Tianji Pavilion Spiritual Wine soared to 4.5 billion in sales on its first day, captivating consumers and dominating headlines despite online trolls incited by the envious Fer Family. Shen Tianxing quelled the backlash by announcing all profits would fund the Xingxi Charity Foundation. Meanwhile, she and Dugu Zixi infiltrated the Fer Family's stronghold, imposing soul contracts on its leaders and confiscating their treasures and billions to repurpose for good.

Dugu Zixi encircled her shoulders with his arm and murmured gently, "I’m glad you understand."

Shen Tianxing abruptly recalled something and raised her eyes to him once more, "That’s right, my parents and my little brother are going home tomorrow. Are you free? If you are, come with me to see them off."

Dugu Zixi lifted his brows in astonishment and inquired softly, "Your in-laws are departing so quickly? Why not extend their stay a bit longer? I’m currently on vacation and could show them around."

Shen Tianxing let out a soft sigh, "I wish they could remain longer, but they mentioned being away for several days and fretting over home matters. My father needs to oversee the company, and my younger brothers have school, so they must return."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Zixi grasped their circumstances and responded, "Then they can visit again later, or we could travel to see them when we have time."

"Okay, then let’s go together to see them off tomorrow."

"Sure!"

The following day, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing jointly escorted Shen Tianxing’s parents and twin brothers onto the plane.

Only upon their return did Dugu Zixi discover a charming, aloof yet haughty young boy remaining at the South Island Gardens villa.

Dugu Zixi recalled that over the last couple of days, this kid had constantly trailed after Shen Tianxing’s parents. So why was he lingering now that they had left?

Sensing something amiss, Dugu Zixi promptly sought out Shen Tianxing and questioned her straightforwardly about You Feng, "Xiaoxing, who’s that young boy? Why is he staying with you?"

Shen Tianxing held nothing back from him and detailed her entire encounter with You Feng, sharing every event no matter how trivial.

After hearing the account, Dugu Zixi spoke in a tone laced with jealousy, "So he just clung to you like that?"

Noticing his displeased look, Shen Tianxing caught on immediately and hurried to soothe him, "You Feng is ill, and I haven’t pinpointed the cause yet. Once he recovers, I’ll decide his future arrangements. Oh, and you’re my master, far more powerful than me. Why not help diagnose what ails him?"

Dugu Zixi gave a smug hum tinged with pride, "If I heal him, will there be a reward for me?"

Shen Tianxing smiled back, "Yes!"

Dugu Zixi pushed on, "What sort of reward?"

Shen Tianxing laughed lightly, "I’ll give you a kiss as a reward!"

Dugu Zixi remained unsatisfied, "Only a kiss? Nothing more?"

Shen Tianxing shot him a mock-irritated glance and teased, "Are you scorning my kiss? If not interested, never mind!"

Dugu Zixi quickly sought to placate her, "No no no, I want it, I want it. Can I claim it right now?"

With those words, he pulled her into his embrace.

Shen Tianxing permitted just one kiss before shoving him back, "Alright, you’ve collected your advance. Now get to it."

Under her firm restraint, Dugu Zixi resigned himself and declared, "As you command, my beloved wife."

Shen Tianxing roused You Feng from his meditation on the living room sofa and introduced, "You Feng, meet my fiancé, Dugu Zixi. You’ve heard of him, haven’t you?"

You Feng nodded, his gaze appraising Dugu Zixi sharply, as though seeking flaws that made him unworthy of Shen Tianxing.

Yet Dugu Zixi’s impeccable looks and his supremely imposing aura, akin to a celestial Sky God, left You Feng unable to spot any imperfections.

Observing them side by side, a flawless couple resembling painted immortals, You Feng sensed unease stirring within.

Still, he intuited that beyond Dugu Zixi’s flawless visage, his cultivation was profoundly unfathomable.

At minimum, facing Dugu Zixi evoked the sensation of staring down a primordial savage beast, his mind instinctively surging with dread and an urge to yield.

What origins did Dugu Zixi possess? How could his power be so immense?

This marked the mightiest individual he had crossed paths with since entering this realm.

Both he and Shen Tianxing appeared extraordinarily exceptional.

Might they, like himself, hail from beyond this world?

Yet that possibility seemed improbable!

Over recent days, blending with Shen’s parents, he had gathered much intel from them, learning that though Shen Tianxing wasn’t their blood daughter, she was undeniably a native, raised right here.

Claiming it was a body possession didn’t hold up either.

Were it a possession, he surely would have detected it.

You Feng could scarcely fathom that Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing were true Sky Gods and Fairy Kings from the Fairy Realm, divine entities retaining full memories.

Despite his own history in the Cultivation Fairy Realm amid shattered stars, his cultivation hadn’t neared the threshold for ascending to the Fairy Realm.

Thus, it was inevitable that Dugu Zixi’s presence instinctively instilled fear and submission in him.

Shen Tianxing observed the confrontation between the towering man and the diminutive boy.

From her vantage nearby, she perceived their stares colliding in a wordless clash.

It was only after You Feng averted his gaze first that Shen Tianxing grinned and told him, "Xiaofeng, Zixi is not just my fiancé but a Fairy King descended to this realm, boasting vast powers. Your cure hinges solely on him, so cooperate fully later, okay?"

You Feng nodded agreeably, "Okay!"

Though outwardly composed, turmoil churned inside him.

He had contemplated countless scenarios, yet never dreamed Dugu Zixi was a Fairy King from the Fairy Realm.

Hailing from the Cultivation Fairy Realm of fallen stars himself, even there, immortals were exceedingly rare.

Along this defiant road to immortality, every level had felled countless souls.

Hence, the emergence of the Chaos Spiritual Pearl—said to grant immortality—ignited a brutal conflict among myriad cultivators, leaving him marooned in this dimension with a shattered physique.

Did encountering Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing signal another chance for him?

Sticking close to them, could he someday attain immortality too?

Should they truly guide him to eternal life, he’d sacrifice all for it!

His nascent affection for Shen Tianxing swiftly morphed into pure brotherly fondness.

He was convinced this alone would convince Dugu Zixi to let him remain nearby.

While You Feng indulged in such rampant thoughts, Dugu Zixi’s jade-like fingers had delicately seized his wrist to check the pulse.

Dugu Zixi’s Divine Sense swept in too, delving through You Feng’s body exhaustively, probing every nook for the root of his affliction.

Spotting the Chaos Spiritual Pearl concealed deep in You Feng’s sea of consciousness, covertly draining his vitality, Dugu Zixi instantly pinpointed the source of the illness.
