Suddenly, it occurred to me to wonder whether the groceries I bought would last a whole week. Thinking about it, every day I just eat the few dishes I bought that one time. Although every meal I cook suits my own taste, wouldn’t it be better to have a few more options? With this in mind, Evelyn Blake still decided to throw a few hundred yuan at home, but it was impossible to knock on the door and hand the money directly to William Clark, so as usual, a thousand yuan was left on the computer desk.

William Clark would come out every day only after Evelyn Blake had left, first practicing a set of martial arts in the courtyard, then eating and cultivating, spending the day browsing various bookstores, and leaving some food for Evelyn Blake in the evening. After a few days, the two of them didn’t interfere with each other and actually lived quite comfortably. The nebula was forming quickly, and it looked like it would be fully formed in just one more day.

Hearing the sound of Evelyn Blake leaving for work, William Clark stretched lazily, slowly opened the door, and came out to wash up. After washing his face, he saw that Evelyn Blake hadn’t closed the door tightly. He thought to himself, did she forget to close the door again this time? Last time she forgot, she seemed to be in a hurry when she came back from work. Sigh, what a forgetful woman. I’d better help her close the door.

“Big sister…” Just as William Clark was about to close the door, he heard a crisp female voice from downstairs.

William Clark hurried downstairs and saw a beautiful girl of about eighteen or nineteen had already rushed into the living room. Before William Clark could say anything, the girl said, “You’re that psycho… oh, you’re William Clark, right? Is my sister home?”

William Clark was speechless, thinking this girl was really bold. She looked somewhat familiar, and she did resemble Evelyn Blake a bit. Since she called out ‘big sister’ downstairs, could she be Evelyn Blake’s younger sister?

“Oh, nothing to do with you. My sister probably hasn’t left for work yet. I’ll go find her.” As if talking to herself, the girl glanced at William Clark with an indescribable look, then bypassed him and went straight upstairs.

Watching the girl’s brash manner, William Clark felt a bit frustrated. She and Evelyn Blake were really like night and day.

She hurriedly opened the door, and when she didn’t see Evelyn Blake, the girl’s face immediately showed a look of disappointment. She quickly took out a pink phone from her pocket, ready to make a call, but suddenly spotted the thousand yuan on the computer desk and instantly beamed with joy. She quickly put away her phone, grabbed the money, and dashed out the door. As she left, she didn’t forget to say, “William Clark, I’m leaving.”

Throughout the whole process, William Clark didn’t get a word in edgewise. The girl disappeared as quickly as she had appeared, as if she’d never been there at all. William Clark gave a wry smile, then unhurriedly went to the courtyard to practice a set of martial arts, and then strolled off to the bookstore.

Although Evelyn Blake wasn’t as worried as last time that William Clark would mess up her room, she still came straight home after work.

Seeing that the room was still tidy, Evelyn Blake breathed a sigh of relief. Noticing that the money by the computer desk was gone, she knew William Clark had taken it, and felt at ease.

William Clark had already started cultivating in the bedroom. Evelyn Blake took out the hot food from the rice cooker to eat, then went upstairs to take a shower and start working.

Spiritual energy transformed into star power, driving the rapid formation of the nebula within William Clark. After unhesitatingly eating the last few Mingyan fruits, the star power in his body suddenly surged, and William Clark focused on his dantian. With a “boom,” William Clark felt his whole body tremble, and an intense, pleasurable sensation surged through him. William Clark was overjoyed, knowing the nebula had finally fully formed. Still not daring to stop cultivating, the newly formed nebula rapidly strengthened every acupoint and meridian in William Clark’s body by hundreds of times.

After another four hours, William Clark opened his eyes and stood up, feeling full of energy and strength. Now, even if dozens of strong men came at him, they probably wouldn’t be his match.

He had been on Earth for quite some time and knew that here, ancient martial arts, when practiced to the extreme, could form internal energy. His own nebula power was somewhat similar to internal energy, but William Clark knew his nebula power was many times stronger than internal energy.

Moreover, no matter how deep one’s internal energy, it couldn’t grant longevity or ascension, but as long as his nebula power formed a single star, he could achieve longevity and form a star ring. While he didn’t dare claim he could ascend, once he cultivated two stars, he could travel among the stars—something internal energy could never compare to.

Looking at the black grime all over his body, William Clark was not alarmed but delighted. He knew this was the result of the nebula’s formation, cleansing his body inside and out. The smell was extremely unpleasant, so William Clark hurried to the bathroom for a thorough wash.

Evelyn Blake woke up around two or three in the morning and heard William Clark going to the bathroom to shower. She was at a loss for words. She thought, this guy is really too much. He’s been cooking pretty well these past few days, and I thought he’d improved, but it turns out he’s still the same as before.

William Clark spent nearly an hour showering. After he finished, he realized his skin had changed from dark to smooth and fair. He thought to himself that this wasn’t something he could control, so he quickly washed his clothes and hung them directly on the balcony in his room.
