"Out of the way! This Evil Qi is fierce!" Wang Hao shouted loudly, instructing everyone to step back. Soon, all the people retreated to stand against the wall. Wang Hao then said, "Next, I need to dispel and absorb the Evil Qi from the Heart of the Ocean. The process might be a bit scary, but then again, nothing may happen at all. Everyone just needs to be careful."
They were really going to absorb the Evil Qi!
The people present inhaled sharply in unison. Bai Yaning asked nervously, "Wang Hao, you... you won’t get hurt, will you?"
"There shouldn’t be any problem," Wang Hao gave her a reassuring look. "I have a special method to dispel it, and there won’t be any harm to my body after the absorption." He then added, "It’s just that there might be fluctuations in luck, but that’s a minor issue, nothing to worry about."
"Alright," Bai Yaning nodded, "Please be very careful."
"Okay." Wang Hao replied, then focused his gaze on the Heart of the Ocean that was placed on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.
He knew that his luck dice could absorb a lot of Evil Qi from the treasures or people in this world, but the Heart of the Ocean before him looked strangely fierce, a situation he had never encountered before.
He wondered if it would work...
"Forget it, don’t think about it," Wang Hao gritted his teeth, then stretched out his hand and placed it on the Heart of the Ocean.
As soon as he made this move, he saw the black Evil Qi, like floodwater finding an outlet, wrap around his arm crazily!
The Evil Qi surged wildly out of the Heart of the Ocean, wrapping around Wang Hao’s arm before quickly traveling up to his head!
"Whew——!!!" His head felt like it was splitting open. This time the Evil Qi was much more ferocious than before. Pain coursed through Wang Hao, making him gasp, feeling like his head was about to explode. But soon, the black Evil Qi weakened increasingly until, after a few breaths, Wang Hao had completely absorbed it!
"This... what is this..." Wang Hao slowly withdrew his hand, then slowly closed his eyes.
"What’s wrong with Brother Hao?" Zhao Zhenhao whispered to Fang Wenbin. "There’s nothing wrong with him, is there?"
"There shouldn’t be any problem," Fang Wenbin said. "Brother Hao is no ordinary person; he’s never short on surprises for us."
"That’s true," Zhao Zhenhao nodded, then added, "I’m glad he’s alright."
Soon, Wang Hao reopened his eyes and, looking at the few people present, smiled and said, "Alright, I’ve absorbed all of the Evil Qi from the Heart of the Ocean. There’s no problem now."
"Really?" The people approached cautiously to look at the Heart of the Ocean on the table.
The Heart of the Ocean had previously been a deep blue color, looking incredibly profound.
But now, its color was noticeably lighter than before, and the whole gem shimmered with clear light, like that of the ocean.
"So beautiful!" Fang Wenbin exclaimed, "A hundred times more beautiful than before!"
"Indeed, this is real!" Bill Bragg’s eyes nearly popped out as he gazed at the Heart of the Ocean. "No wonder I was so unlucky before. Now, it’s all good!"
Bai Yaning looked at Wang Hao, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. Wang Hao had brought her too many surprises, and this time was no exception.
"Alright, that’s it for now. No more problems," Wang Hao took a long breath and added, "Dispelling Evil Qi is quite exhausting; I’m dead tired."
"Master, Master Wang!" This time, Bill Bragg had completely become a fan of Wang Hao: "Thank you so much for helping me dispel the Evil Qi today! I really can’t thank you enough! THANK YOU!" He was so excited that he blurted out English! It was evident how thrilled he was to have the Evil Qi dispelled today.
"Why be so polite," Wang Hao chuckled to himself, but said aloud, "You’re welcome. Besides, now that the Evil Qi has been dispelled from the Heart of the Ocean, wearing it will not only avoid bad luck but might even bring good fortune. You said earlier you didn’t want the Heart of the Ocean anymore, right? Well then, I shall give it to our dear little Moo Moo!"
Wahaha! What an exceptionally delightful day!
Not only did he get rid of a love rival—forcing Bill Bragg, but he also gained an enthusiastic fan—frightened Bill Bragg, and even scored a 45-carat gemstone—gift-giving Bill Bragg. The most brilliant part was that he happened to absorb all that Evil Qi—unlucky Bill Bragg...
The benefits this time were definitely not less than when he absorbed the Dust bead!
"Right, right, I absolutely don’t want it anymore!" Nothing is more important than keeping one’s life safe, Bill Bragg nodded incessantly: "Consider this necklace a meeting gift for Master Wang, whoever you want to give it to is entirely up to you!"
"That sounds great," Wang Hao said with a grin as he picked up the Heart of the Ocean and approached Bai Yaning, "I’m giving you a necklace, and this time it’s totally safe."
Bai Yaning smiled with pursed lips, a face full of happiness, "Thank you."
Gently clasping the necklace around Bai Yaning’s neck, Wang Hao looked her over and then chuckled foolishly, "It looks beautiful, truly beautiful..."
The surrounding people covered their faces in reaction. Zhao Zhenhao said, "Look at Brother Hao, all love-struck!" Fang Wenbin added, "I’ve got a proverb I’m not sure if I should say or not?" Ren Xing chimed in, "Brother Hao, I didn’t see anything!" Wang Mengfei sighed, "It seems he’s completely fallen for her..."
Bill Bragg felt the most aggrieved, "My necklace, my lover, that’s my youth slipping away..."
"Alright, we’ve finished our meal, let’s discuss serious matters now," Wang Hao got Bai Yaning seated back in her chair, then after everyone was seated, he smiled and brought up, "The Ice Princess’s concert is about to start, we all plan to go, right? Oh, look at these tickets..."
Damn, an Ice Princess concert is a big deal!
Zhao Zhenhao decisively chose to cozy up, "Brother Hao, heh, considering our friendship..."
Fang Wenbin spoke up, "No more words needed, Brother Hao, through thick and thin, all it takes is a word from you!"
Ren Xing remarked, "Brother Hao, let’s not waste words, shall we?"
Wang Mengfei batted her eyelashes hard, "You know what I mean, Brother Hao..."
Now, that’s what I call savvy!
"Moo moo," Wang Hao leaned forward excitedly, "Regarding these tickets... that seat..."
Bai Yaning giggled, captivating Wang Hao completely. She took out a stack of tickets from her purse, "Knowing you have many friends, I’ve prepared them all. I’ve got twenty tickets here, all of them in the best front-row seats."
Twenty concert tickets!
