Zhang Yang thought to himself that this must be some illusion created by Toothless, making the young woman mistakenly believe that Toothless was her husband.
He checked Toothless's breathing and found it steady, indicating there was no major issue. Zhang Yang also felt Toothless's pulse. Of course, his method of checking the pulse was not traditional Chinese medicine; he was probing for the Spiritual Energy within Toothless's pulse.
He discovered that Toothless's meridians had been disturbed by Zhang Yang's Spiritual Energy during a previous encounter. Although already injured, Toothless had attempted to control the excess Yang energy within him by employing a technique of nourishing Yin to supplement Yang. However, due to the injury in his meridians, his energy circulation was obstructed, leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, which caused his blood and energy to surge into his brain, resulting in a temporary loss of consciousness. Once his breath began to circulate properly again, he would likely wake up.
"His breathing is stable; he should wake up in a little while," Zhang Yang said.
"Ah!" At that moment, the Beautiful Young Woman seemed to suddenly awaken and exclaimed, "He is not my husband!"
Zhang Yang frowned, thinking to himself that he had guessed correctly. Now that Toothless's illusion had worn off, the young woman was coming back to her senses. "But you just said he was your husband," Zhang Yang replied with a smile. "Do you want me to call the police?"
"No need, no need. When I said husband, I meant his last name is Gong. Yes, Gong—he's my friend. This is my car; could you please help him get dressed?" The young woman stammered.
Inside the RV, there was a partition curtain. The young woman pulled the curtain closed while Zhang Yang helped Toothless get dressed on one side, and she began changing her clothes on the other side.
Toothless's outerwear turned out to be a thick down jacket along with a cotton hat. "Wow, you know it's cold," Zhang Yang quickly helped Toothless put on the clothes. While dressing him, he suddenly felt something inside a close-fitting cotton shirt—it seemed like there was a book.
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate; he took out a Swiss Army knife from his keychain and used the small scissors to cut open the shirt, pulling out a thin stitched book.
The title of the book was written in small seal script: Jiazi Rainbow Shadow.
"Luck has come; it can't be stopped!" Zhang Yang exclaimed with delight as he quickly tucked the book away and finished dressing Toothless.
"Are you done?" The young woman asked as she pulled back the curtain. By this time, she was fully dressed. "Can you carry him out of the car?"
"Carry him out? Isn't he your friend?" Zhang Yang said with a smile, intentionally teasing her as he thought about how to deal with this situation.
"Uh, I have something urgent to attend to; please take him to the hospital," the young woman said as she pulled out a thick stack of cash from her wallet and handed it to Zhang Yang. Clearly, after this bizarre incident and having another husband involved, all she wanted was to get away quickly.
"No need, I see that this old man is not having it easy, I'll take him." Zhang Yang said, directly picking up Toothless and getting out of the car.
"Thank you, sir," the young woman said.
"No need to thank me, please call me Lei Feng." Zhang Yang shouldered Toothless and walked forward. The young woman immediately got into the RV, and soon after, she started the vehicle and drove from the beach onto the road. Seeing her leave, Zhang Yang carried Toothless to a hidden spot at the bottom of some steps and threw Toothless onto the beach.
In the past, when dealing with someone like Toothless, Zhang Yang wouldn't have bothered with any formalities; he would have simply taken him out. But now, Zhang Yang suddenly didn't want to act. He looked at Toothless's white hair and wrinkles and sighed deeply.
Fate, mission, life and death—these were all things he had to face. His connection with Ding Weiwei had come to an end, and he was deeply pondering his so-called mission of punishing evil and upholding justice while now confronting the life and death of Toothless Old Daoist.
Zhang Yang shook his head and unexpectedly turned to leave. The initial surprise of obtaining "Jiazi Rainbow Shadow" was now overshadowed by a myriad of thoughts, leaving him feeling no excitement at all.
As he walked onto the street, more pedestrians appeared. The sounds of horns and chatter filled the air, bustling with the lively scenes of the New Year. Passing by a barbershop, it was already busy inside; getting a haircut before the Spring Festival seemed to be a common habit for many.
The past is gone and will not return / Red leaves fall, buried in dust / Beginnings and endings never change / You in the sky drift beyond white clouds / The sea of bitterness stirs love and hate / In this world, one cannot escape fate / Affectionate encounters are surprisingly distant / Or perhaps I should believe it is fate...
To his surprise, instead of playing upbeat songs like "Love Trade" or "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," the barbershop was playing the ending theme song "One's Lifelong Love" from "A Chinese Odyssey."
Zhang Yang let out a bitter smile as he walked back home.
After a moment of calm, Zhang Yang finally opened "Jiazi Rainbow Shadow." This book was thin, only a dozen pages long, detailing some cultivation methods. However, its descriptions were simple yet not easy to understand, especially the last chapter which purely discussed the Path of Fusion in abstract terms. If it weren't for Zhang Yang having integrated with Strange Soul after his cultivation and having learned some Earthly Branch Techniques with Yu Qingwei, he definitely wouldn't have been able to read it at all.
After flipping through the book roughly, Zhang Yang felt a bit tired. He put it down and suddenly remembered that killing Toothless to retrieve the book had been a mission pursued by Yu Qingwei. He immediately called Yu Qingwei. Upon receiving the call, Yu Qingwei was very excited; after confirming the specific location, she hung up.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang received another call from Yu Qingwei. "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."
Zhang Yang gave her his home address and was about to ask what had happened on her side when the call ended again.
When Yu Qingwei arrived at Zhang Yang's house and saw unopened drinks on the table, she didn't hold back and opened a bottle to drink. "Toothless is missing!" Yu Qingwei said after putting down her drink.
"This is my fault; I told you too late," Zhang Yang said, his expression serious.
"He's also your enemy; why didn't you kill him?" Yu Qingwei asked, not appearing overly anxious but clearly filled with questions.
"I don't know. I suddenly feel that his life and death should be more natural," Zhang Yang replied. After merging with the Azure level, he seemed to have developed a sense of acceptance towards the concept of "nature."
"Natural?" Yu Qingwei was puzzled. However, as someone who had practiced Daoism, he quickly found it intriguing. Zhang Yang's spiritual energy was merging with the heavens and earth, and some ideas seemed quite "natural."
"Regardless, there are still some gains from this. This book belongs to your esteemed sect; take it," Zhang Yang said as he took out the book titled "Jiazi Rainbow Shadow" and handed it to Yu Qingwei. "I skimmed through it; it's not really stealing techniques, right?"
Yu Qingwei smiled. "If you want to read it, go ahead. My ancestor's master was such a great figure, yet he never reached the highest realm; having it in my hands may not be useful."
"This book mainly consists of three parts: one part contains the essentials of the Heavenly Dry Technique, another part covers the essentials of Earthly Branch Techniques, and the last part, which is the final chapter, discusses the Path of Fusion. If you practice Earthly Branch Techniques and refer to the essentials inside, it will definitely help. As for the Heavenly Dry Technique and Path of Fusion, take your time to study them," Zhang Yang said earnestly.
"I have an idea," Yu Qingwei said as he took the book and looked at Zhang Yang, speaking word by word: "If we join forces, perhaps we can achieve the highest realm described in 'Jiazi Rainbow Shadow'."
