Hi!
The book is written from the perspective of Alexander and sometimes from the perspective of the female lead.
 It is my second book, but it is the first of its kind.

I'm not a native speaker.
if I receive negative messages about grammar, I'll stop!

Hani, embarks on a journey of finding the true meaning of love but a more extraordinary realization comes with an unexpected meaning of what's the true definition of true love.

Join Hani on her adventurous journey on finding the true meaning of love.

The little darling reached out his little paws to grab the items as he babbled and insisted on playing with them.
Shui Anluo grabbed his little paws, these were not for playing. What if he breaks them? Both of them would not be able to reimburse them even if they were pawned here.
"Ah, ah..." The little darling struggled unhappily as he held his paws out. He had not even touched those shiny things.
Icy Chu raised his brows and picked the little darling up. He placed him on the counter and the little darling crouched down, using his meaty little hands to sweep the emeralds away.
Shui Anluo placed one palm on her face and watched as her prodigal son swatted the emeralds onto the ground one by one. It was a good thing those were of good quality so they do not shatter easily.
Once the little darling finished sweeping, all that was left was a delicate and exquisite emerald jade. The jade was smalled than a palm and glittered enticingly. It looked particularly beautiful beneath the special lights.
Chu Ningyi reached out to pick up the little jade and looked at the little darling. "This one?"
"Ah pu..." The little darling smiled at his daddy.
"Alright." Chu Ningyi nodded and gave the jade to the salesperson. "Wrap this up."
Shui Anluo's lips twitched, was this a special kind of communication between father and son?
Her son certainly had a unique style when choosing things. He would throw away what he did not like. This prodigal child, ever since he was by his father's side, he had been prodigal to the end[1].
After choosing the present, Chu Ningyi got Shui Anluo to take it and carried the little darling as he left.
Shui Anluo could see the viciousness hidden in the salesperson's smile because she would have to clean this mess in a while. However, because this was her big boss, she did not dare say a thing.
Now that the present has been chosen, Chu Ningyi brought them to the Chu family's old residence straightaway.
Ever since she had been conned by Chu Ningyi into coming here, she had never returned.
The old residence was more lively than usual. The Chu family was considered to be one of the elite families of 'A' City. Even though this was considered a family dinner, the number of people who had arrived was no small amount.
Shui Anluo felt a little repulsed. Aside from the fact that she was the little darling's mother, she has no relation to the Chu family now.
After he got down from the car, Chu Ningyi turned around to look at Shui Anluo who had remained in the vehicle. He looked at the time. "There's still time for you to leave but if the little darling is unable to find you and ends up crying, what will you do?" Chu Ningyi threatened calmly.
"You..." Shui Anluo looked up and angrily opened the door. She had already gone with him to buy the present anyway, why would she be afraid of making rounds with him inside?
Shui Anluo thought secretly and immediately flung the car door shut.
Chu Ningyi smirked. When Shui Anluo approached he handed the babbling little darling over to her and wrapped one arm around her waist.
"Hey, Director Chu, have some dignity, we have no relationship," Shui Anluo scoffed coldly.
Chu Ningyi raised his brow and murmured into her ear, "Are we not the parents of the child?"
His words were too seductive and his breath was much too hot.
Shui Anluo shivered, wanting to distance herself from where his breath had dispersed but did not want him to follow him like a shadow.
"Director Chu, are you teasing a young maiden from a good family?" Shui Anluo scoffed icily.
"Young maiden?" Chu Ningyi repeated and looked profoundly down at his gurgling son. The meaning of it was obviously to ask if she was still a young maiden.
"Ningyi?"
Before Shui Anluo could retaliate, a surprised yet familiar sounding voice called out from behind them.
[1] I think the term you're looking for is spoiled brat.


Divorced, disowned, and down on her luck, Shui Anluo was determined to move on and live a peaceful life… Unfortunately, her ex-husband somehow found out about the baby and insisted that she should move in with him again. Soon, he realizes that he cannot live without her… But the road to marriage is bumpy and Shui Anluo is unwilling to go through heartbreak again. Can she take back everything that had belonged to her and will she find the courage to jump in and fall in love again?

There were more festivals after Halloween. There was still Thanksgiving in November and then Christmas in December after that, as well as New Year's Day. Thanksgiving was an important holiday in America, and Sophie and Li Du spent it with the Martins after they returned to Flagstaff. After the holiday, he would head to Riverdale to attend Big Fox's wedding.
They drove down to Riverdale. The town was peaceful and uneventful as ever, the retro vibes compounding the nostalgia. As they transitioned into winter and the town saw fewer and fewer tourists, it seemed to give off some sort of desolation that only added to the feeling.
As Li Du drove into the town, he bumped into a strong, blonde youth who drove his pickup truck into the supermarket to get some stuff. The two of them greeted each other and Li Du waved to him. "Hey, Jack."
The blonde was Big Fox's brother-in-law. The first time Li Du met him, his child had been diagnosed with meningitis and Li Du sent a helicopter to rescue him.
Jack broke into a huge smile at the sight of Li Du. He got down from his car to shake hands with the man and he said, "Hey, Li, you're early. You guys go on ahead to the ranch first. Hans and Barbara probably can't wait to see you guys."
Sophie asked, "How's Chuck? He must be getting pretty big and strong."
Chuck was his son, who had had meningitis. Jack smiled brightly at the mention of him. "Yep, we've got good genes in our family so the little man's becoming a strong lad."
Many things were needed for a ranch wedding, which was why Jack's pick-up truck was completely filled. Li Du opened his trunk to help ease his burden. Jack still had stuff to buy so Li Du brought some of the people back to the ranch first.
The ranch was decorated with colorful lanterns and there were balloons and ribbons wrapped around the simple gate and fence. Every time the wind blew, numerous ribbons floated in the air, making the place look lively.
After Li Du parked his car, he saw Hannah and Stephen. The pair had come down before Li Du did to help prepare for the wedding; otherwise, the bunch of them could have been traveling together.
Because he moved to Los Angeles, it had been quite some time since he last saw Hannah and Stephen. The old friends were overjoyed when they reunited. Li Du pulled the two of them into a hug and asked them, "Aren't you guys getting married one of these days?"
Hannah chuckled. "We're just waiting for Hans to get married, and then it's our turn. What about you guys, Li? What are you and Sophie planning?"
Sophie shrugged. "Well, I'm just waiting. No one's offered to set the date yet, so I can only wait."
Stephen looked at Li Du as he said, "That's a hint, bro, that's a hint, I tell you. Hurry, man, just make your move. Good things come in pairs, right? Maybe we could have our weddings at the same time."
Li Du smiled but did not say anything. Changing the topic, he said, "What about Big Fox? Isn't he going to come to greet an old friend who traveled all this way for his wedding?"
"He's with Barbara. She's trying on wedding dresses. I never thought this brother of mine would stay here like this. Barbara is his whole world now," Hannah remarked.
Stephen sighed. "It's true. I used to be sure Big Fox would never get married in this life. He was Flagstaff's prodigal son, but here he ends up getting married before we did. On top of that, he even became a traditional cowboy. I would never have believed this if I didn't witness it myself!"
Hannah smiled. "I give thanks to God and to my parents."
There was still some doubt lingering in their words, and Li Du found this amusing. "We do have to respect him, though. He might be a prodigal son, but there's no denying he's a good one. I knew he was a good person the moment I saw him help the kids from the welfare home."
"That is true. Even now that he's come to Riverdale, he still makes time to go to Flagstaff to volunteer there," Hannah nodded.
Li Du came to the wedding with a mission. He was Hans' best man, but ranch weddings were simple, and all he had to do was walk with him for a bit during the ceremony, so he did not come to the ranch too early.
The main reason was the unfortunate timing. The wedding was right after Thanksgiving, which he had had to spend with his future parents-in-law to discuss certain matters regarding his and Sophie's wedding. Otherwise, Li Du would have been here earlier, too. He did indeed miss Hans a great deal.
Hans finally appeared after Li Du had spent about an hour at the ranch. The man looked completely different from before. In the past, he would be cleanly shaven and sport the trendiest hairstyle, always staring at passing women. Now, his head of blond hair was in an old-fashioned and simple style. A full beard covered the lower half of his face; his skin had become coarse and had a healthy, reddish hue to it. His aura was completely different from what it had been before.
At the sight of Li Du, he mimed drawing a gun. Li Du opened his arms and the two of them hugged fiercely.
"You're about to get married. How are you feeling?"
Hans laughed boisterously. "Like I'm in a dream. It's great, man. Hurry and get married, marriage is the true meaning to life."
Li Du patted his friend's shoulder. "You go on ahead and look for this meaning you speak of. Come back and talk me through it once you've found it."
Barbara's family had been considerate in reserving a private space for them. In the afternoon, Hans brought Barbara over to welcome Li Du.
There was a new building on the ranch. Its style was simple, and it was to be Hans and Barbara's new home. At the sight of their new house, Li Du smiled and tossed a key and a land certificate to Hans. "Seems like my gift is a bit useless now."
Barbara took the items from him, then looked up at him at asked in confusion, "What's this?"
Hans knew even without looking. "Aren't you generous? A house?"
Stephen went over to peep at the certificate and surprise colored his face. "Good Lord, is this a villa at Beverly Hills? How much is it worth? Probably a few million, right?!"
This was the best of the houses Li Du had won in property auctions in the recent period of time. Its auction price alone was five million, but the property stood to rise in value. He could not think of a better wedding gift for Hans, so he chose the villa.
Li Du said, "Just think of it as a resort villa. You can't possibly stay here at the ranch all the time, right? You've got to take Barbara out to have fun once in a while, no?"
Hans chuckled. "What's so bad about staying at the ranch? I love it here so much, and the longer I stay here, the less I want to go out into the world."
"You're this close to attaining Buddhahood with how ascetic you are," Li Du said with his thumbs up. This was not the Hans he had known from before.
Barbara had a simple, a bit naïve disposition; she had little interest in money, preferring things she could own instead. This was the first time Li Du and Sophie were at their new house, a house that Barbara was rather proud of. She took the two of them around the house, giving them a room-by-room tour. Hans went along with them; he was steady and gentle, the smile never leaving his face
Looking at Hans, Li Du could not help but think about the past. Time was truly the greatest force on this earth. To think it could completely shape a person into someone else in a mere year.


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

The fresh recruits understood the power structure within the Xertzul Abyss. They were ants who followed an ant! It was a shock to their system to learn that they came from such a weak World. They were the most powerful people in the Tutan World before they ascended.
As ascenders, they were made privy to the genuine history of their realm. James, their devil lord, brought his foreign army and slaughtered the entire world just to cultivate a Dao! Their leader was a heartless, bloodthirsty maniac.
The sphinxes had no thoughts of rebellion. They could not, they were slaves mentally and physically. And so it would be for eight more generations of sphinxes.
The dark elves willing followed James, so it was strange getting to know the actual history of how they came to inhabit the Tutan World. Dark elf elders had been mum about the founding of the Elf Nation in the Tutan World. For generations to be loyal to James that dirty history had to be wiped out throughout the entire world.
Their loyalty was still strong despite knowing the truth. Their tribe only had a few Knights apparently before following James, now they were Knights born every generation and the weaker ones could live safely in the pocket world.
~~~
While his ragtag war division was coming into being James was hard at work studying and mastering the [Curse Binding Scripture].
I deepened my understanding of Fire, Soul, Electric, and Curse Dao. Every day I would forge a new curse weapon. This young lord was rich with souls. Might as well use them!
I fully immersed myself in Runeforging. It was a wondrous experience for me, this was the first time I truly enjoyed devilry. Time had no meaning and flew by. Now that I had a wealthy organization backing me, I had forging resources delivered to me daily.
Ah, the life of a prodigal young noble. Who needs to go work hard to get resources when your lackeys can do it for you?
Kyle even sent a personal attendant to see to my needs. I felt it was natural, these were the things I expected to have as a young lord.
My mindset was slowly changing. I no longer saw myself as a young noble. Now that I had an organization and followers, I saw myself as a young lord. A proper devil ruler.
~~~
This change in mentality was great for our young devil hero. He was reaching the age of adulthood, his childhood fantasies of being a prodigal son were being replaced with being a prodigal young lord. James desired personal power and strength to back his arrogance.
He was wholly independent of the Hudson clan; he looked forward to the day that [Libra] would overshadow [Mountain Shadow] as the most powerful organization in the Hudson clan.
Our young devil hero was maturing from a devil boy to a devil man!
~~~
The work I did forging the cursed rune weapons was not only rewarding to me but every single one I created deepened the understanding of the Daos.
I had even entered the Metal Dao after working with so many materials. I started with Tier-1 cursed weapons and slowly improved my craft until I could form a Tier-2 cursed weapon.
Every weapon I crafted would be different, they would take on their form from a combination of the Metals, Souls, and Dao Runes I carved within them. Each would have a connection to me. These weapons were alive, they hungered to find a mortal soul to beguile and degrade.
The best use of these would be to send them into a pocket world and watch the madness unfold. I could conqueror an unsuspecting world without a fight.
"Meow, that's the best part of cursed rune weapons! It is very difficult to invade stronger worlds."
"Meow, Cursed Rune Weapons could easily beguile an unsuspecting mortal soul giving you a chief agent to enact your will on an unsuspecting world."
I must forge a Baron Weapon and send it down to an unsuspecting Tier-2 world. According to Kyles reports, I should be able to purchase Tier-2 world coordinates in a few years.
"Listen! You should work on stepping into the Baron realm, the stupid book will teach you how to scry for worlds once you do. It desires many souls to repair itself."
The stupid book kept the lion's share of the souls from the Tutan World! I'm altering the deal next time I conquer a world.
"Meow, you forget the stupid book gave you the realm coordinates."
"Hey! The stupid book is fair."
I didn't have time to argue with the Codex Aspects. Through my deeper understanding of Soul Dao, I realized the Aspects were just unique personalities born of the Codex to serve its hosts.
They were the Codex, and the Codex was them. It was truly a remarkable artifact. All this time he was speaking to it with his conversations with the mischievous cat and the cute pixie.
"Meow, when you grow stronger you'll be able to create a personal Aspect within the Codex of Souls."
"Watch Out! He's way too weak to be thinking about creating an Aspect."
I worked hard day and night forging, increasing my Dao mastery. I had an armada of Tier-1 and Tier-2 cursed weapons now. Some poor unsuspecting world would soon be 'gifted' these prized weapons.
As my understanding of Curses and Souls grew, soon I was on the cusp of breaking into the Baron realm. I had spent an entire year in closed-door devilry.
Adding the year he spent in the Tutan World and the year I spent closed up studying mastering my Daos, I was now eighteen years old.
I would head out to do tasks from time to time, but mostly I spent my time holed up in my hut forging. Nothing would stop me from reaching the Baron realm!
I even got a notification when Wanfang broke through to Baron. As a young lord, I could not fall too far behind my followers. They would look down on me!
I forged my first Tier-3 cursed weapon after spending so much time mastering the [Curse Binding Scripture].
I took a few weeks of materials from the Tutan World supply for this one forging! It was time to make a glorious weapon.

Suffering oppression, Soulless forsakes his devil clan. With his Soul Eyes, he carves his own mark in the brutal Abyss. Through hook or crook, nothing will stop the young devil lord! Tune in every day for his shameless actions and his cruelty. Enjoy… The Rise of a Devil!

"That's not good! Retreat, quickly!" As he looked at the reactions of the audience, Shiroishi Kazuma felt his chest tightening. "We need to regroup and plan. Otherwise, there is a high chance we will fail again this time!"
Qian Youjin got up in a hurry. "Okay! Mr. Shi, I, too, am very worried now. If we don't do something to stop them now, our survival in the future… May I point my middle finger at the heavens?"
They all lived in the same world, how was it that they seemed to be worlds apart?
Shiroishi Kazuma was not an idiot. He could already imagine what would happen once this advertisement was put online. What he needed to do now was to minimize the effects.
It was inevitable that this would cause a storm, a fierce storm!
Soon, the fierce battle ended, and the entire West Fourth Loop Stadium almost went out of control!
Perfect publicity, perfect game, various new ways of playing! Each proved to the masses that this game was set to take over all other games. This game would become the first game of choice for all future e-sports!
At this point of time, the audience watching the game had all gone into a frenzy!
Dream Dota League!
"Perfect! This game is absolutely perfect!" This thought flashed through everyone's minds like lightning.
On the stage, ten heroes, each unique, were greeting the audience. Their synthesized voices rang out in the ears of the audience. "Welcome to Dream Dota League. Dear friends, let us stand shoulder to shoulder in our battle to the end!"
The mood was brought to a climax. The cheers and screaming melded into one. If sound could be turned into solid matter, the stadium would have been demolished as if it were hit by a comet.
In the VIP lounge, Hong Dali's classmates were all joyously watching the scene below. Ling Yi laughed and said, "Brother Dali, you're great! When the game launches, please give me a fully leveled account. Don't forget! We will go in and have our fun first. This game looks very exciting. Look at the surrounding audience, they are crazy with excitement!"
"I predict this game will be super popular! Brother Dali, when the time comes, let me play with you. This game is so fun, no matter what, I have to give it a try!" Du Xinzhen said with conviction.
Tang Muxin sighed. Suddenly, she laughed and said evilly, "Eh, Dali has a point. It takes skill to squander. Hehe!"
Unexpectedly, Hong Dali rubbed his chin and shook his head. He mumbled, "Not enough. It's still not enough!"
This was still not enough?
By now, Tang Muxin was already fully convinced of Dali's abilities. She asked hurriedly, "Dali, what do you plan to do then? Do you want to make the event grander? The problem is that today's event is already very grand!" Money was not an issue if they wanted to make the event grander. The thing was, she simply could not imagine how to make the event even more spectacular.
In truth, the event was already opulent enough as it was. The problem was that Hong Dali's system had just upgraded.
"All skill branches of the host's system are fully upgraded. Initiating system upgrade."
"Upgrading in progress, please wait…"
He didn't pay attention to it for a few days, and the system had upgraded! It seemed he had spent enough these few days!
Soon, the mechanic voice sounded again—
"Great Prodigal System, upgrade successful. Currently, Host has successfully upgraded from an elementary-prodigal to a super prodigal."
Wahahaha. I'm finally a Super Prodigal. Super duper cool!
The system continued—
"Super prodigal, for every ten million yuan squandered, Host will be rewarded an attribute point. The previous amount of money squandered will be completely cleared out, and everything will begin from zero.
"System Benefit One: [Technology], [Skill], [Survival], level up on all three branches. Benefit Explanation: The host may choose one branch to expand for every ten attribute points used."
"System Benefit Two: [Family and Friends skill upgrade: 3 attribute points may be used to exchange for one Family and Friends attribute point. Only Health and Charisma points may be used for exchange."
"Main Mission: Squander 100 million in two weeks. Mission Reward: 5 attribute points. Failure Penalty: Health of all Family and Friends is reduced by 30 points."
"After the host has completed a benefit branch, he can continue to exchange specific benefits with attribute points."
"[Side Mission 1 (Upgraded): The Caring Little Prodigal. Mission Requirement: Unknown. Current Progress: 0/100. Reward: 'Animal's Best Friend' title upgrade. Title Effect: Host can easily control any animals. Title Level: Level Three (Max). Additional explanation: This mission does not have to be completed. Once the System finishes upgrading, it will be erased.]"
"[Side Mission 2 (Upgraded): Nature's Little Prodigal. Mission Requirement: Unknown. Current Progress: 0/100. Mission Reward: 'Nature's Best Friend' title upgrade. Title Effect: Obtain the goodwill of nature, nullifies all elemental damage. Title Level: Level Three (Max). Additional explanation: This mission does not have to be completed. Once the System finishes upgrading, it will be erased.]"
What the…
Hong Dali was horrified. It was bad enough that it took ten million to get one attribute point. He also needed to squander one hundred million within two weeks! If he failed to do that, his family and friends would lose thirty points from their Health. Damn. It looked like he would have to spend more money faster!
Thinking of this, Hong Dali's palms perspired profusely.
Was this the fabled Super Prodigal?
Hong Dali took a deep breath. "We will go all the way this time—definitely the high-tech way!"
No one knew that Hong Dali's System had upgraded. However, everyone was waiting for his decision. They all wanted to know what would be "enough"…
"What I think is enough, yes, yes!" Hong Dali said sagely, "Think about it. If we were to use holographic projection like that, players would not be able to follow the map accurately, right? What we are doing is E-sports! E-sports! All we do is sit in a chair, that's not the way! What I am thinking is whether we can make it like one of those virtual reality web games. The kind where players wear a helmet which connects directly to the brain synapses. They will also wear a Virtual Reality suit, which means they can exercise and play at the same time. That way, it will be a real sport!"
Interactive Virtual Reality battles! That's what he was going to do!
"It's not a bad idea, but the problem is…" Tang Muxin gave it some thought and asked Lin Chuyin, who was next to her, "Sister Chuyin, is the current technology able to achieve that?"
"Oh, theoretically it should." Lin Chuyin nodded. "Brain signal connection is a branch of neural connection technology. If it's combined with a virtual node projection service, yes… and an activity space, it should work."
Everyone was shell shocked—according to Lin Chuyin, the future of gaming would have the player doing the motions in a large activity space. The Virtual Nodes Projection Suit would respond to the action of the player, connect to the helmet worn on the head, which would then transmit information to the brain. The result would be a spectacular holographic projection?!
Hong Dali only wanted to squander bigger when he embarked on this technological project. Liu Mingxin, however, knew all too well what kind of attention this new mode of gaming could attract—In this world, online gaming was not a big thing. Sports, however, were. Now that Hong Dali managed to combine both gaming and sports, what kind of new market would that form?!
This idea was fantastic! 
"This is good, this is good!" Tang Muxin no longer looked down on Hong Dali's prodigal ideas. The ideas this fellow came up with to squander were all fantastic. He even came up with something like this! "When can we start on this?" Tang Muxin asked.
"Start immediately. I can't wait anymore, haha!" Hong Dali glanced toward Ling Xiaoyi. "Sister Xiaoyi, please ask Chuyin for the material list when you get back. This time, we will have a budget of ten million. There's more if it's not enough!"
…
This session of Holographic Projection Dream Dota League ended at 10 PM. During this battle, there were no lengthy introductions. There were just three battles between different heroes.
When the battles ended, the excited audience was all unwilling to leave. They all requested another battle in waves of excited cheers.
The reason was simple—those who loved to game were nerds. To them, there was not much of a difference between 10 PM and 12 AM. It was common for them to spend the entire night playing rather than sleeping.
This game looked so fun, especially live. The almost real live battle hit close to the heart. It would not be a problem at all for them to watch others play for another two hours.
Hong Dali would obviously not do that…
On the next day, one of the players on site uploaded the video to So Cool. Early in the morning on the day after, every single website had a report regarding the use of Holographic Projection in the Dream Dota League on their main page. The internet went completely nuts over this news!
That was because of Holographic Projection and Hong Dali's excessiveness. Dali's productions must be the best!
From noon, anyone who had not played the game yet started to gather friends and form groups to enter the game to experience for themselves the excitement of the battles. The number of users of the official Tieba forum for Sangle exceeded two million within two hours. This was just the beginning. The number was still increasing. 
Later in the afternoon, the high definition video of the Holographic Projection had been downloaded more than three million times on So Cool. The profit from this was already negligible to Hong Dali whose pocket money was already twenty million.


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


The heavier an athlete was, the more of a burden his body had to bear. For an athlete who did hurdles, if he was heavy, he would consume more energy every time he hurdled, meaning his ankle would have to withstand more pressure every time he landed.
Therefore, an athlete of the 110m hurdles was much lighter than a 100m dash athlete. Feixiang Lin's height was around 190 centimeters, and his weight had reached its peak at 160 pounds. For an athlete of the 100m dash, who was the same height as Feixiang Lin, their weight was probably closer to 180 pounds, or even more in some cases.
Because Feixiang Lin had not taken his training seriously in the last two years or control his diet, he was already over 180 pounds. It was only due to his height that he did not look fat.
Obviously, 180 pounds was not an ideal weight for an athlete who did hurdles. Feixiang Lin knew that his main task was to lose weight, but he laughed with disdain when he heard the words "slimming exercises."
Feixiang Lin was indeed much fatter than he was before, but because he was still a professional athlete, he could not lose weight simply by doing slimming exercises. Besides, anyone who had even a bit of common sense would know that doing slimming exercises would have no effect on an athlete.
"Come, let's do the slimming exercises," Dai Li said seriously.
"You are kidding me," Feixiang Lin said, waving his hands.
"I am not joking with you." Dai Li became more serious.
Feixiang Lin shook his head and said, "I admit that your massage was very effective, but as for these slimming exercises, why don't you go do it yourself in the gym!"
"Do you see that scale? Go and weigh yourself, then do the slimming exercises with me. If you do not lose weight it will not do you any harm, and you can just consider it a warm-up," Dai Li said.
Feixiang Lin still did not believe him, but when he remembered that Dai Li would help him do the manipulation rehabilitation, he stood on the scale, weighed himself, and did the slimming exercises with Dai Li.
"These are just warm-up exercises for radio music! It cannot even be considered as a warm-up," Feixiang Lin thought.
"Stand on the scale and weigh yourself." Dai Li kept egging him on once they finished a set of slimming exercises.
Dai Li was full of expectation. Seeing his face, Feixiang Lin did not want hurt Dai Li's feelings, so he stepped on the scale unwillingly.
"Ah? The number has dropped? I have already lost 0.3 pounds in just twenty minutes. Seriously, what is going on?" Feixiang Lin turned around and looked at Dai Li, who was feeling very confident.
"Is this really because of the slimming exercises? No way! I cannot believe it!" Feixiang Lin stepped off the scale, looked at Dai Li, and felt very suspicious about this. He then said, "Let's do it again!"
"No problem!" Dai Li nodded.
Twenty minutes later, Feixiang Lin weighed himself a third time.
"I have lost another 0.22 pounds! Is this scale broken?" Feixiang Lin thought for a while, then stepped off the scale and put his shoes on it to see if the scale was broken or not.
"The weight of the shoes has not changed, which means the scale works fine. Is it possible that these slimming exercises really work? But isn't it strange that these slimming exercises, which are just like warm-up exercises, can really help me lose weight?"
Feixiang Lin looked at Dai Li.
"He has only massaged me once, yet I felt much better instantly; for these slimming exercises, I have only done one set, abut nd it works immediately. This is incredible, I think no one would ever believe me if I told them this, but is it possible that Dai Li is an alien?!"

Feixiang Lin was a very intelligent person, but he was completely stunned by Dai Li. However, he cared more about whether he could get back on the field, and whether he could be as good as he had been before.
Dai Li could help Feixiang Lin recover and lose weight, which already made him qualified enough for Feixiang Lin to follow his every order.
Feixiang Lin was like someone drowning in the middle of an ocean, while Dai Li was like an island. Even if it was an uninhabited island where there were many beasts, and the food was not edible unless it had been cooked, Feixiang Lin would try his best to swim to the island because it was his only chance at survival.
After earning Feixiang Lin's trust, Dai Li began to lead Feixiang Lin through the slimming exercises. For an athlete of the hurdle, the lower his BFP (body fat percentage) was, the better. The slimming exercises could help Feixiang Lin achieve just that, and lose any excess fat.
Inside the training hall, Dai Li began to count numbers everyone was familiar with.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight; Two, two, three, four..."
...
"My eyes are not deceiving me today. Feixiang Lin is not late for training! He came before 8 o'clock."
"It seems as if the prodigal son has returned! With his talent, he will probably win another world championship if he works hard on his training."
"Come look, what is Feixiang Lin doing? Is he doing slimming exercises to radio music?"
"Probably not. Why would he come here an hour earlier just to do slimming exercises to radio music?! Is it possible that he is warming up?"
"For us, that amount of slimming exercise is everything but a warm-up! I do not think we would even sweat!"
"I have heard that Feixiang Lin is going to take part in an activity at the Hope Primary School. Maybe doing the slimming exercises to radio music is part of the activity, and he is preparing for it beforehand."
"I think you are probably right, but since when did slimming exercises to radio music look like this? Which set is this? Anyway, it is completely different from the one I did when I was in school."
The athletes in the training hall were speaking in low voices. Meanwhile, Coach Ding Jihai's face was turning rather gloomy.
"I thought you were the prodigal son that had returned and planned to come back to training. I never thought the reason you would come here is just to do some slimming exercises! Feixiang Lin, you have truly disappointed me. Maybe you really are beyond helping now!" Coach Ding Jihai let out a long sigh. He felt quite sad.
...
"I have lost four pounds today! If I keep doing this for ten more days, I can be as slim and strong as I was before," Feixiang Lin said confidently.
As he was speaking, Dai Li was dong the manipulation rehabilitation for him. He said, "Do not be too optimistic. The reason you have lost four pounds in one day is because that you have a lot of fat. Once the fat begins to decrease, you cannot lose it as quickly as you did today."
"How long will it take for me to be 160 pounds again?" Feixiang Lin asked.
"About a month!" Dai Li thought for a while, then said, "I hope that you can be fully recovered within the next month. I will help you be as good as your old self by the third month."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Feixiang Lin asked.
"Do not forget, I was only transferred here temporarily. I can only stay here for three months, and it is almost the end of the first month." Dai Li became very serious. "I hope that before I leave, the old, invincible Feixiang Lin can come back!"


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

After a long day, Anna and the others finally returned to the hotel they are staying at, but before they go to their separate rooms, they went to have dinner first.
While making sure that Alexandre is entertained, Alfonso noticed that change in Kyle's mood. With a curious look on his face, he faces Anna and asked. "What happened to him? He's been quiet all this time."
Though is normal for Kyle to stay quiet, Alfonso knows that Kyle likes to keep talking to Anna. Since there is no conversation between Anna and Kyle, he thinks that these two had an argument after he left them earlier.
"Well, I think it's better if you ask him directly, Uncle," Anna said with a forceful smile. She would love to share what happened to Alfonso, but Anna felt that she has no right to do it. And besides, it seems like Kyle doesn't like to share the of what happened.
"That's a bit suspicious but okay. I'll ask him." Alfonso then turn his attention to the quiet man, and asked, "Kyle, is there something that is bothering you? You know that you can tell me anything that you, right?" 
If there is something that is bothering his nephew, there is no question needed. He will help Kyle in any way that he can.
After hearing that, Kyle looks at Alfonso, then to Anna. In Alfonso's point of view, it seems like Kyle is having a problem with Anna, but that is not the case. Kyle is actually embarrassed by the words that he said earlier.
How could he have declared such a thing? He is a son of a Robertson, and just like the Coleman family, they are as prideful as them. But to think that released his temper just like that is somehow making him think that he disgraced his family name.
Alfonso sighed before saying a word. "If you two had an argument earlier, then please, fix it now. I don't want this to continue until tomorrow. There is a show tomorrow and I want it to be perfect." Alfonso also has a side of him that wants everything of his work is perfect, including the show that he is looking forward to. 
He wants Anna and Kyle to be in their best mood tomorrow, and if they are fighting right now, he wants it fixed.
"No, no, no. You've got it all wrong, Uncle Alfonso. We're not fighting or anything." In fact, if they would happen to have a disagreement, Kyle thinks that he will be the first one to give in and let Anna have the win. That is the type of person he is, just like his father. "It's just that, I'm embarrassed about the things that I said earlier." He said honestly.
Noticing the slight blush on Kyle's face, Alfonso can't help but find him cute. 'I never have imagined seeing him like this. Poor guy.' Alfonso inwardly said.
"Embarrassed? What are you embarrassed about?" Alfonso asked in a confused tone. When he came back to see his son earlier, he saw that May and the other models are holding back their laughter while Anna was slightly dumbfounded. But he shrugged it off, he did not bother to ask what happened. But now that he thinks about it, it seems like what happened earlier is related to the conversation they are having now.
With a heavy mood, Kyle started to tell everything that happened after Alfonso left. After listening to Kyle's story, Alfonso stared at Kyle with a troubled look on his face.
"You know, that expression that you are making right now is not really helping me feel better." Kyle straightforwardly commented.
"Kyle, you are not a kid anymore, and I advise you not to do that again because come on, you don't want to act like that in front of the girl you like. From the moment, May is saying those words at you, May is clearly targeting at you on purpose." Alfonso might like to tease his nephew from time to time, but he would not like to tease Kyle out in the public. After all, the Robertson family's name does reflect on him too.
People nowadays like to exaggerate on things, that is why he would like for Kyle to keep his cool in check.
Kyle didn't say anything, his uncle Alfonso is right. It would be uncool of him to say things like that in front of Anna. He would not want Anna to think that he is overly possessive because it might drive her away from him.
"It's alright, Uncle," Anna spoke in a shy tone of voice. "Sometimes, it's nice to see Kyle being like that." Because of Kyle, Anna is experiencing things that she had not given the chance to experience it in her past life. That is why it's alright for Kyle to act like that in front of her from time to time. It makes her feel secure that she has a strong foothold in Kyle's heart.
With a displeased look on his face, Alfonso made a comment, "I hate young love. You two and the other young people think that all you know what love is. Ridiculous!" 
When he was their age, he thought that he understood what love is, but even now he is still not sure what love is. And if Anna and Kyle think that they know the meaning of love, then they are wrong.
He may have a different point of view of what love is, but he is sure that the definition Anna and Kyle have is not a complete definition. There are still a lot of challenges ahead of them, and that challenge is not yet here or they have not yet overcome it yet, then Alfonso wouldn't dare to say that they don't know what's the real definition of love.
Deciding to have all his attention on his son, Alfonso said to him, "My dearest baby, don't be like your cousin. Don't ever be like him or else, my heart will be sad for you." Those words triggered Kyle, but he did not dare to say anything.
After their nice evening dinner, Alfonso and his son went back to their room. As for Anna and Kyle, they went outside where the pool is. They both sat on a bench, feeling the breeze touch their skin. They also watched the night sky above them.
"The night sky this evening is so beautiful." Anna is happy at the fact that she could spend a night like this with Kyle. There is no cloud above them, and they clearly see the full moon and the star.
The sight was so breathtaking that she wishes that it should be always like this.
"Yes. It is beautiful." Just like Anna, Kyle also wishes that this kind of evening should always be like this. Tonight's mood shines brighter tonight, and in Kyle's point of view, it seems like the moon's light directing towards Anna.
It makes Anna more beautiful than ever. Kyle sure is glad that Anna has no interest in becoming a model or else, there will be a lot of men looking at Anna's picture. He could not stand the thought of people staring at Anna's beauty and body.
Even now, from time to time, there are tabloids about Anna. And whenever he sees a male looking at that tabloid, he has this urge to bring down the company who releases that tabloid.
Kyle sighs at his own possessiveness. Before getting to know Anna, he never had this kind of urge to have her all to himself. And whenever he hears Erik saying that he will one day be possessive to one woman, he always says that it's such a disgrace to be like that.
Looking at him now, it seems like his words are biting him back.
Before Anna completely entered his life, the only thing he had in his mind is to make sure that when he take over his family business, all of his focus will be in on that business. As for having a partner, he will let his mother decide for him. He will only marry for the sake of having an heir.
Now, everything is different, and he wants to make sure that all of the things that he said before will never reach Anna's ears. He doesn't want her to think anything less of him.
"For the last day of this trip, I hope you don't mind me taking you somewhere." Kyle suddenly said to Anna.
With a curious look, Anna turns around to face him. "Sure. I don't mind. I'm planning to spend time with you on that day anyway. But I do wanna know where you are taking me." 
"I do want to tell you where, but I want to keep it as a secret for now." With confidence in his heart, Kyle is sure that Anna will like the place he plans to take her.
Seeing that smile in Kyle's face, Anna slightly blushed. 'It's not fair of you to smile at me like that!' Anna inwardly said.


She was only six years old when her father suddenly mysteriously disappeared without any trace.

At the age of sixteen, her mother died in a car accident; some claims that her mother suicide and some claims that it was only a natural accident.

Finally, at the age of twenty-two, she was wedded on that day and at the same time, she was killed by her so-called best friend and her lover. They have betrayed her, all the years that they have spent together were crushed on that day. She thought that it was all genuine but it was, in fact, all fake.

She died with so much hatred in her heart that the heavens granted her a second chance. A chance to change all the wrongs that she did, to avoid the flags that will bring her down.

Did the heavens pity her for being naive? But that does not matter now. The heavens gave her this second chance and she won't waste it to the likes of her fake best friend and that so-called lover of hers.

The heavens allowed her to wake up at the age of sixteen where things are not that disastrous. This time in her second life, she make those who hurt her and her family down without any hesitation.

Fang Jifan rubbed his eyes, staring blankly at the red curtain of Zhu Zhu in front of him, and in the distance was a piece of furniture such as a dazzling piano case and a rosewood stool.
Standing in front of the curtain, there was a guy in a small blue cap, staring at him desperately, and then this guy showed a very embarrassed smile, with a flirtatious charming smile: "The young man woke up ..."
Fang Jifan was a little bit nervous, this is ... wearing ... through, because he clearly heard that the man in the Tsing Yi cap speaks Fengyang Mandarin. As an expert in Ming history, Fang Jifan can be 100% sure that the furnishings here, but also With this inexplicable man, in his own era, even a large investment in film and television, it was impossible to set up such a scene.
No panic or fright, Fang Jifan had some excitement in his heart, and after doing so many years of learning, unexpectedly today he can glimpse the ancients!
The ancients, looking at this guy who laughed a little bit, Fang Jifan couldn't help thinking, this is ... the ancients?
"This is the year of *******?" Fang Jifan saw a calligraphy on the wall, and the title of the post was a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty.
By the bed, the system of the Xuanqin case also attracted the attention of Fang Jifan. This is the style of the mid-Ming Dynasty. After the ******* Dynasty, it was not very popular. The Xuanqin case seems to be a new system. So it is estimated that this should be There is no doubt about the era of *******.
The man in the Tsing Yi cap nodded, but still looked straight at Fang Jifan.
Having been determined, Fang Jifan slammed up from the bed, patted his thigh, and said excitedly, "Ning Wang is still there? There is a rebellion of the little prince in the north. The handicraft industry in the south has begun to rise ..." Fang Jifan A look of eyebrows fluttered: "The emperor today is also a sage, there is so much to do ..."
Ji Fang Jifan is very excited. This is a good time. The male husband, studying, and studying history, ca n't help but have too many regrets. He did n't have much success in his last life, and he finally came to a place of usefulness.
Fang Jifan couldn't help but want to laugh, because he worked in the library and studied Ming history. Not only does Ming history know a lot about it, it is about the local history of this era, he knows it well, and speaks something awkward. There were several thieves in the county on the few days of the month, and their amazing memory was also impressive.
I have been alone for a long time, and it seems not bad to come to this age.
Qi Fang Jifan even admired his own heart ... very big.
The guy in the Tsing Yi cap changed his face, hesitatingly: "Master ... you ... you say ... there is something promising?"
"Yeah." Fang Jifan cheered up, and he was a young master. Then this person was either a book boy or a long-time follower. His excitement had not passed yet, and he expressed his enthusiasm: "The man's eldest husband is alive. "
Speaking of which, the face of the man in Tsing Yi 's hat changed from doubt to sorrow. He yelled, "Master ... Master ... is sick again ... come ... come ..."
Qi Fang Jifan was shocked, what is this ... what happened?
  Snapped...
The door was suddenly knocked open by several strong men, and they looked like wolves and tigers.
Outside the sun, the sun also sprinkled in, and these burly bodies covered the extra light.
Then, a man with a quivering shirt and a goatee, a gentleman-like appearance, stepped on his back with a medicine chest and said with excitement: "Master, master's illness ... committed another ... fast, fast, needle ! "
With a quick order, those elite men rushed towards Fang Jifan and immediately controlled Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan's pupils contracted, NMGB, he cursed, because he saw that old gentleman had removed the inch-long silver needle from the box, with a sad look on his face, Chao Fangfan said: "The disease suffered by the young master is the brain Disease, do n't be afraid to avoid illness, come here, do n't be afraid, do n't be afraid ... just get a shot ... "
Ji Fang Jifan was so frightened that his jaw would fall off: "I ... I'm not sick ..."
The doctor applied the needle and shook his head, saying, "Yes, I used to have this symptom when I was ill. Master, bear with me. The acupuncture method of the old man was uploaded by Naizu. He can treat the disease, and he can still exercise. Master, you lie down! "
  what...
With the general howl to kill pigs, Fang Jifan did not make a sound after half a ring.
Hands and feet are controlled, and the old gentleman actually directly inserted the silver needle into his back of the brain. Fang Jifan stopped crying, but he was scared to bite his teeth and did not dare to move. For fear of moving, the old gentleman The needle was skewed.
The most important thing is that I was afraid of getting an injection from an early age!
A needle so long, pierced into the head, this is a cure, this is a murder, your uncle!
Before the needle was taken out, the old man sighed with a beard and shook his head again. "The brain-disabled has no medicine, and the old man just presses the ancient prescription to temporarily control the illness. Whether he can be cured is up to his master's luck. . "
The guy in the Tsing Yi cap hid on the edge of the couch and whispered in a low voice: "Master, master, Doctor Fang is a famous doctor invited by Uncle, don't be afraid, just a few months' needle will be fine, Uncle repaired the book The family has commanded that as long as the master's illness is good, no matter what method is used ... In short, there must be no medical taboos ... Master is the only son of Uncle. Master can bear it ... bear it ...
Xi Fang Jifan's face was pale, but he was trembling.
Uh .........
Noon.
The view outside the window was pleasant, but Fang Jifan was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery!
This is the twenty-seventh day that Fang Jifan came to this world. Of course, he doesn't know how many needles have been pierced. Each time he pierces the needle, the other side of the fan is in the ghost gate.
An ancient 'famous doctor' pierced the silver needle into your back of the head and stirred it a little. Fang Jifan thought about it and shuddered.
Twenty-seven days are enough to make Fang Jifan understand everything.
The original master of this body was the only son of Daming Nan and Bo Fang Jinglong.
The hereditary Count of the Fang family was earned during the battle of Jingnan. The ancestors followed the Yan King Zhu Xi from the dragon to Nanjing from Peiping City. Zhu Xi was kind and gave an iron rice bowl with a big hand.
And the master of this body ...
Well, it's no wonder that I only say a word about how a manly husband can be regarded as a mental disability, because this is a complete scum scum, the biggest evil in the capital, and the prodigal of the prodigal, it can be called full of evil.
A few days ago, this was sick, so I invited a famous doctor to see it. I wanted to come because of a mental problem and never gave up the treatment. After Fang Jifan passed through, he was mistaken for the fact that he was not good because he and The former prodigal had very different personalities, so ... the treatment continued ...
I'm so stupid.
Ji Fang Jifan introspected himself. He was still too young. When he first arrived, what did he say to people to build a career and serve the country and the people?
A prodigal boy with a lot of bad behavior, behaves so abnormally, in the eyes of others, not neuropathy, what is it?
Well, in order to give up treatment, he must have Fang Jifan more than Fang Jifan.
At this time, the door of the bedroom was opened, and a small girl with a good face came in, followed by Fang Jifan's long follower, the guy in the Tsing Yi cap, called Deng Jian.
A new day has begun.
Qi Fang Jifan took a deep breath. For more than 20 days, he had figured out the rules and roughly understood the background of the family. Naturally, he had already thoroughly understood the original Fang Jifan.
When the little girl arrived at the couch, she saluted: "Master, get up."
Fang Jifan opened his eyes, showing impatience. He cheered himself up: "Prodigal son, prodigal son, buddy is a prodigal son, and should not be exposed."
Xi Fangji Fan's fiercely said, "What time is it? Early in the morning, what is the name of a ghost?"
Xiao Xiaoya's face was scared and slightly unnatural: "Sun ... three shots."
"Only three shots ..." Fang Jifan tusks: "Master, am I the one who got up three shots? Sleep for another hour!"
Deng Jian, wearing a Tsing Yi cap, nodded and said, "Master, it's too early, but I'm afraid the master is hungry ..."
"Okay, okay ..." Fang Jifan had to stand up and change clothes with the little girl's help.
Deng Jian, who was aside, laughed lowly: "The young master is wise, the young master is martial, the young master is not changed, admired by the villain, and throws himself into the ground."
"Go to you!" Fang Jifan raised his leg, turned Deng Jian with a kick, and said angrily: "Master, except handsome and handsome, has nothing to do, how dare you say wise and sacred? Wise and sacred can eat as a meal? Dog The same thing. "
Deng Jian rolled on the ground and burst into tears.
Fang Jifan was shocked in his heart. Why is it that Fang Caiyi was serious? Sin, sin, I'm really sorry, but ... hey, buddy is also very embarrassed. If Master Ben is gentle and gentle, how can he give up treatment?
Who would have expected it, Deng Jian rolled up suddenly, but leaned his head, and said with excitement: "Master's illness is finally better, small ... small ... I am really happy for the master, and the cry is joyful and crying."
  Ok?
Can Fang Jifan stay like a chicken?

There is less evil.
Hongzhi eleven years. It was a wonderful morning. At this time, Zhu Houzhao was an adult. At this time, Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu sharpened their swords in preparation for the Imperial Examination. At this time, the Xiaobinghe era was in the landlord's fool Nanhe Bofu, Nanhe Bo's successor Fang Jifan ... began his prodigal life.

"Damn you're a savage man," Dan said with a wry smile on his face. Michael who casually sat before him revealed a small smile of his own before saying, "What else should I do at that time? Should I just let him go without paying for anything?" 

Dan stared at Michael and found that the latter looked nonchalant as if nothing happened. He even ordered numerous expensive dishes and when they arrived, Dan remembered a certain matter and turned pensive.

"Comrade, how many jadeslips do you have about that young woman that you displayed to me earlier..." Dan clasped his hands together and an air of a businessman enveloped his body. Michael's figure shook for a moment before crossing his arms together and proudly announcing,

"I still have at least a hundred jadeslips of the Lightning Empress, Natalie Longinus." With a flick of his wrist, an ensemble of jadeslip manifested above the table. Michael moved his body closer and whispered, "You have some fine tastes, Comrade, according to my informants, the Lightning Empress, Natalie Longinus actually has a child, so she's a mother and quite a fine one at that..."

Dan saw Michael's lecherous smirk and suppressed the urge to smack him down on the ground. Darting his gaze on the jadeslips, Dan's hands blurred and safely recovered everything. "Are you sure that this is everything? There should be some top-secret jadeslips, right?" 

Michael's expression flickered for a moment before he lifted both of his arms in defeat, "Why do you look like you've been doing this for a while, Comrade? To think that you actually knew about the existence of the top-secret jadeslips." He inserted his hand inside his robe and revealed three jadeslips that looked ordinary and average.

If not for the faint trace of deep-sea gold on its body, one would find it hard to differentiate from the average jadeslips. 

"Are you sure that you're gonna take these top-secret jadeslips? They're quite expensive, you know?" Michael revealed a sly smile, his eyes flashed in resplendent lights as he stared at Dan as if staring at a fat piece of lamb.

Michael allowed him to scan a jadeslip as a preview of its contents and when Dan infused his Spiritual Qi inside the jadeslip. A high-definition image of Natalie sleeping clad with nothing but her nightgown carved itself inside Dan's mind. 

Dan's expression changed, if the preview image actually had such a juicy picture, what about the contents of the entire jadeslip? And what's more, there existed three of them!

Dan sharply exhaled and offered his price, at this moment, a fierce battle of haggling between a merchant and a buyer has commenced!

"You're a tough nut to crack, aren't you?" Dan sipped his tea and stared at Michael who scratched his head in awkwardness, "Comrade, as a diehard fan of the Lightning Empress, you should know about the difficulty of entering the Fragrant Peak Pavilion, the price that I offered you is the lowest that I can go..."

Dan clicked his tongue and returned his cup of tea on the saucer, "Fine, however, let me reserve all the images that you have for the Lightning Empress, everything, all images from the past and the future should be given to me!" Dan declared and Michael stared at Dan with admiration inside his eyes.

It was the first time that he saw such a fan that was willing to sacrifice a part of his wealth just to acquire exclusive rights for the images of their idols. Dan's position inside Michael's heart soared towards the peak. Such a man, he's definitely worth befriending. Michael thought in his mind.

On the other hand, Dan maintained his calm and thought to himself, "Hmmph! How could I let anyone ogle my wife's body?" He simulated a plan on how he could reinforce the defenses around the Fragrant Peak Pavilion. 

The transaction went through and both sides reached an agreement. Dan paid the price of two hundred offensive talismans and a hundred defensive talismans along with ten thousand gold coins. As for the exclusive rights for Natalie's images, he bought it for fifty thousand gold coins.

It was the first time that Michael had such a prodigal customer like Dan. His courtesy soared through the skies and he acted as if Dan was his grandfather. His face revealed a constant refreshing smile. However, when Dan saw his actions, he suppressed the urge to smack him down on the ground, thinking to himself that Michael could become his bridge when it comes to building his own influence in the Academy.

The two ate together and spoke cordially with each other, after finishing their meals. Michael promised Dan that he would deliver more images at the end of the month and retired back to his home. Little did Michael knew that after this transaction, he wouldn't be able to infiltrate the Fragrant Peak Pavilion anymore.

Walking down the street, Dan walked at a constant pace and he reached the Fragrant Peak Pavilion after several hours of walking. Behind the gates, Dan could see Natalie, Grace and his daughter, Juliet training with each other with sweat dotted on their foreheads.

Grace's expression looked refreshed and didn't have the nervousness and tenseness that he had when she first arrived in the pavilion. Her quick adjustments with the environment indicated Natalie's skills in reception. 

Dan's expression softened when he saw how hard working his daughter was. In this world, people normally cultivated at the age of ten and Juliet started her journey while she was just nine years old. One could see her advantage because of her early start.

Dan took his authority token and a creaking sound resonated. The sound garnered the attention of the three figures and when they noticed Dan's figure. The first one who leaped in his arms was Juliet who tightly latched on his neck, 

"Welcome back, Papa!" The little girl didn't seem to notice that she was rubbing her sweaty body on Dan's robe. The latter didn't mind it and rubbed her back. Natalie also approached him from the side, "Dear, how was the training with Senior George, did everything went well?" She expressed her concern with her tone and Dan lifted his lips in a smile.

"Yep, I'll tell you more about it later," Dan's nose twitched, "How about the three of you take a shower first?" He suggested and Grace's expression flushed red before dashing back inside the Pavilion. Natalie puffed her cheeks and took Juliet from his neck as she said, "Okay, we're gonna take a shower, it'll be quick..." 

Dan couldn't help but chuckle upon witnessing Natalie's embarrassed and retreating figure. Dan didn't want to criticize them for smelling bad. He forced them to take a shower so that he could surprise them when they return.

Entering the Pavilion, Dan found Natalie's residence and entered the kitchen. Staring at the familiar utensils, a small smile lifted on Dan's lips as he loosened his robe and entered into cooking mode. 

Fetching numerous ingredients, Dan only took three breaths and sliced them cleanly. Soon, the fragrant smell of meat and the wholesome aroma of vegetables wafted out in the air. Back in his previous life, Dan was a lonely man who lived by himself. 

To save some money, he taught himself some recipes that he never expected that it would become this handy once he had his own family. Thinking about how a failure he was in his previous life, Dan couldn't help but shake his head, "The past is past, why should I keep dwelling on it instead of moving on. Now that I have my family here and I am living well, I should cherish such moments and spend more time with them, together..." 

He couldn't help but become somewhat teary when he felt the love and warmth that the two women in his life bestowed upon him.

Wrapping up everything in the kitchen, Dan lined the dishes above the jade table and when Natalie, Grace, and Juliet returned from their bath. The scene of witnessing numerous glamorous and delicious looking dishes astounded them.

"Dear, you prepared all of these in such a short amount of time?" Natalie commented amidst her widened eyes. 

Dan chuckled and said, "Yep, these dishes are original recipes of mine that I frequently used when the time is tight, especially when there are in-game events that I don't want to miss..."

"In-game events?" Natalie mumbled in confusion and Dan shook his head with a chuckle, "Forget about it, just take a seat and let's just eat," Grace bowed her head in respect before taking her seat and Juliet ran towards her father and leaped on his lap.

"Juliet, don't sit there, you're disturbing your Papa..." Natalie said with a frown and Dan rubbed Juliet's back as he said, "It's fine, it's fine, it's not like I can do this every day, you know? I'll just indulge her just this time..." His words silenced her and the three figures started their meal, smiling to each other, the three finally entered a comfortable mood as Dan kept on bragging about his endurance and willpower when he faced George's terrifying training.

"Ah! Now that I think about it!" Natalie clapped her hands together before taking a jadeslip, "Natalie Longinus is requesting a three day leave for familial reasons..." Dan saw her actions and asked, "A three day leave? Why would you do such a thing?" 

Natalie turned speechless before mumbling amidst her reddened countenance, "I'm taking a three day leave because I don't think that you will let me go for at least three days..." Hearing this, Dan almost choked in his tea and Grace who understood the underlying meaning couldn't help but blush in return. 

Only Juliet remained joyful and kept on stuffing her mouth with the dishes that her beloved Papa, made.

In a world fraught with innumerable dangers where living day by day is a struggle, a young man from the modern age transmigrated into such a world, accompanied by a peculiar system made for assassination.
