Ming Zhitian continued, "Actually, I know a little about mekanism. Buck!"
The little lion, Buck, trotted over. Ming Zhitian petted its head. "This is my masterpiece. What do you think?"
Tian Nanjie said, "Is it alive?"
Ming Zhitian shook his head, "No, just a mekanism beast."
Tian Nanjie's expression was priceless. "It's so lifelike. You're amazing."
Ming Zhitian said, "When do we leave?"
Tian Nanjie said, "There's no time to delay. The Four Sects Trial Competition is set for three days from now. Come to the Five Peaks Sect, and I'll personally escort you. I'm counting on you."
Ming Zhitian nodded. "Alright, see you in three days."
Tian Nanjie nodded. "See you in three days."
After Tian Nanjie left, Ming Zhitian watched TV for a while longer. Around noon, the seven women returned, happy and cheerful.
Their storage bags were full, and each of them was wearing an expensive new outfit. "We're back!"
Ming Zhitian looked up at them and smiled faintly. "Done shopping so quickly? Don't you want to browse for a bit longer?"
Yan Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, "We've pretty much toured the entire Huayang City, all seven of us."
Yan Lixue said, "We've spent all the money. Why else would we come back?"
Ming Zhitian quickly stood up. "You spendthrift woman! You spent ten million of my money in one day?"
Yan Lixue crossed her arms. "A woman who knows how to spend is a good homemaker. A woman who doesn't is a hag. Do you want to live with seven hags?"
Ming Zhitian was taken aback. "No..."
Yan Lixue twirled around. "Then it's settled. Do I look good?"
Ming Zhitian stammered, "You... you look good... but my heart aches so much."
"Here, this is a new outfit for you." Yan Lixue tossed him a black suit and then went inside to cook.
"We'll help too, and make something delicious."
"..............."
Seafood extravaganza. The women entered the kitchen and then emerged into the hall. Eighty jin of king crab, fifty jin of Australian lobster, and ten abalones were prepared by them in eighteen different flavors.
After a satisfying meal, Ming Zhitian tentatively looked at Yan Lixue. "Xue'er wife, I need to tell you something."
The seven women put down their chopsticks, sensing a bad premonition. Yan Lixue asked, "Are you leaving again?"
Ming Zhitian said, "No need for such a heavy atmosphere. I'm not going to be away forever."
Yan Lixue asked, "How long will you be gone this time?"
Ming Zhitian said, "I don't know. I think it will be quick. I promised Sect Master Tian Nan that I would help him get some materials from the Guhong Field."
"Guhong Field?!" The women were astonished.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Ming Zhitian asked, "What? You know about the Guhong Field too?"
Yan Fei said, "Of course, we do. We've heard about it since we were little in our families. The Guhong Field isn't a place anyone can go. Not to mention that cultivation is forcibly suppressed inside, and the demonic beasts are extremely fierce. Those who enter have a one-in-nine chance of survival. You shouldn't go."
Ou Yang Nifeng, the chatterbox, also chimed in, "Sister Fei is right. Husband, your cultivation is hard-won. Why put yourself in such danger?"
Ming Zhitian glared at her. "Perhaps the Guhong Field is a very good training ground for me. I must go. Besides wanting to give you a warm home, I also need the ability to protect you. I don't want to have regrets. And Master Sheng's dying wish also compels me to strengthen myself, then go to the Star Ancient Sect to see my master's wife and fulfill my wish."
"To be honest, after the Guhong Field, I will head to the Star Ancient Sect."
Jie Qingxia said, "Since Sect Master Tian Nan invited you, and I was once the sect leader of the Five Peaks Sect, I am also qualified to go. Let me accompany you."
"I'm going too, I'm going too!..."
The other women chimed in, especially Ou Yang Nifeng, who was the most enthusiastic. Ming Zhitian waved his hand. "No. The road ahead is dangerous. As the only man here, I will not let my women face danger with me."
