiancée," Tang Lifen said.

"Bullshit, I don't have a fiancée." Su Hang inhaled the delightful fragrance and suddenly slapped his thigh, "I remember now—you're that girl who ran to my doorstep one night, shouting, 'Su Hang, I want to marry you'."

"I was drunk at the time!" Li Qingdai was both embarrassed and annoyed, that was the most terrifying part of her dark history.

"Violence Value +1!"

"That night, you kicked my front door open with one kick, and with a roar like a tiger..."

"Violence Value +1, total Violence Value is 4!"

Li Qingdai, like an enraged lioness, yelled, "If you don't shut your mouth, I will throw you out of the car."

"So, it turns out there's such a colorful and undeniable past between you two, no wonder Qingdai..." Tang Lifen said with a mischievous smile.

Li Qingdai immediately pounced to cover Tang Lifen's mouth.

Su Hang watched the two women communicate with their eyes, apparently making some sort of deal, then closed his eyes to rest, and unwittingly fell asleep, dreaming that his grandparents and parents were hit by a Life-Devouring Talisman.

"No..." Su Hang woke up with a start, gasping for air.

It was already dark outside; the car had entered the town of Kun County.

Tang Lifen planned to rest there for the night and head to Mei County first thing in the morning.

Since Kun County was only about forty minutes away from Mei County, Su Hang decided to go back with them to Mei County in the morning.

He shared a room with the driver, while Tang Lifen and Li Qingdai stayed across from them.

Su Hang had no appetite for food and lay on his bed once he entered his room.

"Now I have four Points of Violence Value, let's continue with the lottery!" Su Hang targeted the Divine-Searching Talisman.

"Let's spin!" Su Hang lifted his hand and hit the lottery wheel in his palm.

"Congratulations, you've won a pack of sanitary pads!"

"Damn, I'm not a woman, why do I keep getting this stuff."

Su Hang continued with the lottery, got 'thank you for participating' twice, and the last spin won him a durian, its strong stench hitting him in the face like the smell of socks that hadn't been washed in several days.

"Can't I get something normal for once?" Su Hang sighed in frustration, now out of Violence Value again, and he went looking for that driver brother.

He tried his best to convince him, hoping to earn some Violence Value by sparring with the driver.

But the driver was single-minded; after half a day's spittle, he always came back with one phrase—I don't want to find abuse.

"Or, how about provoking Li Qingdai? She provided me with four Points of Violence Value today." Su Hang was determined to get Violence Value.

"Ding Dong, you have once again delivered a Spiritual Critical Hit to Zhao Wenshan, Violence Value +1!"

"This Zhao Wenshan is really amazing." Su Hang resumed the lottery.

"Divine-Searching Talisman, Divine-Searching Talisman, come on, I need one..." Su Hang stared at the lottery wheel, shouting in his heart.

"Is this... I hit it, so awesome!" Su Hang was so excited he almost jumped.

The Divine-Searching Talisman was used to search for the True Spirit of gods and buddhas!

It radiated a mysterious wave, like a radio signal, spreading out in all directions to the west.

"Target locked on Tang Lifen, a Huaxia celebrity, reincarnation of a widely-known and household god or buddha!" A seductive voice echoed in Su Hang's ear, "Simply use the Revival Talisman on the target person, and they will begin to recover memories, Cultivation Level, and so on."

"Tang Lifen? She's actually a reincarnation of a god or buddha." Su Hang hadn't expected to find someone close by, "But which friend is she the reincarnation of?"

"Tang Lifen's a woman; it's very likely that she was also a woman in her previous life," Su Hang analyzed carefully, "So, which well-known female friend might she be?"

"Zixia, Empress Nuwa, the Heavenly Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Chang'er Fairy..." Su Hang couldn't be bothered to guess anymore, "When she awakens, I'll know the answer."

By then, he would have a female immortal to help him, taking on an Earthly True Man would be as easy as blowing off dust.

Su Hang felt this matter had to be done stealthily, otherwise, he would certainly be taken for a madman who had escaped from a mental asylum.

He quietly entered the room across the hall, and just as he closed the door, a shadow by the water cooler spoke, "Who's there?"

Su Hang was startled, but he reacted very quickly, covering the ten-plus steps in an instant, with his palm chopping at the woman's neck.

The woman slumped to the ground—it was Li Qingdai.

"Violence Value +1!"

"Earning Violence Value is really not easy," Su Hang thought, feeling like he was working hard for money.

He placed Li Qingdai on the sofa, composed himself, and quietly opened Tang Lifen's door.

"You've walked into the wrong room, your fiancée is in the room across," Tang Lifen wasn't asleep; she sat in her pajamas, drinking by the window in the moonlight.

The moonlight draped over her, making her look as beautiful as a painting.

"Nonsense fiancée, I'm here for you. You were fated for short-lived beauties, but meeting me is the greatest fortune of your life. In countless nights to come, you'll thank me from the bottom of your heart," Su Hang walked a few steps forward.

Perhaps due to drinking, Tang Lifen's cheeks were flushed, only enhancing her beauty.

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Lifen got up and walked toward him, her gaze hazy, her smile blooming like a flower, truly deserving the title of "National Sweetheart."

"Actually, you're the reincarnation of a god or buddha. I'm here to help you..."

Before Su Hang could finish, he received a devastating kick, he was pushed down onto the bed, and his hands were locked behind his back.

"You, woman, you're really..." Su Hang endured the pain, his right leg kicking backwards, hitting an acupoint on Tang Lifen's leg, and she crumpled to one side.

"What are you trying to do, don't mess around, okay?" Tang Lifen's eyes showed panic.

"You're thinking too much, I have no interest in you at all." Su Hang took out the Revival Talisman, a Taoist Divine Talisman, looking very much like the Corpse Suppression Talisman in zombie movies.

"Violence Value +1, +1..."

In these circumstances, indicating he had no interest in her should have made Tang Lifen happy, right?

Why still suffer a Spiritual Critical Hit? The thoughts of women are truly miraculous.

Turning his eyes, Su Hang said, "Your acting skills are good, and you play various roles wonderfully, but your figure, quite frankly, can't be complimented. I remember on the internet many people call you 'Tang Pingchuan' and 'Princess Taiping,' so you needn't worry I would do anything to you."

"Violence Value +1, +1..."

Tang Lifen clenched her teeth, her chest heaving, her eyes nearly shooting flames.

Laughing inwardly, Su Hang found earning Violence Value was too easy as he placed the Revival Talisman on Tang Lifen's forehead.

"You're both cheap and blind, a complete idiot—get the hell out of here, now!" Tang Lifen was furious, she tried to grab the Revival Talisman on her forehead, but grasped at nothing.

The Revival Talisman merged into her forehead, and she began to float involuntarily, all of her pores emitting bright lights with a "whoosh" sound.
