394: He probably likes to join in the fun. Chen Xuan is speechless.

“Hmph, you, you’re just bullying me!” Bi Xiao stomped her tiny feet in a coquettish huff, her tender pink cheeks instantly turning as red as a ripe apple, looking incredibly adorable.

Her bright, watery eyes sparkled with grievance and displeasure, glaring directly at Chen Xuan.

“Hiss, you’re trying to kill me!” Chen Xuan’s eyes went wide.

“Then tell me, how am I bullying you?”

“You… Anyway, you just are, whatever I say goes!” Bi Xiao put her hands on her hips, her small mouth pouting high, looking completely justified.

However, her flushed cheeks and darting eyes betrayed her guilt.

“Oh, you bad woman! Let your husband teach you a lesson!”

“Hehehe, alright, stop messing around, I, I was just joking!” Seeing this, Bi Xiao quickly laughed and begged for mercy, retreating a few steps.

But Chen Xuan was not about to let her go, pressing closer step by step, quickly cornering her.

“Don’t tickle my armpits! Ugh! Not my feet either! My husband, I was wrong!” Bi Xiao was so scared her face lost all color, her laughter mixed with pleas echoing through the room.

“Too late!” Chen Xuan laughed loudly and reached out, and for a moment, the entire room was filled with laughter and the girl’s screams.

…

After Chen Xuan’s 'lesson,' Bi Xiao sincerely realized her mistake and stated that she would not repeat it.

“I truly owe you, my little troublemaker!”

“Hehe, you said it yourself, then I want you to owe me… for a lifetime!”

“…”

Regarding Nezha’s impending early arrival, the two were truly helpless and had no way to stop it; in the end, they could only let nature take its course.

Although Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit timid and fearful at the thought of facing Zhao Gongming in the future, he couldn't keep running away, could he?

“Oh, by the way, what kind of things does Great God Nezha like?” Chen Xuan suddenly asked.

“Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Bi Xiao asked back, looking puzzled.

“Sigh, guests from afar are always welcome. Since he’s come all this way tirelessly with you guys, it’s only right that I don’t neglect him, isn’t that the truth?”

Bi Xiao couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan again, and said with a hint of teasing, “That’s true, but then again, what good things can you prepare for him? Or rather, what does Nezha lack?”

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Facing his wife’s teasing gaze, he steeled his heart and gritted his teeth, quickly opened the System Mall, and then unhesitatingly redeemed a dazzling array of sparkling water.

“Oh, what are these things?” Looking at the pile of never-before-seen novelties in front of her, Bi Xiao couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously, then introduced them to her one by one: “This is called fruit sparkling water, it’s rich in various vitamins and trace elements, and has the effects of beautifying the skin, nourishing the complexion, and cooling down in summer. Of course, for Cultivators like us, it’s just for the taste.”

As he spoke, he took a bottle of fruit sparkling water from the shelf and handed it to Bi Xiao. Bi Xiao took the bottle, opened the cap, and a strong fruity aroma wafted out, making her Can't help it take a small sip.

“Hmm, it’s really good!” Bi Xiao’s eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise it.

“These are cream sparkling water, with a delicate and smooth taste, very popular with children.”

“This one is called coffee sparkling water, with a rich and mellow taste, suitable for friends who like coffee.”

“Coffee?”

“This is happy fat house water, the taste… is deeply loved by fat houses.”

“Fat house?” Bi Xiao’s beautiful eyes were full of confusion, making Chen Xuan’s index finger twitch. He took a sip of imported sparkling water to calm himself down.

…

Just like that, Chen Xuan led Bi Xiao to try various flavors of sparkling water one by one.

“How about it, this stuff isn’t bad, right?” Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

Bi Xiao nodded, and said with a satisfied expression, “Hmm, it’s really good, much better than I imagined.”

“That’s natural, don’t you see whose work it is.” Chen Xuan laughed proudly.

“Alright, don’t get carried away there.” Bi Xiao rolled her eyes at him, then continued to ask, “Are you really planning to entertain Nezha with just these sparkling waters?”

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, “Of course not. Although these sparkling waters taste good, Great God Nezha may not necessarily like them. We can’t just use these small trinkets to entertain him, can we?”

“Then how will you entertain him?”

“At least in my impression, this one might prefer… joining in on the fun!”

“Joining in on the fun?”

“Yes, every time there’s a major event in the Heavenly Court, although he’s not the first to rush into battle, he’ll also do his best to… mess things up for the Heavenly Court. If someone steals the pagoda, then…”

“Oh? I didn’t expect you to know so much! That monkey back then, and the monkey’s disciple, he contributed quite a lot!”

“I guess he’s just bored in the Heavenly Court on weekdays, and it’s bottling up!”

“Then how do you plan to let him join in on the fun? The small skirmishes in this Cultivation World won’t interest him!”

“I have my own brilliant plan for this!”

Chen Xuan said, then gave Bi Xiao another kiss before leaving.

“However, he did not go out into the outside world, but came to the Mortal Realm, the area where the little penguin is located.”

On this mysterious land, there was a Mortal kingdom that he had specially designated.

At this very moment, this kingdom was undergoing an unprecedented great transformation. Because this place was located in the Cultivation World, it had unique conditions. Under the guidance of the penguin, the people here miraculously skipped the Steam Age and the Electrical Age, directly entering the astonishing Spiritual Power Age!

Looking around, new inventions could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. The so-called Spiritual Power carts, requiring no human or animal power, could travel like the wind as long as a trace of Spiritual Qi was injected.

There was also the Spiritual Power saw… to put it bluntly, it was an electric saw, but its energy source was Spiritual Qi, and there were also things like Spiritual Power lamps, all sorts of miscellaneous items.

Even in terms of diet, all workers’ energy sources relied entirely on the absorption of Spirit Stones. Whether it was the physical strength consumed during work or the need for daily food, it could be satisfied by absorbing the Spiritual Power from Spirit Stones.

However, what they ate was still a bit different.

The penguin simply improved the small rice balls, attaching Spiritual Qi to them, making them thumb-sized. These things could then be directly swallowed by Mortals to nourish themselves, achieving the effect of abstaining from grains.

Of course, for Mortals, long-term consumption of it could not completely replace eating meals; prolonged periods without food would still lead to major physical problems.

However, although there had been reforms, it was still the Early Stage, and many things were still lacking.

For example, there was no advanced wireless communication equipment here, making long-distance real-time communication impossible. Although there were things like sound transmission stones, they ultimately lacked visuals, and Mortals wouldn't be able to operate them, which was not the penguin’s goal.

Also, while various furniture items were practical, they still appeared somewhat crude and simple compared to the convenient designs of modern society.

Of course, since the penguin had only been here for a very short time, just three years, it was normal that many things could not yet be accomplished.

“Oh, Big Brother, why are you here?”

Seeing Chen Xuan suddenly appear, Chen Teng was a bit surprised.

“Nothing much, just came to see how your development is going, and if you need my help or anything.”

“Oh, I certainly do!” Chen Teng looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes shining.

“You know, Big Brother, this group of people, although there are a few smart ones, the rest can only do manual labor and can’t do research and development. Plus, the Legacy in my mind is intermittent, and many things can’t quickly surface…”

“Tell me, what do you need.” Chen Xuan rubbed his temples.

“Satellites! I need a… no, I need five satellites now!”

“Now you’re talking nonsense, how do you even know about satellites! And how do you know I have them?”

“When I was still an egg, I could sense some miscellaneous things nearby, and among them, there were satellites!”

Chen Xuan’s expression was complex.

“Are you trying to build a modernized kingdom?”

“No, I just want games to appear, and then make a ton of money, exploit players, use game mechanics to make players unable to stop, want to die, be impotently furious, and yet still have to curse and continue playing!”

“Ah~~~”

“I can already imagine how good it will feel when people curse at me!” Chen Teng’s face was filled with ecstasy, letting out a comfortable groan.

“…”
