"Stop right there! Do you think I actually want to see your bare backside? We shared baths enough times back in the day; looking at your scrawny little frame just makes me sick!" Tang Yuan snorted dismissively, though his natural girth contorted the sneer into a wide, fleshy grin. He stood up, slapped his excessively thick rear end, and strode out the door.

"Fatty, you just broke one of my doors today, so that's an automatic deduction of five thousand taels from your share!..." The fatty dared to retort, mocking his own imposing physique. Jun Mo Xie exploded in fury, shouting, "...Gold!"

With a thud, the fatty tumbled to the ground outside. What?! Five thousand taels... of gold? What kind of door costs that much...

Jun Mo Xie slowly dried the water from his body. The petite young girl, Ke'er, blushing furiously, helped him into dry clothes... Traveling through worlds was truly a curse. Jun Mo Xie, the assassin from his past life who had always managed his own affairs, had now grown accustomed to having everything done for him... He was truly degenerating...

Slipping into a soft robe, Jun Mo Xie looked sharp. He playfully pinched the little girl's cheek, and amidst her soft, protesting sounds of endearment, Young Master Jun roared with laughter, leaping out the door to find Ying Bo Kong and instruct him to retrieve medicine from the Aristocratic Hall.

Jun Wu Yi and Jun Zhan Tian were currently deep in preparations for officially adopting Qing Han as their goddaughter, handling all the necessary ceremonies. The manor now also housed an idle elder—Dugu Zongheng.

Ever since the Dugu family learned that Jun Mo Xie could treat the old master’s chronic injury, Elder Dugu had taken up permanent residence at the Jun estate. As they were all old acquaintances, and soon to be in-laws, Elder Dugu Zongheng felt no need to act like a guest. Before he had even been there a full day, he had the Jun family servants running in circles, and since Jun Mo Xie had been busy, Elder Dugu, who had waited for days, grew increasingly dissatisfied. Consequently, the Elder Dugu's earth-shattering bellows frequently echoed over the Jun manor these past few days, sounding like thunder splitting a clear sky, comparable only to the snoring of the fatty down in the Four-Nine City...

This realization made the Jun family servants suddenly appreciate just how blissful their previous days of only serving Old Master Jun had been...

Jun Mo Xie, rushing like a traveling divine physician, treated Elder Dugu in the fastest manner possible. In reality, there was little to treat; he merely inserted a few gold needles into the fleshy parts of the old man’s backside as a feint, then circulated his Kai Tian Zao Hua Gong through the Elder's meridians.

Though the action was minimal, Elder Dugu Zongheng immediately
