After leaving Weiyu Mountain Grotto-Heaven, Liu Xiaolou did not see Ninth Mistress again. According to Senior Su, Ninth Mistress needed to devote the coming days to nurturing her soul beast, cultivating and living alongside Snow Leopard as she prepared to break through to the Golden Core Realm. So there was no need for young people to linger over romance for now.
Liu Xiaolou thus left Weiyu Mountain and returned to Wulong Mountain. To be honest, he was dazed and absent-minded the entire way.
To finally be acknowledged by a great master of the age, who was willing to marry his precious daughter to him rather than make him marry into her family—of course that was tremendous news. What was more, that precious young lady was an unparalleled beauty like Ninth Mistress Su Wan.
But actually marrying such a stunning beauty also made him somewhat timid, his confidence severely lacking.
For instance, how would Yun Ao of White Cloud Villa react if he learned this news?
And then there was Tiger-Head Flood Dragon. As someone who had longed to lick Ninth Mistress's toes but never could, what reaction would he have upon seeing Liu Xiaolou in the future?
Then there was the Yin clan of Qingyu Sect. That centipede had always drooled over Ninth Mistress.
And all those outstanding young men of Jingxiang and Jiangnan—how was he supposed to face them?
Just thinking about it was worrying—wahahahahaha!
Of course, Senior Su's meaning had also been very clear: he had to form a core. While this made Liu Xiaolou feel highly regarded, it also filled him with pressure, worrying him half to death—
This time, he was genuinely worried, not putting on airs at all.
Leaving aside everything else, how long had it been since he entered the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage?
