lie low
Murong Wuque's mind kept running in circles as he stared at the wall.He was leaving. He really was.He always knew that the spaceship which he had worked so hard on had been completed. This was a moment he had long anticipated, one he had worked harder than anyone to bring to reality. He had spent countless days and nights preparing for this very moment, enduring setbacks, solving problems, and pouring resources into the project simply because returning home had once seemed like the only thing that mattered.So why was this heaviness in his chest threatening to squash him?Why did the thought of leaving no longer fill him with the joy he had expected?His gaze remained fixed on the wall, but his thoughts had already travelled far beyond the room.The Medicine Sage Valley needed him. His disciples and juniors were waiting for him to save them. There were people back in the celestial realm who were counting on his return, and with the war looming over Tian Luo, his presence would not m
Spaceship is ready to leave
Villa number seven, Alvin's room.The slight vibration of a ring on Murong Wuque's left index fingers had him opening his eyes.He had been sitting cross-legged, cultivating. The room was currently empty save for him and baby Aurelio.The faint spiritual energy circulating around his body gradually settled as he brought his cultivation to a stop. He remained still for another moment, his breathing slow and controlled, before finally opening his eyes fully.He uncrossed his legs and stood up, his eyes going to his own workstation at the opposite end of the room.The workstation was neat and orderly, with nothing out of place. Murong Wuque preferred things that way. There was comfort in knowing where everything was, especially in a place where too many things had begun slipping beyond his control.He unlocked a metal drawer and brought out a customized phone. He tapped on a few buttons and a call finally came through. He swiped on ‘answer’.“First brother…” It was Qin Li at the other en
Familiar faces, unexpected knives
Alvin’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening slightly. “He went to school!” Elena suddenly blurted out. Alvin slowly looked up at her. His eyes settled on her face. She appeared slightly nervous. School? Hadn’t he received a newsletter from the university authorities stating that the semester was over and the students would be going on a short break? Had Elena forgotten that he was Oliver’s sponsor and received regular updates from his school? Why was she lying to him? Had she been deceived as well? Or could there be something deeper going on? His tongue dragged slowly against his molar as he carefully turned the possibilities over in his mind. When Murong Wuque had stripped Elena of her access to confidential documents, restricted her access to certain websites and official seals, and relieved her of some of her duties, leaving her to focus primarily on Empire Group, Alvin had thought Wuque was being excessive. He had considered it an unnecessary complication—making things mo
Nagging suspicion
Once Alvin was done with his bath, he dressed in his pajamas and headed downstairs. Murong Wuque was still sitting cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating. “Young master,” Martha called out the moment he reached the corridor. Leah, who was dressed to go out, turned around alongside Tiffany and Elena. “Brother…” She quickly stood up and rushed toward him, a hint of anxiety visible on her face. Alvin offered her a small smile. “What’s wrong?” Leah took his hands in hers and looked up at him, scanning his body for any signs of injury. “Are you alright?” She turned him around, checking his back and neck. “You didn’t return on time yesterday. Do you know how worried I was?” Tiffany and Elena stood up and gave him a slight bow. “Good morning, boss.” He nodded and gave them a playful wave before turning back to Leah. He flicked her forehead lightly. “Silly girl. What could possibly happen to me?” Leah stared at him, a hint of suspicion in her eyes. She still didn't seem completely
Back like a dream
There was no answer. Murong Wuque's eyes remained closed. Alvin carefully carried Aurelio away and wore the bottle around Murong Wuque's neck. Murong Wuque frowned in his sleep, causing Alvin's heart to skip multiple beats. He couldn't help but notice how handsome this prince of his was. A small smile appeared on his face. As Alvin's palm reached out to touch Murong Wuque, he (Wuque) suddenly turned and reached for Aurelio. Alvin's eyes went wide with shock. Even in his subconscious, he wasn't letting anyone take the kid away. He grabbed the kid back and tucked him into his arm. The tousling and jostling woke Aurelio and his lids drifted open. But on smelling Murong Wuque's scent, he closed his eyes and promptly went back to sleep. Alvin stared, dumbfounded. When did they get so attached? “Wuque, you need to return him. Otherwise, he will absorb some of your life force.” He tried to take Aurelio again. This time, a powerful hand clasped around his wrist, stopping him from
Why help me?
Another thirty minutes passed. Murong Wuque had done everything he could think of, but Alvin didn't wake up. Left with no other option, he bathed him and carried him back inside. Once he was safely on the bed, Murong Wuque brought out a necklace whose pendant was a bottle filled with his own life essence and spiritual power. It would drain his life force and cultivation. But at this point, to wake Alvin up, he needed to use his own body to replenish what Alvin lost. A warm glow radiated from the pendant atop Alvin's chest, and slowly the warm glow spread to encase every part of his body. Slowly, he began to recover. With each shade of color that returns to Alvin's face, Murong Wuque got paler. Once he was sure Alvin had stabilised, he turned to return to the bathroom. Aurelio who had sat up and was looking around immediately saw him and burst into tears, trying to grab the cot and move closer. Murong Wuque, who was about to walk past, paused and looked at the child. “Papa i
