Unfeeling Yet Feeling!

Ji Wuqing blushed.

"You're so grateful to me?"

"Of course! Helping me break through is like a second life!"

"Alright, alright, what do you mean by 'rebirth'? I don't want to be your mother. If you want to express your gratitude, that's easy—marry me!"

[Quickly push Ji Wuqing away from your embrace.]

"Miss Heartless, I was just being wanton."

"Why are you being so serious with me! Last time we went to Dapan Hot Spring, we soaked in the same pool, didn't we?"

["Hey, hey, ruthless! It's only here when there are no outsiders that you can say such things. There are hundreds of people in that pool, and everyone's wearing clothes!"]

"Who knows if you used your Divine Sense to spy on me!"

["Then I'm really in deep trouble..."]

[You're curious why Ji Wuqing and Ji Baiming always want you to become their son-in-law.]

[It can be said that for the past century, this father and daughter have never given up on this idea.]

[Of course, Ji Baiming sometimes recommends his daughter to other ambitious young men; he doesn't just focus on you.]

[Ji Wuqing tells you that she is the eldest daughter of the family head, and a direct descendant of the main branch.]

[According to ancestral law, the position of head of the family should be passed on to the eldest legitimate heir like her.]

But she is a woman.

[Originally, there was no problem; Legendary it that there was even a period in the Ji Family's history when the family only passed down the skills to daughters.]

[But Ji Wuqing remained single, never marrying and without children.]

[If the position of family head is passed to her in the future, and something were to happen to her, the lineage would be broken, potentially leading to a struggle for the position among the core members of the clan.]

After all, once the direct line of succession is severed, regardless of kinship, it will always provide a reason for one to ascend to power.

[Therefore, the Ji Family has strict rules: regardless of whether the line of succession passes to a son or a daughter, the successor must be a married person, preferably with children.]

Even if it means having no children, one cannot remain single.

["Now you understand, right? To be honest, putting that aside, I like you."]

"Uh... you really are outspoken."

"What's the big deal? I, Ji Wuqing, never put on airs. I say what I like, and I say what I dislike!"

You have a chivalrous spirit; you can fight your way out of a crowd and rush to the distant stars for a complete stranger. I like that!

You also have a touch of melancholy, though it's hidden deep inside, I can see it, and it's very charming. I like it!

Your faith is firm, your perseverance unwavering, and your character excellent. I like it!

[You're embarrassed by what Ji Wuqing said.]

["Am I really that good? Don't flatter me to death... By the way, do you really want to be the head of the family?"]

"Of course."

"I didn't realize you were such a power-hungry person?"

["Hmph..."]

[Ji Wuqing tossed her waterfall-like hair and strode confidently in front of you, one hand behind her back, striking a pose of commanding the world.]

"You know, I'm an important member of the Kindling Society, but my Ji Family isn't. It's incredibly difficult for me to get any resources from my Lineage."

When I say "gather resources," I mean a massive amount, not just enough for one or two people.

But if I became the head of the Ji Family, just imagine how smoothly the many actions and training programs of the Kindling Society would go!

[You seem quite moved.]

[Ji Wuqing wanted to become the head of the family, not for her own sake, but for the sake of the Kindling Society, and for the smooth growth and nurturing of Human Race.]

She is doing something Merit.

[Your inner voice tells you that you should help her.]

[--Ji Wuqing could certainly marry any man she wanted, but she preferred to marry someone she liked; she had that right.]

[Whenever you're about to agree to Ji Wuqing's request, a name always flashes before your eyes.]

[Li Lingyue.]

That's strange...

[I clearly haven't had any interaction with Li Lingyue in this life, and I haven't inherited any feelings from previous lives, so where did this nameless affection come from?]

["Ruthless, you've helped me so much, it seems I have no choice but to..."]

"Wait! An urgent message has arrived from the Kindling Society. I'll go answer it!"

[Ji Wuqing suddenly left, appearing to be in a great hurry.]

[She left and stayed away for almost a year.]

Looking at the equipment slots with a whopping 33 entries.

Chen Yi had never felt so well-off.

He directly equipped himself with fourteen Golden Legend, plus six Prismatic Myth.

That only uses twenty squares.

The remaining thirteen slots are more than enough to allocate to Purple Epic and Green Rare.

So much so that Chen Yi has even put on the "Ageless Male God" look again.

Although "Wolverine" has made Chen Yi look younger.

However, if a "Ageless Male God" were to revert to the youthful, 18-year-old stage, his appearance would be even more striking, radiating youthful energy.

"It's almost two hundred years old; times have really changed."

Looking back at the previous five simulations, living to be a hundred years old would have been a luxury.

This time, I'm easily approaching two hundred years old.

[One hundred and sixty-nine years, one hundred and ninety-three years old.]

[Although Ji Wuqing's departure was sudden, you didn't notice anything unusual.]

[After all, she was an underground worker and frequently received breaking news.]

[Whenever this happens, no matter what she's doing, she immediately stops what she's doing and rushes to the scene.]

[Of course, she won't take you with her because you haven't formally taken the oath of membership.]

[Ji Wuqing didn't invite you either; she only said that their method of developing informants wasn't through invitations.]

[If you are particularly interested in joining, she can introduce you, but it will require several years of evaluation and passing multiple tests.]

[You found it a bit troublesome, so you didn't actively apply to join. Anyway, you and Ji Wuqing relationship, so Kindling Society really encounters any trouble, you can lend a hand.]

[You can sense that there aren't many people in this organization.]

They are very careful and cautious in their actions.

[Its advantage lies in its extremely long existence, so even with slow development, it has spread to almost all major planets—at least in the Tianhe Star System.]

[On this day, you are cultivating on Guxiao Mountain.]

[ --Ji Xiaosong secretly brought this up for you.]

[Now that you've broken through the bottleneck in your cultivation realm, it's the perfect time to rapidly improve your abilities. You've been diligently cultivating day and night.]

Ji Xiaosong was also nearby.

"Oh, it's so good that my cousin isn't here. I can finally have some peace and quiet."

You smiled and paused your cultivation.

"Xiaosong, actually your cousin really likes you."

"Forget it, she's just taking advantage of my honesty, making me her follower, serving her tea and water all day long, which is a waste of my cultivation."

"She's destined to inherit the position of family head and lead the entire Ji Clan clan. Would it be beneath you to be her follower?"

"If you put it that way... sigh! The main problem is that my cousin doesn't seem like the head of the family at all. I think Xiaori is more likely to be the head of the family."

[Ji Xiaori, one of Ji Wuqing brothers, is also someone with excellent cultivation aptitude.]

[Ji Xiaori also possesses considerable leadership skills and has already taken over many of the Ji Family's businesses, wielding significant real power.]

In this respect, Ji Wuqing is completely inferior.

[Ji Wuqing did this on purpose; by ignoring Lineage matters, she could handle the affairs of the Kindling Society at any time.]
