My future updates weekly.

Chapter 96 Let's get married!
Jiang He had only accepted Chi Zhenshan's dinner invitation by accident.

As a result, I've been so focused on my spiritual practice these past few days that I've completely forgotten about this matter.

If Chi Zhilei hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have remembered this.

At this moment, he changed into his own clothes, added a "freshly cleaned" comment, and instantly returned to normal. He left the school with Chi Zhilei and took a car to a villa area on the outskirts of the city.

This is a residential area for advanced superhumans. Not only are all the houses detached villas, but the ground is also covered with specially made stone slabs. Even a C-level superhuman might not be able to leave a mark even if they attack with all their might.

Each villa also has a dedicated "landing platform" on the upper floor.

Apart from Jiang He and others who travel by car, the vast majority of high-level superhumans take to the air, moving high and fast.

The driver dropped Jiang He and his companion off at the door. As soon as he opened the door and stepped into the villa, he heard Chi Zhenshan's voice coming from inside.

"The last dish will be ready soon. You can sit down and play on your phones for a while."

Jiang He followed Chi Zhilei as she changed her shoes and entered the house, only to be surprised to find Chi Zhenshan wearing an apron and chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

As the blade fell, the vegetables automatically floated off the cutting board and landed in the wok beside it. As the flames rose, the wok shook automatically, and salt grains flew up and fell like snowflakes, landing precisely and evenly on each leaf of vegetable, blending together with it.

It was as if it were being manipulated by an invisible hand; the whole process was smooth and effortless.

Meanwhile, five or six dishes were already laid out on the restaurant table, their aroma wafting through the covered steamers, filling the nostrils and making mouths water.

Jiang He's eyes widened: "This is..."

"My dad's cooking is amazing! He's an incredible cook, but he's usually quite busy and doesn't cook much," Chi Zhilei said boastfully, her face beaming. "You're in for a treat today!"

"..."

The point isn't the taste of the food, but rather that Chi Jin-san is cooking!
He is the mayor of Zhongzhou City, a top-tier A-level superhuman, and a powerful figure known as the "Power to Suppress Mountains and Rivers," whose strength is in no way inferior to Zhong Honglian's!

During the Arc Light attack, he was surrounded by numerous A-level superhumans, including many at the peak of A-level, yet he was not defeated on the spot, only severely injured...

This has already proven his ability.

This top-level expert is now behaving like a stay-at-home husband?
To be honest, his burly frame already looked rather cramped just by being squeezed into the kitchen.

"Cooking is also a form of cultivation. To possess physical strength on the order of millions, yet to precisely control one's power instead of smashing the house to pieces with a single strike, is already an incredibly terrifying level of control."

"Not to mention, every grain of salt is evenly distributed throughout the food, allowing the flavor to shine through..."

Old Jiang smiled and said, "Among A-level superhumans, he can indeed be considered a strong one."

Playing games is a form of spiritual practice, cooking is a form of spiritual practice, everything is a form of spiritual practice, right?

Jiang He glanced at Lao Jiang: "Then why don't you cook at home?"

"I can't." Old Jiang blinked innocently. "Cooking is one of the abilities I was stripped of. No matter how hard I try, I'll still end up making a pile of garbage..."

Can culinary skills be erased?

Jiang He looked at Old Jiang with suspicion.

He had reason to suspect that Lao Jiang was simply lazy and was using an eraser as an excuse.

On the other side, Chi Zhenshan seemed to sense something.

Just like You Chunsheng, with the physical qualities of an A-level superhuman, he doesn't need to pay special attention to easily detect other people's subtle actions.

He finished the last dish, carried the plate out of the kitchen, placed it on the dining table, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, I made quite a lot of food today. If your uncle is here, he can join us."

Jiang He: "..."

It's common knowledge, isn't it?

Old Jiang was quite straightforward; he immediately revealed himself, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

He didn't even bother to hide his face, but instead revealed his pre-set disguise, with a big smile: "Sorry to bother you, we've met before, I'm Lao Bai."

Chi Zhilei stared wide-eyed at Lao Jiang, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Could this white-haired man have been secretly following Jiang He all along, never leaving his side?

No wonder he always seems to show up at the same time in these repeated incidents...

To be honest, it's a bit perverted.

Chi Zhenshan, however, remained calm and composed.

He shared the same view as Zhong Honglian, believing that "Old Bai" was the first person with the gift of Word Magic.

It's quite normal that he might have been attacked in 1997, faked his death to escape, and then developed some psychological issues, making him unwilling to appear in front of others again.

Can understand.

At this point, all the dishes were served, and Chi Zhenshan invited everyone to eat.

Jiang He then picked up his chopsticks. As he put a slice of meat into his mouth, he immediately felt the deliciousness explode on his tongue, and countless taste buds groaned.

"Delicious!" Jiang He's eyes widened as he waved his chopsticks around, putting the food into his mouth again and again.

If he hadn't been mindful of the guests' reserve, he would have picked up the plate and started showing off.

A moment later, all the food on the table was gone.

Jiang He then patted his belly, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Chi Zhenshan a thumbs up.

"good to eat!"

"As long as you like it."

Chi Zhenshan was all smiles, just like a friendly uncle next door, without any airs.

After a satisfying meal, the plates, driven by spiritual power, were sent to the kitchen to be washed.

Old Jiang spoke first, getting down to business—

He asked Chi Zhenshan about the situation at the council, how many Ultra Beasts had been hunted down...

For him, this is the most important thing.

After all, Ultra Beasts become increasingly terrifying over time.

Childhood is relatively easy to manage, but if it comes to adulthood and involves other things... then it becomes very difficult to control.

After all, Jiang Zemin knew this very well.

Ultra Beasts are simply unwilling to coexist with humans, not unwilling to coexist with other life forms.

If the Demon Abyss doesn't mind this, they might very well cooperate with the demons and become one of the same forces!
That would lead to an apocalypse that is even more terrifying and despairing than what he experienced!
Facing the question of Lao Jiang.

Chi Zhenshan's answer was...

"do not know."

"After we submitted the information about Ultra Beasts to the council, the council did not give a response."

"Absolute Judgment allowed us to continue training, and there were no further arrangements."

“I asked someone to keep an eye on the parliament’s movements, and I heard that they haven’t started taking action yet.”

"I guess the prophet is still observing the situation..."

Is the prophet observing the situation?
Old Jiang frowned slightly.

This is not right.

Based on his understanding, once the most adept at concealment, Wanbian, is dealt with, the remaining six Ultimate Beasts will absolutely not be able to escape the Prophet's perception—at least not yet.

In a situation where things get more and more complicated the longer it drags on, how could the prophet just stand by and do nothing but observe?
unless……

Old Jiang's eyelids twitched.

Has something happened to the prophet?
……

Old Jiang fell into deep thought.

Chi Zhenshan then looked at Jiang He with a smile: "Little Jiang, how's the recent training camp going?"

“Very good,” Jiang He said.

In just a few days, I've been showered with S-level resources, and there are all sorts of things that can speed up my cultivation...

If he feels he can't do it, then no one can.

"That's good. Tomorrow is the second practical battle. We'll be exploring the Demon Abyss, so you'd better be careful."

Chi Zhenshan smiled and said, "By the way, the reason I invited you here today is because there's something I want to ask you..."

Tomorrow is the second real-world test?

That makes sense. Thursday is the day the Distorted Time Domain opens, so Wednesday will definitely be another practical exercise to give those students with lower energy levels, who didn't get a chance to fight during the monster attacks, a chance to shine...

Jiang He nodded slightly, and upon hearing Chi Zhenshan's words, he perked up again.

Chi Zhenshan is a top-tier A-level superhuman, second only to the thirteen members of the council in strength.

He invited me over for dinner and even cooked for me himself; it certainly wasn't just to chat.

Next, his real purpose was revealed!

Jiang He looked intently at Chi Zhenshan, who smiled and said, "Do you want to marry Zhilei?"

“…Huh?” Jiang He was stunned.

Chi Zhilei was also stunned for a moment, her face visibly turning red from her neck to her ears, and she stood up abruptly: "Dad?!!"
