Xiahou Aotian shook his head slightly:

"They say with great power comes great responsibility, but that's not true. The reality is often that the greater the power, the lighter the responsibility, because no one dares to punish the strong. However, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

"Uncle, I've figured it out. The position of the Xiahou Family Head is a shackle for me. I don't want to be held back by family trivia or waste my energy on mediocre clansmen. Besides, the development of the Xiahou family has reached a bottleneck. No matter how well I do, I can't surpass you, Uncle."

Hearing this, the old Xiahou Family Head almost burst into tears, his face filled with relief. "After experiencing so much, you've finally grown up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiahou Aotian changed the subject and laughed wildly:

"So, I'm going to develop in the Third District and establish a new Xiahou family. When that time comes, I will be the first Xiahou Family Head, surpassing you and the ancestors in one fell swoop.

"I've already contacted many young people from the Xiahou family who admire me. When the time is right, we will collectively break away from the Xiahou family, hahaha..."

The old Xiahou Family Head silently pulled out a forging hammer: "Hand over the list of those traitors."

...

Songhai.

Yuanzi Composite's ex-girlfriend? Grandpa and Grandma looked at Zhang Yuanqing at the same time, then nervously at Fu Xue and Guan Ya, only to find that both Fu Xue and Guan Ya were unexpectedly calm.

Although Guan Ya's displeasure and dissatisfaction were written all over her face, she was still too calm, like a wife in feudal times whose husband had taken a concubine. Although she was unhappy, she was helpless.

Generally, in this kind of situation, as a girlfriend, and a "lower-class" girlfriend, shouldn't she slam the chopsticks down, scold Yuanzi for being a two-timing scumbag, slap him in the face, announce the breakup on the spot, and leave with a flick of her sleeves!

And as Fu Xue, who runs a group with assets of tens of billions, shouldn't she say with a sneer: Losing my daughter is the greatest misfortune of your Chen family! Chen Shu, our relationship is over, and those orders worth hundreds of millions are void!

But this powerful woman just glanced at it and looked away, continuing to pick up food. Her beautiful face was calm, as if saying: It's just that my son-in-law took a concubine, what's the big deal.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Jiang Yuer, who was trying to stir things up, and nodded to Yin Ji: "Sit down and eat together."

His expression was calm and dignified, giving his grandparents the illusion of an old leader speaking: "This is my grandma and grandpa, this is my mom and dad..."

He introduced them one by one.

Yin Ji smiled gently. When Zhang Yuanqing introduced his grandma, she called her grandma, and when he introduced his grandpa, she called him grandpa.

Chen Shu and Zhang Zizhen addressed them as uncle and aunt.

This strange harmony made the old couple feel unsure. They looked at their daughter and son-in-law frequently, but Chen Shu and Zhang Zizhen's expressions seemed to say: Oh, another daughter-in-law, sit down, let's eat together!

Yin Ji sat down a little nervously, taking the bowl and chopsticks that Jiang Yuer had diligently handed over.

In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Grandma cleared her throat and said with a forced smile:

"Yuer, don't joke around. This girl is your colleague, right?"

Jiang Yuer blinked her innocent eyes:

"No, her name is Yin Ji, Yuanzi's ex-girlfriend. They used to be dating, but Yin Ji's elders didn't agree. In order to fight against her parents, Yin Ji ran away from home, but she didn't expect Yuanzi to chicken out first and break up with her.

"I heard they got back together recently. Yuanzi, what's going on? Haven't you broken up with Guan Ya yet?"

Zhang Yuanqing said sternly, "Shut up and eat!"

Although what you are doing might embarrass both Guan Ya and Yin Ji, what's the point of tormenting these two old people who are really sitting on pins and needles?

Sure enough, Grandpa and Grandma's faces froze.

Grandma kept hinting to Chen Shu with her eyes, what should she do?

Chen Shu pretended not to see it, thinking to herself, Mom, do you think Yuanzi is two-timing? This is actually a drama with three daughters-in-law.

Grandpa and Grandma finished the family dinner in agony. Grandma used the excuse of cleaning up the dishes to call Zhang Yuanqing to the kitchen.

As soon as the kitchen door was closed, she instinctively wanted to shave Zhang Yuanqing's head, but she retracted her hand halfway, and said angrily:

"What's wrong with you? Is that Yin Ji really your ex-girlfriend? How come I didn't know? You've learned how to two-time now, haven't you? Do you know how embarrassed your grandpa and I were just now?

"Your mom will have to pass the buck to me later, saying I didn't teach you well."

Zhang Yuanqing took the initiative to wash the dishes, his tone as steady as an old dog: "Why don't you ask your daughter what's going on, bringing my ex-girlfriend home."

He had just taken a look at the chat group and roughly guessed what had happened.

Guan Ya was secretly showing off in the group, which made Sun Miaomiao unhappy, so Sun Miaomiao told Jiang Yuer about it, and Jiang Yuer brought Yin Ji back to ruin the situation.

"You really got back together?" Grandma said angrily, "What about Guan Ya!"

"Just marry them both," Zhang Yuanqing said lightly.

Grandma raised her hand again in anger.

In the end, she didn't hit him, sighing deeply, "Those who should be looking for boyfriends don't look, and they're always pretending to be young. Those who should be looking for girlfriends don't look, and they only know how to work. You actually found a girlfriend, but you're two-timing."

Grandma poked her grandson's head with a finger: "What, does your family have a throne to inherit that you have to marry two?"

"I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it," Zhang Yuanqing said with an unwavering expression.

Grandma snorted coldly, braced herself and walked out of the kitchen to entertain the guests.

...

Jinshan City, Wuhen Hotel.

The hotel, which had been closed for more than half a year, reopened. It set off firecrackers early in the morning and put up a notice at the door: Grand Opening, 50% discount on accommodation fees.

However, it was still deserted, and no guests had entered for most of the day.

It was normal for there to be no guests during the Spring Festival, and it was also normal for the Wuhen Hotel to have no guests.

So the aloof mature woman behind the counter didn't care at all. She stood there expressionlessly all day wearing a burgundy uniform.

Dusk, the setting sun.

The deserted hotel finally welcomed a guest.

As soon as the guest entered, he pulled down the rolling shutter door with a whoosh, walked straight to the counter, and said:

"Accommodation!"

The mature woman with bright features glanced at the closed rolling shutter door and said calmly, "If you want accommodation, then you want accommodation, why are you closing the door? The hotel is still open."

The guest stepped over the counter, picked her up in his arms, and walked towards the elevator, laughing:

"It's closed, and it will be closed tomorrow too. One day and one night for the Sun Lord."

Xiao Yuan nestled in his arms, her sinking body outlining her plump buttocks, and her sexy legs in black silk swayed with his steps.

She curled the corners of her mouth.

...

Late at night, Huang Taiji finished his company affairs, turned off the computer and lights, walked through the reception area of the president's office, entered the password, and opened the anti-theft door of the lounge.

He usually lives in the lounge next to the office, a 160-square-meter hotel-style suite.

Huang Taiji's life has almost no entertainment. He works, cultivates, reads, and has fixed female companions, day after day, boring and tasteless.

On the one hand, the characteristics of the Earth Master profession determine his personality.

On the other hand, as the grandson of the former Grand Elder, his words and deeds would be magnified and nitpicked by those with ulterior motives, so he chose to keep a low profile.

Occasionally, he would feel vain, so he participated in the annual arena competition.

However, since Yuan Shitianzun publicly called him father last year, he has had no connection with keeping a low profile. The middle and high-level members of the Five Elements Alliance and the subordinates of the branches call him Godfather when they see him.

Recently, after Yuan Shitianzun was promoted to Sun Lord, his certification on the official forum has added the honorable title of "Father of the Sun."

Huang Taiji pretended to be disdainful, with the words "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, Yuan Shitianzun is really..." on his lips.

In fact, he was secretly pleased.

After a simple wash, Huang Taiji changed into his pajamas and went to sleep. Although the Sovereign-level Earth Masters have basically said goodbye to sleep, a comfortable "hibernation" will give the brain the comfort and refreshment of taking a hot bath.

At this moment, the Spirit Realm prompt sounded in his ears:

[Ding, the Spirit Realm map is opening. You will enter the Spirit Realm in 30 seconds. The Spirit Realm you are entering this time is "The Sun Lord's Back Garden", number: 0]

[Difficulty level: Unknown]

[Type: Multiplayer (non-death type)]

[Main task: Build a palace for the Sun Lord within five days. ]

[Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.]

[Introduction to Spirit Realm No. 0: The Sun Lord's power suppresses the heavens and intimidates living beings. It is not suitable to live in the real world. He wants to build his own palace in the Spirit Realm, so he summons skilled craftsmen from all over the world to gather in the Spirit Realm. ]

The picture blurred quickly, and when it became clear again, Huang Taiji found himself in a barren desert, surrounded by figures appearing.

He looked around at the crowd and saw many familiar faces, including subordinates of construction groups, official colleagues, and people from Spirit Realm families.

The professions were roughly divided into three types: Earth Masters, Wood Demons, and Scholars.

The representatives of the latter two were Ling Jun and Xiahou Aotian.

Xiahou Aotian looked around, first met with Ling Jun, and then came over together. Before he got close, Xiahou Aotian gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn it, they actually want us to be laborers and build a palace for him. This Sun Lord is as tyrannical as Zhou, as dictatorial as Qin, and as lewd as Sui. How hateful!"

Ling Jun didn't care and said, "He's already the Sun Lord. What's wrong with letting us ants build a palace for him? Besides, it's just building a palace. There's no danger, but there are rewards, rewards given by the Sun Lord."

After speaking, he said loudly:

"The Father of the Sun and the Teacher of the Sun are here, everyone, come and sign up quickly."

Huang Taiji silently straightened his back.

...

Five days later, the distant suburbs of Beijing.

In the primeval forest with overlapping mountains, nestled in the dense mountain forest, is a cluster of buildings that use a large number of sun rooms, like a tropical plant research institute. In a sun room in a higher position, Miao Teng'er, with her snow-white skin, cherry lips, exquisite beauty, and eyes like a forest fawn, was looking down and teasing a snow-white squirrel.

She spends every day in the sun room, with anticipation and trepidation in her heart.

What she is anticipating and what she is trepidating is self-evident.

Suddenly, a Spirit Realm prompt sounded in her ears:

[Ding, the Spirit Realm map is opening. You will enter the Spirit Realm in 30 seconds. The Spirit Realm you are entering this time is "The Sun Lord's Back Garden", number: 0]

[Difficulty level: Unknown]

[Type: Multiplayer (non-death type)]

[Main task: Unknown.]

[Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.]

[Introduction to Spirit Realm No. 0: One of the palaces built by the Sun Lord for himself.]

He's coming to find me! Miao Teng'er was immediately excited, her heart pounding wildly.

Patiently waiting for the countdown to end, the picture in front of her blurred, and then cleared. Miao Teng'er instinctively looked around, searching for the figure of Yuan Shitianzun.

But what she saw was a huge valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but not narrow or steep. Bright sunlight poured into the valley.

There was a lake in the valley, dotted with many swans and wild ducks. The former were swimming on the shimmering lake, and the latter were scurrying in the reeds.

As a Beast King, she also sensed that there was a complete ecosystem in the lake.

On the shore of the lake was a delicate small manor.

In addition, in the low peaks on the three sides of the valley, the sounds of apes howling and tigers roaring, and the figures of birds and beasts were everywhere, but they got along harmoniously.

This place was like a world in a fairy tale, a paradise for Wood Demons with rich Wood attribute spiritual power.

At this moment, a white ape came running over, waddling, and "gurgled" at Miao Teng'er.

Miao Teng'er was proficient in beast language. After listening for a few seconds, she understood what the ape meant—follow me to the house!

Miao Teng'er immediately followed the white ape, walked through the soft grass, entered the exquisite manor, walked straight through the front yard planted with precious flowers, and came to the living room of the manor's main building.

The white ape happily jumped over the sofa, stopped next to the coffee table, pointed to the jade box on it, gurgled a few times, then raised its head to look at the ceiling, and drew a circle with its arms open.

Miao Teng'er understood what it meant: This is a gift from the great existence to you, and so is this!

Miao Teng'er just glanced at the jade box and recognized it as a prop once loved by the Demon Lord: the Teleportation Jade Box!

The Teleportation Jade Box and this manor were gifts from the Sun Lord to her, and the introduction to the dungeon said that this place was the Sun Lord's palace.

Obviously, Yuan Shitianzun had opened up a palace for her and wanted to keep her here, and the teleportation jade talisman in the Teleportation Jade Box was her "transportation" to and from reality and the palace.

Miao Teng'er was overjoyed and carefully held up the Teleportation Jade Box, as if holding a rare treasure.

At this moment, the white monkey suddenly "squeaked" twice and ran out of the living room quickly.

A few minutes later, it led in a plump and beautiful woman.

Seeing this woman, Miao Teng'er's expression suddenly became strange: "Mom..."

...

After returning to reality, Ling Jun had a good sleep and completely recovered from the fatigue accumulated from five days of labor.

In five days, the Earth Masters made the mountains rise from the desert, the Wood Demons covered the barren mountains with vegetation and brought animals and insects to the forest, and the Scholars smelted steel, burned glass, and directed the Earth Masters to build a manor.

After successfully completing the task, they received a batch of valuable materials and a Shattering Amulet personally made by the Sun Lord.

"Such tasks should come more often." He got out of bed and dressed with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Miao Teng'er pushed the door in, radiant, her eyes sparkling, and said with a smile:

"Ling Jun, I'm leaving here, I can finally leave. I may not come back again in the future, but I can still return to the real world. I will visit you when I have time."

Ling Jun was stunned for a moment: "I don't understand what you mean!"

Miao Teng'er seemed to be waiting for him to ask, and couldn't wait to share, "Mo... Yuan Shi built a palace for me, in the Spirit Realm. It's very beautiful there, and I plan to live there for a long time."

Ling Jun stared blankly at her, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly his lips trembled, "Then, is that palace called: The Sun Lord's Back Garden?"

"How do you know?" Miao Teng'er said in surprise.

Ling Jun's chewing muscles slowly bulged: "I built that place..."

Miao Teng'er was silent for a moment, then said softly, "My, my mom will also live there in the future."

Ling Jun was struck by lightning, staggered back, and roared to the sky with intense anger: "As tyrannical as Zhou, as dictatorial as Qin, as lewd as Sui, I will never coexist with Yuan the traitor!!"
