Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Tang Tiantian groggily opened her eyes like a lazy little kitten, curled up in Li Xiaoyao's arms.

Indulging in the comfort, she sat up in bed, the soreness in her body making her stretch.

It is said that distance creates beauty, and it's not just about being separated by miles to discover the everyday beauty unseen.

People can get aesthetic fatigue; even a Heavenly Immortal in front of you, given enough time, will seem just ordinary.

One trick to maintaining a relationship is to keep it fresh. Not seeing each other for a long time and then meeting occasionally allows the long-built emotions to suddenly explode, taking both parties back to the passionate days of first love.

Tang Tiantian walked to the bay window, reached out to draw the curtains, and sudden golden sunshine burst in, lighting up the yellowed room without leaving any corners in shadow.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, shifted his position, and leaned against the headboard. Tilting his head with a smile on his lips, he admired Tang Tiantian's nearly perfect body.

This is probably what you call art, damn it's art.

Li Xiaoyao got out of bed and wrapped his arms around Tang Tiantian from behind. Tang Tiantian twisted a little, and the atmosphere in the room instantly heightened again.

Another great battle ensued, lasting over an hour before they finally rested.

Li Xiaoyao leaned against the bay window, with Tang Tiantian snuggled up in his arms, completely drained of strength after being tossed around by Li Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, what time is it?" Tang Tiantian asked casually.

The cellphone flew over from the nightstand; Li Xiaoyao caught it and took a glance: "Eight fifty, still early, let's continue."

"No, it's already eight fifty, and I have things to do today." Tang Tiantian twisted her body and slid out of Li Xiaoyao's arms.

As she dressed, Tang Tiantian said, "I've received an invitation to attend an internal exchange event at the botanical garden today. Come with me."

"Botanical garden? What kind of exchange event?" Li Xiaoyao frowned, thinking to himself, what kind of exchange event is Cheng Dongliang hosting at the botanical garden out of the blue?

"I'm not very sure myself, but it seems quite upscale. It looks like all the big shots in Lu Province are on the guest list, and I heard many Cultivators were also invited."

"I'll make a call and ask." Li Xiaoyao dialed Cheng Dongliang's number, and soon the call was connected.

Upon connection, Li Xiaoyao cut straight to the chase, "Cheng Lao, what's this about the botanical garden event?"

Cheng Dongliang was silent for a few seconds before responding, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Li Xiaoyao felt a sense of unease, sensing something unusual in Cheng Dongliang's voice.

"If you've got the time, come out. I have something to tell you."

"Ten minutes, Gone with the Wind."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao rose from the window, quickly put on his clothes, and on his way out said, "You go ahead to the botanical garden, I'll join you once I've dealt with this."

"Hmm, be quick, okay? Xiaoyue's flight is back today, and she's been invited too."

"Alright, I know." Li Xiaoyao nodded and left.

Ten minutes later, Li Xiaoyao arrived at Gone with the Wind.

Zhao Ge now only comes to the bar every few days; the underground world of Ling City has long since grown and unified.

Before meeting Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ge had never even dreamed that one day he would reach such heights and be able to make money while bringing along a group of brothers.

All of this was thanks to Li Xiaoyao, and he had always been thinking about how to repay him.

But ever since he found out that Li Xiaoyao was a cultivator, he knew that he probably would never have the ability to repay him in this lifetime.

And the cultivation method that Li Xiaoyao once gave him, he has also been continuously practicing.

In just a few short months, he had gone from an ordinary person to the Qi Refinement stage. Although his cultivation level wasn't high, at least he was now a cultivator. What's more, among ordinary people, even as a Qi Refinement cultivator, he was someone people looked up to with great respect.

Cheng Dongliang didn't move as quickly as Li Xiaoyao, it would take him at least half an hour to catch up.

Li Xiaoyao entered the bar and happened to run into Zhao Ge, who was on patrol.

As usual, Li Xiaoyao explained the reason for his change in appearance, Zhao Ge took two beers from the bar, and found a quiet spot to sit down with Li Xiaoyao.

"Has it been peaceful recently?" Li Xiaoyao looked around and asked.

Zhao Ge took a sip of his beer and nodded, "Very peaceful. Now the entire underworld of Ling City has to watch my face and act accordingly, and this is all because of you."

Li Xiaoyao smiled. His original wish was to open a bar, acquire a few properties, and live a stable life as a shopkeeper.

Looking at it now with his current perspective, his goals back then were indeed pitifully small.

"How is the cultivation method I taught you working out? Any results?" asked Li Xiaoyao.

Nowadays, the only reliable assistant he had by his side was Jiuyin, which was far too few. If he could cultivate Zhao Ge, even if it would take more time, it was still better than having no one at all.

Speaking of the cultivation method, Zhao Ge's eyes lit up again, "I'm now at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage."

"First level of the Qi Refinement stage?" Li Xiaoyao was surprised. After entering, he had not sensed Zhao Ge's aura, and hence he did not know the specifics of his cultivation level. Who would have thought that in just a few short months, Zhao Ge had gone from an ordinary person to the first level of the Qi Refinement stage?

This speed of cultivation wasn't fast, but it was much faster than that of most people.

Li Xiaoyao casually took out a storage ring and put spirit stones, some pill medicines, and a dual cultivation technique inside, placed it on the table, and said, "This is a storage ring. After you go back, drop your blood on it and you will naturally know how to use it."

Zhao Ge was not pretentious and nodded as he put the storage ring on his finger.

Li Xiaoyao said, "You can talk to your wife about the cultivation, it's best to cultivate with her."

"I'm barely half-competent myself, I don't dare to teach recklessly."

Li Xiaoyao winked slyly, smiling mysteriously, "No worries, it's very simple. I've put a dual cultivation technique in the storage ring for you and your wife to practice together, it's twice the result with half the effort."

"Dual cultivation technique?" Zhao Ge was stunned for a few seconds, then realized, and his old face even flushed with a layer of embarrassment.

"You can study this slowly when you go back, and also choose a few brothers who can keep a secret to pass on the cultivation technique to them."

Zhao Ge looked up at him and asked, "Xiaoyao, are you thinking about establishing a sect?"

"Establishing a sect?" Li Xiaoyao was taken aback. His original intention was to cultivate a few of his own confidants, trustworthy confidants. However, Zhao Ge's suggestion did indeed tempt him.

Establishing a sect - in that case, he wouldn't be alone anymore.

Li Xiaoyao's current cultivation level was indeed very strong, but there were always those stronger than him in this world.

The power of one person is limited, but if he established his own sect and took disciples to train, that power would surely be formidable enough that ordinary sects wouldn't dare to provoke it.
