Tang Hao was stunned when he walked out of the cabin door.
“Why is she here?” Tang Hao muttered and scratched his head, feeling a little awkward.
“Get in the car!”
Mu Xintong’s expression was indifferent as usual. She spat out the words coldly, turned around, and got in the car.
After Tang Hao got in, she started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
As the car sped along the wide and open road, the strong wind scattered her silky black hair.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of misty, deep, and beautiful eyes.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was awkward.
After a long time, Tang Hao looked at her and said, “Your injury… didn’t leave any side effects, right?”
“No!” She shook her head gently.
“Oh! That’s good!” Tang Hao said.
Then, he took out a bag and handed it to her, “This is for you!”
“What’s this?” Mu Xintong was surprised.
“Jade talismans!” Tang Hao said.
The bag of about thirty jade talismans were all that Tang Hao had left after the trip to Dongying.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled when she heard the term “jade talismans.”
When Tang Hao opened the bag, revealing the jade talismans, her eyes lit up. She was a little excited, quite a departure from her usual ice-cold demeanor.
Tang Hao was surprised when he saw that. ‘Don’t tell me that she’s a miser too?’ He thought.
However, she soon recovered her composure. She reached out to take the bag and thanked him.
After a pause, she said, “I don’t think I need them for now. There shouldn’t be any missions soon, and I can finally focus on my studies.”
“Studies?” Tang Hao was taken aback.
“That’s right. I’m a university student like you. I attend Q University in the Capital.”
‘What? Q University? Isn’t that one of the top universities in China?
‘So she’s actually an ace student? I couldn’t tell at all!’
However, after thinking about it carefully, Tang Hao understood. She was about the same age as him, so it was natural that she was also a student.
A cultivator’s brain was stronger than a mundane person’s brain. That alone could make her a top student.
A while later, she said, “When you come to the Capital, you can look for me at Q University!”
“OK!” Tang Hao replied.
Soon, the car drove into a military base.
In the base, Tang Hao was warmly welcomed by General Bai and a group of generals from the eastern military region.
“Comrade Tang Hao, you’ve done a great deed again. What should we do? Your military rank is already so high. You’ll be a general if we keep promoting you,” General Bai said in frustration.
The other generals laughed.
“I think you’ll need to be promoted though! After all, that’s such a great contribution. Let’s see, you’ve blown up more than a dozen bases! Those bastards won’t be able to recover for at least a few years.”
“Yes! Yes! Report it to the Higher-Ups!”
The atmosphere was extremely jovial.
After leaving the base, Tang Hao went to meet the two Taoist masters.
He gave Taoist Master Qing Xu many jars of divine liquor and gave the looted items to Taoist Master Qian Ji. The two items added up to two trucks.
The two Taoist Masters drove away happily.
After watching them leave, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter was finally over.
Three out of the four major Dongyingese forces had been eliminated. He was considered an ally with the remaining one, so there should not be any more trouble.
That action could also intimidate the other countries so that they would think twice before finding trouble with him.
With no troubles left, Tang Hao clapped his hands together happily.
He looked at his watch. It was only nine o’clock in the morning.
“Right. Let’s see how the movie shoot is progressing!” Tang Hao muttered.
He hailed a cab and rushed to the film studio.
“Don’t worry, Fellow Cultivator Tang. We’ll definitely be able to release the movie by the Lunar New Year.” Trendy Taoist Master pounded his chest and gave a solemn promise.
“OK, I’ll leave it to you!”
Tang Hao hung around for a while before he returned home.
“What are you doing now, Brother Hao?”
After taking a shower, he picked up his phone and saw a message from Yan’er.
“I’m at home!” Tang Hao replied.
“Westridge?”
“No, Provincial City!”
“Oh!” Yan’er replied with a single word. A while later, she sent a sad emoji.
“What’s wrong?”
Tang Hao changed into a clean set of clothes and sat down.
“My stomach hurts!” Yan’er appended the message with several puppy-eyes emojis.
“Did you eat something wrong? Or something else?”
“‘That’ came…”
Tang Hao was surprised for a while, and he smiled. It was the time of the month!
“Where are you now?”
“I’m in class!”
“Alright then. I’ll come and pick you up later. I’ll give you some medicine, and you’ll be fine in no time,” Tang Hao replied.
“OK!”
Putting down his phone, Tang Hao took out a few medicinal herbs, concocted a few bottles of medicine, and left his apartment.
When he arrived outside Yan’er’s classroom, the class was about to end.
After waiting for a few minutes, the bell rang. Then, the classroom door opened and a group of people rushed out. Most of them were girls. They were all stunned when they saw Tang Hao outside.
Then, they cried out in surprise.
“It’s Tang Hao!”
“Wow! It’s really him!”
The commotion spread into the classroom, and many girls rushed out of the door excitedly.
Tang Hao was a legendary figure in Z University.
The girls had heard about him during military training. However, Tang Hao had done many more spectacular things, such as being picked up by a military helicopter and starting a film company.
“Sigh, what’s the point? He’s here for Beauty Queen Shi!” Someone said mockingly.
“If only I have such a handsome and rich childhood sweetheart! I’m so envious!”
“Yeah! I’m so envious!”
The girls sighed. Their faces were filled with envy and resentment.
Yan’er came out of the classroom after a while.
She walked to Tang Hao shyly as the other girls watched.
She looked even more beautiful and pure in a long white dress.
“Let’s go, Brother Hao!”
She lowered her head, walked over quickly, grabbed Tang Hao’s hand, and walked away as fast as she could.
“Wait, isn’t that the beauty queen? Who’s the man next to her? Dammit, how dare he hold the beauty queen’s hand? Does he have a death wish?”
The boys who saw them were furious.
“That’s Tang Hao, you idiot!” Someone said vaguely.
They all fell silent.
“Dammit, that animal!”
“He’s inhuman!”
Many people cursed under their breaths, and their faces were filled with righteous indignation.
They went downstairs and to the back of the building before Yan’er stopped walking. She furrowed her brows in pain.
Then, she touched her stomach. The color on her face became a little pale.
Tang Hao pulled her to the side and sat down. He took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to her, saying, “Drink this! It’s very effective. You won’t feel any pain after drinking it.”
“Really?” Yan’er said.
As she spoke, she took the bottle, opened the lid, and drank it.
