99: Chapter 99: The Li Family Visitors

Fang Zhuo was happy, but he did not become complacent because of it.

He remembered very clearly that on the Starry Sky Group's Transcendent combat power ranking, Wang Jinhua, who firmly occupied the top spot, had a combat power amplification that reached 120 times!

"Fang Zhuo!"

"What are you giggling about?"

Bai Shiwei came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, her hair damp and draped over her shoulders, large areas of fair, smooth skin exposed to the air.

Her tone was a bit tsundere, and she deliberately spoke with a nasal twang.

"Laughing at how stupid you are."

It was rare for Fang Zhuo to see Bai Shiwei like this.

Bai Shiwei rarely called him by his name; usually, when she did, it meant she wasn't very happy. Fang Zhuo knew it was because he had been a bit too rough earlier.

He deliberately reached out, making a move to pounce forward.

"We agreed to relax for two days, and there's no need to wake up early for training tomorrow. Why are you in such a rush to take a shower, wifey?"

"No!"

Bai Shiwei pressed her long, white legs together and gripped her bath towel tightly with both hands: "Sleep!"

Fang Zhuo, however, scooped Bai Shiwei up by her waist, placed her on the bed, went to the bathroom to rinse off, and quickly dived under the covers.

Bai Shiwei curled her body, unhappy but not wanting to truly reject Fang Zhuo. She stayed tense for a long time, but the mischievous hands she expected never came.

"Hubby?"

Bai Shiwei turned over and looked at Fang Zhuo, who had a smile playing on his lips.

"Shi Wei, we're going to your parents' house tomorrow. What do you think would be a good gift to prepare?"

Fang Zhuo had originally intended to give his mother-in-law and father-in-law each a stalk of dragon-shaped grass.

He had initially thought that since he wasn't short on money now, and with the stone milk crystal mine cave discovered in the purple bamboo forest in the C09 Wilderness Area, he would receive dozens of 'stone milk crystals' over the next six months to a year.

Giving them to Bai Shiwei first would be equivalent to hundreds of them! Each 'stone milk crystal' was worth several billion; this was a massive amount of resources.

In addition, he had received a notice from the group in the evening, telling him to return to headquarters as soon as possible; a Cosmic Martial Artist wanted to see him!

Fang Zhuo had a bold idea: establish a good relationship with the group's Cosmic Martial Artist and find a way to see if he could borrow treasures at the Cosmic Martial Artist level.

If he could use that for Shi Wei, wouldn't she take off instantly?

Fang Zhuo felt he was flush with cash now and didn't want to play favorites or treat his father-in-law and mother-in-law poorly, but then he reconsidered—a stalk of dragon-shaped grass was worth 2 billion!

It was fine for him now, but for ordinary martial artists, even Advanced Martial Artists, it was a massive fortune!

If he really gave it to them, Bai Qiming and his wife wouldn't dare to accept it.

Therefore, asking for Bai Shiwei's opinion was best.

"The dragon-shaped grass is too valuable, that definitely won't do. Hubby, let's just bring some sun-moon essence pills." Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes turned, and she said while pursing her red lips.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Fang Zhuo thought this was also good. If his father-in-law could use this to raise his Life Level to level 39, it would be safer for him to go to Origin Star in the future, and he could count as a capable assistant in Jinhe City.

If there were matters that Manager Zhao found inconvenient to deal with, his father-in-law could step in.

Bai Shiwei's brow unfurled upon hearing this. As she whispered to Fang Zhuo, her voice returned to its usual lightness.

...

The next day.

When Bai Shiwei pulled Fang Zhuo downstairs to go to her parents' house, they unexpectedly ran into her former best friend.

Zhao Qianqian was holding a man's arm, and the two were chatting and laughing. When they saw Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei, all four of them were stunned.

"Qianqian?" This is...

Bai Shiwei looked at the man beside Zhao Qianqian.

"Shi Wei?" Zhao Qianqian said in surprise: "When did you and Fang Zhuo get back? You didn't even let me know."

Her eyes were complex, and when she looked at Fang Zhuo, she felt the man beside her suddenly seemed mediocre.

Zhao Qianqian introduced him flatly: "This is my husband. We got our marriage certificate last week."

"Nice to meet you."

Fang Zhuo smiled.

He recognized this man—or to be more accurate, he had seen him before. This was Chen Ping, who had been hunted down by the alien civilization powerhouse Gu Ming.

The guy was quite clever; when he sensed the crisis, he immediately fled toward the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall. In front of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall building, Wang Jinhua killed Gu Ming with a single blade strike, and Chen Ping managed to escape the calamity.

Afterward, he heard that this person was a graduate of the Magic City Martial Arts University, a Superior Martial Aspect, and though young, was already an Advanced Martial Artist, deserving the title of genius.

"Fang Zhuo, I've long admired your name."

Chen Ping took the initiative to reach out his hand.

He also knew Fang Zhuo. As a specially appointed coach for the Tengfei Martial Arts Hall, the martial arts hall manager had previously wanted him to compete with Fang Zhuo.

Chen Ping had ignored it.

A few days later, Ding Shixun was killed, causing a stir in Jinhe City, which was then immediately suppressed by Wang Jinhua, and news of Fang Zhuo's s-rank contract with the Starry Sky Group spread.

Now, facing him, Chen Ping was even more surprised. Fang Zhuo seemed as calm as an ancient well, yet as vast as the mountains and seas.

A Transcendent Martial Artist!

And with the control of Internal Landscape - Great Achievement?

"What fame?" Fang Zhuo said with a chuckle, reaching out his hand.

"No, as the genius with the s-rank contract from the Starry Sky Group, you are famous in Jinhe City." Chen Ping was filled with suspicion and shock, feeling incredibly stunned, and unconsciously reached out his other hand as well, gripping Fang Zhuo's hand with both of his.

"I'm taking my wife to her parents' home. Let's chat another time."

Fang Zhuo smiled.

"Alright, take care."

Chen Ping wore a smile on his face as he watched Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei leave.

Zhao Qianqian said with a sullen face: "Does a genius from the Starry Sky Group really have such great charm?"

Her tone was dissatisfied. She already felt Chen Ping was inferior to Fang Zhuo, and to see Chen Ping lower his posture like that in front of them made her feel as if she had completely lost face in front of her best friend.

"He might already be a Transcendent Martial Artist."

Chen Ping looked at his wife in a daze.

"That's impossible, right?"

Zhao Qianqian's mouth widened.

...

Mingyue Residential Community.

After Bai Shiwei and Fang Zhuo went to the Bai family and had lunch, they returned to The Fang Family.

At this moment, they were followed by the couple Bai Qiming and Xu Xue.

This couple had initially refused to accept the sun-moon essence pills that Fang Zhuo brought, and it was only after Bai Shiwei spoke up that his mother-in-law, Xu Xue, finally accepted them.

"Shi Wei, are you thirsty?"

As the four of them got out of the car and hadn't walked many steps in the residential community, Xu Xue pulled a bottle of water out of her bag. "Here, share it with Fang Zhuo."

"Mom... that's enough!"

Bai Shiwei rolled her eyes. Now, the more her mother looked at Fang Zhuo, the more she liked him. She had completely forgotten what she was like when they first met!

After accepting the sun-moon essence pills, when she and Fang Zhuo were leaving, Xu Xue had cheekily mentioned that the in-laws, Li Ru, had previously invited them to eat together. They should take this opportunity to get together...

Fang Zhuo didn't mind; it was just having his mother prepare two extra sets of tableware in advance. It was good to let his father-in-law, an Advanced Martial Artist, interact and get more familiar with the family.

At the dinner table of Fang Family.

The two families got along exceptionally well, and everyone chatted around Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei, with the topic occasionally drifting to 'when are you going to have a kid?'

Bai Shiwei's face turned bright red.

"Shi Wei, you're not young anymore. While you're young, and before you become a Transcendent Martial Artist, and before Fang Zhuo becomes a Flying Martial Artist."

After three rounds of drinks, Xu Xue smiled: "Otherwise, it will be very difficult to have children later!"

Bai Shiwei was somewhat moved upon hearing this; it was indeed harder to conceive offspring the higher a martial artist's Life Level was.

Li Ru immediately followed up, looking at her son and saying: "Fang Zhuo, Shi Wei's mom is right. You can consider having a baby first."

Immediately, everyone at the table joined in the teasing. Among them, Fang Jing shouted the loudest.

It was also at this moment that downstairs from Fang Family, a small flying vehicle slowly hovered and stopped, and a man and a woman, two martial artists dressed in cyan martial arts uniforms, jumped down from the cabin door.

"There's a flying vehicle!"

Fang Jing had sharp eyes. Everyone turned their heads in unison.

The Fang Family was on the third floor, and they could just see the hovering flying vehicle and the two martial artists who had leaped down.

Fang Dawei's eyelids twitched, and his expression changed slightly.

Fang Zhuo took it all in, and he understood in his heart. It was people from the Xinyue Li Family!
