"Isn't that Zhang Yifeng?"
Someone recognized the identity of the drowning person.
"Zhang Yifeng, the Zhang family's young master who can no longer have sex? Oh, his family has fallen, and he has lost everything. Now, he has suffered such a great blow; it seems he is trying to commit suicide on his own."
"If I were him, I would probably try to kill myself too. Do you know what happened the day before yesterday? The day before yesterday, Zhang Yifeng approached Jiang Feng and said he agreed to let her be his girlfriend. Do you know what Jiang Feng said at the time?"
"What did she say?"
"Jiang Feng said, even if I agree to be your girlfriend, can you do it with me? Even if I lie next to you, you can't have me."
"Damn, that's harsh."
Amidst the noisy chatter, Zhang Yifeng finally opened his eyes.
Looking at the dense crowd around him, Zhang Yifeng instinctively made a defensive move but found his body extremely heavy. Upon closer inspection, the people around him were wearing very unconventional clothes, which were not from the Lingyue Continent.
"Zhang Yifeng, you're awake. Are you okay?"
A classmate wearing glasses spoke with concern. He had been performing CPR on Zhang Yifeng all along.
"I'm fine..."
Zhang Yifeng stood up and fled the scene in a wretched state.
"Tsk, he still thinks he's the Zhang family's young master, and he doesn't even say thank you."
"It would be better if he had died. He shouldn't have been saved."
The crowd around him started to murmur.
Zhang Yifeng left the pond and looked at the steel-reinforced buildings around him, his face full of bewilderment. Where was this place? He knew it was definitely not the Lingyue Continent.
The more he thought, the more his head hurt, as if something was trying to surface from the depths of his memory.
At that moment, the classmate wearing glasses, who was still concerned, followed him from behind and asked again, "Zhang Yifeng, are you okay?"
"Is my name Zhang Yifeng?"
Zhang Yifeng looked at the thin, bespectacled youth, feeling a headache.
"Where is this place?"
"Have you lost your memory? This is Jingkai University. You are the Zhang family's young master, but your family has already..."
The bespectacled youth paused, seemingly embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Already what?"
"Already gone. Zhang Yifeng, as a classmate, I have to tell you, you must be strong. Don't try to kill yourself because of a setback. And that Jiang Feng, you don't need to take her seriously. She's not a good woman."
Jiang Feng?
Hearing this name, Zhang Yifeng's body suddenly trembled, and memories flowed into his mind like a stream.
Zhang Yifeng finally remembered everything. This place was indeed not the Lingyue Continent where everyone cultivated, but Earth.
He was Zhang Yifeng, the young master of the Zhang Group. He had a younger sister named Zhang Kexin.
The Zhang Group was founded by his father, Zhang Tianhe, who was an orphan raised in an orphanage. He started his business from scratch and eventually developed the Zhang Group into a top 500 company in the country, encompassing catering, accommodation, tourism, and real estate, with a thriving business.
However, the sky can be unpredictable. A financial crisis led to the bankruptcy of the Zhang Group.
Zhang Yifeng's father, Zhang Tianhe, could not bear the shock and committed suicide by jumping from a building. Zhang Yifeng's mother also died of grief, leaving only him and his sister in the Zhang family.
Now, he could be considered an orphan of the Zhang family. Although he still had a maternal grandfather, after his mother's death, his grandfather only sent someone to take his sister, Zhang Kexin, to the Wen family. In short, Zhang Yifeng was now alone.
No money, no house, and no woman.
Although his father had arranged a marriage for him before his death, with a young lady from a prominent family in the capital, the marriage was likely to be canceled due to the family's downfall.
Such a significant family upheaval, from a rich second generation to a poor one, would be unbearable for anyone. Zhang Yifeng was one of them. He started drinking and causing trouble, eventually being severely injured, losing the most precious part of a man.
Zhang Yifeng on Earth perhaps could not accept the fact that he could no longer have a woman. A few days ago, he did something that humiliated himself. He was deeply hurt by a woman!
The woman was named Jiang Feng, who had liked Zhang Yifeng since high school because he was the Zhang family's young master.
Perhaps unable to bear the loneliness, Zhang Yifeng actually approached Jiang Feng and agreed to let her be his girlfriend.
The result was predictable.
Jiang Feng said just one sentence, making him a laughingstock in the entire school.
"Zhang Yifeng, do you still think you're the Zhang family's young master? Would I even look at you? Besides, even if I were devoted and agreed to be your girlfriend, can you do it with me? I heard you can't even have sex. Even if I lie next to you, you can't have me. Ha ha."
Can you do it with me?
A simple sentence, but it carried a stark and naked insult to his dignity. Zhang Yifeng on Earth perhaps could not bear this blow and chose to end his life, thus giving him the opportunity to be reborn and reincarnated.
That Jiang Feng, Zhang Yifeng remembered her, heavily made up, always wearing low-cut tops. Such a person, and Zhang Yifeng on Earth actually went back to ask her to be his girlfriend. It seems the series of blows were indeed too much for him.
"Hoodlum? Jiang Feng?"
Zhang Yifeng's lips curled into a cold smile. Since he was reborn, he was Zhang Yifeng. What was owed would eventually be repaid. After suffering such great humiliation and harm, he would make all those who looked down on him and mocked him kneel and sing of submission.
Of course, what Zhang Yifeng was most concerned about now was whether he was really impotent. Any man would not want to be abnormal.
This was a matter of utmost importance, and it could not go wrong.
"Thank you, Zhao Long. Don't follow me; I won't do anything foolish. I just accidentally fell into the pond."
Zhang Yifeng thanked the bespectacled classmate and immediately turned to leave. He found a secluded place and carefully examined his most precious part.
Fortunately, only a small meridian was severed.
There were two ways to repair the meridian. The first way: refine the Meridian Continuation Pill. The Meridian Continuation Pill could easily repair the severed meridian and even make all the body's meridians unobstructed, enhancing the body's vitality and strength.
Zhang Yifeng's sect specialized in the study of alchemy and talismans, so he naturally knew the formula for the Meridian Continuation Pill. However, the problem was that this was Earth, and he did not know if there were any spiritual herbs to refine the Meridian Continuation Pill. Even if there were, he did not know where to find them.
Therefore, the only option now was the second way: cultivation!
As long as Zhang Yifeng started cultivating and advanced to the third level of the Body Tempering stage, he could repair that small meridian.
Zhang Yifeng sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him and felt an urge to cry. The spiritual energy here was incredibly thin, almost non-existent. It would be extremely difficult to cultivate to the third level of Body Tempering. With good luck, it might take ten to eight years; with bad luck, it might take twenty to thirty years.
Zhang Yifeng had never seen a place with such thin spiritual energy. Even the places on the Lingyue Continent where great figures had been defeated were hundreds or thousands of times better than here. But no matter how difficult it was, he would strive to cultivate. Having lived two lives, Zhang Yifeng understood the importance of strength more than anyone. Only with absolute power could he control his own destiny.
At the same time, in the capital city of Huaxia, where even a third-rate family possessed unimaginable power, and where any person you met could be a high-ranking official.
The Meng family was a powerful family in the capital city.
The old residence of the Meng family was a large compound, with three outer courtyards and three inner courtyards, complete with pavilions and terraces.
At that moment, a woman in a white dress stood in a pavilion, the light breeze lifting the hem of her dress.
The woman was about twenty years old, with a delicate face and extraordinary beauty. Her hair was neatly cut, her eyes like autumn water, her lips naturally red, and her eyebrows naturally green. Without any makeup, she was more stunning than the actresses on TV.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, and an older woman walked toward her.
"Nishang, you must have heard about the Zhang Group, right?" the woman asked.
The young woman in the white dress nodded but did not speak.
The older woman, knowing the young woman's cold and quiet nature, continued, "Back then, your grandfather promised to betroth you to Zhang Tianhe's son to thank him for saving his life. But now Zhang Tianhe is dead, and his Tianhe Group has disappeared overnight. This is good for you. You don't have to marry an unknown young man. As the first beauty of the capital, I wouldn't allow you to marry a fallen young master."
"Um."
The young woman nodded again, her expression unchanged, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Nishang, why don't I go to your grandfather and talk to him about canceling this marriage? I think this time he won't be stubborn."
"Sister Mei, don't..."
The young woman in the white dress finally turned around, her beautiful face tinged with sorrow, looking like a person in a painting.
Sister Mei's body trembled. "What? You don't really have feelings for that Zhang Yifeng, do you?"
"Sister Mei, let this marriage remain as it is."
The young woman's voice was gentle and melodious.
"Why?"
"This marriage can at least help me ward off some people."
Sister Mei was slightly taken aback and then said, "You mean the young masters of the Wang and Li families?"
The young woman in the white dress looked at the sky and nodded. "Compared to them, I actually admire Zhang Yifeng. At least, after suffering so many blows, he didn't commit suicide. Let this marriage remain as it is. He won't come to me, and I have no reason to go to him."
