I Came, Thus There Were Immortals and Gods in This World!
On the small boat.
Huang Rong!
Li Hao turned to Angel Yan and smiled. "Do you know what the most interesting and most satisfying thing in the world is?"
Angel Yan remained silent in confusion, faintly on guard.
After their previous exchanges, she could already confirm beyond doubt that Li Hao was even better at dirty talk than she was.
Hearing his question now, Angel Yan instantly thought of all sorts of R-rated things unsuitable for children.
Without waiting for Angel Yan's answer, Li Hao smiled. "The most interesting thing in this world is displaying power beyond the comprehension of weak and ignorant beings.
"Then watching their dumbfounded expressions, feeling their despair and helplessness, teaching them the true, the good, and the beautiful in this world, and helping them understand the fine qualities of keeping a low profile and being humble."
Angel Yan blinked somewhat blankly. She did not quite understand what Li Hao meant, while also feeling a little embarrassed.
So it wasn't that kind of embarrassing thing between a man and a woman!
Ahem, ahem. She definitely had not gotten the wrong idea. It was all Dog Group Owner's fault for having such a filthy mind and driving so fast that he had made her misunderstand.
Wait, those words!
Angel Yan had lived for seven thousand years, after all, and quickly snapped out of it.
After saying all that, wasn't this guy just trying to show off because his perverse hobby had acted up again?
Once Angel Yan figured it out, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly, "Hey, aren't you too bored? Why show off to some natives for no reason?"
Li Hao smiled. "Ordinary natives naturally aren't worth our attention, but this person is different. She is the protagonist of this world, and someone with great fortune who spans three eras. Do you think someone like that is worth meeting?"
There were still some things Li Hao did not say outright. He was very curious whether Angel Yan and he could trigger a mission.
Ordinary people might not be able to, but Huang Rong was different.
She was a protagonist who spanned three eras: the female lead of the Legend of the Condor Heroes era, an important supporting character in the Return of the Condor Heroes era, and the mother of Guo Xiang, a key founder of the Heaven-Reliant era.
Not to mention that the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber both had deep ties to Huang Rong.
A protagonist, someone blessed with great fortune!
Someone who spanned three eras!
Angel Yan was somewhat stunned, and also a little surprised.
She understood what he meant by protagonist, but becoming the protagonist of even one era was already extraordinarily difficult, let alone being one across three eras!
Wasn't such a person favored by the fortune of the entire world?
Angel Yan asked curiously, "Did you calculate this too?"
Li Hao merely smiled without answering. "Come, let's take a look at this world's child of fortune."
Before Angel Yan could speak, Li Hao wrapped an arm around her slender willow waist and stepped through the air toward the large ship where Huang Rong stood.
He walked through the sky, treading upon empty air.
At this moment, the small boat was still over a hundred zhang from the large ship. Those with poor eyesight could not even make out the small boat's shape.
Huang Rong stood at the bow, watching the small skiff draw ever closer without making any move. Her delicate brows furrowed.
It was not easy for a large ship to change course, especially at such close range.
Seeing that the small boat showed no response, she could not help but feel a little helpless and annoyed.
Still, displeased as she was, Huang Rong intended to quickly order the helmsman to avoid the small boat as much as possible and prevent any mishap.
But before she could give the order, she saw the most shocking sight of her life.
Two figures walked through the air toward them!
Above the slightly misty Han River, they seemed like immortals descended from heaven.
This!
Huang Rong stared wide-eyed. How had she ever seen such peerless lightness skill?
Even her father, Huang Laoxie, was absolutely incapable of such a feat!
While she was lost in thought, Li Hao had already landed on the ship with Angel Yan.
"Greetings, Madam Guo." Li Hao released Angel Yan's slender waist and smiled at the dumbfounded Huang Rong.
Huang Rong could not help taking two steps back, her heart filled with uncertainty.
When had such peerless experts appeared in the martial world?
She frowned. "Who are you?"
Li Hao smiled. "Perhaps it would be more fitting for you to think of us as the immortals and gods from the legends you remember."
Immortals and gods!?
Huang Rong blinked stupidly and looked at Li Hao and Angel Yan with a strange expression.
Could this man be insane?
Immortals and gods!
Their cultivation might have been extraordinary, but immortals and gods?
Huang Rong did not believe it. Frowning, she said, "Sir, your cultivation is peerless, so why make such a joke with me? Immortals and gods—when have immortals and gods ever descended into this world? And this lady..."
As she spoke, Huang Rong looked toward Angel Yan, her delicate brows drawing tightly together.
Her clothes were so provocative, and her hair color differed from that of Central Plains people. Could she be some barbarian from the West?
But that attire was simply far too shameless.
Merely upon seeing Angel Yan's clothing, Huang Rong found it difficult to feel any goodwill toward either of them. This was already the Southern Song era, a time when Neo-Confucianism flourished and women's status was growing ever lower.
In this era, only women who observed the Three Obediences and Four Virtues were considered good women. Dressed as Angel Yan was, with her thighs exposed, she would undoubtedly be branded a harlot.
Li Hao remained calm. Showing off as naturally as the wind, he said indifferently, "I came; therefore, this world has immortals and gods!"
I came; therefore, this world has immortals and gods!
Huang Rong stood dumbfounded, looking at Li Hao as though he were a madman.
Just how arrogant was this man?
Angel Yan stood beside Li Hao. Watching his exchange with Huang Rong and listening to his overly literary manner of speaking, she found it exceptionally dull.
When the Angel Race manifested their divinity, they had always been simple, direct, and forceful.
For example!
Enormous white wings suddenly spread from Angel Yan's back as she floated about a meter above the deck.
Looking down at the beautiful married woman Huang Rong, whose expression had changed drastically and who was beginning to question her entire life, seemingly on the verge of breaking down, she said teasingly, "Little human girl, you seem to have doubts about us."
"I, I..."
Huang Rong's face was blank. Her lips moved mutely, yet she could not utter a single complete sentence.
She was completely stunned. Utterly stunned.
If she had still harbored some doubts before, then upon seeing Angel Yan's inhuman form, Huang Rong truly had no choice but to believe.
How could humans possibly have wings?
How could humans possibly stand in midair?
Yet Huang Rong was Huang Rong after all. She quickly managed to recover a little calm from the tremendous shock and asked nervously, "May I ask this honored deity's name?"
Angel Yan was quite pleased with Huang Rong's attitude and secretly shot Li Hao a provocative look.
That smug little look seemed to say: Well? I'm still better at this, aren't I?
Li Hao shot her a sidelong glare, feeling somewhat speechless.
Had Angel Yan broken somehow?
But the worst part was that he had actually been outdone at showing off. How depressing.
Was this what they meant by an outsider being better at showing off?
Angel Yan said, "I am Angel Yan, Left Wing of the King of the Gods' Holy Guard."
Angel?
Left Wing of the King of the Gods' Holy Guard?
Though Huang Rong still did not fully understand, she managed to grasp the general meaning.
At that moment, a notification from the Chat Group appeared simultaneously in Li Hao's and Angel Yan's minds.
"Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden mission: Huang Rong's Worry."
A hidden mission, Huang Rong's Worry?
Li Hao and Angel Yan exchanged glances, both somewhat taken aback.
