I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Ning Yuantai was driving and, without turning around, stuck out one hand to make an OK sign: "No problem, Xue."

Yu Ga Shenle tilted her head: "Xue Jun, why book a hotel room?"

Xue Jing gave her an odd look: "For you to stay in."

Yu Ga Shenle was taken aback: "Eh?"

"What, you don't want to stay at my place, do you?" Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

"Can't I?" Yu Ga Shenle pouted.

"No, you can't," Xue Jing shook his head.

"There are too many people living at my place already, no rooms left."

The house wasn't that big, just four rooms: one for the parents, one for Xue Wan, one for Xue Jing, and now that the little maid Yun Qin had moved in, even the last room was taken.

Although Xue Jing was quite wealthy now and could change houses, he wasn't fussy about his living space and didn't plan to swap out the current home where he felt comfortable and cozy.

"I can just share a room with Xue Jun," Yu Ga Shenle said dolefully.

"Hmm?" Miao Miao, who had been lazily draped over Xue Jing's shoulder, sat up.

Xue Jing pressed her back down with his hand, calmly saying, "We're not that close yet. A man and a woman barely knowing each other for less than a day and then sleeping in the same room would have an immeasurable bad influence on teenagers."

"Please~ (I'm begging), I can do anything, don't leave me behind, Brother Jing..."

Yu Ga Shenle clutched Xue Jing's arm and coaxed pitifully.

"Your Chinese is too bad, I don't understand what you're saying," Xue Jing remained uninterested.

Brother, your hand may be soft, but my heart is hard.

Seeing that Xue Jing was truly difficult to sway, Yu Ga Shenle immediately dropped the pitiful act and huffed:

"Hmph, heartless man."

Then she laughed again, "But that's exactly why it's good..."

The car quickly arrived at Xue Jing's home.

After getting out of the car, Ning Yuantai said he was at their disposal anytime, then drove off.

Yu Ga Shenle expressed a desire to explore the city and wanted Xue Jing to accompany her, but he declined, citing other matters to attend to. She didn't seem to mind and walked off with light steps on her own.

Entering the apartment complex, they took the elevator to their floor, Xue Jing took out his keys to unlock the door, pushed it open, and returned to his home.

As soon as he arrived, he smelled the familiar scent that belonged only to his home, which gave him the real feeling of being home.

Since Xue Wan had been the only one at home recently, and she, although tidy, wasn't very diligent about cleaning, the place was somewhat messy.

The moment the little maid entered, she immediately got to work, thoroughly cleaning the whole house.

Miao Miao was fully sleepy; as soon as Xue Jing placed her on the sofa, she instantly drifted off.

Xue Jing picked up his phone and sent a message to Xue Wan that he had arrived home.

Less than three seconds later, Xue Wan replied.

[Huh!??]

[Why didn't you say you were coming back sooner!?]

[I'm heading home now, just stay where you are and don't move.]

Xue Jing replied:

[Can't stay, I've got things to do outside.]

After sending the message, he put his phone back in his pocket.

"Hmm... I should stop by the dojo first."

Returning to Qingcheng after nearly a month, he had quite a few things to do.

A few days ago, Xue Jing had already been contacted by his senior, Chen Fuguang, who mentioned that the new dojo had been renovated and was just waiting for his return to hold a housewarming party.

Although the dojo wasn't officially open yet, it was already in use.

Xue Jing thought for a moment then stepped out the door, cast Aura Blockade to lower his presence, then leaped up to the rooftop of the building, and dashed towards the direction of the new dojo with his light-body skill.

...

The new Hidden Dragon Dojo was located in a not-so-busy area of the East City District.

It was originally a venue of the Tiger Soul Dojo but was transferred to Hidden Dragon after Xue Jing took in the young disciple Zong Shichan.

This dojo covered an area of over 6,000 square meters, nearly the size of a soccer field, five floors in total, with usable space more than tenfold that of the original Hidden Dragon Dojo.

Although in terms of location it lagged behind the bustling central location of the original dojo, it was still situated in the 'East Rich' East City District. Buying such a large standalone venue in such an area, even at a friendly price, Li Qi's savings must be considerably solid.

Especially since the venue was originally built for martial artists, the materials used were far superior to ordinary construction, and accordingly, outrageously expensive.

Xue Jing arrived and stood at the entrance, looking up to see "Hidden Dragon Dojo" four golden characters emblazoned on billboards atop the rooftop.

Below it, a huge LED screen was embedded in the wall, displaying a slideshow—all various highlight photos of him from the U19 competition.

The debut of his stunning strike, Cherry Full Moon turning back to look amidst the crowd, impeccably finishing off Zhou Yinglin, the moment of holding up the trophy after winning the championship...

"Uh..." Xue Jing touched his nose.

He stepped through the gate, and since the official business hours had not yet started, there was no one at the front desk.

Xue Jing went straight into the elevator and arrived on the fifth floor.

All the Direct Disciples' cultivation rooms as well as Li Qi's residence and office were located on this level.

Xue Jing was quite curious and wandered around this floor, familiarizing himself with the new environment.

After browsing around various places for a while, Xue Jing came to a set of black double doors he did not know the purpose of, simply pressed the door handle, and pushed the door to enter.

Since there were no labels on the door, he was unclear about what this room was.

Then, trouble ensued.

"..."

Meng Qingjiao, who was half undressed, met Xue Jing's gaze with her cool eyes.

Her curvaceous and slender waist shone like white jade, with her delicate and upright belly button adorning it like a jewel.

Then... big, big, big.

An unbelievably large World Cup displayed its unparalleled presence, so magnificent it made one worry whether the material covering it could withstand such a terrifying mass.

Xue Jing's eyes widened slightly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"..." Meng Qingjiao was not panicking but silently pulled her clothes down, her cool eyes gazing at Xue Jing.

"...So this is Meng's training room, no wonder the soundproofing is so good, there's not a sound from inside," Xue Jing murmured and hooked up a faint, forced smile.

Meng Qingjiao, as always silent, had a hint of blush on her pretty face, stepping towards Xue Jing.

Then she extended her jade-like hands, pinched Xue Jing's cheeks on both sides, and pulled them apart, stretching his face into a rather comical flat shape.

"..."

Seeing a subtle smile on Meng Qingjiao's lips, Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

This must mean she would forgive him after a little punishment.

"Meng, I'm back," he said softly.

"..." Upon hearing this, Meng Qingjiao's cool eyes softened, she nodded, and placed her hand on Xue Jing's head to pat it.

As if to say, welcome back.

After patting his head, she seemed to feel that a pat wasn't quite enough and thought for a moment, then stretched out her hands and embraced Xue Jing.

"Hm?" Xue Jing's eyes widened, feeling something incredibly soft against his chest and belly...

The fragrance of orchids and musk lingered at his nose. Xue Jing's hands froze, and he was held in place, unsure of what to do.

The Eye of the Silent Nether Nest had nothing on Meng.

Seeming puzzled by Xue Jing's reaction, Meng Qingjiao looked up at him, then grabbed his hands and placed them on her waist, signaling him to embrace her as well.

Xue Jing, as if he were a fledgling who had never touched a girl's hand, let Meng Qingjiao do as she wished, staying completely still like a puppet.

After hugging for a while, Meng Qingjiao finally let go of Xue Jing.

As the astonishing softness departed, the hard control was lifted, and Xue Jing regained the ability to move, his expression somewhat dazedly watching Meng Qingjiao.

"Meng, you..." he began hesitantly.

"..." Meng Qingjiao tilted her head in confusion, her gaze meeting his, as cool as ever.

Xue Jing sighed lightly and said, "No, it's nothing... Meng, is Master here?"

Meng Qingjiao nodded, took Xue Jing by the hand, and walked out of the cultivation room, leading him to see Master Li Qi.

Xue Jing was silently led away, shaking his head with a chuckle. Experience tales at empire

He felt that Meng probably treated him like a child.

What he didn't notice was the delicate, shy blush on Meng Qingjiao's face as she walked ahead, like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom.
