At this moment, Shen Xinhe was full of vigor and momentum, no longer the distressed phoenix abducted to White Dragon Village, but a proud Golden Crow.

She seemed as dazzling as a blazing sun.

After Zhang Xiaoshan deflowered her, unlocking the soul seal, and with the accumulation over this period, her cultivation had now reached the peak of the Transformation Realm.

She was just a step away from the God Realm.

For Shen Xinhe, who had awakened her soul power, enhancing her cultivation was not a difficult thing; for her, with her surging soul power, it should more precisely be called a restoration of power.

Whether to step into the God Realm depended on her own will.

Now, she hesitated, still waiting.

What she possessed was the power of the Golden Crow.

With the awakening of the Golden Crow's power, Shen Xinhe could clearly feel herself becoming stronger and stronger, but at the same time, she also noticed her personality becoming increasingly cold, as if she had no regard for anything in this world, and her way of doing things was becoming more and more domineering.

The Golden Crow symbolizes being aloof, untainted by dust.

This is the negative impact of awakening such power, making Shen Xinhe become a deity without any human emotions.

Her relatives were all dead, she was framed and targeted by others, even her second uncle did everything to oppose her. Perhaps becoming an emotionless god was the best outcome for her.

However, at this moment, her heart was filled with emotions, with obsessions.

Adversity reveals true intentions, Shen Xinhe remembered the kindness Zhang Xiaoshan showed her.

That straightforward, morally ambiguous, and unique young man deeply attracted her.

She still had lingering thoughts about Zhang Xiaoshan.

This time, the cooperation talks between Haiseng Group and the Flying Fox Sect did not require her presence, yet she still came, hoping for a chance encounter with Zhang Xiaoshan. Although the probability was extremely low, she came with a trace of luck and expectation in her heart.

For a woman, it is difficult to let go of someone held in her heart, especially for someone like Shen Xinhe, who is high and above, a genuine emotion is even more precious.

She worried that if she truly stepped into the God Realm, the power of the Golden Crow Divine Soul would become too overwhelming, making her sever emotions and forsake love, completely forgetting Zhang Xiaoshan. Therefore, she dared not take this step for a long time.

"Uncle Zhong, don't follow me, go back to the hotel and rest. I want to take a walk alone."

Shen Xinhe dismissed the old man behind her, but the old man stubbornly said.

"Miss, it's dangerous here. I'd better stay with you."

Shen Xinhe shook her head helplessly.

"Uncle Zhong, have you forgotten? Your cultivation is not as good as mine. If I really encounter any trouble that I can't solve myself, what's the use of you following?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the old man looked dejected, sighed helplessly, and said.

"What Miss says is true, I am old, but I still have this old life."

Looking at this uncle who had accompanied her grandfather and father for two generations and was now still with her, Shen Xinhe felt reluctant and said helplessly.

"Alright then, Uncle Zhong, follow if you must, just don't stay too close."

Saying this, she walked towards a bridge by the shore.

The bridge was a steel structure bridge, but its exterior was made to look like an ancient architectural style, with four big characters on it.

"Wind and Rain Veranda Bridge."

This was also a landmark in Yang City, the entire bridge spanned the north and south banks of the Wei River, grand in scale, often attracting tourists from different places to check in.

This was the best spot to enjoy the entire scenic view of Wei River Lake, but today it was occupied by people from the Blood Flood Dragon Group.

"Stop."

Just as Shen Xinhe was about to step onto the bridge, she was stopped by two burly men.
