Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

"Yu Zhou? Long time no see. This is a bit difficult to explain. But I joined the Cultivator Management Bureau ahead of schedule." White Wolf raised his right hand and waved.

This girl was his high school deskmate.

She's usually quiet and reserved, but when she laughs and hits someone, her eyes crinkle up like a little fox, which is very cute.

The two originally had a good relationship, and White Wolf even tricked the enemy into giving him temporary buffs a few times.

But a few months ago, she inexplicably stopped paying attention to him.

White Wolf didn't think too much about it.

After all, it's normal for anyone to get angry after being stood up a few times.

Unexpectedly, she saved her own life today.

Yu Zhou ran up to him.

She stared intently at the white wolf's still-bleeding left hand, her eyes red-rimmed, as if she wanted to say something, but forcibly held back.

Then, Yu Zhou looked at the Cloud Sea Building behind the White Wolf, took a deep breath, and said timidly.

"Have you...have you seen Chen Li? She's been inside for a long time. I haven't been able to get through to her on the phone."

"Chen Li?" White Wolf turned around subconsciously.

The seven floors below the Yunhai Building are a shopping mall, and visitors are not prohibited from entering.

The problem is that the Cultivator Administration Bureau has already cleared it all the way up... definitely past the seventh floor.

In this situation, no news is the worst news.

As Bai Lang pondered how to tell Yu Zhou this cruel news, he noticed that the girl's expression was off.

I felt a mix of happiness, resentment, and disdain.

Looking at myself, it was as if I saw a white lotus floating in a cesspool.

White Wolf thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why, so he simply gave up: "I didn't notice. It's not safe here, you should go back to school!"

"But..." Yu Zhou hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Although Chen Li told me not to say it, I think you should know."

"Huh?" White Wolf was even more confused.

Chen Li was a well-known social butterfly during late-night talks in the boys' dormitory.

She reportedly has had countless boyfriends.

So much so that when the temporary buffs were interrupted, White Wolf even had the idea of ​​trying to trick her into giving him some temptation.

He gave up completely after just one close look.

There's no way to create any temptation, so how can you deceive them?

At the same time, he also gained a great deal of awareness of the exaggeration of the rumors about the boys' dormitory—it was hard to imagine that so many people would be willing to be her boyfriend.

That was all he could remember about Chen Li.

He didn't even know that Chen Li and Yu Zhou were best friends.

What is there to know?

Yu Zhou took a deep breath: "She gave birth to your child and is planning to find someone to adopt it here."

"Holy crap!" White Wolf exclaimed in shock.

Even Cen Feiyu, who was pretending to be in a daze, couldn't help but glance at her.

Seeing the slightly angry girl, White Wolf quickly explained, "No, I only saw her once, in the school corridor!"

"That's what she said!" Yu Zhou's face flushed red. "She said you two are boyfriend and girlfriend, and told me... told me to keep my distance!"

"Could it be some kind of superpower? I've seen similar records in the bureau. White Wolf, think back to that time you saw him; was there anything unusual about his body?"

Cen Feiyu was originally just observing.

But after considering a certain possibility, I also became nervous.

Every person with superpowers is a treasure to humanity.

Even if this ability is a bit strange, who knows when it might come in handy?

"Both of you, calm down!"

The white wolf sighed.

Although he was obsessed with cultivation, he was still a person from two different lifetimes, and he quickly came up with the simplest possibility.

"Is it possible that she's just lying to you?" White Wolf looked at Yu Zhou. "Her reputation among the boys isn't very good."

Looking at the girl's face, which remained elegant and dignified even when she was angry, he explained in a deep voice, "Because of an accidental pregnancy, and because of jealousy... it's normal to casually throw dirty water at your best friend's friend, right?"

Is it normal?

Yu Zhou was taken aback.

When Chen Li became pregnant unexpectedly, her best friend was terrified.

The other party told him directly that the child belonged to the White Wolf.

In addition, during that period, White Wolf did indeed inexplicably become clingy with everyone.

She believed it.

Now the person involved is telling themselves that it was all a lie?

After explaining his grievances, Bai Lang quickly recalled the second half of Yu Zhou's question: "Looking for someone to adopt you? Why not an orphanage? Why bring you to Yunhai Building?"

Yu Zhou stammered, "She said... the people in Yunhai Building are all rich and powerful... if we leave the child here, he will definitely find a good home."

"That's not right!" White Wolf frowned. "Healthy children are highly sought after in orphanages, and those who can adopt them are all either rich or powerful."

"She said she was worried that the child would be abused in the new family and wanted to know who adopted him," Yu Zhou said.

"Hehe!" the white wolf chuckled.

Unlike Yu Zhou, he is now no longer afraid to think of Chen Li in the worst possible light.

Why worry about children being abused?

Perhaps they want to recognize each other as relatives in the future!

But soon, he recalled what Yu Ce had mentioned and immediately turned to ask, "I remember that places with heavy resentment are easier to open portals to other worlds?"

Cen Feiyu immediately realized: "You suspect that Chen Li and her child went through something, which is why her resentment erupted?"

"Exactly! A place like the Cloud Sea Building is already overflowing with resentment by the end of the day. Add this final push, and it's no wonder anything could happen," White Wolf said.

Cen Feiyu thought for a moment and found it reasonable, so he took out his phone and started pressing the buttons.

A moment later, the phone rang.

It was Fang Chi who called.

Cen Feiyu beckoned Bai Lang and Yu Zhou closer, then turned on the amplifier.

Fang Chi's voice came through: "Are you sure? I checked, floors one through seven have been cleared. Those who needed to leave have left, those who needed to be killed have been killed, but nothing was found."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhou went limp.

White Wolf quickly helped him up: "Boss, have you seen a baby? We suspect that's the source."

"baby?"

Fang Chi's voice came after a long pause: "No. We didn't see anything, neither living nor dead. Do you know the area that girl might have been in? I'm free now, I'll go take a look."

Bai Lang and Cen Feiyu looked at Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou gritted her teeth and stood up, speaking as clearly as possible: "Rotak Cafe. She said it's full of financial elites!"

"it is good."

Fang Chi paused for a moment, then hung up the phone.

The three of them didn't have much to do for the rest of the time.

The people upstairs are at a higher level; it's not something they can participate in.

So Cen Feiyu continued to stand there in a daze.

Only Bai Lang and Yu Zhou remained to chat.

With the college entrance exam approaching, Yu Zhou spends her days in class. If it weren't for her best friend, her life would be even more boring than Bai Lang's.

Now that she has cleared up the misunderstanding with her deskmate, she can't help but ask all sorts of questions.

They even wanted to invite the White Wolf back for a visit.

White Wolf refused, and then watched with satisfaction as the system notification appeared:

[Rejecting the temptation of beauty for the sake of martial arts]

[Gain temporary buff: Increases the effectiveness of the "Water and Wood Cloud Yang Skill" by 2000% for 24 hours]

[Since the original gain still exists, it will be replenished to the maximum limit.]

[Temporary buff: Increases Shui Mu Yun Yang Gong cultivation speed by 2000%; 23 hours and 59 minutes remaining]

Now that he had the temporary boost, White Wolf instinctively wanted to send her back to school.

But after considering his new strategy, he changed his tune: "I'm feeling a bit dizzy and need to practice the Cloud Yang Technique to recover. I only trust you; could you keep an eye on things for me?"

Seeing the girl solemnly agree, the white wolf ruthlessly closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"boom!"

It sounded like thunder inside the Cloud Sea Building.

The white wolf quickly opened its eyes.

Countless pieces of glass shattered and flew outwards from the Yunhai Building.

Then thick smoke billowed out from inside.

A shadow as tall as a story quickly went from blurry to clear and rushed out to the side.

The three of them, including the white wolf, were completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

The white-haired old man in the distance, however, seemed to have finally found a place to use his skills.

The longsword was drawn once more.

But in the next instant, the shadow was swatted away as easily as swatting a mosquito.

Seeing the white-haired old man spitting blood like a showerhead, the white wolf hesitated and said, "That...that's an enlarged version of a baby?"
