"You still haven't answered me—do you like it here? It's very different from the estate style in Kyoto."
"I do. I like the technological elements here, but I also love the classical feel of Kyoto. It’d be perfect if the two could merge."
Hearing this response, Luo Yao’s eyes sparkled with an idea, as if she’d just figured something out.
"Yao Yao, you’re not thinking of creating something based on my preferences, are you? There’s no need for that."
Luo Yao was surprised Lin Ran had guessed her thoughts so easily. Had he already come to understand her this well?
"Ran, let’s head inside first?"
The distance from the helipad to the villa area wasn’t short enough to walk, so Luo Yao led Lin Ran to a prearranged car.
As they entered the residential zone, Lin Ran got a close-up view of the interior.
If the Kyoto estate exuded luxury, this place radiated cutting-edge technology.
Stepping into the living area, everything in sight was smart and automated.
After getting out of the car, the path beneath their feet transformed into a shimmering black, elevating the grandeur of the owners’ return.
The villa staff stood in two neat rows, bowing respectfully.
At least they weren’t robots—otherwise, Lin Ran might’ve wondered if he’d stepped into the future.
"Welcome home, Miss. Welcome home, Young Master Lin."
Upon entering, a massive temperature-controlled swimming pool stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Are you sure this isn’t some tourist attraction?"
It did somewhat resemble an ultra-luxury resort.
"My world only has one attraction—wherever you are," Luo Yao replied without hesitation.
Just then, a woman approached.
"Welcome home, President Luo! Welcome home, Young Master Lin!"
There was no butler here—instead, a professional estate manager, Jiang Feihua, filled a similar role.
Lin Ran learned that this woman, referred to as "Manager Jiang," was the highest authority in the estate in their absence.
With a practiced smile, Jiang Feihua said,
"Miss, Young Master Lin, you must be tired from the journey. Please rest first."
She then bowed deeply and gestured for them to proceed.
For some reason, though Manager Jiang’s actions were flawless, Lin Ran felt an inexplicable discomfort—he just couldn’t pinpoint why.
Luo Yao walked straight ahead without sparing a glance at anyone, including Jiang Feihua.
Still bowing, Jiang Feihua maintained her smile while carefully observing the owners’ every move, ensuring no need went unnoticed.
The villa’s design wasn’t traditional—it was nestled between a mountain and water, as if embedded in nature, clearly the work of a master architect.
The three-story structure wasn’t tall but oddly featured two elevators.
Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh at the extravagance—what a waste! With that effort, they might as well have taken the stairs.
Jiang Feihua considerately pressed the elevator button. Once Lin Ran and Luo Yao stepped inside, she smiled politely and asked,
"Miss, which floor shall we go to?"
Luo Yao didn’t answer. Instead, she fixed Jiang Feihua with an icy stare.
A chill ran down Jiang Feihua’s spine, and she immediately lowered her head.
Luo Yao: "Get out."
Without a word, Jiang Feihua hurried out of the elevator. Only then did Luo Yao’s smile return.
Lin Ran was puzzled by Luo Yao’s behavior, but before he could ask, she silenced him—one hand pressing the elevator button, the other resting on his head.
On the second floor, Luo Yao effortlessly guided Lin Ran to the master bedroom, bathed in natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and fully integrated smart home systems.
To Lin Ran’s surprise, there were two beds.
Luo Yao led him to one of them.
"This is a waterbed—specially prepared for you. It’s even automated."
Lin Ran chuckled and tested the surface with his hand.
Luo Yao was truly a little devil who constantly reshaped his understanding of the world.
"How can someone so… colorfully minded still be so successful in business?"
Lin Ran voiced the question weighing on his soul. He was genuinely curious.
"Because you’re my sustenance. Only when I’m with you can I face everything in my best state."
She pointed at the waterbed again.
"Ran, want to try it now?"
Lin Ran: "Let’s wait till tonight. I’m still adjusting to the new environment, and I’m a bit dizzy. Need to recover first."
Little did he know, this decision would haunt him for days.
Because when night fell, Luo Yao’s "relative" arrived right on schedule.
Well, that settled it—complete shutdown mode activated.
The waterbed became just a bed for sleeping.
In the afternoon, the assistant team settled into the estate’s guest rooms, while the security team had their designated quarters.
The entire Kyoto security team had relocated here—core members arrived via helicopter with them, while the rest flew in earlier.
Seems Luo Yao wasn’t entirely confident about safety in Shanghai.
Here, Lin Ran sensed the security had leveled up again.
By evening, Lin Ran was startled to see an unexpected visitor.
"Uncle Fu? Why are you here all of a sudden?"
Lin Ran was confused—wasn’t Uncle Fu supposed to stay in Kyoto?
And with Little Anjian about to undergo surgery, wasn’t his presence needed beside Granny Wang?
"You’ll have to ask the young miss. She instructed me to come."
Just then, Jiang Feihua appeared.
"Young Master Lin, dinner is ready. Please proceed to the dining hall."
"Alright. Where’s Yao Yao?"
"I’ve already informed Miss. She’s on her way from the work area."
When Lin Ran reached the dining hall, Luo Yao arrived moments later.
To his astonishment, the dining setup was another high-tech spectacle—an automated restaurant.
Chefs cooked in the kitchen, and finished dishes were delivered via overhead mechanical arms, eliminating any need for human servers.
Frankly, eating here made them feel redundant—even feeding could be done by machines.
"This is ridiculous. Might as well declare us useless," Lin Ran grumbled.
Watching his exasperated expression, Luo Yao found him utterly adorable.
She couldn’t help but adore everything about him.
Jiang Feihua was about to introduce the menu to Luo Yao when a cold glare from her instantly silenced the manager.
Lin Ran tried lifting his chair to move closer to Luo Yao but found it immovable. A closer inspection ignited a simmering fury in his eyes.
He forced himself to endure through the meal.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
