The Envy-Inducing Man

"Zhou Li, let go!" Doudou said to Zhou Li.

"Hehehe, Doudou, don't even think about it. Once we catch you, we won't let you escape again!" The chains extended from Zhou Li's sleeves, with a sharp hook at the end.

This chain is Zhou Li's cultivation weapon, and his nickname is 'Heaven-Hiding Hook' Zhou Li. This chain hook can not only kill enemies, but also has unique methods for capturing enemies. This is also the reason why Zhou Li was appointed as one of the people in charge of capturing Doudou. Whether it is catching people or dogs, Zhou Li is very good at it.

"Yes, I won't let you escape, you monster!" the Demon Catchers girl above called out in her unique, childlike voice.

"Benefactor, this little monk... is going to die... ugh... ugh..." The little monk foamed at the mouth, finally unable to hold on any longer, and his body slumped downwards.

The young monk had only recently completed his Foundation Establishment, and before leaving the temple, he had only opened First-Grade Second Aperture, the 'Eye Aperture'. His physical strength was even inferior to that of Song Shuhang at present.

After being held around the neck for so long, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. In the end, the little monk was pulled off Doudou by the Demon Catchers girl.

"Aaaaaah!" A series of screams rang out, but it wasn't the little monk who made them; it was the scream of the Demon Catchers girl.

Clearly, this girl's cultivation level is not high... she has no ability to fly at all.

When the little monk fell off Doudou, she had to fall from the sky with him, and her chains were loosened from the little monk's neck.

Just then, Zhou Li gave a soft shout, and with a gentle pull, the chains wrapped around the demon-catching girl coiled up like a nimble snake, lifting both the girl and the little monk up at the same time.

The chains brought the young monk and the girl to Zhou Li's side. Then, the chain hooks floated in the void, twisting and turning like a giant snake.

The method of Sword Flight by Fourth-Grade Cultivator. Zhou Li's weapon is a chain hook, so this is 'Hook Flight'.

While hooks, as a unique weapon, offer some clever uses for binding, their speed is a major drawback compared to flying swords and throwing knives.

But that's alright, there's no rule that says a cultivator can only use one weapon!

A Sword Pellet flew out from Zhou Li's left sleeve, transforming into a beam of sword light.

This is a flying Sword Pellet specially provided to him by True Lord Yellow Mountain to facilitate his pursuit of Doudou. Its attack power is average, and it won't be very effective in combat.

The only advantage of this Sword Pellet is its speed; it's incredibly fast.

"Doudou, don't even think about running! The little monk is in my hands, do you think you can escape?" Zhou Li shouted.

Ahead, Doudou stopped, turned around, and gave a human-like smile, "I specifically asked you to pull the little monk down... because his neck was tangled, and I couldn't untangle him when he was on my back."

"Heh, no matter what, I'm going to bring you back today!" Zhou Li said in a deep voice—for the sake of his love, he had to bring Doudou back to Song Shuhang. Then, a seven-day happy date awaited him!

That's a full seven-day holiday! During those seven days, he could do whatever he wanted.

Thinking of this, Zhou Li became incredibly excited, his eyes turning red.

He stood atop the Sword Pellet, its blade gleaming, chain hook in hand, his eyes fixed menacingly on Doudou. He subtly locked onto Doudou's various escape routes...

"Don't panic, I have something good to show you." Doudou raised its left front paw and shook it, with a human-like smile on its face. With its other paw, it pulled a cell phone out of its fur and logged into an account.

Zhou Li watched Doudou Vigilance, afraid that it might do something sneaky.

At this moment, Doudou Dog revealed a strange smile and began to recite, "Ahem... Ah, Kissy, I miss you, miss you, miss you so much! I think about you day and night, so much that I can't sleep! Ah, Kissy, I can't wait to stay by your side forever! Ugh, how cheesy."

After Doudou finished reading... Zhou Li, who had been full of energy just moments before, suddenly looked strange, staring intently at Doudou and the phone in its hand.

"Should I continue reading? Oh, the next message was sent last night. Ah, Kissy! I miss you 365 days a year~ Soon, I can bring Doudou back. This time, as long as I hand Doudou over to a friend, I can get at least seven days of vacation! Kissy! I can't wait to fly to your side and spend these seven sweet days with you. I've already planned our dates for these seven days, and I'm sure we'll have wonderful memories. Hehehe." Doudou continued reading.

Zhou Li's eyes were already somewhat dazed, then he roared angrily, "Doudou, where did you get this chat history from!"

This is clearly a sweet chat between his private account and his girlfriend, ＠＃％×Fairy. Doudou has no bottom line; did she somehow manage to intercept his chat history?

His private account was not in the "Nine Provinces Number One Group" or with other Cultivator World, so it was not specially protected and it was not difficult for his messages to be intercepted.

"You must think I hacked your alternate account, right?" Doudou chuckled. "How naive!"

As she spoke, Doudou turned her phone over so Zhou Li could see her phone account.

The chat account displayed a beautiful ＠＃％×Fairy avatar and was filled with sweet words sent by Zhou Li's alternate account.

"Then, you must have thought I hacked your 'Kissy's' account, right?" Doudou smiled mischievously, "You're so naive!"

"Let me show you how cruel this world is—from beginning to end, all the people you've Kissy with online, talking about feelings, the future, and a happy life, are me, Doudou!" Doudou laughed triumphantly.

Zhou Li froze.

"Impossible! I've definitely met her in real life!" Zhou Li exclaimed.

"Hehehe, with my charm, I could easily find any female cultivator from any sect, cuddle up to them, and get them to do me a small favor. It's a piece of Doudou. Think back to your first meeting with her. Didn't she only ever show a gentle smile, seemingly accepting of everything about you? But she just wouldn't talk to you about your online chats?" Doudou's smile was like a devil's.

"Impossible, you're lying to me," Zhou Li said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, impossible? You're so naive, Zhou Li!" Doudou laughed loudly, "Do you really think any female cultivator could tolerate a man like you? You don't have time for her all year round, you're chasing after a Pekingese all over the world every day, leaving her alone in her boudoir?"

After a pause, Doudou shook her phone screen vigorously. "There are no female cultivators like that in this world. If there were, they would only exist in dreams and deception! See? This is reality!"

Zhou Li was stunned, as if he were a statue.

In the instant Zhou Li was stunned... Doudou moved like lightning, darted over, picked up the little monk, and fled quickly into the distance.

The little monk lay on Doudou's body, looking with some concern at Zhou Li, who stood behind him dumbfounded.

"Senior Doudou, isn't it a bit too much for us to treat Senior Brother Zhou like this?" the little monk asked cautiously. He felt that Senior Brother Zhou was quite pitiful.

The female cultivator in his mind was actually played by Senior Doudou? Just thinking about Senior Brother Zhou flirting with a Pekingese makes the little monk feel like he would go crazy if he were Senior Brother Zhou.

"Pitiful my foot... Others are envious of him." Doudou sneered, "He chases after a Pekingese all over the world every day, yet a female cultivator is actually willing to wait for him to go on a date. This kind of scenario that only exists in dreams and deception actually happened to this guy. This damn realist, I wonder how many people envy him."

"Huh? Wasn't that female cultivator you, Senior Doudou, in disguise?" the little monk asked in confusion.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would spend every day sending cheesy texts to a male like Zhou Li? I secretly got that login account by acting cute at that female cultivator's house for several days." Doudou Dou chuckled.

"I have a feeling that you, senior, are very likely to do that kind of thing," the little monk said with certainty. He wasn't sure about other people, but if it was Senior Doudou, she really might do something so shameless.

"Besides, Senior Doudou, lying is bad. You'll get a spanking," the little monk said earnestly.

Doudou: "..."

"Believe it or not, I'll throw you off the mountain, you bastard! I told this huge lie to save you!" Doudou roared.

"I'm sorry!" the young monk readily admitted his mistake, but after a long pause, he added earnestly, "But lying is really bad."

At this moment, Doudou really wanted to send the little monk back.

Behind him, Zhou Li stood blankly on the flying sword, his face deathly pale.

"Uncle, don't cry," the Demon Catchers girl said cautiously.

"Hehe... Doudou, Doudou! How dare you toy with my feelings." Zhou Li let out a strange laugh, "I'll fight you to the death!"

With a flash of light from his Sword Escape, Zhou Li, carrying the Demon Catchers girl, roared off in pursuit of Doudou.

"Go, Uncle! Let's kill that Great Demon Hound!" the Demon Catchers girl shouted in her unique, childlike voice.

"Kill it! Kill it!" Zhou Li roared.

*********************

Wenzhou City, Song Shuhang's home.

Song Shuhang opened his eyes, ending his meditation for the day.

"There's still no news from Senior White. Will he be able to bring Doudou and the others back tomorrow?" he wondered to himself.

"Also... I didn't finish my daily cultivation this morning... I'll have to wait until everyone at home is asleep before I sneak out to cultivate. The accumulation of Blood Qi in my Ear Aperture is faster than I expected. I should break through by tomorrow at the latest," Song Shuhang murmured.

I wonder if, after the Ear Aperture are opened, there's a chance to gain an Ear Aperture Talent?

There are four acupoints: eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. Opening one gives you a chance to unlock a unique acupoint talent. Hopefully, I can awaken a useful talent!
