Tonight.... OK

"Whew! I'm exhausted!"

Su Muwan walked out of a massive villa with a look of utter despair, as if all her energy had been drained.

Su Bailian had wanted to familiarize herself with the new home's layout (since the villa had been restructured due to ascension) and also check where Pochi's doghouse was. So, she had decided to stay behind for the time being.

Su Muwan rubbed her temples and muttered under her breath, "How are my parents so full of questions?"

"From the moment we stepped inside, they wouldn't stop talking! Asking about this and that, poking into everything!"

"Even my usually stoic dad had more to say than usual."

Qin Luo followed beside her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

In a gentle tone, he said, "Miss, let's go check on the progress of the new Holy Domain later."

"Ouyang Xuan sent me a message saying it's finished."

Wait, is that even relevant right now?

Su Muwan immediately turned her head to glare at Qin Luo, her voice laced with complaint, "And you're laughing! Why didn't you help me explain things earlier?"

"My parents grilled me until my head spun, and you just stood there playing mute."

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow and spread his hands in mock innocence. "Miss, your parents were asking about us. How could I possibly interrupt?"

"Besides, their questions weren't exactly bad, right?"

"Not bad?!"

Su Muwan's cheeks instantly flushed crimson. "They asked if we were really together! When we're getting married! How many kids we plan to have! How is that not bad?!"

"Ugh..."

She grabbed Qin Luo's hand and pressed it against her forehead. "Why does everyone seem to know about us now?"

"Are we really that obvious?"

Qin Luo blinked, watching Su Muwan's flustered and adorable expression.

Internally, he nodded.

The troubled young miss—utterly adorable, no matter what!

He deliberately leaned closer and lowered his voice. "So, Miss... when are we getting married?"

"You—!"

Su Muwan stomped her foot in embarrassment and raised a fist to smack him, but Qin Luo caught her wrist mid-air.

With a light tug, she tumbled into his arms.

"Qin Luo! Let me go!"

She struggled half-heartedly for a moment before giving up, though she continued grumbling, "You're such a jerk, always teasing me!"

"Miss, let's not jump to conclusions about who'll be teasing whom after marriage."

"More importantly..."

Qin Luo looked down at her, his gaze tender as he gently ruffled her hair. "Miss."

"I promise, as long as I'm here, you'll be happy."

At those words, Su Muwan lifted her head, her heart fluttering at the sincerity in his expression.

She blinked, then suddenly pinched his cheeks and put on a fierce act. "Hmph, you'd better keep your word! If you dare make me unhappy, I'll... I'll..."

"You'll what?" Qin Luo grinned.

Su Muwan thought for a second before flashing a mischievous smile, revealing a row of pearly whites. "I'll bite you to death!"

Qin Luo burst into laughter and tousled her hair. "Miss, can we negotiate a different punishment?"

"Like what?"

"Stomp me to death—preferably while wearing your thigh-high boots and sheer 0D stockings!"

Su Muwan froze. "Excuse me?"

Qin Luo clenched his fist, his expression dead serious. "First, the confined space would blend into a complex, intoxicating aroma!"

"Hey, hey, why are you suddenly explaining this?!"

"Then, as the boots slide off, revealing those flawless, slightly steamy feet—"

The more he imagined, the wider his grin grew.

"??"

Su Muwan stood there, utterly scandalized, her toes curling in her shoes.

What the—?!

What kind of shameless nonsense are you spouting?!

Wipe that outrageous look off your face!

Now you've got me thinking about your hands too!!!

That...

Hsss... sounds kinda amazing...

The two locked eyes, then simultaneously burst into laughter.

"Haha, just kidding! X2"

"......"

"Tonight?"

"OK."

......

......

As the evening sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in brilliant shades of red, the entire Holy Domain seemed bathed in a golden glow.

"Bro Luo, the signal towers are all set up! The Spirit Energy Network covers the whole Holy Domain now!"

Ouyang Xuan reported excitedly, holding a tablet. "Regular signal towers from our old world don’t work here at all."

"But by integrating the System with the spiritual energy of this realm, we’ve created a [Spirit Energy Network] that functions just like the old one—maybe even better."

"We’ve also detected new signals, likely from nearby Holy Domains. If they have similar networks, we could establish a fully interconnected system!"

Qin Luo took the tablet and swiped the screen, pulling up a 3D map of the Holy Domain dotted with glowing nodes.

He nodded in approval. "Good. Next step is connecting the terminal devices."

"Terminal devices?" Su Muwan leaned in curiously. "What’s that?"

"Basically, it lets everyone communicate, access information, and even conduct remote transactions through the Spirit Energy Network."

"You can have items instantly delivered right to you."

"Or... if you want to visit someone, just send a request. Once they approve, you can teleport straight to their location."

Qin Luo smirked. "Miss, you’ll never have to leave your house again. Snacks will just appear at your doorstep."

"Though, on second thought..."

He hesitated, watching Su Muwan’s eyes sparkle with growing excitement, and dragged his finger over the teleportation function. "This might make you even lazier... Maybe we should delete this featu—"

Slap!

Before he could finish, Su Muwan snatched the tablet away.

"Delete nothing! Don’t you dare hinder human progress!"

Her eyes gleamed as she swiped through the interface. "Ooooh!! Snacks! Soda! New game releases! Hehehe drool..."

Qin Luo sighed in amusement. "Miss, save the shopping spree for later. Let’s check out the new commercial district first."

"Woo!"

Nearby, Ouyang Xuan handed them a stack of black cards.

"Bro Luo, these are [Spirit Energy Cards] Li Mingyuan developed based on this realm’s rules."

"They convert assets from our old world into equivalent Spirit Energy for spending."

"It’s a currency system unique to our Holy Domain."

"There are many more functions and areas that we will work quickly to unlock. The Sacred Domain... is dozens of times larger than the world we were in before!"

Qin Luo picked up the black card and looked at the other person, saying, "Not bad, Xuan. I hereby appoint you as the Chief Steward of the Sacred Domain."

"Thank you, Luo... Huh...?"

Ouyang Xuan was about to express his gratitude but couldn't shake the feeling that the title sounded a bit odd.

When he looked up, Qin Luo and Su Muwan had already vanished without a trace.
