Fortunately, the food at the Cyber Restaurant didn’t contain any alien limbs, and the taste was quite good. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After eating and drinking well, Judith and Han Zhan left the Cyber Restaurant.

"Where’s the next stop?" Han Zhan asked.

"To my back garden," Judith replied.

"???"

Han Zhan leaned back tactically.

The back garden you mentioned, is it legit?

Seeming to realize the ambiguity in her words, Judith quickly added:

"It’s my new house in Titan City; I’ve planted many flowers there, so I often call it the back garden."

So that’s how it is. Han Zhan nodded understandingly, almost thinking Judith had unknowingly switched places with Shang Jianyue.

"You’ll need a place to stay when you arrive in Titan City," Judith continued to explain.

The two walked and talked.

Judith’s back garden was near Dawn Street.

This was originally the lowest level of Can Shang Company, where ordinary people lived.

Now that the area has been opened up, all the residents have migrated to wealthier regions, leaving it deserted naturally.

Including Dawn Street, it was the same.

Dawn Street, once a mix of fish and dragons, filled with the lowest strata of society, suddenly became deserted overnight.

Because the value of this area wasn’t high, Shang Jianyue didn’t have new development plans for it.

Judith applied to Shang Jianyue, and eventually, this area was allocated to her, becoming a garden she visits and tends in her spare time.

Looking at the suburban garden that’s clearly out of place with cyberpunk, Han Zhan couldn’t help but sigh:

"In just two short years, I didn’t expect this place to change so drastically. Only you still hold onto this barren area, unwilling to leave."

"I’ve always been a nostalgic person." When Judith said this, her gaze was fixed on Han Zhan.

Han Zhan was slightly overwhelmed by Judith’s intense gaze and coughed lightly.

"Sometimes nostalgia isn’t necessarily a good thing; you have to look forward."

After Han Zhan spoke, he didn’t wait for Judith to say anything else and walked towards the house in the garden.

Judith remained silent for a moment and followed.

Just as Han Zhan stepped into the courtyard, he was surrounded by a golden sea of flowers.

The refreshing floral scent floated in the air, and each flower faced the direction of a small artificial sun, blooming and thriving.

"These are sunflowers; they only bloom towards the sun, showing their most beautiful scene to it."

"Optimistic, positive, and cheerful. Every time I encounter difficulties, I’ll come here to take a short break."

"To draw new strength from them."

Judith’s voice came from behind.

Her smile was bright like sunlight, just like these sunflowers.

Han Zhan’s lips moved slightly.

"Alright." Judith didn’t give Han Zhan a chance to continue speaking. She took a deep breath and collected her emotions.

"You’ll stay here for the next few days; I won’t disturb you."

"I’ve treated you to a meal as well, fulfilling my obsession of owing you a meal. Time to return to my work."

Just as she said, Judith returned to her initial positive and optimistic self, full of smiles, as if she’d never been hurt.

"Well then..." When Judith spoke, she walked towards Han Zhan, slightly tilting her head, looking at this man who often appears in her dreams, wanting to remember his appearance at this moment.

"We’re friends, right?" Judith sniffed and asked, smiling.

"We’re friends," Han Zhan nodded lightly.

"That’s good."

After Judith spoke, she opened her arms, "As friends, a hug at parting shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?"

This... indeed isn’t too much.

Seeing Han Zhan not refusing, Judith moved closer, wrapped her arms around Han Zhan, and pressed her cheek against his chest.

A moment later, they quickly parted.

"Well then, goodbye." Judith retreated a body length away from Han Zhan, gave him a big smile, and waved her hand.

"Goodbye." Han Zhan was also infected and smiled.

Judith turned, without any hesitation, walked towards the direction of the sun, like the sunflowers lining the road.

Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Han Zhan withdrew his gaze.

May your future life be as splendid and colorful as the sunflowers.

He silently blessed in his heart.

...

Han Zhan pushed open the door and entered the house.

Various things inside were all available, showing that they were meticulously prepared.

"Tsk tsk." At this moment, a sound rang in Han Zhan’s ear, followed by a virtual light shadow condensing at his side.

Dragon head, dragon body, dragon tail.

Who else but Bob?

"Such a good girl, and she’s the type to be a virtuous wife and a good mother, why not marry her?"

As Little Dragon Man Bob said this, his tail swayed.

Han Zhan glared at him.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting; as soon as I let slip, this video will definitely be sent to Xiao Jin and the others instantly."

"Hehe." Bob chuckled awkwardly, not denying.

Bob, this guy, who knows what stuff he spread to Shang Jianyue, somehow got access to the Titan City’s network without obstruction.

How could Han Zhan not know Bob’s little schemes?

"But, it’s not because of that reason."

Bob and Shang Jianyue want to see him crash, a harem showdown, but in fact, Han Zhan’s backyard catching fire is highly unlikely.

"Then why?"

"Is it because of her humble origin, or because she was once a fallen woman? Or perhaps, she’s not your type?"

Even these Bob knew.

It’s hard not to suspect that Bob’s presence there is Shang Jianyue’s doing behind the scenes.

"None of those." Han Zhan shook his head, "It’s because Judith isn’t a contracted spirit."

"What’s the problem with that?" Bob asked in confusion, "She can’t be your aid? Since when have you become so utilitarian?"

Han Zhan continued to shake his head.

Only he himself knew, it wasn’t a matter of being utilitarian or not.

As his cultivation level continued to rise, the dangers and dilemmas Han Zhan had to face became more and more formidable.

Unknown, terrifying, horrifying, eerie.

There are also hostile forces encircling like wolves and tigers.

Han Zhan felt like a vortex, making it so that anyone around him, if careless, might get sucked in and lose their life!

His contracted spirits, senior brothers, and Combat Spirit Contract Masters were at least cultivators, with a degree of self-preservation.

But Judith wasn’t.

She was just an ordinary person.

Just like other ordinary people, living healthily is fine, isn’t it?

"Let’s leave it all to time; time will dilute everything."

After hearing Han Zhan’s words, Bob discontentedly swayed his tail.

Facing Han Zhan’s flawless answers, no matter how he tried to coax, all he could do was shut off the video recording angrily.

"This is boring, you’re truly an uninteresting person."
