Yet Xiao Mei behaved like a passionate sheep, insistently showering high-light with special attention, which made High-Light deeply uneasy. He didn't lack desire for women—he had a large harem of his own—but it wasn't the right time. Even after sharing a home with Zhang Yurong, or sleeping together on the same bed, there had been no substantial physical intimacy, only gentle kisses. With Xiao Mei, once she truly fell in love with him, her devotion surpassed that of the others. High-Light knew that if this continued, his energy would eventually be overwhelmed and he would surely be driven to his limits. "I can't hesitate anymore—I wish to become a god! My dream is to freely command the Ever-Bright Box, to freely traverse time and space, to become a cosmic superhero, and ultimately, a true Divine Sovereign of the universe—not merely..." This time, High-Light fully understood how crucial it was to cultivate his mental strength. When he first received guidance from Ying'er, even a beauty like Pan Jinlian had been immune. Xiao Mei, though exceptionally beautiful, could be temporarily set aside. "Snap!" A sharp slap landed squarely on Xiao Mei's delicate face. With her small hands pressed to her face, she stared in disbelief at this man—someone who had always been gentle and kind to her. Yet now, he delivered a firm, painful blow, and something slid down her cheek. She gasped, "Blood! You actually hit me! You've even made me bleed!" In truth, Highlight's heart ached more than hers. "Kiss me! This is an order! Otherwise, there will be no mercy!" The commanding tone of Highlight's voice reached Xiao Mei, who knew he could follow through on his words—evidenced by the way he had just effortlessly and decisively killed Gao Jianchou, leaving everyone in awe. Xiao Mei didn't want to die. Her parents were still alive, and her younger brother was preparing for the college entrance exams. The family's financial burden was heavy, and she still needed to send money back home. As Highlight's personal physician, she had to comply with his absolute directives. Thinking this, Xiao Mei began to gently kiss Gaoliang, kissing him from head to toe, completely bare before him. Especially the prominent member beneath him, proudly erect, Xiao Mei kissed it with her delicate lips, tears streaming down as she did so. Meanwhile, Gaoliang seized the opportunity and began to release the energy building up within him. Gaoliang's consistent practice of absorbing and transforming energy was far from wasted—he could convert the energy he needed to release into a special form before releasing it. Xiao Mei's gentle kisses to the energy Gaoliang emitted greatly helped balance his internal energy flow. Without someone nearby to absorb it, Gaoliang would have to release it forcefully, which would be extremely dangerous; only a soft, controlled release would be safe. After nearly half an hour of release and proper absorption, Gao Liang had overcome his critical phase. With increasing energy under his own control, the energy that could no longer be managed was gradually eliminated, and the controlled energy now dominated. The latent energy dragon orb deep within him was once again fully under his command. As a result, Gao Liang instantly felt revitalized and radiant. His muscles had grown stronger, his physique more balanced—reaching a standard height and weight. His eyes were bright, and his entire body radiated strength. Xiao Mei, in turn, absorbed the beneficial energy released from Gao Liang and had also become more beautiful. Unfortunately, Xiao Mei didn't notice it at the time. Highlight, however, was particularly energetic then and naturally had the needs of a regular man—no longer willing to suppress himself. So he grabbed Xiao Mei's hand firmly and held her close, as if afraid she'd fly away, and began passionately kissing her lips. But Xiao Mei gently blocked him, feeling humiliated, and said, "You're mistaken. I'm not something you simply want to possess!" "Huh! This young lady is holding her ground—being favored by her husband is indeed a blessing! Though, I never like to impose on others unless absolutely necessary!" Highlight was relieved and said nothing, simply leaving the luxurious presidential suite. Ten minutes later, Xiao Mei received the message: "The Hall Master has left. This is your reward. However, the Hall Master no longer requires the nursing doctor. You may proceed as you see fit." With trembling hands, Xiao Mei accepted the 100,000 yuan. Behind the money, there was a note: "Xiao Mei! I'm leaving! Take good care of yourself!" Xiao Mei cried and went alone from Hanhai City to Jingdezhen City, with no one to accompany her—only loneliness and solitude. She truly regretted her decision, yet everything had already turned out too late. Gao Liang, this outstanding man, no longer needed her. What could she do now? After returning to Jingdezhen City, she didn’t go back to work at Mengzhu Hotel. She was too afraid to face the people around Gao Liang, including General Manager Chen Yuting. Back home, back to her own home, Xiao Mei settled in. Her parents asked her what had happened. After stammering for a while, she finally lied that her company had been performing poorly and had to cut staff, thus laying her off. Only then did her parents believe her. They sighed and said, "Your younger brother will take the national exam tomorrow and needs several hundred yuan. Oh, what a hardship for our family!" Little Mei had saved 100,000 yuan, originally intending to give it all to her parents. However, she was afraid they would question the source of the funds—especially since her parents strongly disapprove of money earned in ways that aren’t clean or straightforward, which they consider "unworthy" or "improperly earned." They would absolutely refuse to accept such funds. I'm so excited, yet, Gaoliang no longer needs me—had I the chance to start over with Gaoliang, I'd surely willingly let this man love and cherish me, giving him everything he wanted, whenever he desired. But here I am now... As I pondered and thought, Xiao Mei's QQ buzzed. I glanced—wow! A user named "The Supreme Man" was messaging me! I didn't know this person at all. Xiao Mei simply felt curious and began chatting with "Ice Butterfly, Purple Love" and "The Supreme Man." Ice Butterfly, Purple Love: I'm heartbroken—I'm going through a breakup! He's no longer interested in me! Sent a sad QQ emoticon. The Supreme Man: Heh! A breakup, huh! Here's a way to help you move on! Ice Butterfly, Purple Love: Go on! What is it? The Supreme Man: Let go of the past, focus on the present, and start a brand-new life. Ice Butterfly Zilian: Yet I can't forget him. He truly treated me well, but while being with him, I never truly appreciated him. These days, he fills my mind completely!
