Chapter 930 - : Xintong Is Here
Chapter 930: Xintong Is Here
Tang Hao was in a great mood as he walked along the path toward Ritian Pavilion.
The shard that he obtained was a pleasant surprise. That made him a little closer toward his goal of collecting five dark gold shards.
“I still need three more pieces. That won’t be easy!”
He muttered and frowned.
He got his first shard by accidentally breaking the Courage record. The second time, he broke the Slaughter record by killing countless people. The third time, he got into the League of Eternal Heroes.
He could not think of any other records that he could break.
“Never mind. I’ll go to the Void Realm and ask around!”
Very quickly, Tang Hao threw the matter to the back of his mind.
“Good morning, Storekeeper Tang!”
The pedestrians on the path greeted him when they saw him.
Those people were preparing to hunt ferocious beasts in the mountains and exchange their haul for crystals. More than half of the people in Nanping City worked such jobs, and they were the ones who contributed the most to the city’s growth.
Each of them had one or two liquor gourds hung at their waists. Some were already drinking early in the morning.
“Take it easy!”
Tang Hao laughed.
“Don’t worry. I can hold my liquor well!”
Those people laughed and went away while waving.
Tang Hao arrived at the store and saw that the entrance was crowded. Most of the customers were there to buy liquor.
“I’ll say it again. This is the line for medicine, and that is the line for liquor!” Zhao Liu stuck his head out and shouted. He seemed terribly busy.
The attendants in the store were busy as well.
“Hey, Brother Tang! Look at this crowd. I’m almost at my wit’s end. We should hire a few more attendants!”
As soon as he saw Tang Hao, Zhao Liu began to complain.
“Sure! Let’s hire a few more attendants!” Tang Hao said.
“It’d be good if we can get some girls!” Zhao Liu chuckled pervertedly as he said that.
“Of course!” Tang Hao agreed to the suggestion.
He checked the accounts and kept the money, then said, “Right, Brother Liu, I’ll be going away for half a month in a few days. Do we have enough stock?”
“Stock? We should have enough talismans and pills, but the liquor… might not be enough!” Zhao Liu said.
He did not find it strange that Tang Hao was going away.
Tang Hao had mentioned that he had a master. He would go away once or twice every month to visit his master, and at the same time replenish the store’s stock of goods.
Looking at the store’s sales, Zhao Liu understood that Tang Hao could not be the only one manufacturing the goods.
“Just do whatever you can. I’ll try to be back soon!” Tang Hao said.
“Don’t worry, leave the store to me!” Zhao Liu thumped his chest and grinned.
Tang Hao went back to Ritian Valley and entered his magatama world to retrieve some divine liquor. After delivering the liquor to the store, he opened the passage and returned to the Kunlun underground palace.
It had been a month since the last time he went back to Earth.
It was already the middle of January. In another ten days, it would be the Lunar New Year. He had to return.
At the same time, he could avoid the commotion going on in that world. The major factions must have known that Tang Hao was located in the southern region, and they would go there to look for him. Once Tang Hao went back to Earth, those people would not be able to find him.
“Hey, kid, you’re back! What did you bring this time?”
Tian Xuanzi appeared.
Tang Hao did not say a word. He reached into his pocket dimension and started to throw things out one after another. Then, he took out the golden cauldrons.
“That’s all. It’s almost the Lunar New Year. Consider this as your present!” Tang Hao said as he dusted his hands.
“Not bad, kid! You have a bright future! Wow, these cauldrons are not bad. Did you rob them from someone?” Tian Xuanzi’s eyes opened wide in delight.
“Ah, right, kid, bring that Xintong girl over the next time you go there!”
Tang Hao was startled.
“She’s reached the peak and has mastered the Fleetfoot Stride. Most importantly, I crafted a set of amazing Artifacts for her.
“Don’t worry. She might not be able to defeat a Golden Core, but she can get away safely,” Tian Xuanzi said.
After being stunned for a long time, Tang Hao finally nodded.
He was used to being alone over there. Having someone tagging along made him somewhat uneasy.
After leaving the underground palace, he went to the Capital, then to Province Z.
He made it just in time for the final exams. Once the semester ended, he would not need to attend any classes in the next semester. When the time came, he could collect his certificate, and his university life would have come to an end.
Teacher Jiang was quite sad about that.
He also visited Zhao Qingxue and the others and gave them enough pills to reach the latter period.
After returning to Westridge, Tang Hao got busy.
It was time to prepare presents and visit relatives.
In the past, Tang Hao’s presents were all jade talismans and special medicines. This time, Tang Hao was very generous. He made all sorts of pills with various effects.
He also gave the kidney tonic recipe to Liu Yan so production could start after the Lunar New Year festivities.
That would fulfill Liu Dajun’s wish. Masculine Wind aphrodisiac, Vitality sports drink, and the kidney tonic would be the perfect combination.
“Hey, Lil Hao, you seem to be getting more and more muscular. Your speech is weird too. You sound so classical.”
The villagers in Dragonrock Village were surprised when they saw Tang Hao.
“Oh! Well, I’ve been acting in a period drama lately. I can’t help it sometimes!” Tang Hao said awkwardly.
On Lunar New Year’s Eve, he and Qin Xiangyi went to the rooftop of the skyscraper and counted down to the new year.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fireworks bloomed and lit up the night sky.
“Congratulations, Lil Tang!”
“What are you congratulating me for?”
“The new year! You’ve grown another year, and you’ll be twenty-two in a few months. You’ll be able to marry me!”
Qin Xiangyi wrinkled her nose and smiled charmingly.
“OK!” Tang Hao answered candidly.
“Are you really going to marry me?”
Qin Xiangyi was surprised.
“Don’t you want that?”
Qin Xiangyi pressed her lips and said, “I do! I’ve always dreamed of marrying you, but… the situation is so different now. You have so many things to do.”
As she said that, she gently leaned into Tang Hao’s arms.
“I’ll wait for you to finish all your things, then we’ll get married and live happily. After all, we still have a lot of time, and we’re not in a hurry. Don’t you think so?”
“OK!” Tang Hao nodded.
“When are you going to take me there, Lil Tang? I’ve heard you talk about it so often, but I want to see it with my own eyes.”
“You’ll have to wait a little longer. I’ll bring you over when I can protect you,” Tang Hao said.
“OK!” She answered.
Tang Hao visited his relatives during the Lunar New Year period. On the eighth day, Tang Hao said goodbye to Qin Xiangyi and returned to Kunlun.
He met Mu Xintong in Kunlun.
She was dressed in a set of pure white ancient clothes instead of modern attire. The cutting of the clothes accentuated her graceful figure.
She stood at the mountain gate. Her skirt fluttered in the wind and her ink-black hair danced. She was as beautiful as a painting.
