Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The Jing Shi residence didn't cost money; it's the exclusive treatment for Di Rank Beast Tamers — any Di Rank Beast Tamer gets allocated a property in Jing Shi.

Of course, Jing Shi is wealthy and generous, giving much, and Di Rank Beast Tamers are equally worth winning over; but if you swapped them for Xuan Rank or Huang Rank Beast Tamers, would Jing Shi even give them the time of day?

Shen Yao obtaining these things doesn't mean she'll enter official work; her life's focus remains on raising Xiao Guai's rank and the family business. But when Jing Shi encounters problems — dangers like the previous Beast Tide — she'll definitely be unconditionally dispatched to the front defense line, just like Li Suyan and her husband were back then.

There's give and take; having received the things, one must bear the due responsibility.

Shen Yao now has the Shen Family couple settled in this property; the two daughters, Xinxin and Mimi, also received the news. Pity they're currently still training in the wilderness with no set return time; otherwise, no matter what, they should gather together for a lively reunion.

"No rush for a moment; our family's fine even if we don't meet face to face." As long as hearts are in the same place, nothing else matters.

The older the Shen Family couple gets, the more open-minded they become; at the same time, they sigh that Shen Cheng and Shen Ying are still immature. Fortunately, though they have many petty thoughts, they haven't crossed the bottom line.

Children and grandchildren have their own fortune; they can't control Shen Cheng and Shen Ying staying longer. For now, they can still live off Shen Yao's reflected glory, but those two's descendants won't have that luck — it all depends on what they can achieve.

Sigh

"Dad, Mom, Jing Shi has everything; you two coming over can also rest and recuperate." As for Shen Cheng and Shen Ying in Yang City, Shen Yao guarantees that as long as the Shen Family couple is here, she won't give up on the two of them.

Although the early investments have mostly been recovered, how can a family calculate things so clearly? Those few resources leaking out from between the fingers — hope they can hold onto them.

Shen Yao began to get busy, focusing on her own career, striving to continuously expand her territory in Jing Shi and prepare starting resources for Xinxin and Mimi.

Although Shen Yao's things can't compare to Li Suyan's, mother-daughter affection isn't something that must be judged by material resources; more of it lies in other aspects.

By the time Xinxin and Mimi returned, time had already reached the tail end of the year.

The five of them (Shen Cheng and Shen Ying didn't come to reunite due to being busy in Yang City, only contacting by phone) communicated face-to-face about their respective life situations, especially Xinxin and Mimi's many days in the Secret Realm, which were full of crisis-ridden daily life. Being able to leave completely intact — both strength and wit were indispensable.

After university graduation, one entered an enterprise (Li Suyan's company) and one entered the official sector; the two walked two different routes, but in terms of development prospects, both are exceptionally good.

Even because the two performed excessively excellently, Li Suyan thoroughly suppressed Cui Hengqi and Cui Mingyue; the official sector also gave extremely many resources. The two's future achievements are plain to see.

Shen Yao praised and praised again in words; the Shen Family couple also gave all kinds of thanks. If the Beast Tamer world didn't frown on ancestor worship and feudal superstition, they'd probably have gone back to Chun City for a grand ancestor worship ceremony.

Xinxin and Mimi grew up being praised; benefiting from Shen Yao's meticulous cultivation, plus the super-strong mentality they've always possessed, every step they take is steady and solid, their foundation firmer than firm. Such children — even if Shen Yao isn't by their side — need no excessive worry.

Shen Yao plans to go out to seek opportunities for Xiao Guai, and timely let Xiao Guai advance.

However, Xiao Guai's situation is far more complex than Xiao Shan's; this trip of hers, she won't be able to return in a short time.

"Mom, leave family matters to me and Elder Sister." Mimi patted her own chest, indicating that although she works in the official sector she's not very busy; moreover, just looking after Grandpa and Grandma and keeping an eye on the family business operations isn't troublesome at all.

"Mom, me and Younger Sister have both grown up." There are things they can do very well.

Xinxin understands her own mother's desire to raise her spirit beast's rank; after all, she has it too.

Putting herself in the other's shoes: when they were young, Mother sacrificed; now that they've grown up, they'll surely feed back in return. Otherwise, only knowing how to take without knowing how to give — how far could they go in the future?

Shen Yao raised her hand and stroked Xinxin and Mimi's heads, smiling as she lamented she still has some things unfinished. Once things here in Jing Shi reach a stopping point, she'll naturally seek her own opportunities.

"Life is short yet also long; you two are gifted and not lacking resources — all the more you must persist with unremitting effort and forge ahead." A good starting point isn't an excuse to lie flat; it's the signal to rise on the wind.

Xinxin and Mimi nodded seriously; neither is the type without pursuit. From childhood to adulthood, they've been genuine "involution kings"; otherwise, they couldn't have conquered Li Suyan and the official sector, obtaining so many resources for advancement.

The three mothers and daughters grew increasingly close over a period of contact, especially since Shen Yao doesn't avoid discussing business with them and sometimes even asks for their opinions. Whether it's the experienced Xinxin or the slightly-informed Mimi, every time at such moments they can give clear judgments. Regardless of whether the judgment is flawless, just having this thought already surpasses the vast majority.

Shen Yao stayed in Jing Shi for a full two years before leaving. When she left, Xinxin and Mimi saw her off, while the Shen Family couple, due to their not-small age, were persuaded to stay home and rest.

This trip out isn't a long-term matter; it's just a short-term journey. Shen Yao plans to first travel around everywhere, confirm the resource distribution needed for Xiao Guai's advancement, then plan the harvesting order.

Therefore, Xinxin and Mimi are very reassured. The two now aren't completely fighting alone either; even if birth mom isn't by their side, there's still Grandmother.

Boarding the Peng Bird departing Jing Shi, Shen Yao held Xiao Guai in her arms, Xiao Shan perched on her shoulder, gaze looking out the window at the floating clouds drifting by.

The ever-changing clouds — sometimes mischievous and lively, sometimes calm and reserved. This Peng Bird beneath her is an extremely rare colorful variety, glittering under the sunlight, its combat power formidable while also being stunningly beautiful.

The Peng Bird flew for three full days, finally stopping at a city no less prosperous than Jing Shi.

Shen Yao brought Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai and left, as usual first finding a place to rest, then heading to the suburbs according to her phone memo's contents.

Several months passed in a flash. Relying on the widespread Peng Birds, Shen Yao flew to several cities. Some Secret Realms couldn't be confirmed and were marked, but more were confirmed locations awaiting her return visit.

During this period, Xinxin and Mimi both stayed in Jing Shi — sometimes accompanying the Shen Family couple, sometimes accompanying Li Suyan, sometimes doing their own things.

Contact between them maintained a certain frequency — neither overly concentrated nor overly cold — until Shen Yao returned to Jing Shi.

Back and forth, stopping and going. Every year Shen Yao would go out for several months, spending the remaining time in Jing Shi accompanying family and handling business. Only when the Shen Family parents' bodies grew worse and worse, and both passed away, did she begin to prepare in earnest for Xiao Guai's advancement matters.
