The next day, Hua Qiang was dragged out of bed by Ye Bingxue early in the morning.
He mumbled and grumbled, clearly not happy about waking up.
Suddenly, a soft little hand touched his ear, caressing it gently.
He instantly woke up, his grumbling abruptly ceasing.
"Oh my, what lovely weather today, sunshine so bright, breeze so pleasant... Oh my, who is this beautiful lady?
She's actually come to my house, am I seeing things?"
Giggle, giggle, giggle!
Ye Bingxue giggled like a chicken at Hua Qiang's teasing.
"Brother, your ability to talk nonsense is getting stronger. The sun hasn't even woken up yet, where is this bright sunshine coming from?"
"But the latter part of your sentence is quite true, I like that!"
"Alright, no more wasting time, let's go eat breakfast quickly, and then we can head to Sister Mei Ting's martial arts school."
"We accepted her money, and we haven't visited their place yet, it's really not proper."
She felt that the hundred thousand yuan sitting in her account was a bit... awkward!
"Okay, the boss decides!"
After delivering a flattering remark, Hua Qiang perked up and finished his morning routine at top speed.
He scarfed down some porridge and then a few large meat buns, patting his stomach.
Full!
Diao Xiaobai watched her master eat, a look of shared understanding flashing across her face.
If Hua Qiang had noticed this, he would have definitely slapped her.
Who says we're of the same kind?
You're a beast, I'm human!
Don't lump us together.
Now, there wasn't a trace of his former bulk on him. He had the physique of a standard handsome man.
His muscles were filled with power, truly the type who looked slim in clothes and built when undressed!
Ye Bingxue looked at Hua Qiang's physique, her eyes sparkling with golden light, joy evident in every feature.
She hadn't disliked Hua Qiang when he was fat before, and now that he had the physique of a handsome man, she liked him even more.
Everyone appreciates beauty, regardless of gender.
Men love beautiful women, and women equally like handsome men!
Ye Bingxue was no exception.
The two had grown up together since childhood, and when they were very, very young, she knew her parents had found her a husband, a child-groom.
They would grow up together, then get married when they were older, have children, and then...
Anyway, from a young age, she had decided that Hua Qiang was her man, and she would be Hua Qiang's wife.
Moreover, Hua Qiang had always taken good care of her since childhood.
He would give her the best food and stand up to anyone who dared to bully her.
Even if he couldn't win, he would fight, just so she wouldn't be bullied.
Ye Bingxue also regarded Hua Qiang as her guardian, the pillar of her life.
Later, Hua Qiang fell seriously ill and gradually became a super-fatty.
But she never showed any disdain. In her heart, regardless of his weight, Hua Qiang was her life's guardian, the partner she would grow old with.
The two of them, along with the ferret, left the house and drove a car towards the People's Avenue in the western area of the base.
This Modu Base was divided into five major zones: East, South, West, North, and Central.
Hua Qiang lived in the North District, and Mei Ting's home was in the West District. Her martial arts school was located in the central part of the West District's People's Avenue.
The location was excellent, with high foot traffic, making business very good.
As a result, it was also coveted by competitors, who wanted to claim the territory for themselves.
Therefore, friction and even duels were common.
Two hours later, the car stopped in front of a five-story building.
Mei Ting stood at the entrance, craning her neck and constantly looking around.
Ye Bingxue had called Mei Ting earlier, saying they would arrive soon.
Filled with anticipation, Mei Ting had hurried to the entrance to welcome them.
Hua Qiang parked the car by the roadside. He and the ferret got out and walked towards Mei Ting.
Mei Ting's eyes lit up when she saw Hua Qiang. What a handsome young man!
Having shed his previous bulk, Hua Qiang was practically radiating light, dazzling everyone.
"Coach Hua, Bingxue, you're here!"
"Oh, since when did you get such a cute little squirrel?"
Diao Xiaobai rolled her eyes and pouted unhappily, "I'm not a squirrel! Your whole family are squirrels!
I am a ferret!
A Lightning Ferret!"
Mei Ting's hearing was very sharp. Although the Lightning Ferret's voice was small, she could still hear it clearly.
A look of embarrassment flickered across her face.
Her own knowledge was rather shallow; she had mistaken a ferret for a squirrel.
She sensed the ferret's cultivation level and was shocked.
She couldn't even sense it, which meant the ferret was at a very high level.
Such a powerful exotic beast was actually the pet of these two people. This made her feel a sense of awe towards Hua Qiang.
This person was very mysterious!
Ye Bingxue gently patted the Lightning Ferret's head.
"Xiaobai, don't talk nonsense, mind your manners!"
Diao Xiaobai had now been assigned to Ye Bingxue by Hua Qiang. From now on, she would follow this girl.
Ye Bingxue doted on her immensely, constantly feeding her delicious things.
Chili strips, potato chips, cakes, and more. She had never eaten these things before and found them incredibly tasty.
Her eyes watered, and she felt as though her entire life as a ferret had been wasted.
Led by Mei Ting, the group entered the Zhenxing Martial Arts School.
The entrance opened into a large hall with a wooden floor. Various training equipment lined the sides, with weapons like swords, sabers, spears, halberds, axes, rakes, and hooks, the eighteen types of weapons, neatly displayed.
Some students were training, sweating profusely, while others sparred, honing their skills in practical combat.
Two middle-aged men, wearing coach uniforms, were teaching and guiding these students.
Hua Qiang sensed that one was a mid-level Martial Artist, and the other a high-level Martial Artist. They were barely qualified to teach these students, as none of them had yet entered the Martial Artist ranks.
Against the far wall, a grand tutor chair was placed. A middle-aged man with white hair, a pale face, no beard, and a slightly thin build sat there, watching everyone with a grave expression.
This was Mei Zhenxing, the founder of the Zhenxing Martial Arts School.
Mei Ting walked up to Mei Zhenxing and exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, Coach Hua is here!"
Mei Zhenxing looked towards Hua Qiang, his eyes instantly brightening. He quickly stood up and walked towards Hua Qiang, extending his hand.
He could feel Hua Qiang's vigorous Blood Qi and powerful aura.
He had only felt such an aura from Guild Leader Mo Wuqiong.
This young man… could it be…
Mei Zhenxing was startled by his own thought, then shook his head and dismissed it.
The other party was simply too young, and according to his daughter, he had only recently been certified as a Martial Artist a few days ago.
Even if Hua Qiang had extraordinary talent and improved rapidly, he couldn't believe that someone so young had reached the Martial Ancestor realm.
If that were true, how could he and others who had cultivated their entire lives face this? Where would they put their faces?
What was the point of their lifelong cultivation?
It was as if they had cultivated their entire lives for nothing.
Just as the two were about to shake hands and exchange pleasantries, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. A voice arrogantly shouted, "Old Man Mei, are you ready?
After this fight today, this martial arts school will be mine!"
