Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

"Xiao Xu! Send over the report tomorrow, we urgently need it here."

Inside Xiao Runfa Supermarket, as Xu Hong looked at the message from his boss on his phone, pushing the shopping cart with one hand and holding his phone with the other, he sighed softly and complained, "That idiotic boss, looks like I have to work overtime again tonight, who knows how much hair I'm going to lose."

He tenderly touched his thinning hairline, where not much was left.

Xu Hong was an internet industry programmer, not yet thirty years old, but prematurely balding.

Back in university, he had been a dashing young man, but just a few years of work and relentless overtime had ravaged his good looks.

Especially his once thick, black hair, which was falling out relentlessly day and night, leaving him with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

Looking at his graduation photo from university, it was like looking at a completely different person.

"I also need to buy some shampoo."

Xu Hong put his phone back in his pocket and pushed the cart toward the toiletries section.

A young sales assistant dressed in the store's uniform eyed him for a while, as if spotting prey, and seamlessly appeared before Xu Hong.

"Handsome guy, we're having a promotion recently. Are you interested in this Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid? It's a new product with a powerful hair nourishing effect. The promotional price is only 119 yuan, and there are gifts with purchase right now…"

"No need, I'll just…"

Xu Hong intended to refuse loudly, but seeing the sales assistant was a good-looking young lady, the words got stuck in his throat.

In the end, after the sales assistant's persuasive talk, a dazed Xu Hong left Xiao Runfa Supermarket and only realized what had happened when he got home.

Looking at the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid in the bag, he almost slapped himself.

"Xu Hong, oh Xu Hong, what are you thinking, you single dog? Can't you show a little bit of willpower? Getting fooled into buying something again, and you didn't even dare to ask for her WeChat."

Xu Hong started to mock himself, then looked down again at the bottle of shampoo.

"Hair nourishment, visible results in one week, moisturizing the scalp, bringing back the thick black hair of my youth? Shampoos these days are just full of hot air."

Seeing the product introduction on the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, Xu Hong was speechless.

He had tried many things to save his hair, tried all sorts of methods, medication was ineffective, and hair transplants failed due to rejection.

He had also been misled by shampoos, falling for tricks like ginger shampoo that claimed to grow hair after washing but ended up being completely useless, harvesting nothing but his tax on gullibility.

"A price of 120 yuan, I could buy two or three bottles of regular shampoo instead, and it's such a small amount, enough for maybe a month's use."

Xu Hong shook his head, justifying his susceptibility to temptation, and now that he had bought it, he thought he might as well just use it. He was too shy to even consider returning it.

He picked up the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid and went into the bathroom. As he washed his hair, it fell out in clumps in his hands, which deeply saddened Xu Hong. What fell wasn't just hair, it was his youth!

After showering and using the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, Xu Hong felt a coolness on his scalp, as if something was penetrating deep into it.

But Xu Hong didn't make much of it, he had already lost hope for his hair.

Time passed just like that for several days.

Xu Hong kept to his routine of working from nine to five, sometimes staying late until nearly midnight, and upon returning home, he would take a shower and fall asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

One day, Xu Hong arrived at the office for work as usual.

Chen Jun, a colleague from the next workstation, passed by Xu Hong's desk and seemed to notice something, asking curiously, "Ah Hong, did you go get a hair transplant?"

Xu Hong, who was hunched over coding, lifted his head and said irritably, "Why would I go for a hair transplant? One transplant costs twenty to thirty thousand, and I've tried twice, both times were failures. The doctor said my scalp is no good, why would I waste that money?"

"Then what's that on your head, a layer of fuzz, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

Chen Jun pointed to Xu Hong's forehead, where a fine layer of fuzz was growing.

"What fuzz, are you joking with me?"

Xu Hong reached up to touch his head and then froze. He felt a layer of fine, prickly sensations.

"Damn, could it really be..."

The sensation Xu Hong felt abruptly told him that something had changed on top of his head.

Rushing to the bathroom, Xu Hong saw through the mirror his own scalp, which was previously sparse, was now covered in a large amount of new hair.

This new growth was fine and dark, and although it was still just a shallow layer, it was visibly healthy and not at all like weak, fluffy hair.

"The hair growth liquid is actually real, my god, it hasn't been long at all! And the effects are so astonishing."

Xu Hong's pupils dilated with shock. He had been so exhausted recently that washing his hair had been a hasty affair, neglecting any changes on his scalp.

It was only now that he noticed the new growth.

And this change was clearly due to the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid; it was the only hair growth product he had used recently.

"Holy shit, that's amazing! This hair growth liquid actually works, the product description wasn't exaggerating!"

Xu Hong was thrilled, looking at the new growth on his head with disbelief in his eyes.

Heaven knows how much money he had spent trying to fix his hair, easily more than a hundred thousand, only to be met with disappointment time and again.

But now, unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel. A simple shampoo had saved his hair.

He had initially thought that the 119-yuan shampoo was a bit expensive, but now Xu Hong didn't think so at all. Such miraculous hair growth effects at this price were incredibly reasonable.

When Xu Hong came out of the bathroom, many of his nearby colleagues had gathered around, curiously looking at his hair, clearly, Chen Jun had spread the word.

"Damn, you really grew hair."

"Ah Hong, no, Brother Xu, how did you do it, tell your buddies, will you?"

"What anti-hair loss treatment did you use? The effect is quite strong, recommend it to us quickly."

A group of colleagues crowded around Xu Hong; they were all internet technicians well aware that most people in the industry have serious hairline worries, and they also had a need for hair growth.

"I used a shampoo, just a few days, and it's like this. I'm not lying to you, it's called something... Tian something, I'll go back and check, then tell you tomorrow."

Xu Hong was not stingy and started sharing with everyone right away.

"Shampoo?"

The colleagues looked at each other, feeling skeptical about the product, but the result on Xu Hong's head was undeniable.

"Alright, I'll buy a bottle to try out later."

After all, a bottle of shampoo wouldn't break the bank, so these colleagues all planned to buy and try it out later.
