The Dan Yuan stage can already be called the level of a grandmaster.

As for the realms above that, there’s no need to even mention them.

But as for the Dan Yuan stage that Grace Carter is about to break through, with my son’s aptitude, I’m afraid he won’t reach it even in three hundred years… right?

“Taking the martial path… you really don’t have much hope.” Emily Wright looked at her son and sighed, “Brian, actually, living as an ordinary person might be more peaceful.”

Brian Carter squinted his eyes and giggled, “Mom, just because the normal path doesn’t work out doesn’t mean I have to despair. There’s always the unorthodox path.”

Emily Wright snorted and glared, “What did you just say, kid? If you dare to take a crooked, evil path, never mind the law, you won’t even get past me—believe it or not, I’ll beat you half to death!”

Brian Carter shrank his neck, looking terrified on the surface, but inwardly unconvinced: In such a brilliant era, how could I live an ordinary, mediocre life?

“Mom, I just need a little money… just one last experiment, that’s all.” Brian Carter made one final attempt.

“Get lost! No way!”

Emily Wright was fuming.

She had just spent a million on pills. Although she didn’t know where her husband got the money, Emily Wright knew their family’s finances were decent but nowhere near able to produce a million.

Now, with such a huge burden already, this kid still has no sense and wants to waste more money!

And she’d already given him money several times, all of which had gone down the drain.

Outrageous!

He really deserves a beating!

Not to mention there isn’t any, even if there was, she wouldn’t give it to him!

She really couldn’t understand why this kid, at such a young age, had such a deep obsession and craving for money! All these years of pocket money and New Year’s money, and he never seemed to spend a single cent…

He’s a miser through and through, obsessed with money to the extreme…

Totally unlike how open and generous she and her husband are…

Not only is he obsessed with money, but he’s also shameless…

“Is he really my child?”

Thinking about Brian Carter’s personality, Emily Wright sighed, looked down at her own belly, and couldn’t figure it out.

“You didn’t inherit any of your dad’s or my good traits, but you sure took all our flaws…”

…

Emily Wright also left the house.

Brian Carter sighed, about to return to his room to figure something out, when suddenly everything went black. He felt a familiar dizziness, couldn’t see a thing, and his body was floating and moving rapidly through the air…

Brian Carter let out a miserable scream: “Grace Carter!!”

Ever since Grace Carter broke through and gained the ability to manipulate objects through the void, she’d been teleporting Brian Carter around every day. As long as their parents weren’t home, Brian Carter was often left floating through the air by her.

It was pure suffering.

Who else has a sister like this?

And she still wants me to marry her?! Seriously… heh.

They say you have to start beating your little brother early?

Brian Carter felt that Grace Carter didn’t need to start early at all… because she could just keep beating him forever…

With a whoosh, everything brightened.

He saw Grace Carter’s pretty, smug face appear in front of him, looking proud and a little cocky: “Wasn’t that fun?”

“…” Brian Carter was still dizzy, swaying back and forth on the ground, gritting his teeth: “Just you wait, if my cultivation ever surpasses yours…”

“If you surpass me, what are you going to do?!” Grace Carter stepped forward, puffed out her chest, and questioned him arrogantly.

“…I, I won’t do anything.” Brian Carter shamefully chickened out.

Grace Carter had already come up close, reached out, and pinched Brian Carter’s cheek, asking fiercely, “Tell me, what do you need the money for?”

“Ow, ow, ow…” Brian Carter was completely powerless under Grace Carter’s grip, sucking in cold air and fuming, “Let go! Of course I have a use for the money!”

Grace Carter leaned in and studied him for a while. She was so close that Brian Carter could even feel the warmth of her breath and the sweet scent from her mouth.

He couldn’t help but feel dizzy and snapped, “You keep telling me not to think about it, so stop bothering me!”

“Hmph… as if I care.” After a long moment, Grace Carter finally let go of him. With a flip of her hand, a red pill appeared, and she snorted, “Eat this, and I’ll give you the money.”

“Ugh… I told you already, it’s useless…” Brian Carter took it, tossed it into his mouth without even looking.

It was a low-grade cleansing pill.

Ever since Grace Carter started to shine, she was beautiful and talented; her admirers could circle Phoenix City three times. And getting all sorts of low-level pills was nothing unusual for her.

But everyone knew that Grace Carter was only interested in pills that could enhance her Star Soul abilities. She ignored everything else.

Even though they didn’t understand why, her admirers all tried to please her. Especially with these kinds of pills—they were cheap.

What they didn’t know was that every pill Grace Carter got ended up in Brian Carter’s stomach.

He’d already eaten at least twenty of these cleansing pills…

“Did you pick this one up again?” Brian Carter asked as he swallowed.

“Of course.” Grace Carter blinked, showing a playful look. “Someone walked past me and dropped a bottle of pills. No matter how I called out, they didn’t come back… so I had to bring it home.”
