Thanks for the chapter!
Seems MC has learned a little restraint and discipline rather than acting like a musclebrain and blindly refusing and resorting to violence. Although Zui Meng is in for a surprise once he regains his cultivation enough to be sure he'll beat her. Seems kind of odd wants to have her marry into his family like he said a few chapters back after wrecking her pillar. Guess he likes strong talented women who can stand up for themselves and don't blindly obey. Wonder if she'll find out about his car blowing up and does something about it. Hope for his sake he got insurance that covers car bombs. In any case, needs to do something about Li You Wei, preferably without the Li family declaring war on him, as this is the second assassination attempt he's tried. (First was an assassin with a sniper rifle and blade who attacked him after MC gave the spirit stones to Auction House to auction off.)
@KamiKira00 and
@Siikalahna MC hasn't changed, he's calmly reading the situation, noting grievances, and only playing the cards he needs to without overplaying his hand. A smart fighter like him doesn't play all his cards in a fight, but minimizes the energy and stamina used while keeping a few trump cards in reserve. That way if needs to fight same opponent again or information about fight spreads he'll still have a few tricks up his sleeve to turn things around once his known abilities are countered. Right now Zui Meng is at least a level stronger then him in terms of strength, tactics, analytical ability, skills and techniques with that special cannon of hers that can shoot those anti-cultivation bullets and act as a shield. He'll stop letting her jerk him around once he's regained a level beyond her and only letting her get away with so much. Such as not getting angry wants to make him a pet but refusing outright to be one. Also, for some reason he's planning on making her marry into his family in the future.
