"Hmm, a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. But why is it this little one? Shouldn't her mother have already fully transformed into a human?" Lan Yingying was very curious as to why Xiao Wu wasn't with her mother, who had already completed her transformation, but had instead run to the home of a human Title Douluo.

"Oh, that? Her mother became my wife's spirit ring."

Nan Xuan's tone, as if he had just suddenly remembered, left Lan Yingying speechless.

"Don't look at me like that. Humans and spirit beasts have always been this way; it can't be changed, at least not for now." Facing Lan Yingying's gaze, Nan Xuan said with a hint of helplessness.

Lan Yingying understood the logic, but seeing a beast she had met a few times before become a spirit ring still left her with mixed feelings.

"Hey, hey, open the door, I'm back."

A young girl's voice came from outside.

Lan Yingying walked over, opened the door, and guessed immediately that it was Liu Mumu who had returned.

"Yo, the great scholar is back." Nan Xuan, seeing this Green Willow Heart Wood with a thirst for knowledge return today, teased her on purpose.

"What of it? Not welcome?" Liu Mumu retorted upon hearing Nan Xuan's tone.

"How could that be? Besides, I'm not the one cooking today anyway." Nan Xuan cast a glance toward Lan Yingying.

"Eat by yourself tonight. The two of us are going straight back into the spirit ring." Now that Lan Yingying had an ally in her camp, her courage was naturally much greater.

Nan Xuan's face darkened. You two are ruthless.

"Mumu, don't mind this guy. Come to my room and tell me where you've been playing these past few years." Lan Yingying pulled Liu Mumu toward her room.

In the afternoon, just as Tang San was preparing to cook, he discovered there was no rice.

I'm so frustrated.

Tang San's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he roared internally: "Dad, you're a Title Douluo, can't you earn some decent money? It's the first time I've brought a girl home, and there's no rice in the house. What do you expect me to do? What am I supposed to do?"

After thinking it over, Tang San made a decision.

"Uncle, Uncle Nan Xuan, I need to talk to you about something." Tang San could only tell Xiao Wu he had some business at the neighbor's house before heading over to borrow rice.

"Oh? You must be Tang San, right?" Liu Mumu, who hadn't been home for a few years, opened the door for Tang San and let him in.

"Are you... Sister Liu Mumu?" Tang San still had some impression of this sister.

"You still remember me? Not bad at all." Liu Mumu said happily.

"Wait, what is that bag you're holding?" Liu Mumu noticed the sack in Tang San's hand while she was smiling.

"San, stop worrying about cooking. Bring your little girlfriend over to eat with us. We're heading out for business tomorrow and don't know when we'll be back, so let's just have a meal together." Nan Xuan looked at Tang San standing at the door and said with a smile.

"Ah, this." Tang San was still a bit hesitant, but considering they were leaving tomorrow and had always been decent to him, it would be rude to refuse.

So, he had no choice but to agree.

That night, Tang San brought Xiao Wu to Nan Xuan's house.

The sensible Xiao Wu felt quite a bit of pressure.

Nan Xuan invited the two kids to dinner mainly so Xiao Wu would get to know them better; once they were familiar, it wouldn't be as painful when the time came to take action later.

In Nan Xuan's house, at a square table, the three of them sat on one side each, while the two little ones sat together on the fourth.

"San, falling in love so early isn't exactly a good thing. You are the only spirit master in our village, after all." Nan Xuan said with a smile.

Being teased by Nan Xuan like this, both little ones felt quite shy.

"It's not like that, Uncle Nan Xuan, don't talk nonsense. Xiao Wu is my little sister." Tang San explained, stammering.

Xiao Wu sat to the side, burying her head in eating carrot slices, too shy to speak.

"What's wrong? Not cultivating your own wife now? Do you want to be a bachelor for life like you?" Liu Mumu deliberately poked at Nan Xuan's obvious sore spot.

Nan Xuan could only smile without saying a word. I don't have a wife? My wife is the Pope.

"Ah, so you two sisters aren't Uncle Nan Xuan's lovers?" Xiao Wu seemed to have grasped the main point, looking up and asking in surprise.

"What lovers? We're just his cousins. Otherwise, why would San call us sisters and call him 'Uncle'? Age is only part of it; the main thing is that our relationship is just that of brother and sister." Lan Yingying gave Nan Xuan a look of annoyance.

What does this have to do with me? Is it my fault for resurrecting you two? Nan Xuan was speechless.

"Oh, so your relationship is the same as mine and San's—just brother and sister." Xiao Wu said innocently, a crescent-moon smile appearing on her face.

"Cough, cough." Hearing this, Nan Xuan couldn't keep his composure. This isn't something that should be said. Wait, my persona is going to collapse.

"What's wrong, Cousin?" Liu Mumu asked, deeply immersed in her role.

"Oh, I choked a little." Nan Xuan said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

At this moment, Tang San asked, "Uncle, where are you planning to go for business tomorrow?"

Tang San was quite interested in the trade routes of this world.

Of course, he was even more interested in Nan Xuan himself.

"Us? We plan to form a caravan and travel around the continent. It might not make a lot of money, but as you know, I like to have fun." Nan Xuan explained with a smile.

This explanation reminded Tang San of the wandering knights in the storybooks of his previous life, wielding swords and roaming the world.

"Then, once you leave, I'm afraid you won't be back for a while, right?" Tang San continued to ask.

"That's right." Nan Xuan replied with a relaxed expression.

Tang San thought to himself, you answer easily enough, but if I go home after school like this, what will happen to my rice and my Network World?

But in the end, Tang San still smilingly wished them a safe journey.

Early the next morning, the carriage hired by Nan Xuan arrived at Holy Soul Village, and he left with Liu Mumu and Lan Yingying.

Tang San also got up extra early that morning to bid farewell to his internet speed.

Inside the carriage.

"Nan Xuan, where are we going now?" Lan Yingying asked curiously.

"To the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, of course." The handsome-looking Nan Xuan lay back in the carriage and stated the route he had planned long ago.

The first thing Nan Xuan did after leaving Holy Soul Village was to restore his youthful appearance; in Holy Soul Village, he was just an ordinary person who would age, but now, he was a peerless Douluo, and his age only represented his maturity.

As the carriage passed the outskirts of Iron Box Village, Nan Xuan glanced outside once more.

He had visited the village chief of Iron Box Village, Nan Lu, a few days ago; the old man was living well, at least well enough to wait for the day he became a god.

"Heaven Dou Empire, there is a Network World reality service port there; I assume that is where you intend to go," Liu Mumu said with a look of certainty.

"Yo, it seems you've gained some knowledge over these past few years," Nan Xuan teased.

Liu Mumu snorted and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

A week later, Nan Xuan and his group arrived at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Nan Xuan did not choose to sightsee in the capital first; instead, he had the carriage drive directly to the building housing the Network World reality service port.

The three of them got off the carriage.

"It's been a long time since I've been to a city; it really has a unique flavor," Nan Xuan sighed.

Passersby who noticed Nan Xuan's reaction simply called out, "Country bumpkin."

"Pfft, hahaha." Liu Mumu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Beside her, Lan Yingying was also covering her mouth, giggling softly.

Nan Xuan gave an awkward smile and then walked into the building.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the receptionist asked politely as she watched Nan Xuan walk in.

It actually looks quite professional, was Nan Xuan's first impression.

"I'm looking for your President Chen; just tell him Brother Xuan has arrived," Nan Xuan said with a smile.

"Very well, sir. I will send a message to President Chen's secretary. If they receive the message and confirm that he agrees to see you, we will have someone take you up," the receptionist said after entering her Network World to send a message, then returning to address Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan nodded and walked to the waiting room, choosing not to make things difficult for the receptionist.

"If only there were a computer," Nan Xuan said thoughtfully as he watched the receptionist's earlier actions.

Nan Xuan felt that this was all too troublesome; although his income was high this way, it was a problem for netizens to use it. If it could be simplified, perhaps he could earn another wave of faith points.

Nan Xuan didn't wait long before Chen Gao hurried down from the 15th floor.

"Brother Xuan, this is a bit sudden," Chen Gao said, looking at Nan Xuan and giving him a hug with a smile.

"If I didn't come suddenly, how would I inspect the work?" Nan Xuan replied with a smile.

The two let go of each other; it had been 13 years since they last met. Although they could meet in the Network World, it was nothing like meeting in reality.

"Come, this isn't the place to chat; let's head up first," Chen Gao said, pulling Nan Xuan along before looking at Lan Yingying and Liu Mumu behind them.

"Brother Xuan, look, this is the Soul Power Elevator you designed. I've been using it quite well," Chen Gao said, pointing to the closed iron door in front of them.

"It is quite good, but my design is still the best," Nan Xuan praised himself without hesitation.

Just as Nan Xuan wanted to try the Soul Power Elevator, the door opened.

"Yo, Shi Qiaoyue, long time no see," Nan Xuan said with a smile as he greeted the woman walking out of the elevator.

"Nan Xuan, I knew it was you. You're the only one who could make Chen Gao call someone Brother Xuan." The 30-year-old Shi Qiaoyue had long white hair draped over her shoulders, and her oval face looked just as lovely as it had in the past.
