Three days later.

Morning.

Shen Estate.

Shen Tian woke to silence.

Which was suspicious.

Very suspicious.

Normally...

There was always something.

A knock.

A phone call.

Xu Ning bothering him.

Bai Xue appearing somewhere she absolutely wasn’t supposed to be.

His mother deciding breakfast required his immediate presence.

Or Shen Yan standing outside his room because apparently hallways needed

guarding.

Today...

Nothing.

Shen Tian opened his green eyes.

Stared at the ceiling.

Then...

"Xu Ning."

No response.

His eyes narrowed.

"Xu Ning."

Still nothing.

Shen Tian sat up.

His shirtless upper body still carried faint traces of the

transformation from Tianlong Mountain.

His physique had stabilized completely.

Primordial Sovereign Dragon Physique.

Mid Heaven Manifestation.

His strength had increased far beyond what even he originally expected.

Yet...

His system spirit was missing.

That was more concerning.

He stepped out of bed.

Then...

The bedroom door opened.

Chi Lingxi walked inside.

She carried a tray.

Shen Tian stared.

She stared back.

Silence.

Then...

Her eyes moved downward.

Shen Tian followed her gaze.

No shirt.

He looked back at her.

Chi Lingxi’s cheeks slowly became red.

"Good morning."

"Morning."

She remained standing there.

Shen Tian waited.

Chi Lingxi continued staring.

"Lingxi."

Her eyes snapped upward.

"What?"

"My face is up here."

Her face became crimson.

"I know!"

"Do you?"

"Yes!"

Shen Tian smiled.

She immediately walked toward the bed.

"You’re annoying."

"You came into my room."

"With breakfast."

"While I was sleeping."

"You weren’t sleeping."

"I was when you planned this."

Chi Lingxi placed the tray down.

Then...

She crossed her arms.

"Your mother told me to wake you."

Shen Tian paused.

"My mother."

"Yes."

"Told my girlfriend."

Chi Lingxi’s cheeks warmed.

"Yes."

"To enter my bedroom."

She hesitated.

Then...

"...yes."

Shen Tian stared.

Chi Lingxi stared back.

Then...

Both looked toward the door.

Yin Suyi’s voice came from the hallway.

"I CAN HEAR YOU."

Shen Tian closed his eyes.

Of course.

Chi Lingxi covered her mouth.

He called out.

"Mother."

"What?"

"Why?"

Silence.

Then...

"Breakfast."

"That doesn’t answer anything."

"It answers enough."

Footsteps disappeared.

Shen Tian stared at the door.

Chi Lingxi laughed.

Then...

She looked back at him.

And unfortunately...

Her eyes dropped again.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

She immediately grabbed his shirt from a nearby chair.

Then...

Threw it at him.

"Put this on."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Strong argument."

"Shen Tian."

He laughed.

Then...

Put it on.

Chi Lingxi watched.

Her face remained pink.

. . .

Downstairs.

Breakfast had become a gathering.

Again.

Yin Suyi sat at the head of the table.

Shen Yan beside her.

Bai Xue was eating fruit she almost certainly hadn’t been offered.

Ling Shuangxue sat elegantly with coffee.

Qin Ruobing beside her.

Li Lian and Ruan Yizhen were talking quietly.

Chu Luoshen had brought papers from school.

Chu Mei and Chu Chuchu sat together.

Su Yue was helping Cao Huo Er with breakfast.

Rose sat with Tang Meilin.

Gu Qingya had apparently arrived early.

Lin Yue was still wearing hospital clothes beneath a coat.

Chu Zijin wore sunglasses.

Indoors.

Again.

Shen Tian entered.

Stopped.

Then...

Counted.

Once.

Twice.

His mother calmly drank tea.

"Sit."

Shen Tian looked at her.

"Why are there this many people in my house?"

Bai Xue bit into an apple.

"Our house."

"No."

She smiled.

"Your mother’s house."

Yin Suyi nodded.

Shen Tian stared.

"Traitor."

His mother looked offended.

"I gave birth to you."

"That doesn’t answer the accusation."

Rose laughed.

Tang Meilin covered her mouth.

Chi Lingxi sat beside Shen Tian.

Immediately.

Rose looked at the remaining chair on his other side.

Then...

Bai Xue moved.

Fast.

She dropped into it.

Rose stopped.

Bai Xue smiled sweetly.

"Morning."

Rose stared.

Then...

She slowly sat across from Shen Tian instead.

Bai Xue looked victorious.

Shen Tian sighed.

"What is happening?"

Ling Shuangxue calmly placed down her coffee.

"Apparently..."

She looked toward Yin Suyi.

"...your mother called everyone."

Shen Tian turned.

Yin Suyi remained dignified.

"I did."

"Why?"

She took another sip.

"Vacation."

Silence.

Shen Tian blinked.

"What?"

Yin Suyi looked at him.

"You purchased an island."

Every head turned toward Shen Tian.

Silence.

Shen Tian slowly looked toward Xu Ning.

She finally appeared.

Smiling.

[Good morning.]

His eyes narrowed.

"You."

[Me?]

"How does she know?"

Xu Ning looked innocent.

[Legal registration.]

Shen Tian stared.

[Your mother has access to family asset records.]

Yin Suyi couldn’t hear Xu Ning.

She continued calmly.

"A private island appeared under your ownership three days ago."

Shen Tian looked back.

His mother raised an eyebrow.

"Were you planning to mention it?"

"Eventually."

"When?"

He thought.

"Before retirement."

Yin Suyi stared.

Then...

Shen Yan spoke.

"I already checked the island."

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"Of course you did."

"Security is excellent."

"Good."

"Missile defense."

"Apparently."

"Anti aircraft systems."

"Yes."

"Underground shelter."

Shen Tian paused.

"It has that?"

Xu Ning nodded.

[Three.]

Shen Tian stared.

Shen Yan continued.

"Private harbor."

"Yes."

"Medical center."

Lin Yue immediately looked interested.

"Medical center?"

Shen Tian looked toward Xu Ning.

She nodded.

"Apparently."

Lin Yue leaned forward.

"How equipped?"

Xu Ning opened a panel.

Shen Tian read.

"Full surgical suites."

Lin Yue froze.

"Plural?"

"Four."

Her eyes widened.

"Imaging?"

"Everything."

"Laboratory?"

"Yes."

"Blood storage?"

"Yes."

"ICU?"

"Twelve beds."

Lin Yue stared.

Then...

She slowly sat back.

Rose looked at her.

"You want to see it."

Lin Yue remained professional.

"No."

Shen Tian smiled.

Lin Yue pointed.

"Don’t."

He hadn’t said anything.

Chu Luoshen looked up from her papers.

"You also have a school?"

Shen Tian stared.

Xu Ning nodded enthusiastically.

[Yes.]

He sighed.

"Apparently."

Chu Luoshen’s eyes brightened.

"What kind?"

Shen Tian read the information.

"Small private academy building."

"Classrooms."

"Library."

"Science facilities."

"Training hall."

"Outdoor field."

Chu Luoshen looked increasingly interested.

Then...

"Why?"

Shen Tian shrugged.

"Came with the island."

Xu Ning crossed her arms.

[You specifically liked that feature because of her.]

He ignored her.

Chu Zijin suddenly raised her hand.

Everyone looked.

"Karaoke."

Gu Qingya closed her eyes.

"No."

Chu Zijin looked offended.

"I didn’t ask you."
