one must either fight the creatures of the otherworld or eat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at their residence, a small garden named Shen Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Yuan got out of the car, he silently collected all the hair he had shed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a world of the extraordinary, having hair scattered about is a very dangerous thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the methods Qin Yuan has mastered for cursing someone using their hair number no fewer than ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, there is still one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Qin Yuan retrieved a single strand of hair that had fallen in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been losing quite a bit of hair lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuan’s subtle movements escaped the notice of the inattentive Shen Yaoqiao, but did not escape the observant Shen Zhilu, who nodded slightly in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhilu parked the car, gave a few brief instructions, and then left empty-handed for the heavily guarded spatial rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike ordinary cultivators, Shen Zhilu himself is the best weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of Shen Yaoqiao, Qin Yuan entered the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was empty inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Godmother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuan had another godmother named Huang Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory, Huang Ying doted on her daughter to an extreme degree; she was literally afraid she would break if held in her hands, or melt if kept in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Ying bears the primary responsibility for Shen Yaoqiao’s lack of ambition, spoiled nature, bad temper, and laziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom has class this morning,\" Shen Yaoqiao said, her pretty face stern as she brought over a plate of tomatoes sprinkled with white sugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try the tomatoes;
