Chapter 180 Chapter- 180: Reunite
?After handing Zheng Yang over to the elder, Wang Ming made his way back to his residence. He had a feeling that Zheng Yang would not be punished, purposely choosing not to pursue the matter. He wanted to see what he would do later, and moreover, he didn't believe Zheng Yang could create much trouble for him. Wang Ming was not only strong but also had the support of the supreme elder and sect leader.
While lost in thought, Wang Ming reached close to his residence and was a bit surprised by what he saw. "Hmm, they are still here. Looks like they can't wait for much longer," Wang Ming smirked as he observed Shang Rui and the others who had gone to gather credits for his special massages. Judging by the looks of it, they had successfully gathered the credits.
A few minutes ago
At the entrance of Wang Ming's house, Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, and Luo Li were having a chat.
"Sister Lingxi, when will you be back? I wanted to Dual Cultivate with Wang Ming again," Luo Li asked with a pout.
"Sigh, I have no idea. He went outside for a mission, and he'll probably be back when the mission's time limit outside the sect runs out," Bai Lingxi replied with a shrug.
"Most likely, he's out there seducing women after completing the mission," Shi Yu remarked, and the others nodded in agreement.
"By the way, why did he suddenly open a massage parlor? What's up with the prices, and can massages really help cultivation?" Luo Li asked with a raised eyebrow, directing her question to Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu. She was baffled by the exorbitant prices and couldn't help but seek clarification. Before they could respond, they were interrupted by a voice.
"Disciple Bai Lingxi," the three girls turned their heads toward the approaching group. Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu recognized them—it was Shang Rui, Yu Yan, Tian Ying, and Deng Yan.
The girls, on the other hand, were a bit surprised when they recognized Luo Li at Wang Ming's place.
"Senior Luo Li, what are you doing here?" Shang Rui asked in a shocked voice, as Luo Li was a highly talented disciple in the sect, and they were surprised to find her there.
"Hmm, just came to chat with them," Luo Li pointed towards Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu, causing the other girls to raise an eyebrow.
"Oh, how do you know them?" Shang Rui asked in a curious voice.
"We share the same man," Luo Li said with a smile, stunning the girls.
"Y-You mean Wang Ming is your Dual Cultivation partner as well?" Deng Yan asked in shock. Her eyes widened when Luo Li nodded in agreement. They hadn't expected such a talented disciple of the sect, who didn't have a partner, to have a connection. Then, their eyes filled with jealousy as they thought about how Luo Li could enjoy Wang Ming's touch without any cost whenever she wanted.
"By the way, have you collected the credits?" Bai Lingxi asked, looking at them.

"Yes, just as we did, we rushed here. Can you call Disciple Wang Ming?" Shang Rui said in a slightly impatient and excited voice, with the others echoing the sentiment.
"Sigh, I have to refuse you. You'll have to come at a later time," Shi Yu chimed in from the side, causing the girls to frown.
"Why? What's the problem?" It took them quite a bit of effort to collect credits, and now being unable to see Wang Ming displeased them a bit.
"Sigh, girls, he went outside of the sect to perform a mission. It will probably take him some time to return," Bai Lingxi explained with a sigh.
"What? He's not in the sect!" exclaimed the?girls in frustration
"I was really hoping to improve my cultivation through the massage," Shang Rui said, expressing her disappointment. She knew there was nothing she could do but wait for his return. On the other side, Luo Li was a bit puzzled and couldn't voice her thoughts.
"How can a massage improve cultivation?" Luo Li asked with confusion. While she acknowledged Wang Ming's resourcefulness, she had doubts because she had never heard of a massage that could significantly enhance cultivation, contrary to Wang Ming's claims. She heard from some displeased disciples in the sect had dismissed it as a scam to collect credits. Bai Lingxi was about to explain, but Shi Yu beat them to the punch.
"Oh, we forgot that you do not know. Let me tell you," Shi Yu said, looking at Luo Li, who waited for her to continue.
"You are right, a normal massage cannot increase cultivation that much. But Dual Cultivation can. He purposely said that to cover up, and you already know his skills. By the time their partners find out, the males won't be able to do anything," Shi Yu explained. Luo Li turned silent and looked back at them after some time.
"I see," Luo Li mumbled, her lips twitching. She thought only Wang Ming could plan something like that and wondered if he wanted to take over the sect through the females.
"Wang Ming, you're back!" Just as Shang Rui and the others were deciding to return later when Wang Ming would be back, Shi Yu's words made them turn their backs. They saw Wang Ming approaching, and their eyes lit up with excitement.
"Oh, hey girls," Wang Ming smiled back at them as he embraced his partners, then turned to look at Shang Rui, Yu Yan, and the others.
"Hmm, looks like you girls have got the credits," Wang Ming said with a smile.
"Of course, we want to experience the massage as soon as possible and improve our cultivation," Tian Ying said with excitement, eager to experience even greater pleasure than before and wanting nothing more than to drag him to his room and start Dual Cultivating right away.
"Sigh, girls, I'm very happy that you're so eager to Dual Cultivate, but as you can see, I've just returned, and I would like to spend some time with my girls before starting business. How about we do it tomorrow when I open my business?" Wang Ming suggested. Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, and Luo Li smiled as he prioritized them before some random woman.
"Alright, fine," the girls reluctantly left the place while casting envious glances at the three women behind him.
"Looks like your cultivation has improved, hmm," Wang Ming said as he used his soul eyes to view their cultivation. He was surprised to see that Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu's cultivation had improved.

Wang Ming was a bit surprised that both Bai Lingxi and Luo Li were at the Golden Core Realm
"That's right, we were on the verge of a breakthrough anyway when he left, so it was pretty easy" Bai Lingxi replied with a shrug, and Shi Yu nodded in agreement.
"By the way, why did you return so fast? I thought it would take a few more days," Shi Yu asked curiously.
"Well..." Wang Ming scratched the back of his head and proceeded to share everything about the treasure pagoda, how he spanked the princess, and how he got Feng Mei as his partner. The girls listened to his narration with open mouths and wide eyes, and after a period of silence, they finally spoke.
"You are really bold...that you did this to the princess, and more surprisingly, she did not retaliate," Bai Lingxi said, somewhat impressed by Wang Ming's boldness. He even had the guts to lay hands on the princess and record the shameful deed. She decided she would ask for the record later to see him dominating the princess.
"Forget the princess, how is everyone not reacting that he climbed all 100 floors of the treasure pagoda?" Luo Li shouted, as Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu looked at her neutrally.
"It's Wang Ming," Bai Lingxi flatly replied.
"Yes, I thought you would have already accustomed to his, hmm...how should I say, weirdness," Shi Yu said, and Luo Li and Wang Ming's eyebrows twitched.
"Hmm, you are right," Luo Li replied after some silence.
"Alright, girls, do you want to Dual Cultivate with me now?" Wang Ming asked, and the girls smirked.
"Do you even have to ask?" Shi Yu smiled, and along with the other girls, she dragged him inside.
Next Morning
After an intense session with the girls, he woke up and opened his massage business, seeing Shang Rui and the others approaching.
"Oh, you guys came so early?" Wang Ming asked with a smile.
"Of course, we can't wait anymore," Deng Yan said impatiently.
"So, who's going first?" Wang Ming asked, just as the girls were about to respond, an authoritative voice interrupted.
"Stop!" Wang Ming and the girls looked at the source and saw Zheng Yang with a battered look and a mature woman with him.
