My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 1 Blind Date
“Mr. Zhou, if you were 20 years old, I wouldn’t ask for too much.”

"But you're 35 now, and your life is pretty much set. And you, on the other hand, have mortgages on your car and house, no savings, and barely make a month. After paying off the mortgage, there's not much left... Yes, we're all ordinary people, and life in today's world is tough. But if I follow you, I don't see any hope."

"So sorry, let's not waste each other's time."

Jiangcheng.

In a cafe on Weihe Road near Jiefang Road.

The girl with delicate makeup stood up and left without hesitation after saying this.

Zhou Ping looked at his back.

There was no emotion on his face.

This was his fifth failed blind date this year. From the age of 32 until now, he had gone on more than ten blind dates every year, but none of them were successful. The best one was when he chatted with a girl for five days, but the other party ended the conversation because of personality incompatibility.

Therefore, he had long been numb to this matter.

In fact, Zhou Ping knew that it was almost impossible for him to get married through a blind date given his current conditions. However, there was nothing he could do. The elders in his family were pressing him very hard. He could have used his youth as an excuse to refuse before, but now...

shook his head.

He scanned the code to pay, then stood up and walked out of the cafe.

The autumn wind rustled.

A few fallen leaves floated on my shoulders.

He tightened his collar and watched the cars coming and going, his eyes calm.

The first half of my life was mediocre.

The rest of my life will be ordinary.

In the early years, I might have felt unwilling to give up and wanted to fight harder, but now I already know my own strengths and weaknesses.

Since you are a creature in the pond, just follow the crowd and no matter how much you struggle, you won't be able to make any waves.

Hey.

At this time the phone vibrates.

He glanced at it and saw it was a message from his aunt, "How's it going? Did you get it?"

Zhou Ping returned a smiling expression.

My aunt immediately comforted me, "It's okay, you will meet someone better next time."

Zhou Ping simply typed "hmm".

This was a perfect ending to this blind date.

"By the way, Auntie has signed you up for a tour group to Mount Tai."

"There's a girl in this tour group who's very pretty and has a great body. You should get to know her better while you're traveling."

Just finished a game.

My aunt immediately arranged the next game for him.

In this regard.

Zhou Ping has gotten used to it. He is very busy with work and it is not easy for him to have some time off. Naturally, his aunt will not miss this opportunity.

"Row."

After replying, he went to a roadside parking space and drove along Weihe Road. After turning a few intersections, he arrived at the underground garage of Jiayuan Community.

five years ago.

He gritted his teeth and scraped together enough money to buy a 120-square-meter house in this community. In the days that followed, he worked overtime every day, not daring to take leave easily. He worked himself to death to save money, and finally paid off the down payment two months ago.

As for the car in front of him, it was given to him by his aunt.

But Zhou Ping still went to the bank to take out a loan based on the market price of a used car and paid the money for the car.

There was no rush to get off the bus.

He sat quietly in the driver's seat for a while.

Then he slowly took the elevator back to the house.

Open the curtains.

The dark living room was brightened up.

Go to the balcony.

Listening to the children playing downstairs, his eyes fell on the overlapping figures in the window.

Thirty-five years old.

He is fat, half of his hair is white, his eyes are dull, his face is listless, and he looks like a soulless body.

He just watched quietly.

It seems like reminiscing about the past, but in fact it is just killing time.

Until I get tired of standing.

Zhou Pingcai turned around and lay on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows. Just as he was about to check the video on his mobile phone, he saw a message in the work group addressed to everyone.

I do not want to see.

But the fingers clicked involuntarily.

"Boss Wang's son has developed spiritual roots. This is a truly joyous occasion. The company has decided to hold a celebration banquet at the Linjiang Hotel at the beginning of next month. Everyone is welcome to attend."

There are a lot of congratulations under the message.

Zhou Ping also chimed in with congratulations.

Exit the group.

He couldn't help but mutter under his breath: "Dog market luck!"

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Ever since humans discovered extraterrestrial civilizations from a crashed spaceship a hundred years ago, the fantasy of cultivating immortals, which only existed in novels, has completely become a reality. However, in order to practice, one must cultivate spiritual roots. Only in this way can one sense and absorb the spiritual energy in the universe, thereby changing one's own cell genes, prolonging lifespan, and possessing all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.

Although basic cultivation methods have been popularized by now, nurturing spiritual roots is still extremely difficult, and it is one in ten thousand.

Some experts and professors say that the younger you are, the easier it is to cultivate spiritual roots through spiritual practice. Once you are over 25 years old, it is difficult to have spiritual roots.

When he was in school, he had more than once dreamed of cultivating spiritual roots and embarking on the beautiful vision of cultivating immortals.

Unfortunately it backfired.

More than thirty years of life have proved that he is not destined for this.

Although he no longer had any expectations for this matter, he would feel envious every time he heard or saw news related to spiritual root cultivation.

If I had spiritual roots, my life might not be so bad, and I wouldn't have to go on blind dates so frequently.

He simply spread the cushions in the living room.

Then he followed the "Twelve Basic Breathing Methods" promulgated by the country, sat facing the bright light outside the window, and began to adjust his breathing frequency. After a while, his breathing became heavy, like the purring of a cat.

It lasted for half an hour.

He stood up expressionlessly and slowly closed the curtains.

Those who have spiritual roots.

When practicing, you will feel a cool sensation in your body, as if water is flowing across your skin.

And his body had never felt anything like this before.

Today is no exception.

The next day.

Zhou Ping got up early.

After washing up.

I tidied myself up again.

Then I went downstairs to eat and sent a message to my aunt.

"Meet at Taihe intersection at 8:30."

"I've already spoken to the tour leader. She'll introduce you. We need to have a good chat on the way."

"understood."

After dinner.

At eight o'clock, he took a taxi to Taihe Road.

The tour bus has stopped at the intersection.

"Sister Wang."

"I'm……"

As soon as I walked over and opened my mouth, the tour group leader, who was dressed fashionably and beautifully, smiled enthusiastically and said, "Xiaoyan introduced you, right?"

"Yes, I'm Zhou Ping."

The team leader, Sister Wang, looked him up and down and said, "Not bad, he looks quite energetic."

talking.

She introduced the girl who was traveling with the group and showed Zhou Ping some photos of her daily life.

Judging from the photos and videos of life.

This girl is really as beautiful as my aunt said. Although she has the added effect of makeup and beauty filters, her foundation is really good, especially her figure, with a curvy figure and long legs. Putting aside her high-tech work, the outline of her chest is really great.

Zhou Ping felt a little uneasy.

"How is it, do you like it?"

"It's OK. It's pretty good."

"As long as you're interested, that's enough. Xiaoyan told me about your situation. Don't be so insecure. Girls love to hear nice things. As for other external qualities... don't be too honest. Make sure you get the person first, then talk about other things."

Sister Wang shared her experience, "I've brought together more than a dozen couples, and some of them weren't as good as you."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly after listening.

Got on the bus.

He sat by the window and waited quietly.

Can achieve the best.

It’s okay if it doesn’t work out.

Time passed little by little.

At half past eight, other members of the tour group arrived one after another.

But some people haven't arrived yet.

The bus continued to stay parked, and the team leader, Sister Wang, called the members who had not arrived.

It was almost nine o'clock.

Sister Wang came to Zhou Ping and said a little embarrassedly, "Zhou Ping, that girl couldn't come because of something urgent. I'll introduce you to another one next time."

Zhou Ping was silent.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation after years of blind dating.

Maybe the other party really has something wrong...

"Are you still going to Mount Tai? If not, I'll give you a refund."

Listen to this.

After he came to his senses, he smiled and said, "Go, just take it as a way to relax."

"Okay."

The tour leader, Sister Wang, then confirmed the number of people and the bus started moving soon.

It takes six or seven hours to get from Jiangcheng to Mount Tai. Along the way, Zhou Ping looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and felt inexplicably depressed. Even when he arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, his mood did not dissipate.

Take out your phone.

My aunt sent me a lot of messages to comfort me.

"Aunt, let's take our blind date a bit slow. I'm a little tired."

Done.

He put his cell phone in his pocket.

Follow the tour group members off the bus.

Standing at the foot of Mount Tai and looking up at the mountains in front of him, the majestic feeling seemed like the immortal life he had once longed for, which was just out of reach.

"You have arrived at the Fengshan site. Please ascend the throne at the top of the mountain and be crowned emperor!"
