Chapter 1714

~5 min read 925 words

Wang Zhenzhen asked another question, "Then, where should I go to learn Daoist arts?"

Su Xuan gave the answer, "Take me as your master!"

Wang Zhenzhen was stunned upon hearing this, not expecting Su Xuan to make such a request.

Immediately after, she thought of what happened on the rooftop last night.

Su Xuan used some unknown method to let her see the deceased Tianyou.

It was obvious that Su Xuan was no ordinary person.

"I need to think about this." Wang Zhenzhen did not make up her mind immediately.

Su Xuan expressed his understanding.

Afterwards, Wang Zhenzhen left Su Xuan's place.

Su Xuan sat alone on the sofa, holding a cup of tea.

He seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

"Is she returning soon?"

He felt the aura of Nuwa.

This meant that the time for Nuwa's return was drawing ever closer.

However, although the day of Nuwa's return was approaching.

There was still some time before she truly returned.

During this period, Su Xuan frequently saw a person in the newspapers.

That person was... Situ Fenren.

Situ Fenren was a clone of Yamamoto Kazuo, originally working as a deputy director at a television station; the earlier Miss Bauhinia beauty pageant was jointly organized by the television station and the Nitou Group.

At that time, Situ Fenren was in charge, and because he hitched a ride on the Nitou Group's big ship, he was the center of attention.

But unexpectedly, a heinous murder case followed.

The chairman of the Nitou Group, Tang Benjing, suddenly transformed into a murderer.

He remains at large to this day.

Naturally, there was no reason for the Miss Bauhinia beauty pageant to continue.

Situ Fenren was implicated in this affair, demoted, and became a scapegoat.

After becoming a scapegoat, Situ Fenren was extremely miserable.

He tried every possible way to fabricate news just to climb back up.

Unfortunately, the struggles within the television station were extremely intense.

Someone had gone to great lengths to get him demoted; how could they easily let him climb back up?

So they kept suppressing him.

However, Situ Fenren was not an ordinary person.

As a clone of Yamamoto Kazuo—who was no ordinary person—Situ Fenren was born with superpowers.

He could save dying people.

Situ Fenren did not know that the essence of his ability was actually transferring the fatal wounds of one person onto another; he just thought his ability was very powerful, even though he would get a headache every time he used it.

But after a coincidence where he saved someone and subsequently made the newspapers.

He saw an opportunity to use his superpowers to return to the upper echelons of the television station.

Thus, he began to use his ability unscrupulously.

This led to him quickly becoming a celebrity, and some even called him a savior.

As time went on, he gradually began to consider himself a savior.

And the price was that his headaches grew worse.

The reason was that there was a tumor in Situ Fenren's brain; every time he used his superpower, it caused the tumor to grow rapidly.

Su Xuan knew all of this but did not approach Situ Fenren.

Ma Xiaoling, however, saw the newspaper and took the initiative to find Su Xuan with it.

"According to what you said before, before the end of the world, the Demon Star descends to save the world. Now that this person named Situ Fenren has appeared, is this also the world's self-rescue program in operation?"

"Is he the true savior?"

Because Ma Xiaoling thought of what Su Xuan had said, she became curious and came here to ask him.

Su Xuan said, "He is just a person with superpowers."

"A savior? He can't even save himself."

"Is that so?" Ma Xiaoling was somewhat surprised after hearing Su Xuan's words.

But she did not say anything more.

After knowing that Su Xuan's true identity was the legendary Taishang Daozu, she had a natural sense of trust in his words; after all, an existence of Su Xuan's level would not bother to lie.

Su Xuan thought of another matter, "Calculating the time, the Demon Star should be born soon; he is the true savior, the key to saving the world!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling's gaze suddenly became solemn.

In the bar.

Situ Fenren, who had become a big star, felt no excitement.

At this moment, every few steps he took, he felt as if his head were splitting with pain.

In the past, it was precisely because using his superpower caused headaches that he subconsciously restrained himself from using it.

But now, he had no choice.

Having become a savior, in order to live up to the name, he displayed this ability to save people in front of others every day, which made his headache symptoms increasingly severe.

Today, he came to the bar to drown his sorrows; perhaps alcohol could numb him and make him feel a bit better.

"Yo, isn't this our savior?" A mocking voice rang out beside Situ Fenren's ear. Situ Fenren looked over and saw a bald middle-aged man.

He still didn't know the other person's name, but he remembered one thing.

That was, the title of "savior" first came from this person's mouth.

"It's you?" Situ Fenren was surprised.

The bald middle-aged man said, "It's me. You look like you're in very bad shape."

Situ Fenren's expression darkened, "That has nothing to do with you."

The bald man said, "Do you want to live?"

Situ Fenren's gaze narrowed.
