Let me explain, it's not what you think.

The two women moved much faster than Lu Chen had imagined.

Before he could even clean up the battlefield from last night, commotion came from outside the cave.

He pushed open the door and went out, and saw Yu Ning taking things out of her storage bag. Spirit stones were piled up into a small mountain, spirit soil was neatly stacked in jade boxes, and cultivation resources were arranged on the ground in different categories.

The most extravagant items were several pieces of top-grade spirit wood, each as thick as two people could hug, with a shimmering spiritual light on their surface, clearly indicating their immense value.

"What is this...?" Lu Chen opened his mouth.

"Ning'er has been saving this for several years." Yu Ning wiped the sweat from her forehead, her cheeks flushed, and her tone carried a hint of pride.

"I was planning to build a big house for Bao'er in the future, and now it's come in handy."

As she spoke, she took out a set of exquisite tea set, a set of writing implements, and several soft quilts from her storage bag. They were all made of the finest silkworm silk, and felt soft and smooth to the touch.

"These are all prepared by Ning'er for her senior brother." She lowered her head, but her toes were not visible.

Lu Chen didn't reply, but silently helped her gather her things together.

Not long after, another fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the horizon. Lu Chen looked up and almost lost his footing.

Jiang Huaiyu piloted a small flying boat, which was piled high with goods.

The most conspicuous feature is the small spiritual vein in the center of the flying boat, which is sealed by an array. Its spiritual light shines brightly, and you can feel the rich spiritual energy from a great distance.

Next to the spiritual vein were dozens of jade basins, filled with various spiritual plants, including common spiritual herbs and some rare varieties that Lu Chen couldn't name.

Several spirit beasts, spirit rabbits, spirit deer, and even a few spirit birds were also encircled at the stern of the flying boat, chirping and chattering.

"Senior sister, did you bring the entire Jiang family here?" Yu Ning's eyes widened.

Jiang Huaiyu jumped off the flying boat, patted her skirt, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Anyway, it's just sitting there."

She turned around and picked up a beautifully sculpted little girl from the flying boat. The girl was looking around with wide, round eyes.

The little girl looked to be about six years old. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled Jiang Huaiyu's. She was aloof yet charming. At this moment, she was biting her finger and curiously looking at Lu Chen.

"Uncle Lu!" Six-year-old Wang Ling'er knew Lu Chen.

"Ling'er, call him Daddy. From now on, he will be Ling'er's Daddy!" Jiang Huaiyu said softly.

The little girl blinked.

"Father Lu".

Lu Chen stood frozen in place, responding helplessly.

Jiang Huaiyu glanced at him, a smile curving her lips, and shoved her daughter into his arms.

The little girl was soft and cuddly, carrying the same orchid fragrance as Jiang Huaiyu, and she hugged his neck and giggled.

"Good girl." Lu Chen carefully supported her back, afraid that he might slip and drop her.

"Alright, stop standing there. I've made too much noise; Wang Feng will probably be here soon. Let's put the things away so he doesn't notice anything!"

"You even know you're making such a big fuss!"

Lu Chen complained, the magic patterns on the back of his hand glowing slightly.

He raised his hand and waved it, and dark purple light surged out again, enveloping everything, including Yu Ning and the two children.

A flash of inspiration struck, and the area in front of the cave was deserted, with only Lu Chen and Jiang Huaiyu remaining.

The two didn't say much, and Jiang Huaiyu even adjusted her demeanor, becoming aloof.

Not long after, Wang Feng arrived, accompanied by Zhang Fan.

"Junior Brother Lu, what's going on? Why is Huaiyu here in her flying boat?"

Lu Chen's expression was somewhat helpless.

"What business is it of yours that I'm here? We're already divorced, why are you meddling in my affairs? I've already told you, I'm very happy with my new man!" Jiang Huaiyu said coldly.

Wang Feng's face immediately darkened.

"Huaiyu, that man is tormenting you like this; he's not truly good to you! Wake up!"

"I'd love to! He'll treat my daughter very well, and I'm going to live with him from now on. I hope you won't bother me anymore!"

"Huaiyu, no one loves Ling'er more than me. I know it's all my fault, that you acted impulsively..."

Jiang Huaiyu didn't bother to look at Wang Feng again and left directly.

……

"Junior brother, what exactly happened? Why did Huaiyu come to see you before she left?"

Seeing Jiang Huaiyu's resolute attitude, Wang Feng became somewhat dejected.

"Sigh, my senior sister said that after so many years in the sect, she doesn't have many truly close friends. I'm the only one she's gotten a little familiar with because I often visit your house. That's why she came to say goodbye!"

Lu Chen spoke without batting an eye, repeating the words that Jiang Huaiyu and he had conspired to say.

That was indeed the case. Lu Chen was relatively poor, and Wang Feng helped him a lot, so he gradually became quite familiar with Jiang Huaiyu.

Although Lin Tian and Zhang Fan had a good relationship with Wang Feng, they did not interact as frequently as Lu Chen.

"Sigh!" Wang Feng sighed as he watched the departing flying boat.

Seeing Wang Feng like this, Zhang Fan also felt a little lost.

"Senior brother, I think... I'm starting to regret it! Yu Ning made a mistake, but ultimately she didn't do anything too outrageous or betray me..."

"Hmm, you've calmed down these past two days, so let's try to win Yu Ning back. We need to do it sooner rather than later, so you don't end up like your senior brother!"

Wang Feng shook his head and bid farewell to everyone, Zhang Fan followed him away.

Not long after, Jiang Huaiyu, now disguised, returned and entered the magic rune space with Lu Chen.

……

Inside the magic-patterned space, Lu Chen looked at the pile of belongings stacked like a small mountain and felt somewhat troubled.

"Where should we begin?"

Jiang Huaiyu, holding her daughter, looked around and pointed to the depths of the space: "Place the spiritual vein over there. Once the spiritual energy spreads, the entire space will benefit. Spiritual plants planted around the spiritual vein will grow well."

Yu Ning squatted on the ground, arranging the spirit wood pieces one by one: "Ning'er, let's build a frame first and then construct the house. What kind of house does Lu Lang like?"

"Me? Whatever, as long as there's a place to stay."

"That won't do. This is our home. How can we just leave it like this?" Yu Ning said coquettishly to Lu Chen.

Remembering Zhang Fan's words of regret, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and looked away.

Jiang Huaiyu put her daughter on the ground and let her run around and play by herself. Then she rolled up her sleeves and began to arrange the spiritual veins.

Yu Ning was also busy. Although she looked delicate, she was actually a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of her cultivation. The few pieces of spiritual wood in her hands were as light as straws.

Then, using his spiritual power to manipulate the structure remotely, he quickly built the skeleton of the house.

Lu Chen stood aside, the two women each had their own thoughts, and he couldn't get involved or know what to do.

He glanced at Jiang Huaiyu, then at Yu Ning, and finally squatted down, staring at his daughter.

"Father Lu, where did my original father go?"

"He has his own things to do, so Ling'er will stay with Father from now on."

It's true that Wang Feng drove the mother and daughter away, but it's best not to tell children about this kind of thing.

"Um!"

Jiang Huaiyu glanced back at the father and daughter, a slight smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.

Yu Ning worked quickly, and in less than half an hour, the outline of the house was complete. It had three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen.

When the building is expanded in the future, and when more people move in, they will have to bring their family assets with them!

Jiang Huaiyu planted the spiritual plants one by one and surrounded the house with them.

As for the spirit beasts they brought, they were all driven to the edge of the space.

Lu Chen, holding the little girl, also cast a spell to create a small fireball in the air above, with plenty of light, to imitate the sun.

"Lu Lang, from now on, this will be our home!"

Lu Chen didn't speak.

"We're still missing a name," Jiang Huaiyu suddenly said.

"What?"

"Our home needs a name."

Lu Chen remained silent for a while, looking at the small house in front of him, the two women beside him, and the little girl who was about to fall asleep in his arms.

"Let's call it... Shenyu Realm."

Yu Ning and Jiang Huaiyu were both stunned for a moment, then they laughed.

Chen and Yu—this was Lu Chen's first step in acknowledging them.
