“Why did you come here, Mu Fei?” Liu Ying asked after she opened her hotel room door.
“Have you seen Chen Li and Feng Xian’er?” Mu Fei asked her back. “I just came from their room to look for Mengyao, but they don’t seem to be in their room.”
“Hmm?” Liu Ying raised her eyebrows for a moment, and she answered her. “They’re probably taking Su Mengyao out for a walk, especially since they haven’t seen each other for a long time, right?”
“Sigh, you’re right.” Mu Fei nodded to her. “However, Mengyao usually invites me if she wants to go anywhere, but she didn’t say anything to me this time.”
“Let’s talk inside; I feel bored alone in the room.” Mu Fei agreed with that, for she also felt bored, and Liu Ying then said to her. “You don’t need to worry about Mengyao; Chen Li and Xian’er are powerful; they should be able to protect her well.”
“Oh?” Mu Fei was surprised to hear that. “Do they both also have superpowers?”
“Yes.” Liu Ying nodded to her. “They have superpowers, but they are different than others, and they are much stronger, so not many people dare to disturb them.”
Mu Fei nodded in understanding. “In that case, I don’t need to worry about Mengyao.”

Meanwhile, when Chen Li and Dongfang Hanxue returned to the bamboo house area, Feng Xian’er and several women were already waiting there, chatting happily.
“Big Bad Gege!” Su Mengyao called out as she ran toward Chen Li, and she immediately jumped at him.
Chen Li shook his head and carried Su Mengyao in his arms. “You are so big now, but you are still being spoiled like this. Luckily, my body is much stronger now, or else I can’t carry you, you know?”
“Hehehe!” Su Mengyao giggled and kissed Chen Li’s cheek. “I don’t care! And I will always want to be pampered by you and Xian’er Jiejie!”
“If your fans know you are like this, they will laugh at you, Little Yao.” Dongfang Hanxue said as she rubbed Su Mengyao’s head.
Su Mengyao turned to Dongfang Hanxue and said to her. “Hehe! Long time no see, Big Sis Hanxue. As I recall, we last met a year ago, right?”
Dongfang Hanxue nodded to her. “Yes! Back then, Hanyue and I were on assignment in Tianjin, and that was the last time we saw each other.”
“However, I didn’t expect that you and Big Sis Hanyue have become close to Big Bad Gege again.” Su Mengyao said with some astonishment, for she remembered that Chen Li couldn’t remember about the Dongfang Twins.
“You are right, but you are also wrong.” Dongfang Hanxue answered as she shook her head. “Little Chen still can’t recall our memories, so we haven’t really been able to get as close as we used to, but I will try my best to help him get his memories back.”
“En.” Su Mengyao nodded in understanding, and she then asked Chen Li. “Anyway, when can I fly?”
“You can’t wait to fly, huh?” Chen Li asked with a chuckle. “If you want to be able to fly, you must diligently cultivate first. After your cultivation reaches the Foundation Realm, you can fly by yourself.”
Su Mengyao pursed her lips after she heard that. “In that case, I still need a long time to be able to fly by myself.”
Chen Li pinched Su Mengyao’s chubby cheeks. “You have to learn to be more patient, understand? Moreover, the time in this place is ten times faster than in the outside world, and time will fly unnoticed if you focus on your cultivation.”
“Huh? Is that true?” Chen Li nodded to her, and Su Mengyao asked him again. “Does that mean I’ll grow up faster if I spend more time in this place?”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded and explained it to her. “I am already 22 years old, and Xian’er is already 20 now, which is due to the effect of the flow of time in this place.”
Dongfang Hanxue was not surprised to hear that, for Feng Xian’er had already explained everything to her and her twin sister.
“Little Chen! How about you take us out?” Dongfang Hanyue suddenly asked him.
Chen Li raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. “Why do you want to go out with us, Big Sis Hanyue?”
Dongfang Hanyue immediately moved to Chen Li’s side and hugged his arm. “They told me that you guys want to go to Disneyland, and I’ve never been there before, so I want to come with you.”
“I also want to come with you, Little Chen.” Dongfang Hanxue joined in.
Over the past year, they had always been busy with college and had to look after their mother, and their family’s finances weren’t as good as they used to be either, so they didn’t have the time and funds to travel far away.
Feng Xian’er then said to her husband. “If you are worried about Uncle Liu and Mu Fei, we can tell them that they deliberately followed us to Hong Kong, so they won’t suspect anything.”
“All right then.” Chen Li immediately agreed with his wife’s idea.
Suddenly, Sun Xing’er jumped onto Chen Li’s shoulder as she returned to her fox form; she then lay down on his shoulder and said. “Brother, I also want to come with you; I am curious about Xian’er and Mengyao’s stories about your world.”
“Big Sis Xing’er! Why are you using your fox form? I feel weird hearing a fox that can talk.” Su Mengyao said to her. She had actually been shocked after Feng Xian’er introduced her to Sun Xing’er, but after she remembered about Sacha, and she was also a cultivator now, she could accept that she was a fox beast more easily.
Sun Xing’er shook her head. “I don’t want people to see my human form, so I’ll use my fox form when we’re outside.”
“It’s fine.” Chen Li didn’t mind that. “Moreover, Xing’er’s appearance is different from that of us Earthlings, and people would definitely be shocked if they saw her human form.”
“I see.” Su Mengyao nodded in understanding, and Chen Li took them out of the Tianyi Realm.

Afterward, Chen Li rented another room for the Dongfang Twins, causing Dongfang Hanyue overjoyed.
However, Dongfang Hanxue’s reaction differed from that of her twin sister, and she wanted to share a room with Chen Li, but she still accepted his decision. “Anyway, where did you get so much money to rent such a luxurious room, Little Chen?”
“Haha.” Chen Li gave a soft laugh, and he explained it to her. ” I sold some of the gold bars inherited from my Master, and I also earned quite a lot of money from Nan Xinyue. That’s why I was able to buy a building to open my first restaurant, and I’m thinking of opening a branch in another city in the future. Moreover, Fatty Ye is renovating the building that Uncle Zhao gave me, and I also got an office building from Uncle Mu after healing his wife. Once everything is ready, I will set up my company and pharmaceutical factory, and Sister Huoli will help me to manufacture some items later.”
The Dongfang Twins were dumbfounded after hearing all of his explanations, and Dongfang Hanyue asked him. “Did you use your abilities to gamble in Xinyue’s casino before?”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded to her. “After all, my opponent was a vampire, and he also used his abilities to manipulate everything, so I fought him back with my abilities.”
“I see.” Dongfang Hanyue nodded in understanding. “However, I still can’t believe that demons are real! If I hadn’t seen Sacha and Anna, I would have difficulty believing they existed.”
“Me too.” Dongfang Hanxue nodded in agreement with her twin sister.
Suddenly, Su Mengyao asked him. “Big Bad Gege! Who is Anna?”
“Anna is a werewolf, but I left her in Beijing now.” Chen Li then told her. “She’s a slave to Alan, the vampire, and I won her over after beating him at a gamble, so she was living with us now.”
Su Mengyao shook her head helplessly after hearing that. “I still don’t understand why you can be so close to demons, even though they are all very evil, right?”
“Do you think Sacha is evil?” Chen Li asked her back.
“No.” Su Mengyao shook her head and said. “Aunt Sacha doesn’t look evil at all, but I’ve often read in that folklore that vampires and werewolves are very evil.”
Chen Li chuckled after hearing that. “Little Yao, demons are no different from us humans. Some are bad, but some are good, like Sacha, and Anna is not a bad werewolf either.”
“That’s true.” Su Mengyao replied with a nod of approval. “One evil human is Liang Xijian! He always forbids me from doing the things I like!”
“Why don’t you find another manager, Little Yao?” Feng Xian’er asked her.
Su Mengyao’s expression turned irritated upon hearing that. “I already asked the head of my agency to replace Liang Xijian with someone else, but she never listened to me, and she scolded me instead.”
“Don’t worry; I will help you get rid of Liang Xijian later.”
“Really?” Su Mengyao’s eyes lit up after hearing Chen Li’s words.
“Really.” Chen Li then carried Su Mengyao to leave the room. “Let’s take a walk in town first, and we’ll go to Disneyland tomorrow.”
