Negotiations with the Reincarnators

After arriving in Guobei County, Xiao Han dragged Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia straight to Luo Temple. Taking advantage of the morning when demonic beings were suppressed by sunlight, they set up a sword formation jointly controlled by the two of them and rained down tens of thousands of Myriad Swords Technique flying swords infused with terrifying sword intent, blasting Tree Demon Granny head-on.

Before she could react, Tree Demon Granny was stunned senseless by the sword formation in an instant. Nearly the entire mountain's worth of her tree body suffered severe damage.

Reeling in pain, she went berserk. Her branch tentacles lashed out like spears wielded by Martial Path masters, striking at Xiao Han and Yan Chixia.

Ning Caichen, with his low cultivation, was nominally backing them up but was actually slacking off.

Not only did he slack off and idle around, but Ning Caichen also got smacked straight into the lake by one of Tree Demon Granny's branches, taking a bath in the process.

Just as Ning Caichen struggled ashore to watch Xiao Han and Yan Chixia's fierce battle with the tree demon, he ran into Nie Xiaoqian leading a group of her sisters.

Ning Caichen initially thought these female ghosts were helping the villain and must be vicious scoundrels, so he drew his sword to exterminate demons. But after Nie Xiaoqian's pitiful tearful plea, he finally understood the whole story.

Moved by compassion, Ning Caichen volunteered to retrieve the Golden Pagodas of all the female ghosts. Meanwhile, Xiao Han had nearly gotten his rear end skewered by the tree demon and was naturally furious. He summoned Demonic Flame at full power and burned Tree Demon Granny to charcoal.

Then, a group of transmigrators stared blankly as their mission failed, too afraid to voice their anger.

"Alright, you girls, take your Golden Pagodas and reincarnate. Don't do any more harm to others." In the ruins of Luo Temple, Ning Caichen dug out a pile of Golden Pagodas and lined them up neatly on a table.

Hearing Ning Caichen's gentle words, the group of female ghosts wept as they knelt before him, led by Luo Temple's brothel top courtesan, Nie Xiaoqian.

They prostrated themselves fully, kowtowing a few times to Ning Caichen: "Young master's great kindness, we sisters have no way to repay. We only hope that after reincarnation, in our next life, we can give ourselves to you as repayment."

"It was nothing more than a small effort. Ladies, please rise."

Not to mention anything else, ever since Ning Caichen started cultivating the Dao, he had gained an ethereal aura of a cultivator. Even Xiao Han had to admit that with a handsome face like Leslie Cheung's, enhanced by that temperament, Ning Caichen was truly a rare and elegant young man.

"Hey, if it weren't for me and Hero Yan taking down Tree Demon Granny, where would you get your freedom? And this guy Ning Caichen didn't help at all—he was just slacking off the whole time."

Xiao Han was a bit speechless, despairing at this world that judged by looks. He knew he was handsome too, but he looked like a fourteen-year-old brat. How could those female ghosts be interested in him?

"Thank you, young master and Hero Yan, for your lifesaving grace. Your great kindness, we have no way to repay. We only hope that in our next life, we can serve you like oxen and horses." Xiao Han's teasing words made the female ghosts turn and bow gracefully to him and Yan Chixia, though not as solemnly as before.

Xiao Han: ∑(￣□￣;)

Too real. Facing a handsome young hunk, it's "give ourselves to you." Facing a kid like Xiao Han or an old man like Yan Chixia, it's "serve like oxen and horses." Can you not be so double-standard?

"Come off it. When the fight started, you went crazy setting the mountain on fire. If Brother Ning hadn't protected those Golden Pagodas, these female ghosts would have been ashes by now—"

Yan Chixia rolled his eyes at Xiao Han and said irritably.

"Uh, well..."

Hearing this, Xiao Han lowered his head sheepishly, still muttering complaints like "Who told that damned tree demon to poke my rear" and "Disgusting pervert tree demon."

The group of Reincarnators sat to the side, watching this bizarre scene, feeling like their brains couldn't keep up.

Heavens, what was this transmigrator even doing?

Ning Caichen, a weak scholar, had been turned into a cultivator. Although Ning Caichen was very weak now—any Reincarnator present could kill him with some effort—the problem was that it was obvious Ning Caichen hadn't been cultivating long.

And this transmigrator, overflowing with Demonic Qi, had actually managed to uproot Tree Demon Granny!?

Even the original Yan Chixia hadn't done that. At most, Yan Chixia had used Palm Thunder to seal Tree Demon Granny for a hundred years.

But that seemingly world-destroying flame from this transmigrator had spread along the tree demon's trunk all the way underground, burning the thousand-year tree demon's roots to nothing. Clearly, this transmigrator was not someone they could afford to provoke.

And somehow, Yan Chixia, who hated evil like an enemy, hadn't attacked this Demonic Qi-filled person! How bizarre was that?

The Reincarnators' hearts trembled. If not for Xiao Han's first words when they met and his pure, murderless gaze, these Reincarnators, scared as mice, might have already run.

If Xiao Han knew what the Reincarnators were thinking, he would definitely laugh inwardly.

The Demon Armor's aura was very strong. Roughly speaking, if someone unfamiliar encountered it, they would definitely think some world-ending Demon God had descended.

But to be honest, the Demon Armor itself was actually quite weak.

If Xiao Han's cultivation wasn't high enough, it would just be an item that emitted a terrifying pressure. The Demon Armor's power grew with Xiao Han's cultivation, and it also helped him train. The two complemented each other.

"Hero Yan, wait here. I'll go catch up with these fellow countrymen of mine."

"Go on, go on."

Waving his hand impatiently, Yan Chixia lay down in a relatively intact pavilion at the edge of Luo Temple's ruins, drinking wine. Ning Caichen, meanwhile, was chanting the Rebirth Mantra one by one to send the female ghosts off.

Watching Xiao Han approach step by step, the Reincarnators all grew tense. They exchanged glances and unanimously decided to let the only beauty in their team, Chen Lan, handle the negotiation.

"Uh, hello, we are—"

But just as Chen Lan started to speak, Xiao Han cut her off: "Alright, alright. I was sent into this world by the main god. Compared to you rookies, I'm a high-level Reincarnator!"

The Reincarnators were skeptical: "If you're a Reincarnator, why don't you have a Reincarnation Watch on your wrist?"

"Heh, are you here to do missions or be reporters? Do you have to ask about everything?!"

Xiao Han looked at the Reincarnators and shook his head with a cold smile: "Don't ask too many questions, or else."

Xiao Han raised his hand blade and made a slicing motion across his own neck—

"Snap~"

Although the boy's expression was comical, the Reincarnators couldn't laugh. A chill ran through their hearts. They fell silent, apparently afraid to respond.

Seeing how boring these people were, Xiao Han lost the urge to scare them.

Then, Xiao Han scratched his hair, glanced at the Reincarnators whose thoughts he couldn't read, and laughed: "Just kidding. Don't take it to heart."

"I'd like to ask what everyone's Reincarnation Space mission is. Perhaps our goals align."

Since Xiao Han had so bluntly revealed his identity, if they continued to hide theirs, it would likely provoke his anger.

With that thought, the Man in Sunglasses was the first to break the tense atmosphere. He stepped forward and used his Reincarnation Watch to show Xiao Han the projected content.

"Our objective is to assist Yan Chixia in killing the Tree Demon Granny, the Black Mountain Demon, and the Centipede Demon."

"What a coincidence. My goal is also to assist Yan Chixia in slaying the Black Mountain Demon and the Centipede Demon."

Xiao Han casually examined the Reincarnation Watch on the Man in Sunglasses' wrist. "Since there's no conflict of interest, we can absolutely cooperate. After all, you've seen how much Yan Chixia trusts me."

After a moment of deliberation, the Man in Sunglasses looked at Xiao Han and nodded in agreement. "Fine. With a powerful ally like you, our mission's safety will be greatly improved."

But just as Xiao Han and the Man in Sunglasses reached their agreement, Xiao Han's expression suddenly shifted!

Warning! Warning! Due to a business conflict between this system and the Main God Space, contact with the Reincarnation Watch and the Main God Space must be initiated. Host is to execute immediately!
