First, some good news! Xiaodao’s wife has taken their son and gone back to the countryside with Xiaodao’s mom!

Let me have three big laughs to celebrate!

Xiaodao usually goes to bed around one in the morning. Then, my son is guaranteed to wake me with his loving calls around six AM. I have no choice but to get up. Once all the adults are awake, my son, completely satisfied, goes right back to sleep.

I’m not kidding, it’s a true story. It’s a terrifying state of affairs. I’m groggy every day from a severe lack of sleep.

So, my wonderfully understanding wife took our child and went with my mom to visit family back in the countryside...

Xiaodao... is free!

I can finally sleep until I wake up naturally, WAAAH... It’s been almost half a year! What a tragedy!

Then, seeing the monthly ticket count for the great author Octopus behind me growing like crazy, Xiaodao is getting anxious. To be honest, Xiaodao was a dedicated subscriber to *Three Palaces 1* back in the day—haha, the subscription in my VIP account is proof! So, I personally really like the great Octopus’s books. Ahem, this isn’t me trying to boost his morale at the expense of my own.

I’m just stating an objective fact. But no matter how much I admire him, I can’t just bend over and take it, right? Heh heh. So, I’m calling on all the brothers and sisters who like this book: we have less than a week left! We must defend our position to the last and hold the line!

This whole month has passed. We absolutely can’t drop the ball at the last moment, right?

I’m guessing a lot of you have gotten your second monthly tickets by now. Cast them for Xiaodao! I will absolutely not let you down!

With the house all quiet, Xiaodao can finally shout arrogantly, "I’m going to burst with Chapters! I’m going to burst with Chapters!"

But the motivation for this burst still has to come from all of you!

Xiaodao isn’t really a fan of the "X votes for a bonus Chapter" model. So, let’s just see if you can all light a fire under Xiaodao’s ass and get me to sit here, bursting with Chapters all day long!

A so-called "burst" means 10,000 characters is the bare minimum. Anything more than that is what truly counts as a burst, right?

Yeah, if you can imagine it, it can be done!

So, just how much time can you all squeeze out of me for this burst? Xiaodao suddenly remembers that whole incident with the recommendation tickets... I don’t dare to doubt you all anymore!

So... prove it to me. Show me how powerful you all are!

When it comes to a fight, this Xiaodao, a man with no backlog of Chapters, is actually... afraid of no one!

If worst comes to worst, I just won’t sleep. That’ll work, right?!

So... Monthly tickets! (To be continued. If you wish to know what happens next, please log in to www.qidian.com. More Chapters, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
