The next day, Feng Xuanmin rushed to the payment counter in a great hurry, took the payment slip, and paid the remaining fees for his daughter, Feng Youyou. Then he found the doctor and asked him to treat Feng Youyou with the best possible care.

He then disappeared from the hospital.

Four months later, Shen Lang and his companions, who had traveled around the world, finally returned to X City.

Outside the airport, Xia Bingyan and Shen Qingcheng were already waiting. Beside Xia Bingyan stood a middle-aged man in a suit, holding a girl about the same age as Shen Qingcheng in his arms.

However, the girl's skin had a sickly pale white hue.

"Dad, who are we waiting for here?" the girl asked softly, nestled in the middle-aged man's arms.

The middle-aged man gently pinched the girl's nose and said, "We're waiting for Dad's boss, the older brother who treated Youyou."

"Is the big brother handsome?" the little girl asked innocently, her eyes wide.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Big brother is extremely handsome. You'll see him in a moment."

Inside the airport, Shen Lang, dressed in a white long robe, appeared in everyone's sight.

Yu Xian'er stood on the left, followed by Shuang'er, Dongxue, and Qiuye.

Two months ago, Shen Lang and Yu Xian'er both broke through to the Heavenly Rank in their ancient martial arts realm. Through their dual cultivation with Shuang'er, Shen Lang and Shuang'er's Qi Refining cultivation has reached the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they are only one step away from reaching the legendary Core Formation Realm, which allows them to abstain from grains.

"Brother!" Upon seeing Shen Lang appear, Shen Qingcheng immediately broke free from Xia Bingyan's hand and ran towards Shen Lang.

Shen Lang bent down, picked up Shen Qingcheng who was running towards him, and patted her head, laughing loudly, "Haha! Our Qingcheng has grown taller."

Shen Qingcheng buried her head in Shen Lang's neck and said coquettishly, "I've been good and eaten properly, haven't I?"

"So, have you been studying hard?" Shen Lang asked with a smile.

Shen Qingcheng shook her head and said, "The kindergarten teachers are all too stupid. I already know everything they teach. Brother, I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore. The kids there are all too childish."

Xia Bingyan then walked over and explained to Shen Lang with a smile, "This girl is very smart. She doesn't need a teacher to teach her anything from books; she can learn it all by herself."

Shen Lang nodded, then patted Shen Qingcheng on the back and said, "Qingcheng, let Sister Xian'er hold you."

Shen Qingcheng nodded obediently, then stretched out her little hand to Yu Xian'er and said, "Sister Xian'er, hug me. I missed you so much."

Yu Xian'er took Shen Qingcheng from her and smiled gently, "Little one, have you made any new friends lately?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingcheng nodded her little head excitedly: "Yes, Xiaoxiao and Uncle Zhao's daughter Youyou are best friends, but Youyou is sick and has been in the hospital."

At this moment, the middle-aged man outside the airport, carrying the girl, walked up to Shen Lang and respectfully greeted him, "Young Master."

Shen Lang looked intently at the middle-aged man and tentatively asked, "Old Zhao?"

Zhao Wuji nodded: "It is I, young master."

After Zhao Wuji took over Feng Xuanmin's body, the two had already met once in a video.

Shen Lang glanced at the little girl in Zhao Wuji's arms but didn't ask any further questions. He took Xia Bingyan's hand and smiled, "Let's go home first."

The renovation project at Qingyun Mountain is still underway and is expected to take another three months to complete.

Shen Lang and his group returned to Baiyun Manor.

In the study, Shen Lang summoned Zhao Wuji and asked him, "Old Zhao, what do you plan to do with this child?"

Zhao Wuji lowered his head and said, "Young master, in my previous life I was all alone and never experienced the feeling of family. In this life I want to take care of him. I hope you will grant me permission."

Shen Lang sat in his chair and pondered for a while before saying, "Alright, then let's arrange for him and Qingcheng to go to school together. They're about the same age, so they can keep each other company."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes, which had remained calm throughout: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

Shen Lang waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite with me."

"There is one more crucial thing that needs your attention."

"Please speak, young master." Zhao Wuji bowed respectfully, awaiting instructions.

Shen Lang looked intently at Zhao Wuji and said, "I need you to secretly establish an organization that combines intelligence and assassination, and to be 100% loyal to me. Can you do that?"

Zhao Wuji said, "Young Master, you can rest assured to leave it to me, but is there a time limit?"

Shen Lang said, "There is no time limit. You will be in full charge of this organization. However, you should choose those with cultivation talent. One day we will eventually go to other worlds, and we will need to have our own team."

"Yes, young master."

"You can ask Bingyan about the funding," Shen Lang continued. "You can go now. Take Youyou to the hospital immediately. Also, have Gu Qingqing keep an eye out for any chance of fully curing Youyou's condition."

After Zhao Wuji left, Shen Lang went to Xia Bingyan's courtyard.

Xia Bingyan had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Shen Lang, Xia Bingyan rushed over and hugged the man tightly.

"It's been so long, have you missed me?" Shen Lang whispered in Xia Bingyan's ear.

Xia Bingyan nodded vigorously, then raised her head and kissed Shen Lang on the lips.

The two embraced each other, and when they entered the room, they had very few clothes left on them.

Beside the bed, Xia Bingyan hugged Shen Lang tightly around the waist, pressed her ear against his muscular chest, and said in a seductive voice, "Husband, how about staying in my room tonight?"

"good."

Like rain after a long drought, spring colors instantly filled the entire room, and seductive sounds kept coming from inside, making the maids outside blush and dare not look up.

Two hours later, Xia Bingyan leaned on Shen Lang's shoulder with a satisfied look on her face, her fragrant breath constantly blowing into her lover's ear.

Xia Bingyan playfully stuck out her tongue and touched the soft flesh. Shen Lang, who had just finished his battle, was instantly revived.

While Shen Lang and Xia Bingyan were entangled in a passionate moment, a strange scene was unfolding in a classroom at X City's No. 1 High School.

On the podium, the teacher who was giving a lecture suddenly had his chalk fly towards a student sitting in the back row, followed by an angry shout in the classroom.

"Luo Fei!"

A short-haired boy in the back row was startled awake. He looked up, his eyes filled with confusion, at his classmates and the teacher on the podium, and muttered to himself, "Where am I?"

His response was the teacher's angry shouts: "This is a classroom! Luo Fei, if you want to sleep, go home and sleep. This is not a place for you to sleep!"

"Hahahaha!" The students in the classroom burst into laughter.
