"You are the Immortal Monarch…? Do you honestly expect me to believe you?" Liya asked him after snapping out of her daze.
Yuan smiled and said, "Honestly? I do. But if you don't, that's fine as well. I'm sure you'll eventually believe me. Oh, I also happen to be the Divine Paragon— who triumphed in the war against Demons and rescued humanity."
As Yuan revealed one astonishing revelation after another, Liya's mind struggled to process everything, and she could even feel it burning from being shocked too much.
Seeing Liya standing there in stunned silence, Yuan waved and added, "I can make my way back to the house on my own. See you later." He then turned and left, leaving Liya to collect her thoughts in solitude.
Liya, in her state of bewilderment, made no effort to halt him or seek clarification regarding the astonishing revelations Yuan had disclosed. She remained rooted to the spot, her thoughts in disarray.
Yuan returned to the mansion sometime later.
"I've only just returned, and so many things have occurred already," he sighed wearily as he stepped back into the mansion.
"Welcome back, Yuan," Meifeng greeted him as she stood waiting in the lobby.
"Don't tell me you've been waiting for me…" Yuan said with a surprised look on his face.
She silently nodded before opening her mouth, "Are you okay? You seem tired."
"We chatted longer than I'd expected."
Yuan had pondered whether he should tell everyone about the situation the moment he returned home, but he decided to wait until the next day, as he wanted them to properly rest for the day, and they already had a gathering for that day.
"You should get some rest tonight, Meifeng. You'll need it for tomorrow." Yuan said, being a little cryptic.
"Did something happen?" Meifeng couldn't help but ask after noticing it.
Yuan nodded, "Yes, I'll tell you guys tomorrow."
"I understand."
Since Yuan decided to wait until tomorrow, Meifeng figured that it probably wasn't anything too serious. Unbeknownst to her, Yuan had made the same mistake, only to later realize that the world was ending in less than a hundred years.
"Goodnight, Yuan."
"Night."
Yuan proceeded directly to his room, and upon opening the door, he was met with complete darkness, shrouding the room in obscurity.
'Did she already go to sleep?' he wondered inwardly as he stepped inside the room.
However, once he closed the door, Chu Liuxiang's voice resounded, "Welcome back, Yuan."
"Oh, I thought you went to sleep already."
"How could I sleep alone on your first day back? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment?" Chu Liuxiang remarked as she switched on the lamp next to the bed, revealing her appearance.
"You… that appearance…" Yuan's eyes widened when he realized Chu Liuxiang was wearing erotic black lingerie that barely covered her body, and she even positioned her body in a seductive manner that purposefully exposed her body, almost as though she was a model for an adult magazine.
