All the girls went with the mother-daughter duo to show them the mansion's garden and interiors. That way Yue Qingyu would know that Xie Feng really didn't lie when he told her earlier that his house in Eminentis City was really big and, although it was easy and would take little time to keep everything in order, she would still need two or three hours a day of work.
This might make Shui Wuhen's mother not feel so bad about accepting the help that Xie Feng was giving them selflessly since she already felt indebted to him for the help he had given them in the past.
Before the girls disappeared two minor events happened that were a hint of amusement.
One was the jealous looks Mu Wuying received from Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Shen Xinya; the three girls looked at her as if she was soon to get something precious that they too longed for with all their hearts and Mu Wuying could not help but secretly laugh.
The second funny event was when Shui Wuhen said that she wanted to stay with Xie Feng since she would be his wife in the future anyway and therefore they should spend more time together. But the funniest thing was that the girl actually became jealous of Mu Wuying and warned her with serious eyes over and over again that she should not get too close to him or else she would ask in her prayers to Goddess Mei Hen to punish her.
The latter made Xie Feng could not help but laugh out loud and caress little Shui Wuhen's hair while Mu Wuying looked at her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xie Feng and Mu Wuying walked inside the mansion holding hands. They walked through the long corridors in silence that was in no way uncomfortable and on the contrary felt as warm as the warm spring sunshine after a stormy day.
Mu Wuying had a bright smile coming from the depths of her soul on her face that seemed to light up the whole world. She gently held onto Xie Feng's hand as she played with his fingers and observed the surroundings of the places they passed by with curiosity.
From the long burgundy upholstered carpet that covered the entire floor to the crystal chandeliers that acted as holders for the magical candles that illuminated every corner of the place, she looked at it all in awe of the architecture of this world and amazed at how beautiful this mansion was that could easily be the number one or number two palace she had ever seen in her lifetime in terms of beauty and elegance.
Xie Feng led her through the corridors until they reached the third and top floor before finally stopping in front of a wooden door covered in a varnish-like substance. She gently squeezed his hand expectantly, but he shook his head to her surprise.
Without a word, he opened the door to the room and quietly approached the queen-sized bed on the west side.
There, covered with pink blankets, was a girl sleeping deeply with a small smile on her face. Her black hair was neatly tidied to the side of her face giving her an angelic appearance.
"This little girl sleeps peacefully while we went back and forth from hell several times in less than five hours..." Xie Feng whispered and couldn't help but reach his free hand forward to adjust a lock of Han Xue Nai's hair that had been messed up by a sudden movement.
It was truly amazing how this little girl could sleep like a little pig while the humanity of this entire continent encountered an enemy capable of annihilating everything at will if it wanted to. Not only that, the players were a hair's breadth away from starting a war with the soldiers of Eminentis City, and the Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian was humiliated, beaten, and now who knew if he was alive or dead after being played by Xie Feng.
While all this was going on, Han Xue Nai slept as if the world depended on it.
Xie Feng shook his head and after making sure she was well and comfortable he led Mu Wuying out of the room and then carefully and quietly closed the door to avoid waking the little sleepy girl inside.
"Isn't that little girl the same one who destroyed a distant star with her little fist?" she asked in surprise. She had restrained herself in the room as she did not want to wake Han Xue Nai but now she could no longer bear the curiosity inside.
This was the first time Mu Wuying had seen Han Xue Nai together with Xie Feng and because she and he did not live together nor did they especially spend much time together even in college as often their schedules did not coincide, only now did she know about it.
Xie Feng led her by the hand along the corridor as he explained in a summary the events that happened after defeating the God of Human Sacrifice and how Han Xue Nai had appeared in his home to now become a family member who was loved by all.
Mu Wuying sighed softly and whispered while gently squeezing his hand, "So many things happened in your life but I am not by your side to enjoy them together with you."
Xie Feng stopped just outside the final room of the third floor corridor and looked into her eyes as he took her other hand to hold both between his and said warmly, "Whenever you want you can come to live by my side. Yaoyao, Qianxue, and even the little devil Xinya who moved out not too long ago name you occasionally, waiting for you, their sister."
Mu Wuying leaned forward and because she was a rather tall woman she only needed to strain a little to reach his lips. After a gentle kiss in which their lips only met for two seconds she announced, "It will be soon, I promise."
Xie Feng released one of her hands and opened the door to the room in front of them as he said, "I look forward to it. You know you can count on me for anything, don't you?"
"I know." She nodded as he led her inside and closed the door with a small thud behind him, leaving the hallways clear and devoid of movement except for the occasional swaying of the magical fire from the candles that adorned the surroundings.

A few thousand kilometers away from Eminentis City, the territory of a monster called White Sand Worm level 10.
Emperor Xuan Liuxian was panting noisily as he leaned on a tree and glared at the sky with hatred.
Actually, after fighting for nearly an hour, he had finally broken through the encirclement of the Vengeful Scorpions, managing to escape from death by a hair's breadth.
During the whole process, Emperor Xuan Liuxian came close to being stung by the vengeful scorpions' mortifying pointed tails on several occasions but fortunately for him he managed to avoid death's embrace at the last second. Finally, after killing over a hundred thousand of those small but terrifying level five monsters, Xuan Liuxian managed to escape from the territory of those horrendous creatures and survive what seemed to be certain death.
However, he had depleted 90% of his mana, and currently, he did not possess a treasure capable of recovering all his mana points like the Sacred Leaf that could recover 100% of his health points, Therefore, considering how high his total mana was, he would need to spend several days drinking blue potions as even the NPCs had to respect the cooldown times between the use of each potion, which prevented him from being able to drink many in a short time to recover faster.
"Damn... I should definitely peel the skin-"
Bang!
The emperor was so frustrated and annoyed that his imperial attitude had already flown out the window and he had started cursing. However, his words stopped as the sky cracked like a mirror falling to the ground as if reality was not reality.
Under the emperor's disbelieving eyes, a small figure emerged from the crack and began to slowly descend while looking at him with eyes brimming with anger.
Saint Grade! Saint Grade Boss! Xuan Liuxian's mind went blank for a moment before his body instinctively moved and rose into the air to flee.
Fortunately for him, he had already moved far enough away to avoid the effect of the flight suppression magic array, unfortunately for him, his speed was too slow.
Swoosh!
In a matter of seconds, that small silhouette appeared in front of him blocking his path, and without saying a single word struck forward with its fist.
BOOM!
Xuan Liuxian felt as if a mountain had hit him in the chest and he was sent flying back to the ground.
-3.237.835
Just a seemingly normal little fist had taken over three million health points, which was surprising considering that this little silhouette was a human and not a fierce dragon.
Just as the emperor's face was turning pale with fear and he thought that his life would end there since his flying speed was insufficient, a giant white dragon several kilometers long descended from the clouds.
"Although I don't know how you appeared here, you are clearly not from these lands." The Light Saint Dragon's voice echoed. "But I can feel the anger coursing through your body, which tells me that words probably won't be enough to stop you... Still, I would like to ask you to please let the human live. His head will soon be taken by someone else and I fear that if you kill him you will make things more complicated for everyone here."
The small silhouette ignored the giant dragon and dashed towards the ground in search of the emperor as if he was the only thing that existed in its eyes. Too bad for the emperor, the way its eyes were looking at him was not friendly at all.
