Being afraid to cause trouble is mediocrity? Ma Hongjun deliberately picks a fight

Li Xiaoyao took out a mirror and looked at himself. The phoenix imprint on his forehead flowed under the light, creating a peculiar contrast with his temperament.

"Now that the Phoenix Universe Cover has successfully recognized me as its master, it's fine even if the attributes don't match. One day, this Phoenix God King inheritance will be mine to use!"

Li Xiaoyao put away the mirror and saw that everything in the room had been melted by flames. The entire top floor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel was completely destroyed.

Li Xiaoyao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had activated his domain, "City of Eating Time," to cover the entire top floor in advance. This not only isolated the leakage of fire-attribute Divine Power but also concealed all sounds and flames. Even the high-pitched phoenix cry was not revealed, and no one noticed anything unusual.

If it weren't for this, once others saw the scene just now, with all the flames and phoenix phenomena, it would have undoubtedly led to a lot of trouble.

"I'll go find the hotel manager to change rooms and sleep!"

"It'll save me the trouble of using time reversal back and forth!"

Glancing at the messy floor, Li Xiaoyao turned and left directly.

It was also fortunate that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel was Ning Rongrong's family's property, and they were staying on the most luxurious top floor. The loss of items inside was indeed considerable.

If it were someone else, they would have to pay a large sum in compensation, and might even be held accountable by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel.

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong was his girlfriend, so he naturally didn't need to pay for the damages. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel would also not hold him responsible, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Li! Hello!"

As he walked out of the hotel's top floor, the staff in the corridor saw Li Xiaoyao and quickly stepped forward to greet him with a bow.

Catching a glimpse of the mess on the entire floor, a hint of surprise flashed in the staff member's eyes, but they dared not ask any further questions.

Li Xiaoyao's expression was calm. He went straight to the hotel manager and got straight to the point.

"Hello! Manager Ning!"

"I had some trouble during my cultivation just now and accidentally burned down the entire floor. I'll need your help to arrange a new place to stay."

Manager Ning heard this and immediately nodded in agreement, his tone respectful.

"Young Master Li, please rest assured. I will arrange it for you right away. You don't need to worry about anything."

The manager's surname was Ning, and he was a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He knew about Li Xiaoyao's relationship with Ning Rongrong. Let alone burning down a floor by accident, even if he had demolished the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel, it would have been fine.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not lacking in wealth.

Under Manager Ning's arrangement, a new residence, no less luxurious than the previous one, was prepared.

Li Xiaoyao pushed open the door and entered. The room was exquisitely and luxuriously furnished, identical to the previous one.

After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed honestly. His fingertips rubbed the Phoenix Universe Cover in his palm, and the imprint on his forehead flashed slightly. He thought to himself:

"The fire-attribute Divine Power within the Phoenix Universe Cover is stronger than I imagined. It might be of great benefit to my trip to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."

If possible--

He wanted to take care of Tang Hao and the Titan Giant Ape.

After all, as the saying goes--

The early bird catches the worm; he who strikes late suffers.

Rather than constantly guarding against Tang Hao in the future, and preventing the Titan Giant Ape from sacrificing itself to Tang San, it would be better for him to eliminate these two potential threats early to avoid prolonged trouble and endless future problems.

As he was contemplating, Ning Rongrong, looking very anxious, pushed open the door and strode in.

"Brother Xiaoyao, are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong felt Li Xiaoyao all over, and after confirming that her beloved was unharmed, she asked softly.

"Brother Xiaoyao, Uncle Ning just told me that you had some trouble during your cultivation and destroyed the entire floor. You scared me to death."

"What exactly happened?"

"Did something go wrong during your cultivation?"

"Are you injured?"

Ning Rongrong's anxiety and concern warmed Li Xiaoyao's heart, making him feel that his efforts were not in vain.

He held Ning Rongrong's hand and gently comforted her.

"Sister Rongrong, please don't worry!"

"I'm fine, and I'm not injured!"

After confirming that Li Xiaoyao was truly alright, Ning Rongrong patted her chest, which was just beginning to show its curves, and asked with great concern.

"Brother Xiaoyao, confess! Are you secretly practicing some dangerous Martial Arts Manual behind Rongrong's back?"

"Brother Xiaoyao, you are very outstanding and have strong talent. For Rongrong's sake, you can't risk your own safety. Tell me anything, and we'll face it together, okay?"

Gently wiping away the tears in Ning Rongrong's eyes, Li Xiaoyao nodded very seriously and promised.

"Sister Rongrong, please rest assured!"

"You haven't married me yet, nor have you given me children. How could I easily get myself into trouble?"

"In future cultivation, I will definitely be careful and not act rashly. I will discuss everything with you and will never let you worry again."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaoyao added.

"The reason the top floor of the hotel was burned down is because elders in my family were worried about me being alone outside, so they specifically dispatched a divine beast, the Fire Phoenix, to protect me."

"It's precisely because the Fire Phoenix didn't control its fire-attribute Divine Power well when it first emerged from spatial travel, which ultimately led to the flames leaking out and burning the entire top floor."

"But fortunately, I used Chronos's domain, the City of Eating Time, in time to control the situation. This way, no casualties were caused, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel was saved from being burned down, and bigger trouble was avoided."

Ning Rongrong casually clapped her hands, her tone extremely arrogant.

"It's just a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Hotel!"

"So what if it burned down!"

"As long as Brother Xiaoyao is fine!"

Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't short on money.

Compared to a hotel, she cared more about her beloved.

Moreover, Brother Xiaoyao didn't intentionally burn down the top floor.

There was a reason for it; it was Brother Xiaoyao's elders who were worried and thus dispatched a divine beast, the Fire Phoenix...

Huh???

Wait!

Something's wrong, something's very wrong.

A divine beast Fire Phoenix???

She knew about the Fire Phoenix.

It was a very powerful existence, capable of contending with true dragons.

But this divine beast...

Could it be the legendary existence from the Soul Master world--

The one who reached godhood at level 100?

"Xiao... Brother Xiaoyao!"

"That divine beast Fire Phoenix you just mentioned..."

Ning Rongrong's mouth hung slightly open, her words trailing off.

If her guess was indeed correct, then the divine beast Fire Phoenix was a genuine Deity.

What did this mean?

It meant that Li Xiaoyao's family was a legendary Deity family!

A family that could command Deities must have a long heritage and profound background. She was merely the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; even if the sect was prominent, it paled in comparison to a Deity family. Was she truly worthy of Brother Xiaoyao, who came from such an extraordinary background?

At this moment, a sense of inferiority surged in Ning Rongrong's heart. Her fingers tightened slightly, her mind filled with unease, feeling the vast gap between herself and Li Xiaoyao, who came from a Deity family, and that she was simply not good enough for him.
