Ningchun Road, Starbucks in Future Business Plaza.

Cheng Yuyao was waiting in a seat by the window. Opposite her was an empty seat, prepared for Qin Heng.

Today, she wore a white sleeveless shirt, her delicate shoulders slightly exposed, and her exquisite collarbones also visible. Her skin was so fair it almost reflected light, and her already delicate features, paired with light makeup, made her stunningly beautiful.

She had also slightly curled her hair; the strands by her temples gently coiled and rested on her soft blush, adding a touch more charm and attracting the gaze of nearly every man in the coffee shop.

"It's already been over half an hour!" Cheng Yuyao glanced at her Patek Philippe watch, worth over a million, on her wrist. Her brows furrowed as she said, "I even purposely came ten minutes late, yet he still hasn't arrived."

Cheng Yuyao was about to explode with anger.

A Goddess-level beauty like her was pursued by countless people wherever she went. Not to mention a blind date—shouldn't any normal man arrive early and wait?

However, she hadn't expected that the good-for-nothing playboy from Daqin Group, Qin Heng, would be over half an hour late and still not show up. This was truly outrageous!

"If! If I weren't trying to refine your Wealth Qi, I wouldn't be waiting for you!" Cheng Yuyao was genuinely furious, and she said to the figure of light in her mind, When he arrives, you must thoroughly refine that good-for-nothing's Wealth Qi and turn him into a pauper!

"Hehe, no problem. I'll make sure not a trace is left behind!" the figure of light chuckled coldly. "But that kid has no sense of time, being so late. He should be dealt with in other ways too!"

"Don't harm his life," Cheng Yuyao warned, though angry, she still retained some rationality.

"..." The figure of light fell silent for a moment, its feelings somewhat complex. It nodded and said, "Fine. Don't worry. I'm not the kind of evil spirit who only knows how to harm people."

Another half an hour passed.

Qin Heng still hadn't come.

Cheng Yuyao's face was turning pale with rage. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want him dead!"

The figure of light was overjoyed. "No problem! That kid definitely won't survive! He's doomed!"

"Actually, forget it. I don't want to kill anyone." Cheng Yuyao suddenly shook her head again, stood up, and said, "Let's go. This time, he's the one who didn't show up, not me. It'll be easier to explain to Dad when I get back."

"..." The figure of light fell silent, its heart bleeding. Such a great opportunity to strengthen myself, and it's gone just like that??

Damn it!

That brat Qin Heng, he deserves to die!!

「At a table not far away.」

Fang Aotian had also been waiting for Qin Heng to appear, all the while stealing glances at Cheng Yuyao's face. Looking at her stunning beauty, he felt completely intoxicated.

So beautiful! Yuyao, you truly are so beautiful! A breathtaking beauty like you, only I am worthy of possessing! That piece of trash Qin Heng, what is he?!

Damn it! How dare that good-for-nothing Qin Heng make Yuyao wait for him this long! He's courting death, courting death, courting death!! If he were here, I'd beat him to death!!

Rage filled Fang Aotian.

Although he desperately didn't want Qin Heng to meet Cheng Yuyao for the blind date, seeing Qin Heng stand her up now, making Cheng Yuyao wait in vain for over an hour, made him feel extremely furious!

Whenever Cheng Yuyao felt unhappy or upset, Fang Aotian would empathize completely, considering her feelings in every way.

Perhaps this was the mentality of a bootlicker.

And Cheng Yuyao, from beginning to end, never once glanced in Fang Aotian's direction.

She walked straight out of Starbucks.

"Damn it, damn it! Damn it!! That good-for-nothing actually dared to stand me up! How dare he blow me off like this!!" Cheng Yuyao gritted her teeth, walking with her head down. Suddenly, she felt herself bump into someone's chest and cried out reflexively, "AH!!"

She looked up slightly and realized she could only see the man's chest in front of her. Stunned, she exclaimed, "Oh my God, how tall is he!"

As a girl, Cheng Yuyao was 1.62 meters tall, not short, and wearing high heels today, she was close to 1.70 meters. She had never seen someone this tall before.

"Who are you?" Cheng Yuyao looked up at the man. Her eyes brightened, and she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, Wow! So handsome! And so tall! But... he looks somewhat familiar... Where have I seen him before?

Qin Heng looked down at Cheng Yuyao, took a small step back, glanced at her, and said, "Sorry, Cheng Yuyao. I didn't see you just now."

Originally, he had planned to go to Renmin University to find Xia Shuang. He happened to be passing through Ningchun Road when he unexpectedly encountered Cheng Yuyao, the daughter of the CEO of Heavenly God Group, with whom Liu Tong had arranged a blind date for him.

As for the blind date, he had never taken it seriously. To Qin Heng, the Mortal World was like a fleeting cloud; a mere Cheng Yuyao was not significant enough to warrant his attention.

However, Liu Tong had sent Qin Heng a photo of Cheng Yuyao yesterday, so he recognized her.

"You... you know me??" Cheng Yuyao was stunned when she heard Qin Heng speak. She looked incredulously at the tall, handsome young man and said, "You... I... you seem somewhat familiar. Are you perhaps a middle school classmate of mine?"

Cheng Yuyao had also seen a photo of Qin Heng.

But that was a photo from Qin Heng's sophomore year in high school. The current Qin Heng had changed significantly in both height and appearance since then, especially his temperament, which had undergone a fundamental transformation.

His facial features, however, were still fundamentally the same, with no major changes. They had merely been optimized during his Yuan Qi body tempering and complete metamorphosis, which is why Cheng Yuyao found him somewhat familiar.

Yet, she couldn't recognize him as Qin Heng, the man she was supposed to have a blind date with.

"Run! Run! Run now!!!"

Suddenly, Cheng Yuyao heard the figure of light in her mind cry out in alarm, as if *it* had seen a ghost. It started wailing, frantically urging Cheng Yuyao to flee.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yuyao was completely befuddled. She didn't understand why the figure of light, usually so calm and seemingly possessing such high standards, would suddenly become so agitated.

"Run! Run! You'll die! You'll die! This man is Qin Heng!! My God, I can't believe I was after the life of such a being! How can such an entity exist in this End of Dharma Age?! Little girl! Run! Run!!"

The figure of light urged her on as if it had gone mad, like an animal that had seen its natural predator, utterly terror-stricken. If it weren't residing in Cheng Yuyao's mind, it would have fled on its own long ago.

"Qin Heng!!?" After hearing what the figure of light said, Cheng Yuyao was utterly shocked. She looked incredulously at the tall, handsome young man before her. Her face flushed crimson instantly as she stammered, "You... you... you're Qin Heng!?"

This is completely different from what I imagined! How can he be so handsome, so tall?! My God! I don't want his Wealth Qi anymore! I want to be with him!

It had to be said, Qin Heng's charm was truly astonishing; he captured the heart of Cheng Yuyao, a rich beauty focused on looks, almost in an instant.

「But, at the same moment—」

Why?! Why?! How can such an entity still exist in this era?! The resurgence of Spiritual Energy hasn't even begun yet! How is this possible?!

The figure of light in Cheng Yuyao's mind, however, was scared out of its wits. It felt Qin Heng's gaze pierce through Cheng Yuyao, looking right at *it*, spotting *it*!

"Qin Heng! So you're that good-for-nothing playboy!!!"

At that moment, a voice filled with rage erupted like thunder, sending the surrounding air churning. An invisible aura spread out, causing nearby pedestrians to involuntarily take a few steps back and turn their gaze toward the source.

Fang Aotian slowly walked over, his fists clenched tightly, his face contorted with hatred, his nails almost digging into his flesh. He looked as if he wanted to tear Qin Heng limb from limb. He glared fixedly at Qin Heng, gritting his teeth as he said,

"Good-for-nothing! Get out of here! Get lost, now! If you know what's good for you, leave Yuyao's side immediately! Otherwise, I'll beat you into a real cripple today! Scram, you good-for-nothing!!"
