Wu Qi had been unable to suck up to Li Chen lately, and it was making him terribly irritable.
Ever since his goddess, Chu Ruoyan, had entered the palace as a consort, he had given up all hope.
As for his two sworn rivals, Xiao Ming was nowhere to be found, while Liu Hao, the son of a powerful noble, qualified for the Spring Hunt. He and his father had started preparing early, leaving him no time to go out.
Wu Qi's daily routine used to be just like Xiao Ming's: following Chu Ruoyan around as her lapdog.
Squandering his own potential.
Now he could neither approach his goddess nor suck up to his idol, and Wu Qi suddenly felt hollow inside.
As it happened, two younger cousins of his at the Origin Condensation Realm said a secret realm was about to open and asked him to carry them through it.
The Wu family was a major clan in Tiger-Crouching City, and it owned businesses in the Imperial Capital as well.
With nothing better to do, Wu Qi agreed.
He wore a mask because running this dungeon at the Void-Breaking Realm was genuinely embarrassing. He was too ashamed to show his face.
If someone discovered his identity, wouldn't Liu Hao and the others laugh him to death when he returned to the Imperial Capital?
Besides his two younger cousins, his aunt, Wu Nanzhi, was also with him.
Even with a mask on, Wu Nanzhi's full, alluring figure caused a stir among those nearby.
But most of the people here were cultivators ranging from the Meridian Opening Realm to the Origin Condensation Realm. There were barely any at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Wu Qi was at the Void-Breaking Realm, several tiers above them. How could they possibly stand up to him?
