345: Chapter 345 Pledge of Loyalty

Han Jingyang looked at the ecstatic Zou Rushuang and also became excited: "What's different?"

Zou Rushuang said excitedly: "I am now a living person, the kind with flesh and blood."

"A real person?"

"Yes, the evolution is more refined, similar to the legendary Transformation. It's a fundamental change, not a change brought about by illusion."

"Exactly like a real person?"

"It should be. Master, touch it," Zou Rushuang said as she stretched out her long, fair arm in front of Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang didn't stand on ceremony and touched it again.

Huh?

It really was about the same.

Flesh and blood.

There was even a pulse.

The pores, the fine, transparent hairs that were almost invisible, the blood vessels, and even the texture of the skin were lifelike.

What about breathing?

Han Jingyang placed his finger on Zou Rushuang's philtrum and immediately felt a steady, warm airflow.

She was breathing.

Even breathing was present; wasn't this just a living person?

But, is that all?

Han Jingyang looked down at the scroll on the coffee table: "Can you still go back?"

Zou Rushuang nodded excitedly: "Yes, Master, I can switch freely between the two states."

"No obstacles?"

"None."

"Does this mean you can leave Jiguang Zhai?"

"Yes, but after leaving Jiguang Zhai, I won't be able to return to the scroll or switch states freely. I can only switch freely in Jiguang Zhai because my original body is here."

Han Jingyang became even more excited.

Good.

This ability is great.

In the future, he could take Zou Rushuang wherever he went. Even if she only served tea and water, it would be very prestigious. This would free up Shi Xiaoya and Liu Jing, giving them more free time and space instead of keeping them tied to his side.

He just didn't know how Zou Rushuang's combat strength was. If it was decent, she alone could replace Shi Xiaoya and Liu Jing.

Wait.

She couldn't replace them.

It was best to have them all by his side.

Whenever he went out, having three super beauties like Liu Jing, Shi Xiaoya, and Zou Rushuang—each with a different temperament and image—following him around would be so prestigious.

If it weren't for the need to have someone guard Jiguang Zhai, taking all three of the Zou Shuying sisters along would be truly impressive.

Anyway, with the storage bag, he could carry the scroll with him. Wherever the scroll was, the four Zou Shuying sisters would be.

Thinking this, he hugged Zou Rushuang again: "In the future, if you want to go out, follow me. If you don't, stay in the shop and keep your sisters company."

Zou Rushuang beamed: "Master, I, can I really go out with you?"

"Of course, but going out isn't for play. You'll still have to serve tea and water and act as my facade."

"I'm willing," Zou Rushuang answered impatiently.

Flower Fairies were also women. Having been locked up for so many years, how could they not want to see the outside world?

Even though they could go online, could the online world be the same as the real world?

Completely different.

There was no comparison at all.

Therefore, Zou Rushuang even changed her usually low-profile personality, her joy showing on her face, and even threw herself into Han Jingyang's arms to express her happiness.

The three Zou Shuying sisters were also quite happy. After all, Zou Rushuang was their good sister, and they had hundreds of years of affection. However, seeing their sister turn a misfortune into a blessing by gaining a real body and being able to move freely with their master, Han Jingyang, they also felt a bit of a sour taste in their hearts.

As the saying goes, Flower Fairies were also women, and when it comes to a woman's thoughts, those who know, know.

Seeing this, Han Jingyang smiled and said: "You guys can go out too, although not as freely as Rushuang."

Zou Shuying felt a bit embarrassed: "Master, we actually don't want to go out that much..."

Han Jingyang laughed at Zou Shuying's insincere look: "Don't worry, everyone will have a chance, everyone will have a chance."

Wasn't it just taking girls out for a stroll?

Going out every day was impossible.

But going out every now and then was no problem at all, and he could even take them along on long trips.

The storage bag he had just acquired was truly convenient—convenient in every sense—and might even hold some unexpected surprises.

Han Jingyang checked Zou Rushuang again in the room. After confirming her state and abilities, he was 100% relieved. He hung up the scroll and led the four Flower Fairy sisters back to the main hall.

When Shi Xiaoya saw Zou Rushuang, she breathed a long sigh of relief: "I knew Hubby would be fine."

Liu Jing, on the other hand, keenly noticed Zou Rushuang's uniqueness and couldn't help but walk over to look her up and down.

Han Jingyang patted Liu Jing's arm: "Alright, alright, there's nothing much to see. Rushuang is still Rushuang, everything is normal. We should work when it's time to work and sleep when it's time to sleep. By the way, was that video sent to Zhang Dahai?"

Zhang Chaoyue, who was standing nearby, nodded quickly: "It was sent."

"Any reply?"

"Not yet."

Han Jingyang nodded: "Rest then. We'll talk about things tomorrow. Sooner or later, I'll deal with that guy named Zhang."

Zhang Chaoyue was hesitant and unwilling to leave.

Han Jingyang raised an eyebrow: "What? Something's up?"

Zhang Chaoyue asked with a forced smile: "Can I, can I make do in the shop for a night? The sofa or even the floor is fine."

"You're scared to this extent?"

"That's Zhang Dahai. Boss, you're definitely not afraid, but besides you, there's no one in all of Quancheng who isn't afraid, including those seemingly high-and-mighty big shots. Because Zhang Dahai has too many desperate criminals under him; when it really comes down to a life-and-death struggle, there's no one Zhang Dahai wouldn't dare to kill."

"A cautious standoff."

"Yes, that's what I mean. To some extent, Quancheng has been taken hostage by Zhang Dahai. If Zhang Dahai is pushed to a dead end, Quancheng will become very dangerous."

"Heh, I don't believe it," Han Jingyang sneered. "Sooner or later, I'll give that old geezer what's coming to him."

"I also hope you take down Zhang Dahai soon, Boss, but... it's really not easy."

"If he dares to provoke me, I will definitely teach him a lesson," Han Jingyang said as he reached into his pocket, pulled out a Hetian jade plaque, and tossed it to Zhang Chaoyue. "This is for you."

Zhang Chaoyue's eyes lit up: "Boss, this is..."

"Put it on and try it."

"Alright," Zhang Chaoyue put the jade plaque on. After jumping around a bit, his expression changed drastically: "I've become stronger!"

Han Jingyang asked calmly: "By how much?"

"At least twenty percent."

"In what aspect?"

"Physically—strength, speed, stamina, flexibility, all of that," Zhang Chaoyue said with uncontrollable excitement on his face. "Boss, is this dharma instrument specifically for improving physical fitness?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Boss! Thank you for the reward, Boss! For your great kindness, I, Zhang Chaoyue, will definitely spend the rest of my life repaying you. From now on, whenever the Boss has a need, just one call and I will immediately fly to your side to follow your orders, even if it means going through fire and water."

Han Jingyang glanced at Zhang Chaoyue with a calm expression.

Inwardly, he couldn't help but wonder how much credibility this man's words had.

Unafraid of fire and water?

What about the 'sea' in Zhang Dahai?

Forget it, no need to provoke him.

Thinking this, he waved his hand: "Alright, it's just a worthless little trinket. Use it for now. If you perform well in the future, I'll give you something better. I might be short of many things, but I'm not short of various dharma instruments. The variety is more than you can imagine."

Zhang Chaoyue's eyes widened in surprise: "This, this is just a worthless little trinket?"

"Mm-hmm."

"I can get even better ones?"

"Mm-hmm, depends on your performance."

Hearing this, Zhang Chaoyue gritted his teeth and raised his hand, shouting: "I have important intelligence to report, concerning Zhang Dahai!"
