Lin Wan also looked at Lu Zheng, "How do you plan to solve their identity issues?"

"Oh, I've already solved them." Lu Zheng said casually, "Just go to the police station tomorrow and report the lost ID cards."

Lin Wan was stunned, "You..."

Lu Zheng nodded, "That's right."

"You're really something!" Lin Wan gave a thumbs up.

"You're welcome." Lu Zheng nodded, accepting Lin Wan's compliment, "Since they've been living abroad, this is a perfect way to clean the ten or so billion US dollars we have overseas."

"Is that possible?" Lin Wan was dumbfounded.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Lu Zheng shrugged, "Though they've been abroad, their domestic household registration hasn't been canceled, just that nobody in the country recognizes them anymore."

Lin Wan, "..."

...

In the following days, Lu Zheng mainly dealt with the identity issues of the three women, at least to ensure that if they were stopped and checked by the police, they wouldn't be found as undocumented.

Meanwhile, the three women were quick to learn the basic knowledge of this world.

Thanks to the internet, they didn't need Lu Zheng's explanation, nor did they have to learn the world by listening to storytellers like Lu Zheng; once they learned to read and operate the phone, they no longer needed Lu Zheng's guidance.

In just a few days, Si Lingxi and the two other women transformed into urban beauties; unless any obscure knowledge was mentioned, in everyday chat, even Lin Wan found it hard to notice anything strange about them.

"If Sister Lingxi is an alien, ruling the world shouldn't be difficult at all," Lin Wan sighed, "No one would notice anything amiss."

"You're overthinking it."

Lu Zheng shrugged, "If she really wanted to rule the world, would she need to act in secret?"

"What about nuclear missiles?" Lin Wan asked.

Lu Zheng held up three fingers, "First of all, modern nuclear missiles mostly rely on missile delivery, they can't even get close to her.

Secondly, even if they got close, she could instantly distance herself from the nuclear explosion range.

Thirdly, even if she faced it head-on, the Phoenix Divine Fire is no less powerful than the legendary Sun Golden Flame, while hydrogen bombs only simulate the sun.

So..."

"So..." Lin Wan was astonished, "She can withstand nuclear missiles?"

"It would still make my Protective Profound Light tremble a bit." Si Lingxi suddenly appeared and calmly interjected.

Lin Wan, "..."

"Actually, nuclear missiles aren't as formidable as you think." Si Lingxi laughed, "The core impact range of a nuclear explosion is quite limited, its power is quite limited, mostly relying on radiation damage; do you think I would fear radiation?"

"Well... not afraid?" Lin Wan couldn't help but timidly ask.

Si Lingxi shook her head and smiled, "Much less than Yin Qi or Demonic Qi, don't even mention me, once you cultivate the Primordial Profound Light, nuclear radiation won't affect you at all."

"Is that so?" Lin Wan was bewildered.

Si Lingxi patted Lin Wan's shoulder, "Blue Star's technological explosion in the past few hundred years is indeed quite impressive, but don't underestimate cultivation civilization, especially one with Upper Realm Immortal heritage."

Lin Wan couldn't help but smile wryly, "I'm not underestimating you guys, I just didn't expect nuclear missiles to be a small thing for you."

"That's a small thing for Sister Lingxi, I definitely can't withstand a nuclear missile's direct explosion." Shen Ying laughed and reassured, "Only Sister Lingxi has the right to say nuclear missiles have limited power."

Lin Wan glanced at Shen Ying, "But you wouldn't let a nuclear missile go off close, right?"

Shen Ying nodded, "Certainly! Even if there were a hundred, I could detonate them from a distance and then hide underground."

Lin Wan: Õ_Õ

...

Phoenix Mountain, at the back mountain, outside the main courtyard.

The four women of Red Crane exchanged looks.

"The Palace Master and Lu... and the young master have been inside for nearly ten days now..."

"Is the Palace Master injured?"

"They were playing in Phoenix Mountain for a day after returning."

"How about... asking?"

"No!" Red Crane firmly rejected, "The Palace Master ordered that no one is allowed to enter unless instructed."

If it were just Si Lingxi alone, there's no problem with her secluded meditation for a hundred years; they would have no doubts or concerns.

However, this time she brought Lu Zheng and three other women into the bedroom, which made the four maids quite uneasy.

They felt as if their master was being robbed from home.

Well... maybe it wasn't an illusion...

As they debated, they saw the main door of the Palace Master's bedroom gently open, and Si Lingxi and Lu Zheng walked out.

The four women of Red Crane immediately bowed in greeting, "Greetings Palace Master, Greetings young master!"

Si Lingxi nodded lightly, "Is everything alright on the mountain these days?"

Red Crane shook her head and replied, "Reporting to the Palace Master, there are no major issues."

"That's good." Si Lingxi nodded, "I plan to stay in the Central Plains for a while, you can oversee the mountain's affairs, if there are things you don't understand, you can go to the rear hall and use the Phoenix Fire to cast spells and ask me."

Si Lingxi has a long, everlasting Phoenix Fire in the rear hall, connected to her Divine Soul; the four women of Red Crane know the Spell Seal and can communicate with her regardless of distance.

Upon hearing Si Lingxi's instructions, the four women of Red Crane instinctively glanced at Lu Zheng.

Red Crane bowed and asked, "Palace Master, would you like us to accompany? Perhaps bring Bi Hu and Xuan Mei?"

"No need." Si Lingxi waved her hand, "You all stay on the mountain."

The four women of Red Crane could only agree.

Si Lingxi nodded, then took Lu Zheng and soared into the sky, transforming into a scarlet stream of light, flying straight to the Central Plains.

"It's over!"

"The Palace Master really found a man!"

"She doesn't want us anymore!"

"She doesn't even want the foundation of Phoenix Mountain!"

...

Flying all the way back to Tonglin County, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi descended outside the county gate.

Si Lingxi didn't come along, only Lu Zheng traversed to the modern era, bringing Liu Qingyan, Shen Ying, and Lin Wan, who had all changed their clothes, to cross into ancient times.

Today wasn't a weekend; Lin Wan specifically took a day off to explore the ancient city.

"Wow!"

Usually, Zhao Xiaodao and Li Ying would follow her with amazement; today, it was finally her turn.

The ancient city and streets made her feel... well, not just feel, she really found herself in ancient times...

The group entered through the South Gate, passing through Cong'an Square Commercial Street, and even visited the first and only shop Lu Zheng opened here—the Sweet Shop. They also briefly passed by the legendary Spring Building, which modern people only hear about but never see, before finally turning into East Street and arriving at Liu Qingyan's family business, Renxin Hall.

"Brother Lu! Sister Liu! Sister Shen! You're back!"

Du Yueyao happily approached, and then respectfully greeted Si Lingxi, "Greetings Sect Leader Si!"

Then curiously glanced at Lin Wan, "Greetings to this lady."

"Lin Wan, greetings Miss Du!" Lin Wan looked at Du Yueyao, her eyes flickering, seemingly deep in thought.
