Chapter 1325 Rebirth

After the call ended, Isabella said apologetically to Zuan, “Brother Zuan, I originally wanted to invite you to the Chamber of Commerce, but you have to go rescue Sister Chu, so I couldn’t keep you any longer.”

“Speaking of which, I should thank you this time. You helped me a lot. Once I get back and rescue her, I’ll definitely visit the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.” Zuan looked somewhat excited. The gains from this trip were secondary; one and a half of the three problems he had been worrying about had been solved.

Isabella forced a smile. Actually, she wanted to go with him to his hometown, but her father had strictly ordered her to return immediately.

Firstly, her father was very worried about the danger she had encountered, and secondly, he needed to go back to study the death authority over her body.

Originally, she wanted to buy some more time and go back with Brother Zuan first, but Alfred stopped her. Going home with him now would be beneath her dignity, and in his world, facing a large group of his female companions alone would be a disadvantageous situation. It would be more appropriate to wait until Zuan went to the Chamber of Commerce to confirm their relationship with her father.

Although Isabella was young, she came from a prominent family and was well aware of these principles. She had initially been blinded by emotion, but after Alfred’s reminder, she gradually calmed down and decided to return to the Merchant Guild to wait for Zaun.

She took a model starship from her bosom and handed it to Zaun: “Brother Zaun, your planet is too far from Dreamland. Use this starship to go back. Although it’s not as large as a regular starship, it’s fully intelligent and can drive itself. It also has the coordinates of the Merchant Guild headquarters set up inside, so you can come visit me anytime.”

Zaun was stunned by her casually pulling out a starship: “Okay, I’ll come find you after I’ve dealt with things there.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Isabella pursed her thin lips, her cheeks flushing slightly under the light.

Looking at her shy yet expectant expression, Zaun sighed inwardly. Both the Jade Essence and the Heavenly Water needed to be retrieved from the Merchant Guild headquarters; he had roughly guessed Aragorn’s intentions.

Perhaps the Heavenly Water did indeed need to be investigated, but the claim that the Jade Marrow of the Subtle Realm needed to be prepared was merely an excuse. After all, with the spatial teleportation array, there was enough time to transport them.

Ultimately, he needed to go to the Universal Merchant Guild to show his sincerity and provide some security for his daughter.

He didn’t object to this approach; it was what a father should do, especially since Isabella was quite adorable.

That night, Isabella kept him company, telling him about the Merchant Guild and constantly asking about various things in the cultivation world. After all, the myriad realms were far apart, and who knew when they would meet again after this separation?

However, she was still a young girl at heart. Perhaps it was because she had been worried about Fireworks impersonating her and the ghost of Zu’an in the past few days, which had kept her from sleeping well, but now, being with Zu’an, she felt exceptionally peaceful. As they chatted, she couldn’t help but lean on his shoulder and fall asleep.

Looking at the girl’s long eyelashes and flawless skin, Zaun couldn’t help but feel a surge of tenderness. He took out his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Alfred was initially worried and checked on her several times under the guise of bringing tea and snacks, but seeing that Zaun remained polite, he finally relaxed.

Zaun and Isabella sat on the beach, inhaling the girl’s fragrance, gazing at the beautiful starry sky and the tranquil sea, feeling exceptionally warm and peaceful.

The next day, Isabella woke up with a bright red face, wiping her mouth as she almost cried, “Brother Zaun, I’m so sorry…” It was so embarrassing!

Falling asleep while chatting was bad enough, but instead of the romantic act of snuggling together, she had drooled all over her shoulder.

She really wanted to hang herself right then and there.

“It’s alright, I think it’s quite cute, haha.” Zaun couldn’t help but laugh.

“Brother Zaun~”

After comforting Isabella, it was finally time to part. With the girl waving goodbye reluctantly, Zaun boarded his starship and left the dreamland.

While not as massive as the starship that had brought him there, this one was far faster.

It didn’t simply travel through space; instead, it jumped into some kind of void tunnel.

The entire process required no piloting from Zaun; he only needed to input the destination coordinates, and the starship automatically navigated to the cultivation world.

He could directly issue various commands to the starship’s artificial intelligence, from controlling its flight to managing the various robotic services within the cabin.

During the journey, some monsters in the void tunnel seemed to attempt to attack, but he didn’t even need to lift a finger; the starship’s automatic defense system eliminated them.

Of course, they also encountered some exceptionally powerful monsters, at which point the starship would automatically enter stealth mode, evading their detection and taking a detour.

Throughout the process, he couldn’t help but marvel at the advanced technology of the Universal Merchant Guild; no wonder they could conduct business in so many worlds.

However, little did he know that this starship was the pinnacle of the Universal Merchant Guild’s technology, a gift from Aragorn to his daughter for self-protection, which she had unexpectedly given away so casually.

Several months later, the starship finally returned to the cultivation world.

To avoid alerting the world, he didn’t let the starship approach, but instead stored it away outside the world, then silently entered the Underworld.

Knowing his current status, revealing himself would inevitably lead to a mountain of social obligations; he didn’t want to waste a single second saving Chu Chuyan.

When he arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness, seeing the lotus-wrapped figure in the River of Oblivion, his heart surged with inexplicable emotion: “Chuyan…”

Chu Chuyan quickly sensed his arrival, waking from her slumber, equally surprised and delighted: “Azu, you’re back?”

“Yes, I’m back!”

Zu An flew directly to the lotus platform and embraced his beloved tightly.

A tenderness flashed across Chu Chuyan’s face as she hugged him back tightly.

“Was your journey smooth? Did you encounter any danger?”

“We’ll talk about that later. I’ve found a way to save you.”

Zu An then took out the jade card and explained its usage to her.

“Turning into a card?” Chu Chuyan hesitated, as these concepts were still too advanced for her.

Zuan briefly explained the advantages and disadvantages of this card to her: “Whether or not to use this card is ultimately up to you.”

Chu Chuyan smiled slightly: “If it can spare me a thousand years of torment and allow me to be by your side at all times, why wouldn’t I use it?”

Seeing her reaction, Zuan no longer hesitated and operated the emerald card according to Professor Aragorn’s method. Soon, a soft light enveloped Chu Chuyan.

She observed herself in surprise, but felt nothing unusual.

Soon, she transformed into a beam of light and fell into the card.

At this moment, the entire River of Oblivion suddenly surged, and countless vengeful spirits reached out as if trying to pull him back.

Zuan’s expression turned cold, and the pressure of the Lord of the Underworld spread out, directly suppressing and killing those vengeful spirits.

However, the entire River of Oblivion and the Bridge of Helplessness seemed to awaken some inexplicable will, attempting to imprison Chu Chuyan once more.

Zu An’s expression changed; even as the Lord of the Underworld, he couldn’t stop it, for this seemed to be a primal law of the entire Underworld.

However, that invisible will swept across the spot where Chu Chuyan had just been, seemingly blocked by the light, failing to find its target.

After a long while, that will reluctantly dissipated. Zu An was secretly shocked; what exactly was this jade card? It could actually shield the influence of the River of Oblivion—no wonder it was the rarest card in the Universal Merchant Guild.

At this moment, the previously blank card displayed the image of a beautiful woman in a light blue dress. He was momentarily stunned, gently stroking the card. No wonder so many anime fans in his previous life loved collecting cards and figurines; they were truly irresistible.

Suddenly, a ripple of emotion stirred within him, and he hurriedly used magic to summon the card. Soon, a light shone, and the entire card transformed into a graceful and stunningly beautiful woman.

However, her face was slightly flushed at this moment: “Grandpa, you just tickled me…”
