To my surprise, just as I landed, I happened to witness you being knocked to the ground by someone from inside the room. I happened to be there, so I caught you. At the same time, I recognized you as my little sweetheart. Thus it was. The little pepper finally confirmed her true lineage. At this moment, the Bull Demon King turned to the little pepper and said, "My dearest! I am your husband!" "Husband!" Moved to tears, the little pepper softly called out, "My lord, Mr. Bull Demon King!" The Bull Demon King embraced the Jade-Faced Fox and walked toward their former marital chamber. On the grand bed within the room, the Bull Demon King and his beloved Jade-Faced Fox performed a scene of "Plum Blossoms Pressing the Peonies." The bed remained still, yet the couple on it trembled continuously, their movements growing increasingly vigorous. Accompanied by soft gasps and deep murmurs, the two engaged in an act that left both of them utterly delighted. The scene then shifted to Gao Liang. Pan Jinlian has departed. Gao Liang immediately appointed Pan Jinlian as General Manager of the "I Want to Become a God" Construction Group, restoring her to her original position. Gao Liang was highly satisfied with the 188-level building budget that Pan Jinlian presented. This budget adhered to principles of thrift, efficiency, self-discipline, and practicality, making the $100 million injection from the "I Want to Become a God" Financial Group precisely targeted and effective. Each financial allocation was clearly documented with its source, firmly eliminating unnecessary or optional expenditures. Through streamlining operations, modern production technologies, and large-scale equipment, efficiency and productivity were significantly enhanced, while construction costs were also reduced. Surprisingly, the number of construction workers decreased. Instead, Gao Liang hired outstanding students and renowned architects from Kyoto University's Faculty of Architecture—highly qualified talent—ensuring both quality and output. As a result, the construction timeline was substantially shortened, completing the project 120 days ahead of similar projects, and exceeding the original targets. This is a later development. After fully entrusting the matter of his ambition to establish the God-of-the-World Construction Group to Pan Jinlian, Gao Liang returned home. Ying'er was now pregnant, her belly growing larger and larger, and Gao Liang's parents were overjoyed, exclaiming, "What a blessing! We'll finally have a grandson to hold!" Shen Hanfu was constantly chattering with excitement, personally preparing chicken soup and various ginseng soups and nourishing broths for Ying'er to drink. As a dutiful daughter-in-law, Ying'er often took the initiative to handle many household tasks herself; yet Gao Liang ensured her rest, urging her to avoid heavy work and frequently accompanying her to the seaside in Hanhai City for relaxation. One day, Gao Liang took Ying'er to the seaside. The sun was shining brightly, and the beach was adorned with colorful umbrellas, creating a beautiful scene. "Husband! Look! Look! That sea gull on the water—what a magnificent one!" Ying'er pointed to a sea gull spreading its wings and flying across the sea. Gao Liang turned to gaze, and gasped! Indeed, it was a very large sea gull—three times the size of a regular sea gull, almost resembling a hawk. Tourists were stopping to watch, all marveling. "A magnificent bird! Truly rare to behold!" someone exclaimed. "I've grown up by the seaside, and I've never seen a sea gull like this!" said a fisherman. "Wow! That sea gull has actually flown toward us!" another visitor gasped. "Not good!" High-light was startled. His gathering eyes revealed that this was no ordinary bird, but a divine one—a celestial bird with keen, hawk-like eyes that directly targeted him. "Ying! Move quickly! Move quickly!" "High-light cried out anxiously, but Ying'er was completely unprepared. It seemed the massive sea gull was flying toward her back—yet unexpectedly, the gull turned sharply, swooping down like a falcon, extending its talons to lift Ying'er right off the ground and carry her aloft. High-light rushed after it, but the gull spread its wings and soared into the distant sky. 'Wow!' the crowd gasped in amazement. 'Stellar bird! Stellar bird!' High-light was furious. He never thought that, having brought Ying'er to the seaside to enjoy the breeze and spend time with his celestial wife, to accompany her in sightseeing, collecting seashells, and simply enjoying the ocean, a giant sea gull would suddenly appear and seize her! No—Ying'er was in danger! High-light roared loudly, 'Fire Qilin! Fire Qilin!' He summoned his divine beast, and soon the Fire Qilin appeared. Sitting firmly on its back, High-light commanded, 'Hurry! Hurry!' The fire qilin could rise into the clouds, and as it lifted from the ground, a celestial aura spread across the sky, radiating a vibrant spectrum of colorful mist. Amidst this splendor, Gao Liang stood out with remarkable brilliance. With the crowd's admiration, Gao Liang had already leapt into the sky atop the Fire Qilin, rising higher and higher. Soon, he vanished from sight. At an altitude of ten thousand meters, a thrilling battle unfolded. Upon seeing Gao Liang arriving on the Fire Qilin, the sea gull instantly cried out sharply, transforming into a colossal roc—large enough to match a full-sized Boeing 747 passenger jet. It spread its wings wide and suddenly swooped down,扇ing a powerful gust directly at Gao Liang, who was seated on the Qilin. "Whoosh!" The force of the blow sent Gao Liang and the Qilin flying far away. The roc strained its wings, striving to soar into outer space. Gao Liang roared in fury, "I have become a god! My momentum is unstoppable! Those who stand in my way shall perish!" The power of his cry resonated with magical force, shaking the very heavens. Gao Liang had summoned all his energy, his inner water-fire Dragon Pearl, heaven-earth Dragon Pearl, energy Dragon Pearl, and the five elemental forces—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—now all blazing forth. He With the help of the Energy Dragon Ball, Gao Liang surged forward at a speed of 2048 to the Nth power, like a swift arrow slicing through space and time. A whoosh—firing directly at the colossal dragon sculpture. In outer space, Gao Liang and the dragon sculpture engaged in fierce combat. Though the dragon saw Gao Liang and still attempted to push him away with his powerful fan force, he made a mistake! Before the dragon could unleash his fan force again, Gao Liang moved faster—acting first, with a strong, decisive strike. "Yue Guang Treasure Box Equipment Library! I need Hou Yi's Divine Arrow!" Gao Liang drew his bow and launched the very divine arrow he once used to conquer Hou Yi, which crashed with a sharp crack, shooting straight toward the dragon sculpture. The dragon immediately dodged, but still wasn't fast enough—his wings were struck, causing him pain so severe he nearly lost his balance and teetered on falling from outer space. Injured and furious, the dragon used its sharp beak to peck at Gao Liang. Gao Liang moved with lightning speed, shifting swiftly with dragon-like steps, skillfully evading each pe Ying'er was firmly grasped by the giant roc's claws, and Gao Liang was deeply worried. At that moment, the roc, furious, transferred his anger onto Ying'er and fiercely pinched her with his claws. As Ying'er was pregnant, how could she endure such treatment? When Gao Liang saw the pain wracking her face, he stepped in and delivered a strong blow. "Cut the Heavens Sword!" Gao Liang, whose mind could command objects, had long cultivated a seamless harmony between himself and the Yue Guang treasure box—such that whenever he wished for something, the treasure box instantly provided the corresponding artifact or weapon. Soon, Gao Liang held the Cut the Heavens Sword, his face flushed with rage. Hoo-hoo-hoo! Shushushu! Six sharp sounds echoed through the air, accompanied by a gust of wind. The sword's aura shimmered like a rainbow. A cold, ethereal white light glowed in the sky. "Gah! Gah! Gah!" The roc cried out in agony—its claws were ruthlessly sliced by Gao Liang's sword, and both claws came off completely, falling to the ground. Ying'er was saved. As she fell, Gao Liang moved swiftly, extending both hands to catch her beloved, first-class immortals from the Heavenly Realm. Ying'er felt happy and safe, cradled in Gao Liang's arms. At that moment, the giant dragon crane erupted in fury, its wings wounded, its claws severed by Gao Liang, and it launched its final assault. The crane's beak, shaped like a hook, was exceptionally powerful—capable of piercing iron to three parts. Should it strike a person, the victim would surely perish.
