In the modern era, Jiang Yan picked out one of every style of dress.
There were dresses, formal gowns, qipaos, short skirts, and more. He wasn't short on money now anyway, so of course he ought to be generous.
"Let's try them on one at a time and see whether the sizes fit," Jiang Yan said to Qian Renxue, holding a pile of clothes.
"All right." After their chance encounter with a fan earlier, Qian Renxue no longer questioned any of Jiang Yan's decisions.
And Qian Renxue truly lived up to her reputation as one of the greatest beauties on the Douluo Continent. Every piece of modern clothing looked just right on her.
The saleswoman accompanying Jiang Yan was treated to a feast for the eyes.
"Jiang Yan, does this one look good?" This time, Qian Renxue came out wearing a golden qipao.
The qipao was expertly tailored, perfectly outlining Qian Renxue's graceful curves.
"Yes, it looks wonderful." Jiang Yan had already lost count of how many times he had given that answer.
Beside him, the saleswoman also kept praising her.
"Sir, this style suits your girlfriend so well. I've worked at this shop for so long, but this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue hurriedly waved her hands again. "We're not yet..."
"Oh? I see." A saleswoman who worked at a shop like this certainly knew how to handle a situation. She looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Then you'd better hurry, sir. It would be such a shame to miss out on a beauty like her."
Jiang Yan didn't reply, merely smiling and nodding.
"Please wrap up everything she just tried on," Jiang Yan said after Qian Renxue finished trying on the clothes.
Meanwhile, Ye Guyi and Leng Yaozhu had also finished choosing their clothes.
Ye Guyi's choices leaned toward casual wear, with many long dresses, while Leng Yaozhu was her complete opposite, choosing almost exclusively clothes with a more mature charm.
This left the saleswoman from earlier momentarily stunned.
She hadn't expected Jiang Yan to have brought not one beauty, but three.
She couldn't help inwardly sighing over how wonderful it was to be young.
After buying the clothes, Jiang Yan took the three of them to a supermarket, bought plenty of ingredients and snacks, and drove back to the residential complex.
Once they were home again, Jiang Yan told Qian Renxue and the other two to sit at the table and browse Douyin for a while, while he went into the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, Ye Guyi followed him in.
"Let me give you a hand," Ye Guyi said somewhat shyly.
"Oh? You know how to cook?" Jiang Yan asked.
"A little. I used to cook my own meals," Ye Guyi said.
"All right, then." Jiang Yan didn't object.
Having someone help would indeed make things go a little faster.
While helping prepare the ingredients, Ye Guyi took the initiative to ask about her own ending.
"I want to know how many Evil Soul Masters I killed in the future."
Ye Guyi didn't ask what level she ultimately reached. She knew her Martial Soul posed an enormous threat to Evil Soul Masters.
The Evil Soul Masters wouldn't let her grow unchecked, and she certainly wouldn't wait until she became a Titled Douluo before taking action.
"Why do you ask?" Jiang Yan asked in puzzlement.
"My parents both died at the hands of Evil Soul Masters, so I swore to kill every last Evil Soul Master. But I know my abilities are limited, and I can't go that far," Ye Guyi said softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan reassured her, "In your future, you killed quite a few Evil Soul Masters, and you also broke through to the Super Douluo realm. Although the book didn't say so, I believe you could definitely break through to Limit Douluo, suppressing the Evil Soul Masters for almost an entire era."
Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, Qian Daoliu's mood improved considerably upon hearing that Ye Guyi could break through to Limit Douluo in the future.
[Qian Daoliu: I knew it! Our angel lineage would produce more powerful figures!]
[Qiangu Dieting: This era has Holy Angel Martial Souls too, but what use are they? They can't suppress the Evil Soul Masters at all.]
[Qian Daoliu: That's because they're too useless.]
[Yue Zhengen: ...]
[Yue Zhengyu: ...]
"Then why are there still Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later?" Ye Guyi hadn't expected that she could reach such heights in the future, but she was also puzzled.
Since she could become a Limit Douluo, why would there still be Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later?
"Before Huo Yuhao ascended to the Divine Realm, he dealt with the Holy Spirit Cult, killing almost all the Evil Soul Masters' upper ranks. That was one of the few things Huo Yuhao did right."
"If we're talking about the only ones who weren't killed, those would be the Holy Spirit Cult's two holy maidens: Tang Sect Master Tang Ya and Sea God Pavilion Master Ma Xiaotao. Who knows whether the Holy Spirit Cult rising from the ashes had anything to do with them?" Jiang Yan said.
"By the way, why do all the short videos have such a low opinion of Huo Yuhao?" Ye Guyi asked.
When she had browsed short videos earlier, she had found that the opinions of Huo Yuhao were uniformly negative.
"Because the double standards in what Huo Yuhao did actually surpassed even God King Tang's," Jiang Yan said.
"Could you tell me about them?" Ye Guyi asked.
"For instance, Huo Yuhao kept saying he loved only Wang Dong'er, but what happened? Not only did he have an ambiguous relationship with Ju Zi of the Sun Moon Empire, he also strung along Wang Qiu'er, the Auspicious Beast who had taken human form," Jiang Yan said.
Outside the Sky Screen, during the Peerless Tang Sect era, Wang Dong'er froze upon hearing this.
"How could I fall in love with someone like that?" Wang Dong'er said angrily. Ever since Jiang Yan exposed her identity as a girl,
Wang Dong'er had changed back into women's clothes and moved into the girls' dormitory.
Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the Sun Moon Empire, Ju Zi hadn't expected that she was connected to this child of destiny as well.
However, this also made Xu Tianran, who was beside Ju Zi, sense that something was wrong. Xu Tianran thought to himself,
Did something happen between those two?
This planted a seed of suspicion toward Ju Zi in Xu Tianran's heart.
At the same time, within the Sky Screen, Jiang Yan continued speaking.
"Not only that, there were plenty of other instances of Huo Yuhao's double standards, including how he handled the matter of Xu Yunhan."
"Xu Yunhan? Who is he?" Ye Guyi asked in puzzlement.
"Xu Yunhan is the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire. In name, he's Ju Zi and Xu Tianran's child, but in truth, he's Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao's child."
Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, Xu Tianran was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing this information.
"Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao's child? Became the crown prince of my Sun Moon Empire?"
His face darkened as he looked at Ju Zi. "Ju Zi, don't you owe me an explanation for this?"
Ju Zi immediately panicked. She didn't even know any Huo Yuhao right now, much less where this child had come from. How could she explain it?
"Your Highness, there must be more to this. I would never betray Your Highness."
"Perhaps Your Highness valued Huo Yuhao's talent, and that's why you had me do this," Ju Zi explained, thinking quickly in her desperation.
"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Tianran simply looked at Ju Zi.
He didn't believe he would do such a thing, but Ju Zi's words also made sense.
Still, there was one thing he could now be certain of: he successfully became emperor of the Sun Moon Empire later on.
That meant the Sun Moon Empire had unified the Douluo Continent under his leadership. At this thought, Xu Tianran's mood greatly improved.
"Let's keep watching and see whether things really are as you said," Xu Tianran said, looking at Ju Zi.
