In fact, Tang Rao was well aware that he was reluctant to discard his cultivation because Spiritual Marrow was too rare, almost something you could meet but not seek.

Discarding his cultivation would ruin both his innate spiritual wisdom and innate spirit body, and he would certainly not attempt to condense Spiritual Energy in its overflowing state again, meaning he would become an ordinary cultivator.

Even though he would have a great advantage in terms of Spirit Root, it actually wouldn't make much difference.

The most he could achieve, as before in the Seventy-two Domains of the nine realms, was to be at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing.

Even Great Perfection would be unattainable.

Although he wasn't particularly anxious or obsessed with the path of immortality, he did not like the idea of a life with limits.

Having a set goal of the Tribulation Crossing peak, and being told that it is the limit, felt unpleasant.

...

In the following days, Tang Rao still didn't have much going on; he would either walk around or pester Yun Xi.

His relationship with Yun Xi hadn't progressed at all to this day.

Yun Xi continued to ignore him, and now wouldn't even come out to play.

Apart from going to work in the Plantation, he barely interacted with her, which made Tang Rao very unhappy.

I, Tang Laohei, have finally taken a liking to a girl, and what do you know, I can't even win her over, how depressing.

"Brother-in-law, why aren't you eating? The food is really good," Yun Hai said while stuffing food in his mouth at a small diner.

"Your sister ignores me, Yun Hai, look at me and tell me, do I have a chance with your sister?" Tang Rao asked, getting in close.

Yun Hai looked up at Tang Rao, a serious expression on his face.

"So, do you see anything?" After a few seconds, Tang Rao asked impatiently.

"I see it."

"How is it?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't look good, pay attention to eating and resting."

"Get lost! Be serious!" Tang Rao wanted to kick Yun Hai, this kid had been hanging out with Zhou Boxiong for a few days and had also become absurd.

"Seriously, I don't know, can't tell. These kinds of things involve too many people or things, it's hard to say, hard to say," Yun Hai said, shaking his head like a fortune teller.

"Brother-in-law, I really wasted my affection on you."

"Don't say that, brother-in-law, I think, you have to look at it this way. My sister, she actually might not dislike you, she just has a psychological shadow about tall, rich and handsome men, thinking about it this way, don't you feel proud?" Yun Hai said.

Smack!

Tang Rao went straight for a noggin thump.

Although Yun Hai anticipated it, Tang Rao was too fast, and he couldn't dodge in time.

"You keep spouting nonsense, think properly about how to charm your sister for me!"

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be tall, rich, and handsome. Just tell my sister that your family has gone bankrupt, that you have no money, that you were severely hit by rivals in Sui City, and are now utterly destitute. Then, my sister will probably start liking you," Yun Hai said.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Why are you silencing me, brother-in-law? Is my idea not good? I think it's quite nice."

"Idiot, in the entire Sui City, does Huang Dynasty Industries even have a rival? Utterly destitute... give you hundreds of billions, then show me how you could possibly end up utterly destitute," Tang Rao said.

Yun Hai had an astounded look, hundreds of billions... Huang Dynasty Industries...

Although Yun Hai knew Tang Rao was a rich second generation, he had no idea that Tang Rao's family owned Huang Dynasty Industries.

Who in the entire Sui City didn't know about Huang Dynasty Industries? It was a colossal and dominant enterprise. Not to mention, there really was no competitor in Sui City that could take on Huang Dynasty Industries.

"Ah, it seems there's only one way," Yun Hai sighed.

"What?"

"You could just cut ties with Huang Dynasty Industries, and then, you'd be a poor bastard!"

"Yun Hai, from now on, you're forbidden to hang out with Zhou Boxiong!" Tang Rao roared angrily.

Look at Yun Hai, such a good kid, an honest young man, and after hanging out with Zhou Boxiong for just a few days, he's turned into this bloody mess.

...

In the end, Tang Rao couldn't think of any good solutions, and as for Yun Hai, the boy learned nothing but Zhou Boxiong's nonsensical chatter and couldn't provide any viable ideas.

All he knows is stuff like heroic rescues and playing hard to get, those are just clichéd, all right!

"Brother-in-law, do you want me to call my sister down?" Yun Hai asked Tang Rao at the bottom of the girls' dormitory building.

"Get lost! Oh, and here's the key and address to the house I rented for you near the school. I paid two years' rent, so you can bring your mother over. It's not good for her to be alone." Tang Rao took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Yun Hai.

Yun Hai was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly agape, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

But in his clear eyes, there was obviously a new sense of determination and gratitude.

"Alright, scoot over, I'm going to hit on your sister. If you stand close by, I can't unleash my full charm," Tang Rao waved him off.

"Go for it, brother-in-law, goodbye!" Yun Hai didn't say much, just waved his hand and ran off quickly.

Tang Rao stood outside the dormitory building for ten minutes, looking very profound, which made the passing girls scream one after another.

However, Tang Rao was internally conflicted because after ten minutes, he still hadn't figured out how to invite Yun Xi out.

He had tried every trick in the book these past few days, and the success rate was abysmally low.

Except for one successful invitation to buy clothes, that was the only time he managed to call her out during this period.

"I never thought I, Tang Laohei, would run out of tricks," Tang Rao flipped his eyelids, feeling despondent inside.

"Tang Rao?" Just as Tang Rao was about to use his phone to make a call, a voice came through.

"Li Li? Yun Xi isn't around?" Seeing Luo Lili, Tang Rao greeted her.

"She's in the dorm. Do you want me to call her out for you?" Luo Lili said with a smile.

Truth be told, she just couldn't understand Yun Xi. Such a handsome, wealthy, and impressive boy chasing after her, if it were her, she would've said yes long ago.

"Forget it, if you go to call her, she probably won't come down," Tang Rao shook his head. Yun Xi simply wasn't paying any attention to him now.

"So, you're just going to keep getting door slammed in your face every day?"

"I don't want to, I just don't have any good solutions. Sigh, I never thought a universally beloved, wealthy and handsome young man like me could see a day like this," Tang Rao muttered to himself.

Luo Lili covered her mouth, finding it amusing.

This guy Tang Rao is really different from the other rich second-generation kids; I don't know why Yun Xi wouldn't give it a shot.

Among the rich second generations, there are quite a few who like to chase after women for fun, but they're not all like that.

Look at Tang Rao; he's not so bad.

Every day he comes up with various funny and interesting ways to invite Yun Xi out. He doesn't get angry when he's not successful. He's a good guy.

"Tang Rao, don't be too sad. Xiao Xi just doesn't understand you. Women are always scared of this and that," Luo Lili said.

Not understanding...

Tang Rao suddenly paused, right, I must let her know, I am a different kind of young man.

Thinking this, Tang Rao dialed Yun Xi's number directly.

One call, two calls, three calls, four calls, until the fifth call, the phone was finally answered.

"Tang Rao, what the hell do you want! Are you crazy? How many times do I have to tell you not to bother me?" Yun Xi yelled.
