Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Past Life Hongyan

"Fang Bai, oh Fang Bai, we’re going to meet again! All my previous actions against you ended in failure, but this time, let’s see if your luck is still as good! Some people say you’re our ’Wrathful Beauties’ nemesis and have told me to give up on this deal, but I won’t believe it!"

The black-clothed woman’s enchanting eyes flashed with a trace of evil Qi as she bent forward in an extremely alluring and tempting posture, her eyes glued to the high-powered binoculars, observing the situation in the room where Fang Bai was staying at the hotel opposite.

The curtains in Fang Bai’s room were drawn, not even a sliver of a gap visible, completely obscuring the view inside, but the black-clothed woman was patient. She pulled up a chair to sit down, watching through the binoculars continuously.

As dawn was about to break, the black-clothed woman perked up, finally noticing the lights in Fang Bai’s room turn on, with the vague silhouette of a tall and upright man becoming visible.

"You’ve finally appeared..."

The black-clothed woman’s seductive eyes narrowed slightly as she observed Fang Bai’s room for a moment, then straightened up and stretched languorously, revealing a section of her snow-white and delicate waist.

"Can’t let your trip to America be too comfortable. Today, I will create some minor troubles for you and see how you handle it..."

A playful smile appeared on the black-clothed woman’s lips as she murmured to herself, watching the man’s silhouette in the hotel room across.

......

Having returned from a battle with the leaders of the four major Meta-Humans, Fang Bai, for some reason, always felt somewhat restless, as if something was about to happen to him or near him.

Fang Bai always trusted his instincts. After experiencing this feeling, he tensed and immediately diffused his Divine Sense in all directions, searching for anything suspicious within a kilometer’s radius.

Soon, Fang Bai caught sight of a black-clothed woman using high-powered binoculars to spy on him from a hotel across. However, what puzzled Fang Bai was that while the woman seemed like a Martial Artist, he could not detect any fluctuations of a Martial Artist’s aura from her.

As Fang Bai’s Divine Sense swept over the black-clothed woman’s body, he noticed a jade thumb ring on her left thumb and also the array runes inscribed on it.

The jade thumb ring emitted a lustrous glow; at a quick glance, it seemed no different from a common jade thumb ring, but in Fang Bai’s eyes, it was a treasure.

"A mid-grade Spiritual Artifact... Such an object not only serves as a storage space but also conceals the fluctuations of a Martial Artist’s aura... Where did this woman get such a treasure?"

Fang Bai’s eyes lit up when he saw the jade thumb ring on the black-clothed woman’s hand.

Since being reborn in this world, Fang Bai had seen a few Spiritual Artifacts, including a Space Ring he had helped Wu De re-refine. The other artifacts he possessed included the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, a Space Ring, and the Five Elements Needles.

Among them, the grades of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, and the Five Elements Needles were still beyond Fang Bai’s current ability to discern, and he was unable to unleash their full power, but it was clear that the grades of these three artifacts were extremely high.

The Space Ring that Fang Bai currently had was already stuffed full with Essence Stones, Spiritual Medicine, and other items, with a considerable amount of Essence Stones that he even had to temporarily hide in a secret place, unable to carry them on his person.

Therefore, Fang Bai was in urgent need of a storage Spiritual Artifact with a larger space area. Although he possessed the skill for Artifact Refining, due to his insufficient Cultivation Level, he still couldn’t refine and create storage Spiritual Artifacts like the Space Ring for the time being.

The jade thumb ring worn on the finger of the woman in black had a spatial area many times greater than the space ring on Fang Bai’s hand. If Fang Bai could get it, he would be able to store all his items inside and carry them on his person.

Fang Bai was indeed somewhat tempted.

In Fang Bai’s previous life in the Cultivation World and even the Immortal Realm, many cultivators liked to rob others along the way, claiming others’ treasures as their own—this was a common occurrence.

Robbery was something Fang Bai had done plenty of times in his previous life, but his targets were always people who were enemies or wicked by nature. He would not touch other people’s belongings, as this was one of his principles in life.

However, the way the woman in black stealthily spied on him, she was certainly no friend but an enemy. So, even if Fang Bai did take action to snatch her jade thumb ring, he would feel no psychological burden.

The woman in black spied towards Fang Bai for a moment and then slowly raised her head. The moment Fang Bai’s divine sense swept over her face and he saw her features, his heart jolted, and he almost cried out.

The facial features, figure, and temperament of the woman in black were very much like those of a beloved friend in Fang Bai’s past life. Even the enchanting charm in her eyes was strikingly similar.

"It’s so alike... too alike... for a moment I thought the ’Peach Fairyland Empress’ had descended into this world..."

After a while, the enamored Fang Bai sighed lightly. The images of those friends from his past life flickered through his mind like fleeting rays of light.

Having almost been destroyed in body and soul after being besieged by nine Supreme Immortal Emperors from the nine great domains of the Immortal Realm, only his residual soul seizing another body allowed him to be reborn in this world. Were those beloved from the nine Immortal Domains still safe?

Knowing those friends, some with resolute characters, would immediately seek justice from the nine Supreme Immortal Emperors upon his fall, the result was unpredictable.

Whereas those with more patient temperaments would silently accumulate strength, waiting for an opportunity to avenge him.

Divine sense diffusion is very draining on the mind, so after a while, Fang Bai retracted his divine sense from the woman in black.

Fang Bai initially wanted to take the spatial ring from the woman in black, but now he had lost that desire. The woman in black was too reminiscent of his past life’s beloved friends, and, whether she was enemy or friend, Fang Bai felt a reluctance to lay a hand on her.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door behind him. Fang Bai knew it was Dragon Maiden calling him out for breakfast, so he went to open the door.

"Instructor Fang, are you preoccupied?"

Women are always sensitive. After Fang Bai opened the door and Dragon Maiden saw his somewhat distant expression, she couldn’t help but ask.

Fang Bai said with a smile, "Yes! I was thinking, if we don’t get first place today, will your grandfather scold us when we return to Yanjing? Especially me, the instructor. I boasted with a slap on my chest before coming, and if we don’t get first place, I’d be too ashamed to face anyone!"

Dragon Maiden chuckled and shook her head, saying, "No. Actually, even before coming to America, Grandpa had predicted that it wouldn’t be easy for us to get first place. It’s okay if we don’t get first. This trip to America turned out to be quite profitable. Grandpa would only be happy to know about it!"

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "The members sent by various meta-human organizations this time are stronger than in previous years. Long Da and Long Er both said it exceeded their expectations. They’ve talked privately and are not holding out much hope for first place anymore. Aiming to enter the top three would fulfill the goals of this trip!"
