Wen Xia sighed in disappointment after she couldn’t find Chen Li beside her, but she heard some noises from outside. She immediately ran out of the bedroom to check, but she found him preparing breakfast while watching TV.
“Hmm? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I thought you just left without telling me.” Wen Xia answered as she approached Chen Li, but she frowned after seeing the news, especially since there were many demonstrations throughout the city. “What have you actually done? Why are all those people holding such chaotic demonstrations?”
“I revealed their crimes to the public, and the public was furious toward them.” Chen Li casually answered and put a few sandwiches on the table, and Wen Xia immediately took one because she was really hungry after their night’s activities. “Those people will disappear forever after this, and the situation in this city will change completely.”
“The demonstrations will definitely last for several days, and their actions will also affect many sectors.” Wen Xia then turned to him. “Anyway, you founded your companies to take revenge on them, right? Since you have succeeded in taking revenge on them, they are no longer useful.”
“I founded my companies not only to take revenge on them, but I also have long-term goals. However, I will not tell you my goals for now, and I will tell you in the future.” Wen Xia didn’t say anything about it, especially since she realized that she was just Chen Li’s employee and sex friend, so she didn’t intend to dig too deep into his personal life. “Since you’re awake, I’ll go somewhere else now, and I’ll leave the pharmaceutical company matters to you.”
“Wait a minute!” Wen Xia immediately stopped Chen Li. “You still haven’t told me the name of your pharmaceutical company, and I have to take care of registering the name before we start marketing our products.”
“Qingshui Zhiyao! You can register the name.”
After he said that, Chen Li immediately disappeared from Wen Xia’s sight through the Void Tunnel, causing her to sigh.

Moments later, Chen Li had arrived at Liu Zhen’s house, especially since he had promised Liu Ling’er to talk to her, but he naturally already knew what she wanted to talk to him about.
When he arrived there, Chen Li only found Liu Ying and Liu Ling’er talking in the living room, and Liu Zhen had left early in the morning to calm down the college students who wanted to join the demonstrations.
Liu Ying immediately pulled Chen Li to sit beside her and asked him. “Can Ling’er become a cultivator like us?”
“Yes.” Chen Li replied as he looked at Liu Ling’er. “Honestly, you have profound veins, so you can become a cultivator like us, but-”
“But what?” Liu Ying impatiently interrupted him, for she really wanted her cousin to become a cultivator like them, so she could protect herself better. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.
Chen Li sighed softly and answered Liu Ying directly. “You know that I would never teach others to be like cultivators, right? I taught you and Uncle Zhen to become cultivators because of our relationship, and Ling’er is an outsider to me.”
Liu Ling’er looked disappointed after she heard that, but she was also aware of her position, as she was just Chen Li’s former schoolmate and nothing more.
“But-”
“Sister Ying, I know how you feel, but I can’t teach Ling’er to cultivate.” Chen Li immediately stopped Liu Ying. “Moreover, she won’t be able to cultivate on earth, and I won’t bring an outsider into my private space.”
However, Liu Ying didn’t want to give up so easily, and she asked Chen Li again. “Then what about Li Xue, Guo Qing, and the others? Aren’t they also outsiders like Ling’er?”
“You’re not wrong about that.” Chen Li answered by nodding. “However, I have known them since we were very small, and our families have also had a very good relationship for a long time, so they are like my own family.”
Liu Ying naturally knew about their relationship and glanced at Liu Ling’er for a moment, and her expression made her unable to give up, so she tried to persuade Chen Li again. “Please don’t be like this and make an exception for her. Although she is an outsider, she is a good girl, and I dare to guarantee that she will not reveal anything to others. Moreover, you already know about her plight, so I beg you to teach her to become a cultivator; only then can she protect herself from Luo Jingtian.”
Seeing Chen Li continue to hesitate, Liu Ling said to her cousin. “Sister Ying, you don’t need to beg him anymore; it doesn’t matter if I don’t become a cultivator like you guys, and I still have my superpower to protect myself.”
“No.” Liu Ying then took Chen Li’s hand and spoke to him again. “Do you really have the heart to let her continue to suffer? Ling’er’s parents will continue to force her to marry Luo Jingtian, so she needs strength to fight them, and you can help her by allowing her to become a cultivator like us.”
[Hubby! Sister Ying is right; Ling’er is a kind-hearted and trustworthy girl, so I think it’s fine if you teach her to cultivate.] Suddenly, Feng Xian’er spoke into Chen Li’s mind, especially since she was in the Tianyi Realm, which is why she can listen to their conversation.
Chen Li did not refute his wife’s words, and he asked her. ‘Why do you want Ling’er to become a cultivator like us?’
[Hehe, you should already know the answer, right?] Chen Li was speechless after hearing that, and Feng Xian’er spoke to him again. [Even if she doesn’t become a member of your harem in the future, there’s no harm in helping her, right? At least, you can give her a way to control her own life, and she won’t have to feel pressured by her parents’ insistence on marrying Luo Jingtian.]
In the end, Chen Li gave in to their persuasion, and he then said to Liu Ling’er. “I will send you into my private space right now, and Xian’er is waiting for you inside to teach you how to cultivate.”
“Really?” Liu Ling’er was surprised to hear Chen Li’s decision. “Are you really going to allow me to become a cultivator?”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded and immediately sent Liu Ling’er into Tianyi Realm before turning to Liu Ying. “Are you satisfied with my decision?”
“Haha.” Liu Ying laughed at that. “Since you have granted my wish, I will give you a reward.”
Chen Li wanted to ask her, but Liu Ying suddenly held his head and kissed his lips, and he naturally wouldn’t waste his chance. He pulled her closer, hugged her slender waist, and returned her kiss.
Even so, Chen Li didn’t do anything else to her, especially since he realized that Liu Ying was still not ready to be his woman, and he separated their lips after they kissed for some time. “I like your gift, and I will wait for you to surrender yourself to me.”
“En.” Liu Ying just nodded and laid her head on Chen Li’s shoulder. “Please give me a little more time, and I will hand myself over to you once I am fully ready.”
“I know.” Chen Li then said to her. “Since you don’t have anything else to do, and school is still on holiday, you should follow them to the Seven Moon Realm to train with them.”
“All right.” Liu Ying replied with an affirmative nod. “In that case, I’ll go there right now, and you can tell my father later.”
After Liu Ying entered the Tianyi Realm, Chen Li immediately left the house, and he went directly to the Long House. However, he didn’t find Tang Wan there, but he saw Jin Kang relaxing in the front room. “Even though Long Jiuxiao has fallen now, I want you to stay in this house, and you must protect Tang Wan from anyone who wants to harm her. Do you understand?”
Jin Kang smiled bitterly and nodded to him. “I understand. I will stay here to protect her.”
“That’s good.” Chen Li then asked him. “Where is Tang Wan now?”
“The police called her and informed her about Long Aotian, so she went there to check her son’s condition.”
Without saying a word, Chen Li immediately disappeared from Jin Kang’s sight, and he muttered to himself. “That guy is truly insane! He managed to destroy those families single-handedly, and he even made the government powerless to confront him.”

Meanwhile, Chen Li had arrived at the prison, and he immediately hugged Tang Wan, who was sobbing from behind, surprising her. “As I promised you, I did not kill Long Aotian, but this is the limit of my mercy.”
“I know.” Tang Wan replied as she leaned against Chen Li’s chest. “Even though I’m really sad to see my son in prison, this is much better than having him die in your hands, and I hope he will become a better man after he serves his sentence.”
But alas, Tang Wan still didn’t know that Long Aotian was her slave now, and Chen Li didn’t intend to tell her about it either.
Chen Li then said to her. “Anyway, I’m going far away right now, but I’ll see you again in a week.”
“All right.” Tang Wan just nodded and didn’t ask him anything, and Chen Li went straight into Tianyi Realm before going to Seven Moon Realm directly.
