The next day.
Zhang Xiaohao finished his cultivation, hopped out of bed, took a cool shower, changed into a brand new Versace black suit, and headed downstairs.
"Good morning, son-in-law!" Sister Zhou greeted with a smile.
"Morning, Sister Zhou," Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.
"Son-in-law, is the dog at in the kitchen yours?" Sister Zhou asked.
"Yes, Sister Zhou, what’s up?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"It’s nothing!" Sister Zhou said, laughing as she entered the kitchen.
After using the bathroom, Zhang Xiaohao ca out to find Sister Zhou had already served the prepared food.
"Wow! Delicious dog at again, I am truly blessed," Cheng Qingsu exclaid excitedly.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating quickly.
Even Cheng Tianxue, who usually didn’t like at in the mornings, joined in the scramble.
"I’m full!" Cheng Tianxue announced.
Her cool gaze fell on Zhang Xiaohao.
"Have you found a job?" Cheng Tianxue asked.
"Ah! Are you talking to ?" Zhang Xiaohao pointed to himself.
"Hmph!" Cheng Tianxue snorted.
"I’ve found one," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"What job?" Cheng Tianxue asked.
"Sales," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"How much a month?"
"The probation period is about twenty or thirty thousand, I think! They also provide social security and housing fund," Zhang Xiaohao said truthfully.
Pfft!
"Brother-in-law, could you not joke? You, who have just found a job, get to earn twenty or thirty thousand a month during your probation? And they even take care of social security and housing fund? Tell , where in Nanhua City is there such a good company? I’ll resign imdiately and follow you," Cheng Qingsu, who had just taken a sip of milk, sprayed it out as she spoke.
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohao just laughed without explaining.
"If you think your current job is not good, you can co to . My company is still missing a senior executive," Cheng Tianxue said, then walked towards the door.
"Giggle!" Cheng Qingsu laughed and ran outside.
"Grandpa, I’ve eaten my fill," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mmm," Mr. Cheng nodded.
"I’ll wait for you outside!" Zhang Xiaohao told Sun Dafu.
After saying this, he turned and walked outside.
Thinking it over, Zhang Xiaohao took out the phone Cheng Tianxue had given him and dialed Wu Qiaoqiao’s number.
"Hello? Who is this?" Wu Qiaoqiao’s voice ca lazily through the phone.
"It’s , Zhang Xiaohao," he said calmly.
"Ah! Mr. Zhang, you changed your number?" Wu Qiaoqiao said in surprise.
"Stop shouting, the old number wasn’t convenient. I’ve switched to this one, so we can stay in touch easily," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mmm, honestly, this number is really nice! It even has six eights," Wu Qiaoqiao said enviously.
"I’m asking you, how is the Spring in Paris makeup doing now?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.
"Mr. Zhang, the Spring in Paris makeup has fully launched across Southern Province, and sales start in half an hour! Also, I’ve noticed a strange phenonon," Wu Qiaoqiao said.
"What phenonon?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Mr. Zhang, did you know? Since yesterday afternoon, Southern Province’s TV stations have been bombarding the airwaves non-stop with our advertisent! If things keep going like this, it won’t be long before our Spring in Paris sells out. Plus, Wang ngng, the beautiful anchor representing us, is likely to beco super famous thanks to this opportunity," Wu Qiaoqiao said excitedly.
"Hmm, I’ve got it. You’re fully in charge of this matter; if there’s anything you can’t handle, call at this number," Zhang Xiaohao said.
After giving a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
"Sir, did you need for sothing?" Sun Dafu asked.
"I plan to retrieve the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Ah! Sir, are you going there now? Don’t you need to prepare so more?" Sun Dafu asked.
"To avoid unforeseen complications, it’s best to secure it as soon as possible. Only then can I rest easy," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yes, I will follow your lead, Sir," Sun Dafu said.
"Wait here for a mont. I need to inform Grandpa," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He turned and went into the villa to speak to Mr. Cheng, telling him they might not return tonight.
All was ready.
Zhang Xiaohao, accompanied by Sun Dafu, rushed towards the depths of the vast mountains.
They left the urban area.
The two of them, employing their martial arts movent techniques at full power, dashed towards the mountains like thunderbolts, with incredible speed.
The deeper they ventured into the mountains, the more treacherous the paths beca.
Thorns were everywhere, vines grew in abundance, and occasionally fierce beasts would erge.
Before getting anywhere close to Zhang Xiaohao and Sun Dafu, the beasts were frightened off by the imnse aura that Zhang Xiaohao deliberately projected, causing them to scurry away in panic.
An hour and a half later.
Guided by Sun Dafu, the two had reached the outer periter of the area where the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit grew.
"Sir, this is the place! It was here that I encountered the Python Demon Beast and inhaled its poisonous mist. If it weren’t for eting you, Sir, my fate would have been uncertain," Sun Dafu said.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He sniffed vigorously a few tis, his brows slightly furrowed.
Then, his imnse Soul Power swept throughout the area, within a two-mile radius, no movent could escape his sight.
A few minutes later.
Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his Soul Power, his brow still furrowed as he spoke.
"You were lucky not to have gone further last ti; otherwise, not even a Daluo Immortal could have saved you," he said.
"Sir, does that an there’s sothing unusual about this place?" Sun Dafu asked.
"Do you see the faint red miasma in the air? It’s all deadly poison! With your strength, if you went in there, even without encountering any demon beasts, you’d be unlikely to live past an hour," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah! Should I actually be thankful to that demon beast from last ti?" Sun Dafu asked.
"In a sense, you should. Without it, you might already be reduced to nothing but bones by now," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.
"Sir, what do we do now?" Sun Dafu asked, frowning.
"What’s deadly poison to others doesn’t even rate in my eyes!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.
As he spoke, he bit his index finger and commanded, "Open your mouth!"
"Right away, Sir!" Sun Dafu imdiately opened his mouth.
Zhang Xiaohao squeezed three drops of blood into his mouth, saying, "Swallow it!"
"Hmm," Sun Dafu nodded, sensibly refraining from asking more questions and swallowed the three drops of blood.
No sooner had the three drops of blood entered his stomach than they transford into a miraculous power.
What exactly it was, Sun Dafu couldn’t say, but it felt very comfortable.
"Let’s go! First, we’ll slay that Python Demon Beast, then we’ll retrieve the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit," Zhang Xiaohao said.
Having said that, he stepped forward into the poisonous mist, leading Sun Dafu further inside.
"Sir, do you know where the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit is?" Sun Dafu asked.
"Not yet, but according to ancient legends, the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit should grow in a place where nature’s spiritual energy is most concentrated," Zhang Xiaohao said.
