Shen Qingshan then introduced the two of them.
Jiang Li nodded, not paying too much attention.
"Elder Shen, Saint Son Jiang, please come to my manor for a chat. I have something important to discuss!" After some pleasantries, the Eighth Prince said to Shen Qingshan and Jiang Li.
Shen Qingshan didn't answer, but looked directly at Jiang Li.
"Senior Shen, you go ahead. I'll wander around Sky Cloud City!" Jiang Li then said to Shen Qingshan.
He had already used the Life Script System to see Shen Qingshan's recent turns of events. There was no bloodshed, but rather significant opportunities.
There was no need to worry about Elder Shen's safety.
Shen Qingshan pondered for a moment, then agreed.
"Saint Son Jiang, I'll send some men with you. Although Sky Origin City is very safe, accidents are inevitable!" Lin Jingyang then said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li ultimately refused. He was going to collect opportunities in the surroundings, not just wander around.
Seeing Jiang Li refuse, Lin Jingyang didn't say much. He just gave Jiang Li a token that could be used to mobilize city guards, and to a certain extent, could deter others.
This fellow is quite sensible, Jiang Li toyed with the token in his hand and shook his head.
Immediately after, Jiang Li put away the token and began to collect opportunities from others in Sky Origin City.
Sky Origin City was immensely vast, spanning thousands of miles. It was nothing like a city, but rather a small country.
All sorts of architecture, customs, delicacies, spiritual treasures, and exotic items were available.
Jiang Li collected a lot of resources along the way, and his knowledge also grew considerably.
"Little beggar, get lost. Begging is not allowed here. Go somewhere else!" Just as Jiang Li was happily collecting opportunities nearby, he suddenly heard a harsh voice from not far away.
"Wuwuwu... I'm not a beggar... Please, I'm so tired, just let me stay here for a while, I'll leave after resting!" Then, a pitiful voice rang out again.
It made one's heart ache with pity.
Many people around were watching with schadenfreude.
"This little girl is so pitiful. I heard she's been here for three days, hasn't eaten a bite, and hasn't begged either. Such backbone..."
"I think her life is quite tough. She hasn't starved to death yet... Why don't one of you take her home? Perhaps you'll accumulate some good fortune..."
"Forget it, taking a beggar home. I'd be too embarrassed..."
...
Jiang Li was about to leave when he heard the discussions of the people nearby.
To be able to shout so loudly after not eating for three days... This... might be an unusual character, Jiang Li's heart stirred. He decided to go and see.
Immediately after, Jiang Li walked towards the direction of the little beggar.
Not far ahead.
In front of an inn.
A big man was driving away a little girl in tattered clothes.
The little girl was about 13-14 years old, dirty all over, but her eyes looked extremely bright and spirited.
Her face was also exquisitely beautiful, but it was completely hidden by her messy hair.
Other than Jiang Li, no one noticed the little beggar's appearance.
People around pointed at her, their mouths filled with unpleasant words.
This... could she be a formidable character? Jiang Li's heart stirred.
Forget it, let's use the system to check. Jiang Li directly activated the Life Script System.
[Name]: Lin Xue'er
[Realm]: None
[Destiny]: Heavenly Mandated Protagonist (Purple Gold), Empress Reincarnation (Purple Gold), Peerless Beauty (Purple Gold), Ice and Snow Immortal Body (Purple Gold), Turning Calamity into Fortune (Purple), Utterly Beautiful (Purple)...
[Affection]: 0
[Life Script]: Protagonist of "Ice Empress," reincarnation of an Upper Realm Ice Empress, possessing the Empress Dao Fruit. After enduring countless hardships, she finally defied fate and embarked on the path of an Empress once more.
[Recent Turn]: None
Hiss... Heavenly Mandated Protagonist, Empress Reincarnation, all purple and purple-gold destinies. She's actually a major female protagonist.
Looking at the string of top-tier destinies... Jiang Li was stunned, not quite processing it.
She was an Empress who had not yet begun to rise.
Why not just kill her now? Jiang Li had no interest in playing an Empress-raising game right now.
When he achieved supreme realm, what kind of women would he not have...
An Empress, he didn't want that.
Since that was the case, it would be best to eliminate her now, when she was at her weakest.
Killing her would grant him system rewards.
Moreover, he could get an Ice and Snow Immortal Body for free...
And refining her Empress Dao Fruit would be a huge profit...
A leap to the sky... A flicker of excitement surged in Jiang Li's heart.
As soon as the thought arose in Jiang Li's mind, he felt a terrifying aura within Lin Xue'er.
It seemed capable of destroying everything.
This aura seemed to have appeared inexplicably, firmly locking onto Jiang Li.
Hiss... Terrifying! This Upper Realm Empress is too terrifying! Jiang Li felt a deep sense of oppression.
He felt that if he really made a move, there would absolutely be unforeseen consequences.
Alas, I'll reluctantly play the Empress-raising game then. Jiang Li took a deep breath.
This is really not the outcome I wanted.
"Slap slap slap!" Just as Jiang Li was preparing to subdue the little girl, a sound of slapping echoed from the front.
"You scum who only know how to bully the weak, this is just a small lesson for you. If I see you doing this again next time, it won't be so easy to resolve!" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"That's the Eldest Daughter of the City Lord's Mansion. Those people are really unlucky to have been targeted by the Eldest Daughter of the City Lord's Mansion..."
"I heard that the Eldest Daughter of the City Lord's Mansion is kind-hearted, hates evil, and is as beautiful as a celestial being. Seeing her now, it is indeed true..."
"Of course, this young lady has contributed a lot to the peace of Sky Origin City..."
...
...
Many onlookers nearby were discussing, their faces filled with fervent admiration for the suddenly appearing Eldest Daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Li also looked in that direction.
[Name]: Chen Lingyue
[Realm]: Saint Realm Eighth Heaven.
[Physique]: Wood Spirit Body.
[Destiny]: Great Sage Potential (Purple), Outstanding Family Background (Blue), Regional Hegemon (Blue).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Ice Empress," Eldest Daughter of the Sky Origin City Lord's Mansion. She is kind-hearted, hates evil, and has some minor interactions with the Ice Empress.
[Affection]: 0
"Little sister, would you be willing to come to the City Lord's Mansion with me? I will take good care of you!" Chen Lingyue came to Lin Xue'er's side and said affectionately, her eyes full of pity.
Chen Lingyue was originally out playing nearby. She didn't expect to witness such a scene and of course couldn't stand by.
There were many guards behind Chen Lingyue, glaring at the surrounding people, protecting Chen Lingyue.
Lin Xue'er's eyes were tearful. She looked at Chen Lingyue in front of her with a dazed expression, feeling a faint warmth.
"Big sister, I..." Lin Xue'er sniffled and said softly.
"Wait, you want to take her away? Did you ask my opinion?" Just then, a cold voice sounded from not far away.
