Zhang Shaozhong said no more, and led Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier away from the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Damn it, I just wanted to be an ordinary, rich, powerful, and married stay-at-home guy. How did I suddenly become the "chosen one" and the "hope of the world"?

This script is wrong!

He shook his head, temporarily putting aside those chaotic thoughts.

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up! But now...

He put one arm around Ling Qingxue and the other around Ye Meier, a roguish smile returning to his face:

"Let's go home! Saving the world can wait!"

"Let's go back and test how comfortable that newly stolen waterbed is!"

As they exited the dilapidated Taoist temple, Mr. Zhou was still standing respectfully outside. When he saw the three of them come out, he was about to go up and say something when Zhang Shaozhong waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, go ahead and do your thing. We can just stroll back on our own."

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhang Shaozhong, who was holding two stunningly beautiful women in each arm. His posture was nothing like someone who had just heard a shocking secret about the survival of the world. He looked more like a spoiled young master returning from a spring outing with his girls.

His lips twitched, but he swallowed his words and bowed, saying, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, ladies, please take care."

Zhang Shaozhong didn't care what Mr. Zhou thought. He put his arms around his two wives and leisurely walked down the mountain.

After walking for a while and making sure no one was around, Zhang Shaozhong's roguish smile faded a bit. He clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, this old dragon, he doesn't say anything unless he's sure of something, and when he does, he throws out such a bombshell. So our Earth is a hidden 'safe zone'? And now that safe zone is almost over?"

Ling Qingxue's cold eyes also carried a hint of solemnity: "If what he said is true, then many things can be explained. Why is the spiritual energy in this world so barren? Why is the highest level only the Nascent Soul stage? And why do evil projections like the Blood Demon and Orochi appear that should not exist in this world?"

Ye Meier snorted and nonchalantly tossed her alluring purple hair: "Who cares! So what if the seal is broken! In my prime, what kind of demons and monsters haven't I seen? I'll tear one apart if one comes, and two if two come! It'll just add some fun to this boring world!"

As she spoke, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked her red lips, looking bloodthirsty and warlike.

Looking at the two women with such different styles, Zhang Shaozhong's slight frustration caused by the "truth of the world" instantly vanished.

He hugged her tighter and chuckled, "My Mei'er wife is still the most domineering!"

Looking at his carefree yet insightful demeanor, Ling Qingxue's eyes flashed with a subtle tenderness.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his personality that he was able to save them back then and gradually help the proud and arrogant Mei'er accept the current situation.

"What my husband says is very true."

Ling Qingxue said softly, "The most urgent task is to restore our cultivation as soon as possible. Although Mei'er and I still have our realm insights, the spiritual energy and environment of this world... it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to return to the realms of Nascent Soul and Heavenly Demon."

Ye Meier was unusually serious: "That's right. In this lousy place, even breathing in spiritual energy is like squeezing toothpaste. If I want to restore my magic power, I still have to rely on your weird chaotic energy to convert some random energy to replenish it."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Zhang Shao patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me! I'm good at fighting and stealing treasures. We'll split the energy we get 30/70! I get 30%, you get 70%!"

Ling Qingxue rolled her eyes at him: "Husband, what's yours is ours, why distinguish between us?"

"Hehe, just kidding."

Zhang Shaozhong chuckled, then said enthusiastically, "But to be honest, this trip to Huangshan was definitely worthwhile! We enhanced our national prestige and also got so much intelligence for free. Most importantly..."

His eyes lit up as he looked at the two women: "We didn't rob... oh no, we confiscated a super-sized smart waterbed, right? I heard it's some kind of cutting-edge technology, with constant temperature massage and a starry sky ceiling!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Meier gave him a charming glare, then lightly pinched the soft flesh of his waist with her slender fingers, her voice both sweet and seductive: "You silly boy! You just heard about a major event concerning the fate of the world, and all you can think about is that?"

That's what she said, but a hint of eager anticipation flickered in her captivating eyes, clearly showing her interest in this "trophy."

Ling Qingxue, standing beside her, maintained her aloof and ethereal demeanor, though a barely perceptible blush appeared at the base of her ears. She lightly spat out, "You're so unreliable."

She didn't break free from Zhang Shaozhong's arm, letting him hold her.

Ye Meier, however, had seductive eyes and traced circles on Zhang Shaochong's chest with her finger: "Oh? That sounds interesting~ Little Chongchong, how would you like to try it?"

Zhang Shaozhong, aroused by the enchanting woman, laughed heartily: "How do we test it? Of course, we go home, close the door, and let... oh no, I mean, the three of us together, to properly study this culmination of human technology! Saving the world? Let's talk about that when the world needs saving!"

As he spoke, he embraced the two stunningly beautiful women, his inner energy began to circulate slightly, and his speed suddenly increased as he raced towards the mansion at the foot of the mountain.

A mountain breeze carried Ling Qingxue's helpless sigh and Ye Meier's unrestrained laughter.

Zhang Shaozhong thought to himself with a smug smile: What seals, what evil gods, what Nascent Soul ancestors, none of them are as real as the warm, soft jade in my arms! Even if the sky were to fall?

Let me know if you agree first! Besides, with these two former powerful wives around, who knows who might break up whom!

Right now, there's only one important thing—go home and test the waters!

His gaze swept over Ling Qingxue's aloof and stunning beauty and Ye Meier's alluring and charming face, and he said with a wicked smile, "Just enjoy life while you can! If the seal really breaks one day, and we're surrounded by powerful enemies, it'll be hard to live a peaceful life. While we can still be carefree, we should get the 'things' we need to do done!"

As he spoke, he sprang up from the sofa with a somersault, rubbing his hands together and looking intently toward the bedroom on the second floor: "For example, let's go and inspect that top-of-the-line waterbed that is said to be able to simulate ocean waves and has a constant temperature heating system!"

"Pooh!"

Ling Qingxue spat lightly, her cheeks flushed, and turned her head away, but a slight helpless smile appeared on her lips.

Ye Meier giggled, stood up, swayed her slender waist and walked to Zhang Shaozhong's side, hooking her jade-like arm around his neck, her breath sweet as orchids: "You little rascal, you're so impatient~ But... I also want to try it out, is that waterbed really as... exciting as the legends say?"

"Let's go!" Zhang Shaozhong, full of vigor, rushed upstairs in the small courtyard with one woman on each side.
