Soon, Zhou Hong finished breakfast.
"Zhou Hong, we're going to the Huo and Changsun families then. You just wait at home for good news," Qiao Zhenhua said to Zhou Hong.
"Oh, okay!" Zhou Hong nodded helplessly.
Afterward, Zhou Hong stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. Qiao Zhenhua and several elders of the family went to the Huo and Changsun families separately and had Huo Ling'er and Changsun Ruoyan sign the betrothal contracts.
Just like that, Zhou Hong had three fiancées.
That evening, on the Kyoto Martial Cultivation Channel, someone who had gotten wind of the news broadcasted the fact that Zhou Hong had three beautiful fiancées.
As a result, countless viewers in front of their televisions had their eyes red with envy.
Especially seeing the portraits of the three peerless beauties on television, countless young men roared with jealousy.
At this moment, in the Dongguo family, Dongguo Yinhui, who was lying in the living room recovering from his injuries while watching television, suddenly sat up when he saw the news about Zhou Hong having three fiancées. He didn't even notice that the tube he had just connected had cracked.
"No...!" Dongguo Yinhui roared in pain. Three such beautiful women were all Zhou Hong's fiancées. Any man would find such a blow unbearable, let alone him.
Scenes like this were innumerable in various families in Kyoto. They cursed angrily in front of the television, saying that three good cabbages had been trampled by pigs.
Among them, the fiercest curser was Feng Wuyu, the number one genius on the Earth Ranking.
He was already very unhappy when Huo Ling'er was given to Zhou Hong. But he never expected that the Huo family would directly betroth Huo Ling'er to Zhou Hong, and even more unexpectedly, the Changsun family would give one for free with another.
Intense jealousy drove Feng Wuyu to the brink of collapse. He felt that as the number one genius on the Earth Ranking, he hadn't even had the chance to sleep with such beautiful women, yet Zhou Hong, a nobody ranked over thirty on the Earth Ranking, could have three beautiful fiancées.
Therefore, Feng Wuyu spent the entire night in the major exchange groups of the Martial Cultivation Academy, hurling insults at Zhou Hong, calling him a "small toothpick" and saying he only lasted three seconds.
Meanwhile, Zhou Hong was sitting in his yard stargazing, completely unaware of how many people in Kyoto were cursing him behind his back.
"Ring ring ring...!" Just then, Zhou Hong's phone rang.
He took it out and saw it was Liu Hua calling.
"Hello, Liu Hua, long time no see. I'm really happy to receive your call," Zhou Hong said excitedly.
"Yes, Zhou Hong, in the blink of an eye, you've been away from Jinzhou City for two and a half months."
"Mm, time flies. How are things in Jinzhou City now?"
"Not bad. My martial cultivation has improved a lot. I've already broken through to Martial Practitioner Level 53. In Jinzhou City, I'm considered quite a notable figure." Liu Hua chuckled, seemingly very happy. In a place like Jinzhou City, having the strength of Martial Practitioner Level 53 was indeed quite a notable achievement.
"Wow, congratulations! You must not be short of women now, right?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile. Liu Hua used to be a loser who couldn't find a girlfriend.
"Hahaha, at my age, to reach Martial Practitioner Level 53, I'm very famous in Jinzhou City now. Many wealthy and influential families want to form alliances with me!" Liu Hua said, laughing heartily.
Zhou Hong could feel that Liu Hua must be in a great mood.
"Then I truly must congratulate you. By the way, how is Qin Mengxue doing?" Zhou Hong asked again.
"I'm not entirely sure. She's been quite listless these past two months. I've tried to ask her out to practice martial arts several times, but she refused. Why don't you give her a call? Otherwise, if she continues to let herself go like this, she'll be ruined."
"This...!" Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to call Qin Mengxue.
"Fine, I'll call her later." After hesitating, Zhou Hong decided to make the call. He considered Qin Mengxue a friend.
Zhou Hong chatted with Liu Hua for another hour, giving him some guidance over the phone, before Zhou Hong finally hung up.
After hanging up, Zhou Hong dialed Qin Mengxue's number.
"Hello! Zhou Hong." A few seconds later, Qin Mengxue answered, her voice seemingly very excited.
"Qin Mengxue, how are you doing? Liu Hua told me you've been very down these past few months," Zhou Hong asked calmly.
"I... I!" Qin Mengxue wanted to say something but didn't.
"Just say what you want to say directly."
"I'm also in Kyoto." Qin Mengxue hesitated before saying it.
"Uh!" Zhou Hong was slightly taken aback. Qin Mengxue was also in Kyoto.
"When did you come to Kyoto? What are you here for?" Zhou Hong quickly asked.
"I've been here for several days. I don't even know why I'm here. I've been very depressed these past few months. My best friend Xiaoyu left, and then you... you also left. So, I couldn't help but come to Kyoto." Qin Mengxue's voice was very low, making one feel a pang of sympathy.
Zhou Hong seemed to guess why Qin Mengxue had come to Kyoto. She was probably lovesick, and the object of her affection was undoubtedly Zhou Hong.
"Sigh!" Zhou Hong sighed, feeling quite helpless about his ex-wife.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you." Hearing Zhou Hong's sigh, Qin Mengxue thought he was annoyed with her and quickly apologized.
"Where are you in Kyoto right now?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Tianlong Hotel."
"Since you've come to Kyoto, as the host, I should at least meet you. Come out then, and we'll find a place to have a drink."
"Ah?" Qin Mengxue was somewhat incredulous. She hadn't dared to hope to see Zhou Hong again. She had only come to Kyoto because she wanted... to be closer to him, at least to see more information about him. She had never thought she would meet Zhou Hong again. She never imagined that Zhou Hong would actually take the initiative to meet her. Su Dan Novel Network
"Hurry up, send me your location."
"Okay, okay!"
Qin Mengxue immediately sent the hotel's location to Zhou Hong via WeChat.
Zhou Hong grabbed a car key and prepared to drive out.
"Zhou Hong, where are you going so late?" Liang Hongqin asked curiously when she saw Zhou Hong about to drive out. It was already midnight.
"A friend from Jinzhou City has come to Kyoto, I'm going to meet her."
"Then you must be careful! What if the Dongguo family...!"
"Don't worry!" Zhou Hong got into a sports car and roared away.
Soon, Zhou Hong arrived at the large hotel where Qin Mengxue was staying.
Qin Mengxue was already waiting at the hotel's entrance.
"Get in."
Qin Mengxue got into the passenger seat. Zhou Hong glanced at her. Compared to the last time he saw her over two months ago, she had indeed lost a lot of weight.
"You've lost weight," Zhou Hong said.
"Really? Have I become ugly?" Qin Mengxue asked with some concern, seemingly afraid that she had become ugly.
"Of course not, you've just lost weight."
Qin Mengxue felt relieved.
"Where are you taking me for a drink?" Qin Mengxue asked after driving for a while.
Zhou Hong was not very familiar with Kyoto either, so he didn't know where to go for a moment.
"There's a park up ahead. Let's go sit there. I happen to have a case of wine in the trunk. We can chat while we drink."
"Okay, okay."
Soon, Zhou Hong arrived at the park ahead.
However, the park was extremely quiet, clearly empty.
Zhou Hong and Qin Mengxue each took a bottle of wine and sat on a large rock in the park.
