Hu Mei-niang, weakened and limp from the stimulation of the fragrant aroma, could only let Zhou Chao have his way. How strong Zhou Chao was—how beastly! He showed no care for her delicate nature, pouring out all his strength, making Hu Mei-niang struggle desperately, her hair disheveled, her voice filled with cries. "I've said it before—his flair was impressive, but it didn't work. My efforts, though modest, were practical!" Zhou Chao, while indulging his lust, said with a lecherous smile. "You've violated me. One day, you'll pay a heavy price for this!" But Zhou Chao didn't slow down. He laughed with a light, easy grace: "Great! I'm thrilled! This sensation is even more delightful than being a god! Even if I die, it'll be worth it!" Then he intensified his efforts, pressing hard into Hu Mei-niang's body. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Hu Mei-niang trembled violently, screamed, and fainted. After a while, Zhou Chao finally reluctantly withdrew his member, spreading the remaining fluids over Hu Mijing's face. He said, "From now on, you're mine—my woman! Because I've successfully harvested your essence! Hahahaha! My power has increased by 20%! Now, facing Gao Liang, that clumsy fellow, I'm practically effortless!" Hu Mijing never expected that, having intended to harvest yang energy to replenish her yin, she'd been secretly undermined and instead had her yin energy extracted—this was completely unexpected. After being drained of her essence, her own power had significantly diminished. Even compared to Ying'er, she now fell short—she was barely above ordinary, only slightly stronger than a common mortal. Oh my goodness! The cosmic energy she and Ying'er had cultivated together for 3,000 years had been entirely absorbed by this very handsome, yet unassuming, man! And now, she had to patiently serve him every day—what a torment! Then, Gao Liang had regained consciousness and was looking at Zhang Yупing and Ying'er—two women who meant a great deal to him—and asked, "What exactly happened just now?" Zhang Yупing was about to respond, but Ying'er interjected, masking her own words: "Master! Honestly, there's nothing special—your wine has made you a bit drowsy. One beautiful woman simply pulled you here!" "Oh! Oh!" Gao Liang's head felt a bit dizzy, and he decided not to press further for clarification. "Ging'er, I want you to return to your former appearance! I don't want you to look like this!" Gao Liang gazed at Ying'er's weary face and sorrowful expression, and felt a deep sense of compassion. Zhang Yупing also widened her eyes, watching this woman both familiar and yet strangely different. Ying'er shook her head, saying that everything had been destined—what mattered was that they both lived well. She urged them not to worry about her. Then, with a smile, she added, "You two are truly meant for each other! I wish you both well!" "I will become a god! My unique abilities Ying'er shook her head again and said, "Master! I've double-checked with my brainwave consciousness detection, and truly, Miss Yu Ping cares deeply about you! Please don't let her down!" With that, she walked away without turning back, leaving Gao Liang calling after her. She didn't look back because she was full of tears—she didn't want Gao Liang to see her sad tears. This was a point Yang'er had previously mentioned to Gao Liang. Gao Liang wanted to select all options, but Yang'er only allowed one choice. After careful consideration, Gao Liang ultimately chose to focus on practicing martial arts. Yet, Zhou Chao, this young man, actually outshines the main character—he has secured both the beautiful girl and the martial arts training. Is this not a matter of injustice? Is the heavens deliberately setting obstacles for the protagonist's journey to becoming a god? "I wish to become a god"—this ideal remains steadfast in Gao Liang. As long as he lives, he will tirelessly strive toward it. The conversation then shifts to the teaching performance award ceremony at Hanhai No.1 High School, where Liu Heigou is absolutely thrilled—truly ecstatic! How can one put it? His class has now produced two students who have been admitted to Kyoto University—an unprecedented achievement in the entire history of Hanhai No.1 High School. If a grand prize is awarded, at least a 100,000-yuan bonus is in the cards. Haha! He's finally making it rich! Liu He-gou has been going on and on these days, yet Zhou Chao has been giving him a cold, composed expression. Liu He-gou, acting like a humble dog, has been bowing and scraping, saying, "I don't want them to pass! It's just that something's off. If I had the pen of a judge, I'd definitely mark them all as failures!" Zhou Chao snorted coldly and replied, "Pah! You don't need to be so accommodating just to please me!" And then he walked off, leaving Liu He-gou once again feeling utterly unfulfilled. Moreover, although Zhou Chao says he doesn't welcome me, Zhou Chao still can't do without me, since his family is actively working to take control of the school and has appointed me as its primary responsible officer—clearly, my position within the school will continue to rise. Presenting awards! Presenting awards! This year's awards ceremony evaluates both teaching performance and students' opinions and attitudes. The host, in a resonant voice, said: "The outstanding teaching achievements of Hanhai No.1 Middle School this year are directly attributable to the diligent efforts of our teachers. Now, I invite everyone to vote for the most outstanding teacher!" Fang Bin is the principal, yet he is highly dedicated—despite attending an external school visit to learn from other institutions' teaching practices, he has never stepped away from frontline teaching, continuously delivering remote lessons to students at our school, including Gao Liang and Zhang Yупing. During the final two weeks, Gao Liang and Zhang YuPing kept receiving emails from Fang Bin, the president, in their QQ email accounts—such precious teaching materials! Gao Liang and Zhang YuPing carefully studied and absorbed them, so their outstanding performance this time was undoubtedly greatly due to Fang Bin's efforts. Yet, Liu Heigou wanted to claim all the credit for himself.
