"Brother, any thoughts?"

"Slander. Rumors. This is outright defamation."

Xu Xi's lips twitched as he prepared to disperse this temporal bubble, but Wu Yingxue stopped him.

"Wait, sir, let me see what happens next!"

Like a fan engrossed in the climax of a drama.

Wu Yingxue was visibly excited, pleading with Xu Xi to let her watch a little longer.

"Master, I'm also curious about what comes next," Ailei chimed in, voicing her support.

Seeing the girls' eagerness to continue, Xu Xi halted his attempt to dissolve the temporal bubble.

Inside it,

more fantastical scenes were unfolding.

……

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi is the world's greatest genius, his intellect immeasurable—an infinity within infinity.]

[His status is exalted, his bloodline noble. From the moment of his birth, the entire hospital erupted in screams of excitement.]

[At one year old, he mastered eighteen languages.]

[At two, he founded a business empire.]

[At three, he achieved controlled nuclear fusion.]

[At four, he recited pi backward flawlessly.]

[At five, Xu·Ao Tian·Xi attended kindergarten for the first time, stepping out of his 24K gold sports car under the protection of eighty-one black-suited bodyguards.]

[His chiseled, ice-cold features left the entire kindergarten staff and students swooning.]

["Oh heavens, he is my god!"]

[A stray dog on the street, upon glimpsing Xu·Ao Tian·Xi's face, was so moved it began speaking human words on the spot.]

["Hmph, merely a trifling hardship."]

[Now eighteen, Xu·Ao Tian·Xi stood before a mirror, gazing at his peerless visage and coldly scoffing—yes, he was still this devastatingly handsome.]

[His broad shoulders and tall frame, his obsidian eyes deep as the abyss—anyone who dared meet his gaze might as well have been staring into the face of a god.]

["Master, it's time for school."]

[His devoted maid, Ailei, reminded him.]

[Indeed, even a god among mortals must abide by the world's rules and attend school.]

……

Stunned.

Frowning.

Speechless.

Xu Xi's expression cycled through a series of changes, feeling as though his entire reputation was about to be ruined by this bubble world.

"Who secretly added this nonsense?!" Xu Xi demanded.

"Not me, Mentor."

"Nor I, Great Sorcerer."

The girls all denied any involvement in embellishing the story.

Xu Xi believed them.

Not really.

……

Inside the temporal bubble, the scenes continued to unfold.

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi left his bedroom, striding down a corridor lined with diamonds before entering an elevator crafted from rainbow crystal, descending from the 999th-floor penthouse to the ground floor.]

["CEO!!"]

[As soon as his icy visage appeared at the elevator doors, everyone in the lobby dropped to one knee in reverence.]

[One person couldn't resist stealing a glance and immediately fainted from the sheer divine beauty of his face.]

["CEO, Mr. Ma invites you to dinner."]

["I must attend school," Xu·Ao Tian·Xi coldly refused. Such was his dedication to learning.]

["CEO, Lamborghini has designed a new sports car for you."]

["I must attend school," Xu·Ao Tian·Xi coldly refused. Such was his discipline.]

["Good morning, brother."]

[At the doorstep, Servia, the second-in-command of the Xu Corporation and his younger sister, greeted him.]

["Mm. Morning."]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi remained unmoved, coldly boarding his gold-plated sports car and taking a slow drag from his cigar as the chauffeur drove him to school.]

[Leaving Servia standing there, fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms.]

……

?

??

???

Almost simultaneously, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Moli and Servia.

"If Servia is the younger sister, then where does Moli fit in?"

Xu Xi felt the plot had gone off the rails.

The mechanical servant mused, "Master, perhaps the answer lies in what comes next."

Servia looked bewildered. "Huh? Why would I hurt myself for no reason?"

……

[The noble Xu·Ao Tian·Xi strode with understated grace into Nine Provinces Vocational Institute, the world's most elite academy, inaccessible to ordinary mortals.]

[Yet, dust could never obscure the radiance of the sun.]

[No matter how low-key Xu·Ao Tian·Xi tried to be, people recognized him instantly, falling to their knees in tears, crying out as if witnessing the descent of a deity.]

[But among the countless masses, only one figure remained unaffected—a pure and untainted presence.]

[Clutching a textbook, she hurried toward the lecture hall.]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi saw her—a girl untainted by the world's filth, pure and resilient, her heart wholly devoted to her studies, a rare light amidst the ignorant masses.]

["Hey, woman, you've caught my attention."]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi smirked devilishly, his smile so dazzling it instantly rendered every female student in the school unconscious.]

[Except her.]

[The woman pure as white moonlight.]

[She looked up, utterly unfazed by his godlike beauty, and retorted angrily, "My name isn't 'woman'—it's Xu Moli!"]

[!!!!!]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi was shocked to his core.]

[No, this couldn't be. A woman immune to his charms?]

[His lips curled uncontrollably before erupting into a maniacal laugh. He pinned Xu Moli against the wall with one hand and declared to the world with domineering finality,]

["Good. Very good!"]

["Xu Moli, you're the only woman in the world who dares defy me like this. Within three minutes, I will marry you!"]

[The entire world fainted for a full second upon hearing this proclamation.]

["You—?!" Xu Moli was visibly moved, hands covering her mouth as tears welled in her eyes.]

[Thunderous applause erupted.]

[Everyone wept at Xu Xi's unwavering devotion.]

[All except one—the Xu family's elderly butler, who stumbled forward in panic.]

["No, absolutely not, CEO!"]

[His voice was ragged with despair. "She is your biological sister!"]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi slammed his fist into the wall, leaving a crater. "No! I refuse to believe it! Show me proof!"]

["The proof is—she shares your surname, Xu!"]

[Xu·Ao Tian·Xi staggered as if struck by lightning, his godlike eyes widening in shock.]

[The butler continued, unveiling the truth. "In truth, Servia is my daughter. To give her a better life, I swapped her with Miss Moli years ago!"]

……

"Ah, so it's the switched-at-birth trope," Wu Yingxue realized.

With this, the logic was restored—Xu Moli was still Xu Xi's sister.

"Moli, Servia, are you two alright?"

Xu Xi glanced at the girls.

Their expressions were complicated, clearly unsettled by the absurd plot.

"Brother, can I destroy this thing now?"

"Great Sorcerer, I'd like to do the same."

Both raised their weapons in eerie synchronization.

But once again, someone intervened—Krisha and Wu Yingxue.

They, too, were curious about what roles they might play in this unfolding drama.
