On the way, Li Yitong drove like a nervous rookie, her eyes glued to the road ahead, not even daring to glance at the rearview mirror.

Chen Zheng sat beside her with a helpless expression, occasionally having to remind her about cars approaching from behind.

The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward.

It wasn't until they turned into Tianxi Bay that Li Yitong finally spoke.

"Chen Zheng, are you here to visit a friend?"

Chen Zheng waved his hand. "No, I just have a house here. You're my only friend in Magic Capital!"

Li Yitong's face turned red again.

Then, she asked, "What number is your house? I can take you right to the door."

"I'm at..."

Chen Zheng stopped mid-sentence. Damn it, what was the number again? The system never told me!

"What's wrong?" Li Yitong glanced over, confused when Chen Zheng suddenly went quiet.

Chen Zheng scratched his head. "Uh, it seems I've forgotten the number. I was just planning on coming over to take a look today..."

Li Yitong laughed. "Do you have your key on you? The number should be on the electronic card!"

Chen Zheng slapped his forehead and quickly pulled out his key to look. "Yes, yes! Number 188!"

Li Yitong nodded. "Alright!"

A few moments later, the car stopped in front of the villa at number 188.

"Chen Zheng, I... I'll just drop you here. I have some things to take care of at home. I'm heading back to Yunzhou in a couple of days. I'll contact you then?" Li Yitong said, flustered, though she didn't even know why she felt so nervous.

Chen Zheng smiled. "I was going to invite you in for a bit, but since you're busy, you should go. Just call me when you're about to head back!"

He didn't plan on returning to Yunzhou immediately; after all, he still had a plot of land to go see. His family's business was real estate, so he definitely had to see if he could generate some revenue for them.

After all, Dahong wasn't going to be confined to a small place like Yunzhou forever. He had the Qi Group's help in the Imperial Capital, and in Magic Capital, Chen Zheng planned to use this plot of land to pave the way.

Chen Zheng wasn't too concerned with business himself, but Wei Zixuan was a powerhouse, and he had to help his wife out.

After watching Li Yitong leave, Chen Zheng walked into the villa.

The place was indeed quite nice. Although it wasn't as large as his villa in Yun City and lacked a smart butler, it was still considered a top-tier luxury residence in Magic Capital, likely costing at least seventy to eighty million.

The villa had three floors above ground and two below. There was an elevator in the living room, which was very convenient. The entire first floor consisted of the living room and a maid's room. The second and third floors were all bedrooms, while the entertainment facilities were in the basement.

The most unique feature was a rooftop platform that had been converted into a swimming pool. He could throw a pool party there sometime, which sounded like a lot of fun.

After touring the villa, Chen Zheng returned to the living room. He settled onto the sofa to watch a movie while picking up the documents beside him.

"Shitan Village, huh..."

Chen Zheng looked up its location. The village was on the outskirts of Magic Capital, a two-hour drive away.

Wouldn't it be quite profitable if it were transformed into a holiday resort?

Chen Zheng briefly pondered the idea before dismissing it. It's better to let a strong businesswoman like Wei Zixuan worry about these things!

Setting the documents aside, he began to explore the system's new update: the System Space.

He closed his eyes, and with a single thought, the phone in his hand suddenly vanished. He could feel it had been sent into a wondrous, separate space.

"Whoa! This is really convenient!"

He closed his eyes again, and the phone returned to his hand.

Over the next while, Chen Zheng tested it repeatedly. He stuffed the TV, a table, and even the bathtub into the System Space before pulling them back out again.

"This is so handy! I won't even need to pack luggage when I go out anymore!"

Afterward, he went out into the yard to test the Cultivation Technique the system had rewarded him with.

It was called Tai Chi Bagua, but in reality, it was a Cultivation Technique for manipulating Inner Strength. It earned its name from the user's ability to form a Bagua symbol in the air with their power.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly channeled his Inner Strength. Soon, a translucent thread shot out from his fingertip.

Can it extend ten meters?

Chen Zheng controlled the thread and casually flicked his right hand. A branch on a distant tree instantly snapped! He then used his Inner Strength to wrap around the branch and bring it back before him.

"Hiss..."

Looking at the cut, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath. The surface was incredibly smooth, as if it had been sliced by a razor-sharp blade.

If it can cut through solid wood, it can cut through stone!

He then tested it on a distant iron railing. The cross-section was just as smooth.

"Awesome!"

Next, he tested the various other capabilities of the Inner Strength thread. He lifted and lowered various objects, feeling like an acrobat performing a telekinesis act.

Finally, Chen Zheng walked over to the pond in the center of the residential community and cast out the Inner Strength thread, wrapping it around a rockery that weighed several tons.

The rockery was successfully lifted, consuming only a little more of his Inner Strength.

My god, this is beyond human! This is too awesome!

Chen Zheng was stunned all over again. If I'm this powerful now, what will I be like in the future? Don't tell me I'll end up riding clouds and becoming an immortal in the heavens?!

Chen Zheng scratched his head.

He felt, however, that the possibility wasn't low. After all, if something as miraculous as traditional martial arts existed in this world, why couldn't cultivation and immortality exist too?

But he didn't dwell on it. He would just take it one step at a time. With the system on his side, his future was bound to be extraordinary.

After he finished his tests, Chen Zheng went back to the living room sofa to continue watching his movie.

***

Li Yitong returned home.

The moment she stepped into the front hall, she saw that everyone was gathered there. When her second uncle saw her, his eyes lit up with a strange, eager light, and his excited expression made it look as if he wanted to eat her.

"Yi Tong is back! Quick, come and sit down!" Li Cangmu beckoned enthusiastically, while Li Cangyun, at his side, also smiled and nodded.

Li Yitong was completely dumbfounded.

What is going on?!

For as long as she could remember, her second uncle had never once looked pleasant in front of her father. What was happening now? And her father was actually smiling... with such a revolting grin.

Li Yitong felt that something was very wrong.

"Did you... eat something bad?"

Just then, Li Yifeng rushed over, crying and shouting, "My dear sister! I can't bear to see you go! Dad and Second Uncle want to marry you off to Grandmaster Chen!"

Li Yitong's eyes flew wide open in shock.

At that moment, Li Cangmu slammed his hand on the table and roared angrily, "What do you mean, 'marry her off'?!"

"As long as Grandmaster Chen agrees, our Yi Tong will be his!"

Li Cangyun nodded vigorously. "That's right! We're not asking for much!"

Li Yitong was speechless.
