Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Boss, you're too awesome. Wherever you go, you have romantic encounters, and beauties automatically come knocking. When will I have such charm as you..."
Before Jin Bao could finish speaking, he noticed the Killing Intent from Ning Xue, Yun Qiuyu, and the other girls enveloping him. Frightened, Jin Bao immediately dared not speak further.
"Jin Bao, what was that just now?" Zhang Hao looked at Jin Bao and asked.
Jin Bao gave a bitter smile and recounted the entire story of his conflict with his cousin.
Zhang Hao then understood. He said to Jin Bao, "So that's how it is. Now you should know the importance of cultivation, right?"
Jin Bao said bitterly, "Boss, but I've already passed the best age to practice martial arts. Do you think cultivating now is still useful?"
Zhang Hao looked Jin Bao up and down, nodded, and said, "Your progress has been quite significant. You're already a Martial Master seventh level. A year ago, you weren't even a Martial Master."
Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao flatteringly and said, "This is all thanks to you, Boss."
Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said to Jin Bao, "Jin Bao, this is a world of Martial Warriors. Powerful cultivation is the foundation of everything. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, encountering a powerful Martial Warrior will just make you a wedding dress for others. Therefore, you should put all your focus on cultivation. I don't want to see you turn into a pile of dust hundreds of years from now, while I, your Boss, stand at the Peak."
Hearing this, Jin Bao's heart trembled. Zhang Hao's words were very clear. Indeed, the Lifespan of a Martial Warrior is long. If a Martial Warrior can live for one hundred years, a Martial Master can live for 200 years. A Great Martial Master can live for 400 years. A Martial King can live for 800 years. And a Martial Grandmaster can live for 1500 years. A Martial Emperor's Lifespan is even longer. As long as one's cultivation is stronger, and they break through to the next Realm when their Lifespan is about to end, they can have endless Lifespan. Even transcending Reincarnation is not a dream.
Jin Bao felt enlightened. He solemnly nodded at Zhang Hao and said, "Boss, Father has also been trying to persuade me. Originally, I couldn't listen, but everything today has made me realize that I was indeed putting the cart before the horse. Only powerful cultivation is everything. Boss, Jin Bao will listen to everything you say."
"Hahaha... It's good that you understand."
Zhang Hao patted Jin Bao's shoulder, feeling very satisfied.
"Boss, when you see Jianfeng, you will definitely be very satisfied, unlike me. That guy Zhang Jianfeng is a cultivation fanatic. A few days ago, he went to the Demonic Beast Forest again. His cultivation has long since broken through to Great Martial Master," Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao and smiled.
Zhang Hao didn't find this surprising. Zhang Jianfeng's talent is very strong, especially in the way of the sword. When the Zhang Family held their great competition, he had already comprehended Sword Intent. Perhaps when they meet this time, he will give him a big surprise. He smiled at Jin Bao and said, "Hehe, don't worry, I've sent someone to look for him. I estimate we'll be able to meet again soon."
"Really?" Jin Bao looked at Zhang Hao with great surprise.
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said, "Mm!"
"Let's go, the temple fair at the City God Temple today is very lively. Let's go wander around together, brothers," Zhang Hao said to Jin Bao.
"Alright!" Jin Bao readily agreed.
Zhang Hao then pointed at Jin Bao and introduced him to Yun Qiuyu, Song Sitian, and the other girls, saying, "He's my best brother."
"Mm... Hello."
The girls nodded at Jin Bao and smiled kindly.
Jin Bao sheepishly said to Zhang Hao, "Boss, which one is the sister-in-law? How should I address them?"
"Just address them however you want, where are you getting so much nonsense from?" Zhang Hao said, feeling annoyed.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Since Zhang Hao said so, Jin Bao bowed and said.
Ning Xue, Yun Qiuyu, Song Sitian, and Gao Xinyu all had flushed cheeks and felt very embarrassed. Unlike Gao Xinyu's disdain, Ning Xue, Yun Qiuyu, and Song Sitian felt a bit of joy.
The group walked on the streets of Ninghai City. Because today was the City God Temple's anniversary, it was exceptionally lively. The streets were packed with people, shoulder to shoulder.
Whether on Earth or the True Martial Continent, girls have one thing in common: they all love shopping. Although Ning Xue, Yun Qiuyu, and Gao Xinyu had visited countless large cities, they still found these streets with local characteristics very novel.
"Zhang Hao, let's go look over there!"
Ning Xue and the other girls found Zhang Hao walking too slowly. Feeling a bit impatient, they left him behind.
Zhang Hao and Jin Bao felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, shopping with women is truly deadly! Zhang Hao secretly vowed that he would never do this again. No wonder, when he was on Earth, most guys felt like dying when they heard about shopping with women.
Of course, Zhang Hao wasn't worried about the girls being in danger. After all, it was broad daylight, and the girls' cultivation was not weak. Gao Xinyu was even a Martial King, who could definitely walk sideways in this Watt Country.
However, Zhang Hao didn't know that a pair of evil eyes had fixed upon the girls.
Song Sitian was shopping freely on the street for the first time, so she was very happy and not much different from other girls. She also liked all sorts of cute little trinkets. Gradually, the four girls dispersed because they liked different things. Because there were too many people on the street, they didn't pay too much attention.
Unknowingly, Song Sitian completely separated from the other girls. They didn't see each other, and when she realized and wanted to find them, she couldn't find anyone. Song Sitian was starting to feel a bit anxious.
Suddenly, a figure blocked Song Sitian's path. Song Sitian looked up and saw a young man, about twenty years old, wearing a blood-red robe. His face was as pale as jade, but extremely so. His eyes were very eerie.
Song Sitian immediately became alert and wanted to avoid the other person. But the youth's speed was faster than hers. He blocked her path again.
"Song Sitian..."
...
An extremely hazy and strange voice entered Song Sitian's ears. Song Sitian felt that this voice had a kind of magic, making her feel very familiar.
"Song Sitian, look at me... look at me..." The voice was soft, seemingly without any force.
Strangely, Song Sitian involuntarily lifted her small head and stared at the other person. The other person's eyes seemed to glow. Song Sitian was involuntarily drawn in.
Suddenly, Song Sitian felt as if her Soul was being drawn away by the other person. Her eyelids felt soft and wanted to close. The next moment, she felt her vision go dark, and then she knew nothing.
The Blood Robe Youth smiled strangely. He quickly embraced Song Sitian's body and, taking advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention, held her delicate body and led her into a nearby alley. When no one was around, he quietly put her into a bag. Everything was done seamlessly, but it was witnessed by a girl the entire time. However, when the girl chased after him, wanting to stop the Blood Robe Youth, the Blood Robe Youth had already disappeared.
