Zhan Yunxiao, the Luo Family's Guide

Children of great families were this practical. Even if they felt they had entrusted themselves to the wrong person, they would not immediately cry, make a scene, or go back on their word. Instead, they would rationally choose the optimal solution.

Yang Fan nodded instinctively.

"My grandfather has arranged for a moving company to go to your residential community. You can explain things to your parents yourself. Please guide me through the brief remainder of my life, my partner—Yang Fan," Luo Rou said without sorrow or joy.

Before Yang Fan could reply, a force of rejection acted upon him, instantly sending him back to reality.

After removing his virtual helmet, Yang Fan immediately slapped himself. "How could you say that? Now you've completely offended her."

The two hundred Moonwells and Sun Springs in Luo Rou's Divine Kingdom normally generated 1.2 million a month, but if they were placed in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom, they would generate 12 million.

That was precisely why Yang Fan had blurted out the idea. By then, buying Water of Life would be more than affordable for him. It was a win-win situation.

The idea had been beautiful, but reality had turned it into a misunderstanding. This wife he had just met probably already saw him as a complete scumbag.

Meanwhile, Luo Rou had also returned to the study in the real world.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her withered face in the mirror, and said sorrowfully, "Luo Rou, Luo Rou, what are you still hoping for? Haven't you seen enough of this kind of thing lately? It was only a partnership to begin with."

"Girl, are you done talking?" Luo Chengfeng asked as he knocked and entered the room.

Luo Rou nodded.

"What do you think of that boy?"

"He's not bad." Luo Rou chose to hide that final bit of unpleasantness. Given her current condition, she was in no position to be picky.

Continuing to complain would only make things difficult for her grandfather.

"That's good. I investigated him. Although Yang Fan's parents are only Divine Lifeforms, they have a fairly good reputation in Moonlight Residential Community. They are not mean or harsh people.

"Keep this villa for yourself and live here with them. With them helping take care of you, Grandpa can rest easier.

"For the next while, I'll have to go pioneer new territory for the family."

After speaking, Luo Chengfeng took out a card and placed it in Luo Rou's palm.

As she sensed the information contained in the card, she discovered that it held five drops of Water of Life.

"Grandpa, don't work so hard. There's no need to keep investing such strategic resources into my Divine Kingdom."

"Your grandfather is still a First-Order God. If Water of Life were not so scarce, with market prices being driven so high and the Luo Family's storehouse having none in stock, then what would be wrong with raising you for another hundred years?" Luo Chengfeng said.

"Today, your parents-in-law and little Yang will move in. Use these five drops of Water of Life together. On your wedding night, my granddaughter must look beautiful."

"Thank you, Grandpa. Your granddaughter understands." Luo Rou smiled, and even a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I'll be leaving first. You two should work hard and let me hold a grandson soon."

Once Luo Chengfeng's presence had completely vanished from the villa, Luo Rou's expression instantly returned to normal.

Luo Rou tossed the card onto the table, crossed her arms, and snorted. "Is that scumbag worthy? That damned freeloader trying to marry into the family for its wealth. Other than my grandfather, not a single man is any good."

As she spoke, Luo Rou viciously kicked the corner of the table, and the pain made tears well up in her eyes again.

At Moonlight Residential Community, Yang Fan was sitting at the dining table with his parents, discussing what had happened.

"Um... Fan, has the development of your Divine Kingdom been putting too much pressure on you lately?" Sun Rong asked with a face full of concern.

"Why don't we mortgage the miniature mineral vein instead?" Yang Tiexin said as he turned to discuss it with Sun Rong.

Seeing that his parents did not believe him at all, Yang Fan was equally helpless.

"Dad, Mom, can't you have a little faith in your son?" Yang Fan complained.

"Faith? Of course we have faith in you, but you can't make fun of your parents. The Luo Family wants you as a live-in son-in-law, and as long as you sign the contract, you'll receive an initial investment of 100 million Faith Points, plus a B-grade building. This..."

"Son, once your mother and I mortgage the mineral vein, we'll take you to the psychiatry department at the best Liujia Hospital in Yang County. Every year, plenty of students suffer mental breakdowns from too much pressure. This is no small matter," Yang Tiexin said worriedly.

"I..." Yang Fan was speechless.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Did you ask Old Zhang to buy grain?" Sun Rong asked.

"Our believers have enough to eat for now. I was planning to buy more next month."

"Then who is it?"

"I'll go take a look." Yang Tiexin stood and walked to the door.

When the door opened, five burly men came into view. The leader among them actually radiated the aura of a Demigod expert.

"Th-this senior, did you come to the wrong place?" Yang Tiexin's voice trembled slightly.

Moonlight Residential Community was Yang County's slum. Everyone living here was a Divine Lifeform, so why would a Demigod-level being come calling?

"Is this Young Master Yang Fan's home?" the leader asked politely.

"Yang Fan, young master?" Yang Tiexin was utterly bewildered.

Yang Fan had also reached the doorway by then. "I am Yang Fan. Who are you all?"

"Greetings, Young Master Yang Fan. You are now a Second-Grade Genius of the Luo Family. My name is Zhan Yunxiao, a guest elder of the Luo Family. Until you graduate from university, I will handle your internal family affairs.

"As for these four, they are moving company staff arranged by Elder Luo Chengfeng. They are here to help move your belongings to Yangcheng Villa," Zhan Yunxiao explained.

"Please come in." Yang Fan pulled Yang Tiexin aside and made a welcoming gesture.

The moving company was highly professional. They brought specialized packing boxes and swept up everything in the rooms, packing it all away.

Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong were both completely stunned. In less than fifteen minutes, several rooms had been emptied, and they still had not processed what had happened.

A Demigod expert, the Luo Family, Yangcheng Villa.

What their son had just said was all true?

Although Yang Fan's parents were full of doubts, they did not dare say much in front of Zhan Yunxiao, a Demigod expert.

The moving company drove a truck in front to lead the way, while Zhan Yunxiao acted as the driver and brought Yang Fan's family of three along behind them.

Yang Fan sat in the passenger seat and could not help saying, "Senior."

"Young Master Yang, there is no need for such formality. Since the family has rated you as a Second-Grade Genius, your future achievements will not be beneath mine. I am the guide assigned to you by the Luo Family. During your remaining student years, you may ask me about anything," Zhan Yunxiao explained.

Seeing how meticulous the man was, Yang Fan became curious. "Does every Luo Family genius get a Demigod expert to accompany them through school?"

"Only geniuses of the second grade and above receive this treatment."

"Are there many such geniuses?"

"As of now, there are fourteen First-Grade Geniuses and 468 Second-Grade Geniuses who have not yet graduated from university."

Hearing this, Yang Fan drew a sharp breath. As expected of the Luo Family—its personnel investment in this area alone involved nearly five hundred Demigod experts.

"However, there are only two First-Grade Geniuses in your cohort: Miss Luo Bing and Young Master Luo Hen. There are seventy-six Second-Grade Geniuses, twenty-eight of whom attend Yang County No. 1 High School. Most of the others are being trained in the city," Zhan Yunxiao explained.

Perhaps because he felt the truck ahead was moving too slowly, Zhan Yunxiao activated autopilot, then took out a thin electronic tablet and handed it to Yang Fan.
