As soon as Chu Qiuchi stepped into the dormitory, Long Yueze hurriedly came up to her and bombarded her with questions with curiosity.

"How was it? How many levels did you pass? What skills did you acquire? Aren't you amazing? Look at you, you've only just returned. I've been waiting for you so long I've gotten so thin from hunger."

Chu Qiuchi's gaze fell on the mountain of snack bags piled up on the living room table, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Nine levels, four-star area-of-effect skill, incredibly powerful, I can take on ten of them by myself. But you said you've lost weight from hunger, were all the snacks on the table for dogs?"

Hearing Chu Qiuchi's teasing, Long Yueze raised an eyebrow and retorted with dissatisfaction, "How can you compare me to a dog? Besides, how can snacks fill your stomach? And you say you can take on 10? Why don't you say you can take on 100? You little brat, you've got quite the nerve."

Then, his tone changed, "But it seems your skills are indeed quite impressive. Congratulations, little sister!"

Hearing Long Yueze's congratulations, Chu Qiuchi's face showed a smug smile. "Thank you for the compliment. I do think my skills are quite impressive. Since you're so good at talking, I'll treat you to a big meal today. What would you like to eat? We'll go to the restaurant to buy some later."

Long Yueze's eyes lit up when he heard Chu Qiuchi's suggestion. "Really? I have so many things I want to eat! Let's go, let's go, let's buy them and eat them right away!"

Chu Qiuchi's expression froze instantly. He rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, inwardly regretting: Good grief, I forgot about this guy's gluttonous nature. However, since he had already said it, he could only bite the bullet and go for it!

As expected, she once again received a shocked look from the restaurant aunt. Chu Qiuchi was numb; only food could heal her wounded heart!

After a sumptuous meal, the two quickly cleared the table, sat comfortably on the sofa, and chatted.

"I feel that after I completed the challenge, my mental strength has become more refined, and the fluctuations of the spatial seed are also very large. It shouldn't be long before my mental strength breaks through, and my mental space can be opened!"

"It seems your journey was definitely worthwhile; you've gained a lot. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, this trip has indeed been very fruitful!"

Chu Qiuchi stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I think the method used in the tower to test mental strength and magic control skills is quite good. If we used this method to hone our mental strength and magic power in our daily training, it would be of great benefit to our own strength. However, I don't know if the academy has such facilities?"

Upon hearing Chu Qiuchi's words, Long Yueze's eyes flashed with curiosity. "If it's so useful, why don't you give it a try? If the academy doesn't have a ready-made testing device, and you're currently studying alchemy, perhaps you could make one yourself."

"Big brother, you think too highly of me. I've only just finished learning the basics of alchemy and haven't even had a real hands-on experience yet. I've barely learned to walk, and you already want me to fly."

Despite saying that, she quickly cheered herself up and encouraged herself.

"But you're right. If the academy doesn't have one ready-made, I'll make one myself. With my intelligence, it shouldn't be a problem!"

"That's right, keep up the good work! I really believe in you!"

Chu Qiuchi glanced at Long Yueze and said indifferently, "Oh, really? I'm flattered."

Long Yueze winked at her and smiled charmingly: "You'll gradually realize how good your brother is to you!"

Chu Qiuchi's body trembled, and he glared at him with disdain.

"We'll start combat training and physical conditioning tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? Also, a month has passed. How's your injury recovery going? Have you contacted your people? They're probably frantically searching for you all over the world!"

Long Yueze didn't care about her attitude at all, and waved his hand lazily, "I haven't been going out with you a lot lately. In my simulated state, I can't recover from my injuries, so I've only recovered a little bit. I barely managed to send a message to the clan to explain."

He paused, then his expression turned serious. "Little Qiuchi, I might have to stay here a while longer to go fishing. But don't worry, I'll have someone send you the money for your expenses during this time. Our entire clan will remember this favor!"

Chu Qiuchi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Long Yueze seriously, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "Fine! However, whether you want to go fishing or whatever, I don't care, but you must restrain your people and not use this opportunity to cause trouble among the human race!"

Long Yueze sat up straight and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, it won't happen! Oh, and there's something else I need to remind you. There might be someone secretly watching you. After you left today, someone sneaked in to check things out. Luckily, I reacted quickly and managed to erase the traces and hide. It's also a good thing you didn't prepare any special clothes for me, otherwise, this would have been a real disaster."

"What? How could someone be secretly monitoring me?"

Chu Qiuchi's expression immediately turned serious, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance.

She pondered to herself, "Could they be people sent by the royal family to protect me? But why would they enter my room without permission to investigate? I wonder if it's for protection or surveillance; their motives are rather intriguing."

"It seems we've escaped unscathed this time, but we'll need to be even more careful in the future."

Long Yueze nodded seriously. "That's right, we must be careful. I will try to keep a low profile and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. I am still recovering from my injuries, and I won't be able to help you if something happens, so I will stay in my room and focus on recovering. At the same time, I will keep an eye on our surroundings to ensure our safety."

"Alright, let's arrange it like this for now. Just be careful, and we should be fine. I'm going to cultivate now. You should also take good care of your injuries. Your recovery will make us safer."

Upon hearing this, Long Yueze smiled easily and proudly raised his chin.

"Alright, go ahead. Don't worry, I'll recover my cultivation level as soon as possible!"

Chu Qiuchi had just entered the bedroom, preparing to begin his cultivation, when he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, Qiu Jingya's voice came from outside.

"Xiaochi! Are you there? Open the door, Mommy's here to see you!"

A flurry of activity erupted inside the room as the two quickly tidied up. Long Yueze nimbly leaped onto Chu Qiuchi's wrist and quietly hid.

After confirming that everything was in order, Chu Qiuchi took a deep breath before opening the door.

"Mom, you're coming to see us! Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have picked you up at the school gate!"

Qiu Jingya smiled and patted Chu Qiuchi's head.

"It's been so long since I've seen my darling daughter, Mom wanted to give you a surprise! How about it, are you surprised? Haha, I also brought you both lots of your favorite foods."

After calming down, Chu Qiuchi said excitedly, "What a surprise! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you, Mom. I've missed you so much! Come in!"

Qiu Jingya smiled, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Let's not go in yet. Let's go find Chenchen together and give him a surprise."

"Okay, let's go together and give him a surprise."

After saying that, Chu Qiuchi closed the door and, arm in arm with Qiu Jingya, walked towards Chu Yichen's dormitory.

When they arrived at the dormitory entrance, they knocked on the door, and one of Chu Yichen's roommates opened it.

Upon seeing Chu Qiuchi, he knew she was looking for Chu Yichen. He then said to Chu Yichen, who was chatting with her roommate about her experience of completing the challenge, "Yichen, your sister has brought a beautiful woman she doesn't know to see you."

Hearing what Chu Yichen's roommate said, Qiu Jingya smiled happily and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm not the older sister anymore, I'm Chenchen's mother."

Chu Yichen's roommate quickly realized, "Oh, it's Auntie! I'm so sorry, you look so young, you look like an older sister!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen rushed out of the house, hugged Qiu Jingya tightly, and said in surprise, "Mom, why did you come? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

"Mom wanted to give you a surprise, didn't she? How is it? Aren't you happy?"

"I'm so happy! Mom, I missed you and Dad so much!" His joy was palpable.

“We miss you guys too. Let’s go sit with your sister for a while. I’ll treat you and your roommates to dinner tonight! Go tell them and ask for their opinion.”

Chu Yichen responded and then turned back to the dormitory to tell his roommates about Qiu Jingya's suggestion.

After obtaining everyone's unanimous agreement, she went out with Qiu Jingya to Chu Qiuchi's dormitory.

In the dormitory, the two happily shared their experiences of completing the challenges that day with Qiu Jingya. Upon learning that they had both obtained four-star skills, Qiu Jingya felt proud and honored for the two children.

The time spent together was always joyful. Before they knew it, it was getting late. Chu Yichen went back to the dormitory and called his roommates to the restaurant. He had a sumptuous dinner with Qiu Jingya and Chu Qiuchi.

After dinner, Qiu Jingya and Chu Qiuchi returned to their dormitory. She would stay overnight in Chu Qiuchi's dormitory and leave the next day.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, after receiving a message from his secret guards, Ao Jinming roared angrily in his bedchamber: "Idiot! I told you to report her unusual behavior, and what kind of report is this? Is eating a lot considered unusual?"

He channeled his rebuke into a magical teleportation device and forcefully sent it out. The device swiftly disappeared from the room, carrying Ao Jinming's anger and commands into the distance. What he needed was truly useful information, not this kind of trivial and useless report.
