The dawn twilight was revealed on the East horizon when Tang Xiu returned to Bluestar Villa Complex. Although he didn’t sleep all night, he was still full of vigor and spirit at the moment. What he didn’t expect was that Xue Chao’s wife, Du Juan, had already woken up and was busy in the kitchen.

“Big sis-in-law, it’s so early!”

After greeting her, Tang Xiu was about to go to the second floor to change his clothes.

Wearing an apron, Du Juan turned around, smiled and said, “I usually get up early at home. It’s a habit. Boss Tang, a woman came last night. She should be your girlfriend, right?”

_Girlfriend?_

Tang Xiu thought of Kang Xia. He smiled and didn’t explain, only nodded and said, “I got it. Big sis-in-law, don’t imitate Xue Chao in calling me Boss Tang. Just call me Tang Xiu. It’s fine. Well, go busy yourself! I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes.”

“OK. Go ahead and wait for breakfast.” Du Juan faintly smiled and went back to cooking.

When he went to the second floor bedroom, Tang Xiu saw Kang Xia still sleeping in a man’s white shirt. Her sleeping posture looked very attractive, curling up sideways like a sleeping kitten. Her sensual mouth occasionally let out a groan, likely having a delicious meal in a dream.

“Hehe!”

Tang Xiu chuckled and reached out his hand to draw the blanket and cover her body. He then walked to the cloakroom to take clean clothes. After taking a shower, his whole body felt fresh and refreshed, as he then put on the clean clothes. Just as he came out of the bathroom’s door, he saw that Kang Xia had woken up, leaning on the bedhead, watching him with a smile.

“You woke up?” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Kang Xia nodded with a smile, “Our Gods Nectar won the first place in the Wine Tasting Conference. It was an instant hit. I came back here last night, wanting to celebrate it with you. But you wasn’t home and I couldn’t get you on the phone.”

With a surprised look, Tang Xiu then picked up the phone on the TV cabinet. After taking a glance at it, he said with a smile, “No wonder there was no sound from it since last night. It turns out its battery is running out and it got automatically shut down. Anyhow, I heard about it. I passed through Jinhui Square in the morning when I came back and saw the news on the large screens in the square. Some media channels reported the situation in the Wine Tasting Conference, focusing on the Gods Nectar. The response and reactions are great.”

“The opening ceremony will be held three days later. Which place are you going to participate?” Kang Xia said with a smile.

“I won’t attend it.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, “After all, my current identity is a student. It won’t look good if I look too high-profile. Let’s see the sales figure for the first three days. If the sales figure is good, I’ll give you a celebration feast.”

“Where will you hold it?” Kang Xia said with a smile.

“I’ll go back to Star City.” Tang Xiu said.

Kang Xia’s eyes lit up. She was pleasantly surprised as she said, “That settles it then. Anyways, the one living downstairs is your classmate? With his wife and child?”

“Yeah. He’s my dorm and classmate.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “That buddy is really amazing. In his first day at Shanghai, he got injured due to helping someone, thus he got hospitalized in Shanghai First Public Hospital. I went to visit him yesterday and found that he was destitute. Furthermore, his wife and son came down from the mountains to Shanghai to find him, and they were staying in the hospital. Hence, I made them come live here.”

Kang Xia suddenly understood, and said with a smile, “Someone who acts courageously like that at least is not a bad guy. Do you intend to make them live here forever?”

“That won’t do.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “After Xue Chao’s wound has recovered, he will have to live in the campus dormitory. As for his wife and child, we’ll see how he would arrange it for them. Well, let’s not talk about their issues. Since you have woken up, don’t stay in bed. Take a shower and let’s go downstairs to have breakfast.”

“You bought breakfast?” Kang Xiu smiled.

“Nope.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “It’s Xue Chao’s wife. She’s making breakfast downstairs.”

Kang Xia suddenly understood and leisurely went to the bathroom. After a dozen minutes passed by, she walked out in pajamas. Because she had brought her luggage from the hotel yesterday, she took out a neat set of clothes from the inside and walked downstairs with Tang Xiu, “By the way, I plan to return to Star City in the evening. Do you have anything to do today? You want me to accompany you?”

“Do you know the current price for fine iron?” Tang Xiu thought for a while and then asked.

“I don’t know much about this.” Kang Xia shook her head.

“Nevermind then.” Tang Xiu said, “I’ll tell Chi Nan to take care of it. Anyhow, since you’re going to leave this evening, let’s go buy something! I’m afraid I’ll be quite busy for some time henceforth.”

“Busy with what?” Kang Xia curiously asked.

“Crafting tools!” Tang Xiu smiled slightly and said.

“What tools?” Kang Xia asked with a confused expression.

“You have yet to officially tread on the cultivation path, so it’s natural that you don’t know about refining tools and such.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “In the future, after you can sense qi circulation and have a perfect command of it, I’ll tell you about crafting tools.”

Having said that, Tang Xiu then dialed Chi Nan’s cell number and said, “Help me buy some steel ingots and iron ores. I’ll text you the quantity later. Buy all of them by tonight and send them to the location I’ll tell you.”

“Affirmative!” Chi Nan quickly complied.

During the wait for breakfast, Tang Xiu sent a text message with the details, the address where to buy them, and then sent it to Chi Nan. After that, they and Xu Chao’s family finished breakfast. It was a simple breakfast with baked salty cakes, boiled rice porridge, and two portions of hot pickled mustard that were obviously bought from the supermarket. However, outside of those, each person also got a soft boiled egg.

_Simple and economical!_
