Even on the floating island, the members of Li Wei's Crystal Palace formed a society. After all, there were quite a few girls on the island, and most of them didn't know each other. Apart from their partners being Li Wei, they didn't have much in common. In addition, there were many of them, so a utopian kingdom was established.

The productivity on the floating island has reached a high level. Every girl is a cultivator who has mastered extraordinary powers. They use their powers to carry out various renovations on the ever-growing floating island, making it a beautiful paradise.

Especially the girls from the zombie world, they cherish everything they have, so they are the most enthusiastic when it comes to renovating their homes.

The two entered the dining room, and Li Wei snapped his fingers, causing the lid of the table to pop up, revealing the breakfast that had already been prepared underneath.

The moment the lid was opened, a rich aroma filled the entire room. The dish, made using extraordinary power, naturally tasted far superior to ordinary cuisine. Even in the world of MasterChef, such a dish would be at the very top of the Special Grade Chef level.

Born into a prominent family, Tiao Xiangyun had tasted all sorts of delicacies since she was very young. However, this rich aroma was the most fragrant food she had ever smelled. Moreover, this aroma was very natural, unlike industrial fragrances that were overpowering. The stimulation of this aroma made her stomach rumble.

A blush appeared on Xiangyun's mature and charming face. She hadn't expected her stomach to rumble at this moment, which made her very embarrassed.

Li Wei pulled out a chair for her and said with a smile, "It's normal to feel hungry after not eating for almost 24 hours. There's no need to feel embarrassed. Try my cooking; I'm quite confident in my skills."

Under normal circumstances, Li Wei would lazily use the food tablecloth, which could conjure up very delicious dishes. Although it still couldn't compare to the dishes he made himself, the minimum level of taste was very high, and it was sufficient in most cases.

However, there is a limit to the dishes that can be made using the Gourmet Tablecloth. Li Wei is constantly improving the Gourmet Tablecloth, and the dishes that can be made using it are becoming more and more advanced, even some extraordinary dishes. However, compared to cooking by himself, the difference is very obvious. This gap requires him to continue to improve his skills in this area in order to have any chance of solving it.

His carefully prepared breakfast dishes were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. Considering that people tend to eat more when they encounter delicious food, he thoughtfully increased the portion size slightly so that Xiangyun could eat her fill without feeling overweight.

After thanking her, Tiao Xiangyun sat down and picked up her chopsticks. Looking at the exquisitely presented dish, which resembled a work of art, she felt reluctant to destroy it. Eating such a work of art was enough to make one feel guilty.

Li Wei pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, smiling, "Just eat without worry. As a chef, what I love most is seeing customers' happy smiles as they eat my food. Although I'm not a professional chef, I still enjoy that kind of thing."

Tiao Xiangyun smiled and said, "If you break down the word 'food', it means 'people' and 'goodness'. The so-called food is meant to make people better. This kind of delicious food is enough to keep me in a good mood all day long."

Li Wei smiled and said, "If it's for Mom to have a good mood every day, then I'll cook for you every day."

Xiangyun blushed and glanced at Li Wei. Li Wei was practically every woman's nemesis; even a simple sentence from him made her heart tremble. She sighed inwardly, regretting that she wasn't as old as Kusanagi, and was a middle-aged woman who had been married twice. Being Li Wei's mother-in-law wouldn't be a problem, but if she wanted to take her relationship with Li Wei further, she simply didn't have the qualifications.

Xiangyun picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, her fair and slender fingers supporting the food to prevent the sauce from spilling onto the table. She then put the food in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

A few seconds later, a look of shock appeared on Xiangyun's face. At the same time, she began to devour the dishes and rice on the plate without any regard for her image. This mature beauty had been completely conquered by the extraordinary food.

Xiangyun squeezed her legs together tightly, and the intense deliciousness exploded in her mouth. The strange and wonderful feeling stimulated her nerves through her taste buds, and her nerves then spread this pleasure throughout her body. Even though it was just breakfast, she felt like she had received a massage, and her whole body felt comfortable.

This is the power of extraordinary cuisine. It not only stimulates the taste buds but also contains extraordinary power, which is also very beneficial to the diner's body. For ordinary people, eating such food is more nourishing than eating highly nutritious foods, and they don't have to worry about being too weak to handle the nourishment. As long as they can eat such meals every week, prolonging life is a very simple thing.

Of course, there are limits to this kind of dish; the effects cannot be stacked infinitely. If the effects could be stacked infinitely, then this dish would be comparable to a weaker version of the peaches of immortality and ginseng fruit.

Tiao Xiangyun gently rubbed her stomach, which had been flat but now had a slight curve. Because the food was so delicious, she had accidentally finished the whole plate of food, not even leaving a single grain of fried rice. This made her very embarrassed, as she had shown such an embarrassing scene in front of Li Wei.

Seeing the smile on Li Wei's face, Tiao Xiangyun turned her face away shyly. In her heart, she felt a little resentful. Li Wei was so good to her. She was really afraid that she might fall in love with Li Wei by accident. If that happened, the relationship between him, her daughter, and Li Wei would become complicated. This was what she was afraid of.

Chapter 1. Everyone Has Their Own Difficulties

Li Wei said, "We originally planned to set off fireworks to celebrate yesterday, but we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors because we got back too late, so we couldn't set them off."

In Japan, the customs regarding fireworks differ from those in China. In China, fireworks are typically set off during the Lunar New Year in winter, while in Japan, they are mainly concentrated in the summer. For example, in anime, the male and female protagonists often attend temple fairs in the summer, and the event invariably ends with fireworks.

In Japan, fireworks are set off all year round. According to statistics, there are at least four thousand officially organized fireworks displays in Japan every year, and the number of privately organized fireworks displays is too many to count. It seems that the Japanese set off fireworks whenever they want to celebrate, which even surprised Li Wei.

Tiao Xiangyun said, "Setting off fireworks here might disturb the neighbors. If you want to see fireworks, you can go to various temple fairs. Generally speaking, large-scale temple fairs organized by the government usually include fireworks displays."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Alright, let's talk about this another time."

Kusama Tsukiko is still sleeping soundly upstairs and won't wake up for a while. After resting for a while, Li Wei took her to a place near the law firm. He will pick her up when she gets off work. However, Kusama Tsukiko won't get off work until 8 pm, so Li Wei has plenty of free time during the day.

It wasn't until around 1:30 that Kusanagi slowly woke up. When she went downstairs, she found Li Wei sitting in the living room reading a book, but she didn't see Tsubaki Koyo in the room.

Kusami Tsuki, dressed only in a light nightgown, came to Li Wei and snuggled into his arms like a cat cuddling with its owner.

Li Wei was not surprised at all by the girl's sudden attack. With a smile on his face, he put down the book he was holding and hugged the girl.

Kusamizuki rubbed her cheek against Li Wei's chin and said in a slightly clingy voice, "Husband, where is Mother? I knocked on her door, but there was no response."

Li Wei gently pinched the girl's delicate nose and laughed, "Who told you to sleep so late? Your mother had already gone to work. I rode a white cloud to take her to the law firm, and then I picked her up after get off work. Your mother and I have already had breakfast, and now you're the only one who hasn't had breakfast yet."

Kusami Tsuki smiled and said, "Because I can be by your side now, I accidentally overslept. This is the first time I've slept so peacefully. Tonight, I'll rest in your room."

Li Wei said, "Mom is still here."

Kusami Tsuki laughed and said, "What's the big deal? She knows about our relationship anyway."

Finally, at that moment, the doorbell rang, and a semi-transparent projection screen appeared next to the two of them, showing the situation outside the door. Outside the courtyard gate, a beautiful girl with hip-length hair and wearing a white dress was pressing the doorbell.

When Kusami saw the girl, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She said, "Why is Sumireko here so early today? Wasn't she supposed to be with her family?"

Li Wei lifted the girl who was riding on him and put her aside, saying, "Coming here at this time must mean you have something to tell me. Yue, go and tidy yourself up. You don't want Jinzi to see you still in your pajamas when she comes, do you?"

Kusami Tsuki stretched and laughed, "Okay, husband, I'll go change right away."

Li Wei patted the girl's slender waist and watched her walk upstairs. He stood up and instantly teleported to the courtyard, appearing in front of the iron gate. He snapped his fingers, and the locked iron gate opened automatically, leaving Li Wei face to face with Sanshokuin Sumireko outside the gate.

Now that she no longer hides herself, Sumireko Sanshokuin is still so beautiful, even in this extremely simple outfit.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to come at this time, Jinzi. Quite a few things happened last night."

With a curious expression, Sumireko Sanshokuin asked, "Did something happen after you sent us away?"

Li Wei led Sanshokuin Sumireko into the house and said, "It's a long story, but I'll try to explain it as simply as possible."

Li Wei recounted the events of the previous night in his concise language, and after listening, Sumireko Sanshokuin showed an expression of admiration.

Sitting on the sofa, Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "I never imagined that Tsuki's family was like this. She has never told me anything like this before."

Li Wei said, "Yue felt that these things were all in the past and there was nothing to keep secret, so she told me about them and said that it wouldn't matter if you guys found out."

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "It's not Tsuki's fault, it's her bastard father's problem. But if it were before, it would have bothered her if others knew about this. But now that she's out of trouble, she doesn't care anymore."

Sumireko Sanshokuin thought to herself that she had actually done a good deed. If it weren't for her acting as matchmaker, Kusamizuki wouldn't have become Li Wei's partner, and last night, something terrible might have happened in Kusamizuki's family, perhaps even resulting in someone's death. She would have been forced to become a child of a single-parent family.

Thinking that such a terrible thing had been avoided, Sumireko Sanshokuin breathed a sigh of relief. As for Kusamizuki's mother, Kaori Tsubaki, moving in here, she didn't mind at all. If she hadn't let Kaori Tsubaki move in, Kusamizuki's bastard father would have continued to harass her mother, and something might have happened. But with Kaori Tsubaki living here, her personal safety was no longer an issue.

Li Wei said, "Now we need to solve Jinzi's family problems. They say every family has its own troubles, and your situation is quite tricky."

Sumireko Sanshokuin smiled bitterly, “Although our family can’t match the Yue family’s previous conditions, it’s not too far off. Having more money has become a problem. Now the family is falling apart. If I leave, the whole family will fall apart. Anyway, my rebellious younger brother is incapable of keeping this family together.”

Li Wei asked, "Where has the situation progressed to?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin sighed, "After I got back yesterday, the two of them were already discussing signing the divorce agreement. The division of property should be almost complete, which is why they were talking about those things."

Li Wei asked, "What about your younger brother? Which side is he with?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "My mother wants to take my younger brother away, but my father refuses. They've had a huge fight about it. Sigh, their relationship broke down ten years ago. The only reason they've stayed together is because of money; they share common interests, so they can barely manage. Now that common interest is gone, they've immediately turned on each other. Sigh... I can only say that every family has its own problems."

Chapter 1. Sumireko Sanshokuin's Family

In the world of Li Wei's adventures, most of the girls come from happy and fulfilling families. But the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows. In places unseen by people, there are always some unsavory things that happen.

The families of the girls around Li Wei, Kusamizuki and Sumireko Sanshokuin, are quite special. Kusamizuki's problem has been completely resolved, but Sumireko's problem is a bit more complicated to solve.

For wealthy couples divorcing, property division and child custody are all difficult matters. Every issue is challenging, and there's no crow here to overturn the table and say it's too difficult. In fact, even if a crow came and overturned the table, they would have to obediently set it back up, pick up everything on the floor, and everyone would return to the table to continue the discussion.

Just then, Kusamizuki, who had already changed her clothes, came down the stairs. She was wearing an ice-blue short dress, the main color of which perfectly matched her own color. Li Wei looked at the girl and sighed inwardly, "If only her hair were a little longer." Although Kusamizuki's current bob was quite cute, her hair would suit her temperament even better if it were longer.

Kusami Tsuki didn't dress up excessively because Sanshokuin Sumireko's attire was very simple. She didn't want to compete with Sanshokuin Sumireko in this matter, so the two of them dressed in the same style, both following a simple route. In this way, even if they went out, they wouldn't compete for each other's attention.

The pure white and ice blue colors complement each other, and although the two girls look different, they give the impression of being twin sisters born from eggs, a harmonious and complementary quality.

When Kusami saw Sumireko Sanshokuin, she pounced on her, knocking her down onto the sand and rubbing her cheek against Sumireko's. In that instant, Li Wei, who was standing nearby, seemed to smell the scent of citrus.

"Thank you, Sumireko. You changed my and my mother's fate. I am so grateful to you!" Kusamizuki said excitedly.

Kusamizuki wasn't particularly petite, so Sanshokuin Sumireko, who was pinned down on the sofa by Kusamizuki, couldn't push her off for a while because she couldn't find any footholds.

"Moon, get up first, I can hardly breathe." Sumireko Sanshokuin had a wry smile on her face. She could understand Kusami Moon's excitement and gratitude, but the other party was just too enthusiastic, and she felt that she couldn't handle it.

Seeing Sumireko Sanshokuin's embarrassed look, Kusamizuki knew she couldn't play around too much, so she obediently got up and sat down next to Sumireko Sanshokuin, looking like she was saying, "I'm a good girl."

Sanshokuin Sumireko breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I came here today to take my husband to meet my parents and to ask him to help me with the household chores, as I can't solve these problems on my own."

Sumireko Sanshokuin had always kept her family background a secret. Although Kusamizuki and Sumireko were classmates at the same school, and Sumireko was a well-known celebrity in the school, no one knew about her family. It was only now, when everyone had become Li Wei's partner and no longer kept it a secret from each other, that Kusamizuki learned about Sumireko Sanshokuin's family situation.

Li Wei said, "No problem, your business is my business. Since I'm going to take you away, I naturally have to make sure the follow-up work is done well."

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, “Husband, my situation is rather special. You don’t need to divide the property left in this world among my parents. Too much money would be a troublesome thing. They are already in this state now. If everyone gets a large sum of money, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.”

Li Wei nodded. If one's self-control isn't strong enough, it's easy to be held hostage by money and become its puppet. Through his puppet's investigation, he learned about Sumireko Sanshokuin's family situation. Sumireko's parents were quite loving at first, but as they started their own company and got on the right track in business, they earned more and more money, but their hearts drifted further and further apart. In the end, they became business partners who shared the same bed but dreamed different dreams. They had nothing to talk about except money. It was, undeniably, a tragedy.

Sumireko Sanshokuin's parents are the typical type who can share hardship but not wealth; such situations can be seen everywhere.

Sumireko Sanshokuin was naturally beautiful, inheriting her good looks from her parents, who were a handsome couple in the eyes of outsiders. However, Li Wei knew that neither of them were easy to deal with. No businessman is without cunning, and the fact that they had built their business from scratch to their current level and managed to keep things stable was a feat that far surpassed that of Kusamizuki's father, who was ambitious but lacked talent.

Sumireko Sanshokuin not only inherited her parents' looks, but also their intelligence. In the original story, Sumireko Sanshokuin was the only character whose intelligence was always online in the first half of the story. Even though the creator, Camel, is a "plot-driven" person, he couldn't find an opportunity to kill Sumireko Sanshokuin off the cuff.

The plot never mentions Sumireko Sanshokuin's family, and her family background is only briefly mentioned. If Li Weiren hadn't come to this world, he wouldn't have been able to understand why Sumireko Sanshokuin was so incredibly intelligent. Growing up with such parents, she was bound to learn something from them, and these things were a complete game-changer for high school students.

It can be said that until Hazuki Yasuo appeared, Sanshokuin Sumireko's performance was very stable. She was the intellectual backbone of all the characters, and no matter what the situation was, it was all within her expectations and control.

If she could learn her parents' shamelessness, that would be a killer move. The entire school would become her social playground, and she could even influence the vast majority of people through interpersonal relationships.

After Hazuki Yasuo appeared, Sanshokuin Sumireko was unable to use her normal abilities due to her psychological trauma, which gave others room to use theirs. However, this also highlighted that the abilities of the others were two levels below those of Sanshokuin Sumireko. In terms of intelligence alone, Sanshokuin Sumireko was in no way inferior to the student council president, Akino Sakura.

Looking at the complicated expression on Sanshokuin Sumireko's face, Kusami Tsuki sighed and said, "It seems that your situation is quite complicated, Sumireko."

Sumireko Sanshokuin smiled bitterly, “Our family situation is pretty bad. Right now, my parents have started divorce proceedings. I might see this family fall apart before I leave this world.”

Kusamizuki said, "Sumireko, do you want your husband to help your parents reconcile?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin shook her head and said, "Let's forget about it. Those two might be better off separated. They were already business partners, and now they're not even partners anymore. Forcing them to stay together would only be torture for them."

Chapter 1. Falling Apart

Kusami Tsuki nodded. Although it is said that marriage is better left unresolved than reconciled, if even the children feel that their parents should separate, it means that the problem is really serious and has reached the point of no return. Separation is the last and best option.

Kusamizuki asked, "So when are you leaving?"
