Zheng Qing and Zhou Ying stayed in Japan to handle the remaining work with the Xia Kingdom representative.

Beya and the Central King were sent back.

The Azure Sky World has a portal to Earth (a skill on the butterfly), and the Four Seasons Star has a "humanoid portal" (for players participating in the New Year event). Logically, there's no need to send the two back, but if something happens to Li Changzhou and the others in the dungeon, whether these two portals can still be used by them is unknown.

The saying "When people leave, the tea cools" is first and foremost a fact, and only then is it summarized into an idiom.

"Brother." After watching Bei Ya leave, Li Qianxia's voice became soft and gentle.

"What's wrong?"

“We haven’t seen each other for a month.” Her lips parted in a smile.

Li Changzhou couldn't help but laugh, opened his arms, and hugged his aggrieved younger sister.

Li Qianxia nestled obediently in his arms, looking quite content, like someone finally soaking in hot water on a cold winter's day.

The two have never been apart for a single day since they were children.

"Judging from the way you were just now, I thought you didn't miss me." Li Changzhou teased her while comforting her with his body.

"They've grown up, they'll be more careful when there are other people around."

"Is this what growing up means?"

"Does growing up mean not thinking about you?" Li Qianxia looked up.

"You dare!" Li Changzhou punished his sister by pressing her face against his chest.

Li Qianxia did not resist, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Changzhou asked with a smile.

"When I went to this other world, at least twenty people were pursuing me! I was wondering, what would you do, bro, if I fell in love?"

"...It seems I went too easy on them; I should have just smashed that piece of land to pieces."

"You damn siscon~" she said without any anger, and even seemed quite happy.

"What do you know? Isn't every older brother like this?" Li Changzhou said dismissively. "Besides, you're so young, what are you talking about dating? You're about to take the bar exam, then there's the postgraduate entrance exam, and after that, you'll prepare for the civil service exam. Don't you want to be a female judge?"

Li Qianxia chuckled softly, "I still have exams to take."

Dude, that's going way too far. You're starting to talk without thinking.

But knowing it was for her sake, she even hoped her brother's condition would worsen.

"Even without the exams, just considering your cultivation, you're only a Human Immortal now, and you can only live for three thousand years. What's the point of romance in such a short time? At least a Celestial Immortal can live forever."

[I highly recommend the source-switching app for reading books; it's really useful. Download huanyuanapp here. Everyone should give it a try!]

"A celestial being?! Then I can't have children!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in a low voice.

"Have a child? You still want to have a child?" Li Changzhou found it hard to believe and couldn't imagine it. "The best age for women to have children is 25, how old are you?"

"When can I start dating?"

"An ordinary person who lives to be 100 years old falls in love at 22; what if you were immortal..."

Li Qianxia's face was nestled in Li Changzhou's arms, so she couldn't see his expression, but his voice revealed a thoughtful tone.

"...It will be at least 20 to 30 million years from now."

Li Qianxia laughed so hard she trembled in his arms.

Li Changzhou laughed too, forcing a serious expression as he gave her a tight hug, threateningly asking, "Did you hear me?"

Li Qianxia wrapped her arms around his neck, jumped slightly, and hooked her legs around his waist.

Li Changzhou smiled and wrapped his arm around her, carrying her on his back.

"You're such a grown-up, yet you act like a child."

"Who just said I'm small? Huh?"

Can the age of adulthood and the age of marriage be the same?

"You're always right, humph."

Li Changzhou carried Li Qianxia around for a while before heading to the Earth's atmosphere to meet up with Yang Qinglan and Yaochi.

Yang Qinglan glanced at Li Qianxia and smiled, "Looks like you're having a lot of fun."

"It's a pity I don't dare to register as an adventurer." Li Qianxia looked like she hadn't had enough.

"You actually went to have fun?" Yang Qinglan asked again.

"...Qinglan, you're too scheming. I seriously suspect that when you first met my brother, you deliberately took off your pants in front of him."

"She took off her skirt," Li Changzhou corrected.

"It seems you have a deep impression of it." For some reason, Yaochi's gaze was like that of an empress warning her husband.

“I’m not just playing around,” Li Qianxia continued. “I’ve tested out the opponent’s fighting style and skill level. If they pose a threat to my brother, I will suddenly intervene during the duel. So, although I haven’t done anything, my necessity cannot be denied.”

"You have a point," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

"Moreover," Li Qianxia said, taking out the suitcase Japan had given her, "I was also rewarded with a payment!"

"Good people get good rewards?" Yaochi asked with a hint of curiosity.

Li Qianxia opened the box while explaining what she had done.

The box contained four stone slabs, each about the size of Li Changzhou's palm and as thick as a mobile phone. At first glance, they looked very similar to He Qihui's.

However, it's just a matter of habit for aeroluminescence to condense into glass blocks; beads, triangles, and cylinders are all possible, but these four stone slabs can only be cuboids.
