He said, "Thank you!"

Sode no Shirayuki shook her head and said, "It is my honor to serve my master."

From Jiang Chen's perspective, he could see Sode no Shirayuki's perfect profile, her skin as fair as ice and snow, her large eyes, and her high nose bridge. She looked just like a Barbie doll.

Jiang Chen had watched anime before and was deeply impressed by Sode no Shirayuki's peerless beauty. As the most beautiful Zanpakuto, she truly lived up to her reputation.

Moreover, she had a very good temper. If she weren't a Zanpakuto spirit, she would make a good wife.

"Does Master want to sleep a little longer?"

Sode no Shirayuki asked softly.

Jiang Chen shook his head. He still remembered the dream he just had, where the system quests had refreshed.

He wondered if he was so tired that he was a little confused.

He was so tired that he even dreamed about the system.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen opened his system template.

The system quests had indeed refreshed.

And the quests were too bizarre.

Find Su Daji to obtain 30,000 points of Activation Value.

Finding a person actually yielded such a high Activation Value.

This was much more reliable than the melodramatic quests he had undertaken before, like confessing to a Campus Belle.

The city he was in wasn't very large, so finding someone shouldn't be difficult.

If he couldn't find her, he could always ask General Pagoda for help.

30,000 points of Activation Value was already a lot.

He wanted to obtain more Activation Value, more Zanpakuto, and more abilities. That way, he would become stronger and stronger.

To become the strongest, that was his goal.

Jiang Chen felt no fatigue at all now.

"Sode no Shirayuki, I'm going back. I'll bring you delicious food next time I visit!"

With that said, Jiang Chen disappeared.

Sode no Shirayuki wanted to say that as a Zanpakuto spirit, she didn't need to eat anything.

Before she could say it, Jiang Chen had already vanished.

She wondered what was so urgent.

He left even before his Soul Power had fully recovered.

"His Red Phoenix star is moving!"

Omniscience smiled meaningfully, looking at the spot where Jiang Chen had disappeared and said.

Sode no Shirayuki was a little surprised. "You mean Master is going to find his other half?"

"You could say that, but... I hope he doesn't stir up trouble!"

Jiang Chen woke up in the real world and found himself in his room, with Fatty guarding him.

Seeing him wake up, Fatty cried, "Brother Chen, you're finally awake! I thought you would never wake up again!"

"Do you know that you've been asleep for three days!"

"Three days? That long!"

Jiang Chen hadn't expected that he had merely exhausted his Soul Power and was just replenishing it through sleep, yet he had slept for three whole days.

He hadn't woken up for three days. Xiao Lan must already know about his fight with the Three-Headed Hound.

He noticed Xiao Lan wasn't in the room and asked, "Where is Xiao Lan?"

"She stayed up all night guarding you yesterday and is resting in her room now."

"I'll tell her right away that you're awake!"

Fatty said, standing up from the chair by the bed and heading for the door.

"No need!" Jiang Chen called out to Fatty.

"Xiao Lan is already very tired, let her rest first. I'm fine now, just a little hungry!"

After all, he hadn't eaten for three days, so he was indeed quite hungry.

"Zhang Banxian has already gone out to buy breakfast. What do you want to eat? I'll have him buy it!"

"He came too?"

Zhang Banxian should be at home taking care of the injured Daoist Zhang.

"You were unconscious, how could he not come!"

"By the way, Brother Chen, what do you want to eat? I'll call him right now and tell him."

"I want fried rice with shredded pork in garlic sauce, and a lemon soda."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll have him buy it."

As he spoke, Fatty picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Banxian.

Not long after, Fatty hung up the phone and said, "I've told him."

"He said it's too early, and the restaurants are probably closed. He said he'll buy the ingredients and cook himself."

Jiang Chen wanted to say it wasn't necessary to go through so much trouble, and that he could order something else if it was too difficult.

The call was already over, and it would be too much trouble to call back.

So he didn't say anything.

"By the way, Brother Chen!"

Fatty seemed to remember something and said, "My stomach hurts a bit. I need to go to the restroom. Are you okay by yourself?"

"Do I look like I have a problem?"

Jiang Chen swayed his arm and asked.

"Then I'm going!"

After the room door closed, Jiang Chen asked the quiet room, "How much longer are you going to stay?"

"Human, you have good vigilance. You actually found me!"

In a corner of the room where the sun couldn't reach, the Ghost Child appeared before Jiang Chen, holding a skull.

"You're full of ghostly energy. It's hard not to notice you."

Jiang Chen replied.

"Your friend didn't notice me."

"His Supernatural Ability is different from mine, so it's normal that he couldn't find me."

Jiang Chen stroked his chin, looked at the Ghost Child, and asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm here to verify one thing."

"There's something that's been spreading among the Hundred Ghosts recently."

"And it has something to do with you!"

It has something to do with him? What could it be? Could it be that he defeated the Three-Headed Hound?

The Ghost Child seemed to know what Jiang Chen was thinking and replied, "It has nothing to do with you defeating the Three-Headed Hound!"

"The Three-Headed Hound is the guardian beast of hell. Do you think we Hundred Ghosts, who can't even cross the Yellow River, would care about matters of hell?"

Then what is it? Jiang Chen looked at the Ghost Child with confused eyes.

"It's about Su Daji." The Ghost Child hugged the skull, found a place to sit, and replied.

Su Daji?

Jiang Chen thought of the mission the system had given him.

Find Su Daji.

He didn't know who Su Daji was in this world.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Child knew, so he asked, "What happened to her?"

"It's said that she's getting married."

"That should be a joyous occasion!"

Jiang Chen replied casually.

"But you won't say that when you know who the groom is."

"Why?"

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

"Because..." The Ghost Child smiled and continued, "The groom is you, Jiang Chen."

"Me?"

Jiang Chen pointed at himself, disbelieving. He didn't know Su Daji at all, so how could there be a marriage?

What kind of joke is this?

"Do you know who Su Daji is? How old is she?"

"Who is she? And how old is she?"

"Su Daji is a ten-thousand-year-old fox spirit from the fox clan. It's said she existed in ancient times."

"I didn't expect the human I fancied to become the groom of an old hag, and without my permission."

"How can I let that old hag succeed!"

The Ghost Child swayed its little legs, as if talking about a very ordinary matter.

But Jiang Chen felt that the words just spoken were filled with killing intent.

His current priority wasn't this, but...

Why had he become the old hag's groom?

Jiang Chen wanted to ask.

The Ghost Child disappeared.

Just then, Fatty pushed open the door and saw Jiang Chen, saying, "Brother Chen, I'm done with the restroom."

"I'm a bit hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?"

"Do you count little bear biscuits?"

Jiang Chen thought of the snacks his sister had given him in the room and asked.

"Anything is fine!"

Seeing Jiang Chen take out a miniature version of the little bear biscuits.

Fatty was stunned. He asked, "Just one?"
