"Yes, Auntie." Liu Mengran smiled politely, "We are all Han Feng's...good friends."
Su Wanwan suppressed a laugh and added, "The really good kind~"
Dongfang Wantang nodded seriously: "The kind of good friend who would help deal with a drunkard."
Amidst Han Feng's despairing gaze, the three women bid farewell to their two mothers. As soon as they stepped out of the villa, Su Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Uncle Han is so adorable! He actually said 'I paid for three at once'!"
Liu Mengran shook her head and chuckled: "We'll see how Han Feng explains himself tomorrow after he sobers up."
Dongfang Wantang seemed thoughtful: "Actually, the way Aunt Wang looked at us just now... seemed quite satisfied?"
As the three chatted and laughed, they arrived at the door of Villa No. 1, only to find that Han Feng was still following behind them.
"Why are you following me?" Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going back to Villa No. 3 to take care of your aunt and uncle?"
Han Feng scratched his head: "My mom kicked me out, saying I was causing trouble..." He looked at the three women expectantly, "Would you let me stay for the night?"
Liu Mengran opened the door, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Sleeping on the sofa?"
"No!" Han Feng tried to squeeze through the door. "My bed is very big..."
---This is the dividing line---
The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, dancing on Han Feng's face. He groggily reached out to hug the person beside him, but grasped only empty air. Opening his eyes, he realized he had the large bed all to himself—the three women had already gotten up sometime earlier.
The soft clatter of dishes and the laughter of girls drifted from downstairs. Han Feng yawned as he walked down the stairs and saw Liu Mengran frying eggs in the open kitchen, Su Wanwan fiddling with the coffee machine, and Dongfang Wantang carefully cutting fruit.
"Oh, have all the snail fairies appeared?" Han Feng leaned lazily against the kitchen door frame.
Without turning her head, Su Wanwan tossed out a remark: "The Sleepyhead is finally awake? We almost thought you were going to hibernate until next year."
Liu Mengran plated the fried eggs: "Your parents went out early this morning with Wang Hao's parents; they said they were going to climb the Great Wall."
"So much energy?" Han Feng exclaimed in surprise. "My dad was completely drunk yesterday..."
Dongfang Wantang handed him a glass of freshly squeezed juice: "Aunt Wang said she wants to experience the saying, 'He who has not climbed the Great Wall is no true man.'"
As Han Feng took the cup, he noticed that the three girls were all wearing sportswear that allowed for easy movement: "What are you doing...?"
"Let's go cultivate at the Dongfang family!" Su Wanwan spun around excitedly. "You haven't forgotten about our recent cultivation trip to the Dongfang family, have you?"
Han Feng felt a little embarrassed: "No, I just wanted to see if you were going to set off. I'll go with you and give you some pointers."
The Dongfang family's secret realm was much more lively than usual. Upon learning that the Star Lord would personally guide their cultivation, many young disciples rushed to watch, only to be shooed away by Dongfang Lin with a laugh: "Go away, go away, the Star Lord's special training class is full!"
In the center of the training field, Han Feng was explaining the basic techniques: "The power of stars is not brute force; you must learn to feel its flow..."
"Like this?" A burst of starlight rose from Su Wanwan's palm, but it exploded into a firework shape with a "poof".
Han Feng flicked her forehead helplessly: "Concentrate, stop thinking about special effects."
On the other side, Liu Mengran closed her eyes and concentrated, delicate starlight appearing around her, but the energy fluctuations were clearly unstable. Han Feng walked behind her and gently held her wrist: "Relax, follow my guidance..."
As his stellar power slowly flowed in, the energy within Liu Mengran's body suddenly became gentle, flowing naturally like a stream. She opened her eyes in surprise: "This is..."
"A resonance effect." Han Feng smiled. "Our energy wavelengths are very compatible."
A gasp suddenly came from afar. There, Dongfang Wantang hovered in mid-air, surrounded by dazzling star trails—she could actually use energy to create steps and walk on air!
"Wantang, you're cheating too much!" Su Wanwan pouted. "What happened to starting from scratch together?"
Dongfang Wantang landed lightly, a little embarrassed: "I've seen Han Feng use his skills a few times before..."
Han Feng pondered, "Wan Tang's astrologer physique makes her naturally sensitive to the power of stars." He turned to the other two women, "However, everyone has unique talents—Meng Ran excels in precise energy manipulation, and Wan Wan's creativity is unmatched."
The training sessions that followed became quite interesting. Under Han Feng's guidance, Liu Mengran actually managed to weave light-patterned embroidery using the power of stars; Su Wanwan developed "starlight bubbles" that could envelop objects and suspend them; even Dongfang Wantang was pleasantly surprised to discover that she could use starlight to predict her opponent's movements.
"That's not fair!" Su Wanwan suddenly pointed at Han Feng, "You haven't even shown the full version!"
Amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, Han Feng smiled and shook his head. He slowly floated into the air, his hands outstretched—the starlight throughout the training ground suddenly came alive, transforming into countless streams of light that converged in his palms. When the energy reached its peak, he softly uttered:
"Starfall - Modified!"
The sphere of light shot into the sky, only to burst open at its highest point into a shower of stars, gently falling upon everyone. The vegetation touched by the star shower grew and blossomed at a visible speed, and even the surface of the rocks was adorned with beautiful star-like patterns.
"So beautiful..." Liu Mengran reached out and caught a drop of starlight. The light spot turned into a tiny star-shaped flower on her fingertip.
Dongfang Wantang seemed to understand: "Transforming the power of destruction into life... is this your newly acquired ability?"
Han Feng stumbled slightly upon landing and was caught by the three girls simultaneously. Su Wanwan seized the opportunity to touch his abs: "You cheated! This move wasn't taught at all!"
"Teach me, teach me..." Han Feng pleaded with a smile, "Once you've built a solid foundation..."
The training continued until the afternoon. When the Dongfang family brought tea and snacks, the four of them were lying on the lawn panting without any regard for their image—when they were trying out combination techniques earlier, Su Wanwan's "Starlight Bubbles" had wrapped them all up like silkworms.
"Actually..." Han Feng suddenly spoke, "I just discovered that your energies can resonate in a special way."
He sat up and gestured for the three women to extend their hands. As the four women's starlight connected, a complex three-dimensional star map naturally appeared, several times more stable than any single person could create.
"Wow!" Su Wanwan's eyes widened. "Did we do this?"
Liu Mengran gently touched the star map, and the light flow changed accordingly: "It feels like... a connection between our hearts?"
Dongfang Wantang had already pulled out her astrological chart to record data: "The energy resonance coefficient has increased by over 300%, this is simply..."
"A rudimentary form of team-based techniques." Han Feng's eyes gleamed with excitement. "With more practice, we might even be able to develop combined attacks."
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the four embarked on their journey home. Su Wanwan was still chattering away about naming their combination techniques, Liu Mengran smiled as she tidied her wind-blown hair, while Dongfang Wantang was busy calculating energy formulas.
