Time flew by, but Haotian never forgot his original purpose: to wait for the Shen family.

She wasn't waiting to be proven wrong or to show off; she was simply waiting for the Shen family to finish using the zither and take it away.

The Shen family has fallen to the point where it is now being attacked by other forces. While their greed is one reason, the Human King Palace itself is also to blame.

The Shen family's actions were merely for self-preservation.

Today... is the day the real show begins.

After the final competition among the young disciples of the Shen family was completed, spies from many factions watched quietly.

They initially thought this was a contest with ulterior motives, but from the beginning until now, it has all been a normal contest. Only a few prodigies from the Shen family have attracted attention, but they are only prodigies.

Because above the prodigies are four more dazzling geniuses, as radiant as the blazing sun.

Everyone was baffled as to what the Shen family was up to. If it was just an ordinary competition...

That would mean the destruction of the Shen family.

The winner of this Shen family competition was a young girl.

The number one member of the direct line.

However, just as the Shen family was announcing the first-place prize...

A melody from a zither drifted over... and everyone present was speechless with astonishment.

Like a gentle breeze brushing against one's heart, it seems to wash away many people's distracting thoughts.

After being shocked by the effect of the music, everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

A white figure, with white hair flowing in the air and a stunning appearance, instantly conjured up a name in everyone's minds...

Human King...

She was suspended high in the air, with an antique-looking zither floating behind her, and everyone present stared wide-eyed.

I can't sense any breath... an exquisite figure... chlorine light caresses the zither.

The one in the sky was not Haotian, but... Shen Ji.

He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was panicking terribly...

Waaaaah, this is the first time I've been watched by so many people, I'm so scared! What if the elder's magic weapon is discovered? Waaah~ Suddenly, I really need to pee...

Sister Qin, Sister Qin, help me!

Soon a voice rang in Shen Ji's mind: Little brat, hold on, I'll take control of the whole situation for you.

The next moment, before anyone could react, the Chlorine Spiritual Light Dao Qin directly emitted Daoist rhymes, as if it were protecting its master, and floated in front of the disguised Human King Shen Ji.

The Daoist aura drifted freely through the air, and the crowd of onlookers, even the Shen family disciples who were unaware of the truth, all thought that the real Human King had arrived.

After a moment of realization, they all knelt down in the direction of Shen Ji.

Before Shen Ji could react, the chlorine-infused spiritual light zither in front of her immediately erupted with bursts of Daoist rhyme once again.

As this Daoist aura spread, the group found that their knees could only bend slightly, supported by the Daoist energy...

As Shen Ji sensed the Daoist aura surrounding her, a cold, aloof voice echoed in her mind.

"Little brat, the King never kneels to anyone for no reason. And stop daydreaming and give me my lines!"

Shen Ji, playing the role of the Human King, immediately appeared to be awakened, but fortunately, no one noticed anything amiss, thanks to the Daoist rhythm of the chlorine-infused light playing the Daoist zither.

Soon, the voice of the human king, simulated by Shen Ji, rang out...

"good……"

Yes, Shen Ji's line is just one sentence: "Not bad."

The senior members of the Shen family unanimously believed that too much talk leads to mistakes, and therefore, these two words alone were enough to save the entire Shen family.

The next moment, ignoring the gazes of everyone else, Shen Ji's figure had vanished.

Only then did the Shen family's higher-ups slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

The Shen family... is saved.

What followed was a series of shocks. After regaining their senses, the spies immediately withdrew from the Shen family's territory and began to contact the forces behind them.

Some people even couldn't resist wanting to stay and befriend the Shen family, and even more so, they wanted to establish a good relationship with the Shen family's victorious direct female disciple.

The victorious female disciple of the Shen family stared blankly at her hands, unable to believe what had just happened, as if it were a dream.

The Shen family's top leaders gathered around Shen Ji, who had returned to his original form.

"Excellent, very good. From now on, you will no longer be a collateral disciple. You will enjoy the cultivation resources of a direct disciple."

...

Amidst a chorus of rewards and praise, the matter quickly came to an end.

In the past, someone from the Shen family would have tried to eliminate all the younger generation who knew the truth, because only the dead can keep secrets.

However, those who held such thoughts had already been killed by the King's Great Formation for committing despicable and cunning evil deeds.

If they were still alive, they might have imprisoned Shen Ji and forced her to play the role of a human king, thus oppressing and humiliating her.

Now, their fate is to be implanted with a veil-sealing spell, preventing them from revealing what happened here.

The silencing spell will not affect their cultivation unless their cultivation level exceeds that of the caster.

As the chlorine-infused light touched the Daoqin, she sensed the murmurs of everyone present. Now that this matter was finally over, she could finally leave the Shen family.

Soon, her voice rang in Shen Ji's mind.

"Little brat, little brat, the real Human King will be here to pick me up soon. Tell your family that the Human King kindly asked me to cooperate with you to save your family. Now I'm warning you, don't be delusional and offend the Human King's identity again."

If it weren't for the King's benevolent heart, I, Xiaoqin, would have absolutely refused to comply!

Soon, Shen Ji relayed the news to the Shen family's senior management.

They were all dumbfounded...

What! You're telling me the King of Men knows?

What! You're telling me the Human King is coming later?

What! You're telling me the Human King is coming to warn us soon?

Three questions born from genuine shock.

The senior management immediately erupted in chaos.

However, before the senior executives could come up with a solution, a stunningly beautiful figure quietly appeared.

This time, the chlorine-infused spiritual light immediately released a joyful Daoist rhythm on the zither, and even Shen Ji could clearly sense the emotions of the zither in front of her.

"Only once, Qin... I'm taking it."

The next moment, the figure disappeared, and with it, the chlorine-infused spiritual light that caressed the Dao zither also vanished.

The Shen family members present were left staring at each other in disbelief.

The moment that figure appeared, everyone present felt their hearts race uncontrollably.

After a long while, Shen Ji stared intently at the spot where he had just been...

The true King of Men has just appeared there...

Her beauty was unparalleled, truly unique in the world. Just by standing there, or uttering a single word, she exuded an inimitable sense of holiness, power, mystery, and charm, as if she were the absolute protagonist of the world.

This... is the true king of men, a true legend.

At the same time, the chlorine-infused spiritual light zither beside Haotian kept emitting sobbing cries.

"Waaaaah~ You, you've finally come to find me! Come and pet me, waaaaah~ Let's become one again."
