Liya's Misunderstanding

The orphanage was scheduled for reconstruction, fully funded by the Pingshan District government.

Funds that were impossible to secure through normal applications now poured in as if in a rush. After all, no one wanted to offend such a young, official transcendent.

Today you might try to choke him. Tomorrow he might slaughter your whole family.

This was no joke; once one became a transcendent, they no longer remained in the mortal sphere. Transcendent lawbreakers were not judged by the same standards as commoners; only after causing severe social impact and undergoing repeated reviews would their cases even be considered for handling.

Gifts and cash were also delivered.

Bai Xiaodu sought Director-General Shen's opinion and accepted gifts from Deputy District Chief Li, Director Chen, the minotaur boss, Katemor, and the owners of the nightclubs where he used to work. He politely declined everyone else's offerings.

Of course, they couldn't provide anything that would aid Bai Xiaodu's cultivation anyway. Most were carports and luxury goods in Pingshan District, which Bai Xiaodu asked them to convert into cash. In the end, counting the bank cards in his hand, he now had roughly four million Federation Credits.

Honestly, the moment Bai Xiaodu received the money, he felt an impulse to simply stay in Pingshan District and retire.

But he quickly splashed cold water on his face and calmed down. Transcendent lifespans were extended by one or two hundred years, but they weren't infinite. He had just passed the Federation's adult age, and his path of cultivation was still long.

If transcendents couldn't achieve immortality, what about the next level? If the next level couldn't, then what about the level after that?

Moreover, the world was not peaceful. That guy Arad could even infiltrate Federation territory to ambush him. It was hard to guarantee that future threats would be from enemies of a lower rank.

Bai Xiaodu absolutely refused to show the ugly struggle of a weakling. He used to be one, but now that he was a transcendent, he no longer was!

Bai Xiaodu had made up his mind. He wanted not only to achieve eternal life but also to bring those he loved with him to eternal life. First, his eternal life would lead to theirs!

With surging passion and boiling blood, Bai Xiaodu decisively made a call.

“Sister Xin Hai'an, Xiaobai misses you.”

...

Before making the call, Bai Xiaodu had already brainstormed a ton of comforting and pitiful lines. He himself couldn't bear to watch the video Director-General Shen had played that day.

Actually, he just wasn't in the right state at the time, which was why Director-General Shen had gotten the upper hand. He had helped his brother out, so she should understand.

But overall, it was hard to imagine the shock and hurt that scene must have caused the traditional-minded Xin Hai'an.

To his surprise, Xin Hai'an only replied, “Let's go together, just you and me, today.”

Bai Xiaodu immediately realized this might be his last chance to successfully escape.

The sun was bright, and the breeze was gentle.

He left Grandma a million credits, then secretly locked Director-General Shen's necklace in his room with three extra locks. He took his small bag, which contained a change of clothes and toiletries.

Paying the taxi driver to speed up and getting off at the station was a seamless process. Xin Hai'an, dressed in a simple black tracksuit, was already waiting for him, arms crossed.

Bai Xiaodu threw his belongings into the car, then leaped onto the back seat and lay down. Liya was driving in the front, but Xin Hai'an didn't sit in the passenger seat.

Instead, she also sat in the back, gently resting Bai Xiaodu's head on her lap and ruffling his slightly messy silver-white short hair. Xin Hai'an carefully examined his face.

She couldn't resist leaning down and gently rubbing her face against his. Bai Xiaodu simply closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of the lap pillow.

The increase in all attributes naturally included Charm. Bai Xiaodu's looks were already excellent, and he had previously added another Charm attribute point. Now, his appearance was completely on par with Xin Hai'an's, and his temperament even surpassed hers.

In fact, depending on personal preferences, some might even think, Oh, there's a younger, fresher one.

“Xiaobai is even cuter now.”

Xin Hai'an's hands began to rub his silver fox ears. Taking advantage of her distraction, Bai Xiaodu swiftly flipped over, pressing his face directly against her soft lower abdomen and gently rubbing.

Due to physiological structure, and to protect the uterus and internal organs, the pubic area has a slightly protruding soft abdomen. This area tends to accumulate fat easily and can feel somewhat prominent even when lying flat, but upon closer inspection, it possesses a beautiful curve. It was very soft and gently bounced back.

“Xiaobai!”

Xin Hai'an naturally realized what he was doing. Her face quickly flushed, and she called out Bai Xiaodu's name, but she didn't stop him; she just held him tightly. From her slightly trembling body, it was clear she was enjoying it too.

It was truly a harmonious scene of a young couple.

Of course, Liya, who was driving upfront, didn't see it that way.

From the perspective of the two in the back seat, it was merely rubbing and hugging.

But Liya, driving on a stable road, quickly took a gulp from her water bottle. She inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror.

Xin Hai'an in the back seat had a slightly flushed face, was breathing softly, and was uncomfortably rubbing her clasped thighs. Bai Xiaodu's head was turned away from the mirror, facing...

Liya: “?”

“Cough, cough, cough!!!”

A large mouthful of water was suddenly spat out. Liya was nearly taken out by a bottle of cold water. Amazing, truly amazing, and this is in the car! Liya couldn't even imagine what would happen when the passionate pair got onto the spaceship.

“What's wrong? Did something happen?”

Xin Hai'an asked from the back seat, and Liya quickly waved her hands. “Nothing, nothing! I drank too fast and choked, haha... You two should also be careful when drinking.”

“Oh, then focus on driving,” Xin Hai'an added, as if remembering something. “Don't look around.”

Liya didn't even turn her head, just nodded frantically. How could I dare to look around?

Ignoring this little interlude, Bai Xiaodu felt the leg he was resting on tremble quite a bit. Knowing that continuing like this might lead to some minor-to-moderate trouble, Bai Xiaodu returned to lying flat.

He then asked Xin Hai'an, “Where are we going now?”

Xin Hai'an took a few soft breaths, seeming a little reluctant to stop.

“To the Tiannan Star Sector. I'm taking you to university. After you became a transcendent, I helped you enroll.”

Bai Xiaodu's ears perked up instantly.

“That's great!”

“But my theoretical knowledge is very poor right now. Can I catch up before the official assessment?”

Xin Hai'an smiled. “You are a Transcendent of the Spellcasting Pathway, so don't worry. Even if you fail the theoretical exam, the admissions office will have to turn a blind eye and pass you.”

The world was a giant political correctness. Transcendent of the Emperor Pathway and Transcendent of the Mage Emperor Pathway were the undisputed mainstays of the Federation. It was so serious that there were annual quotas, and if they weren't met, there would be accountability.
