Hearing the commotion in the Spirit Platform, Li Xiaonan was taken aback, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face as he said, "Wow! Are you speaking gibberish? Can't you talk like a human?"
"You made me squeak..." Scheming replied with a hint of grievance.
Li Xiaonan could no longer hide his amusement and said, "It's good! You're still here."
"Yeah, I woke up when you returned to Earth. I never expected that as a Divine Rank, merging with you, I would still be alive!"
"That just proves you're meant to survive! Stop thinking about dying! As long as I'm here, you need to live well!" With that, Li Xiaonan's figure flickered and he left Earth, returning to the Starry Illusion Continent.
Earth, the Starry Illusion Continent, the Immortal Realm, and the Divine Realm all appeared as points of light in Li Xiaonan's mind. Now, there was nowhere he couldn't go, only places he hadn't thought of yet.
Though time and space were not under Li Xiaonan's control, he could still participate in them.
In the Langya Mountain Purple Bamboo Forest, Ling Xingyao was staring blankly at the "corpse" beside her, curiously poking Scheming's face with her finger as she murmured, "Could it be that the guesses from Sisters are true? The boss really likes men?"
Ming Ruoyun squatted down beside her, examining Scheming closely. "Even if that's the case, Brother Li probably wouldn't be interested in him. Qing An is way better looking!"
"Xiaoyun, you don't understand. The boss is extraordinary; his taste must be different. He might actually prefer someone small and slender like this guy. If you look closely, he's not bad-looking; just a bit weak."
Ling Xingyao stroked her chin and continued to critique Scheming.
Just as Li Xiaonan returned to the Starry Illusion Continent, he overheard Ling Xingyao gossiping away with content that was utterly limitless and shameless.
A vein throbbed on his forehead as he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem! Ling Xingyao, what are you talking about?"
Ling Xingyao looked up at the blazing sun, but he couldn't help feeling a chill behind him.
With a forced smile, he said, "Boss... you're back..."
"Of course! If I didn't come back, would you be seeing ghosts?" Li Xiaonan replied irritably, wrapping an arm around Scheming's body. "Get me a room ready."
"Oh, right! Sure!" Ling Xingyao nodded with a grin, not forgetting to throw a flirtatious glance at Ming Ruoyun, implying: See? The boss really has an interest in this guy!
Li Xiaonan noticed but felt helpless about it.
He suddenly realized that the Creator God was quite shameless, with affection radiating everywhere.
He placed Scheming on the bed and sat cross-legged in front of him, his consciousness sinking into the Spirit Platform.
Ling Xingyao, who was peeking from outside the window, didn't blink.
After a while, he noticed Li Xiaonan suddenly open his eyes and curse, "Damn it! Where did it go again!"
Furrowing his brows, he pondered: Could it be that it only works on Earth?
It wasn't impossible; after all, Scheming wasn't a character from a book.
Li Xiaonan bit his lip and directly picked up Scheming before disappearing once more.
Ling Xingyao, still spying, wondered aloud, "Huh? Where did the boss go? Oh my gosh! He wouldn't have run away with a man, would he? No way! I have to tell the Sisters! Transcend Tribulation! I need to hurry and Transcend Tribulation!"
At that moment, Li Xiaonan had once again returned to the gates of S University.
"Xiao... Nan!"
Li Xiaonan was still in a daze, wondering who was calling him. No one on Earth should recognize him anymore.
He saw a woman running towards him with her hair disheveled.
He froze for a moment, thinking: Isn't that Editor Mom? Did she recognize me?
No... wait... she wasn't calling me; she must be calling this Li Xiaonan.
He slowly lowered his head and glanced at Scheming, who was leaning against his shoulder.
In just a few seconds, Su Mei had rushed to Li Xiaonan's side.
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan, what happened?"
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and said, "It's Aunt Su, right? Xiao Nan is fine; don't worry too much. He's just tired and will wake up after a nap."
"Really? Is that so?" Tears glimmered in Su Mei's eyes as she gently stroked Scheming's cheek. "Why has this child lost weight again..."
Li Xiaonan's heart trembled. He had always told himself that everything on Earth was no longer related to him, but seeing Su Mei like this made him unable to help but envy Scheming.
In that moment, Li Xiaonan understood the knot in Scheming's heart.
If... if I were to switch places with Scheming, I would find it hard to accept as well...
He knows how I spent those eighteen years, and he also knows how he will spend his days on Earth in the future.
How foolish... so foolish...
Li Xiaonan suddenly laughed, tears almost forming in his eyes from the amusement.
Beside him, Su Mei was startled. She thought to herself: This young man is quite handsome, but he seems a bit off in the head! However, he clearly recognizes me; he must be a friend of Xiao Nan...
Realizing the situation, Li Xiaonan put away his somewhat fierce smile and said, "Aunt Su, could we find a place to settle Xiao Nan first..."
"Oh! Sure! Let's go to his father's office!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and then lifted Xiao Nan onto his back.
For the first time, he realized that "he" was surprisingly light, hardly heavier than a few of his wives.
Back then, Scheming must have carried him too; no wonder he was so excited at that time...
Li Xiaonan shook his head and strode forward. Rather than following Su Mei, it felt more like she was leading him.
He had a premonition that on Earth, he would definitely be able to separate Scheming from his body.
Principal Dad seemed to have gone somewhere; the office was empty. Li Xiaonan placed Scheming on the sofa.
Su Mei remained nervously close, which put Li Xiaonan in a difficult position. If Su Mei didn't leave, how could he make his move?
Just as he was about to speak, Su Mei interjected, "By the way, you see Aunt Su is all confused; I haven't even asked your name yet! Thank you for bringing Xiao Nan back."
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, but a persistent ache lingered in his heart. He had too many unresolved feelings for this woman.
He forced a smile and replied, "Auntie, no need to thank me. Xiao Nan has helped me a lot. My name is also Li Xiaonan."
"Oh? What a coincidence!"
"Um... Auntie, could you..."
"Xiao Nan, what on earth happened to him? He's been missing for several days and only left a note telling us not to look for him... sigh..."
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but sigh as well. Inner Thoughts: Can't you let me finish my sentence? I want to rescue Scheming as soon as possible too!
He casually fabricated a reason, saying, "Xiao Nan called me and said he wanted to clear his mind. I usually live in the mountains, and after I answered the call, I waited for him but he never showed up. I was worried something happened to him, but thankfully I found him."
"I see! Should we call an ambulance to take him to the hospital?"
"No need, Auntie. He's just really tired. But could you please buy some food? I think he'll be hungry when he wakes up."
Su Mei's mind didn't question Li Xiaonan's words at all; perhaps it was because Li Xiaonan was too handsome or maybe it was his subtle charm that made her trust him completely.
She grabbed her bag and hurried out.
Li Xiaonan watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but shake his head. He said to Scheming, "You're really something."
"That comment doesn't sit well with me!" The voice of Scheming echoed again from the Spirit Platform.
Li Xiaonan felt a surge of joy. He asked, "Back in the Starry Illusion Continent, I called for you. Why didn't you respond?"
"You returned to the Starry Illusion Continent? I didn't know. I just felt like I was knocked out... I lost consciousness for a while."
"Forget about that! I'm pulling you out right now!"
"No way! I've already merged with your body as a Divine Rank entity! If you forcibly extract me, your cultivation will definitely be affected."
"Stop talking nonsense! You promised to take care of my parents. If you don't return to your own body, how can you fulfill that promise?"
Without hesitation, Li Xiaonan plunged his consciousness into the Spirit Platform.
He looked at his divine tree, which, strictly speaking, was no longer just a tree.
Why do I say that?
Have you ever seen a tree with a face? A face identical to Scheming's.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath and punched into the divine tree, beginning to search for Scheming's soul.
It felt like stabbing a needle into his own brain, causing a whirlwind of confusion.
If it weren't for Li Xiaonan's current Divine Body and his unyielding will, he would have fainted by now.
The divine tree trembled, and amidst the twinkling white starlight, a hint of blue floated.
Li Xiaonan felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickly reached out to pull it into his palm, dragging it out from the divine tree.
Li Xiaonan had once attempted ghost cultivation; although he wasn't as skilled as Lu Nishang in soul placement, he had no idea where to go for help.
He suppressed the headache and the urge to vomit, casting three hand seals towards Scheming.
The blue light slowly descended onto Scheming's forehead. At first, it merely hovered on the surface of the skin, but as Li Xiaonan continued to cast hand seals, it gradually penetrated the skin and entered Scheming's Spirit Platform.
Li Xiaonan let out a sigh of relief but suddenly felt darkness envelop him, losing consciousness as he collapsed beside Scheming.
However, Scheming opened his eyes. He sighed and said, "I guess this life will never be clear... Well, I’ll just have to work like a horse for you... If all else fails, I could change my personality and be your third wheel? Heh heh..."
Scheming muttered to himself as he carried Li Xiaonan to the sofa, carefully examining Li Xiaonan's body.
Though he was much weaker than before, at least he was still a divine being.
This brought some comfort to Scheming.
He plopped down on the floor, lost in thought until Su Mei walked into the room, snapping him back to reality.
"Xiao Nan! You're awake! That's great! Are you hungry? Mom bought you a lot of food."
Scheming twitched his lips slightly. Su Mei treated him well, so well that she seemed to overlook another Li Xiaonan.
He wanted to say, the one lying here is your son!
But he could never bring himself to say it, not just for the woman in front of him, but also for Li Xiaonan.
He spoke up, "Mom, I'm not hungry. I'm fine."
"That's good to hear. Oh? Why is your friend asleep?"
"Oh, he carried me down from the mountain. He must be tired," Scheming continued to lie in line with Li Xiaonan's story.
However, Su Mei didn't pay much attention; after all, her son was back, standing healthy in front of her, and that was enough.
"Mom, I want to discuss something with you. I wonder if you can agree?" Scheming said with a frown.
"For Xiao Nan, Mom will do her best!"
Scheming nodded and looked at Li Xiaonan on the bed. "Mom, it's quite a coincidence that we both share the name Li Xiaonan. He helped me a lot before, but I can't think of any way to repay him."
"I see. How about we prepare some money for him?"
Scheming twitched his lips again. "Mom, money doesn't mean much to him. He lives in the mountains... Mom, he's quite pitiful. I've always considered him a brother. Why don't you and Dad adopt him as your godson? What do you think?"
