God's Perspective

Ding! Please choose one.

Basic option: Shui Bing'er's family has provoked a powerful enemy. Do not get involved; leave as soon as possible. Reward: Culinary skills upgraded from intermediate to advanced.

Intermediate option: Warn them that they are being watched, then leave quickly. Do not get too involved. Reward: Soul Power increased by one level.

Advanced option: Stay and help Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's family. Reward: Observation skill, God's Perspective.

The mechanical voice rang out in his mind. Li Xuan looked at the three options and curiously opened the description for God's Perspective.

God's Perspective: Consumes Mental Power to observe every area within a ten-kilometer radius. An observation-type skill.

"This is such a powerful skill. A ten-kilometer radius—its range is huge."

Li Xuan stared at the skill description in surprise. With this skill, his chances of getting lost would be greatly reduced, and he could reach Holy Soul Village faster.

With that in mind, Li Xuan chose the third option without hesitation.

Ding! Selection complete. You have obtained the observation skill, God's Perspective.

As the system's voice sounded, Li Xuan felt his mind suddenly tremble.

The next second, he discovered that his perspective had risen into the air.

From high above, he overlooked the area, surveying everything within a ten-kilometer radius.

However, the viewpoint was too high, making the area below unclear, like looking down from atop a tall building. So Li Xuan tried adjusting his perspective.

Sure enough.

Under his control, the viewpoint began descending from the sky, dropping toward the location he chose. Everything became clearer and clearer.

"Eh? There's a girl bathing in that little pool over there. Ahem, don't look at what you shouldn't see. Don't look at what you shouldn't see."

Li Xuan hurriedly shifted his perspective and continued observing his surroundings. He easily saw countless scenes, including the manor where he was staying.

"They really are rich. They actually have such a huge manor. Wait, those two are watching the manor."

Looking at the two suspicious figures near the manor gate, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Creak!

The door opened, and light footsteps came from outside.

Hearing the sound, Li Xuan immediately withdrew God's Perspective and looked toward the door.

Soon.

Two beautiful little girls who had not yet grown up walked in through the doorway. Their little loli-like appearances were truly adorable.

"You're awake? How do you feel? Are you all right now?"

Shui Yue'er blinked her large eyes at Li Xuan, her gaze repeatedly sweeping over his face.

It could not be helped. In the original story, she had already acted a little lovestruck when she saw Dai Mubai. Now that she had met Li Xuan, whose Appearance Enhancement had been raised twice, she could not help stealing more glances at him.

Perhaps she had even saved Li Xuan because he was simply too handsome.

Shui Bing'er beside her, on the other hand, was not acting lovestruck. Although she also thought Li Xuan was handsome, she only looked at him twice before looking away.

"Hello, my name is Li Xuan. Thank you for saving me."

Li Xuan greeted them, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to Shui Yue'er's burning gaze.

"You're welcome. I'm Shui Yue'er, and this is my sister, Shui Bing'er. My sister saved you. Otherwise, you would have been swept away by the water."

Shui Yue'er explained with a smile, turning to look at her sister, Shui Bing'er.

However.

It would have been better if she had said nothing. The moment she mentioned saving him, Shui Bing'er's body stiffened.

Then, recalling the scene of saving Li Xuan, a wave of embarrassment instantly surged into Shui Bing'er's heart.

"Hello. Thank you for saving me," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"It's nothing. You're a villager from nearby, right? Be more careful in the future. Don't play in the water alone—it's too dangerous. The current even washed you into the little river by my family's manor."

Shui Bing'er spoke with the air of a little adult.

"I understand. But I have a question. Has something happened to your family?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.

"Hm? How did you know?"

Shui Bing'er immediately spoke up, her expression turning tense. If Li Xuan had not been a child, she would have suspected him of being a spy.

"When I was playing in the water, I saw two people sneakily watching your manor. They were dressed in ordinary gray commoner clothes—one was fat, and the other was tall."

Li Xuan spoke innocently, describing the appearance and characteristics of the two people watching the manor.

"So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er became extremely serious and immediately questioned him further.

"Are you sure they were watching the manor? About where were they?"

"Of course I'm sure. I'm not certain of their exact location. I only remember that they were heading toward the manor gate," Li Xuan continued innocently.

"The gate? All right, we'll go take a look. If what you said is true, I'll give you a generous reward," Shui Bing'er said seriously.

"All right, then go check first."

"Let's go!"

Shui Bing'er led Shui Yue'er as they hurried outside, their tender little legs moving as fast as rabbits.

Once he saw them leave, Li Xuan quickly activated God's Perspective again and continued observing the two men at the manor gate.

At that moment, the two men were talking to a bald man, seemingly reporting something.

A moment later, the bald man left, while the fat man and the tall man continued their surveillance.

Seeing this, Li Xuan locked God's Perspective onto the bald man and began tracking where he was going.

Elsewhere.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er hurried toward the manor gate, preparing to look outside through the crack in the gate.

Yet they were still somewhat doubtful of Li Xuan's words.

"Little sister, do you think what Li Xuan said is true? Could he have seen wrong?" Shui Bing'er asked doubtfully.

"It should be true. He's so handsome, so he definitely wouldn't lie," Shui Yue'er replied.

"I..."

Shui Bing'er was both annoyed and amused by her sister's words. Being good-looking had nothing to do with lying, did it? Could she stop letting her values follow someone's face? Speechless, Shui Bing'er decided not to ask her sister anymore and chose to verify it herself.

After all, their family had provoked a powerful enemy. They had to be as cautious as possible. If they found a clue, they could solve a huge problem.

Thus, the two little girls quickly ran to the gate.

Peering carefully through the crack in the gate, their little faces instantly turned grave, because they truly saw those two people.

"There really is one fat man and one tall man. They weren't here this morning," Shui Yue'er said.

"Yes, and although they're pretending to be commoners selling goods, they keep looking at the manor. Something really is wrong. Come on, let's tell Father."

"All right, Sister."

The two little girls once again scampered away on their little feet.

Inside the manor study.

A stern-looking man was staring at a threatening letter in front of him, his fists clenched tightly.

"Steward, how is the intelligence investigation going? Have you found any clues?" the stern man asked coldly.

"My apologies, Family Head. We've searched for clues for several days and found nothing. We have no idea who is targeting us," the steward said quietly.

"You've searched for seven days straight and still haven't found a single clue. You've disappointed me greatly," the Family Head said angrily.

"Family Head, it's not that we haven't tried. It's simply too difficult. Yesterday, I even brought in an expert investigator, but we still found no clues."

The steward wore a miserable expression. It felt far too difficult. As long as the hidden enemy did not reveal themselves, they had nowhere to begin investigating.

"Forget it. I can't blame you. The enemy is simply too cunning."

The Family Head thought of last year's Auction House robbery in the main city. The case still had not been solved, even after the army had been mobilized.

And now.

Relying solely on his own subordinates to find an enemy who refused to show themselves was far, far too difficult. Ordinary people truly could not do it.

But the deadline stated in the threatening letter was today. If he did not agree, they would be in danger.

Thus, the two of them sighed repeatedly, worrying over their failure to find any clues.
