However, at this moment, William Clark still gasped, and after thinking of something, his face darkened a bit.

So this cultivation technique can only be practiced while singing? If you stop singing, it stops working?! The person who created this technique, don’t you feel ashamed?!

Other people have invincible sword techniques—shout “sword” and summon tens of thousands of divine swords, or some kind of Heaven-transforming Qi-eating method, but when it comes to me, I have to sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”?!

William Clark almost smashed the cup in his hand on the ground again!

If I have a child in the future, and they ask, “Daddy, can you sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’?”

What is William Clark supposed to say? Heh, yes, I can, let me sing it for you.

Sing my ass, sing!

But just at this moment, William Clark suddenly realized what the Starlight Fruit in the product list was for. If he guessed correctly, it was probably a cultivation resource specifically designed to be used with this technique?

In this world that is slowly changing, William Clark didn’t know what cultivation resources others had, but logically speaking, it shouldn’t be something so easy to obtain.

At this moment, William Clark clearly saw a fiery red glow burning outside the window in the night, so abrupt on the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year.

That didn’t look like fireworks. Fireworks should be a flash of light shooting into the sky, then exploding into a huge blossom.

But the fiery red in the sky instead seemed to be a reflection on the ground, like a menacing banner fluttering a thousand meters high.

A fire? William Clark was a bit shocked and suspicious. If it was a fire, just how big would it have to be?

The red glow was still moving, and William Clark could already hear the sirens of fire trucks. It was definitely a fire. How could such a big fire break out in the middle of the night?

What puzzled him was that the aura of the flames gave him a sense of intimacy, and the little flame in his chest was flickering. This was the first time since William Clark's car accident that he had clearly felt the movement of the white flame in his chest.

He didn’t know what the flame in his chest meant, nor where it came from, or why it gave him a feeling of a long-awaited reunion.

It was as if, overnight, the world had suddenly become unfamiliar.

William Clark went next door and said to Little Clark, “You stay at home and behave. I’m going up to the roof to take a look.”

“I want to go too.” As Little Clark spoke, she started to head out, but William Clark slammed the door shut with a bang.

“No way.” With that, William Clark went out.

Negative emotion from Little Clark, +50...

William Clark's teeth started to ache again. Why does this little girl get resentful toward him so easily... But the good thing about this income record is that he seems to be able to know at any time who holds resentment toward him.

Unless the other person can hide from the system on him, though William Clark wasn’t sure if such a person existed.

He quietly climbed onto the roof of his own house. Usually, they would dry some radishes or something up here. It had just snowed, and William Clark had forgotten to bring in the dried radishes from the bamboo basket. Now was a good time to collect them.

In spring and autumn, Little Clark liked to drag William Clark up to the roof to lie down.

Back then, the two of them would rest their heads on their arms and look at the vast sky and flying birds. Those times were always gentle and peaceful.

Standing on the roof, William Clark looked toward the source of the firelight, curious whether tonight’s big fire was caused by those imagined ability users.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a dark figure leaping and bounding across the roofs of the houses in the courtyard. It seemed to be two people, rushing quickly in his direction, kicking up huge waves of snow behind them.

That was the air current stirred up by the wind.

The two were extremely agile. Although the distance between the houses wasn’t great, the problem was that they ran across the rooftops as if walking on flat ground.

It seemed the other side had also noticed him. The two of them stopped slowly at the same time. In the process, these two unknown people had already spread out at a wide angle, as if ready to attack from both sides at any moment.

On one side was William Clark, who had just climbed onto the roof; on the other, two mysterious experts. For a moment, both sides seemed to be in a standoff.

Chapter 8: Baffling

The night was too dark. Even from a dozen meters away, William Clark couldn’t see their faces clearly, but he could still sense the tension in their muscles, their posture as if ready to strike at any moment.

But he could vaguely see the black trench coats fluttering in the wind on the two of them, and the chilling aura in the winter night, like an invisible wall—strangers keep out.

It seemed the other side was also unsure about William Clark's background. Someone standing on the roof in the middle of the night—no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit odd...

William Clark hesitated for a moment and decided to climb back down the ladder. After all, the other side looked very skilled, and jumping around on rooftops in the middle of the night—no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit abnormal...

And most importantly... black trench coats.

That touched a nerve for William Clark. Although many people wore them, encountering them at this time and place, he couldn’t help but recall the scene from the afternoon.

The other side didn’t expect William Clark to react so timidly, and for a moment, they were stunned...
