It was no wonder Zhang Xuan would be so crestfallen by the matter.

All along, he had performed splendidly before his future brother-in-law, even impressing the latter through the taming of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast. His image in the latter's heart should have been flawless and impeccable… but who would have thought that a mere gourd would undo all of his efforts at this critical juncture!

It was one thing if he could not defeat a saint beast or an artifact, but for even a gourd hanging on a vine to pummel him to the point where he was forced to flee frantically as if a mischievous son being evicted out of his house… this must really be the greatest humiliation in his life!
