The Taoist was taken aback by Wu Tian's straightforwardness.
However, he quickly realized that he had played his cards right this time and escaped a disaster.
With the good stuff in hand, Wu Tian no longer had any interest in the Taoist.
Since Li Lanfang should be fine now and this fellow would definitely not dare to cause trouble again, there was no point in him staying.
Without another word, he left the dilapidated temple and drove to Zhou Qian's house.
Upon entering, he saw Zhou Qian's family already seated in the living room, and Li Lanfang had indeed woken up.
"I'm back," he announced as he entered.
Seeing Wu Tian return, everyone from the Shen family immediately stood up.
Zhou Qian, her face full of worry, rushed to Wu Tian and kept looking him over. "Wu Tian, how are you? Are you alright?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could anything happen to me?"
"Everything has been resolved. You don't need to worry anymore."
As he spoke, Wu Tian looked at Li Lanfang again. "Auntie, how are you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Li Lanfang shook her head. "I'm fine now, Wu Tian. I've already heard about what happened."
"I truly never imagined that Liu Guixiang would do such a thing."
"Thank you so much this time. Without you, I might have been gone!"
Wu Tian smiled. "Isn't this what I should do? As long as everyone is fine now, this is the best outcome. Don't dwell on this matter anymore."
Zhou Huaxu clasped Wu Tian's hand, his face filled with shame. "Wu Tian, to be honest, I didn't like you much when I first met you, but the facts have proven me wrong."
"It's truly our family's fortune that Zhou Qian has a boyfriend like you!"
"I must apologize for my previous behavior. I'm truly sorry!"
Wu Tian smiled. "Uncle, what are you saying? If you keep apologizing to me, I really can't bear it!"
"Let's all sit down quickly. Don't stand anymore."
Everyone sat back on the sofa, listening as Wu Tian briefly recounted the events.
After listening, Zhou Huaxu exclaimed in amazement, "I never would have thought that Maoshan Taoist arts actually exist in this world. I always thought it was fake!"
"But you, Wu Tian, are truly remarkable, to be able to solve such a difficult problem!"
"What exactly do you study? Why do you possess such incredible abilities at such a young age?"
Wu Tian smiled. "Oh, I just read a lot in my spare time and like to fiddle around. It's nothing."
Zhou Huaxu naturally didn't believe Wu Tian's words.
However, he didn't ask any further questions. After all, he knew Wu Tian was a good person, and that was enough.
Zhou Huaxu thought to himself that such an outstanding talent must not be let go.
So, he quickly asked Wu Tian again, "By the way, Wu Tian, there's something I want to ask you."
"You and our Qianqian, when are you planning to get married?"
This question stunned both Wu Tian and Zhou Qian.
Wu Tian immediately became a bit nervous and stammered, "No, Uncle, why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
Zhou Huaxu smiled. "Of course I'm concerned. This is our daughter's lifelong event!"
"I like you very much, so why don't you pick a date and get married soon? There's no need to keep dating!"
Wu Tian was dumbfounded. Wait, how did this conversation turn into this? This really shouldn't have happened!
Just as he was in an awkward situation, not knowing how to answer, Zhou Qian suddenly chuckled.
She said, "Oh, Dad, why are you asking about this?"
"Marriage is something between the two of us. How can you be so impatient? Let us take our time."
Zhou Huaxu was about to say something more, but Zhou Qian took the lead and pulled Wu Tian into the room, thus helping Wu Tian escape this ordeal.
Wu Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "My heavens, I was really scared just now."
"Why does your dad keep thinking about us getting married? I really didn't know how to answer just now."
After speaking, Wu Tian noticed Zhou Qian wasn't responding. He saw the look of dejection on her face and his heart trembled slightly, realizing he had said the wrong thing.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke. Just pretend you didn't hear anything."
He expected Zhou Qian to be angry, but to his surprise, she just shook her head. "It's nothing. You don't need to worry about it."
"I know you're not thinking about that kind of thing for now, and I won't rush you."
"I said I would wait for you, and I will definitely wait for you, so please rest assured."
Zhou Qian's words made Wu Tian feel uneasy.
But he didn't know what to say, so in the end, he could only say, "Thank you."
Zhou Qian shook her head and smiled. "You don't need to thank me. No matter what, I should be thanking you, because you saved my mother."
"Tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
Wu Tian casually said, "No, why are you being so polite? How can I let you thank me? It's not appropriate, not appropriate."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qian leaned closer to him and said, "What if I insist on thanking you?"
Wu Tian was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Zhou Qian smiled slyly. "What else could it mean? Can I offer myself to you?"
Before Wu Tian could reply, Zhou Qian's delicate fingers were already placed on his chest.
Soon, Wu Tian was pushed onto the Simmons by Zhou Qian.
Wu Tian said somewhat awkwardly, "What are you doing? This is your house, and your parents are still awake!"
Zhou Qian revealed a seductive smile. "It's okay, my room has good soundproofing. Just go ahead."
As soon as she spoke, Zhou Qian kissed Wu Tian's lips, and then there was a tumultuous commotion.
The next day, Wu Tian woke up around noon.
After having a meal at Zhou Qian's house, he had no other pressing matters, so he drove back home.
He was somewhat impatient because he had obtained the Ling Neng Grass and was eager to test its effects.
After returning to his room and locking the door, to avoid being disturbed, he even turned off his phone.
Taking out the Ling Neng Grass and looking at the slightly glowing treasure, Wu Tian didn't hesitate. He swallowed it directly, then sat on the bed and entered a state of cultivation.
Within seconds, a very hot sensation began to emanate from his stomach and spread throughout his entire body.
He could clearly feel the spiritual energy within him surging wildly.
For a moment, even his skin turned red.
As time passed, the hot sensation intensified, and Wu Tian felt as if his body was about to explode.
