In the An family in Luoyang, Ouyang Lan pulled a girl and said, âLittle Ai, stay here for a few more days. Donât be in a rush to return.â
âThatâs not too good, right?â Xu Ai said hesitantly.
âWhatâs wrong with that? Your mother and I were childhood friends. If your mother hadnât gone so far away with her husband, I would have long taken you as my goddaughter. We are family, so you can rest assured and stay here. If you were to come to Luoyang and still stay outside, I really couldnât face meeting your mother,â Ouyang Lan said with a smile.
âSis Lan, I wonât stand on ceremony then,â Xu Ai said.
âChild, whatâs there to be polite with me? Stay here for now. When Little Wen returns, Iâll introduce you to him. You are about the same age, so you should have something in common,â Ouyang Lan said with a smile.
âIs Zhou Wen Uncle Lingfengâs son?â Xu Ai asked.
Ouyang Lan nodded. âAlthough heâs Lingfengâs son, his personality is completely different. Heâs just too shy...â
After Xu Ai left, Ouyang Lan asked An Sheng, who was beside her, âAh Sheng, what do you think of Little Ai and Little Wen? I think Little Ai is pretty good. Sheâs quite compatible with Little Wen.â
An Sheng thought for a moment and said, âMiss Xu is Old Master Xuâs daughter. The Xu family doesnât have a son and only has two daughters. I heard that Xu Ai is especially doted on by Old Master Xu. Will they let her marry out?â
âMadam Xu and I are childhood friends. They are worried about Xu Ai marrying off to someone elseâs family, but would they be worried about marrying into my family? You donât have to worry about that. Just tell me if you think they are suitable,â Ouyang Lan said.
âMiss Xu is knowledgeable, gentle, and virtuous. Sheâs also very smart, so sheâs naturally an excellent candidate,â An Sheng said.
Ouyang Lan glared at An Sheng. âWhy are you beating around the bush when youâre talking to me? Do you think thereâs something wrong with Xu Aiâs personality?â
An Sheng shook his head and said, âThatâs not it. I just think that Miss Xu is a little too smart. I wonder if she can get along easily with a simple-minded person like Young Master Wen.â
Ouyang Lan said with a smile, âYou donât understand. Itâs best to find a smart and scheming woman. With Little Wenâs straightforward personality, itâll be impossible for him to coax a woman. Itâll probably be very difficult to find a silly woman. However, for a smart and sensible woman like Xu Ai, as long as sheâs willing, she will think of a way to get Little Wen to coax her. Only then can they live on happily.â
âMadam, youâre right,â An Sheng echoed.
âWhen Little Wen comes back, let them meet first. I think Little Ai is quite a nice child.â Ouyang Lan thought for a moment and said, âWe should have someone there, right?â
âWe do,â An Sheng answered.
âThen let them investigate what hobbies Xu Ai usually has. It will also allow Little Wen to understand her better,â Ouyang Lan said.
âYes, Iâll do it now.â An Sheng naturally understood that what Ouyang Lan wanted him to investigate wasnât as simple as Xu Aiâs hobbies. Therefore, he didnât dare be negligent.
The next morning, Xu Ai went to Luoyangâs dimensional zone. Her personal female guard followed her.
âMiss, we have successfully entered the An family. Should we act according to plan?â the female guard whispered when they arrived at an uninhabited spot in the dimensional zone.
âDonât be anxious. Donât be fooled by Ouyang Lanâs appearance. She wonât believe us so easily. We canât rush this matter. Letâs stay in the An family for a while,â Xu Ai said.
âBut Ouyang Lan seems to be trying to matchmake you with that Zhou Wen. Thatâs not very nice, right?â the female guard said.
âThereâs nothing bad about it. If Iâm unwilling, Ouyang Lan canât force me, right? Besides, I want to meet Zhou Wen. I want to know what kind of person he is, considering he has caused so much trouble in the Federation alone,â Xu Ai said.
âItâs best to be careful. According to the information we obtained, the Xia family has suffered greatly because of him. The Cape family and the Family Clan of Gods seem to have suffered quite a blow because of him. Itâs best not to come into contact with such a person if possible to prevent your identity from being exposed,â the female guard said.
âDonât worry. It wonât be exposed. No one will expect that the Xu familyâs second daughter, Xu Ai, is the master of the Great Skyfiend, Uesugi Nao,â Xu Ai said indifferently.
âIn short, itâs better to be careful. After all, we arenât overseas. Also, Miss, you are now the Xu familyâs second daughter, Xu Ai. Donât mention the other name in the Federation,â the female guard reminded again.
âI know.â Xu Ai nodded and didnât say anything else.

As Zhou Wen traveled, he used his phone to explore Deer Terrace Pavilion. The space beneath Deer Terrace Pavilion was much bigger than he imagined. He encountered several Mythical creatures inside, but unfortunately, none of them dropped Companion Eggs.
He found quite a number of dimensional crystals, but not many could be used.
Now, Zhou Wenâs situation was rather awkward. He couldnât absorb the Mythical dimensional crystals, and even if he could, they were useless.
Epic crystals were no longer of much use to him, so despite having so many dimensional crystals, he actually didnât need much.
âSince I canât use it myself, you guys are lucking out.â Zhou Wen summoned his main Companion Beasts, such as Tyrant Behemoth, Demonic Neonate, and the like. He got them to choose crystals and eat whatever they wanted.
Zhou Wen planned on seeing if the crystals here would respawn the next time he came. If they could, he would really be rich.
Explosive Fiend Man and Doctor Darkness were very interested in some of the Essence Energy Skill Crystals, but Demonic Neonate remained the same. The Mystical crystals were unable to move her. She usually only ate the Longevity Fruits, and there werenât many of them left.
Tyrant Behemoth and Truth Listener werenât picky with food. As long as they could provide energy, they would directly swallow most crystals.
Zhou Wen constantly searched Deer Terrace Pavilion. Apart from searching for the treasures there, he also wanted to see if he could find The Thearchâs true body.
He refused to believe that The Thearch was that flower.
When Zhou Wen returned to Luoyang, he still couldnât find The Thearchâs true body under Deer Terrace Pavilion. The interior of Deer Terrace Pavilion was just too complicated. Zhou Wen had explored less than half of it.
According to the parts he had explored, Zhou Wen felt that there was definitely a Terror-grade existence inside Deer Terrace Pavilion. This was because he had already seen six Mythical dimensional creatures inside.
For dimensional zones like the Metalwork Temple, there was only one Mythical creature in the entire dimensional zone. Now, there were more than ten Mythical creatures found in the ancient buildings in Deer Terrace Pavilion. This was just too terrifying. It was definitely not something ordinary dimensional zones could compare with.
After returning to Luoyang, Zhou Wen planned on returning to school, but on the way, he suddenly saw a cube light up on the street. A Companion Beast had issued a challenge, so he took Yaâer to take a look.
âCoach, when did you return?â Just as Zhou Wen arrived near the cube, Feng Qiuyan, Sadie, and Gulli saw him. They waved as they squeezed over.
