Now, experiencing it firsthand, he understands the feeling—seeing the mark he left behind evokes a strange sense of pleasure and conquest. It's not just a physical mark, but an emotional connection, symbolizing the intimate relationship between the two.
While Chen Ming was lost in thought, Little Chen Ming had already begun to show immediate results.
Even though he just recharged with Tia so many times, he still has a lot of energy.
Chen Ming shook his head slightly, telling himself that he still had important things to do.
He took two steps forward, bent down, and gently shook Jin Bisha's shoulders.
"Hmm... Ming~ I can't eat anymore..."
Jin Bisha murmured in her sleep, turned over, and curled her body into a tight ball.
Sleep talking is so cute, but what exactly did she eat in her dream...?
Chen Ming muttered a curse to himself, then nudged the girl and chuckled, "Get up, the sun's already high in the sky!"
"Hmm...Ming..."
Jin Bisha slightly opened her eyes, her hazy blue eyes gazing at Chen Ming. Then she grasped his hand and said with an ambiguous, dreamy smile:
"Going to do morning exercises again?"
Her voice was soft and alluring, but Chen Ming restrained his impulse, simply patted the girl's drum, and replied:
"We can talk about morning exercise later. You get up and come downstairs first. I have something to announce."
After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom with his strong willpower, going downstairs to look for Luo Qixi.
Since becoming Chen Ming's wife, Luo Qixi usually gets up early and virtuously prepares breakfast in the kitchen.
Sure enough, when he walked into the kitchen, he saw a petite girl chopping vegetables with a loud thud.
Her petite frame, slender shoulders, and slim figure looked particularly charming in the morning light.
Looking at that figure from behind, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel excited.
"Luo Qixi...!"
He couldn't help but hug the girl from behind.
"it hurts!"
Hearing the girl's exclamation, Chen Ming quickly let go and discovered that Luo Qixi's finger had been cut by the kitchen knife.
Bright red blood formed spheres and dripped onto the cutting board.
It was because he suddenly hugged her that the girl accidentally cut her finger.
Chen Ming cried out in distress, then quickly cast a healing spell: "Holy Power... [Healing]!"
As the light of healing magic shone, Loki's finger wound was healed in the blink of an eye.
“…Your screaming is way too exaggerated, Ming,” Luo Qixi said with a hint of reproach. “It’s dangerous to do that while I’m chopping vegetables, so you have to bear with it.”
She rarely spoke in this tone, but her eyes were full of tolerance and gentleness.
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time."
Chen Ming humbly accepted the offer and then stayed in the kitchen to help Luo Qixi make a loving breakfast. Their tacit cooperation made the cooking process warm and fun.
Breakfast was hearty and delicious, including toast, fried eggs, fresh fruit, and Lochshi's special Migrud stew.
The girls in the mansion gradually got up and gathered around the dining table. Jin Bisha, Luo Qixi, Yin Yue, Xilufei, Linia, and Prusena enjoyed their meal while chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
At the dinner table, Chen Ming announced his decision—he would be leaving the Magic University to go to the Fituia territory of the Kingdom of Asura to take care of something.
However, because he has the ability to teleport, he can go home to sleep every night, so the girls' lives will not be disrupted and they can go to school as usual without having to leave with him.
The girls all expressed their support for his decision, since he was going out in the morning and returning at night, which was equivalent to going out to work.
Jin Bisha laughed and said, "Anyway, you'll be back every night, just like when you go out to work!"
Silvermoon and Hilfi nodded in agreement.
The dog-eared girl, Prusena, added, "Boss, remember to bring back some dried meat as a local specialty!"
"I want some local specialties too, meow~" The cat-eared girl, Linia, also raised her hand and asked.
Lok Chi-hsi gently reassured Chen Ming that she would take good care of things at home and that he didn't need to worry.
After breakfast, a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere filled the manor. The girls chatted and laughed as they cleared away the dishes, preparing to head to the magic academy to begin a new day of study.
After bidding farewell to the girls, Chen Ming activated his teleportation magic. The surrounding scenery blurred rapidly, and the next moment, he was standing in front of a magnificent city gate. This was [Roya City]—the largest and most prosperous city in the Fituia territory, and also the residence of Alice Boreas, the female protagonist of the original work.
The morning sun shines on the towering walls of Roya, gilding this historic fortress city with a golden glow.
The city walls are built of massive granite blocks, their surfaces bearing the marks of time and war, yet they still appear indestructible. Four hundred years ago, amidst the smoke of the war between humans and demons, Roya City served as humanity's last line of defense, repelling the demons' fierce attacks and protecting the entire kingdom.
The city gate was bustling with activity, with various horse-drawn carriages carrying goods and passengers coming and going. Guards, dressed in standard armor, carefully inspected the passersby.
As Chen Ming followed the crowd through the massive city gate, he was immediately drawn to the bustling scene inside the city.
Inside the city gate, rows of open-air stalls lined the street, their calls rising and falling, filling the air with the enticing aromas of fresh bread, roasted meats, and spices. The vendors displayed a dazzling array of goods: from fresh fruits and vegetables and artisanal cheeses to exquisite handicrafts.
Continuing onward, Chen Ming noticed that stables and inns were beginning to appear on both sides of the street, mainly serving merchants and adventurers who had traveled from afar. Several adventurers clad in leather armor were organizing their belongings in front of an inn, while their mounts leisurely grazed nearby.
Further into the city center, the streets gradually widened, and the shops became noticeably more upscale. Weapon and armor shops replaced the previous inns, their windows displaying gleaming swords and shields and exquisite armor. Some adventurers were selecting equipment and haggling with the shopkeepers. The buildings here were taller and more elaborate, with stone replacing wood as the primary building material, reflecting the residents' wealth.
Clearly, in the city of Roya, the closer one's residence is to the center, the higher one's status and wealth.
Located in the very center of the city is the most magnificent building—the mansion of Lord Fituya, which is also Alice's home.
The mansion is built of white marble, with a roof covered in red tiles. The courtyard is spacious, and the walls are carved with exquisite patterns, which shows the noble status of the Boreas family.
Chen Ming walked straight to the lord's mansion and said to the gatekeeper, "I am Wuxian."
Because he defeated the immortal demon king Badigandi in one move, the name "Infinite" spread throughout the entire continent.
So just by announcing their name, they immediately attracted attention!
The butler immediately came out to greet them, bowing respectfully: "It is an honor for us to have Lord Wuxian grace us with his presence. Please follow me."
Chen Ming was led to a luxuriously decorated reception room. The room was covered with thick carpets, and the walls were adorned with exquisite tapestries and oil paintings. The furniture was made of high-quality mahogany.
"Young Master will be back soon, please wait a moment, Lord Wuxian."
As the butler spoke, he served Chen Ming a cup of fragrant, high-quality black tea, then respectfully retreated to the door to await further instructions.
Chen Ming knew that the young master he was referring to was Philip Boreas, the mayor of Roya, the capital of the Fitoa territory. It was currently working hours, so he was naturally not at home.
So Chen Ming patiently sat down on the comfortable sofa, just about to taste his black tea, when he heard a series of light and hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Where is he? Is this the place?" A clear but domineering voice rang out.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the reception room was kicked open.
A little girl of about six years old appeared at the door. She swaggered into the room, her bright red curly hair bouncing and swaying like burning flames with her movements.
Chen Ming sensed at first glance that this little girl was very arrogant.
Her eyes were slightly upturned, giving her an arrogant air; her bright red pupils gleamed with curiosity and a defiant spirit; her clothes, though exquisite, appeared somewhat disheveled due to her movements. She stood with her hands on her hips, staring directly at Chen Ming without fear, as if examining an interesting toy.

Chapter 251: Saving Lives and Doing Good Deeds to Accumulate Merit
Chen Ming knew that this little girl named Alice Boreas would grow up to become a renowned swordswoman on the continent, becoming a legendary figure with her unparalleled swordsmanship and powerful combat abilities.
But at this moment, she was merely an overindulgent and willful noblewoman, full of curiosity about the world yet accustomed to solving problems with violence.
As the eldest daughter of the Boreas Grerat family, a high-ranking noble family in the Kingdom of Asra, Alice should have received a rigorous aristocratic education, cultivating dignified and elegant manners and a wealth of knowledge and talent.
However, in reality, this young lady had absolutely nothing to do with these aristocratic qualities.
Her growth story can be described as a "blood and tears history of tutors" - five tutors tried to teach her, but without exception they resigned because they could not stand Alice's violence. Some even had to be beaten by this super strong little girl to the point of needing to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
These unpleasant experiences ultimately led to no one being willing to take on the task of teaching Alice anymore.
Therefore, Alice spends most of her time with her grandfather, Sauros Boreas Grerat.
Unfortunately, what this grandfather instilled in his granddaughter was not orthodox aristocratic upbringing, but rather some rather "unusual" concepts: such as "having sexual relations with a beastman slave girl is not considered adultery," "speaking with authority, preferably by shouting," and "the most effective way to solve problems is through violence," and so on.
These ideas were deeply ingrained in Alice's young mind, shaping her current behavior patterns.
Having been spoiled and unruly in the mansion since childhood, Alice has developed a willful and capricious personality. Today, upon hearing that the legendary strongest hero, [Infinite], who defeated the immortal demon king Badigandi, has visited the mansion, she immediately rushed over excitedly, eager to see this legendary hero with her own eyes.
"Humph!"
Alice glanced at Chen Ming once, then immediately adopted a standing posture with her arms crossed and legs spread apart, clearly showing her disdain for him.
The little girl puffed out her cheeks, made a displeased face, and said in a loud voice, "What?! This person is so young! And he's not strong at all. How could someone like that defeat the Demon King? Are you kidding me?!"
Alice was right. Since taking the [Longevity Potion], Chen Ming's body had reversed its aging and reached the state of about 18 years old. He looked very young, which was far from the legendary image of a hero who defeated the Demon King.
Moreover, the "strong" that this little girl understands is the kind of physique where the whole body is bulging with muscles, like a human tank.
Although Chen Ming's combat strength has grown to a terrifying level, he maintains a very well-proportioned physique, neither fat nor thin, with smooth and concealed muscle lines, which is completely inconsistent with the little girl's imagination of a "strongman".
So when faced with Alice's blunt questioning, Chen Ming wasn't angry; instead, he found it amusing.
He smiled slightly and countered, "According to you, there are plenty of old and strong warriors in the Kingdom's Knights. Does that mean they can all defeat the Demon King?"
This question was clearly beyond Alice's comprehension.
She paused for a moment, then, unable to understand the question, she became so frustrated that she jumped up and down, shouting even louder, "What?! I don't understand!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming realized—he had almost forgotten that the Alice in front of him was a physically strong but simple-minded superhuman girl. In the original story, Alice could only write her own name until she was nine years old, her level of education was pitifully low, let alone understanding a problem that required logical thinking.
Seeing Alice's face flushed with confusion, Chen Ming couldn't help but find it a little funny.
He knew that to deal with this capricious young lady, he needed to use the simplest and most direct method—perhaps demonstrating some strength would be more effective than verbal explanations.
Chen Ming looked around and noticed a warm flame burning in the fireplace of the reception room.
So he gently raised his hand, and subtle magical fluctuations gathered at his fingertips.
The next moment, the flames in the fireplace seemed to come alive, leaping and transforming into a magnificent fire phoenix. After gracefully circling once in the room, it silently returned to the fireplace, as if nothing had happened.
This exquisite manipulation of fire made Alice's eyes widen, and she temporarily forgot her previous confusion. Although she couldn't understand complex language, she had a keen sense of perception for direct displays of power.
"Is this the power to defeat the Demon King?"
Alice's voice held less doubt and more curiosity. Her red eyes shone with a complex light, a mixture of surprise, growing admiration, and even a hint of eagerness to learn.
Chen Ming observed her reaction and knew that he had initially piqued her interest.
He understood that to train this girl well and transform her into an outstanding young lady, he needed patience and the right methods.
Just as Chen Ming was pondering how to discipline him, three hurried and powerful footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door.
Each of these footsteps had its own distinct characteristics—one was heavy and majestic, one was light but slightly weary, and another was almost silent yet carried the rhythm unique to warriors.
"What's wrong, Thomas? Why is the door open?"
A loud, booming voice rang out from outside the door, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
As soon as he finished speaking, three people filed in from outside the door.
The man at the front was broad-shouldered and burly, around fifty years old. Although his dark brown hair was streaked with silver, he still exuded an aura of youthful vigor.
The man had a resolute face, with deep wrinkles etched on his forehead, showing the marks of years of hard work, but his sharp eyes still shone brightly, revealing extraordinary decisiveness. He wore a deep purple noble robe, with exquisite gold emblems embroidered on the collar and cuffs, highlighting his noble status.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, it's Miss Alice who's here..."
Thomas, the butler waiting at the door, immediately explained, then turned to Chen Ming and respectfully introduced him:
"This is Lord Sauros Boreas Grerat, the lord of the Fituia territory."
