The reason why Tao Keke was in such a bad mood was because yesterday during her lunch break she had tried looking for Tie Zhu only to find out that he had gone home sick, however when she went to check on him after school it turned out that he was not even home. She had been worrying about him all night wondering where he had gone off to or if something bad had happened to him after school causing her to barely be able to sleep.
Because of this she once again came in to check on Tie Zhu in the morning, however he still was not home. To make matter worse during the entire day at school she had heard people on more than one occasion heard rumors concerning Tie Zhu and Bing Meifeng where Tie Zhu had actually agreed on being her boyfriend since they were both not at school. Although she did not believe such rumors, hearing such words being spoken had actually worsened her already bad mood.

When Tie Zhu saw Tao Keke looking at him like a stranger he suddenly remembered that his entire physical body had gone through quite a significant change that it was almost impossible to explain logically. Not only that, but he could not help but feel a sense of guilt towards her over what had happened with Bing Meifeng yesterday. Despite not being in control of his body back then and not being sure about her feeling towards him it could not change what had happened, causing him to rethink about proposing to be her boyfriend on their date on Saturday.
From his understanding no woman would want their boyfriend being with someone else and it would only be a matter of time since she had found out what had happened. So despite having a desire to be with both women he knew that it was not entirely realistic.
Although he did not expect for Tao Keke to barge in so suddenly, he knew that avoiding this situation would be inevitable, however he still could not think of a reasonable explanation.
"I.. I.. I said who are you. I'll call the police if you don't say anything!" Tao Keke suddenly shouted as she took out her mobile phone while slightly shaking.
"Wait, stop! It's me Tie Zhu. Don't you recognise me?" Tie Zhu hurriedly called out in a familiar tone while grabbing her hand stopping her from calling.
"WHAT! Tie Zhu? How can that be possible?" She exclaimed as her eyes popped wide open. Although the voice was exactly the same she could not understand how he had suddenly become so handsome. Since he had grabbed her hand she was able to observe his facial features close up as a manly scent wafted into her nose that slightly intoxicated her. Despite seeing some similarities she still was not completely sure that it was Tie Zhu.
"I can prove it, remember what happened yesterday when you tried waking me up?" Tie Zhu said seeing that she was still doubtful.
"Ahh! Shut up, don't mention that ever again you pervert!" She shouted casting away all her doubts while she curled her free hand into a fist to hit his chest.
"Ouch! Ahhh why is your chest so hard!" she cried while shaking her hand In pain. After the pain had slightly subsided her curiosity for Tie Zhu suddenly increased. After determining that it was really Tie Zhu she resolutely began to give him a thorough investigation, inspecting each part of his face closely even going as far to opening his eyes with her hands. While she did so she was also secretly inhaling Tie Zhu's scent that she had somewhat become addicted to, however she suddenly noticed that there was a faint floral fragrance mixed in that belonged to a woman!
Although she couldn't be completely sure she still cast a suspicious glance at Tie Zhu.
"... So then, where were you the past two days and how did your appearance suddenly change so much." She asked as a sour feeling grew in her heart. 'He better have not been with some woman!' she thought to herself secretly.
"Hey, your so good at making up excuses. Help me out here, what should I say?" Tie Zhu asked Wang Yazhu in desperation. He had considered telling Tao Keke the truth about what had happened yesterday however he was not sure how she would take it.
"That depends on how you feel about her. If you plan to make her your partner then it's only going to be a matter of time once she finds out. If you do make her your partner she is going to have to cultivate as well if you don't want her to die an early death so the quicker you tell her the better, however you have to be sure you can trust her first." Wang Yazhu replied.
When Tie Zhu heard his response he remembered that his lifespan would far exceed normal people. She had been his closest friend since primary school and shared many memories together so that he could not bear the thought of losing her.
"But what about Bing Meifeng? I've already destroyed her innocence and I want to be responsible for her too." he couldn't help but ask since he still had a monogamous view.
"So what? Why can't you just have both. In the cultivation world most gods had many wives and concubines. As long as you can satisfy them there should not be any limit on how many women you can have. Also the more women the better! As the almighty Tentacle God there was no one better than be when it came to dual cultivation techniques. With them you will be able to greatly enhance not only your cultivation but your daoist partners too." Wang Yazhu replied as if talking to an idiot.
When Tie Zhu heard his response a feeling of greed and lust had unknowing sprouted deep inside his heart as he felt that one woman was not able to satisfy his sexual needs. However his mind was still slightly holding into the view of monogamy since it was what he believed to be morally correct during his whole life.
"About that, a lot has happened in the last two days and I'm not sure if you would believe me if I told you. I'm still trying to understand everything, but if you give me a few days I'll be able to give you an answer." Tie Zhu replied to Tao Keke after hesitating a bit. He decided that if his date went well with Tao Keke he would finally tell her about cultivation, but still keep his biggest secrets hidden.
"Hmph.. You're not going to tell me you were with another woman were you?" she could not help but say with a slight tone of jealousy causing Tue Zhu to be slightly startled.
'$\u0026#\u0026$! What made her suddenly bring that up' he thought to himself as he was not sure how to answer.
"RING RING" Just as he was still thinking on how to respond the phone suddenly rang!
"Hold on, let me get the phone" He said quickly, breathing a sigh of relief as he thought that it would give him more time to prepare a response. However the next moment he quickly regretted that decision and cursed at his luck as he heard the voice coming through the phone. If it had been any other time he would have gladly taken the call, however with Tao Keke in the room he could feel a shiver down his spine as sweat started to condense over his body.
"Hello, is this Tie Zhu? It's Bing Meifeng."
