That young man seemed to be quite famous in Fog City.
After he was thrown out of the Lunar Rainbow Inn, he quickly attracted the pa.s.sersby’s attention.
“Isn’t that Zhao Hao? He came to the Lunar Rainbow Inn again. Does he want to drink wine for free again?”
“Who else is there beside him? Sigh... He was also a high-spirited and talented young man in the past, it’s such a pity.”
“It can’t be helped. The road of cultivation is like this. Even a previous genius could turn useless. He should blame his unluckiness.”
“The current Zhao Hao looks too tragic! Is he really the Sky-Incinerating Marquis’ son and the prospective emperor’s son-in-law?”
“Don’t mention it anymore. If Sky-Incinerating Marquis had not gone missing in the Primordial Battlefield, Zhao Hao might not have suffered a Qi Deviation, resulting in him losing his cultivation.”
“There’s no if in the world! The fact is that he’s a useless man now. Even his marriage was broken off.”
“I heard that the Zhao Family’s properties were taken away by the other relatives in the clan, not even leaving a bit for him.”
“Haha, He must have done evil things when his Zhao Family was still glorious, then he faced his retribution!”
...
Pa.s.sersby were always indifferent and apathetic, and they talked about others’ joys and sorrows as a form of amus.e.m.e.nt during or after meals.
Those pa.s.sersby at the side of the road were currently pointing and discussing about the drunk Zhao Hao, but no one offered to help him.
Shen Tian sighed and walked toward Zhao Hao slowly. He stretched out his hand to help him up. “Brother, don’t lie on the ground.”
Zhao Hao opened his drowsy and drunkard eyes to look at Shen Tian. “Hey, such-such a pretty gal.”
Shen Tian, “???”
Shen Tian swore that if it were not for this fellow being so drunk he might go unconscious anytime, he would have definitely pummeled him with his Purple Golden Hammer!
Alright!
Actually, the main reason was that the providence this sloppy guy was blessed with was quite frightening. His parents had died, he had lost all his cultivation, his properties had been s.n.a.t.c.hed, and his marriage with the princess had been tragically broken off. This was definitely the start of a loser MC that would take his revenge and rise up in the future!
Meanwhile, Shen Tian looked toward the top of that fellow’s head—his providence halo was indeed out of the ordinary. The providence halo on his head was extremely peculiar, half-black, and half-gold.
In addition, Shen Tian clearly saw that the golden color was slowly covering the black halo on the top of the fellow’s head.
Shen Tian did not know what this kind of halo represented, but according to his guess, it should mean that out of the depth of misfortune came bliss.
It was the first time Shen Tian had seen such a halo, and its research value was extremely important to him. Thus, Shen Tian would treat this miserable fellow to all the wine he wanted to drink!
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Brother, how about I treat you to a drink?”
A drink!?
Zhao Hao grinned upon hearing that Shen Tian was willing to treat him to a drink. “Thank-thank you for the Fairy’s generosity!”
Shen Tian, “???”
Zhang Yunxi, who was standing at the side, could not stand watching and walked in front of Zhao Hao with a majestic gait. “Hey, you’re going too far!”
Zhao Hao took a look at Zhang Yunxi, then waved his hand and said, “Brother, don’t misunderstand. I’m not flirting with your partner. It’s this Fairy who says that she will treat me to drink wine. How about I punish myself to drinking three cups later?”
Burp~
After finishing, Zhao Hao burped with his eyes squinted, and a rich scent of wine pervaded the air.
Shen Tian saw Zhang Yunxi grind her teeth, so he had no other choice but to pull Zhao Hao toward the Lunar Rainbow Inn. He had to bring Zhao Hao away. Otherwise, if he stayed with Zhang Yunxi a little longer and called her “brother” again, what if she flipped out on him?
These two people, one was a super-powerful BOSS with a golden halo while the other was a prospective MC with a half-black, half-gold halo. They were both people blessed by providence. If they fought, no matter what the result was, there would be no benefits for Shen Tian at all.
Zhao Hao had lost his cultivation, so he was unable to resist even if Shen Tian pulled him. “Fairy, please conduct yourself. Although my-my marriage has been broken off, I’m not a frivolous man.”
Shen Tian resisted the urge to use his First Essence Heavy Water to spray that fellow’s face and pulled him into the inn.
As for the inn manager, how would he dare to stop him after Shen Tian had secretly shown his Saint Token? He immediately arranged the best private room on Lunar Rainbow Inn’s top floor, where one could see almost half of Fog City.
After making Zhao Hao chug down a foot basin amount of hangover tea, that fellow finally recovered just a little tiny bit of consciousness.
Of course, it was just a little tiny bit only. At least, he still called Zhang Yunxi “brother”.
After drinking a cup of Drunken Divine Wine, Zhao Hao said, “Fairy, I’m so moved! Ever since I lost my cultivation, you’re the first lady to treat me to wine.”
Shen Tian said helplessly, “I am a man.
Zhao Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Tian for a while.
Then, he waved his hand with a smile and said, “Fairy, you must be joking. How can you be a man? It’s impossible for there to be such a good-looking man in this world!”
As he spoke, Zhao Hao’s eyes turned red. “Fairy, don’t worry. When I succeed in the future, I’ll definitely return all the money spent on wine today to you, not missing even a cent. That’s right, may I know Fairy’s name?”
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched, and he asked the manager to bring another foot basin amount of hangover tea.
After chugging it all down again, it was obvious that Zhao Hao’s stomach had bulged out.
All of a sudden, Shen Tian abruptly slapped Zhao Hao’s stomach. Instantly, Zhao Hao’s facial expression changed, and he ran to the side, bending his back.
Barf~
After vomiting his guts out and almost fainting, Zhao Hao finally recovered a part of his consciousness. He looked at Shen Tian’s exquisite appearance, and after confirming that he was indeed a man, he wanted to continue drinking even more.
There’s actually such a handsome man in this world, it makes no sense!
Shen Tian said helplessly, “Brother Zhao, maybe there are too many things that will go wrong in this world, but even though there are ups and downs in life, life still continues. You really shouldn’t give up!”
Zhao Hao shook his head. “No, brother, you will never understand my bitterness.”
Shen Tian said calmly, “You want to compare who’s more miserable? Zhao Hao, I have never lost in it before.”
Zhao Hao scoffed at himself. “I know you want to comfort me, so I thank you for your goodwill. But I am already a useless man that cannot cultivate.”
Shen Tian said calmly. “You’ve just suffered Qi Deviation once and lost all your cultivation, while I had been suffering Qi Deviations since young.”
Zhao Hao was stunned. “Brother, are you serious? How is it possible that one would keep on suffering Qi Deviations?”
Shen Tian nodded. “Truthfully speaking, I am Shen Tian, the Country of Fire’s 13th Prince.”
Zhao Hao took in a sharp breath. “You’re that legendary ultimate unlucky fella in the rumors?”
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “Why, you’ve heard of my name?”
Zhao Hao replied, “Yes, my father has been to the Country of Fire’s palace once and heard of your name. As compared to you, I really am not counted as miserable.”
Upon recalling all the matters that his father had mentioned about Shen Tian, Zhao Hao suddenly felt much better. He was moved and continued, “Brother Shen, just how did you last through so many years of such miserable life? I only now know how amazing you are. I-I think my life is too difficult now!”
Shen Tian shook his head. “I understand, I understand it all. I will help you.” Then, Shen Tian turned to order the manager at the side. “Arrange for the kitchen to cook a pot of chicken soup.”
Zhao Hao was puzzled. “Why, can chicken soup help me?”
Shen Tian nodded mysteriously. “Brother Zhao, have you heard of chicken soup for the soul before?”
