"Alas..."
Aaron left Fourth Madam's house with a sigh as well.
Not to mention that he had too many secrets—even if he truly married her, there would only be heartbreak in the future.
Fourth Madam was already past thirty, and women in ancient times aged quickly. In another ten years, she would probably be showing every sign of old age.
Yet he would still be in the full bloom of youth, still a young man!
How would Fourth Madam be able to bear that then?
"When flowers are fit to be plucked, pluck them without delay; do not wait until no flowers remain, only to snap bare branches... Even heaven and earth may one day come to an end, but this endless regret will never cease..."
A few days later.
Aaron glanced at his status panel:
[Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)] [Talent: Longevity and Immortality] [Age: 23] [Realm: Bright Force] [Martial Arts: Flowing Sand Palm (100/100), Black Sand Palm, Fourth Layer (1/300)] [Skills: Fishing (80/100), Incomplete Sea-Gathering Art (2/5)]
"I've finally gotten started on the fourth layer of Black Sand Palm..."
Aaron looked at the realm entry and nodded. "Looks like I'll need to cultivate the fourth layer to completion and strike out with three inches of hidden force... before my realm can truly break through into Hidden Force."
"Still, reaching Hidden Force would make me a master in the prefectural city."
"With Azure Dragon Life-Seizing Soup and that life-shortening pay-to-win training method... it probably won't take too long."
The next day.
The Yellow Ant Rebels—no, the righteous army—put up another proclamation.
General Song Shentong was to assume the title of 'Southern Heavenly King'! And while they were at it, they would be beheading Forest Kingdom loyalists captured at the marketplace entrance.
Aaron was utterly speechless.
