Global alert! SSSSS-class overlord released from prison!

That sound...

Instantly, it awakened Xiang Fan's dormant memories.

In some deep corner of my mind, the voice grew clearer and more familiar.

It feels like we were together day and night, and that we were together for several years!

Before Xiang Fan could think it through, the voice rang out again, carrying a sense of vicissitude and heaviness.

"The Overlord Body is a bloodline inheritance of the Xiang family; only those with the purest bloodline can awaken it!"

"However, the Overlord Body contains a lot of malevolent energy, so it is necessary to cultivate with a woman with the Nine Cauldrons Body to neutralize the malevolent energy with her special physique."

"Once I finish my dual cultivation with the nine women, I will have complete mastery of the Overlord Body."

"At that time, with the 'Heaven-Reaching Painting' and the 'Overlord Seal,' you can break through the final bottleneck and reach the pinnacle!"

"Only then will you, your father, have the chance to see me again!"

"My child, keep going. I hope that one day I can see you again..."

The sound slowly faded away, but Xiang Fan's eyes were filled with shock!

To be able to store sound in paintings and seals, and preserve it for such a long time, requires immense power.

Not to mention, he is already at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and is only one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster.

Once you fully master the Overlord Body, you'll be at least at the peak of the Grandmaster level!

They might even get a glimpse into the realm of Martial Gods!

Even so, he still needed the "Painting of Heaven" and the "Seal of the Overlord" to have a chance to see his father!

Could it be that there was an even stronger force behind the separation between me and my parents back then?

Just then, Xiang Fan's long-buried memories finally began to stir.

He seemed to remember a burly man who had tossed him high into the air and caught him steadily, laughing heartily.

The man lay on the ground, acting like a horse to amuse him.

The man embraced him and broke through the crowd.

The next moment, the memory abruptly ended.

It seems that from that time on, all memories of this man were completely severed.

Unbeknownst to him, Xiang Fan felt two tears slide down his face.

He cried.

He fiercely wiped away his tears and gripped the seal tightly in his hand.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, and no matter what terrifying existence stands between him and his father.

But as long as he can cultivate with the nine women and completely master the Overlord Body.

With the help of paintings and seals, I will break through the bottleneck and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!

At that time, the whole truth will come to light!

I will also be able to see my father again!

Thinking of this, Xiang Fan felt a surge of heroic spirit.

An aura of dominance over the world unconsciously emanated from him!

No matter what obstacles lie ahead, he will overcome them all, and no one can stop him!

After carefully putting away the scroll and seal, Xiang Fan did not immediately check out and leave.

The Wei family had long been dissatisfied with him, and no one from the Crimson Dragon Palace had come yet, so the cooperation could not be reached for the time being.

Going back to the Wei family now would just be asking for trouble, seeing all those cold faces.

It just so happens that this hotel's main attraction is its hot springs. Since he went to prison, his nerves have been on edge for a single moment.

Why not take this opportunity to enjoy yourself?

Soon, Xiang Fan appeared by the hot spring pool.

The rising steam, mixed with a faint smell of sulfur, indicates that this is a genuine natural hot spring.

Xiang Fan casually found a quiet spot and stepped inside.

As luck would have it, there were already two people in this quiet pool.

It was President Chu and the short-haired woman I had seen before!

The two were wearing swimsuits, both one-piece, which accentuated their figures.

The short-haired woman had a toned and well-proportioned figure with clearly defined muscles, indicating that she was skilled at exercise.

As for President Chu, her two long, straight, jade-like legs appeared even whiter and more delicate after being soaked in the hot spring water.

Especially those two large mounds, even though the swimsuit barely covered them, could not hide their proud curves, vaguely revealing a bit of spring.

Just looking at it is a pleasure.

In addition, her appearance is so striking even without makeup that even Xiang Fan couldn't help but take a second look.

Upon seeing Xiang Fan, the short-haired woman immediately stood up, her sharp eyes fixed on him.

What are you doing here?

"Me?" Xiang Fan was taken aback.

"The reason we come here is, of course, to soak in the hot springs."

"Go over there!" The short-haired woman pointed to another spot.

Glancing at the bustling crowd over there, Xiang Fan shook his head, leaned back, and leisurely soaked in the hot spring.

"There are too many people over there, it's too noisy, I'm not going."

The short-haired woman looked displeased upon seeing this.

Just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled back by President Chu.

"Cherry, don't be rude!"

After the short-haired woman, Cherry, gave a soft hum and went back to soaking in the water, President Chu took two steps toward Xiang Fan and gracefully extended his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Chu Qian."

You can't hit someone who's smiling.

Moreover, Chu Qian had been quite polite to him from the beginning, so Xiang Fan would not be cold to her.

In addition, the other party is a rare and stunning beauty!

Immediately, Xiang Fan also extended his right hand, and their fingers touched briefly.

"Hello, Xiang Fan."

This marked the beginning of their formal acquaintance.

Chu Qian's gaze swept subtly over Xiang Fan's sleek figure, hesitated slightly, and then spoke again.

"Mr. Xiang, I am the general manager of Mingyue Group."

"Upon meeting you just now, I felt that your temperament and appearance perfectly match the image of the artists our company is promoting."

"Would you be interested in signing a contract with our company?"

"Don't worry about the compensation. The signing bonus is 500,000, and we guarantee your annual income will be no less than 3 million!"

"A signed artist?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat amused and exasperated.

joke!

My top priority right now is to win over Wei Ying, and then find other women with the Nine Cauldrons Physique.

Where would I find the time to sign a contract and become an artist?

Moreover, three million a year is not even as much as the interest that Master Si earns on the balance of his black gold card!

Xiang Fan immediately shook his head and refused.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."

Xiang Fan's words instantly displeased Cherry, who couldn't help but retort.

"Why are you like this?"

"Our CEO Chu's judgment is among the best in the entire industry!"

"She invited you, that's you..."

"Alright, Cherry, stop talking!" Chu Qian frowned, stopping Cherry from continuing.

"If this gentleman is unwilling, then forget it."

With that, she gave Xiang Fan an apologetic smile, then pulled Cherry, who was full of resentment, and turned to go to the other side of the hot spring.

However, none of them noticed that not far away, a furtive figure was holding a camera, snapping photos rapidly, his face beaming with excitement.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"The CEO of Mingyue Group is having a secret rendezvous with a mysterious man at a hot spring—I'm going to make a fortune from this news!"

In the hot spring pool, Chu Qian and Xiang Fan whispered to each other, enjoying a long-lost sense of relaxation undisturbed.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've enjoyed this feeling...

Just as Xiang Fan's thoughts were drifting further and further away, a person dressed in a waiter's uniform slowly walked over, carrying a tray.

He approached Chu Qian and the other woman with a smile and bowed.

"Ladies, this is our hotel's new 'Bright Eyes Under the Sun' cocktail, perfect for ladies to enjoy while soaking in the hot springs."

Would you two like to try some?

Hearing the waiter's words and seeing the two tempting-looking cocktails, Chu Qian didn't refuse and reached out to take one.

Cherry shook her head and refused.

She doesn't drink alcohol normally, let alone on occasions like this.

Thinking about it, she subconsciously glanced at Xiang Fan, her eyes showing even more wariness.

"Okay, Cherry, don't be so nervous."

"Coming here is to relax."

Chu Qian smiled slightly, picked up her wine glass, and prepared to taste the "Bright Eyes and Sunny Sky" wine.

Just then, a voice suddenly came over.

"If I were you, I wouldn't drink this glass of wine."
