"Xiao Liu! I brought my boyfriend over, do you want to see him?" Wang Simeng called out to the system Xiao Liu in her mind.

"Ah!!! Little Liu Liu has appeared!"

"Wow! Your man is very handsome, isn't he? He looks like a perfect match for you, host. I told you long ago to find a man so you won't be alone anymore," the system Xiao Liu exclaimed.

"Really! Haha, I think so too. I want to open a shop, complete the mission, and cultivate with him." Wang Simeng spoke happily in her mind, holding Mo Beichen's hand.

"Ding! New system task: Open a shop in the capital. Reward for completion: 1 million yuan and two top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills."

"Haha, that's great! Xiao Liu, you're so kind! You really have a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!" Wang Simeng said excitedly.

"That's great! I need to get the shop up and running as soon as possible!" Wang Simeng exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey, good luck, host!" System Xiao Liu said happily.

"Achen, I want to open a new shop."

Wang Simeng held Mo Beichen's hand, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and had already begun planning how to open a shop.

"Yes, Meng'er can do whatever she likes. Anyway, I will help Meng'er." Mo Beichen said, affectionately patting Wang Simeng's head.

"Do you want to cultivate with me?" Wang Simeng asked Mo Beichen.

Mo Beichen was initially surprised, thinking that Wang Simeng was referring to practicing martial arts.

"Yes, as long as I can be with Meng'er, it doesn't matter whether I cultivate or not."

"The cultivation I'm talking about is the kind that allows you to live a very long time, um, it's like cultivating immortality. Not ordinary cultivation. Only through cultivation can we be together for a very long time!" Wang Simeng winked mischievously and said.

"Meng'er, really? After we start cultivating, we can be together forever?" Mo Beichen's eyes were filled with shock.

Wang Simeng didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.

"Okay! Meng'er, I also really want to cultivate! We'll stay together forever!" Mo Beichen hugged Wang Simeng tightly and said firmly.

“Okay!!” Wang Simeng did not object and nodded.

"However, you cannot cultivate now. You will be able to cultivate after the new shop is opened."

If Ah Chen likes martial arts, formations, and alchemy, he can learn them at the villa first.

"I can slow down the time in the villa to the slowest setting. One day outside is equivalent to one month inside the villa," Wang Simeng said.

"Meng'er can even change the speed of time in the villa?" Mo Beichen said in surprise.

“Yes!” Wang Simeng nodded happily.

"Then let's begin, Meng'er, so we can spend more time together," Mo Beichen said with a smile.

"Alright, we'll be spending a lot of time in this space, so you can stay in whichever room you like. Let's go learn some formations first! I studied them for a while before, maybe I can teach you!"

"good!"

Wang Simeng, holding Mo Beichen's hand, instantly arrived at the array room on the fourth floor.

"Hehe, let me get you a beginner's book on formations first. Formation knowledge is quite difficult, so you won't have to ask me questions again."

Wang Simeng looked at Mo Beichen and said with a grin.

"good!"

Mo Beichen smiled and nodded, accepting the beginner's array book.

Wang Simeng had only learned the beginner level of formations before, and hadn't mastered the intermediate level yet. So she found the intermediate formation book and sat down next to Mo Beichen to read it.

Seeing Wang Simeng so focused on the formation, Mo Beichen felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

He then began to read through it, and finished the beginner's book on formations in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Mo Beichen put down the book in his hand and looked at Wang Simeng with incredibly tender eyes.

That's great.

Wang Simeng looked at the first few pages of the intermediate-level formation, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes falling into deep thought.

About fifteen minutes later, Wang Simeng looked up at Mo Beichen, and their eyes met.

"Huh? Ah Chen! Why aren't you watching anymore? Is it too difficult?" Wang Simeng looked at Mo Beichen with some concern.

"No." Mo Beichen shook his head with a smile.

"Since Ah Chen is alright, why aren't you reading your book? Why are you staring at me?"

Wang Simeng glared at Mo Beichen, but her eyes held no threat.

"Cough! I've already finished reading it!"

Mo Beichen coughed lightly and touched his nose as he spoke.

"Huh? You've really finished watching it? And you've learned it all?!" Wang Simeng's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, as she asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Meng'er, I've finished reading it and learned how to do it," Mo Beichen said with a smile.

Wang Simeng was somewhat dazed, staring wide-eyed at Mo Beichen.

“I’m telling the truth, Meng’er, you’ve already learned it,” Mo Beichen repeated.

Wang Simeng suddenly came to her senses and stood up excitedly.

She knew that Mo Beichen was not one to lie, much less to herself.

Holy crap! What kind of weirdo is this guy? He learned it so quickly, while I took so long to learn it myself.

Wang Simeng was envious.

She looked at Mo Beichen with a mournful gaze and asked in confusion, "How did you learn so quickly?"

"I don't know either! This array book is like another part of my body. I learned it very easily. I only needed to look at it once to understand it," Mo Beichen explained with a smile.

Wang Simeng was incredulous.

Could it be that he was a big shot in his past life? And I'm just a newbie? This was Wang Simeng's wild guess.

Then he sighed.

"Sigh! You're a pro, I'm a newbie, we can't compare. Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."

Wang Simeng pouted, looking at Mo Beichen with resentment, and also came to terms with reality.
