Tang Mansion.

At the door, Luo Kedi abruptly stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed at the scene before him, speechless.

The vermilion palace walls stretch endlessly, the palaces stand majestically, and the glazed tiles on the walls gleam brilliantly in the sunlight. The upturned eaves and corners exude a sense of nobility that is difficult for ordinary people to attain.

Earlier, he kept saying that Tang Ping's rented house must be in poor condition, and he advised him to bring Luo Xiaoyu to his home to recuperate.

After all, in his understanding, only a few thousand years had passed. According to the common sense of cultivation, Tang Ping wife were at most at the Universe Level. You have to know that in today's Earth where every inch of land is precious, Universe Level expert would be lucky to live in a house of 100 or 200 square meters.

Now he's starting to question the meaning of life.

After a while, he finally realized that the Tang Mansion, which had been rumored throughout the interstellar world to be the residence of a descendant of Venerable Giant, actually belonged to his own brother!

This is absolutely outrageous!

The current global hierarchy, while seemingly perfectly fair with even birth quotas auctioned off live, has never disappeared. Take luxury maternity wards, for example: many small islands in the Pacific Ocean have long been monopolized by legendary Venerable families, who transform these islands into dreamlike paradises.

Many powerful figures coveted this Tang Mansion in the past, but they were all refused by the Luo Family's higher-ups on the grounds of "special reservation." He was curious at the time what kind of important person received such treatment, never expecting that the owner was actually Tang Ping!

He genuinely didn't want his brother to live a life of hardship, but he never expected his brother's life to be this good!

A complex emotion welled up inside me, indescribable—whether it was envy or resentment, only two words remained:

It's awful!

After a long silence, Luo Kedi cautiously approached and asked, "Brother, what level have you and Sister Xiao Yu reached now?"

Some people just like to keep a low profile. Perhaps Tang Ping had already broken through to the legendary Domain Lord level, which is why the Luo Family was secretly giving him preferential treatment. You know, the Luo Family has always taken great care of their own people.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping's lips curled into a slight smile, "I am but a mere ninth-level Realm Lord."

Luo Kedi:???

He suspected there was something wrong with his ears, so he rubbed them vigorously, took a step forward, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, say it again? Is it you, or is it Sister Xiao Yu who's reached the ninth level of Realm Lord?"

It's important to know that, according to the latest official news from Earth, the highest-level cultivators currently on Earth are only three Domain Lord -level powerhouses: the Luo Family Head, Hong, and Thunder God! A ninth-level Realm Lord is already incredibly close to being Immortal God, enough to roam freely throughout the Milky Way Galaxy!

Tang Ping stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, and said proudly, "Sister Xiao Yu and I are both at the ninth level of the Realm Lord."

"Thump!"

With a muffled thud, Luo Kedi's legs buckled and he knelt down, his eyes filled with adoration and urgency. "Brother!"

Take me flying!

Tang Ping:----

How can everyone be so inconsiderate! Kneeling down like that, how shameless! It's outrageous!

Tang Ping had no choice but to reach out and forcibly pull Luo Kedi up, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, with Earth's current resources, you'll eventually save enough money to buy rare and precious materials, forcefully comprehend the laws, and one day you'll become a supreme realm lord."

Brother Kedi, the future is yours!

This comforting reassurance finally made Luo Kedi feel a little better.

He was still in a daze, his head buzzing. Although the Luo Family was now at the height of its power in the Milky Way Galaxy and even controlled weapons capable of dealing with World Lord Rank, the huge gap between his good brother, whom he hadn't seen for thousands of years, and who had become such a high-ranking figure, still made him feel heartbroken.

Waaaaah~

Then, the two walked into the mansion gate side by side, and a pleasant female voice came from the opposite direction.

"Honey, why are you home so early today?"

"This servant respectfully welcomes Your His Highness."

"Greetings, Your His Highness!"

Luo Kedi looked in the direction of the sound and was instantly shocked by the sight before him. More than a hundred stunningly beautiful women were lined up to greet him, each with a graceful figure. Three of them had slightly protruding bellies, clearly indicating that they were pregnant.

This scene suddenly reminded him of what Tang Ping had said at the dessert shop, "I still prefer the days of dedicated cultivation. Luo Feng Ancestor was able to endure life-and-death trials to pursue the Great Dao and glimpse the truth of the universe, and so can I, Tang Ping! As for worldly pleasures, they are nothing but fleeting clouds to me."

Are they talking about the same person?

Luo Kedi turned to look at Tang Ping blankly, his eyes filled with accusation that "you lied to me".

Tang Ping felt a little guilty under his gaze, then laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Hehe, brother, I was just joking before. Don't you know me? Enjoying life is the most important thing!"

Come on in for dinner! I've specially invited the best dance troupe from the Silver Blue Empire to perform for you. Let's drink until we drop tonight!

"Ugh, okay! Drink! I'm going to drink you out of house and home today!" Luo Kedi said through gritted teeth.

Half a day later, at the banquet, facing a mountain of top-quality wines on the table—the kind that supposedly gave one the chance to comprehend a domain— Luo Kedi drank until he vomited, without even finishing a single bottle.

Looking at the endless wine and the captivating songs and dances before him, Luo Kedi felt as if his heart had been stabbed: he felt even more miserable!

After seeing off the unconscious Luo Kedi, Tang Ping was in an Extreme Point good mood. He instructed the robot to clean the room, then embraced Huo Wu and Luo Xiaoyu on either side and walked towards the inner hall.

Sleep!

"You're so annoying, Third Brother!" Huo Wu playfully pushed him. "The experts said that although we are powerful cultivators, we still can't do strenuous exercise during pregnancy, as it will affect the baby."

What you should do now is provide prenatal education for your baby Tiantian, tell stories, and talk to them. This will help to awaken your baby's intelligence early.

Tang Ping was speechless: Really? That's amazing? He thought to himself, with that effort, it would be more practical to just buy some rare and precious herbs and directly upgrade the child's bloodline to the Domain Lord level.

But then I thought about it again, and it really wasn't easy for the two girls to conceive this time. The decline in their physical condition and the degeneration of their genes were minor issues; what was more difficult to endure was the pain they suffered and the mental torment of being filled with hope only to be disappointed time and time again.

My heart aches for you.

So, Tang Ping obediently embraced Huo Wu and Luo Xiaoyu on either side and began to display his "superb" eloquence, "This story begins five hundred years ago. There was a guy named Sun Wukong who secretly went to steal immortal peaches, but he was caught red-handed by Xie Yongqiang. That day, Yongqiang happened to be inspecting the orchard when he spotted Sun Wukong, went up and pinned him down, directly pressing him under Ivory Mountain."

"Who came then? Yu Gong came! Why? Because someone tested him with a question: There's a monkey on the mountain, and a monkey on the ground. How many monkeys are there in total?"

Without a second thought, Yu Gong said there were two monkeys, but the man said no, there was only one monkey, because the area below the mountain and underground were in the same place.

"Yu Gong refused to believe it, wondering how there could be only one monkey. He immediately decided to move the mountain to see how many there were. As a result, once the mountain was moved, there really was only one monkey! But now that the mountain was gone, what was Chen Xiang going to chop up? In a fit of anger, he was about to chop up Yu Gong."

"Yu Gong was so frightened that he ran away quickly, with Chen Xiang chasing after him. As he chased, Chen Xiang realized that Yu Gong couldn't run fast, so he got lazy and thought, 'He can't go far anyway, I'll take a nap first and then chase him.'"

And so, the Yu Gong, in a completely haphazard way, won first place in the race.

"When Yu Gong finished running, it was completely dark and he couldn't see anything. Just then, there was a Little Match Girl nearby. The little girl was calling out: 'Buy my matches, one match and you can see your grandma, two matches and you can see your ancestors!'"

Upon hearing this, Yu Gong immediately became interested and said, "Give me one," and lit one on the spot.

But as soon as the match was lit, a sense of confusion washed over me: what was I going to do in this foreign land without a single penny in my pocket?

He looked at the little girl and suddenly had an idea. "Your little match isn't bright enough, and it costs money, so why don't you come with me!" So the two of them went to steal light by chiseling a hole in the wall, but they were caught red-handed and sentenced to several years in prison.

Huo Wu:----

Luo Xiaoyu:----

A short while later, Tang Ping was kicked out of the room.

Left with no other option, he randomly chose a room with a Universe Level Elf Maid to stay in. The maid served him diligently, and in the end, she suddenly clung tightly to Tang Ping and wouldn't let go.

Hmm? Is this what they call making things difficult for someone?
