Five days later,

Through the transparent vision brought by the array, Bexia watched as Omset City quickly shrank in his eyes, eventually disappearing. At this moment, he was already aboard a void battleship bound for the Blofa world in the Great Void level.

This was a long journey. It would take a whole year of traveling through the cosmic void to reach the Blofa world from here, and even then, it was difficult to qualify to board the battleship, something that money alone couldn't necessarily buy.

Being able to board the battleship was largely thanks to Christine, whose status as a Saint allowed the owner of this battleship to strike a deal with her – in case Christine needed to intervene halfway due to any trouble, the owner of the battleship would provide a certain reward and the opportunity to travel for free on the battleship.

Hence, Bexia and the others were treated as esteemed guests and were accommodated in the best rooms.

In fact, there were four individuals of Saint level on the battleship, including the three accompanying Christine to the Blofa world, and one of them was the owner of the battleship!

Traveling through dimensions was actually quite boring. The cosmic void was almost constantly covered in unchanging black scenery, and with the battleship's swift speed, there was not much to see outside.

Moreover, the battleship often engaged in space jumps, making it impossible to venture outside.

The first few days were alright as the group still found ways to entertain themselves, but the options for activities on the battleship were limited, and it was inevitable to grow tired of them after a while.

Even Bexia, who initially found it quite boring, started to feel restless when he actually had some idle time.

However, Luo Cailing, who knew how to have fun, wasn't discouraged by the monotony. After a few days of boredom, she managed to acquire several log-in devices for virtual network worlds and casually announced to the group that she would take them to the Shadow World to fight bosses.

Though it was all for fun, Bexia also thought that he might join in this time. Even though he was already at the maximum level and couldn't experience leveling up, the virtual network world was bound to be more interesting than the outside world.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Just as Bexia was contemplating, Little Higanbana pushed open the door and flew in quickly, tears in her eyes as she looked at Bexia mournfully.

Seeing the appearance of his daughter, Bexia reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes, asking involuntarily, "What's wrong? Who bullied my Little Higanbana?"

"Sniffles~! We were defeated by a big boss. That big wild boar was so fierce, it immediately killed Higanbana. Daddy, you have to avenge me!"

"Okay, okay! How do you want Daddy to avenge you?" Bexia's gaze shifted to the cat ears peeking out from under the door – it was definitely Beibei, with no doubt, and the eavesdropping instruction was surely from Luo Cailing.

So to sum it up, Little Higanbana coming over in tears must have been orchestrated by Luo Cailing.

"Sister A-Ling said, if you want to become strong, you have to spend money. The more you spend, the stronger you will become, and then you can defeat any boss!" Little Higanbana lifted her head and said.

"Of course…" Bexia shook his head helplessly, picked up Little Higanbana and placed her on his shoulder like a doll, then walked towards the door. Beibei still hadn't retracted her ears and Bexia lifted her up with one hand.

"Master, meow! Beibei wasn't eavesdropping, meow~!" Panicked Beibei looked at Bexia with a nervous expression, flailing like a drowning person.

"What is Beibei playing in the game?"

"Beibei is playing... Beibei is not playing anything, meow~!" She was about to speak subconsciously, but remembered Luo Cailing's warning and immediately changed her answer.

"A child who lies will have no fish to eat."

"Meow! Beibei is playing as a warrior, meow~!"

"What is Xiaobi'an Hua playing?"

"Xiaobi'an Hua is playing as a mage, meow~!"

"What about Aling and Xian?"

"Aling and Xian are also playing as mages, meow~!"

Under Bexia's "threat," Beibei quickly confessed everything.

"Master, Beibei told the truth, will there still be fish to eat, meow~!"

"Of course! Honest children will still have fish to eat!"

"Meow~!" Beibei suddenly became happy again and let out a joyful meow.

"Xiaobi'an Hua, you go back first. Later, dad will avenge you with his friends. As for spending money, that's impossible. Let Aling give up on that idea!" Bexia put down the two little ones and said.

Back in the room, Bexia immediately logged into the virtual network world. Upon opening his eyes, he saw Nowel, who he hadn't seen in a long time, flying in the sky. When Nowel saw Bexia open his eyes, she joyfully exclaimed.

"Master, you're awake!" Nowel handed a cup of "water" to Bexia.

"Has Nowel been watching over me all this time?" Subconsciously taking the cup and having a sip, recognizing the familiar taste, Bexia realized he had just drunk a cup of "bathwater." Feeling the taste in his mouth, Bexia looked at Nowel, feeling an urge to put her in his mouth to taste.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

"Yes!" Nowel nodded with a smile, for her, being able to accompany Bexia was the happiest thing.

"...You've worked hard!" Bexia didn't know what else to say, so he could only use these conventional words.

"Master, are you hungry now that you've woken up?" Nowel asked.

"No, I'll take you out for a walk okay?" Bexia shook his head, opened the message prompt, it was a friend request from Xiaobi'an Hua.

"Of course! Wherever the master goes, I will go." Nowel happily twirled in mid-air.

"Later, I'll introduce you to a few friends. You are older than them, so take good care of them, okay?"

"No problem, master!" Nowel assured.

"Let's see where they are..." Bexia accepted Xiaobi'an Hua's request and checked her location. Although it was far away, it was no problem for him. He felt incredibly powerful in the virtual network world.

With a single thought, a magic circle lit up under Bexia's feet. A few seconds later, he disappeared with Nowel, reappearing in front of four astonished little ones.

Bexia looked over the four little ones, all dressed in newbie clothes. Three held staffs like dried branches, while one carried a simple iron sword. Luo Cailing, Luo Ningxian, and Beibei had not changed much, but Xiaobi'an Hua was no longer doll-sized like in the outside world; she now appeared as a small, cute girl just like the others.

"Dad!" Little Spider Lily saw Bexia and immediately pounced on him, but because she had lost her flying ability, she couldn't quite reach Bexia's arms. Fortunately, Bexia reached out and lifted her up.

"Master actually has children now!" Nowel on Bexia's shoulder looked surprised as he gazed at the four little girls.

"Wei'er, come back too! Get to know them, you'll be good friends in the future!" Bexia spoke, apparently ignoring Nowel's words.

He had a child made of fur! At most, Little Spider Lily could be considered his daughter, and the remaining three were from other families.

But hey, let's just count Beibei as half, shall we!
