The Miracle of Eternal Youth

The first snow in Ancheng fell all night, only gradually coming to a stop by the next morning.

Outside the Cloud Mansion villa, the entire world was covered in a thick layer of snow, clad in silvery white and completely silent. Inside this minimalist, tech-style villa, however, the smart whole-house climate control system was dutifully operating, maintaining the room temperature at a spring-like twenty-five degrees Celsius.

In the open fitness area on the first floor, Su Bai, wearing only a pair of loose sports shorts, was doing his morning workout.

Inhale... exhale...

Accompanied by his even and rhythmic breathing, Su Bai gripped the pull-up bar with both hands, performing impeccably standard weighted pull-ups. Under the bright lights, his body, boasting a 150-point physique, displayed a breathtaking, violent aesthetic akin to an ancient Greek sculpture.

His broad latissimus dorsi formed a perfect inverted triangle as he exerted force, and sweat slid down his chiseled abdominal muscles, dripping onto the floor. Even though he had spent an extremely long and pleasant night in the second-floor guest bedroom with that little white-stockinged rabbit, his energy levels were still outrageously abundant.

In contrast, Ke Yujia, who had just experienced her first time, was currently wrapped in the blankets of the large bed in the guest bedroom, sleeping like a comatose kitten. She probably wouldn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

After finishing his final set to exhaustion, Su Bai leaped lightly down from the bar and picked up a towel draped nearby to wipe the sweat from his body.

He walked over to a lounge chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sat down, took a sip of warm water, and then summoned the system panel in his mind.

Last night, after completely claiming his S-class childhood friend, Ke Yujia, the system's crisp notification chimes had been echoing in his head. However, he had been too busy conquering territory to bother looking at them in detail.

Now, it was time to tally up his spoils.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for successfully capturing the S-class Goddess (Special Childhood Friend Bond): Ke Yujia.

Target's purity is 100%, and affection has broken through the maximum value (dead set on you).

Distributing S-class special reward...

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special rule-type item/passive skill: Life Continuation!

Looking at the lines of text flashing with a dark golden light on his retinas, Su Bai's originally lazy gaze instantly sharpened, and his breathing involuntarily hitched.

Life Continuation?

The name sounded like it contained some kind of power that transcended mortal comprehension.

He immediately opened the detailed description of Life Continuation.

Item/Skill Name: Life Continuation

Grade: God-tier (Unique)

Effect Description: Life is an irreversible burning process, but the host has broken this rule. From the moment this ability is acquired, every time the host engages in deep physical and emotional communication with an S-class (or above) goddess, the Life Continuation effect will be triggered.

Specific Manifestations:

1. The cellular telomeres of both the host and the goddess will be repaired and lengthened at a microscopic level. Not only will this drastically extend absolute lifespan, but it will also achieve an eternal youth effect, keeping one's appearance ageless and solidifying physiological functions at their absolute peak.

2. The more frequent the communication and the deeper the emotional bond, the more significant the youth-retaining effect.

3. This effect is absolutely guaranteed for the host and any qualifying S-class goddesses, ignoring any natural aging laws and conventional disease invasions.

Hiss...

The moment he clearly read the description, even Su Bai, who usually wouldn't bat an eye if a mountain collapsed in front of him, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Eternal youth?!

It wasn't just extending lifespan; it was permanently locking their physical functions and appearance at their most perfect, peak period?!

Su Bai's grip on his water glass tightened slightly, his heart pounding wildly with extreme excitement.

This was absolutely fantastic!

For the current Su Bai, money was just a number. As long as he wanted, the cashback wealth he could farm in the future would be enough to buy half the world. He owned top-tier mansions, luxury cars, and countless beautiful confidantes, standing at the very pinnacle of power and wealth in this city.

However, all super-rich individuals eventually faced an ultimate fear that money couldn't solve: aging and death.

No matter how wealthy you were, when the time came, beauties would turn to dust and heroes would reach their twilight.

But now, the appearance of this Life Continuation completely shattered the ultimate iron law of this world!

Not only could he himself enjoy immortality, but he could even bring along his S-class beautiful confidantes, forever maintaining their current stunning appearances and peak stamina, eternally enjoying this extravagant and joyful billionaire lifestyle!

This is what you call a true God-tier reward...

Su Bai let out a long breath, a fanatical light glinting in his eyes.

With this skill, his massive harem wouldn't fade and wither with the passage of time. Instead, they would become his forever vibrant, forever enchanting companions throughout the long years ahead.

Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't wait to verify this new ability.

Although Ke Yujia in the guest bedroom was already overwhelmed, in the master bedroom, there was still a fox-like senior with slightly better stamina who had just finished a top-tier beauty spa yesterday.

...

Su Bai took a shower, changed into a comfortable set of loungewear, and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

On the large bed, Zhou Jialu was sleeping sprawled out. Her black silk nightgown had rolled up to her waist, revealing a large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin. The effects of yesterday's top-tier spa were indeed astonishing; even in a makeup-free, deep sleep state, her cheeks still exuded a peach-like pinkness.

As if sensing Su Bai's approach, Zhou Jialu's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened those alluring, fox-like eyes.

Mmm... what time is it...

She stretched in an extremely lazy manner, her voice carrying a heavy dose of morning grogginess and a hint of coquettishness. You monster, waking up so early.

It's not early anymore. It's time for a morning workout.

Su Bai chuckled lightly, walked to the side of the bed, pulled back her blanket, and directly pressed his tall body over hers.

Ah! What are you doing... I haven't even brushed my teeth yet!

Zhou Jialu symbolically pushed against his chest, but that soft, powerless motion was less of a rejection and more of a welcoming invitation.

It's fine, I don't mind.

Su Bai lowered his head, accurately sealing her chattering red lips.

Since he wanted to test the effects of Life Continuation, he naturally had to engage in the most profound communication.

On this cold winter morning, the master bedroom once again blossomed with the vibrance of spring.

Zhou Jialu had originally wanted to complain a bit more, but very quickly...

This time, Su Bai paid extra attention to the physical changes in both of their bodies.

At a certain moment, he faintly felt an extremely weak, yet spring-rain-like warm current quietly wandering through his limbs and bones.

It was a sense of lightness radiating from the very depths of his cells, as if even his breathing had become smoother and more brimming with vitality.

A long time later.

The wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Zhou Jialu slumped against Su Bai's chest like a puddle of soft mud, gasping for breath. Her already stunning face was now as radiant as a peach blossom, making it seem as though her entire body was glowing.

"Phew... why were you... so crazy today..."

Zhou Jialu weakly traced circles on Su Bai's chest with her finger, her voice heavily hoarse.

"Was I?" Su Bai asked tentatively, wrapping his arm around her smooth, slender waist and gently stroking her back. "Jialu, after we finished, did you feel any special changes?"

"Special changes?"

Zhou Jialu paused for a moment, closed her eyes, and carefully felt it out.

"Other than my legs feeling so weak they might snap..."

She looked up, her watery eyes gazing at Su Bai, a satisfied smile curving her lips. "I just feel... like it was even more comfortable than before. How should I describe it? It's like my whole body is wrapped in a warm energy. Even though I'm really tired, my spirit is exceptionally good. Even the fatigue from not sleeping enough yesterday has disappeared."

Hearing this answer, Su Bai nodded to himself.

It seemed that the effects of Life Extension were subtle and gradual, not some kind of fantasy magic that instantly restored one's youth.

Zhou Jialu only felt more comfortable and energetic than usual because her entire heart and soul were immersed in her love for Su Bai and that ultimate pleasure. Furthermore, since she was already young, beautiful, and took excellent care of herself, the system's function of repairing cells and retaining youth didn't appear too abrupt in the short term.

This was exactly what Su Bai wanted. Moistening things silently without a sound—only this way would it avoid causing unnecessary panic and trouble.

"Maybe my techniques have just improved recently," Su Bai said half-jokingly.

"Tch, so full of yourself."

Zhou Jialu rolled her eyes at him, but she couldn't help planting a kiss on his chin.

"By the way."

Su Bai held her, his gaze resting on the ceiling as if asking casually. "Jialu, suppose... I mean, just suppose."

"Suppose in the future we have a way to make you never age, forever keeping this twenty-something appearance, forever staying by my side like you are today... what do you think of that?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Jialu's body stiffened slightly.

A woman's resistance to the concept of never aging was practically zero.

She tilted her head up, looking at Su Bai's serious profile, her eyes becoming incredibly gentle and affectionate.

"If there really was that kind of magic..."

Zhou Jialu stretched out her arms, tightly hugging Su Bai's neck, and pressed her face into the crook of his neck, her voice carrying a hint of choked emotion.

"Then that would of course be the best thing in the whole world."

"Because... life with my junior is so happy and joyful. Even if you gave me a whole lifetime, I'd still feel like it's never enough. If I could stay forever young and forever cling to you, then I would be the greediest woman in the world."

Hearing her genuine confession, Su Bai's heart softened completely.

He tightened his arms, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

"Rest assured, you greedy woman, your wish... will come true."

Moreover, it wasn't magic; it was reality.

...

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

This was the most important and grandest day of the year for Chinese people.

A day or two ago, Ke Yujia in the guest bedroom had finally recovered her strength. After experiencing the shyness of newly becoming a woman, a fascinating chemical reaction occurred in her relationship with Zhou Jialu.

Zhou Jialu acted like a big sister, unreservedly teaching this innocent little bunny all sorts of rules of survival beside a wealthy tycoon, even including some indescribable techniques. And Ke Yujia completely accepted her identity as a member of the harem, sweetly calling Zhou Jialu Sister with every breath.

The two women worked in perfect harmony, managing the villa in an orderly manner and filling it with a rich festive New Year atmosphere.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

Su Bai drove personally to pick up Auntie Jiang and brought her to the Yundi Villa.

When Auntie Jiang walked into this futuristic, minimalist mansion and saw the red lanterns hanging everywhere, along with Zhou Jialu and Ke Yujia wearing aprons and bustling about in the kitchen, the elderly woman was completely dumbfounded.

"This... Xiaobai, is this house yours? And this... who is this little girl?"

Auntie Jiang knew Zhou Jialu, but looking at the petite and cute Ke Yujia walking over with a plate of washed fruit, she couldn't quite wrap her head around it for a moment.

"Hello, Auntie! My name is Ke Yujia, you can just call me Yujia! I am Brother Su Bai's... employee, and also his kindergarten classmate!"

Keeping Zhou Jialu's teachings in mind, Ke Yujia bowed obediently, her voice overwhelmingly sweet.

"Auntie, come sit down! Yujia had some things going on at home these past few days, so she's celebrating the New Year with us. It's livelier with more people!" Zhou Jialu quickly came over as well, linking arms with Auntie Jiang and guiding her to the sofa.

Under the charming persuasion of the two stunning beauties, coupled with Su Bai's banter on the side, Auntie Jiang vaguely guessed that neither girl had an ordinary relationship with Su Bai. However, the elderly woman's mindset was simple—as long as Su Bai was doing well and had people to take care of him, she would be happier than anything else.

Not to mention, these two girls were exceedingly beautiful and incredibly sensible. They were simply wonderful daughters-in-law that would be hard to find even with a lantern!

The New Year's Eve dinner that night was exceptionally heartwarming.

Inside the massive, minimalist villa, the cold industrial style was replaced by an atmosphere full of laughter and the aroma of food.

At midnight.

The night sky of An City was illuminated by countless brilliant fireworks.

Su Bai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his left arm wrapped around the breathtakingly beautiful Zhou Jialu, and his right hand holding the soft and cute Ke Yujia. Behind them was Auntie Jiang, laughing endlessly while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Looking at the dazzling fireworks in the mortal realm outside the window, and feeling the two entirely different temperatures coming from his palms.

Su Bai felt completely satisfied.

...

The next day, the first day of the New Year.

The early morning air was crisp and refreshing.

After giving New Year's greetings to Auntie Jiang and leaving behind a hefty red envelope, Su Bai took Zhou Jialu and Ke Yujia and embarked on the journey back to Jiang City.

The black Land Rover Defender sped along the highway.

Ke Yujia, who had stayed up late the night before to welcome the New Year, was currently leaning against a pillow in the back seat to catch up on sleep. Meanwhile, Zhou Jialu, sitting in the passenger seat, was holding her phone, sending messages in a private little group chat that only consisted of the few women.

"Are we there yet? Yusheng said she's already turned the heating all the way up, and Xingya is clamoring to throw a welcome party for you," Zhou Jialu turned to look at Su Bai, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Almost, there's a hundred kilometers left."

Su Bai rested one hand on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed on the straight highway ahead, an expectant smile curving his lips.

He was going to take these two S-rank goddesses back to his private club, which had just finished its renovation and purification process and was finally ready for them to move into.
