A Cozy Morning on Mount Paozu
The first rays of dawn slanted across the mountaintop of Mount Paozu, casting a soft golden hue over the verdant landscape.
The damp woods carried the scent of last night's dew, which drifted across the courtyard on the breeze, bringing with it a cool and refreshing fragrance. The flagstone path under the grape trellis was spotless, and a few unnamed wildflowers quietly bloomed in the corner of the wall.
The door creaked open slightly.
Qin Feng, dressed in a dry and casual gray cotton-padded house jacket, strolled out of the house leisurely.
He stretched his arms, his body radiating no earth-shattering battle aura, nor did he exude any overwhelming pressure. Yet, it was precisely this seemingly calm and peaceful figure who set the most ironclad rule for the entire universe.
Not long after, soft footsteps sounded behind me.
Android 18 wore a light brown long knitted cardigan over a soft, light-colored cotton dress, her pale golden hair casually styled in a bun. Nourished by countless Sacred World of the Kais treasures and the essence of heaven and earth, her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes and brows exuded an indescribable gentleness and contentment.
"Honey, are you admiring the scenery in the yard so early in the morning?"
Android 18 walked slowly to Qin Feng's side, naturally wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her face against his broad back.
Qin Feng turned around, casually pulled his wife into his arms, and gently kissed her delicate forehead and soft lips, then spoke with a smile:
"I could look at the scenery of Mount Paozu for years without getting tired of it, especially with my wife by my side."
Android 18 felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her beautiful eyes crinkling slightly, and she playfully slapped him:
"You're so sweet-talking. You know perfectly well that it was the Grand Priest who came over yesterday and talked about the Chaos Sea."
Qin Feng held his wife tighter in his arms, inhaling the delicate fragrance of her hair, and casually shook his head.
"It's just an old, dilapidated puddle from the past. That shorty Grand Zeno a coward; he thinks everything he sees is going to turn upside down. In my eyes, it's just a matter of a punch. If any foolish bastard dares to crawl out of there and disturb our lives, I'll just wipe him out."
Hearing these domineering yet incredibly natural words, Android 18 pressed against his chest, a reassuring smile spreading across her lips.
Being with this man, it seems there's never any need to worry about destruction or catastrophe. Because he himself is the most indestructible bulwark in the entire universe.
"Honey, what do you want to eat today? I'll make it for you." Android 18 looked up and asked gently.
Qin Feng squeezed her delicate little hand and said with a mischievous smile:
"I love anything my wife cooks. But after dinner, how about we go fishing and soak up some sun in the hills behind the mountain?"
"Okay, whatever you say." Android 18 replied sweetly and turned to go into the kitchen.
While everything on Mount Paozu was peaceful and serene, deep within the Zeno's Palace, the atmosphere was heavy.
Above the vast Supreme Temple, the water mirror is fixedly locked onto that chaotic and desolate land at the end of time and space.
What was once a dark and Void boundary of spacetime has now been cracked open, revealing massive fissures spanning billions of light-years. Ancient, savage, and violent auras rise from the depths of these fissures like billowing smoke!
That was the Grand Cosmic Primordial Chaos Sea, dormant for countless epochs!
The Grand Zeno clutched the corner of his divine robe tightly with his little hands, his round eyes filled with unease, and asked in a childish voice:
"Grand Priest... Qin Feng really saying he won't do anything? What if... what if those chaotic demons inside break out?"
The Grand Priest stood to one side, his posture elegant yet his expression solemn.
He bowed slightly and began to speak in a steady voice:
"Rest assured, Lord Grand Zeno -King. Lord Qin Feng said that the mere Chaos Sea cannot cause any waves. Since Lord Qin Feng has spoken, it means that the entire universe is under his will."
"But... but those ancient demons don't recognize Qin Feng!" the Grand Zeno muttered to himself. "If they provoke Qin Feng, they'll get a severe beating, won't they?"
The Grand Priest gave a wry smile:
"If any demonic creature were to foolishly disturb Lord Qin Feng and his wife's peace... their fate would likely be a hundred times more tragic than that of Luohou and Mechikabura back then."
The Grand Zeno Kings thought about Qin Feng's Dragon Fist that shattered the Universe Tree, and couldn't help but shudder. He quickly muttered to himself:
"Well... hopefully those demons will be more discerning. I don't want to see Qin Feng lose his temper again."
Behind Mount Paozu, beside a lake with shimmering blue waters.
A gentle breeze swept across the lake, creating ripples of golden light.
Qin Feng sat comfortably in a chair under a parasol, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand.
On the Android 18, she changed into a refreshing short-sleeved shirt and jeans, her long, beautiful legs crossed, and sat next to Qin Feng, peeling clean grapes and feeding them to Qin Feng one by one.
"Honey, did you get a bite? Did any fish take the bait?" Android 18 asked softly, looking at the calm lake surface.
Qin Feng swallowed the sweet grape and grinned:
"Fishing is about the state of mind. I could catch all the fish in the lake in a single thought, but that wouldn't be fun. The joy of life lies in this leisurely waiting."
Android 18 chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes filled with touching affection:
"You always have so many reasons."
Just as the couple were enjoying their rare fishing time, two extremely pure golden rays of light suddenly rose from the direction of the courtyard!
Cutting through the sky, Son Goku and Vegeta descended one after the other, landing lightly beside the lake.
At this moment, the two were filled with battle aura, yet they held it back. Having experienced the enlightenment of the mortal world, they had not only successfully stepped into the threshold of Super Saiyan 5, but the aura of their physical origins was also as steady as a mountain.
"Mr. Qin Feng! Android 18! We've come to see you!" Son Goku greeted him in a boisterous manner.
Vegeta also stepped forward and bowed in greeting:
"Lord Qin Feng, Your Majesty's wife."
Qin Feng didn't even turn his head, still staring at the buoy on the water's surface, and casually began to speak:
"You two, coming up to the back mountain so early in the morning, you scared all the fish in my lake away."
Son Goku scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled.
"Mr. Qin Feng, we didn't mean it! But Vegeta and I just sensed a very strong ancient aura awakening at the end of spacetime! Didn't the Grand Priest come looking for you?"
Vegeta also said in a deep voice:
"Lord Qin Feng, that aura is extremely violent and savage, seemingly not belonging to the rules of the Twelve Universes. Could it be a hidden danger sealed away by the Zeno's Palace?"
Qin Feng took a sip of the warm tea that Android 18 had handed him, his tone indifferent:
"It's just a small ripple in the Chaos Sea. That little dwarf Grand Zeno was so scared he wet his pants, and you two are worrying about it for no reason?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng refer to the cataclysmic disturbance in the Chaos Sea as a "small storm," both Son Goku and Vegeta's lips twitched.
However, the two were also very clear in their hearts that the person in front of them was an absolutely ruthless person who could even shatter the Grand Zeno's Causality Erasure with a single punch. In front of Lord Qin Feng, there was probably nothing in this world that could be called a "big problem".
Son Goku's eyes lit up, unable to suppress his fighting spirit, and he stepped forward to ask:
"Mr. Qin Feng! If those monsters from the Chaos emerge, could Vegeta and I go and fight them? We'd like to test our newly acquired Super Saiyan 5 power!"
Although Vegeta didn't speak, his proud eyes also gleamed with a burning fighting spirit.
Qin Feng glanced at the two of them and waved his hand:
"Go ahead and fight if you want. Just don't fight in front of my house. If you damage a single tree or blade of grass on Mount Paozu, I'll shove you both into the lake and use you as bait."
"Hehe! Don't worry, Mr. Qin Feng! We'll definitely fight in outer space!" Son Goku cheered.
Vegeta nodded slightly and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng turned his head, took the slender hand of Android 18 into his palm and kneaded it gently, and smiled tenderly:
"Alright, if you want to stretch your muscles, then get lost. Don't disturb my wife and me while we're fishing."
"Yes, Lord Qin Feng!"
Son Goku and Vegeta transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly tearing through the void and departing.
The lakeside has regained its tranquility.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the umbrella, falling on Qin Feng and Android 18.
Android 18 leaned on Qin Feng's shoulder, her clear, beautiful eyes watching the slightly swaying float, and giggled sweetly:
"Goku and the others are still the same as ever; they can't sit still as soon as they hear about a powerful enemy."
Qin Feng pulled his arm around his wife's fragrant shoulder, kissed her lips, and laughed domineeringly and casually:
"Let them do whatever they want. If we can beat them, we will; if we can't, I'll just wipe them out with one punch. As long as no one bothers us in our daily lives, let them run wild in this universe."
Android 18 smiled sweetly and held Qin Feng's large hand tightly.
The lake water rippled gently, and a refreshing breeze blew.
The sunlight pierced through the thin mist behind Mount Paozu, illuminating the entire emerald green lake surface like gold leaf falling into the water, creating a shimmering effect.
A gentle breeze swept across the lakeside, causing the weeping willows on both sides to sway slightly and rustle softly.
Under the fishing umbrella, Qin Feng, dressed in casual clothes, leaned lazily against a large chair. The bamboo fishing rod in his hand stretched diagonally towards the water, the float bobbing slightly in the shimmering waves.
On the Android 18, she changed into a fitted and elegant light pink dress, her pale golden hair loosely tied back with a wooden hairpin, making her look exceptionally gentle and charming. She was holding a plate of chilled Sacred World of the Kais sweet fruits, and with her slender, fair fingers, she picked up a fruit and gently put it into Qin Feng's mouth.
The sweet fruit melts in your mouth, its refreshing juice exuding a gentle, divine essence.
"Honey, is it sweet?"
Android 18's beautiful eyes curved into charming crescent moons, and a happy and content smile graced her lips.
Qin Feng swallowed the sweet fruit, then reached out and embraced his wife's slender waist, pulling her into his arms. He gently kissed her soft lips and spoke with a smile:
"Sweet. But even the sweetest divine fruit can't compare to one ten-thousandth of my wife's."
Android 18 blushed slightly, playfully slapped him, but her eyes and brows betrayed her undisguised sweetness and composure.
"We've been married for so long, yet you still have such a sweet tongue. You fish in the back hill every day, but I haven't seen you catch many fish, though your words have certainly gotten better and better."
Qin Feng held his wife tightly in his arms, resting his chin on her soft shoulder, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment, and casually smiled:
"Fishing is just an excuse; the real purpose is to enjoy the scenery with my wife. All the supreme power in the Sacred World of the Kais, all the authority over the Twelve Universes combined, can't compare to the comfort of sunbathing here with my wife."
Hearing this, Android 18 felt a warmth in her heart. She gently wrapped her arms around Qin Feng's neck, rested her head against his broad chest, and listened to his steady and reassuring heartbeat.
She knew all too well how terrifying this man was.
His invincible heroic figure—smashing the Grand Priest with a single punch, shattering the Grand Zeno and erasing the rules with a single Dragon Fist, and crushing the Universe Tree with a single kick—remains the supreme myth in the hearts of all gods and powerful beings throughout the universe.
Yet, this absolute supreme being, who could easily destroy all the heavens, was most willing to stay by her side, living the most ordinary and comfortable life in this little world of Mount Paozu.
However, just as the courtyard and the hill behind it were immersed in this ultimate tranquility and warmth—
Rumble--!
At the very edge of the void across all eighteen dimensions of the universe, a violent tremor suddenly began without warning!
