Chapter 576: Chapter 574: The Transmigrated Woman Who Self-Destructed 18 Times (Part 5)
Regarding this high mentor, Jiang Zhi has gained new insights. This is definitely not someone to be trifled with easily.
Even if he can’t reach the dream planting space, he mustn’t offend this person.
In a short time, Jiang Zhi already understood that being alive today is already a blessing.
He was just waiting for his men to arrive.
Of course, he also hoped the high mentor could assist him, though it might be wishful thinking.
"Why is Miss Chu here?" he asked.
Ah Chen looked up at him and said, "I was sacrificed to the Water Dragon King, and then drifted here."
Jiang Zhi was shocked; who had the nerve to do that?
She didn’t seem like someone who could be bullied easily.
There must be some reason behind it, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask more.
"Do you know where the sacrificial ceremony was held?" Jiang Zhi asked. As a prince, he couldn’t be unaware that such ceremonies were mainly for making money. His expression turned grim. Since it involved his savior, once he returned, he would definitely arrange for an investigation and report the culprits to his father for punishment.
Whoever led such a ceremony must have had ties with the local government!
"To be honest, I hold some status, and if I can return, I will arrange for an investigation to clear Miss Chu’s name. This sacrifice to the Water Dragon King to solve floods is complete nonsense. A true deity wouldn’t trample on the lives of its followers. If there truly is such a god, it must be an evil god," Jiang Zhi said.
Ah Chen laughed; indeed, he was a respectable male protagonist with a commendable character.
However, the setting was unfortunate, causing trouble for the female protagonist, nearly leading to the small world’s failure.
Though it seemed like he was trying to win her favor, if he really did nothing, there would be no hope for the throne.
"Laining County," Ah Chen named a place. She wouldn’t let those people off, but it was better for the Court to deal with them.
The high mentor in front of him had a charming smile. Jiang Zhi dared not entertain any disrespect and continued roasting the rabbit silently to avoid causing annoyance.
Being adaptable had its advantages, Ah Chen thought to herself.
She lifted her hand towards the sea, grabbing a handful of snow-white fine salt. With nowhere to put it, she grabbed an empty shell from the sea to place the salt on it.
"A little salt."
"Otherwise, it won’t taste good."
She passed the shell over.
Jiang Zhi snapped back to reality, accepting the shell, still shaken by the earlier scene.
To be honest, for a moment he didn’t want the throne anymore, he wanted to pursue Immortal Cultivation.
If he could achieve immortality, what was a mere throne?
But he quickly calmed down. If he truly had the destiny to become an immortal, he wouldn’t have waited until this age. Taking a deep breath, he sprinkled salt on the rabbit meat. He was somewhat happy too; at least the high mentor didn’t dislike him.
Once the rabbit meat was cooked, Jiang Zhi handed all the rabbit legs to Ah Chen.
But she only took a small one, wanting to try the male protagonist’s cooking skills, which weren’t bad. Roasting such flavor in the wild was indeed impressive.
He should be quite good at farming, after all, he’s the male protagonist and the author favors him, so all his skills should be maxed out.
The crops he grew would naturally surpass others, Ah Chen’s eyes sparkled, anticipating certain orders from small worlds on the brink of extinction.
After eating, Jiang Zhi was full of energy and started wandering around the island, collecting useful items.
Aside from what he collected, it seemed Miss Chu didn’t search for anything, realizing she was a high mentor, he understood.
He also found a cave, the one originally set in the story, and quickly ran to Ah Chen.
"I don’t need it, you go rest," Ah Chen said.
She was considering whether to stay here or leave later.
Leaving was inevitable; after all, the space needed someone to cultivate. Staying in one place all the time would be dull.
But the island was nice and could be revisited later; building a house wasn’t urgent.
Jiang Zhi didn’t insist, said his goodbyes, and went into the cave. Clearly on a strange island, in the wild, he fell asleep quickly, more relaxed than at the Prince Mansion in the Capital City.
After all, there was a high mentor present.
If the other truly wished him harm, there was no escaping it, so why worry?

Awake and refreshed, Jiang Zhi hurried out of the cave to find Ah Chen, discovering she was still sitting by the sea. For a moment, he felt like there was nothing in this world, not even him, just an empty world and this Miss Chu.
Perhaps this is the solitude unique to a high mentor?
He prepared to cook the bird eggs he fetched the day before, presenting them to Ah Chen once ready.
Whether it was to curry favor or not, Ah Chen was indeed pleased.
It had to be him; finding someone suitable other than Jiang Zhi would be difficult.
Ah Chen only took one egg, accepting Jiang Zhi’s gesture.
"I have a piece of land, now overgrown with weeds, and I’m looking for someone to manage it and plant some vegetables and grains. Would you be willing to help?" she asked.
Jiang Zhi was momentarily stunned, quickly recalling the dream planting space.
In the dream, the planting space was filled with various vegetables and fruits, all kinds were available.
There were many things he couldn’t understand, but Jiang Zhi was smart and didn’t see Ah Chen’s request as casual; he agreed immediately: "I’d be delighted."
"Alright, eat first, then you can help me farm," Ah Chen said.
Jiang Zhi had many men, and once they arrived, they could join her in farming. She wasn’t like others, unafraid of others knowing.
Jiang Zhi also intended to keep the matter tightly under wraps.
Jiang Zhi quickly finished the bird egg, uninterested in wild fruits; he wanted to know if the overgrown land was the dream planting space.
"Miss Chu, I’m done eating." He approached Ah Chen.
Ah Chen gave an acknowledgment, and with a thought, she brought Jiang Zhi into the planting space.
Upon seeing the slightly familiar place, Jiang Zhi’s eyes were filled with shock. The dream was real?
Although reality differed greatly from the dream, like the planting space’s real master being her, instead of feeling regretful.
In the dream, the space was also tied to that young maiden, it was odd to be the master in reality.
Jiang Zhi pondered, could the dream have been a scheme, inciting his discontent to offend the high mentor?
While unsure of the details, he was determined not to do anything foolish.
Ah Chen observed Jiang Zhi’s reaction, feeling satisfied.
No matter his thoughts, as long as he farmed well, it would benefit him. The world’s plot still needed him to follow.
Ah Chen pointed to nearby farming tools: "I’ll leave this land to you, start by clearing it. Use the stream water for irrigation, no extra fertilizer needed."
"You’ll get two-tenths of the produce, free to use as you wish," Ah Chen added, knowing a horse needed feeding to run.
