"Heh, what's impossible about it? I'll be going back if there's nothing else." Zhou Hong chuckled, ignoring Huangfu Shanhe, and quickly turned to leave.
Huangfu Shanhe wanted to chase after Zhou Hong, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up. In less than a few minutes, Zhou Hong had completely disappeared from sight.
A day later, Zhou Hong returned to the capital.
The reason it took him a day was that he no longer had a helicopter. He had to hitch a ride in a private car and finally, after stopping and starting, arrived in the capital.
Zhou Hong held a bag of beast cores and felt it wasn't suitable to return to the Qiao family. He needed a place of his own now, where he wouldn't be disturbed.
After some hesitation, Zhou Hong decided to go to Liu Zhenfeixu's small apartment, especially since Liu Zhenfeixu already knew his background.
Zhou Hong immediately hailed a taxi and headed to Liu Zhenfeixu's residence.
"Zhou Hong, why are you here?" Liu Zhenfeixu asked happily, seeing Zhou Hong at her doorstep after opening the door.
"I want to cultivate in seclusion at your place for a few days," Zhou Hong stated directly.
"Ah." Liu Zhenfeixu wondered if she had heard correctly, that Zhou Hong wanted to cultivate in her home.
"Of course, you're welcome. There's actually a spare room available."
Zhou Hong nodded and walked into the apartment unceremoniously. Qin Mengxue stood up and smiled upon seeing Zhou Hong.
"Qin Mengxue, what are you two doing?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Sister Feixu is guiding me in my cultivation," Qin Mengxue quickly replied.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you. I'll head to my room," Zhou Hong said, turning and entering the empty room in Liu Zhenfeixu's home.
After locking the door, Zhou Hong immediately took out the beast cores, held them in both hands, and entered a state of cultivation, or rather, immortal cultivation. Sudan Novel Network.
Thus, time slowly passed.
Liu Zhenfeixu did not disturb Zhou Hong. She knew that if Zhou Hong chose to seclude himself in her home, he naturally wanted a quiet environment.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Zhou Hong had consumed seventy of the more than eighty beast cores he had obtained.
"Hoo!" Zhou Hong took a deep breath, a smile appearing on his face.
"It's great, I've finally entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment," Zhou Hong said with a smile.
The realms of immortal cultivators were divided into Foundation Establishment, Light Illumination, Opening Light, Integration, Heart Movement, Spiritual Silence, and so on.
In his previous life, Zhou Hong had already cultivated to the Integration realm.
Now, he had once again stepped into the realm of immortal cultivation, entering the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Zhou Hong glanced at the remaining ten beast cores and decided not to use them for now. After all, he had already entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the remaining ten cores wouldn't make much difference in reaching the middle stage. It would be better to use the remaining ten beast cores to refine elixirs for his friends and family.
These beast cores could not be used directly if one was not cultivating. They could only be converted into elixirs, which people on Earth could then consume directly and digest through their bodies.
Zhou Hong walked out of the room.
"Sister Feixu, could you go to my room and get my underwear for me?" Zhou Hong heard Qin Mengxue's voice from the bathroom after he came out.
It turned out Qin Mengxue was taking a shower but had forgotten her underwear. She thought the person at the door was Liu Zhenfeixu.
Zhou Hong looked around, and Liu Zhenfeixu was not at home; she had probably just gone out.
"Sister Feixu, please help me out, I left it in the room and didn't bring it."
Zhou Hong remained silent. Since she had mistaken him for Liu Zhenfeixu, he would go to her room and get it for her.
Zhou Hong went to the room where Qin Mengxue slept and indeed found a piece of underwear with lace on the bed.
Zhou Hong felt a bit awkward, but a slight flutter of excitement stirred within him.
Zhou Hong picked it up with two fingers and went to the bathroom door.
"Knock knock!" Zhou Hong knocked on the bathroom door.
Qin Mengxue quickly opened a small gap in the door, enough to reach out a hand.
Zhou Hong handed the underwear in.
"Ah!" At that moment, Qin Mengxue let out a scream because she saw that the hand reaching in was a man's.
"Don't scream, it's me. Liu Zhenfeixu doesn't seem to be here," Zhou Hong said speechlessly, knowing Qin Mengxue had recognized his hand.
"Oh, oh, thank you." Qin Mengxue, her face flushed red, took her underwear.
Just then, through the gap in the bathroom door, Zhou Hong saw the mirror on the cabinet inside. In the mirror, he clearly saw Qin Mengxue's naked body.
"Gulp!" Zhou Hong couldn't help but swallow.
Coincidentally, Qin Mengxue, who was about to close the door, also saw Zhou Hong outside the gap through the reflection in the mirror. Seeing Zhou Hong staring intently at a certain part of her body and his Adam's apple bobbing, her face turned completely red, and she quickly shut the bathroom door.
Zhou Hong chuckled and turned to sit on the living room sofa.
A while later, Qin Mengxue, dressed and her face still red, came to the living room.
Qin Mengxue felt unsure how to face Zhou Hong. He had definitely seen her entire body just now.
"Heh, sorry about that. I didn't mean to look. The gap you opened just happened to face the mirror inside," Zhou Hong said, smiling awkwardly at Qin Mengxue.
"Oh, oh." Qin Mengxue pouted her lips. Inwardly, she was quite happy. To be seen by Zhou Hong was also a kind of honor. She didn't know why she felt that way.
"Where did Sister Feixu go?" Qin Mengxue asked.
"I don't know. She probably went to buy groceries or something. I noticed she usually cooks herself."
Qin Mengxue nodded. Since she had come here, Liu Zhenfeixu had always done the cooking. She couldn't cook and felt a bit ashamed.
"It seems I need to learn to cook quickly, otherwise, I'll feel too embarrassed eating Sister Feixu's cooking all the time," Qin Mengxue said, lowering her head.
Just then, Zhou Hong's phone rang. He looked at it and saw it was from Changsun Qinghe.
"Hello," Zhou Hong answered immediately.
"Zhou Hong, where are you? Why was your phone off for the past two days?" Changsun Qinghe's voice sounded a little resentful. Ever since Zhou Hong and Huo Ling'er did what they did last time, she hadn't seen Zhou Hong. She had initially thought Zhou Hong would contact her soon, but after waiting for several days, he hadn't, and his phone had been off for the past two days.
"I was cultivating for the past two days and turned off my phone to avoid disturbances," Zhou Hong explained.
"Oh, I thought you had forgotten me," Changsun Qinghe hummed slightly, acting a bit spoiled.
"Heh, how could I forget you? Where are you now? I'll come to find you."
"I'm with my sister right now. Since my sister also became your fiancée, you haven't shown up. Shouldn't you be coming to meet my sister too?" Changsun Qinghe said.
"That's natural." Zhou Hong nodded, preparing to go and find the Changsun sisters.
