Seeing Wang Hao's reaction made Shi Mengqi even more shy, but also secretly pleased. After all, it was a happy thing to see the person she liked react like that.
"Ahem, it's too late today. Tomorrow, after we finish our lunch break, I'll take you to buy some clothes. There's no hair dryer there, so why don't you use your inner energy to dry them?"
While silently reciting the calming mantra, Wang Hao looked away and answered the questions at the same time. If it weren't for his exceptional temperament, he probably would have pounced on them by now.
"Huh? How can you dry your hair with true qi? I don't know how..." Shi Mengqi was very puzzled. How could true qi dry hair?
Wang Hao exhaled a breath of hot air, suppressing the anger in his heart, and smiled, "These are some minor tricks used by cultivators. Circulate your true energy to your hands."
Shi Mengqi tried to imitate his movements, but she couldn't quite get the hang of it. Helpless, Wang Hao had no choice but to take her little hand and guide her with his spiritual energy.
Instantly, Shi Mengqi felt a warm current flow into her palm, making her feel incredibly comfortable. Her pretty face flushed red, and she had no mind left to learn how to circulate true qi.
Wang Hao was also somewhat distracted, but he didn't do anything out of line. He patiently guided her, which was also a form of cultivation that could enhance both parties' control over their own will.
After spending half an hour, Shi Mengqi finally learned how to do it. The two chatted for a while before returning to their own rooms, each with their own thoughts.
......
The next afternoon, Wang Hao took out his savings and accompanied Shi Mengqi shopping. This could be considered their first formal date, since Wang Hao used to be timid and cowardly.
Shi Mengqi temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness and didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Hao at all. She bought a lot of things, including plenty of vegetables and fruits, and planned to cook dinner for him that evening as a reward.
"I didn't expect you could cook. I wonder how it tastes." Wang Hao said with a smile as he helped out in the kitchen.
Wearing an apron, Shi Mengqi said proudly while stir-frying vegetables, "There's a lot you don't know. I can not only cook, but also make soup. I'm a typical virtuous wife and loving mother."
"Really? Then I'm in for a treat." Wang Hao chuckled.
Shi Mengqi rolled her eyes at him, her face flushed, whether from the heat of the cooking or from being embarrassed by his words, it was hard to tell.
After dinner, Shi Mengqi stayed in the room to tidy up, while Wang Hao went for a walk in the woods of the neighborhood because the food was so delicious that he was too full.
Meanwhile, the tranquil atmosphere downstairs and the peaceful evening breeze allowed him to clear his mind; after all, even cultivation requires a balance of work and rest.
Suddenly, Wang Hao felt a tightness and swelling in his forehead, as if it were about to be pierced by a sharp weapon. He was terrified and his heart was filled with fear. He subconsciously shifted his body to the side, relying on his powerful instincts to dodge to that side.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, he felt a burning sensation in his temples. A terrifying gust of air grazed past his ear, breaking off some strands of hair and emitting a burnt smell. The vibration of the air made his eardrums throb.
"Whoosh."
Wang Hao dared not be careless. He used a mysterious footwork technique, which increased his speed dramatically. Like a cheetah, he disappeared into the dense woods of the residential area.
This is an old residential area. The trees planted there have grown into towering giants over the decades, so lush that they instantly obscured Wang Hao's figure.
Wang Hao's eyes were now as sharp as two swords, coldly staring in a certain direction in the woods, while his heart pounded violently.
If he's not mistaken, just now, someone must have been hunting him down with a sniper rifle.
Death was just an inch away from him. If his cultivation hadn't broken through, his head would have been pierced, and he would have been doomed.
At that moment, he felt the terrifying shockwaves from the bullets flying past, and a strong gust of wind grazed his temples, burning them with intense heat.
Who on earth would dare to use firearms in a residential area? It's utterly reckless and beyond the imagination of normal people!
The world has always had strict gun control, and even air guns are prohibited. Ordinary citizens never worry about being shot for no reason, and the public security is quite good.
But now, Wang Hao was almost assassinated. This kind of scene from a movie actually happened to him. Moreover, the attackers had no scruples and went into the residential area to make their move.
The other party must have installed a silencer, as it didn't alert anyone. Even passersby jogging in the distance didn't notice anything unusual.
Wang Hao was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he quickly came up with a plan. He then swiftly took off his coat, flicked his wrist, and threw it deep into the woods.
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, he heard three faint sounds, and three bullet holes appeared on the falling shirt. The sniper was incredibly skilled, reacted extremely quickly, and had frighteningly accurate marksmanship.
Wang Hao's face was cold. At least three skilled gunmen were waiting outside the community fence for an opportunity to shoot him.
He had even determined the opponent's location by the direction the bullets came from.
However, Wang Hao did not act rashly. Instead, he quickly took out his phone and dialed an encrypted number. This was the emergency number that Chi Tu had left him, and unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
The call was quickly connected, and Wang Hao briefly explained the situation.
"Find cover first and don't make any rash moves. Professionals will handle this in a bit. I'll come over and bring you some equipment."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Tu's face was icy cold. Even he felt that those people were reckless. This was the capital of the world, and such a vicious shooting incident had actually occurred.
In the wild or in some secret realms, major factions may fight for treasure, but they will never engage in firefights in urban areas so as not to affect ordinary people.
Otherwise, the whole society would be in chaos!
This is a tacit understanding, and even more so, a customary rule that all organizations and institutions abide by, and few dare to cause trouble.
Otherwise, the state will educate those organizations and institutions on how to behave. Although the world has declined, certain bottom lines have always remained, and this will not change.
Wang Hao climbed a big tree and quietly pondered who wanted to kill him. The first person he thought of was Li Zhiheng, and the second was Zhao Wenbo, but the former probably didn't have that much power.
As for the latter, he shouldn't hold such a grudge against him based on just one defeat. At this point, Zhao Wenbo should be even more vengeful towards the blond, blue-eyed mixed-race man.
"Could it be the Li family of Tianxing? Or perhaps the Wu family?" Wang Hao quickly analyzed in his mind, but felt that the possibility was unlikely, since the conflict had not yet broken out.
Wang Hao shook his head, ceasing his thoughts, and took mysterious steps, disappearing from the branches and leaves like a divine ape, changing direction and passing through the forest to the other side.
At this moment, Wang Hao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was preparing to hunt under the cover of night. He wanted to see who dared to assassinate him in a residential area.
