After handling the matter properly, Li Wei activated the portal and returned to the real world.

Inside the study, everything was exactly the same as when he left. Although he had spent a considerable amount of time in the world of the goddess Sekirei, only a few seconds had passed in the real world.

Li Wei glanced at the small digital clock on his desk. He didn't feel any time confusion. Adjusting to a different time zone was very easy for him. With his magical power flowing through his body, he adjusted his biological clock to be synchronized with the real world.

Overall, the trip to the world of the Wagyu Goddess was quite fruitful. Originally, Li Wei only intended to gather some high-quality fellow cultivators, but unexpectedly, he encountered a madman who wanted to become a god. So he went along with it and waited for the fruits to ripen. Yu Guangren's divine soul and divine body are top-notch materials for refining weapons and alchemy, which is the extra benefit.

Li Wei turned off the animation playing on his computer.

On the floating island, Li Wei and the wagtail girls all took the final step, transforming themselves from girls into real women. The benefits of cultivating together also boosted Li Wei's cultivation level. However, as a Qi cultivator without any realm barriers, he could only say that he had become stronger than before.

The real world is full of hidden talents and powerful figures, with gods and Buddhas lurking in the shadows. Li Wei still doesn't know the true nature of these beings, so every bit of power is important to him.

Li Wei was also somewhat mentally exhausted. After all, he had spent much longer than expected in the world of the Wagyu Goddess. As they say, plans can't keep up with changes, and he had encountered such a situation this time. However, although it took more time, the extra gains were definitely worth it.

"I need to get some rest." Li Wei turned off his computer, returned to his bedroom, and, without any regard for appearances, crawled into bed after pulling back the covers.

Li Wei slept until 3 p.m. before waking up. It had been a long time since he had slept so simply, without thinking about anything, just emptying his mind, feeling the subtle friction of the blanket against his body, and the lazy feeling after his mind was relaxed.

When Li Wei woke up, he heard some noises coming from the direction of the kitchen. The door wasn't closed tightly, and the aroma of food wafted out.

Li Wei got out of bed and went to the living room. He saw Jin Chengzhai Qianye busy in the kitchen. The girl, wearing an apron, was humming a song as she skillfully stir-fried the food in the pan. The spicy aroma clearly indicated Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine. After her trip to Japan with Li Wei, the girl's taste in food had been assimilated by him, making it difficult for her to tolerate the generally bland flavors of Japan.

Chapter 1. A Homebound Couple

The aroma of cooking wafting from the kitchen warmed Li Wei's heart. Despite possessing immense power, Li Wei did not become a tyrannical ruler. Instead, he cherished every moment of his life as an ordinary person even more. The cooking fumes soothed the restlessness in his heart.

Li Wei looked at the long table in the dining room, where two dishes were already prepared. Each dish was enchanted with a small spell to keep it warm. The principle was very simple, and even a novice like Jin Chengzhai Qianye could figure it out through experimentation.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye has only recently embarked on her cultivation journey. She currently possesses a basic ability to manipulate "qi," but limited by her own meager magical power, she cannot unleash any advanced spells without the aid of tools or external forces. At present, a "mage" capable of mastering even a half-finished spell is roughly equivalent to someone like this girl, far weaker than her ancient predecessors.

Li Wei arrived at the kitchen door, looked at the girl who was busy, and said, "All of these are spicy dishes. Qianye, your stomach has become like that of a Sichuan or Chongqing person."

Without turning her head, Jinchengzhai Qianye said, "Please don't use such cheesy, cartoonish language to talk about this. After trying the spicy delicacies, the bland food here in Japan is simply not enough for me. Even if I go to Yokohama's Okinawa district, I can't find such delicious food. I can only rely on myself to make my own food."

Li Wei approached the girl from behind. His height gave him an easy view over her shoulder, allowing him to see into the pot. The girl was making spicy chicken, and her technique was incredibly authentic. If she hadn't spoken, no one would have mistaken her for a Japanese person, because Japanese people couldn't make such authentic spicy food.

It should be said that most Japanese chefs cannot master the soul of numbing spiciness, because Japanese people themselves are not good at eating spicy food, so they cannot use their tongues to experience the subtle changes of numbing spiciness. Without knowing the subtle changes, they can only simply pile on chemical spiciness like Koreans. And Korean-style spiciness is notoriously bad. Whether compared with the numbing spiciness of South Korea, the fragrant spiciness of South Korea, or the sweet and spicy spiciness of South Korea, it is not up to par.

Li Wei said softly, "It smells so good."

The girl said with a proud expression, "Of course! I studied the recipes I brought back from Chongguo carefully. Maybe I can't compare to professional chefs, but I'm much better than the average home cook."

Li Wei's warm breath brushed against the girl's neck as he said, "I mean, you smell so good. You're not wearing any perfume, so why do you smell so good? It's really strange."

Li Wei's words almost made the girl, who was tossing the wok, drop the spatula, and a faint pink blush appeared on her ears.

The girl nudged Li Wei with her elbow and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Li Wei, I forgot to take out the bowls and chopsticks. Could you please get them for me?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away." Li Wei stopped teasing the girl and obediently took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard. Although the apartment was decorated very nicely, Li Wei did not install an integrated stove or a sterilizing cabinet because he, who possessed extraordinary power, did not need those things. If he wanted to sterilize the entire apartment, it would only be a matter of a thought.

Li Wei placed the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, while Jin Chengzhai Qianye also placed the already stir-fried spicy chicken on the table, adding a heat-preserving spell to the freshly cooked chicken.

Because the temperature is quite low now, without magic to keep the food warm, the cooked food will cool down quickly, and the taste and texture of the food will be affected.

The two sat down, looking like a newlywed couple. Li Wei said, "How have your aunt and uncle been? They must miss you terribly since you didn't go back."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye picked up his chopsticks and said, "They told me not to rush back. There's a lot of trouble in my hometown now. During the New Year, relatives and friends come and go, and they like to compare their children. If I go back, I definitely won't be able to escape such scenes."

This kind of thing happens all over the world; it's just human nature. An ordinary person can accept winning the lottery jackpot from a complete stranger, but if it were their neighbor who won, even if they usually have a good relationship, that person would feel jealous, and in extreme cases, might even have murderous thoughts.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye is currently in an even more awkward situation. She attends Tokyo Ocha Women's University, a prestigious institution of higher learning with a worldwide reputation—basically, the "other people's child" everyone admires. Therefore, whenever she returns to her hometown, she'll be thrust into the spotlight by her relatives' gossip. If she does well, they might offer a few insincere blessings; if she doesn't, there will be even more people laughing at her and kicking her while she's down.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Before he had made a name for himself, Jin Chengzhai Qianye really didn't have much courage to go back, especially during the Chinese New Year.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye touched her left wrist. On her left wrist was a jade bracelet. The jade bracelet looked quite understated, and it was obviously an old object that had been around for a long time. It was secretly given to her by Li Wei's mother when they left Chong Kingdom.

.. ....... .......

Jin Chengzhai Qianye's feelings were also somewhat complicated. Originally, she came to Tokyo to study and only had a few opportunities to go home during the year. However, during the New Year, while others could reunite with their families, she could only stay outside. Just thinking about it made her feel quite distressed.

Moreover, since there is no land connection between Hokkaido and the main island, going home involves both taking a bus and a boat, which is very troublesome and takes a lot of time.

Li Wei said, "If you want to go back, we can go back from the sky. It's only a short distance from Tokyo to Hokkaido, and we can use cloud-riding magic to get there. It's less than an hour each way."

Jinchengzhai Qianye looked surprised and said, "This works?"

Li Wei said, "What's so strange about that? Before, when I traveled from Japan to Okinawa, I had to take a plane because I needed to leave a travel record with customs. But if I'm traveling around Japan, I can use clouds to get around. It's much more convenient than the Shinkansen or airplanes."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye excitedly stood up, put her hands on the table and jumped, knocking Li Wei to the ground, and said excitedly, "Really? Is it true?"

Li Wei, still holding a bowl and chopsticks, was tackled to the ground, yet he remained completely calm, saying, "Isn't this just common sense? We are cultivators who have mastered extraordinary powers; isn't this kind of thing normal for us?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye snapped out of his reverie and said sheepishly, "I almost forgot about that."

Chapter 1. The Gift Problem

Li Wei tossed the bowl and chopsticks into the air, where they floated. With his free hands, he placed them on the girl's shoulders, and the two of them sat up.

Li Wei said, "We do need to keep a low profile. After all, without any powerful backers, we can only protect ourselves by being low-key before we become strong. But being low-key doesn't mean we have to compromise ourselves. If we have convenient abilities, why not use them?"

The ability to conceal himself that Li Wei now possesses is such that even gods and Buddhas might not be able to detect him. It is precisely because of this that Li Wei dares to use magic in the real world. If he did not have such a concealment ability, Li Wei would definitely keep a low profile and would never reveal the fact that he possesses extraordinary power unless absolutely necessary.

Li Wei said, "If you really miss home, then we'll go out tonight and give your aunt and uncle a surprise."

Suppressing his excitement, Jin Chengzhai Qianye smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Wei said, "Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we can pack our luggage slowly and leave at seven o'clock tonight."

It gets dark quite early now; it's completely dark by around 7 p.m. If they set off at 7 p.m., even if they fly at low altitude the whole time, people on the ground won't notice that someone is above them. With the added ability to conceal themselves, the two of them can leisurely make their way to Hokkaido.

The girl nodded. Knowing that she would be able to see her parents that evening, she became excited and even had a better appetite.

Spicy chicken, twice-cooked pork, and cabbage stew with glass noodles—all three dishes are served in large portions. However, for two people, these portions are just enough to keep them from getting hungry; they're far from enough to satisfy their cravings.

When lunch ended, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the task of washing the dishes was handed over to the little strongman that was transformed from paper.

Li Wei and Jin Chengzhai Qianye are both the type who are very energetic when cooking, but instantly become listless when it comes to washing dishes. Neither of them likes to exercise after eating. Without the help of magic, they will both choose to rest for a while first and will not go to wash dishes immediately after eating.

After resting for a while, the two began packing their luggage.

Li Wei quickly stuffed his clothes into his suitcase, then looked at the girl next to him doing the same thing and asked, "Qianye, how long do you plan to stay in your hometown?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye closed the suitcase, which contained very few clothes, and easily zipped it up, saying, "Two days is enough. If we stay in our hometown for too long, our relatives will likely find out, and then all sorts of troubles will follow. Especially if I bring you, Li Weijun, home, they will definitely look at us like we're animals."

Li Wei said, "I thought you would stay a few more days, no wonder you only took so few clothes."

After becoming a Qi cultivator, Jin Chengzhai Qianye's physical condition was much stronger than when she was a mortal. Not to mention that she could go shirtless in the snow without any problems, she no longer had to wrap herself up like a dumpling as in previous years.

So her suitcase was filled with thin, early winter clothes that didn't take up much space. If she didn't want to attract attention, she could easily wear summer clothes in the outside temperature.

The girl packed her luggage and sat down cross-legged. The entire apartment, except for the kitchen and the toilet, was covered with wooden floors with underfloor heating, making it very comfortable to sit directly on the floor.

Li Wei had also packed his luggage. He threw both suitcases into his mind space and set the retrieval coordinates so that he could instantly find the items when needed.

Li Wei's sea of ​​consciousness was enormous, filled with a huge pile of random things. So he habitually labeled every item he threw into his sea of ​​consciousness, otherwise, with so many things, it would easily become chaotic.

The vast space of his consciousness allows Li Wei to carry a large amount of goods at once. He can even use his abilities to disrupt international freight rules and bankrupt international freight companies. However, such a thing would easily attract the attention of certain gods and Buddhas, so Li Wei would not do something so foolish.

Li Wei said, "This is my first time meeting your parents, so I'm a little nervous. It would be impolite to go empty-handed, so I need to prepare a gift."

Japan is a place that places great importance on etiquette. Although Li Wei believes that most people are only good at small things and lack a sense of righteousness, they do pay great attention to details. Foreign tourists who come here are amazed by these details. Of course, they will know this after staying here for a while. Many Japanese people are two-faced, and truly polite people are very rare.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Li Weijun, please keep the gift low-key. My parents are just ordinary people. Gifts that are too expensive or special may scare them."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye knew that Li Wei was a wealthy tycoon, and if Li Wei really prepared a gift, it would definitely be extravagant. At that time, her parents would definitely ask all sorts of questions, and given her current situation, it would be difficult to explain to her parents.

After all, she, like Li Wei, has now become a cultivator who has entered the extraordinary world. She is afraid that her changes will cause trouble for her family, so keeping a low profile is not a bad thing.

Li Wei took out a beautifully packaged small box from his sea of ​​consciousness. He opened the box and found a well-packaged ginseng. The ginseng was quite large, and the root and rootlets were tied with red rope, making it look very expensive.

Li Wei said, "As for the gift, we've decided on one item for now. This one is for my uncle and aunt to nourish their bodies. It can be used to make medicinal wine or soup. It can replenish their vital energy and prolong their lives."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye was too lazy to stand up, so he rolled on the ground and came to Li Wei's side, who was sitting. He clung to him like a cat, got close to the small box, and showed a curious and surprised expression.

Jinchengzhai Qianye gently poked the ginseng in the small box with her finger and said, "This really looks like a person. Is this Korean ginseng? Wouldn't it be too precious to give this as a gift?"

In Japan, there are also places where ginseng is artificially cultivated, but it's rare. Furthermore, in Japan, carrots are called ginseng, while ginseng, which is well-known in China, is called Korean ginseng in Japan.

Li Wei said, "Uncle and aunt are just ordinary people. If ordinary people want to be healthy, they need to eat more nourishing foods."

When Li Wei left Chong Kingdom, he left behind a large quantity of tonics that he had personally prepared. These tonics, which possessed extraordinary power, could be used to make wine or soup, and they were believed to have excellent nourishing effects on the body.

Chapter 1. Concepts

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said in a low voice, "Isn't Korean ginseng a bit too high-profile? Besides, they don't even know how to use it."

Li Wei laughed and said, "If you don't understand, you can teach me. Besides, it's always a good thing for parents to be in better health. These days, the external environment is becoming more and more complex, and various viruses and bacteria are mutating more and more violently. Ordinary medical methods simply can't prevent those things. If this thing can improve your aunt and uncle's health, they will be safer than ordinary people when faced with external disease threats."

Li Wei knew very well that the plague god was real, and that was why it was always good to be prepared in advance. It's better to be safe than sorry.

He doesn't care whether others die or how many die, but he still wants to protect the people around him as much as possible.

The girl could sense Li Wei's good intentions and said, "Okay, I still need to prepare some ordinary gifts."

Li Wei said, "Then let's go out for a walk. I don't know what Uncle and Aunt like yet. Since we're preparing gifts for them, I need to know what they like."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye sat cross-legged, arms crossed, a thoughtful expression on her cute face, and said, "My dad likes to drink, but he has a very low alcohol tolerance; he's a weak drinker with a big addiction. As for my mom, she mainly enjoys watching variety shows and TV dramas, and doesn't have any particular hobbies."

The family of Jincheng Sai Chiya was considered relatively well-off in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Her father ran a small, complex business, but his overall income was quite good. Her mother, on the other hand, was a very ordinary housewife. It was a prosperous, happy, and very united family, unlike typical Japanese families where family ties were often weak.

Li Wei stroked his chin and said, "If you like wine, that's easy. I've brewed quite a few good wines. Wait a moment."

Li Wei's hand reached into the air and disappeared halfway in an instant, as if he were searching for something. After a while, he pulled out several bottles of wine in porcelain bottles from the unseen space.

After taking out the wine, Li Wei produced several pieces of wood from somewhere and began using magic to create a box, carving intricate patterns on it. He then stuffed the box with bubble wrap for cushioning before placing the wine inside.
