Yet none of them expected the doorbell to ring the moment they stepped inside.
Gu Yu walked to the door and peeked through the peephole, only to find an unexpected visitor.
Indeed, it was none other than Chi Mu—who was supposed to be growing mushrooms in the Canglan Divine Realm.
"Bro, it's Chi Mu outside. Should we let him in?"
Gu Yu still had a favorable impression of Chi Mu, but things were complicated since Chi Mu had once had feelings for Liu Sisi.
Might as well call it a "green hat reunion."
"Let him in, whatever," Little Wei said indifferently.
Gu Yu noticed Si's shoulders stiffen slightly.
Great. The dynamics just got even messier.
Was it the brother’s jealousy or the sister-in-law’s?
Gu Yu couldn’t quite grasp it, but he was thoroughly baffled.
Chi Mu quickly stepped inside and spotted Gu Shengsheng stacking Legos on the floor. He immediately scooped her up. Though Gu Shengsheng had never met Chi Mu before, she didn’t cry or fuss—just stared at him with her big, grape-like black eyes.
Chi Mu weighed the little one in his arms and grinned approvingly.
"You guys raised my daughter pretty well."
Little Wei: ?
"Are you okay? If you’re fine, go eat some liuliumei, will you?"
Back then, Little Wei had struggled to accept Gu Shengsheng’s existence, but it didn’t matter anymore—Shengsheng was just too adorable, far more well-behaved and sweet than that sour, stinky radish. She rarely ever threw tantrums.
Still, she never expected Chi Mu to have the audacity to claim her child as his own.
Chi Mu chuckled. "Just kidding. Since I don’t have one, why not give me yours?"
Little Wei promptly kicked him. Despite his divine status—marked by a water sigil on his forehead and draped in an ornate blue robe embroidered with gold thread, looking every bit the refined, immortal noble—he still came off as a pretentious fool.
Little Wei glanced down at her own shorts.
Ugh, was she some village bumpkin?
She couldn’t take it anymore.
"Can you take off your clothes?" Little Wei demanded.
Gu Yu: ?
Wait, was this really happening?
His sister-in-law was right there chopping vegetables. He never imagined his own brother could be this desperate—so starved he’d go for anyone.
Gu Yu covered his eyes, too mortified to look.
Even Chi Mu froze on the spot.
"You’re joking, right?"
Little Wei: ?
"Do I look like someone who jokes about this?" Little Wei was utterly done.
Did she seem like the humorous type to him?
Chi Mu: …
"This isn’t appropriate. Everyone’s watching," Chi Mu suddenly felt self-conscious.
Even as a man, he had his pride. Si was in the kitchen, Gu Yu was nearby, and there were two little girls—Little Nailuo and Gu Shengsheng—around. What if they secretly filmed this?
The Void Realm had internet, and he really didn’t want to end up trending.
Little Wei took a long moment to process Chi Mu’s implication.
Her reaction: ???
What the hell was this?
She just hated his flashy outfit, that’s all.
She didn’t have it, and she was jealous. Ugh.
"What I meant was, next time, there’s no need to dress so extravagantly," Little Wei said, gesturing at his outfit.
Chi Mu finally understood and nodded.
"Honestly, it’s just because I came straight from a meeting. We divided responsibilities—each of us will oversee the Canglan Continent for fifty years, then extend it to a hundred or more later. I got lucky and drew fourth place, so I can stay in the Void Realm for 150 years this time."
As he spoke, Chi Mu set the little girl down and rummaged through his robe before pulling out a thick red envelope.
"Here, consider it a gift from your big brother," he said with a grin.
Gu Yu: …
Even the usually stern Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
"You’ve got no shame calling yourself ‘big brother.’ How old are you?" Gu Yu suspected this guy was doing it on purpose.
"True, I wouldn’t even claim him as a son," Little Wei agreed with a nod.
Chi Mu: …
"Whatever, let’s not argue. I’ll help Si cook instead," Chi Mu said, trying to squeeze into the kitchen, only to be shooed out by Si.
"Stay over there. If you’ve got time, take care of Little Nailuo later."
Soon, she and Little Wei would be busy learning to manage the company under Ye Jin’s guidance, leaving no time for Little Nailuo.
As for the Phantom Light Tiger, it had been tossed into a brutal mini-world by Ye Jin a few days ago to toughen up. They just hoped it’d survive.
"Huh? Babysit a little system?" Chi Mu turned to look at Little Nailuo.
They weren’t exactly strangers, but…
"Wait, I’m staying here now, not gallivanting around mini-worlds like before," Chi Mu realized they were probably just dumping Little Nailuo on him because they couldn’t be bothered.
How heartless was that?
"Oh, right," Si glanced at Little Nailuo.
The problem was, Little Nailuo’s current state made it hard for her to break into the top-ten system rankings. While systems outside the top ten lacked human forms, they were otherwise flawless.
To climb the ranks, she needed to grind quietly.
"Fine, then just drop by often to guide her cultivation."
As an AI, Little Nailuo was unbeatable in calculations, but her cultivation was seriously lacking.
Then again, it made sense—her previous company had been downright awful.
"Easy enough. Sure," Chi Mu ruffled Gu Shengsheng’s hair.
What a cute kid.
Too bad she wasn’t his.
If Little Wei weren’t a goddess now, he’d have snatched the kid and bolted.
The company’s tech could always help them make another one, anyway.
Though Little Wei might lose her temper over it.
"Good. Radish, listen up—study hard. Flunk your exams, and it’s off to the factory for you," Little Wei said while peeling an orange.
Little Nailuo: ?
"I’d rather deliver takeout. At least that pays better," Little Nailuo grumbled.
She was way too young to be sent to a factory!
These ruthless capitalists wouldn’t stop until they’d sucked her dry. The thought alone made her eyes well up.
"Alright, enough teasing. Gu Yu, come help serve the dishes. Dinner’s ready," Si called out.
Chi Mu hurried to assist as well.
With such a rare, lively gathering, Si even cracked open a case of beer, filling everyone’s glasses to the brim.
Of course, Gu Shengsheng and Little Nailuo got milk instead.
Chi Mu raised his glass, his eyes sparkling like frost under moonlight.
"Cheers!"
