Upon advancing to a high-level Martial Artist, Lin Tian could clearly feel a tremendous improvement in speed, strength, and perception.

Along with the instant explosive power from the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record," Lin Tian believed that even sparring with the Grand Elder, he could at least fight to a draw, and at worst, escape unharmed, not as embarrassed as last time.

This time, Lin Tian took a total of six Meridian Passage Elixirs, and added to the one given to Liou Qingcheng, now there are five left.

The Meridian Passage Elixir is merely a medicine used to unblock the meridians in the human body. Even if you take more, it doesn’t improve one’s strength. Therefore, Lin Tian carefully put them all away.

Just as Lin Tian stood up, about to return to his room, he suddenly felt his entire body start to heat up.

The source of the heat was precisely his Sea of Qi, as if a volcano were erupting inside it.

"How could this be?"

Lin Tian’s brow immediately furrowed. Problems with his Sea of Qi were something he dared not take lightly, and he immediately sat cross-legged, meditating with the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record."

Soon, Lin Tian discovered the source of the problem. All the heat was emanating from that Golden Core!

Upon closer examination, the Golden Core was actually merging into his Sea of Qi!

This reminded Lin Tian of the Grand Elder’s experience, making him immediately fearful.

After all, this Golden Core was not his own. If it merged just like that, Lin Tian didn’t know what consequences it could bring, but he dared not take that risk!

The only thing he could do now was use Spiritual Qi to repel this Golden Core as much as possible.

Because this Golden Core had been existing in his Sea of Qi for nearly six months, it had almost fully integrated, making repelling it at this time quite troublesome, or so Lin Tian thought.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he began to repel it, the Golden Core started to distance itself, behaving as if it used to when they didn’t interfere with each other.

Lin Tian tried to fuse it again, and the Golden Core obediently started to operate once more.

Of course, this was just a test.

...

After the upgrade, Lin Tian’s overall state could be described in four words: refreshed and invigorated!

Humming a little tune, he returned to the living room, intending to eat something, when Liou Qingcheng approached.

She was still wearing her pink pajamas, smiling as she said, "It seems you’re in a good mood. Let me share some good news. The four of us have discussed and decided to go shopping for clothes tonight. You tidy up and come along." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Shopping for clothes?" Lin Tian rubbed his forehead. How is that good news? Just thinking about shopping gives him a headache, especially with so many women. He might not enjoy any charm; he’ll probably just end up carrying all sorts of bags.

"Yes, it’s just that we’ve got nothing much to do these days. Staying at home is boring, so we’ll go shopping." Liou Qingcheng laughed.

"Isn’t it rather inappropriate? Both you and Ruyan have just recovered from illness, you should rest well," Lin Tian said.

"Rest my foot! Who knows how many bones you broke before, got impatient just after a few days in the hospital. Now you have the nerve to tell us this. Besides, we’ve all recovered quite well. Ning’an also walks fine most of the time, so why can’t we go?"

"..." Lin Tian really didn’t know what else to say, so he could only agree.

...

The plan was to go shopping in the evening, but these four women were already getting ready.

The saying goes, three women make a stage.

With these four women together, Lin Tian thought it was more than a stage, it was a miracle!

Not to speak of others, but the fact that Mei Ruyan, with her usual personality, got along so well with them, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

Today was, as far as Lin Tian remembered, the day Mei Ruyan laughed the most. Is this not a miracle?

When all four of them were ready, it was already five in the afternoon.

Lin Tian sat on the sofa, looking at the row of beauties in front of him, each with their own charm and splendor.

Cold and elegant, noble, classy and beautiful!

All four of them are goddesses. Lin Tian believed, even if faced with a gay man, they could make him stand proud and tall!

What surprised Lin Tian more was that Liou Qingcheng, who usually wore little makeup, was today wearing light makeup similar to Xu Ning’an’s, with a beret and a red trench coat.

The two women’s ages were similar, both had tall and slender figures, wore similar makeup, and had matching styles. They looked like sisters!

Lin Tian couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva; this was simply a man’s paradise!

Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan’s aura was entirely different. Black boots, black stockings, a black sweater under a beige down jacket, with a scarf around the neck. And they were carrying this year’s latest LV bag, standing wherever they were, luring men to conquer them!

"Lin Tian. Lin Tian! Are you stunned?" Bai Shishi asked, her left hand on her hip, winking at Lin Tian, "Tell me, which of us four is the best-looking?"

"Uh..." Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. Was this a question? This was basically a landmine!

"All of you look good," Lin Tian replied.

Liou Qingcheng shook her head and laughed, "That’s too perfunctory an answer, say it again."

"..." Lin Tian opened his eyes wide, his gaze sweeping across them as he racked his brains and said, "I’m the best-looking!"

"Shameless!" all the women exclaimed in unison.

Lin Tian chuckled, completely unashamed, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Why are you still sitting there? Get up, we’re leaving. Do you have anything to pack, do it quickly." Liou Qingcheng urged.

Lin Tian stood up and said, "I think just carrying a credit card to swipe for you would be enough. No, I think I should hire some muscular guys to help carry the bags, otherwise, I’ll be worn out carrying them all myself."

"Hehe, you carry them. It’s a perk for you!"

Lin Tian immediately rolled his eyes, causing all the women to laugh loudly.

...

Lin Tian sat in the driver’s seat of the SUV, while Mei Ruyan and the others all sat in the back, expressing their disdain for Lin Tian, with none of them willing to take the front passenger seat.

Helplessly, Lin Tian ended up being just a driver.

After driving out of the villa district, Lin Tian constantly felt as if someone was following them, but there wasn’t a single vehicle behind, and looking in the rear-view mirror, he couldn’t see anything.

"Could it be an illusion?" Lin Tian wondered to himself, deciding not to worry about it.

Having already advanced to a high-level Martial Artist, Lin Tian believed there weren’t many people in the world who could track him without being noticed.

As the vehicle gradually hit the highway, more cars appeared behind them. But the feeling of being followed still lingered, growing increasingly intense!
