"Haha, finally got my first big win."
Looking at the bewildered Liu Tongtong beneath him, Zeng Shen felt elated. He helped her up and said, "Come on, your turn. Try to throw me over your shoulder."
"Wait, you were too fast."
"Let me break down the movements for you. Watch closely. First, grab the shoulder, and then the other hand..."
"Oh, that's how it's done. Let me try."
Following Zeng Shen's guidance, Liu Tongtong attempted a shoulder throw, but it was poorly executed. Instead of pinning him down, she ended up pressing her soft body tightly against his head.
Feeling the soft pressure on his face, Zeng Shen gently pushed Liu Tongtong away and stood up naturally, nodding. "Yes, that's it. But your speed needs work; otherwise, you'll end up like just now."
"Let me try again," Liu Tongtong said, blushing.
"Sure, practice makes perfect."
A few minutes later.
"I'm too hot; I'm done for now. I'm going to take a shower," Liu Tongtong said, heading to the bathroom and closing the door with a click.
[Host demonstrates unparalleled might, causing the Tier 4 Ghost Clan Leader to retreat three steps, survival points +1000]
"Retreat three steps? That counts as a first defeat entry, right?"
Zeng Shen muttered, plopping onto the sofa.
"Hubby, are you staying over tonight?"
Seeing Zeng Shen sitting down, Li Yuqing climbed onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, sitting face-to-face in his lap. Her slender waist twisted slightly, hinting at an impending storm.
Zeng Shen felt a bit drained lately, saying, "I left the camera at home. Those videos..."
"No rush, we can do it tomorrow."
"Then..."
"What? Afraid, hubby?"
Provoked by Li Yuqing, Zeng Shen got angry.
"Afraid? Your man is the future strongest deity; why would I be scared? Come here, fairy."
With a roar, Zeng Shen hoisted her over his shoulder and headed to the bedroom. Meanwhile, Liu Tongtong in the bathroom knew exactly what was happening.
Half an hour later.
A notification sounded in Zeng Shen's ear.
[Host fought a desperate battle, suppressing a Tier 3 Undead Deity, survival points +100.]
The next morning at five.
The same notification sounded again.
Shortly thereafter, the door opened. Zeng Shen, seeing Li Yuqing sleeping contentedly, quietly held onto the wall, making his way to the bathroom, muttering, "This girl, only sleeping three hours a night, how is she so energetic?"
Liu Tongtong, awakened early by the noise, opened her door to get a drink and smiled seeing Zeng Shen supporting himself against the wall toward the bathroom.
"The so-called future strongest deity still needs the wall for support."
She poured a glass of water and sat at the office desk, opening the computer, not sure what she had in mind, eventually searching for videos on shoulder throw techniques.
When Zeng Shen exited the bathroom, he saw Liu Tongtong at the computer and greeted her.
"Up so early?"
"How could I not be? You guys woke me up early with all the noise," Liu Tongtong said bluntly.
Zeng Shen smiled awkwardly, glancing at the computer.
It was playing a video on countering shoulder throws.
He chuckled, "Morning is the best time to consolidate learning. Want to try countering my shoulder throw with what you learned?"
Liu Tongtong considered it and nodded.
They moved to the living room.
"Ready?" Zeng Shen asked.
"Yes."
Immediately, Zeng Shen swiftly executed a shoulder throw on Liu Tongtong.
A notification sounded, earning him 100 survival points.
"Why are you always so fast?"
Liu Tongtong complained.
"Okay, I'll go slower this time."
A few minutes later.
"I'm done for now, let's practice more tomorrow. I'm going to take a bath and catch some more sleep."
"Alright."
Zeng Shen nodded, watching Liu Tongtong head to the bathroom, until another notification sounded in his ear.
He smiled slightly, turned to Li Yuqing's room, told her he had to go out, and left.
He began his daily point collection.
First, he drove around nearby, then went to the park square to see Master Ma, earning another 1500 survival points by midday at the martial arts club.
Afterward, he drove around the city, stopping by Liu Miao's area in the west, earning another 200 survival points.
By 3 PM, he used a disguise mask to change his face and found Huang Ziliang and his gang collecting protection fees in an alley.
On the spot, he became a righteous hero, beating Huang Ziliang and his men, earning 580 survival points before leaving, satisfied.
...
Returning home, Zeng Shen didn't find Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti.
He entered the bedroom, glanced at the divine realm gate on the wall, intending to lie down and enter the realm to check on them.
However, he spotted a brand-new Huawei phone on the desk.
He had once considered buying this phone, a Chinese pride, but it was over 20,000 yuan, unaffordable at the time, so he settled for his current Xiaomi.
Zeng Shen picked up the phone, which immediately rang.
Answering it, Xiao Ai's voice sounded.
"Master, you're finally home."
"Did you buy this phone for me?" Zeng Shen asked.
"Yes, Master. We couldn't add you on WeChat as strangers, nor call you because of unknown caller restrictions. Not knowing when you'd return, we set up a camera at your door. Once you returned, I called this phone."
Zeng Shen remembered his WeChat settings allowed only him to add friends, and his phone had the highest stranger block setting.
Having left his number yesterday but forgetting about it, he felt awkward.
"Send me your numbers, and I'll add you later."
"Sure, Master. I've finished editing the video you wanted. Once you add me on WeChat, I can send it to you," Xiao Ai said.
"Okay, where are you now?"
"Master, Xiao Ti and I are near the City East Zoo. We're planning to buy some cheap abandoned warehouses today. After signing the contracts, we'll return to discuss our renovation plans."
"Alright, focus on that first."
Hanging up, Zeng Shen waited for Xiao Ai to send their numbers, then searched for their WeChat IDs on his Xiaomi.
Soon, he found their accounts.
Both had the names he'd given them, Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti, with their own photos as profile pictures.
He sent friend requests, which were accepted instantly.
Xiao Ai: "Master, I'll send the video now."
Xiao Ti: "Master."
Zeng Shen replied to Xiao Ai with a simple "Okay," and sent Xiao Ti a head-pat emoji.
The video arrived quickly.
Opening it, Zeng Shen couldn't help but be impressed.
Xiao Ai truly excelled in many professional skills as a life maid.
In the video, what was originally the park square transformed into a misty mountain temple.
Master Ma and the elderly ladies wore Taoist robes, their expressions rich with fear and tension as they looked up.
Above them, Li Yuqing chased Liu Tongtong through the air with full special effects, sword energy flying and pink petals scattering around.
"Anyone who didn't know might think this is a clip from a movie," Zeng Shen mused.
