I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds-Chapter 72 - 71: The Unwed Fiancé

At the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.

A figure slowly stepped out of a flying car.

The man had a hook nose, a tall and straight posture, white roots in his hair, and a stern face.

It was none other than the chairman of Tianhe Group, Shen Tianhe.

Wang Xiao’s eyes flashed as he walked up to greet him. "President Shen, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Before, Shen Tianhe had agreed to partner with him, investing in and promoting his Martial Arts Hall. He had even drafted a contract with favorable terms, showing considerable sincerity.

Wang Xiao was indeed short on cash right now. Relying solely on missions for income was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.

After all, as his Life Tier increased,

the resources he required would grow exponentially.

All of this would consume vast amounts of money.

If he could make a name for his Martial Arts Hall and attract a steady stream of students, he would secure a stable source of income.

He wouldn’t have to exhaust himself doing missions for money anymore.

On Earth, most beings who rose above Tier Six Life had families or corporations piling up resources for them beforehand.

Before reaching Tier Six Life, the fastest way to advance was, without a doubt, to pour money into it!

The alternative was to venture into dangerous zones in search of opportunities.

Take his current situation, for example. To quickly reach the Tier Five Life Ninth Layer Spiritual Domain,

the resources needed to strengthen his Spirit would cost at least ten billion to start.

Shen Tianhe smiled. "Haha, I had some free time, so I thought I’d pay Brother Wang a visit. Speaking of which, have you given any more thought to our partnership, Brother Wang?"

Wang Xiao replied, "I have no problem with the partnership itself, but some of the details and terms will need to be revised."

This Shen Tianhe had built his empire from scratch, turning Tianhe Group into Dachang City’s largest construction group and a benchmark enterprise with a market value of over thirty billion.

His abilities were beyond question.

Entrusting the promotion and expansion of the World Martial Arts Hall to him would likely lead to good results.

However, now that he was a Tier Four Life, he naturally had to ask for more benefits.

Shen Tianhe’s eyebrow twitched slightly. "Brother Wang, I’ve already made significant concessions with the current terms. Asking for more would be a bit unreasonable."

The reason he was so invested in the Martial Arts Hall was, of course, to use this opportunity to become a Tier Five Citizen.

That was why in his partnership contract with Wang Xiao, he had even set the profit split at eighty-twenty, which was basically not making any money at all.

Now Wang Xiao was still trying to press for more, which left him somewhat displeased.

’I’m the one spending the money, time, and effort to promote and expand the Martial Arts Hall. I can’t just do it for free, can I?!’

In all his years navigating the business world, he, Shen Tianhe, had never made a losing deal.

Wang Xiao smiled, in no particular hurry:

"President Shen, I’ve accepted a mission and have to catch a plane. I can give you three days to think it over and see if there are any other changes to be made to the contract. Trust me, you won’t be getting the short end of the stick."

He knew that Shen Tianhe was definitely unaware of his promotion to Tier Four Life.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this attitude.

After all, it had only been a little over a month, so Shen Tianhe wouldn’t have thought to check his personal information again.

Besides, given his extraordinary promotion speed,

it was highly likely that the Life Evolution Institute had sealed his information for confidentiality. Prying into it would probably take some effort.

Although Shen Tianhe was inwardly displeased with Wang Xiao’s attitude, he patiently said,

"Alright, Brother Wang. If you’re heading to the airport, I can give you a ride."

Wang Xiao nodded. "Then I’ll trouble you, President Shen."

「On the way.」

Shen Tianhe didn’t bring up the partnership again.

He just chatted with Wang Xiao about his plans to build a commercial center,

saying things about turning the World Martial Arts Hall into a Martial Arts Sacred Land for the whole world.

Wang Xiao remained impassive, listening and occasionally offering a brief response.

「Ten minutes later.」

The flying car landed on the airport’s parking apron.

Shen Tianhe escorted Wang Xiao into the departure lounge and said,

"Brother Wang, have a safe trip. We’ll talk more about the partnership after you finish your mission."

"Alright. Goodbye, President Shen." Wang Xiao nodded slightly.

He went to the boarding gate, showed his ID, and walked through the VIP lane, boarding the plane smoothly.

「Two hours later.」

Wang Xiao finally arrived in Da Guang City. There were still seven or eight hours before the scheduled meeting time.

’As a strategic location within a war zone, Da Guang City is much more developed than Dachang City.’

Wang Xiao bought some snacks and strolled down the street.

These past few days, he had been so busy with his Cultivation that he hadn’t had any time to properly relax.

He could take this opportunity, on the eve of his mission, to enjoy some leisure time.

’The hustle and bustle of everyday life is the most comforting thing.’

Wang Xiao watched the plumes of smoke rising from the street stalls, sighing inwardly.

He knew that the peaceful life they currently enjoyed had been bought with countless human lives, with wave after wave of people throwing themselves onto the battlefield.

Unfortunately, even after all this time, humanity was still powerless to completely solve the problem of Mutant Beast invasions.

Although a human who cultivated to Tier Six Life was equivalent to a walking nuclear bomb and known as ’Heaven and Earth Level,’

those humans at Tier Six Life and above couldn’t directly intervene.

Because just as humans had High Tier Life, so did the Mutant Beasts.

If they were to truly fight without holding back, the entire Earth would be destroyed in an instant.

Therefore, humans and Mutant Beasts had long ago reached an agreement: those who reached or surpassed Tier Six Life would generally no longer enter the battlefield.

Of course, maintaining the various war zones had its benefits.

Mutant Beasts invaded and devoured humans, and humans could hunt Mutant Beasts to obtain materials.

The two sides were temporarily in a state of balance.

「Around four in the afternoon.」

Wang Xiao received a message from Qin Mengyun.

"Master, have you arrived?"

Wang Xiao replied, "I’m here."

Qin Mengyun said, "We still have two hours before the meeting time. I’m at a club next to Heaven on Earth. It has a professional fighting arena that can withstand attacks from anyone below a Tier Five Life. Do you want to come over? I happen to have some questions about Martial Arts I’d like to ask you."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

Since Wang Xiao had nothing else to do, he hailed a car and headed to the address Qin Mengyun had sent him.

「Half an hour later.」

Wang Xiao met Qin Mengyun at the club.

Qin Mengyun looked as valiant and heroic as ever, dressed in a form-fitting T-shirt and long pants. Her long, straight legs were particularly eye-catching.

At that moment, standing beside Qin Mengyun was a woman who looked to be in her twenties.

The woman had long, black hair and was just as beautiful as Qin Mengyun, but with a hint of seductive charm.

She wore a Pokémon Jigglypuff crop top, her ample chest stretching the Jigglypuff graphic taut.

Qin Mengyun walked forward, greeted Wang Xiao, and then made an introduction.

"Master, this is my friend, Liu Dongdong. Her group ID is ’Snow White’s Stepmother’."

Liu Dongdong’s face darkened.

"Don’t announce my ID. It’s embarrassing to say it out loud."

Qin Mengyun said coolly, "You were willing to choose that ID, but now you’re embarrassed by it?"

Liu Dongdong shot Qin Mengyun a look. "Well, your old ID was ’Snow White’. You only changed it after you saw I took this one."

"..." Wang Xiao stood to the side, minding his own business.

"That was years ago," Qin Mengyun said, not continuing the argument with Liu Dongdong. She turned to Wang Xiao. "Master, I’ve already booked a spot. Let’s go."

"Alright." Wang Xiao nodded.

Just as he and Qin Mengyun were about to enter the fighting arena,

Liu Dongdong’s expression suddenly tensed. She nudged Qin Mengyun with her elbow and whispered,

"Mengyun, it’s Gu Xuan. Your fiancé."
