Young People, Exercise Restraint

When Li Hao took alcohol and white sugar out of the system while drunk last night, the children were all terrified. This ability to retrieve objects from thin air was something only legendary immortals possessed.

"Third brother must have been quite drunk yesterday. We have important matters to attend to, so we won't wait for him. The world is vast, and we'll meet again in the Jianghu. As for the fine wine, as your elder brother, I'll shamelessly accept it. Haha." Qiao Feng cupped his hands in a salute.

"Elder brother, there's no need to be polite. We'll meet again in the Jianghu." Ning Zhongze was also a woman of the Jianghu and naturally understood these customs.

"Sister-in-law, when third brother wakes up, please tell him to be more moderate. After all, too much exertion can harm the body." Li Xunhuan thought for a long time before finally saying it with a thick skin.

"Thank you for your reminder, second brother. I... I will tell him." Ning Zhongze replied, her face flushed.

It seemed the commotion the three of them caused last night was too loud, and Li Xunhuan next door had heard it.

Watching the two leave in their carriage, Ning Zhongze secretly resolved that she could no longer indulge Li Hao.

[System, check yesterday's rewards.] In the room, Li Hao asked, rubbing his forehead vigorously. The after-effect of being drunk was a headache.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully winning over Li Xunhuan and Qiao Feng, completing the long-term main hidden quest: Assimilate the Child of Destiny. Reward statistics are being calculated...]

[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 Skill: Six Meridian Divine Sword. Secret Skill: Dragon Claw Hand]

Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom: One pill puts a dying person into a dormant state. The second pill allows one to wake up and receive treatment without their injuries worsening. The third pill can instantly restore all injuries to their original state, truly a divine medicine.

[System, extract and fuse Inner Force, use Villain Points to comprehend: Stars Shift, Six Meridian Divine Sword]

In an instant, all the Villain Points were consumed, and in exchange, Li Hao gained a deep understanding of Stars Shift and Six Meridian Divine Sword.

Why didn't Li Hao comprehend Dragon Claw Hand? Wasn't that martial art something any man could learn?

[System, why is my cultivation only at the Postnatal peak? Don't I already have sixty years of Inner Force? You didn't skim off some, did you!] Li Hao checked his cultivation and was a bit dumbfounded.

The Inner Force he had painstakingly earned had only elevated his cultivation from Postnatal late-stage to peak Postnatal. Wasn't this a bit too fantastical?

[Host, the system rewarded Attribute-less Inner Force. If the host had used a common cultivation technique from the Quanzhen Sect, sixty years of Inner Force would have allowed you to reach the Innate Mid-stage.] the system explained.

[However, the host later changed to cultivating the Lesser Formless Art. The Lesser Formless Art is a top-tier Daoist Inner Energy cultivation technique that focuses on the foundation. Reaching the Postnatal peak with sixty years of Inner Force is already quite good.]

Damn it, if I had known, why would I have bothered changing cultivation techniques!

Yi Lin's cultivation was already at Postnatal Mid-stage, and Ning Zhongze had even broken through to Grandmaster.

As for himself... it was truly embarrassing to even mention.

"You're awake. Drink some honey water to warm your stomach." Just as Li Hao was complaining, Ning Zhongze came in with a bowl of steaming honey water.

"Wife, I love you to death." Li Hao hugged her waist, burying his head in her.

"Who's your wife? Drink it quickly. Drink less next time; too much alcohol harms your body," Ning Zhongze instructed.

Sigh, no wonder so many people in later generations liked older women; older women truly knew how to dote on people!

If it were young girls from modern times, they'd probably drag you along, saying "deep feelings, one gulp!"

"So you're not my wife? Then who was shouting 'husband' last night?" Li Hao couldn't speak because his mouth was covered.

"Keep your voice down. What if someone hears?" Ning Zhongze's pretty face turned bright red, which made Li Hao's desire surge.

A mature woman's charm is still captivating!

"So what if they hear? We're an old married couple, why should we care!" Li Hao's hands began to get restless.

The morning sets the tone for the day. Those who don't strive when young will only lament when old.

"Don't move around. Your second brother told you to be moderate and take care of your body. Also, you're already so famous in the Jianghu. If my identity is exposed, it will affect you badly. It would be troublesome if my senior brother found out," Ning Zhongze said with a conflicted expression.

For Li Hao's reputation, she even had the thought of secretly leaving.

"What are you afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. As for Yue Buqun, I can defeat him in minutes. He might not even be able to beat you now. Besides, in the Jianghu, whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules. Don't think about running away. If you run, I'll capture Yue Lingshan as compensation," Li Hao said shamelessly.

"You shameless scoundrel! You're still thinking about snatching Lingshan? I'll bite you to death!" Ning Zhongze was furious when she heard Li Hao mention Yue Lingshan again and lunged at him with a punch.

Afterward, the two began their ultimate battle at the Peak of the Forbidden City.

"I'm telling you, don't you dare think about Lingshan again," Ning Zhongze said to Li Hao with a dark expression on the carriage.

This guy, he kept mentioning Lingshan in front of her. Lingshan was only sixteen years old. If she fell into this guy's hands, she'd probably be driven to depression in one night.

"Alright, alright, I heard you." Sigh, indeed, without using the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, he was still just an ordinary person.

Li Hao rested his head on Ning Zhongze's lap, his eyes dark circles, clearly suffering from excessive indulgence that had damaged his kidneys.

It seemed he had to study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon thoroughly from now on. Otherwise, he might become a kidney-deficient person at such a young age. After all, the system's missions were always so improper.

There were 999 names on the Gallery of Beauties, and it changed frequently. If he collected all the members, he might end up like the Yellow Emperor, having three thousand women and then Ascending in Broad Daylight.

"Young master, it seems something has happened ahead. They've blocked the road and aren't letting us pass," Yan Shun said, spotting a very ugly, short, chubby man less than five feet tall, carrying a large pair of scissors, standing in the middle of the road, blocking their path.

"What? With so many of you, are you afraid of just one person?" Li Hao asked strangely.

Yan Shun was at Postnatal late-stage, with over thirty people at Postnatal mid-stage. Were they afraid of one person?

"Uh, young master, that person is likely an Innate Master, or even a Grandmaster," Yan Shun replied helplessly.

The knights were ruthless killers; that was called ferocity, not stupidity. They wouldn't charge forward to their deaths if they knew they couldn't win.

"How about I go take a look?" Ning Zhongze said, looking at the exhausted Li Hao.

Let this little hooligan keep thinking about Lingshan. Now you know my capabilities!
