Zhou Heng picked up the remaining youtiao and sat on the red Ferrari. Under the startled gaze of the owner, he quickly left.

With the current social climate, the boss sighed and shook his head.

Cao Fang who was driving the car was frowning and thinking. She was the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and because she did not know how to hide her power, she was excluded by the jealousy of her peers. At the age of 22, the Cao family moved her from the capital into the sea. However, Cao Fang did not become depressed and was unable to recover from her setback. Four years later, her real estate business near the sea had already begun to flourish, and her career was flourishing every day.

started to extend her hands out towards the real estate industry, causing her to be wary of Ding Long. Was the Zhou Heng Ding Long Ding Long recommended reliable or not? With Ding Long's careless character, there shouldn't be a reason for him to play around with him over such a small matter.

"Tell me about the method." Zhou Heng who was sitting in the front seat suddenly opened his mouth.

"I am planning to build a mountain resort near the Qingyu Lake in the outer city, but the local residents insisted that there was a river god in the lake, so we were not allowed to start working," Cao Fang said.

"river god?" Zhou Heng was startled, is there anyone who is still so superstitious? There were only four types of "ghosts" in the world: wandering souls and evil spirits formed after the death of humans, and yam and strange beasts formed after the death of beasts. There was no such thing as river god.

Cao Fang's face darkened, thinking, even if you're eating this bowl of rice, you still have the nerve to say that she's superstitious.

"In short, we'll go take a look first," Cao Fang said. "After that, you choose a day to do some law and if you need anything just tell me. I'll prepare it for you in advance." Cao Fang hoped that Zhou Heng could do a grand act and perform a few tricks on the spot like she was performing a magic trick. This way, the locals would be able to relax and allow her construction team to start.

But Zhou Heng and Cao Fang's thoughts were completely different. The wandering souls were the same as the yam, it was impossible for normal people to see them, but Demonic Ghosts and beasts could take form and be invisible, so the river god that the villagers spoke of might be either Demonic Ghosts or beasts. If that was the case, it would be a good opportunity to test out his own strength after advancing to the next level.

Zhou Heng laughed and said: "I'm already prepared."

Hearing Zhou Heng's confident tone, Cao Fang also became a bit more relieved.

From the Coastal University to the Qingyu Lake in the outer city, the drive took around an hour. During this one hour, Zhou Heng closed his eyes and did not say a single word to Cao Fang. With Cao Fang's family background and looks, the man who pursued her was like a crucian carp in the river. Maybe Zhou Heng was just trying to arouse his curiosity. He did not speak, but Cao Fang was happy to stay quiet.

Zhou Heng was currently wandering in the Heavenly Teacher Library.

Although his body could not bear the new book, Zhou Heng still had something he could do. That would be to find the books that he had enough authority to read and arrange them one by one according to the order in which he would read them. This was because right now, it only had the search function, so there would definitely be a lot of books that would miss out on Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng had to think of a way to find these books as well. At present, the only method available is to try again and again with one keyword after another. There was an enormous amount of work here, but Zhou Heng felt that it was worth it. "Knowledge is power."

An hour passed quickly.

"We're here." Cao Fang stopped the car.

Zhou Heng also opened his eyes. He let out a long sigh, then exhaled the exhaustion in his chest.

What was going on with this person? Cao Fang looked at Zhou Heng, his heart filled with suspicions. Hadn't he been resting with his eyes closed the entire way? Why does he look even more tired than before?

Zhou Heng followed Cao Fang out of the carriage and walked along a small path that lead to Qingyu Lake.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Heng suddenly asked: "Are you going to leave your car at the side of the road?"

Cao Fang laughed, then answered: "It's alright." Five minutes ago, they had already entered the range of the mountain resort's plan, and this area had long been included in Cao Fang's list.

Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of the Qingyu Lake.

The Qingyu Lake was a national grade 3 A/grade scenic area, but because of the lack of entertainment facilities, very few people would choose to come here. Cao Fang saw the prospects of this place, with the excuse of constructing a mountain resort, she bought a large piece of land here. Just as she was about to start construction, she encountered opposition from the local residents.

Looking at the wide lake surface, Cao Fang asked Zhou Heng: "What are you planning to do? Do you have a specific implementation plan? "

Zhou Heng focused on the lake surface and said, "There's no solution, so I don't think there's any need to do anything."

"What do you mean?" She didn't like it when people broke the contract.

"There are no river god s here." Zhou Heng said.

"Nonsense," Cao Fang was unlike those villagers who were superstitious, "Of course there isn't such a thing as river god."

"But there are water ghost s here."

"water ghost?" Cao Fang's expression could not help but be somewhat surprised.

"That's right, the drowning people are at the bottom of the lake and can't see the light of day. Even if they turn into evil spirits, there will still be large amounts of fish and shrimp for them to kill." Zhou Heng continued, "Very rarely do water ghost come out of the water to attack people."

"The water ghost s that prey on fish and shrimp?" Cao Fang felt that Zhou Heng's description was completely different from the stories she had heard before. She asked, "Didn't the legendary water ghost like to drag people into the water?"

"Then maybe someone got tied up by water grass and mistook him for a water ghost." Zhou Heng said, "Real evil spirits do not take a leisurely approach that drags people to their deaths. They are much more direct."

"So what are you going to do?" Cao Fang felt chills down her spine. No matter what, she was still a girl, so it was her nature to be afraid of ghosts.

"Find the water ghost first." Zhou Heng said.

"Now?" Cao Fang subconsciously took a step back, as she was a bit further from the water's surface, "Don't you need to prepare some magical equipment or something?"

Zhou Heng was startled for a moment, but when he mentioned the magical equipment, he suddenly remembered about the copper rod. The system had recorded all the information regarding the copper rod into his brain. If he was willing, he could draw up a design and have someone draw another one based on his appearance.

"No need." Zhou Heng still shook his head. It was just a normal water ghost, he could easily deal with it when he was still an E Rank Heavenly Master. Now that he had levelled up to D Rank, there was no reason for him to need the help of a magic tool.

He rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, walked to the lake and squatted down.

"Be careful." Zhou Heng said solemnly.

"Oh, okay." Cao Fang took another step back. Zhou Heng's solemness made her nervous as well.

Zhou Heng took a deep breath, then stuck his right arm into the water.

What are you doing? Cao Fang couldn't help but be curious.

"water ghost, quickly come out!" Zhou Heng shouted towards the water surface.

Zhou Heng's voice passed through his arm and was transmitted into the water with a special kind of amplitude.

"Whap." Suddenly, Cao Fang heard the sound of footsteps.

She looked in the direction of the voice.

Other than two wet footprints, Cao Fang did not see anything else.
