"I almost died, and you were able to revive with Innate Infant Qi. Why didn't you treat her the sa way?"
"Because her illness and injuries are primarily related to her soul. The soul is too mysterious and complex for to handle right now. Innate Infant Qi only works on the physical body."
"I see."
"Why did you two suddenly stop talking?" Li Weihai asked.
Shen Youling also found it a little strange.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I was severely injured and unconscious, and I only just woke up a few days ago. There's so much I don't know. I can't believe Long Tianji has beco the State Preceptor and is even robbing the cradle by marrying our princess. He's really lucked out!" Lee Encai said sarcastically.
"The princess clarified it herself in a video. She said that Long Tianji has a long lifespan, so compared to her, he isn't really an old man."
"Really? The princess actually made an appearance? Is she beautiful?"
"She wore a mask, but I'm sure she's gorgeous!"
"Is that so... I imagine she'll have to reveal her face at the wedding, right? How about we go attend?"
"Encai, are you joking? The wedding of Long Tianji and the princess is such a high-class event. How could we possibly be qualified to attend?"
"Not necessarily. We're acquaintances of Long Tianji, after all."
"Um, sorry to interrupt!" Lu Lingfei suddenly raised his hand ekly. "May I ask who this Long Tianji is? How did he beco the State Preceptor? Is his 'King' title like that of a pop star, or could it be... a Martial Arts King?"
He had been imprisoned for many years in a very strict, high-security cell and had no access to the latest information from the outside world. Therefore, this was the first ti he had ever heard of Long Tianji.
"Isn't it obvious? Of course he's a Martial Arts King. Could a pop star beco the State Preceptor?"
"Also, I should correct you. Long Tianji is a War God now..."
"That's impossible!" Lu Lingfei shouted, shaking his head vigorously. "When you said he was a King, I hardly believed it. A War God? In this day and age, are there still War Gods?"
"Hah. That just shows how little you know. Facts speak louder than words. Here, take my phone and look it up yourself," Li Weihai scoffed.
The TV news anchor continued to report on State Preceptor Long's résumé. This was far from the first detailed broadcast; many viewers could almost recite it by heart. But for Lu Lingfei, who was hearing it for the first ti, he was utterly dumbfounded, and his heart pounded in his chest for a long ti.
Combined with the vast number of uncensored, real videos publicly available online—especially those showing Long Tianji fighting another War God and divine incarnations—his worldview was completely shattered.
"Is this even the world I knew? Did I travel to a parallel universe? Not only are there several living War Gods, but what the hell are aliens? Was that what that loser Lin Tang was talking about before, with the Underworld invasion? Subterraneans? This is way too sci-fi!"
Lu Lingfei's worldview was completely overturned, leaving him looking like an idiot. Before his imprisonnt, he had been arrogant and feared only Grandmasters like Xiao Xuanye. In the end, it was experts of that caliber who had managed to capture him. He never expected that upon his release from prison, even Xiao Xuanye was now just small fry.
The world was changing too fast. It was more than he could bear. Compared to subterraneans and aliens, a fiend like Lee Encai who played with insects... didn't seem so scary anymore.
A day later, the Li Family had the villa professionally cleaned. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Weihai and Pei Huixian said their goodbyes to go ho.
"Encai, you..." Li Weihai began.
"Hmm? Dad, what is it?" Lee Encai asked without turning her head.
Li Weihai watched her, a blissful look on her face, as she ticulously peeled a shrimp and fed it into Lin Tang's mouth. Lin Tang, for his part, enjoyed her service like a lord from ancient tis.
"...Never mind. It's nothing!" Li Weihai grumbled to himself.
He had wanted to ask his daughter to co ho for the night. But looking at them now, what was the point! He had to admire Shen Youling; the president of Heavenly Fragrance was actually willing to tolerate Lin Tang and Encai being so lovey-dovey right under her nose. Pei Huixian also felt helpless but didn't know what to say. The couple took Lu Lingfei and Gu Zicheng with them when they left.
After dinner, Lin Tang casually announced, "Youling, you can go wash the dishes."
"Why should I wash the dishes? It's not like I was the last one to finish eating!"
"You washed them yesterday. What's wrong with you doing them again today?"
"I've been working all day while you've been lazing around at ho. Why shouldn't you do them?"
"Geez, I'm just asking you to wash the dishes. Why are you getting so worked up? Fine, I'll go! It's not like I'm afraid of you."
The world's morals are in decline! Here I am, a Nascent Soul Stage master, and I still have to scrub pots and wash dishes. Is there any justice left in this world?
When it was ti for bed, under Shen Qiushi's supervision, Lin Tang once again had to go to Shen Youling's room. He was so familiar with the room that he could find the bed with his eyes closed, flopping onto it skillfully.
"Lin Tang, get up. I have sothing I want to talk to you about," Shen Youling said calmly.
"What's up? Changed your mind? Want to get naughty?" Lin Tang sat up, his eyes gleaming.
"...That's not it!"
"Tch. Then there's nothing to talk about!" Lin Tang's face fell, and he lay back down.
"Is getting naughty the only thing on your mind all day?" Shen Youling was utterly speechless.
Lin Tang completely ignored her. Even when she poked him a few tis with her toes and then viciously pinched his soft flesh and twisted, he was completely unfazed, thanks to his skin being as thick as a city wall.
"What I wanted to say is that my secretary has already found a house. I'll take Grandpa and move out this weekend. That way, I won't get in the way of you and Lee Encai trying to have a baby."
