Xuan Hao sneered, "You're always worrying about what to do tomorrow, whether you can win tomorrow's match, and whether you can break through your bottleneck in the future. And what's the result? The result is that you're making a mess of every single day!"
"You're upset today, unable to eat, sleep, or even concentrate on your practice. And then you go into tomorrow in this terrible state. This chaotic cycle will only snowball and continue indefinitely!"
Huo Wu was completely stunned by the scolding.
"Listen carefully: living in the present does not mean being unambitious."
Xuan Hao pointed to the table, "Those people who keep talking about 'for tomorrow' and 'for the future,' do you think they're mature and stable? Bullshit, those are just excuses they make for their unhappy days!"
"Only those who live each day well and manage their current affairs properly have the right to say that they need to plan ahead."
"You've already made a mess of things today, and you're thinking about tomorrow? I don't know what valuable things you can come up with. It'll just add more unnecessary anxiety."
Xuan Hao stared into Huo Wu's eyes, "That's how you are right now. You're aiming too high, focusing on things you can't reach for the time being, which makes you anxious and upset."
Huo Wu lowered her head, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.
She knew Xuan Hao was right. Ever since her defeat, all she could think about was how to catch up with Xuan Hao and how to prove herself, completely losing the tranquility she used to have during her cultivation.
"You said you were jealous of Ning Rongrong and the others' good luck."
Xuan Hao continued, "Okay, even if we take a step back and believe that God is truly blessed and you get the same benefits as them, and become just as strong, would you be satisfied?"
Huo Wu paused for a moment, instinctively wanting to nod, but then stopped.
"You won't."
Xuan Hao answered for her, "Because as long as you keep looking up, you will always find that there are people in this world who are luckier and stronger than them. As long as you keep comparing, you will never be satisfied."
"Jealousy and greed are bottomless pits. They can never be filled by external things and the improvement of one's strength alone."
The room fell silent again.
Huo Wu remained silent for a long time. Her mind was completely shattered and rebuilt by Xuan Hao's barrage of words.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Xuan Hao with a complicated expression.
Why...why are you telling me all this?
Huo Wu was somewhat puzzled.
Given Xuan Hao's cold-hearted nature, he could easily laugh at her or simply throw her out.
Why waste so much breath trying to enlighten this defeated opponent?
"Don't think that I can lecture you like this just because I'm lucky and have a high position now."
Xuan Hao shrugged and said casually, "I'm not that bored, and I don't have the time to be a life coach."
"I just don't want to see someone as confident and proud as you making a mess of yourself with this pointless self-destructive behavior."
Xuan Hao looked at Huo Wu, his eyes no longer showing the coldness they had before.
“I hate those losers who become timid and doubt their life when they encounter a little setback. I also don’t like seeing others bowing and scraping in front of me.”
"I hope everyone can live with confidence. Be proud when you should be proud, and be arrogant when you should be arrogant."
"Especially someone like you, whose luck has turned extremely bad since meeting me."
Huo Wu was taken aback at first, then her cheeks flushed red, and she glared at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.
Who says that?!
"Don't glare at me, I'm just praising you."
Xuan Hao couldn't help but chuckle, stood up, and looked down at her. "Why don't you try to think about it from a different perspective?"
"You're so unlucky today, running into me in the ring. You used all your trump cards and I crushed you mercilessly, you almost lost your life."
Xuan Hao reached out and flicked Huo Wu's forehead with his finger.
It didn't take much effort, but it made Huo Wu freeze for a moment.
"But, in the face of a madman like me who wants to smash the world to pieces at the drop of a hat, you not only survived, but you are now sitting here perfectly fine, with all your limbs intact, and you even have the mind to discuss the philosophy of life with me."
Xuan Hao put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked towards the door, waving his hand behind his back.
"That's not the point. The point is that you've experienced this kind of despair from being completely outmatched, and your brain hasn't broken down. You can still sit here and listen to what I have to say."
As he reached the door, Xuan Hao stopped and turned back to look at her.
"You're so unlucky, yet you've survived unscathed and will continue to live a good life."
"Think about it carefully, isn't this already pretty impressive?"
"Alright, the door's unlocked. Go back to sleep. Stop thinking about useless things and get on with your work tomorrow."
After saying that, Xuan Hao pushed open the door and walked out of the room, leaving Huo Wu sitting blankly on the sofa.
Huo Wu covered the spot on her forehead where she had just been flicked, and stared at the empty doorway.
The mountain that used to weigh on my heart has completely disappeared without me even realizing it.
She recalled Xuan Hao's last words before he left and couldn't help but chuckle.
Who comforts people like that?
That's utterly bastardly bullying logic.
but……
Huo Wu stood up, walked to the French windows, looked at the bustling night view of Tian Dou City outside, and took a deep breath of the cool night air.
She feels more relaxed than ever before.
Chapter 352 Holding you, I'm wide awake
……
Xuan Hao pushed open the door to the suite and strode inside.
The hall was brightly lit.
Na'er, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and even Xiao Wu, who usually goes to bed early, are still sitting on the sofa.
Several girls were gathered around a coffee table, seemingly discussing something in hushed tones.
Hearing the door open, five pairs of eyes turned to look.
Upon recognizing Xuan Hao, their expressions were remarkably identical:
Surprise, unexpectedness, and even a hint of barely concealed astonishment.
Xuan Hao changed into slippers, walked in, and looked at them speechlessly: "What kind of looks are those? Are you seeing a ghost?"
Na'er blinked her beautiful purple eyes, looked him up and down, and said with a hint of teasing in her tone:
"We thought you were going to have a long talk with that Fire Dance sister about life all night long."
“Even…” Na’er drawled out the last syllable, and said without any hesitation, “We were all prepared for you to have a serious accident and come back tomorrow morning clutching your back. But you finished so quickly?”
Xuan Hao's lips twitched twice.
"I had a talk with her about life."
Xuan Hao walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. "But an accidental clash? That's a bit unrealistic."
“I’ve only known her for half a day at most. I have absolutely no interest in physical contact without any emotional foundation. You all know that.”
Xuan Hao took a sip of water. "For me, if a woman's approach doesn't make my heart race, then such contact is no different from an offense."
"Although I don't have any moral fastidiousness, I don't just eat any wild game that comes to me."
"Alright." Xuan Hao put down his water glass, waved his hand, and started to shoo people away. "Go to sleep early. You have a match tomorrow. Don't overthink things here."
After saying that, he walked into his master bedroom without looking back and slammed the door shut.
In the living room, several girls looked at each other with strange expressions as they stared at the tightly closed door.
Although they often teased him about these things, they secretly didn't want to admit it.
But as it turns out, this arrogant bastard who always wants to smash the world to pieces is actually damnably principled on certain bottom-line issues.
Xuan Hao took a shower and then wrapped himself in the soft blankets.
After a day of turmoil, all he wanted to do was close his eyes and sleep soundly.
Not long after.
With a "click," the door was pushed open from the outside.
The footsteps were very light, slowly approaching the bedside.
Xuan Hao remained wrapped in the blanket, not moving an inch.
In this suite, the only person who would sneak into his room in the middle of the night without knocking is Na'er, that clingy girl.
Just as the figure walked to the bedside and was about to bend down to get closer...
Xuan Hao reached out and grabbed the other person's slender waist, pulling her onto the bed.
"ah--"
A deliberately suppressed gasp.
Xuan Hao skillfully rolled up the blanket, pulled the person into his arms, and then habitually buried his head in that warm and soft embrace, taking a deep breath.
However, it was all over in that one breath.
Xuan Hao instantly regained his senses.
Not right.
It lacks the sweet fragrance that completely relaxes the nerves; instead, it possesses a cool, noble, and even aggressive aura.
This is not Na'er.
This is Qian Renxue.
Xuan Hao suddenly raised his head and looked at the person in his arms with a puzzled expression, using the moonlight shining through the window.
Qian Renxue has shed the disguise of Xue Qinghe and regained her original stunning beauty.
She was wearing a form-fitting silk nightgown, her long golden hair cascading over the pillow.
Startled by Xuan Hao's sudden pounce, a distinct blush spread across her fair cheeks, and even her breathing became erratic.
