Newcomers Join the Group, Li Hao's New Mission

"Owner."

As soon as Li Hao got home, Xiao Daji clung to him like a koala.

She rubbed her little head against Li Hao's face, her long, furry ears tickling Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled and patted Daji's head, saying, "Alright, get down now. Master is going to take a good bath."

Although with Li Hao's current cultivation level, there was absolutely no need for him to take a bath.

But his old habits still make him like to take a good bath every few days.

Little Daji's big, watery eyes, like exquisite gemstones, looked at Li Hao expectantly and said coquettishly, "I want to bathe with Master."

Li Hao sighed helplessly.

As the group admin has said before, I am a respectable person.

If you keep acting like this, people will misunderstand that I, the group admin, am a gentleman.

But thinking about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with taking your pet to the bath, right? It should be fine, right?

Well, if you think about it that way, there's actually no problem at all.

It's just a pet, after all.

After thinking it through, Li Hao said, "Okay, let's wash together."

Little Daji cheered and jumped off Li Hao, running towards the bathroom.

She needs to prepare hot water and other things in advance.

The bathing process is harmonious, like that of a mythical beast; absolutely no gentlemanly things happen.

After washing up, Li Hao leaned back on the sofa in his pajamas.

Little Daji curled up on his lap like a pet.

Li Hao stroked Little Daji's fluffy tail, then suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone else at home, and asked, "Where did Linger go?"

Little Daji said, "Linger is currently cultivating and will probably not wake up until tomorrow or the day after."

Spiritual practice.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed.

Linger has been here for some time now, and it seems she hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a master yet.

besides

Li Hao pondered the thought of Zhao Ling'er 'Nuwa bloodline from Nuwa and the curse of Nuwa Descendant.

It's time to strengthen Linger; hopefully, it will work.

Just as Li Hao was pondering how to enhance Zhao Ling'er, a cheerful ringtone set to Daji's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Ah, Master, no! Daji is ticklish!"

Little Daji glanced at the number and said, "Oh, Master, it's Miss Piao Miao calling."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly.

What exactly do you want from this bizarre ringtone?

Little Daji was completely oblivious to Li Hao's dangerous gaze. Her big, watery eyes were full of anticipation as she asked, "Master, is the new ringtone I set nice?"

Li Hao was speechless.

He didn't deny that Xiao Daji's voice was very beautiful, especially that "ah," which was simply a captivating little enchantress. But wouldn't people consider such a ringtone inappropriate?

Don't you feel ashamed?

Li Hao glanced at the little Daji, whose fiery red, fluffy tail was wagging happily. After a brief moment of thought, he realized that it was indeed quite difficult to teach a cute pet to feel shame.

After a brief moment of consideration, Li Hao decided to abandon this option.

Li Hao answered the phone and smiled, "What's up?"

Piao Miao: "Hmm, there's a little trouble."

Li Hao frowned slightly.

A minor trouble?

Judging from Piao Miao's usual habits, this little trouble probably isn't too insignificant, right?

Li Hao pondered for a moment and asked, "What happened?"

Piao Miao: "Do you remember what happened in France last time?"

Li Hao asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Atlantis is up to something again?"

Piao Miao: "It's not Atlantis, it's France."

Li Hao was somewhat taken aback.

France daring to cause trouble? Are you kidding me?

Piao Miao said, "The France incident has become too big a fuss; no country in the world can keep it a secret."

The emergence of Atlantis, Atlantis attacks on the human world, and especially your battle with the King of Atlantis, shocked the world. To stabilize the domestic situation, the France had to fabricate a wonderful story."

A wonderful story!?

Li Hao's expression was somewhat strange.

Wait, could it be...?

Li Hao: "Just tell me directly, what is this 'little trouble'?"

Piao Miao: "The France want you to perform a miracle, something that seems grand and impressive. They don't mean anything by it; they just want to reassure the French. You know how much the Atlantis affair affected France."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Although I had guessed it to some extent, I was still speechless and amused when I actually heard the news from Piao Miao.

What's so special about that?

Should I go back to pretending to be a charlatan?

"Ding, the first stage of the Sainthood Quest has been triggered: Manifestation of Sainthood."

The forces of darkness are beginning to resurge, and ancient powerhouses are emerging. This is an unprecedented era, the beginning of a glorious new age. The group leader has chosen the Bitter Sea faction. Please strive to protect this sacred land and all living beings on it.

To manifest one's divine power before others in order to stabilize people's hearts.

"A score will be given based on the effectiveness of the group owner's miraculous intervention, and special rewards will be awarded accordingly."

Li Hao was completely stunned.

this!?

Are you kidding me? A mission at this hour?

And this task... cough cough, isn't it just showing off?

And your rating system, are you judging it by how much showing off it gets?

Li Hao was speechless.

You're forcing this group admin to show off.

Li Hao asked, "What specific time?"

Piao Miao: "It should be in about two weeks, but the exact time hasn't been decided yet."

Li Hao said, "Okay, let me know when you have a specific time."

Piao Miao: "Yes, I will convey your message. We should receive a notification from them soon."

Li Hao hung up the phone and shook his head slightly.

What can I say when I've taken on this task myself?

Chat Group.

Goddess Leona: "(^o^)/ Yay! Mission accomplished! Reward points in hand! So happy!"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "O(￣ヘ￣o#) Hmph, I hate this mission."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "→_→, do you hate this mission, or do you hate the people you encountered on this mission?"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "There's no difference."

Angel Yan: "This mission was great, easy and enjoyable."

Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji: "Hehe, I love doing tasks with the group leader the most, it's so easy and simple."

Ming Yanwei: "Group owner, how's the clone doing?"

Omniscient Li: "You need to work harder. The clone's cultivation has surpassed yours in every way. If you don't seize the time to cultivate, you may become an immortal later than the clone."

"Tsk tsk, I can't guarantee what will happen if you encounter a clone."

Ming Yanwei: ""

Tony Stark: "Wow, what an interesting thing to happen so early in the morning."

Given the nature of the Main God Space, if Ming Yanwei and her Main God Space were to meet there, they would likely be engaged in a team battle.

"I didn't realize it until I thought about it carefully; it's truly a sad story."

Angel Yan: "Although it's a team battle, it doesn't have to be a fight to the death. At most, a few people will die."

Li Xunhuan: "Don't worry, with the group owner's influence, the clone definitely won't kill you."

Xu Xian: "I feel the same way. After all, the clone is the group owner's new daughter. Even if she doesn't like you, she'll definitely consider the group owner's feelings."

Ming Yanwei trembled.

You guys are really something!

Is this how you comfort people?

The worst one is the group owner! Waaah, I'm not even as good as the clone anymore, the group owner is fickle.

She burst into tears; her life has been so hard.

Omniscient Li: "Alright, stop teasing Ming Yanwei. I've already told the clone that you can choose to cooperate if there's a team battle. Speaking of which, the Clone Ming Yanwei is still your sister, so you'd better take good care of her."

Ming Yanwei: "Who will kick this bench off for me?. jpg"

Chen Nan: "Kicking a bench. jpg"

Xu Xian: "Group owner, how's your time in Valoran?"

Omniscient Li: "It's alright. By the way, @Lu Xueqi, how's your training in Piltover going?"

Biyou: "Black guy with a question mark face. jpg, what did Lu Xueqi, the little pig, learn in Piltover?"

Lu Xueqi: "I've learned some Valoran alchemy and Hextech, it's very interesting."

Biyou: "!!!"

Biyou: "Ah, Lu Xueqi, you little piggy, you're so mean! We agreed to go sightseeing together, but you secretly studied behind my back! Don't you love me anymore?"

Lu Xueqi blinked her bright, clear eyes, somewhat taken aback.

Wait, are we that close?

Also, did I ever say I loved you?

Lu Xueqi: "Boring."

Biyou: "Waaah, Lu Xueqi, you've changed! You're no longer the emotionless girl we used to be. Are you going to become a mad scientist, a scientist girl?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Tsk tsk, speaking of which, I'm also quite curious about what Miss Lu Xueqi has learned."

Wanwan: "→_→, I'm more curious about what Lu Xueqi wants to do with all those things she learned?"

Goddess Leona: "I can see Lu Xueqi's world collapsing rapidly, at an unprecedented speed."

Lu Xueqi: "I just find the alchemy of the Valoran world very interesting. Many of their concepts are very similar to our weapon crafting techniques. My master once taught me that we can learn from others' experiences. Although alchemy and weapon crafting are very different, they can still offer us great inspiration."

Biyou: "Hmph, Lu Xueqi, the little piggy, rarely talks this much. She must have learned a lot of good things from Valoran."

Lu Xueqi: "Actually, there's not much. If you're interested, I can teach you."

Biyou: "Speechless. jpg, are you sure?"

Lu Xueqi: "Mmm."

Biyou fell silent.

There's something subtly off about it.

Could it be Lu Xueqi, little piggy? Oh well, never mind.

Biyou thought of the grudges between the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the grudges between the Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Gate, and sighed silently.

Some things are beyond her control; she can't change them just because she wants to.

The Demonic Gate has always revered strength. Biyou's status and position within the Demonic Gate stemmed from her father, not from her own abilities. Biyou deeply understood this principle, which is why, even though she wanted to change the relationship between the righteous and demonic paths, she never revealed it.

Because Biyou knew that without sufficient strength, any words were superfluous.

Just as everyone fell silent.

"Ding, new member joined the group."
