Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Ten years later, West Lake.
Just after the rain had cleared.
Meng Hao finished his cultivation for the day. After greeting a few of his old health-nut buddies, he jogged all the way back to his rented apartment.
On the way, he also picked up a few Babi Steamed Buns and a bottle of fresh milk.
After getting home, he heard his girlfriend Xiao Ai on the phone with her family.
“It’s not like you don’t know.”
“He’s like this every single day.”
“Out the door at six in the morning to practice, saying something about absorbing the first ray of morning’s purple qi.”
“I know things are different now than they were back in school.”
“But he’s been at it for so long. I can’t just ask him to give it up.”
“It’s actually not that bad. He only spends two hours in the morning and two at night practicing. Just think of it as exercise.”
“It’s not like he’s got no ambition.”
“What? You’re saying he turned down the Alibaba referral Dad struggled to get him?”
“Because he needs to practice and doesn’t have time for overtime?”
“Fine, I got it. I’ll go give him a piece of my mind right now!”
Xiao Ai hung up in a huff, then bounced off the bed with a smack.
Seeing that Meng Hao was already back, she immediately blew up.
“Meng, are you out of your mind?!”
“My dad finally got you a referral, and you just turned it down?!”
“Are you trying to piss me off to death?!”
Meng Hao knew he couldn’t hide it anymore. He gave a sheepish laugh. “Wife, don’t get angry yet. I bought your favorite Babi Steamed Buns.”
“You’re the one who likes Babi Steamed Buns.”
“Your whole family likes Babi Steamed Buns!”
“Meng Hao, do you think I’m only fit to eat Babi Steamed Buns for the rest of my life?!”
Xiao Ai was so angry that tears came out.
Back in university.
Meng Hao would practice on the field every morning and evening.
Back then, she only felt that Meng Hao was so disciplined, so different from everyone else.
And naturally, she had an eye for true quality.
Even after graduation, when he started working.
Meng Hao still wasted huge amounts of time on practice.
But she still said nothing.
After all, sticking with something consistently was no easy feat.
But now.
Meng Hao had actually turned down a better job her family had introduced, all for the sake of that stupid practice of his.
This was more than Xiao Ai could tolerate.
“What use is that stupid practice of yours, going round and round?”
“Can it fill your stomach? Can it make money? Can it buy a house?”
