Lin Chen smiled and said, "Shuiyou, I was helping Qingqing test Xiao Zhang, so they could understand how deeply they care for each other. That way, they'll argue less after they get married."
Qingqing and Xiao Zhang finally calmed down and thanked Lin Chen. Qingqing's parents also stepped forward to express their gratitude.
Lin Chen said to the couple, "You two—such a good son-in-law, and you're not even asking for a bride price."
Qingqing's parents waved their hands repeatedly."No, no. Where would we ever find such a good son-in-law? These days, one partner is either sick or the other is burdened with people. Not to mention, these two are genuinely in love."
Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn were both wiping their tears."It's so touching."
Catwoman glanced at Lin Chen."Would you really do something like this?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
"I knew it—you wouldn't!" Several others stared at him in unison.
Lin Chen was speechless."Aren't you still sick? The SWAT mission was handled by you and Poison Ivy. You even have self-healing abilities!"
Poison Ivy smiled awkwardly.
"If I were really sick, I wouldn't have gone!" she said.
Black Widow muttered, "We were just making a hypothetical assumption. Hypothetical!"
"Ah, women—so troublesome." Lin Chen smiled disdainfully and turned to the livestream screen."Dear viewers, it's really hard-earned that they're bickering with each other like this!"
As a result, the netizens attacked him en masse.
Lin Chen let out a long sigh and continued doing readings for netizens—twice calculating fortunes, catching one criminal, and helping one person avoid being scammed.
In total, he gained forty merit points.
Seeing that he was eligible for another draw, he immediately used it.
[Ah! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a purple-tier reward: The Six Divine Taoist Abilities—Tongue of Discernment.Begging for food at Wanpin Pavilion, knowing the nature of all things through taste, distinguishing flavors with the tongue.]
Lin Chen was speechless."What is this—do you want me to become Shennong or a food critic? Forget it, at least it's not completely useless."
He moved his tongue slightly and discovered that it had become extremely flexible.
That evening, Batman called."Master, tomorrow is Superman's burial. Let's take the private jet."
"Alright," Lin Chen replied. "But Wayne, do you have enough space? I have quite a few people with me."
Wayne's mouth twitched."Master, don't worry. There's more than enough."
Lin Chen hung up and informed everyone.
Catwoman and Poison Ivy sighed."Ah, we can't attend in person. Sorry."
Jill nodded."You already went once last time, under my special police guarantee."
"It's fine," Lin Chen said. "I'll carry your thoughts with me."
Black Widow had other matters to attend to. She sealed a white packet and asked Lin Chen to deliver it on her behalf.
The next morning, Lin Chen and the others boarded Batman's private jet and flew to Kansas, in the central United States.
Superman's father had been a farmer who mainly grew corn.
Kansas—near the small town of Smallville.
It was autumn now. The cornfields in front of Superman's home had withered into dead leaves, giving the entire area a desolate, run-down appearance.
Dressed in black, Lin Chen and his group arrived at Martha Kent's home.
Many people had already gathered—nearby townsfolk, Clark's colleagues from the Daily Planet, his editor-in-chief, and a former classmate who knew his identity as Superman.
Wade and Vanessa had also rushed over.
"Master, this is my wife, Vanessa," Wade emphasized deliberately.
Lin Chen was speechless. What kind of mindset is that?
Vanessa looked Lin Chen up and down."Master, you're my idol. You're handsome and full of justice."
Lin Chen smiled."Wade, it's truly a blessing to have such a sexy and beautiful wife."
Vanessa glanced at Lin Chen—his looks were even better than hers—and replied,"It's the Taoist priest who's blessed."
When Lin Chen turned around, he saw Pepper. She and Tony had arrived as well.
Lin Chen walked over and hugged Pepper, then looked at Tony. Neither of them wanted to hug.
Pepper was speechless."Men… honestly."
She soon began chatting with Diana, Mera, Harley Quinn, and the others.
Iron Man looked over enviously."Master, I really admire you."
He paused, then added,"Superman's state funeral is also being held in New York today. The coffin there is empty."
Lin Chen said,"Maybe the rumors are true. I think Superman would be willing to live as a reporter."
Tony nodded in agreement.
Bruce Wayne walked over and glanced at Tony."You're much easier on the eyes when you're not wearing that metal armor."
Tony rolled his eyes."And you look a bit like a schoolteacher when you're not wearing your headgear."
Diana walked over, shaking her head, her long legs drawing attention."I really feel like I'm hanging out with a group of children."
Lin Chen wrapped an arm around her waist and whispered,"Diana, should we buy matching couple baby dolls?"
Diana shot him a look and went back to chatting with Pepper and the others.
Martha Kent and Lois Lane approached, their expressions heavy with grief.
"Thank you for coming to Clark's funeral."
Lin Chen and the others expressed their condolences.
Martha grasped Lin Chen's hand tightly."Daoist, you said Clark will be resurrected. Is that really true?"
Lin Chen replied solemnly,"Don't worry, Martha. I would never deceive a mother waiting for her son's return, or a wife waiting for her husband's return…"
Both Martha and Lois broke into tears and thanked Lin Chen repeatedly.
Lin Chen waved his hand."Clark sacrificed himself for everyone. It's only right that we remember him."
He took out two jade pendants and handed them to them."Wear these close to your bodies. They'll help regulate your health and nourish your skin. When Clark returns, wouldn't it be good for him to see you both healthy and radiant?"
They thanked him again and then went to greet other mourners.
The editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet approached and said,"Clark really had influence. Stark, Wayne—even judges showed up!"
He lowered his voice mysteriously."Isn't this a bit too high-profile?"
Lin Chen replied that he was simply attending a friend's funeral.
Tony asked curiously,"Should I buy the Daily Planet?"
Wayne responded calmly,"Didn't I already buy it?"
The editor-in-chief broke into a cold sweat and hurried away—none of these people were ones he could afford to offend.
"The deceased shall rise again…"
The priest spoke before the gravestone, and the funeral concluded under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Not only were Clark's funeral expenses paid by Batman, but even the bank that had repossessed their land and home contributed.
Iron Man had absolutely no opportunity to show off his money.
Mindy ran over with her phone."Stinky Taoist priest, look!"
Lin Chen glanced at it."There was a terrorist attack at Superman's funeral in New York. A mysterious 'Homelander' stepped in to stop it!"
"Wearing a 1.8-meter cape, able to fly, heat vision…"
"The old Superman is dead. A new Superman is born!"
He handed the phone to Batman and Iron Man.
Tony was speechless."What is this 'Homelander' supposed to be?"
"He's clearly a knockoff Superman."
Batman said grimly,"He was once ranked number one on the killer list. Now that Superman is dead, he wants to whitewash his image and replace Superman."
Lin Chen said calmly,"He's not alone. He's part of a group—experimental subjects from a laboratory."
"He's stopped being a killer and is trying to become an internet celebrity instead."
Batman clenched his fists."If those bastards dare to come to Gotham—"
Lin Chen shook his head."They'll stay in New York. Ida Wang is already busy enough."
"Superman is dead. It's time for the demons to dance," Tony sighed.
Batman sighed as well."I have a feeling the world is about to fall into chaos. I hope it's just my imagination."
