"It’s nothing, I just missed you both, just wanted to hold you quietly like this." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Yeah." Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai blushed and nodded.
"How has the family and the company been while I was away?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Everything is good at ho, and with your funds, the company has almost fully recovered. But we are short on staff, so Ruobai and I are planning to recruit from the job market these days." Cheng Tianxue said.
"How about this, skip the job market and directly recruit from the final-year students! You can contact the school and organize a recruitnt ceremony on campus." Zhang Xiaohao suggested, thinking for a mont.
"That works! But it’s a bit more troubleso." Cheng Tianxue said.
"A little trouble is worth it if they are loyal! Society is full of slick old hands who know how to benefit themselves, doing anything for enough profit. Students on campus haven’t picked up bad societal habits yet, with a little training, they can beco qualified talents!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"After you put it that way, it seems worth a try." Su Ruobai said.
"Alright, tomorrow I’ll go to Tianlong University and discuss with their principal, aiming to hold an on-site recruitnt at noon." Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Cheng Tianxue nodded.
"What are you talking about silly, we’re family." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Yes, we’re family." The two won nodded shyly.
"Honey, what exactly happened during this ti? Why do you seem so tired?" Cheng Tianxue asked confusedly.
"Just so small things, all solved now, nothing for you to worry about." Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.
"Hubby, we missed you."
"Zhang Xiaohao!"
Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai looked at him seriously, their faces flushed with shyness.
"I missed you too!" Zhang Xiaohao responded.
...
When feelings run deep, no words are needed. A glance, a movent, all convey silently.
The next day.
As the first rays of sunlight shone in, Zhang Xiaohao was already up.
Looking at the two won still sound asleep, Zhang Xiaohao smiled, rembering the scene from last night—it was like a dream, everything felt so unreal.
Pulling the quilt over them gently, Zhang Xiaohao walked out.
"Woof woof!" As soon as he stepped out of the room, a black shadow flashed, growling low, and rushed over.
"Go play!" Zhang Xiaohao said grumpily.
He casually kicked it to the side.
"Whimper!" The little pup cried pitifully, climbed up again, and snuggled against Zhang Xiaohao’s leg.
Its eyes, filled with grievance, seed to say, "Master, I missed you."
"Alright then! Considering all the credit you’ve gained recently, I’ll reward you! Ti for a transformation!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Woof woof!" The pup barked softly, its eyes showing confusion, as if asking, "Transform for what? Isn’t being cute enough?"
"Don’t stand there dumbfounded, I told you to transform, so hurry up and transform!" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.
"Roar!" The little pup growled low, its tiny body expanded with the wind, transforming into a terrifying form three zhangs high, its two dog heads, four dog eyes, staring at Zhang Xiaohao intently.
"This chance cos only once, eat as much as you can, and good luck to you!" Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.
With that, his right hand twitched, and thousands of Demon Cores flew out from his hand.
At first, the pup’s eyes still showed so confusion, but in the end, as it looked at the Demon Cores, its head got overly excited!
The two dog heads lunged forward, transforming into a flash of lightning, devouring the rushing Demon Cores.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
One by one, the Demon Cores quickly entered the pup’s mouth, getting devoured.
"Hmm? Five thousand Demon Cores just like that? Quite an appetite! Since you can eat, I’ll let you eat to your heart’s content, and see if you can beco a Luotian Realm beast after a sleep! And grow a third head!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
With that, his hand twitched again, and twenty thousand Demon Cores flew out directly from the Shennong Ring.
"Roar!" The pup growled low, its two dog heads swallowing rapidly, like a snake devouring a whale, crazily consuming these twenty thousand Demon Cores.
In less than ten minutes.
All twenty thousand Demon Cores were swallowed by the little pup.
"Hmm? Not down yet? Let’s go again then!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Shaking his right hand, he retrieved the remaining tens of thousands of Demon Cores from the Shennong Ring, instantly filling the room almost to the brim.
The pup’s eyes glinted gold with excitent, humming a little tune, it gobbled them up with gusto.
Half an hour later.
All the Demon Cores in the room, were devoured by the pup.
Thud!
The pup’s body stumbled, collapsing to the ground.
However, its two dog heads still looked at Zhang Xiaohao.
"Aren’t you afraid of bursting? Still want to eat even now!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Woof woof!" The little pup cried out pitifully, its silent eyes seemingly saying it wanted more.
"Sigh! I have more than twenty Demon Cores of Luotian Realm Peak beasts left. Since you want them, I’ll give them all to you!" Zhang Xiaohao sighed and said.
With that, he turned his hand and retrieved the last twenty-odd Demon Cores and tossed them to the pup.
"Roar!" The pup growled low, both dog heads opened wide, swallowing these remaining Demon Cores.
Bang!
After swallowing those last dozen Demon Cores, the pup fell to the ground, resuming its original size.
"No wonder it’s a Mutated Demon Beast, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, waking up to a skyrocketed cultivation level without even training!" Zhang Xiaohao said enviously.
Carrying the little pup, he walked towards the basent.
Once in the basent, he placed the pup on the ground, surrounded by endless nature’s spiritual energy for it to absorb, along with the vast Demon Cores inside it, enough to cause a transformation. Based on previous tis, this transformation may take about a week, possibly even longer.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaohao pulled out a cigarette, lazily smoking, sealing the Formation before heading outside.
"Xiaohao, back already!" Outside the villa, Mr. Cheng paused his Tai Chi Boxing and greeted with a smile.
"Yeah, good morning, Grandpa!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled and said.
"I can tell your spirit seems quite exhausted, did things not go as planned?" Mr. Cheng asked.
