"My name is Qi Mei. When I was reborn, the clouds shook with thunder and lightning; the earth shook with fountains and geysers, and the humans cheered. The heaven and the earth are welcoming me into this world.
"My sister's name in my past life was Qi Hui, second-generation student of Azure Mountain. My brother-in-law's name in my past life was Shang Ruoyu, second generation student of Azure Mountain. My brother-in-law's elder brother is Shang Qingshan, founder of Azure Mountain. My mother in this life is the Guardian Goddess of the Mountain, descendant from the Upper Realm. A beauty of her generation. My father in this life is a strategist of his generation, who according to my master had the theorizing and strategizing intelligence of 99 points and an IQ of 400.
"Thus, I know that when I am born again, I will be destined to be higher than the mortal humans. This is because I will inherit the mantle of Guardian Goddess of the Mountain, with a double-S level of cultivation power, utter beauty and also the average IQ of 251, calculated using that of my parents.
"And so in this life, Shang Ruoyu will be mine."
Qi Mei's spirit ball held many outside thoughts in her mind as she was gingerly tossed into Tian Zhu's tummy.
At that moment, Tian Zhu's eyes were shut as she was confined in the Three Greats - Heaven, Earth and Human Formation. Around her, the clouds shook with thunder and lightning; the earth shook with fountains and geysers; and the humans cheered.
She had to use her magical power to protect her baby to prevent it from being harmed by the noise and thus become deformed.
In the Formation, the Human Formation was confining her baby to prevent her from using her spiritual power to wipe away Qi Mei's memories.
"Hou Feicheng, one of the four great second-generation students of Azure Mountain. How dare you do such a dishonorable thing? Aren't you afraid that I would remove the protection and make the baby deformed?" scolded Tian Zhu without opening her eyes.
A panicked look flashed across Qi Hui's face, but was motioned not to worry by her husband.
Hou Feicheng was a middle-aged man around his forties: slightly ugly had, single-eyelids, with a low nose and a scar across his chin. His face looked like a pre-evolved ape.
He laughed at this."Guardian Goddess of the mountain, why? You would have to leave after you give birth to it, not coming back again. Why should you care about it? As for you removing the protection, you are what's left of the Celestial Swine clan. They have gone extinct in the Upper Realm, according to my Master himself. This baby of yours did not come easily. Even Master back then was surprised by this. This man 10 years ago must have been very potent to make a Celestial Swine like you pregnant..."
"Shameless!" Tian Zhu said, her eyes wide and angry.
Shang Ruoyu coughed once, reaching out a hand to stop him."Brother Hou, watch your words."
"Okay, okay. I won't say anything, " Hou Feicheng stopped talking and concentrated on the Three Greats Formation.
...
At the Headquarters of the Truth Department in China, Ren Ruofeng was holding a meeting. Suddenly, he stopped, and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, we shall end the meeting here. Luckily we had the Venerable Dragon God to assist us before, and prevent the bordering areas from becoming unsafe. Everyone should cultivate well. I've heard that those Russians have been thinking over their mistakes and are planning something big. Our spies outside the country are looking closely into it. I shall hand over this job to Leader Hong to watch over."
Hong Yunjiao was about to nod when she suddenly wrinkled her brow."Leader, the report about the Spiritually-controlled Mech Tournament is not finished. There is a large influx of Draconian prisoners in the Cultivator-for-hire market. The other cultivators all need to cultivate and have no time for spiritually-controlled prizefighting. Yet, they seemed to be online for 24 hours every day. In the long run, this might cause a monopoly."
Ren Ruofeng said impatiently, "Leader Hong, let's put this aside for now. Nothing concerning the Venerable Dragon God is unimportant, but this has to wait until I speak to him personally. Alright, you are all dismissed. You can go watch the Russia situation, and if the Snares Below system cannot be spread there, then use the Nets Above system to watch them."
It was the first time anyone had seen their leader so impatient, and they were all surprised.
Hong Yunjiao glared at him, but did not retort. She nodded.
Those present left immediately. Hong Yunjiao looked very furious. Without a word, she walked out and did not look back.
Ren Ruofeng let out a breath of relief, then waved his hand. A white jade pig appeared in his hand, and he immediately asked, "Stupid pig, why are you jumping up and down in my abdomen? I almost went into deviatory psychosis."
The white jade pig turned a deep red, speaking quickly, "Rubbish. I can sense my wife's presence. Go open this message now; it has been encrypted and only your soul aura can open it."
Ren Ruofeng released a breath of spirit, and the red color on the pig's body took the form of a breathtaking beauty, Tian Zhu.
As soon as he saw it, he immediately looked around cautiously. Only when he was assured of no one's presence did he exhale and ask, "Zhu-zhu, h...how did you find me?"
"My dear Ren, I didn't want to disturb you when you are dealing with official work, b...but our baby..." Tian Zhu lowered her head as though about to cry.
Ren Ruofeng was surprised by this. What, they had a child already?
He used his soul to send a voice message, "Stupid pig, your Spirit-sensing spell really did make her pregnant?"
The white jade pig rolled its eyes."What's so surprised about it? I told you last time she may get pregnant, and you talked about the great god?Fuxi?1?. That's because when I was created, there was a male and a female. Our ancestors in the Celestial Swine clan, in order to prevent us from being wiped out due to a large-scale disaster, had spent a lot of godly power to make them. As long as there's a female or a male member of the clan left, he or she can have a child every ten years and thus slowly restore the clan."
Ren Ruofeng was even more surprised by this."You mean that a?boar?2?can be impregnated too?"
The white jade pig rolled its eyes again."If it's a boar, then my wife will cast a Great Reversal of Heaven and Earth and turn it into a sow..."
Ren Ruofeng was impressed."Well, it's something I've lived long enough to see. Your ancestors are truly wise and smart, with amazing foresight. Our sex-reversal surgeries here are so much more inferior..."
Tian Zhu was confused. She was about to cry. Why was her Ren was still frozen like an idiot? Was he so happy that he had become mad?
Fortunately, Ren Ruofeng was a man with 400 IQ, not to mention theorizing and strategizing intelligence of 99 points. He came back immediately and asked her, " Zhu, you should calm down. What's happening with our child?"
Ren Ruofeng was 74, and due to several circumstances, had not had a child yet. He may be surprised, but he was also pleased.
"You know Qi Mei of Azure Mountain?"
How wise was Ren Ruofeng? As soon as she mentioned her, he had immediately made the connection and guessed what was happening."You are saying, Gu Buwei has taken her soul back to Azure Mountain and someone wants her to take over our child?"
Tian Zhu was pleased."Your intelligence is truly unparalleled, my dear Ren. It is so, and now I am trapped by Gu Buwei's mistress and master, as well as her uncle in the Three Greats Formation and now cannot move an inch. Qi Mei has already entered or child's body and in another 49 days, she will be born. I wanted them to wipe away her memories before letting her be reincarnated, but they obviously did not do so."
"How dare they?!" Ren Ruofeng said angrily and anxiously. The heavens had finally given him a child, and so what if it was a piglet? That is a Celestial Swine, and how could anyone try to take over it?
Reincarnation and taking over were different. Xu Shilin was the reincarnation of the?Wenqu Star?3?, and the star did not bring any memories with it, but only his writing talent, intelligence and fortune. His memories and consciousness were slowly developed by his parents in that life, which is why he would call Xu Xian his father and Bai Shuzhen his mother. ?If it was not so, then he would not have recognized them as his parents. ?4
He immediately reassured her." Zhu-zhu, don't you worry. I am a very important person in the outside world, and have many high connections. I may be a government official and cannot forgo official work for personal affairs, but I can call upon some of my good friends. There will be a way to deal with Azure Mountain."
Tian Zhu said with admiration, "I knew my dear Ren, unparalleled in the world, would find a way. You need to be careful though, the Grandmaster of Azure Mountain has already controlled all of the arcane realms in it. His power is connected to Heaven, and his presence is akin to that of the Heavenly Axiom. Fighting him won't be easy."
"Even if his power is connected to Heaven, there will be flaws. I have thought about this for quite a while; even if we don't invade Azure Mountain and somehow force them to wipe away Qi Mei's memories, it can be done." Ren Ruofeng said confidently.
Tian Zhu was mesmerized by him, and she no longer panicked.
She still needed to fight the Three Greats Formation. Quickly, both broke the connection and Ren Ruofeng stood. He started pacing in the office.
Then, a voice rang out.
"Who is Zhu-zhu? And who is Dear Ren?"
...
"What? You want to ask us to work with you on this tactic Attack the Heavenly Mountain with Seven Swords?"
Fang Ning stared, expressionless, looking like a statue; the Yellow Dog stared, its face towards the sky like some stupid husky?5?.
The Black Dog Brett rolled his eyes about, not knowing the situation but choosing to follow his master and Boss.
At the moment, Vigilante A and the two canines were in a deserted field, meeting with Ren Ruofeng and Hong Yunjiao. Ren Ruofeng had dark circles under his eyes, as though he had one too many late nights. Theoretically it could be removed easily using magic, but maybe he wanted to leave them there to show his hardworking attitude.
"Hear me out, Venerable One. I have a friend who had a sinful affair with the Guardian Goddess of Azure Mountain while cultivating there. Now, the Goddess is 10-years pregnant, and the Qi Mei you defeated before wants to take the baby..."
Ren Ruofeng used the classic "friend" cover to begin his story, telling everything from start to end.
The System said, "Big Billionaire, what is he saying? I don't understand."
Fang Ning said with a gossipy look, sniggering, "He is saying that he had a sinful affair with the Guardian Goddess, and now he wants us to help save his old lover - at least to not allow the baby to be taken. This Old Man Ren has a good, righteous look about him, yet he did this sort of thing. Though obviously, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Sigh, I'm just too innocent."
The System replied, "Oh, really? What should we do?"
Fang Ning thought, 'How should know what to do?' But he had been with Sir for the better part of the year, and he had learnt a tactic; if it's impossible, giving up was a good option...
So he said decisively, "Ask Ren Ruofeng. He's the leader of the Think Tank Group, and he can probably see through it."
Vigilante A said, "Leader Ren, I think there may be something suspicious about all this."
Ren Ruofeng seemed to agree."You are truly wise to a level unparalleled, Venerable Sir. I thought so too... of course we cannot enter that mountain, but I have researched them for years and I know their fatal weak point. That is..."
Fang Ning listened patiently, nodding his head occasionally. Ren Ruofeng was truly no good person; he was cunning and calculating, with high IQ. Such unstable factors as Azure Mountain had been researched by him many times.
If he had not been invaded by Sir System who had unrivaled Celestial Aura and maintained his introvert look of before, he would have been so different from this person that he could only watch him through online videos while giving several unsavory comments.
How would it be like this, the other explaining patiently when he did not understand it and making sure he himself also understood it fully?
