Wang Hao sat leisurely in his chair. In a few days, he would be reporting to his workplace, a digital encoding and decoding laboratory under Huaxia University, which, to put it bluntly, meant becoming a programmer.
Just then, his phone rang. He grabbed it and saw that it was his best friend from school, Yang Dianfeng, calling.
"Haozi, you haven't contacted me lately. I heard you beat up Zhao Wenbo and Li Zhiheng, so I came to ask if you need any help. Those two are ruthless."
As his name suggests, Yang Dianfeng occasionally suffers from epilepsy. He shouts incoherently, making Wang Hao's ears hurt.
However, he was indeed somewhat worried. Li Zhiheng was alright, but he was mainly afraid of Zhao Wenbo's retaliation, which would be detrimental to Wang Hao. After all, Zhao Wenbo was a direct descendant of the Tianxing Conglomerate.
Wang Hao really wanted to tell him that Xiao Zhao had been beaten badly, with a broken nose and a broken arm, and was probably too preoccupied with hating a mixed-race person to think about anything else.
But he didn't dare say it, fearing that if Yang Dianfeng, that loudmouth, heard it, the whole world would know the next day.
Wang Hao turned down the volume and held the phone further away, then laughed and said, "Weren't you going to Tianxing? I sent you a message before but you didn't reply. I thought you had forgotten about me."
Yang Dianfeng sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. I got dumped, and I lost miserably. I'm about to head to Tianxing, but she has to stay on Earth. But I won't give up. I'll definitely try to keep her here!"
Wang Hao wasn't surprised. After all, there weren't many people like Shi Mengqi who were willing to give up their future for themselves. He smiled and said, "Then how do you still have the appetite to eat?"
"I'm leaving soon. I couldn't find you before. I'll treat you to dinner tonight at the top floor of the Emperor Building. I'll just have a big meal to cheer myself up. See you tonight!" Yang Dianfeng shouted boldly.
Wang Hao hung up the phone, smiled, and shook his head. Then he took out the golden jade stone and began to absorb spiritual energy. According to his calculations, the spiritual energy here should be enough to support him until he broke through to the Spiritual Awareness Realm and became a Qi Refining cultivator.
......
"Phew, I didn't expect the breakthrough to be so much faster than I anticipated. Now I'm a mid-stage Yellow Realm martial artist. Wang Hao will definitely be astonished when he sees this." Shi Mengqi stretched comfortably.
Her stunning curves were on full display. Due to her advanced martial arts cultivation, her skin had become even more delicate and fair, and she had also expelled a lot of impurities from her body.
A white tracksuit clung tightly to her delicate body, and the room was filled with the girl's natural fragrance.
A moment later, she took a nice bath, changed into a light blue dress, and was about to go out when her parents stopped her.
Shi Mengqi looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so preoccupied?"
Her father hesitated for a moment, sighed heavily, turned and left, saying to his wife, "I can't say these words to her. You have to explain your decision to Qiqi yourself."
After saying that, he went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and smoked it with a melancholy air.
Shi Mengqi's mother looked at her husband, then at Shi Mengqi, and finally gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, saying, "A while ago, a large family from Tianxing called."
"He said he wanted to arrange a blind date for you, and it was with the eldest son of a prominent family, so I agreed on your behalf. Qiqi, you must seize this opportunity to enter high society!"
Her mother's words struck Shi Mengqi like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and momentarily confused.
"Qiqi, although arranged marriages are no longer allowed, I've only agreed to a date for you. And someone will come to pick you up and take you to Tianxing."
"Mom knows you have feelings for Wang Hao, but you two aren't suitable. I know your talent for martial arts; if you could go to Tianxing, you would definitely be a celestial being, while he's just a bookworm with no future..."
The mother kept talking, while the father stood on the balcony without saying a word, just smoking one cigarette after another.
"Enough!"
Shi Mengqi suddenly shouted, startling her mother, and her father also turned around and looked into the room.
"I'll make my own decisions, you don't need to interfere. Besides, Wang Hao isn't a bookworm!" Shi Mengqi's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
From a young age, almost everything about her was arranged by her family. At the age of six, she began to systematically cultivate martial arts, and at that time, a powerful expert from Tianxing would come to guide her once a week.
But the strangest thing is that ever since she was twelve years old, whenever she falls asleep, a figure will appear in her dreams to guide her cultivation, and this figure is much stronger than the one from Tianxing.
Although her father told her that the Nine Ancestors Heavenly King Scripture was passed down from her ancestors, Shi Mengqi knew that this cultivation method was created by the mysterious person in her dream.
Having lived for twenty-two years, Shi Mengqi had almost never argued with her family, but at this moment, she was truly angry, and for the first time, she felt somewhat disappointed in her mother.
She even began to suspect that her fate had been arranged by her family since childhood, and that the reason she had a powerful celestial expert to guide her was because he valued her talent and wanted to arrange a marriage.
"You've really grown up, daring to yell at me now, huh? Fine, then I'll put this out there today: you're going to this blind date whether you like it or not! This is our family's chance to climb into high society!"
The teacher's wife was a little angry and shouted loudly.
Shi Mengqi's anger was ignited and finally erupted. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Am I just a tool in your eyes? You've been nagging me since I was little that my dad can't earn money."
"All these years, do you really think I don't know? How many times have you two started arguing and fighting in the middle of the night over a little money? Do you know how much it hurts me?!"
"Originally, I thought that once I achieved some success in martial arts, I would find a suitable job on Earth, earn some money, and buy a bigger house for my family. But what you're doing is trying to marry me off to Tianxing just to enter high society!"
Seeing Shi Mengqi's somewhat hysterical state, the teacher's wife's momentum weakened, but she still said forcefully, "I've given birth to you and raised you for so many years, would I harm you? I'm doing this all for your own good!"
"What future do you have with that bookworm? He's a good-for-nothing who can't even learn martial arts. Even if our family has a good relationship with his family, I will never let you marry a good-for-nothing!"
At this moment, Shi Mengqi's father came over and quickly said, "Xiaohui, what you said is a bit too much, Qiqi. Don't be angry, your mother didn't mean it..."
"I'll say it again, Wang Hao, he, no, is, a, piece of trash." Shi Mengqi's eyes gradually turned cold, and she spoke in a low voice, enunciating each word clearly.
With her cultivation at the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm, Shi Mengqi exuded an extremely oppressive aura.
"What, you want to hit us? Shi Mengqi, let me tell you, I've agreed to this marriage. Either you obediently break off your relationship with that good-for-nothing Wang Hao, or you get out of this house!"
Despite her husband's objections, the teacher's wife refused to back down. She couldn't believe that her usually obedient daughter would fall out with her for a good-for-nothing.
"Fine, that's what you said. I'll earn my own money and pay you back everything I owe you. Then we'll be even, and you won't have me as your daughter anymore!"
Shi Mengqi wiped away her tears, enduring the excruciating pain, and spoke with utmost seriousness before rushing out the door. The fact that her mother had treated her like a tool truly shattered her heart into pieces.
