In the Villa's living room, Ning Rongrong could not help retreating a few steps in fear under Chen Shi's gaze.

But compared with Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu, she did not really have any secrets, so what was she afraid of?

At that thought, Ning Rongrong thrust out her modestly developed chest and seized the initiative:

"What are you looking at? I don't have any shameful secrets. Why would I be afraid of whatever fancy tale you might spin?"

Chen Shi did not get angry at this. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Your name is Ning Rongrong, and you're the youngest daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You're thirteen this year. You're quite talented, with rank-nine innate soul power, but you're rebellious. In the end, you ran away from your sect to study at Shrek Academy."

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong still wore a proud, defiant expression, but the shock in her heart could not have been greater.

She clearly remembered that, of the five of them, only Xiao Wu had had her name called out by her. None of the others had revealed their names.

Chen Shi had learned her background without doing anything. Such an ability was unheard of.

After hearing their conversation, the others remained much calmer this time, because they had actually already guessed something of Ning Rongrong's identity.

After finishing with Ning Rongrong, Chen Shi looked at Dugu Yan, who seemed out of place among the other four. Without waiting for her to react, he began speaking:

"Your name is Dugu Yan, and you study at Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy. You're Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's only descendant, and you're twenty this year. Your Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Although you didn't inherit Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, the problem he suffers from has appeared in you as well. Despite your youth, you've already suffered terribly from serpent venom."

At these words, Dugu Yan instantly froze like a wooden chicken.

Only she and her grandfather knew about the serpent venom in her body. This man had learned so many details after looking at her just once. This...

Chen Shi paid no attention to Dugu Yan's reaction. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot, turning his gaze to Hu Liena, the last to appear.

This scene also drew the attention of everyone in the living room and across the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, Hu Liena, who knew how extraordinary Chen Shi's abilities were, understood that she could not escape after learning the others' secrets.

But compared with Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu, her background was actually very simple, much like Ning Rongrong's.

Thinking of it this way, she felt the pressure on her ease considerably.

Then she heard Chen Shi speak:

"Your name is Hu Liena, and you have an older brother named Xie Yue. You're orphans, but Spirit Hall took you in when you were children. You also became Bibi Dong's disciple and are known as Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, the leading candidate to inherit the position of Pope."

At this, the other four in the living room all looked at Hu Liena. They had not expected her to have such a background.

To Xiao Wu, both women from Spirit Hall were targets for her revenge.

If she truly could not return to the Douluo Continent, she would find a way to eliminate these two. Trading one life for two would certainly be no loss.

After hearing Chen Shi's words, Qian Renxue nodded silently.

She did not know much more about Hu Liena than Chen Shi did. Perhaps that was because Chen Shi had only mentioned the important things.

After Chen Shi finished describing the five women's backgrounds, the entire living room suddenly fell silent.

Chen Shi was very satisfied with this effect. Only by inspiring awe in others could he avoid obstruction in whatever he did in the future.

In the living room, Qian Renxue finally spoke after a long silence:

"You investigated us?"

"What methods did you use?"

"Methods?"

Chen Shi looked at her and laughed. "Do you think this is still the Douluo Continent? What I know about you goes beyond your imagination. Your past? Your present and future? I know a thing or two about them all."

At this, Qian Renxue was left speechless. She merely stared fixedly at Chen Shi, her thoughts unknown.

Just then, Hu Liena suddenly spoke:

"Then what exactly do you want to do? Surely you didn't bring us here just to chat?"

"Of course not?"

Chen Shi shook his head, sat up straight, and looked at the five women as he said solemnly:

"First, let me give you some good news."

"Although your lease lasts a month, you can return to the Douluo Continent once every seven days, for one day each time. The timing is fixed. You can choose to return or not, but the opportunity expires if you miss it."

"After thirty days, when the lease ends, you can keep renting if you want. If you don't, you can simply go back. I won't stop you."

Chen Shi also said this to avoid putting too much mental pressure on them. Going too far was as bad as not going far enough.

After hearing Chen Shi's words, the five women exchanged looks.

Could they really go back?

Although returning once every seven days was troublesome, it was better than knowing nothing, right?

Besides, if they could return once every seven days, they could also make some preparations.

And the lease only lasted a month. That was not long.

For a moment, they all imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Chen Shi smiled and continued:

"As you're my tenants, I can answer one question from each of you as a greeting gift!"

At these words, Qian Renxue and the other four were startled.

They had already experienced Chen Shi's abilities just now, and he had specifically emphasized that he knew their past, present, and future.

In that case, this greeting gift was indeed valuable.

For a moment, all five of them began thinking rapidly about how to ask their question.

On the Douluo Continent, inside Spirit Hall.

As Bibi Dong watched the images on the Light Screen, her expression shifted uncertainly.

"This man really does have some ability. He saw straight through Na'er's identity."

"But is it true that he knows everyone's past, present, and future? If it is, even I want to go and see for myself."

"But the lease only lasts a month, and they can return to the Douluo Continent once every seven days. I'll see whether that's true when the time comes. If it is, this place might be an opportunity for me!"

Bibi Dong made up her mind. If that man on the Light Screen truly knew everything from the heavens above to the earth below and could predict the future, she would enter the Light Screen and ask him, no matter what.

In the Worship Hall, also within Spirit Hall.

When Qian Daoliu and the others heard that Qian Renxue could return to the Douluo Continent after thirty days, they too breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as Xiao Xue can come back. As long as she can come back!"

"That Chen Shi really does have some tricks. He actually knows the complete backgrounds of all five women on the Light Screen? Is he really a god?"

"I think that if Xiao Xue really can return once every seven days, we can make some preparations in advance. There are questions we could have her ask for us."

"Indeed."

"..."

Listening to the worship elders talking behind him, Qian Daoliu also looked thoughtful.

Could they ask whether another god could emerge from their Angel Clan in this era?

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground while waiting for Tang San, cultivating to suppress his innate poison as he listened to the conversation on the Light Screen.

When Chen Shi spoke about Dugu Yan's condition, he could not help sighing:

"Ah, I thought this Little Scumbag could cure the poison in my granddaughter and me. Looks like this Little Scumbag isn't one to behave himself either. That Xiao Wu has already said I captured Tang San. Will Tang Hao come looking for him as his father?"

At that thought, Dugu Bo's scalp began to prickle.

As a Titled Douluo, he knew how formidable Tang Hao was.

Back then, Tang Hao had taken on three opponents alone in a head-on clash with Spirit Hall, and had even beaten the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, half to death. He had died after returning.

Dugu Bo fell far short of such strength.

Therefore, he had to keep Tang San captive. It was simply to save his own life.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who was flying toward the outskirts of Suotuo City, suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo!"

"Which son of a bitch is talking about me? If I find out, I'll beat you to death!"

After grumbling, Tang Hao looked up into the air, particularly at Xiao Wu, and murmured inwardly:

Xiao Wu, it all depends on what you choose!
