"Anle" in Daily Life

As Tang Ping once again set foot on familiar land in the Solar System, his tense mind finally relaxed completely.

Only in this home star system could he truly feel unparalleled peace. Here, he didn't need to guard against the open and hidden attacks of the universe, and he could freely unleash his terrifying power, unmatched by anyone.

This kind of stability is the most precious thing in the world.

Of course, he was never one to indulge in comfort; he was a young man of the new era with aspirations and ideals. The vast majority of his consciousness was still immersed in the Initial Universe, comprehending the remaining Venerable Level secret techniques while studying the Space Law.

Although the elders within the clan suspected that the interference between the higher laws would likely keep him stuck at the final step for a long time, for Tang Ping, this obstacle was far from insurmountable.

It's not a big problem.

At this moment, the other two clones had already rushed to the Blood Fiend Secret Realm.

For Tang An, Tang Yue, Tang Hao, and Liu Hui, this meant that the "treatment services" they had been waiting for had finally come to an end: their father had returned!

"Dad!"

As soon as Tang Ping appeared at the teleportation array in his private Cultivation Room, three figures immediately surrounded him.

Tang An stepped forward first, his gaze carefully sweeping over his father. Only after confirming that his breathing was steady and his body was intact did his tense shoulders relax. "It's good that you're alright. We've been worried about you these past few days."

Tang Guo, who was standing nearby, handed him a cup of warm Spirit Liquid: "Dad, this is a nourishing Spirit Liquid that we specially prepared for you. Please drink some to replenish your strength."

Tang Yiyi didn't say much, she just stood quietly to the side.

Tang Ping took the Spirit Liquid and drank it all in one gulp, a perfect blend of exhaustion and relief on his face. "I'm sorry to have worried you. This 'treatment' wasn't easy, but being able to come back and be with you makes it all worthwhile."

He reached out and ruffled Tang Guo's hair, then patted Tang An and Tang Yiyi on the shoulders, praising them, "I know about your experiences during this time; you've done very well, even better than I expected."

Tang An achieved a victory against overwhelming odds in the practical assessment, Tang Guo made a breakthrough in her comprehension of secret techniques, and Tang Yiyi's teamwork skills were also excellent. You have all grown up and haven't let your father down."

Hearing the praise, the eyes of the three children lit up, and even the fatigue from the daily training seemed to dissipate.

Tang An's lips curled slightly upward, but his tone remained calm. "We still have a long way to go, but we will continue to work hard."

The two daughters lowered their heads shyly.

Tang Ping chuckled inwardly, but his expression grew even more solemn. "It's good that you have this spirit. The trials over the next few thousand years will be even more difficult, but I believe you can get through them."

Remember, if you're tired or weary, tell your dad. Dad will always be your support.

He wasn't just talking nonsense. According to the script he had already planned, he needed to precisely control the pace over the next few thousand years: he needed to make "progress" far exceeding that of his children to make them feel a sense of urgency; but he couldn't make progress too fast or too exaggerated, lest they completely lose confidence.

We should also promptly "encourage" them when they are down and provide timely "guidance" when they are confused, continuously offering them emotional support.

He even had a backup plan: if his children couldn't hold on and were about to break down, he would "collapse" first, either collapsing to the ground and weeping bitterly, or beating his chest and blaming himself, saying, "Dad is useless, I can't help you," taking his "sadness and pain" to the extreme.

When the time comes, the children will naturally cheer up when they see that even their father is in such a "misery".

Humans are afraid of comparison. As long as there are people worse off than themselves, their emotions can be comforted. This is the "emotional value code" that those "King Rank package" (referring to products designed to boost morale) have been researching for countless years.

Over the years, he has put in a lot of effort, reading "An Actor Prepares" and "The Psychology of Performance" countless times. He has also combined the mystical arts of the universe to develop his own "performance techniques." To this day, his children have not noticed anything unusual.

Hmph, please call me Emperor Tang!

As for the other clone, he faced Liu Hui.

This kid is easygoing and has an absurdly good attitude. The clan's experts had already assessed that as long as Tang Ping suffers with him, even if he is punished and beaten by the Soul Hall's instructors every day, this kid will still be happy and maintain a good mood.

That's great; no acting skills are needed at all.

But thinking of this, Tang Ping felt a chill run down his spine.

Tang Ping silently made another entry in his Little Notebook. Does this kid even know how much suffering he's endured over the years, or how he's managed to get by?

He'll make sure he pays me back all these debts when he becomes immortal!

Venerable Level being possesses a powerful consciousness, and multi-threaded thinking is as simple as eating and drinking.

His interaction with his children and Liu Hui had just ended when his thoughts drifted back to his cultivation progress in the Initial Universe, only to be instantly pulled back to reality. The Blood Fiend Secret Realm could proceed according to the script; the matters in the Solar System were far more important.

What he cared about most was the result of the previous Galaxy Beauty Pageant.

With a thought, Tang Ping's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe. He scanned the information with anticipation, but was slightly taken aback: in addition to routine official information, there were several emails that were both unfamiliar and familiar.

One letter from Luo Feng's wife, Xu Xin; one letter from Luo Feng's son, Luo Ping; and an invitation to eat, drink, and have fun from that guy Luo Kedi.

There were over five hundred letters, including one from a guy who had been arrested for the eighth time in a "prostitution crackdown" by the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, pleading for help to get him out.

Tang Ping was speechless for a moment. He casually replied to Luo Kedi with "I'll definitely do it next time," then opened Luo Ping's email. The email only asked, "Are you there? I want to talk about something." After seeing that he had set his auto-reply to "closed," there was no further communication.

Finally, he opened Xu Xin's email, which said that Luo Feng was not around, and that the Luo Family and the Ross Family had recently had a business conflict, so he was asked to act as a mediator and mediate.

After reading the contents, Tang Ping frowned.

He clearly remembered that his sword strike had precisely annihilated 90% of the King Jiantuo's divine body. Logically, the opponent should have fallen into a deep sleep. At the time, he was quite pleased with himself, feeling that his swordsmanship had reached its pinnacle, leaving exactly 10% of the divine body intact, which was neither too ruthless nor too cruel, but also ensured that the opponent was completely free of threat.

However, Xu Xin's email stated that the King Jiantuo had not only awakened but was also frequently active within his tribe.

Tang Ping immediately entered the chat group of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's senior management and checked the recent chat history.

A moment later, he suddenly realized that King Jiantuo had been saved by his master Venerable Jin Zhou. Venerable Jin Zhou had even inquired within the clan about who had a grudge against his disciple, hoping to persuade the other party to give him face and resolve the feud.

According to the rules of the Human Race Territory, the strong are respected, and as long as the weak are not slaughtered indiscriminately, most personal grudges can be settled privately.

So what if they were killed?

Even a disciple at the King Level would be useful to Venerable One, and given Venerable Jin Zhou's long history and wide circle of friends, it was assumed that someone would give him face.

Unexpectedly, after asking around, no one came forward to claim responsibility, and the matter was eventually dropped.

Of course, this rule only applies within the Human Race Territory. If it is on Outer Battlefield, the Hong Alliance will require all members to unite against external threats. If internal strife is discovered, it will be dealt with according to military law, severely punished, and no matter how far away, the perpetrators will be brought to justice!

Tang Ping pondered for a moment, then a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Since this King Jiantuo is so ungrateful, he has already chosen his own path to death!

Murder is just a matter of death, but as a human being, one should always seek justice.

Offering help in times of need is more appreciated than adding to someone's success; more importantly, you need to let the other person know how much effort you put into providing that help.

Otherwise, how can people be genuinely grateful? If you immediately say "it's nothing" or "it's not worth mentioning," others will only think your help is insignificant, and they won't remember your kindness.

That's reality. Sometimes, you go to great lengths to help someone, only to have them feel cheated by a casual, polite remark.

As a seasoned professional, Tang Ping naturally understood these things. He immediately sat down and carefully drafted an email, addressed to "Xu Xin".

[The Lord's Mother's Revelation:]

Hope you are well.

Having read your letter, I am aware of King Jiantuo's situation; Madam need not worry.

Looking back, I, Tang Ping, owe my success today largely to the care and support of the Luo Family. I will always remember this kindness.

Moreover, Luo Feng and I are both members of the Falling Ink Star, brothers who have risked our lives together and closest friends. This friendship has long transcended the mundane. Not to mention that Uncle Hong Guo and I are also comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the virtual game, sharing the same heart and soul.

Now that the Luo Family is in trouble and King Jiantuo is eyeing them covetously, how can I stand idly by?

Although King Jiantuo is a powerful figure who has been granted the title of King Rank, his strength is not much different from mine. Moreover, we are both Human Race, so I must take into account the rules of our race when I make a move. However, if he dares to harm the Luo Family, I will definitely do my best to eliminate this scourge for the Luo Family.

This is my duty, and I cannot shirk it!

However, it is necessary to explain to the matriarch that a battle King Level experts has far-reaching consequences and the outcome is unpredictable. More importantly, King Jiantuo has Venerable Jin Zhou as his backer, Venerable power far surpasses that of King Rank -level expert.

My intervention this time may offend Venerable Jin Zhou. If this leads to unforeseen circumstances and harms myself, I hope the Luo Family will make preparations in advance.

Furthermore, if anything unforeseen happens, I still have a wife and children who need my care. Their cultivation is still shallow and they are not capable of dealing with the storms of the universe. If my mistress and Brother Luo Feng are able, I hope they can take care of them and protect them.

This is my personal request, and I hope the mistress will understand.

That concludes my statement. I will handle the matter of King Jiantuo with all my might. I await further instructions from the Mistress.

Tang Ping bows deeply.

The email was sent successfully. Tang Ping smiled smugly, then called out loudly, "Fang Shu!! Summon all the maids. It's been a long time. I miss my family even more during festivals. I need to comfort and comfort these little sisters."

A moment later, the sounds of music and dance rose from the magnificent Platinum Temple, interspersed with Tang Ping's shouts, "Come! Drink with me! Finish this cup, and I'll reward you with a million Black Dragon Coin! The more you drink, the more I'll reward you!"

The women's coquettish chirping could be heard from time to time.

"Your Majesty, sing a song—stop touching it, your clothes are pilling!"

Half a day later, the notification sound for the virtual video call rang.

Tang Ping answered the call casually, and when he saw that the person on the screen was Xu Xin, he immediately suppressed his lewd expression, sat up straight, and pushed away the women who were clinging to him.

"Mistress."

--

Xu Xin's gaze lingered on Tang Ping for a moment, and she felt quite moved.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Now that the Luo Family is facing a true King Rank expert, who may even be connected to Venerable Level being, many in the clan are advising her to take a step back and let things be.

Little did they know that in the power struggle between major forces, taking a step back would mean falling into an abyss. The Luo Family's current business empire was already the envy of countless people, and if they showed weakness, they would be the ones to be pushed down by everyone when the wall falls.

Although Tang Ping was known for his lust and laziness, which she had never been fond of, this time she was truly speechless and ready to help when needed.

He had just finished his seclusion when he heard that the Luo Family was in trouble, and he was willing to do anything to help them. This sense of loyalty is truly rare. It seems that I really misjudged him before.

"King Anle, I've come to see you today to discuss some matters." Xu Xin's tone was dignified and composed, displaying the demeanor of the Luo Family Head.

He held his position, cultivated his spirit, and ruled the Luo Family for nearly ten thousand years. His associates were all immortal and powerful figures, and his conversations were with cosmic heroes.

She is no longer the naive girl who fell in love with Luo Feng, but the Luo Family Head, whose every word and action can shake the business landscape of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

In business battles, she is ruthless and decisive; in ordinary times, she is dignified and poised, and her every move is like a gentle breeze.

Seeing this, Tang Ping waved his hand.

Fang Shu immediately understood and led the group of women out quietly, instantly restoring peace to the hall.

After everyone left, Tang Ping spoke directly, "Madam, you want to know when to make our move, right? How about today? I'll have Fang Shu heat up a cup of wine and wait for us. I'll be right back, and you can have a warm drink to warm yourself up when you return."

Xu Xin:

Can't this kid change his habit of bragging?

Both were powerful figures at the King Rank, their strength roughly equal. Moreover, the King Jiantuo was currently hiding in the Jin Zhou Secret Realm. What right did he have to kill them so easily? Did he really intend to emulate the ancient story of warming wine before beheading Hua Xiong, and by that chance, he would have killed the King Jiantuo?

Xu Xin was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "That's not necessary. Right now, both sides are still in the normal stage of business competition. I emailed you before for two reasons: first, to ask about Brother Feng's recent situation, and second, because I was worried that the Ross Family might use unfair business tactics, so I was making preparations in advance."

"Oh, I see." Tang Ping suddenly understood and waved his hand. "That's a small matter. I'll send an email to King Jiantuo in a bit and explain to him that we should compete fairly."

As for Fengzi's current situation—this involves tribal secrets, as you, Madam, know. The methods of Alien Race are unpredictable and cunning; the fewer people who know, the safer it is. Therefore, I cannot tell you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin felt a pang of sorrow welling up in her heart.

She's Feng's lawfully wedded wife, so how come Tang Ping, a junior, knows about Feng's current situation, while she, his legal wife, knows nothing?

Who exactly is his bedmate?

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Tang Ping changed the subject, promising, "Don't worry, Madam, I will prepare a Star Leaf for each of the key figures in the Luo Family."

This leaf contains a Divine Power my divine power. In case of emergency, I can crush the leaf and know what's happening. Within the Milky Way Galaxy, I Teleportation there instantly; for places too far, I will use my God Kingdom Teleportation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin's brows relaxed, and she nodded solemnly. "In that case, thank you very much, King Anle."

Hang up the video call.

In a secluded spot, Xu Xin remained motionless for a long time, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, her heart filled with emotion.

Now that Luo Feng is nowhere to be found, the entire Luo Family is left to face a powerful King Rank expert alone, and possibly even a Venerable force behind him. The pressure is almost suffocating her.

Only by truly standing in the position of the Luo Family Head can one understand the weight behind the words "King Rank." It is an invincible existence that can make countless star fields tremble and make billions of mortal beings bow their heads in fear. Every word and action can determine the rise and fall of a region, and every gesture can stir up cosmic storms.

"Thank goodness—" Xu Xin murmured softly, feeling somewhat relieved. "Now the Luo Family finally has two powerful figures who have reached the King Rank level. In this critical moment, Tang Ping really proves to be reliable. When Brother Feng returns, I'll definitely have to talk to him about this."

The thought had barely formed in her mind when she suddenly paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes. "Wait a minute, Tang Ping always addressed Brother Feng respectfully as 'Master of the Family,' so why did he casually call him 'Fengzi' during the call just now?"

Thinking of this, Xu Xin's lips curled up slightly. "This kid is getting arrogant again. Once Brother Feng finishes his seclusion this time, I'll definitely show him what Human Race genius, one in a million eras, is all about!"

Sometimes, level of understanding is one thing, but true strength is not just about the level of understanding one possesses!

"Snort!"
