Chapter 577: Return (4600 added, asking for monthly votes at the end of the month)

Just as Aaron was thinking about whether to admit it, a big man with a purple face burst in stormily from outside: "Grandmother... I heard that there is..."

He looked at Aaron, and was first startled by that Dragon Head Mask, then a cold sneer appeared on his face: "Again? Ever since that Legend battle back then, I don't know how many people in the Jianghu have liked to put on a dragon head mask to pretend to be Qinglong Laoda... but their ends are all miserable!"

"Baiting Tian?!"

Bai Laotaijun said with a stern expression: "Still not apologizing to the Venerable Lord?"

"Grandmother, why must you..." Baiting Tian, the leader of the White Snake Gang, looked at Bai Laotaijun, appearing very aggrieved.

"This treasury is my private property; what I choose to do with it is none of your concern."

Aaron did not stand on ceremony either; he grabbed the little girl's small hand and channeled a thread of Dharma Power into her.

It is worth mentioning that although the Golden Fish Gang was wiped out, a new force has risen at the pier, named the 'Crab Gang', which continues to control the fishermen and collect fees.

He still did not intend to give the other party a helping hand! After all, there were too many variables!

"Forget it..."

From this point on, he would have nothing more to do with the remnants of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

Aaron glanced at the little girl she was holding and suddenly became interested: "Who is she?"

Could it be... the real thing?

Anyway, he was not planning to catch those ordinary fish anymore, so he just said he had bought a boat to tour the scenery of Taize Lake.

As it turned out, the cave on 'Qianlong Island' already had traces of other people living there, and many places had been destroyed.

Aaron looked at the city gate, which seemed not to have changed much, and felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

In the eyes of others, the Qiu Ran Ke of those years should have already died of old age...

If this little girl had a Spirit Root...

What's more...

At this thought, beads of cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

At this moment, he was startled by Aaron, who had suddenly come over.

More than forty years have passed since 'Qiu Ran Ke' wiped out the entire Cao Family, and the events of that year have long been forgotten by most people.

Hmm...

This immediately let Aaron know how a true Immortal Cultivator should cultivate.

Aaron swaggered into the city to look around without attracting the slightest attention.

When Aaron went to buy a boat, a smiling manager had also come to tell him the rules.

This little girl was carved from pink jade and was ice-snow cute; if not for the lack of a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, she would have almost made him think he was seeing Xiaonannan again.

A moment later, the feedback from the Spirit Eye Technique returned.

"Alright, our fate ends here. After parting today, we will likely never meet again. Take care of yourselves."

Aaron waved his hand, leaped lightly over the wall, and drifted away like a cyan cloud.

"Venerable Lord..."

"Time is the greatest director; it will surely arrange a perfect curtain call and ending for every actor... except for me!"

"Come here and let me see."

Baiting Tian and the beautiful woman did not understand why, so they held the little girl to comfort her.

This bit of interest made Aaron want to investigate.

"Grandmother?"

And among the prefecture city and the Fish Market, those who still recognized Fang Yu should also be mostly dead...

Bai Laotaijun walked over and slapped Baiting Tian loudly across the face, then apologized to Aaron: "I have failed to discipline him properly, I ask the Venerable Lord to forgive me..."

Bai Laotaijun, who had not yet received an answer, hurriedly chased after him, with Baiting Tian, whose cheek was swollen high, following behind in a disheveled state.

For the place he had stayed the longest, he still had some feelings after all.

Aaron poled the boat and visited the several islands he had once used as reserve bases in turn.

This made Aaron guess that he had likely picked up something like a Spirit Stone.

In the Cave Abode.

This little girl had no Spirit Root at all; she was just a mortal!

'It's actually a blank slate... Alright... I thought too much; I am indeed not the protagonist.'

Time flies, and even Qinglong Laoda has become a Legend...

Taize Prefecture.

'Hmm... according to the writing style of popular cheesy web novels... if I meet this fated girl at this time... she should at least have a Different Spirit Root, or maybe even a Heavenly Spirit Root!'

Then he discovered that when he held the jade stone and meditated, running his cultivation technique would automatically absorb the Spirit Qi within the jade, causing his cultivation progress to skyrocket.

Because he had an extraordinary bearing and looked like a scholar—and it is common for scholars to study and practice Wu, and to roam the world with a sword—the Crab Gang manager smiled and said a few more words, testing Aaron's background before taking his leave.

Aaron was noncommittal about this.

Anyway, he had always covered his face, so he was not afraid of his identity being leaked at all.

Fortunately, Aaron had not counted on these things; he restocked his firewood, rice, oil, and salt, found another deserted island, and began to live in seclusion to cultivate.

This is the legendary 'Spirit Fish', which is of great benefit even to Immortal Cultivators.

Only Bai Laotaijun seemed to have guessed something, a faint trace of disappointment in her old eyes.

'Qianlong No. 3 Island' was the same...

'This corrupt practice is quite tenacious, too...'

While casting the spell, a deep, resonant male voice seemed to ring in his ears from the Underworld: "Rare... Epic... Golden Legend!!!"

Baiting Tian, who had followed, hurriedly said: "This is my daughter... I named her Nishang!"

Although the supplies buried on Qianlong No. 2 Island were safe, they had long since rotted away...

Aaron sat cross-legged and first took out that piece of jade rich in Spirit Qi.

Furthermore, after this time, he truly did not intend to disturb the Bai Family again.

At this moment, Aaron finally had the strength and the confidence to begin waiting to catch the Red Blood Carp King.

And by using the Spirit Stone to cultivate, the speed was actually several times faster than his own hard cultivation in the past!

Even so, Aaron still used his Disguise Technique to slightly alter his appearance before coming to Sanshui Wharf, buying a boat, and sailing into Taize Lake.

After all...

Under the gaze of Baiting Tian, that woman fearfully sent the little girl to stand before Aaron.

Aaron crooked his finger.

"This lightness skill..."

Baiting Tian's eyes were almost popping out: "Could it be... is he truly that legendary person? Grandmother..."

And the Spirit Qi within the jade was also rapidly decreasing.

Aaron turned around and walked out of the storehouse.

The generation growing up now only knows of the newly risen Li Family and Zhang Family in the city... as for the former overlords of Taize, the Cao Family, and the even more distant Liu Family, perhaps only in old piles of paper and among a few sparse elders do they still have any impression.

Aaron walked out of the storehouse, passed through the back garden, and saw a beautiful woman holding a little girl, seemingly admiring the flowers.

He had seen his grandmother take action several times, and each time she cleanly and efficiently dealt with troublesome enemies; he never expected that such a great expert would be so servile before this Mysterious person!

"Yes!"

Aaron inwardly grumbled to himself and let go of the little girl's hand.

Baiting Tian was astonished.

Bai Laotaijun sighed faintly: "In the end, it is the descendants who lack fortune... This lord and I... that is a very distant story..."

Once he had figured out the Spirit Stone, he turned his attention to that Black Iron Leaf...

Today's extra update is finished.
