When Li Hao took the wine and white sugar out of the system in a drunken haze last night, the little ones were completely terrified. This kind of ability to conjure objects out of thin air only belonged to the legendary immortals.
"I reckon Third Brother drank too much yesterday, and since we still have important matters to attend to, we won't wait for him. Mountains and rivers always meet, and we'll see each other again in the pugilistic world. As for the fine wine, I, as the eldest brother, will shamelessly accept it, haha," Qiao Feng said, cupping his fists.
"Eldest Brother, no need for formalities. We'll meet again in the pugilistic world later," Ning Zhongze was also a child of the pugilistic world and naturally understood these rules.
"Sister-in-law, when Third Brother wakes up, please have a word with him and tell him to exercise some restraint. After all, too much indulgence hurts the body," Li Xunhuan deliberated for a long time before finally saying it with a thickened skin.
"Thank you for the reminder, Second Brother. I... I'll tell him," Ning Zhongze replied with a blushing face.
It seemed the commotion the three of them made last night was far too loud, and it had been overheard by Li Xunhuan next door.
Watching the two drive away in their carriage, Ning Zhongze secretly resolved that she would never spoil Li Hao like this again.
System, check yesterday's rewards, Li Hao asked in his room, rubbing his temples hard. The aftereffect of a hangover was a splitting headache.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully winning over Li Xunhuan and Qiao Feng, completing the long-term main hidden quest: Assimilate the Sons of Destiny. Rewards are being tallied...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Attribute-less Inner Force *20, Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom *999, Villain Points *4000]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Martial Art: Six Meridian Divine Sword. Secret Technique: Dragon Claw Hand]
Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom: A single pill plunges a dying person into a dormant state. The second pill: awakens a person to receive treatment without worsening their injuries. The third pill can instantly restore all injuries back to their original state, worthy of being called a divine medicine.
[System, extract and fuse the inner force, and use Villain Points to comprehend: Stars Shift, Six Meridian Divine Sword]
In an instant, the Villain Points were completely depleted, exchanged for Li Hao's deep-level comprehension of Stars Shift and the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Why didn't Li Hao comprehend the Dragon Claw Hand? Didn't every man know this martial art?
[System, why is my cultivation only at the Postnatal Peak? Didn't I already possess sixty years of inner force? You didn't embezzle some of it in the middle, did you?!] Li Hao checked his own cultivation and felt a bit dumbfounded.
The inner force he had worked so hard to earn had only raised his cultivation from the Postnatal Late-stage to the peak. Wasn't this a bit too metaphysical?
[Host, what the system rewards is Attribute-less Inner Force. If the host were using the Quanzhen Sect's ordinary mental cultivation method, sixty years of inner force could have allowed you to reach the Innate Mid-stage,] the system explained.
[However, the host later switched to cultivating the Lesser Formless Art. The Lesser Formless Art belongs to top-tier Daoist internal cultivation methods, focusing on foundations. Reaching the Postnatal Peak with sixty years is already quite good.]
Damn it, if he had known, he wouldn't have bothered changing techniques!
Yi Lin had already reached the Postnatal Mid-stage cultivation, and Ning Zhongze had even broken through to the Grandmaster realm.
As for himself... he really couldn't bring himself to say it.
"You're awake? Drink a bowl of honey water to warm your stomach," just as Li Hao was complaining internally, Ning Zhongze walked in holding a bowl of steaming honey water.
"Wife, I love you to death," Li Hao wrapped his arms around her waist, his head continuously nuzzling against her.
"Who's your wife? Drink it up quickly. Drink less alcohol next time; drinking too much hurts the body," Ning Zhongze admonished.
Alas, no wonder so many people in later generations liked older women! It turned out older women really knew how to cherish a man.
If it were those modern young girls, they would probably still be dragging you around, saying things like "a deep bond means bottoms up!"
"So you're not my wife? Then who was it last night shouting at the top of their lungs and calling me husband?" Li Hao couldn't speak anymore because his mouth was covered.
"Keep your voice down. What if someone hears us?" Ning Zhongze's pretty face flushed bright red, a sight that made Li Hao's index finger twitch with desire.
She was an aging beauty, still retaining her charm!
"Let them hear! We're an old married couple, what's there to care about anymore!" Li Hao's paws began to act restless.
The plan for a day lies in the morning; if the young do not work hard, the old will grieve in vain.
"Don't move around wildly. Your second brother told you to exercise some restraint and take care of your health. Besides, you're already so famous in the pugilistic world. If my affair were exposed, it wouldn't look good on you, and if Senior Brother found out, it would spell trouble," Ning Zhongze said with a conflicted expression.
For the sake of Li Hao's reputation, she even had the urge to run away secretly.
"What is there to fear? Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be stopped by earth. As for that piece of work Yue Buqun, I could torture him to death in a minute. Chances are he can't even beat you right now. Furthermore, matters in the pugilistic world have always been decided by whose fists are bigger and who makes sense. Don't even think about running; if you run, I'll go capture Yue Lingshan to pay off the debt," Li Hao said shamelessly.
"Well, you shameless wretch, you're still plotting against Lingshan! I'll bite you to death, you scoundrel!" Upon hearing that Li Hao wanted to snatch Yue Lingshan again, Ning Zhongze flew into a rage, directly swinging her fists as she pounced on him.
Subsequently, the two engaged in another peak battle at the Peak of the Forbidden City.
"I'm telling you, you are not allowed to plot against Lingshan from now on," on the carriage, Ning Zhongze said to Li Hao with a dark face.
This fellow brought up Lingshan right in front of her at every turn. Lingshan was only in the blossoming youth of sixteen, and if she fell into this fellow's hands, she would probably be tortured into depression within a single night.
"Alright, alright, I heard you." Ah, as expected, without using the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, he was still just an ordinary mortal.
Li Hao rested his head on Ning Zhongze's lap, his eye sockets bruised black. Clearly, a bit of excessive indulgence had damaged his kidneys.
It seemed he must seriously study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon in the future; otherwise, at such a young age, he was quite likely to become a kidney-deficient patient. After all, the system's tasks were always so improper.
There were 999 names listed on the Gallery of Beauties, and they frequently changed. If he were to collect all members, he would probably end up like the Yellow Emperor, bedding three thousand women before ascending in broad daylight.
"Young Master, it seems something has happened up ahead. Someone has blocked the road and won't let us pass," Yan Shun saw a fat man who looked extremely ugly, carrying a large pair of scissors, and standing less than a meter and a half tall right in the middle of the road, blocking their path.
"What the heck? With so many of you, are you still afraid of just one guy?" Li Hao asked strangely.
Yan Shun was at the Postnatal Late-stage, and there were over thirty people at the Postnatal Mid-stage. Were they really afraid of a single person?
"Uh, Young Master, that man is very likely an Innate Master, or perhaps even a Grandmaster," Yan Shun said helplessly.
Cavaliers who killed without batting an eye were called vicious, not brain-damaged. They weren't going to foolishly rush up and throw their lives away when they knew they couldn't win.
"Why don't I go out and take a look?" Ning Zhongze said, looking at Li Hao's exhausted face.
That was for making this little hooligan always try to plot against Lingshan! Now he knew the extent of her abilities!
