As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Pretty much. I'll need to buy a few dresses, casual clothes, sportswear, and the like." Theresa put her hand on her chin, thinking for a moment. "But... I don't really know how to choose clothes. My grandfather used to help me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled. "It's alright, we have Mei. After all, she's the only one here who truly knows how to coordinate outfits."

Turning his gaze to Mei, Chen Yuan patted her on the shoulder. "Please, Mei. Our fashion sense is really terrible, so we're leaving it all to you!"

“Since Mr. Chenyuan has said so, then I will do my best.” She turned to Kiana and Bronya, “Kiana, Bronya, do you have a particular style or color you would like?”

"Hmm..." Kiana thought for a moment, "I think pink and purple are both pretty nice, preferably sporty styles for easy movement."

"Pink...purple..." Chen Yuan looked at Kiana with a slightly speechless expression. The image of Kiana wearing a brightly colored floral dress flashed through his mind. He immediately shook his head, banishing the image from his mind. To be honest, it was a bit of an eyesore...

It's not that it's ugly, it's just that the overall vibe doesn't quite match, making it look a bit odd.

"I shouldn't have asked you, Mei. You don't need to listen to Kiana. Pick out her clothes yourself." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly, then turned to Bronya, "And you, Bronya, do you have any special requests?"

Bronya thought about it seriously and said, "Bronya likes simple designs, black and white color schemes, and it would be best if it had a bit of a technological feel to it."

"Hmm, simple design, black and white color scheme, futuristic feel, I've got it." Raiden Mei nodded, and after thinking for a while, she seemed to have some ideas. "Then let's go to the clothing store and take a look."

The group entered a clothing store with exquisite decor and soft lighting. The sales clerks' eyes lit up when they saw the group of beautiful young women walk in.

Everyone loves beauty. The salesperson swore that in all her years of selling clothes, she had never seen such a lovely girl. Even if she didn't buy a single item, just trying on a few clothes would make her completely satisfied.

"Thank you, we'll just look around ourselves." After politely declining the salesperson's offer, Raiden Mei walked around the store for a while and then came out with several dresses and casual wear in her hands.

“These styles are all very nice, and they would suit Kiana and Bronya quite well. You can try them on.” He handed the clothes to Kiana and Bronya. “Mr. Chenyuan, what do you think?”

"Don't ask me, I think all clothes look the same." He casually sat down on a chair and then said, "You guys decide for yourselves. After all, with your looks and temperament, you'll look good in anything."

"You don't need to ask me. My wardrobe is mostly filled with dresses and the like. I don't know much about casual wear."

When Theresa saw that Raiden Mei was looking at her, she quickly waved her hand, then sat down next to Chen Yuan like he did, pressing herself against him.

Chen Yuan was caught off guard by Theresa's sudden action and instinctively turned slightly to adjust his position so that Theresa would be more comfortable. "Theresa, what are you doing? Don't lie on top of me."

Theresa didn't seem to care, and instead said with a grin, "Heh heh, you've got nothing to do anyway, so just be my cushion."

Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to Raiden Mei. "Mei, don't worry about them for now. Pick out a few clothes that you like to wear."

“I understand, Mr. Chenyuan.” Raiden Mei’s eyes flashed with envy as she looked at Theresa, who was acting coquettishly in front of Chenyuan. She shook her head and then started picking out clothes again.

Meanwhile, in the café across from the clothing store, Gray Snake, now in a different body, sat on the side, calmly watching everything happening inside the store through his prosthetic eye. A short while later, a 'girl' walked up to him, her expression showing a hint of urgency.

"Long time no see, Lord Hua. I'm sorry to bother you at this moment." Upon seeing the 'girl' appear, Gray Serpent stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Forget all that, Gray Serpent. What's the deal with this audio?" The 'girl' was none other than Fu Hua! There's a saying that goes, "An immortal touches my head, I laugh as the immortal is at peace..."

Getting back to the point, Fu Hua took out her terminal and dialed a channel called 'Golden Courtyard Loving Family'. "Grey Snake, if this is just a trick to get me here, I'll definitely tear you apart!"

To be honest, Fu Hua didn't have a very good impression of Grey Serpent. In fact, Grey Serpent didn't get along well with anyone in the World Serpents except for Mebius.

It's all because this guy always mentions that Chen Yuan is his father. In the World Serpent, apart from Fu Hua and Mebius, as long as those women briefly awaken, any Gray Serpent that dares to say such a thing will only end up being torn apart.

Of course, it wasn't that Fu Hua condoned the nickname "Grey Snake"; she simply had a good temper and didn't want to be called the same.

"As expected of Father's apprentice, his temperament is exactly the same as Father's." Hearing those familiar words again, Gray Serpent smiled and shook his head, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the clothing store across the street. "Master Hua, please look over there."

Fu Hua followed the gray snake's finger and saw Chen Yuan's profile. She froze on the spot, tears streaming down her cheeks. She placed her hand on the glass, speechless for a long time.

After a while, seeing that Fu Hua was still in a daze, Gray Serpent coughed twice, pulling her back from her reverie. "Well, Master Hua, I didn't lie. Father is indeed there."

"I'm going to find him..." Fu Hua couldn't care less about anything else; all she could see now was the man with a faint smile on his face in the clothing store.

"Lord Hua, my father, like us, has no memory of the previous civilization." Upon seeing this, the gray snake stopped Fu Hua in her tracks with just a few words.

"It's even more blank than we know. If all the lords still have feelings for Father, Father only knows us."

“You’ve already heard the audio, and you should know that I’m not lying. Even my mother, Dr. Möbius, and my father didn’t show any emotional fluctuation.”

Hearing Gray Serpent's words, Fu Hua felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, and her face instantly turned pale. She lowered her head, and her eyes, hidden behind her long eyelashes, were filled with nothing but pain.

Fu Hua had just acted impulsively. After calming down and thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as Gray Snake had said. She slumped into her seat, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Gray Serpent sighed softly, then said, "Lord Hua, I understand your feelings. But that's the truth. Father... his memory of us is probably less vivid than his memory of our names."

“Everything is just like what Dr. Möbius studied, a spacetime paradox…” Fu Hua’s eyes flickered. Although she had expected it before, the thought that Chen Yuan no longer had any feelings for them still made her heart feel cold.

"Therefore, Lord Hua, if you wish to continue staying by Father's side, you should control your emotions and try not to do anything unnecessary."

"My mission is complete, Master Hua. Please excuse me for leaving now." With that, Gray Serpent stood up, bowed, and left the coffee shop.

"Hold Hua steady, wait until I'm fully awake." After entering a small alley, Gray Serpent took out his terminal and switched to a channel. Looking at the last contact, the latter's prosthetic eye flashed. "Mother, mission complete!"

Meanwhile, inside the clothing store, Chen Yuan sat on the sofa, resting his chin on his hands, his eyes fixed on the direction of the fitting room.

After a while, the fitting room door opened, and Bronya came out first, wearing a black, white and blue casual outfit that looked very high-tech.

Kiana was wearing a green and black tracksuit, with black shorts accented with pink, looking very energetic.

Chen Yuan looked at the two of them and his eyes lit up. He smiled slightly and said, "You two look really good in these outfits, quite beautiful!" He stood up from the sofa, walked over to Bronya and Kiana, and carefully examined their clothes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Chenyuan!" Bronya gave a blank "V" sign and said softly, "This outfit fits me quite well, Bronya likes it very much!"

Kiana then twirled around triumphantly, showing off her new outfit: "Hehe, I knew it! Sportswear suits me best! How about it? Doesn't it look energetic?"

After saying that, she skipped and hopped to the mirror to admire her new clothes. "As expected of Mei who picked these out for me, they're so beautiful!!"

"Speaking of Mei, hasn't she picked out her clothes yet?" Chen Yuan had barely finished speaking when Raiden Mei slowly walked over, her every step drawing everyone's attention. Even Chen Yuan was somewhat stunned. In a word, beautiful!

She wore a pristine white long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like falling snowflakes. Her upper body was clad in a simple light purple shirt, with a pale blue silk scarf tied at the collar, adding a touch of elegance to the overall look.

Combined with Raiden Mei's own temperament, she is like a celestial being descended to earth; just looking at her is enough to heal one's soul.

As Chen Yuan watched Raiden Mei slowly approach, he couldn't help but admire her. Her ethereal beauty was captivating.

"Mei...you look so beautiful in this outfit!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Raiden Mei's attire. "I want to wear something like this from now on!"

Raiden Mei smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you for the compliments. I also think this outfit suits me very well."

“If you like them, I’ll take all of these clothes.” Chen Yuan nodded, then turned to Theresa. “Theresa, are you sure you don’t want a few? We finally got out here.”

Theresa sat up from Chen Yuan, rubbed her eyes, and said lazily, "Why would I pick out clothes? The hangers are almost overflowing. I'll just have to make do with these for now."
