Chapter 765: Chapter 765

Once a Passionate Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai was surrounded by fairy consorts, each one of celestial beauty.

Towards every woman by his side, he was exceedingly indulgent, loving deeply.

Therefore, in his past life, someone said, "When a woman sheds a tear, Fang Bai’s heart softens," highlighting Fang Bai’s vulnerability.

Of course, the "woman" in "When a woman sheds a tear" referred to the women Fang Bai loved deeply.

Women unrelated to Fang Bai could cry to their deaths, yet Fang Bai would not bother with them.

Whether it was the Hu Baimei he met in America or the Linghu Qianjiao before him now, both reminded Fang Bai of the "Peach Fairyland Empress" of his past life, as well as the many moments when they roamed the nine great heavens of the Immortal Realm together.

The tearful, pitiable Linghu Qianjiao resembled the Peach Fairyland Empress’ frail side, and this scene touched the softest part of Fang Bai’s heart.

Fang Bai sighed inwardly and said to Linghu Qianjiao, "Alright, I promise not to kill your sister! But if she comes to annoy me again, and I catch her, I won’t be polite. I won’t kill her, but a harsh lesson is inevitable..."

Linghu Qianjiao responded, "Mr. Fang, as long as you don’t kill her, any form of punishment is acceptable! In fact, I wish Mr. Fang could tame her into being obedient, to prevent her from causing trouble and stirring up issues in the future!"

As the two talked, Alian, who was beside them, seemed a bit anxious, tugging on Fang Bai’s sleeve and looking up at him, "Big brother, I want to go home, I want to find Grandpa!"

Fang Bai smiled and patted Alian on the head, "Okay, I will take you home now! Miss Linghu, if you have any issues in the future, you can find me at Yanjing Hospital... We shall meet again!"

With that, he took Alian’s little hand and together they herded the sheep, walking towards Shigong Village.

Having walked a few steps away, Fang Bai suddenly remembered something, turned back to Linghu Qianjiao, handed her a medicine bottle, and pointed to the bodies of the bandits, "It’s not good to leave the bodies here , sprinkle some of the powder from the bottle on them, and no trace will be left at the scene..."

Linghu Qianjiao nodded, took the medicine bottle and watched Fang Bai and Alian walk away. She sighed softly, approached the bandits’ bodies slain by her flying knife, and sprinkled the powder on each one of them.

In a moment, the bodies of the dozen or so bandits vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

"Yanjing Hospital... Could he be a doctor?"

Linghu Qianjiao watched as the bodies turned into wisps of light smoke, dispersing between heaven and earth, and felt slightly moved. She glanced towards the direction in which Fang Bai and Alian had disappeared, a trace of wonder flashing through her eyes.

Fang Bai, leading Alian and the flock of sheep, returned to "Shigong", arriving at Alian’s home.

After encountering the bandits on the hillside outside the village, Alian told her grandfather Shi Dashan once she got home. Shi Dashan turned pale when he heard the story, immediately informed the village chief, who in turn notified the local police, drawing their serious attention.

When police came to investigate at Shi Dashan’s home, Fang Bai showed them his "Dragon Guard" credentials and informed them that the issue with the bandits had been handled. Recognizing what "Dragon Guard" stood for, the police respectfully exchanged a few words with Fang Bai before leaving.

"Elder Shi, when was that Shigong Mountain outside your village discovered? The stone bow on the mountain, is there any legend associated with it?"

Before leaving Shigong Village, Fang Bai had a chat with Alian’s grandfather, Shi Dashan, about Shigong Mountain. He knew that the massive stone bow on the mountain was more than just a bow-shaped rock; it certainly held many secrets.

"Regarding Shigong Mountain... its history predates our Shigong Village, otherwise the village would not bear this name. As for the stone bow on Shigong Mountain, there’s a local legend that says the bow was left in the mortal world by an ancient deity known as Hou Yi, and it’s a Divine Artifact..."

As Shi Dashan spoke, he gazed distantly toward Shigong Mountain outside the village, where the outline of the mountain could faintly be seen.

When Fang Bai heard the name "Hou Yi," his heart stirred.

To ordinary people, the legendary figures or objects in this world are mere fantasies or fabrications, not real, but Fang Bai believed that, although the world seemed ordinary, it was actually filled with too many secrets. Some of the figures or objects from legends might indeed exist; they just hadn’t been proven yet.

After Fang Bai usurped his current body and was reborn, he inherited all the original owner’s information and learned that the aforementioned Hou Yi was a powerful figure from the ancient legends of this world, known for shooting down nine suns and called the "Archer God."

If the legend were true, then to shoot down nine enormous stars like the suns, the bow and arrows Hou Yi wielded must have contained immense power, allowing them to traverse billions of miles through space to instantly destroy the scorching stars.

"Heh, Hou Yi and his bow and arrows are just legends, not to be taken as fact! The stone bow on Shigong Mountain is a naturally formed ordinary rock, it simply resembles a bow!"

Shi Dashan continued.

Fang Bai smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Merely by the faint Essence Energy lingering around the stone bow, Fang Bai could be certain it was not any ordinary rock. Regardless of any connection between the stone bow and the legend, Fang Bai had decided to climb the mountain to see for himself since his purpose in venturing out was to explore and seek opportunities.

Meeting Shi Dashan and Alian was also a twist of fate. Seeing that Shi Dashan was in poor health and had difficulty walking, unable to take care of Alian, Fang Bai gave each of them an Elixir to perform Marrow Cleansing on them.

Although Alian didn’t possess an Innate Spiritual Root, her aptitude was much better than the average person. Fang Bai left her a set of Cultivation Techniques and martial skills, then stayed a few days to give her guidance before he drifted away.

Whether Alian could become a Martial Artist and embark on the Martial Dao using the Cultivation Techniques and martial skills left by Fang Bai was up to her own destiny.

After taking the Elixir given by Fang Bai, Shi Dashan felt his body rid of all ailments overnight, rejuvenated, and he would later become the longest-lived person for miles around.

Of course, these are all events that happened later on.

Having left Shigong Village, Fang Bai traversed mountains and ridges to arrive at the foot of Shigong Mountain.

The location of Shigong Mountain was very peculiar, not connected to other peaks, and its mountain body was nearly vertical at ninety degrees. Surrounded by deep gorges over thirty feet wide and nearly a kilometer deep, it was impossible for anyone to cross the gorges and climb to the summit of Shigong Mountain.

This was probably also the reason why the stone bow on Shigong Mountain remained well-preserved.

Of course, a kilometer-deep gorge and the steep mountain were no match for Fang Bai, who had already advanced to the realm of a Heaven Level Martial
