After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

As they walked, they chatted about other old acquaintances.

Lin Chu said that she has also been in contact with Caiwei.

Cang Yao nodded.

"I sensed it, but we haven't met yet."

"Actually, in the past few hundred years, everyone would gather in Chang'an every few years." Cang Yao's tone was filled with nostalgia.

"And then?"

"In the following centuries, people spent more and more time in seclusion, and their gatherings became less frequent."

"It's been hundreds of years since I last saw them. This time on Blue Star, it's the first time we've met in hundreds of years."

Lin Chu asked the two who had taken off.

Speaking of Ao Tianxin, a trace of worry appeared on Cang Yao's face: "Teacher ascended to heaven a long time ago, saying he went to the Spirit Realm to find news of you."

"But after she ascended to heaven, we never heard from her again, and we don't know how she is now."

"With Tianxin's combat strength, she won't suffer any losses anywhere."

Cang Yao nodded. Even if Ao Tianxin encountered an enemy she couldn't defeat, at least she could escape.

Then they talked about Jian Li, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes: "Your disciple is truly exceptionally talented. Even before my ascension, I might not have been able to completely defeat her. I really don't know where you found her."

Lin Chu's face showed relief. The innate sword body was indeed rare, but what was even more remarkable was that Jian Li never slacked off.

The two of them walked and talked.

Cang Yao suddenly let out a soft hum, with a hint of coquetry in it: "She monopolized you all day yesterday, it's my turn today."

Lin Chu coughed lightly, then nodded, wisely refraining from continuing the conversation.

Seeing his expression, Cang Yao chuckled. The two intertwined their fingers: "Let's go, husband, accompany me shopping."

There are many old streets and alleys in Shenzhen, and Cang Yao dragged him to choose the narrow ones to explore.

The two stopped in front of a dessert shop and ordered a double-skin milk dessert.

She scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, then scooped another spoonful and held it to Lin Chu's lips: "Try it, it's delicious."

Lin Chu lowered her head and ate, then nodded: "It's really good."

Cang Yao smiled.

A few girls at the next table who were drinking milk tea couldn't help but steal glances over.

One of them whispered to his companion, "Look at that couple, they're both super good-looking, and they're even feeding each other."

My companion sighed enviously, "When will I be able to have such a handsome boyfriend?"

Cang Yao listened to every word, and a smile appeared on her lips.

The two continued to wander through the alley.

Cang Yao tried all the snacks in the old street of Shencheng, buying only one of each. She took a bite and gave the rest to Lin Chu.

As they reached the entrance of an alley, Cang Yao suddenly turned her head.

"Husband, what did you two do yesterday?"

Lin Chu thought for a moment.

"I went shopping, ate out, and then went to see a movie."

"A movie?" Cang Yao blinked.

"Yes, it's on the top floor of that shopping mall over there." Lin Chu pointed to the commercial complex not far away.

Cang Yao gave an "oh" and nodded thoughtfully.

Then she took his arm, looked up at him, and said, "Let's go too."

Lin Chu sighed and ruffled her hair. "Okay."

He then took out his phone and bought the ticket quickly.

When the two arrived at the movie theater, they didn't see the waiter from the baked goods restaurant at all.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering the couple's room, Cang Yao looked around curiously, then took off her shoes and tucked her legs into the sofa.

She didn't pounce on him like Ruoshui did; instead, she rested her head on Lin Chu's shoulder, intertwined her fingers with his, and then looked at the screen intently.

After watching for a while, she turned her head and whispered, "Husband."

"Um?"

I didn't quite understand this movie.

Lin Chu looked down and found that her face was very close to hers.

His moist eyes shone with a soft light in the dimly lit theater, his lips were slightly parted, and wisps of breath brushed against his chin.

Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Cang Yao gently closed her eyes, her fingers gripping his even tighter.

A moment later, the two separated. Cang Yao licked her lips, rested her head on his shoulder again, and continued watching the movie she couldn't understand.

As evening approached, the two left the movie theater, and Cang Yao naturally followed them back to the villa.

Hearing the sound at the door, Ruoshui immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran barefoot to the entryway: "Lin Chu, come back..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

She saw Cang Yao next to Lin Chu, who was holding Lin Chu's arm and looking at her with a smile.

Ruoshui puffed out her cheeks, and her fox tail stretched straight behind her.

"Long time no see, Ruoshui." Cangyao tilted her head and spoke first with a smile.

Ruoshui rushed over in a few steps, grabbed Lin Chu's other arm, and held it tightly.

"Long time no see, you arrived pretty quickly."

Lin Chu was sandwiched between the two women, one on each side, with each of her arms held in the arms of a woman, making it impossible for her to move away.

He sighed. These two, more than a thousand years have passed, how come they are still like this?

He looked around, his expression a little strange.

For some reason, he remembered a TV series he had watched before.

There's also a famous line in it—"You've come at just the right time."

Looks like things are going to get lively at home from now on.

Then, as if remembering something, he rubbed his temples.

Caiwei just sent me a message.

Xiao Xiao will probably find him soon.

Lin Chuhuan's living room: When she first rented this villa, she thought the two-story house with a yard was quite spacious, but now it seems it's still not enough to live in.

We need to find a bigger place sometime.

Pulling herself back to reality, she cleared her throat and said, "Could you two please let go of each other first? I need to change my shoes."

No one cares about him.

The two looked at each other, neither moving.

Helpless, Lin Chu had no choice but to carry the two of them into the living room, one in each hand.

……

After a while of arguing, the living room finally quieted down.

Lin Chu rubbed their heads, and was about to say something when Cang Yao turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll cook dinner."

Cang Yao walked into the kitchen and operated with effortless skill, chopping vegetables, putting them in the pan, and stir-frying them all in one go, leaving Ruo Shui dumbfounded.

Unbeknownst to her, Cang Yao had already honed her culinary skills during her time in Qinghe.

Knowing he couldn't get involved, he could only obediently assist from the sidelines.

Lin Chu leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching the two women busy at the stove.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

More than an hour later, the dining table was completely full.

Braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, seaweed and egg drop soup, and a plate of oyster sauce lettuce that, while not particularly appealing, smelled delicious.

Cang Yao placed a piece of braised fish in Lin Chu's bowl and said softly, "Husband, it's been a long time since you've had any of my cooking. Try this."

Lin Chu put it in her mouth, chewed a few times, and smiled: "Mmm, this is the taste."

Cang Yao smiled and her eyes curved into a smile.

Not to be outdone, Ruoshui picked up a piece of lettuce she had made herself with oyster sauce and offered it to Lin Chu's lips, her fox-like eyes sparkling as she stared at him.

Lin Chu opened her mouth and ate it, nodding and saying it was delicious.

A smile bloomed on Ruoshui's face.

The two of them took turns putting food into Lin Chu's bowl.

Lin Chu accepted everything offered and ate both, praising them as delicious every now and then.

The emotional value is off the charts, but with his current capacity to process it, these things won't even cause a ripple.

The two watched as Lin Chu devoured all the food, exchanged a glance, and smiled simultaneously.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three changed into their pajamas and snuggled up on the living room sofa.

Lin Chu sat in the middle, with Cang Yao and Ruo Shui on either side.

Cang Yao looked down at the light blue T-shirts that the two of them were wearing, and then looked at her own white T-shirt.

Same brand, same style, it's obvious they picked it out together while shopping yesterday.

She wrinkled her nose and silently tightened her grip on Lin Chu's hand.

Ruoshui caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and, not to be outdone, grabbed Lin Chu's other hand.

Lin Chu was sandwiched between the two men, one on each side, with each of her arms wrapped in a warm, soft touch. Her eyes were fixed on the screen in the living room, her mind completely elsewhere from the movie.

As they watched, Cang Yao and Ruo Shui quieted down without anyone noticing.

Both of them wore the same look of contentment and peace.

The thought of waiting for over a thousand years flashed through my mind.

Let's look at it now.

It was all worth it.

……

Meanwhile, in the capital of Yingzhou Kingdom.

Inside a spacious underground nuclear building.

The massive reactor has long been shut down, replaced by a bottomless man-made crater.

Inside a transparent, enclosed space at the bottom of the pit, a colossal bear-like beast, hundreds of feet tall, lay prone, its muscles bulging like undulating mountains beneath its gray-black fur.

Each breath emitted a deep, rumbling sound like rolling thunder, and the radioactive material emanating from the surroundings was drawn into a visible stream of light, continuously pouring into its mouth and nose.

At the edge of the giant pit, the current Prime Minister of Yingzhou and several officials were bent over, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

The Prime Minister stood very low, his gaze only daring to fall three inches in front of his toes.

Standing before them was a man wearing a gray hood.

Most of his face was hidden in shadow, with only his chin and slightly upturned corners of his mouth showing.

The hooded man gazed down at the giant beast that was slowly transforming and nodded slowly.

"The laws and restrictions surrounding Earth do indeed impose significant limitations on us outsiders."

"But those who were trained locally are not included in this category."

He muttered to himself, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
