Watching Qin Xiaoya's carefree demeanor, the high-ranking officials from the United States dared not voice their anger. In this confined space, they were no match for the two Huaxia people before them.
"Fine, I agree to your terms," the U.S. Secretary of Defense said in a chilling tone.
"I can't really trust what you Americans say," Qin Xiaoya replied with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" The U.S. Secretary of Defense struggled to suppress his anger, which was boiling beneath the surface.
Qin Xiaoya glanced at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen opened his palm, and a pale white flame rose into the air. The flame soared like fireworks before diving directly into the bodies of the U.S. Military High Command.
"What is this?" The U.S. Military High Command panicked, frantically patting their bodies in an attempt to extinguish the tiny flames.
"With this inside you, your words will be credible. If you go back on your word, these flames will burn within you. In less than ten seconds, you'll be reduced to ashes. I believe none of you would want to die that way," Qin Xiaoya said with a slight smile.
"You think this will scare us?" a fiery-tempered United States General said in a deep voice. There are still those in this world who fear nothing.
No sooner had the general spoken than flames erupted from his body, engulfing him in pale fire. True to her words, within seconds, the fierce United States General was reduced to ashes.
Facts speak louder than words. Those in the U.S. Military High Command who had previously harbored doubts were now struck dumb, frozen in place, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Qin Xiaoya, let's go," Jiang Chen said calmly before turning to leave.
"Take care of yourselves; we’re leaving now," Qin Xiaoya said with a gentle smile before following Jiang Chen out.
After Jiang Chen and Qin Xiaoya left, it took a long time for these high-ranking officials from the United States to regain their composure. The conference room was silent; each person looked ashen-faced, as if they had received a tremendous blow.
For them, it was indeed a devastating blow—one that threatened their very lives. Their fates were no longer their own.
The days ahead would be filled with anxiety; it was almost worse than death itself—who would want to live on a minefield?
"Are we just going to let this go?" one United States General slammed his hand on the table and spoke angrily.
"We certainly can't let this go. However, our immediate priority is to remove those flames from our bodies. I really don't know how that Huaxia person did it."
"We need to halt all actions against those two Huaxia people for now. Let's first go to the hospital for an examination; once we’re sure our bodies are fine, we can make further plans." Ultimately, it was the U.S. Secretary of Defense who summarized the discussion.
As days passed by, New Year's Day arrived, and there was less than a month until the Spring Festival.
Since returning from the United States to Huaxia, Jiang Chen had been staying at Shanghai Quiet Villa. The whereabouts of the Devouring Heaven Bottle remained unknown; it seemed there was no hope for it this year.
The movie about the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm has entered its promotional phase. In reality, it is unrealistic to expect everyone in the world to watch the film; it would be a success if just one-tenth of the global population saw it.
Twenty days later, the annual Spring Festival arrived. In the blink of an eye, more than four years had passed, and many of Jiang Chen's classmates had already married and started families.
In Qingcheng County, in the suburbs, stood a traditional Chinese villa. This villa was built at Jiang Chen's request for his adoptive parents, whom he had brought from An Province to Southeast Province. Given Jiang Chen's current status, he could have made the villa extravagantly luxurious, but his adoptive parents preferred a low-key style. The decor did not use any expensive materials, yet the overall effect was quite pleasing.
No matter who you are, there is always a unique sentiment tied to your hometown. Jiang Chen's hometown, Qingcheng County, was rather unremarkable in Huaxia; its development had been stagnant for years. Determined to make a difference, Jiang Chen decided to take action to promote his hometown's growth.
Having acquired a substantial amount of wealth from the Kaimanwei Family last time, he had enough resources to establish a large museum. He chose Qingcheng County as the location for this museum. Qin Xiaoya and Jiang Luyi were put in charge of this project. Jiang Luyi's company primarily focused on real estate, and they planned to invest hundreds of billions into transforming Qingcheng County into a tourism and cultural center.
"Young Master, do you have time tomorrow? After two months of research, we have a concrete plan ready. Can you visit the site tomorrow?" On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, just after Jiang Chen returned home, Jiang Luyi called him.
"Sure, see you tomorrow."
The next morning, Jiang Luyi drove to pick up Jiang Chen. His adoptive parents and younger sister were also very invested in the development of his hometown, so they all accompanied Jiang Luyi to the site.
The location chosen for development was situated between Huang Gong Mountain and You Cauliflower Lake. Jiang Chen's grandmother lived nearby, making him quite familiar with the area. Although Huang Gong Mountain was not a famous peak, it boasted beautiful scenery that was serene and picturesque. Otherwise, the giant snake that once thrived in Longyan Pool would not have been able to exist there; this incident had been kept under wraps by officials to avoid attracting too much attention.
However, with the establishment of a tourism area here, Jiang Chen felt there was no need for secrecy anymore; they could showcase the giant snake's remains. With the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm set to open soon, a mere giant snake was hardly significant.
In addition to Longyan Pool, Huang Gong Mountain featured several attractions: Ninety-Nine Bends, Zhao Yao Jing, Feixian Waterfall, Golden Rooster Stone, and Tea Mountain. You Cauliflower Lake was particularly stunning during the blooming season of rapeseed flowers when its waters were crystal clear.
Establishing a free museum here would make it Huaxia's first museum. With such an esteemed title attached to it, attracting visitors would certainly be achievable.
Standing atop Huang Gong Mountain Peak with blueprints in hand, Jiang Luyi discussed specific plans with Jiang Chen and his family. Regarding key points in the planning process, Jiang Chen had only one request: to maintain the local ecology, especially concerning his grandmother's village.
After listening to Jiang Luyi’s introduction, Jiang Chen felt satisfied.
"Brother, Grandma's old house will become your ancestral home; it can also serve as an attraction," Jiang Lu said with a smile.
Jiang Lu's words brought smiles to everyone’s faces.
"There's no need for that. I left those places just to keep some memories for myself," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
