Li Chen returns to his wives after a battle, apologizing for his recklessness and promising to be more transparent. The family reconciles, and Li Chen vows to protect them, even considering an escape plan to the Heaven-Shrouding Realm should the Starry Universe fall. To foster a sense of normalcy and explore new places, Li Chen proposes a family trip and decides on names for his children, Li Haoheng and Li Yilin.

Since the day when the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign named his children, the entire family disappeared from the Borderland Realm.

Apart from an alter ego of the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign occasionally handling some important matters, no one knows where they’ve gone.

As for the challenge of facing the Starry Universe, it continues.

However, the ones facing the enemy have become Li Chen’s three disciples.

Moreover, in the Borderland Realm, there is already the Spiritual Treasure who has stepped into the Heaven and Earth Realm, and both the Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and Ning Wangyang are about to enter this realm. So, there’s nothing to worry about.

Li Chen left quite easily.

Perhaps, Li Chen is also aware that after this trip, he would have no more time to rest.

"In life, there are two or three worrying things, four or five troubling things, six or seven heartbreaking things, and unsatisfactory things occupy eight to nine parts. This last part should be enjoyed well."

On a mountain range lined with overlapping peaks, a cable car suspended on steel wires slowly moves past, with tourists enjoying the beautiful scenery, faces alight with joyful smiles.

It seems that under this spectacular sight, some of the grievances accumulated in their chests have vanished.

At this moment, a man in a brown sweater smiles at the young man next to him.

"What you said makes sense, bro." The young man smiles and nods.

The man chuckled, "Makes sense? It’s just a lousy excuse to give myself a break after feeling bottled up for so long."

"Normally, I push myself to the brink, wanting to make more money to support myself and my family. But everyone has a limit — if you stretch the string too tight, no matter how strong, it’ll always break. So, taking advantage of this rare day off, I came out to relax."

"Yeah." The young man nodded in deep agreement.

"Moreover, at home I always face that unhappy old face, so being bottled up is uncomfortable. Isn’t it nice to come out and check out some beauties for a change?" The man said, as his gaze ’cautiously’ swept over the other female tourists in the cable car.

It must be said, the man felt that this trip was worth it. Who would’ve thought there would be such an assembly of top-tier beauties in a cable car that only fits twenty or thirty people.

The young man smiled slightly, not paying much attention, but the unintentional glance made him somewhat cautious.

"Ahem! Bro, no matter how good the outside beauties are, they can’t compare to your own wife, right?" The young man said softly.

"Yeah." At this point, the man surprisingly agreed: "Outside beauties are pretty, but they’re just eye-candy. Men, after all, think with their lower half; once they’ve seen them, that’s it. Only the old-faced lady at home who can stay with you until old age is the best woman."

"Hey." The man gestured forward with his mouth: "Actually, my wife and kids are sitting at the front. I’m not bragging, but in terms of looks, they certainly aren’t as stunning as these few top beauties here. But in my eyes, she’s the best woman under the heavens."

The young man turned his head to look, and indeed, she was just an ordinary woman of average appearance, already with significant effort put into makeup. If she removed her makeup, it might be even harder to keep one’s gaze.

Yet, such an ordinary woman is the best woman in the eyes of the man beside her.

It could be seen from the tenderness in the man’s eyes that he wasn’t being insincere.

"What you say makes sense, bro. The home flower may not be as fragrant as the wild flower, but wild flowers lack the closeness of the home flower." The young man smiled and said.

"Bro, I find that sitting here was the right choice, the more we talk, the more I like you." The man laughed heartily.

Simultaneously, the young man also felt that a few unfriendly gazes were upon him, like he had said something wrong again.

In fact, the young man and the man spoke quietly, and with the strong mountain wind in the high air, it’s hard for others to hear what they were discussing. But those few gazes strongly suggested that his every word had fallen on certain people’s ears.

"Alright, bro, let’s not talk about these distressing matters, let’s talk about the beauties." The man changed the topic with a smile.

"Look, in this car full of beauties, a few are absolutely top-notch." The man, without much focus on the cable car’s interior, easily identified them keenly.

"It’s a pity, though, that two of them seem married already, look, they’re even holding children." Smacking his lips, the man said: "Such beauties, hard to say which damned lucky bastard got them. Not to worry about wolves taking them away while they’re out playing."

The young man awkwardly rubbed his nose, not saying a word.

"The others are of this grade too." The man, disregarding the young man’s expression, while his eyes seemed to roam the vast majestic mountain scenery below, kept mumbling: "I say, these beauties carry an immortal aura that just makes people feel refreshing, way more spiritual than any stars."

"Too bad, my kid is already old enough to go run errands, else I’d try my luck. Even if it didn’t lead to the beauties’ favor, just a few words would be nice. Wonder who this lucky bastard will be."

The young man’s face grew increasingly embarrassed.

After looking around and chatting all the way, the cable car finally reached its destination and came to a stop.

Then, the man found his wife and kids, ready to head to the next place.

At this time, he saw the young man, prepared to greet him, only to see that a few of the high-evaluated beauties approached the young man with whom he had been having a lively chat, and... their eyes seemed a bit unfriendly?

"Well... bro, this is..." The man looked with some perplexity at the two beauties holding children.

"My wife and kids." Li Chen, who had been inadvertently called a bastard twice, replied with a strange look.

The man was amazed but more so didn’t know what expression to use to look at the young man, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at the few ’immortal-aura’ beauties he dared not even approach, and patted the young man’s shoulder.

"Brother, impressive! Take care!"

As for why the young man could have more than one wife, the man didn’t ask, nor was there a need to ask, after all, it wasn’t his business. But chatting with someone while calling that person a bastard, that’s a bit too much.

The man waved to Li Chen, took his wife and kids, and left hurriedly.

Li Chen coughed once, about to suggest they head to the next place, when his ear was suddenly pinched by a hand.

An Qin’s cold voice rang in Li Chen’s ear.

"The home flower isn’t as fragrant as the wild flower, is that it?"

Being stared at by several eyes simultaneously, Li Chen, with a powerful physique that wouldn’t feel the slightest chill even in extreme cold, couldn’t help but shiver.

"Um... kidding, just kidding. Wife is the most fragrant."
