Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Amidst their usual bickering, Shen Bai carried his younger sister home, not forgetting to buy 5 jin of spirit beef along the way.

Huh, is Lü Shu not here today?

After buying the meat, Shen Bai realized something was wrong; there was no familiar system notification sound.

She wanted to ask Shen Wenwen, but she was afraid it would backfire and only pique her sister's interest in the black-haired boy.

"Shen Bai, can we really eat spirit beast meat again?"

Shen Wenwen looked at the five catties of spirit beef that Shen Bai was carrying in disbelief.

She knew very well how hard Shen Bai had worked for this family, so she never dared to ask Shen Bai for a single extra penny, nor did she dare to say that she wanted to eat meat.

However, ever since Shen Bai's birthday the night before last, everything seems to have started to change.

It seems that things at home are gradually getting better.

Even she, who had been slow to enter the Acquired Realm, successfully entered the gate and awakened her divine power talent. This change made the little girl somewhat frightened, wondering if she was dreaming!

She was terrified of the moment she woke up from the dream.

"There shouldn't be any problems for the foreseeable future!"

Shen Bai bought some more green vegetables, intending to stir-fry them to eat with the meal.

Eating only meat will cause constipation.

"Shouldn't you save some money? You'll be going to the academy soon, and you'll need even more money then! I heard the tuition is very expensive!"

Shen Wenwen pouted, wanting to persuade Shen Bai to be more frugal.

"It's okay, if I don't have enough money, I'll go earn more!"

Shen Bai casually rubbed Shen Wenwen's pigtails. After the little girl started learning, both her appearance and hair quality had changed slightly, and they felt even more comfortable to touch.

Seeing Shen Bai's confident demeanor, Shen Wenwen stopped talking. Just as they reached the door, she suddenly blurted out, "Then you can't just drink meat soup today!"

Shen Bai was taken aback, then laughed.

"Okay, I'll eat meat today too!"

……

That evening, Shen Bai rushed to An Li's house again, only to find that An Li's mother wasn't there. This surprised him, and he couldn't help but joke, "Is your mother really so comfortable leaving you alone with me?"

"You're not a bad person!"

After An Li became familiar with Shen Bai, she also opened up.

Previously, all her focus had been on cultivation, believing that one was not qualified to be in a relationship until reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Although she greatly admired Shen Bai's cultivation and theoretical knowledge these past few days, her mind was still on martial arts: "Come on, let's go all out today and let me see your true level!"

Shen Bai, who had mastered all four basic martial arts techniques, was now eager to put them to use.

Having gained experience, I haven't really had a proper fight yet, so let's have a good battle today!

They both saw a burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

……

An hour later, An Li collapsed on the basement floor.

Her stunningly beautiful face was flushed slightly from the exertion of exercise.

Her heavy breathing and the opening and closing of her luscious red lips were like those of a fish stranded on the shore, desperately needing oxygen.

Her soaking wet hair lay disheveled on her forehead; she didn't even have the energy to fix it.

It looks like it's been completely ruined.

"Shen Bai is actually that strong? He can last that long?"

"A cultivator at the sixth level of the Day After Tomorrow realm can fight me for an hour?"

An Li initially suppressed her cultivation level, fighting Shen Bai with only the cultivation of the sixth level of the Acquired Realm. However, as the fight progressed, she discovered that Shen Bai's basic martial arts skills were simply too strong.

He can switch between reality and illusion at will, his movements are unpredictable and unpredictable, he is proficient in both fist and sword techniques, and his qi, blood, and physique are incredibly strong.

Only after raising his cultivation to the eighth level of the Acquired Realm was he able to completely suppress Shen Bai.

After a long while, An Li finally calmed her breathing, returned to the bathroom in her room, rinsed herself off slightly, and then threw herself into the soft quilt.

Today was so awesome!

To be continued tomorrow!

……

Shen Bai was also exhausted!

Earning those hundred spirit stones was really hard!

In order to hone An Li's basic martial arts skills, he basically did his best to teach her moves.

If the two were of similar cultivation levels, it wouldn't be a problem, but the key issue is that this girl is far stronger than him.

Even though An Li was trying her best to control her strength, martial artists don't care about anything else when they get carried away. As a result, Shen Bai's body was covered in bruises.

If it weren't for the perfect Iron Shirt skill protecting him, he would probably have already been broken through and suffered internal injuries.

This is the reality of sparring partners.

There's no romance or poetry, just getting beaten! Getting beaten! Getting beaten all the time!

"I need to improve my cultivation level as soon as possible!"

After sharing the spirit beef with Shen Wenwen at noon, Shen Bai realized that his time to enter the seventh level of the acquired realm was about to be brought forward. His body, which had been lacking high-energy nourishment, seemed to open all the mouths of every cell at noon today, greedily absorbing the spiritual power and energy contained in the spirit beef.

Unfortunately, it's still too little.

This portion of Ling beef was just right for Shen Wenwen.

For me, I'm not getting enough to eat.

As Shen Bai walked out of Yongwei Mansion, he saw Big Gold Tooth waiting by the roadside.

Jin Hai was wearing a bright silver suit today, looking quite flamboyant: "My little brother, you're absolutely amazing! I didn't expect An Li's family to approve of you so much, actually willing to give you a long-term contract!"

"A long-term contract?"

Shen Bai was delighted upon hearing this: "Does a longer contract mean additional payment?"

Jin Hai grinned, showing off his large gold teeth, and said, "That's true, but not by much. An Li's mother has indicated she's willing to sign you to a one-month contract. For the next month, including the Lunar New Year period, you'll need to be available at any time to spar with An Li. In return, your pay will be increased to 120 low-grade spirit stones per hour!"

Jin Hai's quote was after his commission; he didn't know the original price An Li's family had given her, nor would he ask An Li. Since she had chosen Jin Hai as her agent, she would abide by the rules of this industry.

This is the most basic professional ethics.

"One hundred and twenty?"

Shen Bai hadn't expected the price to actually increase. Then he remembered something: "I should be able to advance to the seventh level of the Acquired Realm in the next couple of days, and all my basic martial arts skills were perfected yesterday, so..."

Jin Hai looked at Shen Bai in surprise. He didn't expect this kid to have so much hidden. Just the day before yesterday, he told him that he hadn't perfected two basic martial arts techniques. And now, in just two days, he has perfected them.

Even taking medicine wouldn't work this fast, would it?

"That way, I can help you negotiate a new price!"

Jin Hai was naturally happy to earn more money: "Come on, let's go grab a late-night snack!"

Shen Bai didn't stand on ceremony and followed Jin Hai on his silver-white flying boat.

Sure enough, the person is flamboyant, and so is the flying boat.

……

The two flew at breakneck speed and landed at a roadside food stall a few minutes later.

Seeing that Big Gold Tooth had brought him to a place like this, Shen Bai was speechless.

That's it?

Is it appropriate for you to come to a street food stall in a luxury speedboat?

Big Gold Tooth seemed to have guessed Shen Bai's thoughts, and grinned: "Boss, give me 50 skewers of mutton, 50 skewers of beef, 20 skewers of kidney, 50 oysters, 20 skewers of tiger penis, 20 skewers of chives, 20 skewers of yam... and a bottle of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Wine."

Shen Bai was stunned: "Big brother, how weak are you?"
