Alex wasn't as concerned about losing his rank as he thought he would be. The only thing that changed was that he would have to live in a slightly less nice-looking house for the night, but he was never concerned about the aesthetics of the place he lived in anyway.
Once he went to the new place, he gave Xiao Huang his own room and went on to cultivate for the night.
Once he was inside of a room, he didn't need to worry about Xiao Huang seeing Pearl, so he was free to cultivate. He only wished that Xiao Huang did not call to ask him for something, as he wouldn't be conscious for the night.
With that thought, he started cultivating. With his body cultivation reaching the 3rd realm of Meridian Tempering realm, he was getting closer and closer to his own cultivation base. So, the pain he was feeling was also growing more and more.
It took him a few seconds to adjust to the new pain and be able to focus on cultivating. Once he did, he soon fell asleep.
