With his two wives in his arms, Zhang Shaozhong sped away from that troublesome place in Japan.
Looking back, you can still vaguely see the tower with the inscription, standing like a pillar of shame in the gradually brightening sky.
"Hehe, that's going to be a real problem for those little devils."
Zhang Shaozhong grinned smugly, feeling even better than when he broke through to the Chaos Golden Core stage.
Ye Meier nestled in his arms, excitedly counting on her fingers: "Husband, we've struck it rich this time! All those pills, ingredients, and lots of sparkling gems! When we get back, I'm going to get the biggest dressing table ever!"
Although Ling Qingxue didn't speak, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her cool lips.
She values ancient books and spiritual materials containing pure energy more, as they are of great benefit to improving cultivation and alchemy.
"Go home! Go home! Hurry up!"
Zhang Shao urged him on, eager to return home.
He couldn't wait to see what he had gained this time, and also... to put into practice the feasibility of "double the happiness".
At their current speed, the three of them could cross the sea in no time.
Before long, the familiar suburban courtyard shrouded in formation came into view.
"I'm finally back!"
Zhang Shaozhong let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed. His own doghouse was so comfortable!
Pushing open the courtyard gate, the familiar aura of the spirit-gathering array rushed towards me.
Although the time away was short, having experienced a series of battles and tribulations in Japan, returning to this peaceful courtyard now feels like stepping into another world.
"First, divide the spoils! No, first, count the loot!"
Zhang Shaozhong couldn't wait to dump everything out of his storage ring, instantly piling it up like a small mountain in the living room!
Good heavens!
Bottles and jars of elixirs, mineral materials of various colors, magical artifacts shimmering with spiritual light, bundles of scrolls and secret manuals, and even a miniature statue of Thor... The dazzling array of treasures illuminated the entire living room with a kaleidoscope of colors!
Wow!
Ye Meier cheered and pounced on the pile of glittering gems and magical artifacts, her eyes sparkling. "This ruby hairpin is beautiful! This black jade bracelet is beautiful too! They're all mine!"
Ling Qingxue walked to the pile of ancient books and scrolls, picked up a few and flipped through them, nodding slightly: "Although the Yin-Yang techniques and ninjutsu of the East are mostly unorthodox, they also have their merits and can be applied to other areas."
She examined the spiritual materials again and selected several of superior quality ones. "These can be used to refine the 'Nascent Soul Pill' to help me break through to the Nascent Soul realm."
Looking at the "harvest" scattered all over the ground, Zhang Shaozhong was overjoyed.
He picked up an ornately decorated samurai sword he'd pilfered from a museum, waved it casually, and scoffed, "All show and no substance, good to look at but useless."
Then he picked up a few bottles of Japanese elixirs, sniffed them, and said, "The medicinal properties are mixed, and the side effects must be significant. They can't compare to the ones my wife makes."
Although he was disgusted, he still sorted and put everything away neatly.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat; it might come in handy someday, or... you could trade it for some good stuff from the authorities?
"Oh, right, and this too."
Zhang Shaozhong remembered the Thor statue, took it out, restored it to its original size, and placed it in the corner of the yard with a thud. "This thing seems to be able to gather some faith power, although it's weak, but if I put it in the spirit gathering array, it might give me a boost?"
Ling Qingxue glanced at it and said, "It can be placed next to the array eye, and the immortal power can be used to cleanse the impure thoughts within it, or it can be transformed into pure mental power to nourish the array."
"Alright, I'll do as my wife says!"
The three of them worked for quite a while before they finally finished sorting out the mountain of spoils.
The sheer number of items is dazzling.
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Holding a pile of jewelry, Ye Meier grinned from ear to ear, "Let's see who dares to call me a poor witch now!"
Looking at her greedy expression, Zhang Shaozhong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at you, so pathetic! Follow your husband, and you'll have plenty of good things in the future!"
He walked to Ling Qingxue's side, looking at her profile as she carefully sorted through the ancient books. A thought struck him, and he pulled out a piece of white jade from a pile of materials. It was as smooth as mutton fat and exuded a faint chill: "Wife, this 'Ice Heart Jade' is of excellent quality and is just right for you. Take it to refine a protective magic weapon or to embellish your flying sword?"
Ling Qingxue raised her head, looked at the beautiful jade that Zhang Shaozhong handed her, and saw the undisguised concern in his eyes. Her cold gaze softened slightly, and she gently accepted it: "Thank you, husband."
"Why are you being so polite with me!"
Zhang Shaozhong chuckled, then turned to Ye Meier, who was still fiddling with the jewelry, and called out, "Wife! Don't just focus on those shiny things. Here are a few bottles of 'Fiend Essence Pills' made from Yin Soul Wood and Blood Fiend Stone. Although the method is a bit unorthodox, they should be of some use to your cultivation of demonic arts!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Meier immediately dropped her jewelry and came over. She picked up the pill bottle, smelled it, and her face lit up with surprise: "Wow! This is good stuff! Although it's a bit rough around the edges, the ingredients are top-notch! Thank you, husband!"
As she spoke, she kissed Zhang Shaozhong on the cheek.
Zhang Shaozhong touched the spot where he had been kissed and grinned foolishly.
The process of dividing the spoils... no, distributing the spoils of war was quite enjoyable.
By the time everything was ready, it was already broad daylight outside.
After a night of turmoil, including tribulation, murder, and robbery, although his cultivation had greatly improved, he was still somewhat mentally exhausted.
"worn out……"
Zhang Shaozhong yawned, looking at his two wives beside him, who also looked tired but couldn't hide their excitement, and his heart was filled with a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Having a home, people to care about, great power, and the ability to settle scores freely... I never dared to dream of such a life before!
"Let's go to sleep!"
He put his arms around Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's waists, one in each hand, and led them into the bedroom.
"Pah! You filthy scoundrel! Trying to cause trouble in broad daylight!"
Ye Meier playfully punched him, but her body betrayed her by leaning against him.
Ling Qingxue's cheeks flushed slightly. She struggled gently, but not really with all her might. She simply whispered, "Husband, I still need to consolidate my cultivation..."
"Consolidating my cultivation won't interfere with my sleep!"
Zhang Shaozhong said matter-of-factly, "Besides, dual cultivation is also a way to consolidate one's cultivation! Right, ladies?"
Seeing his sly and shameless expression, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier couldn't help but laugh.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, illuminating the king-size bed and the relaxed, warm smiles on the faces of the three people.
Zhang Shaozhong spent his days and nights "resting" in the courtyard, mainly to practice "double the pleasure," but was eventually suppressed by the two women. After several days, his excitement finally subsided.
The outside world may still be turbulent, and the troubles in Japan may not be completely over, but at least at this moment, in this small courtyard, they are at peace and happy.
