Chapter 406: Chapter 390: Promotion

"How do you always end up bringing everything back to us?" Lu Yun said with a laugh, pushing Shitou, but unsurprisingly, she couldn’t push him away.

"Hehe. Don’t worry about it, this experience might not necessarily be a bad thing for Gu Feng. Men, you know, only truly grow after they’ve been through a lot and figure out what they really want... So in comparison, getting married later isn’t really a big deal," Shitou said, not forgetting to seize every opportunity to sneak in some caresses.

"That’s true, true lovers aren’t so easily torn apart. So, in the end, it might be his ex-girlfriend who will regret her actions. That woman was a bit too vain, seeing that she couldn’t win over my aunt, she immediately threw herself into someone else’s arms, which is just too realistic. Maybe her leaving Gu Feng is actually his luck."

Lu Yun nodded thoughtfully. A blessing in disguise, who knows? Maybe in the future, Gu Feng will feel fortunate because of this.

"Let’s stop talking about others..." Shitou was getting more and more unruly as he saw that Lu Yun’s thoughts were still elsewhere and he was starting to sweat from urgency.

Teased by him, Lu Yun also began to lose her self-restraint and couldn’t help but scold, "Why are you always so horny? It’s still early, and Guaibao is still at home. What if he hears something?"

"Let’s go to the space," Shitou murmured, gasping for air.

In an instant, the scene changed and the two appeared in Lu Yun’s space.

A vigorous workout completely drained Lu Yun’s energy. With just a thought, the two teleported directly into the huge bathhouse in the space, and after thoroughly enjoying a medicinal bath that could ease muscle soreness and restore strength amazingly, she felt rejuvenated.

Freshly dressed in clean pajamas, the two didn’t linger long in the space but went directly to the bed in the bedroom outside. Lying head to head, Shitou suddenly sighed, "That stinky kid is going off to school in September, and once the light bulb at home is gone, we’ll have much more convenience for ourselves."

What mattered most was that his wife’s attention could finally refocus entirely on him, without having to share it with that stinky kid. Thinking this, Shitou felt very happy.

"Don’t say that. Once Guaibao goes to school, we’ll only see him a few times a year. Just the thought of it makes me feel reluctant, and you actually think it’s nice? You must be the stepfather!" Lu Yun was so annoyed she nearly kicked Shitou off the bed. She hit him several times, then turned her head away from him with a huff.

Shitou knew he had slipped up, getting too carried away and accidentally spilling his true thoughts. He quickly moved in close, gently and sweetly trying to coax Lu Yun into feeling happy again, "If you really can’t bear it, why don’t we just keep him by our side and teach him ourselves?"

"..." Was that possible? Which family’s child, when it was time, could just not go to school? Even Pei Xin was in the school on the island. Could they afford to let their child be the odd one out?

Lu Yun felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.

"Hehe, I was just saying," Shitou said, knowing he had misspoken again, and laughed awkwardly to cover it up.

Lu Yun glared at him for a long while before finally muttering lowly, "Birds have to leave the nest when they grow up; children have their own worlds and friends, and they must forge their own paths. What does it count for if we don’t let go?"

"What sets us apart from others is that at least we are still on the same island as the child. If you really miss him too much, it wouldn’t be that difficult to sneak a peek at him. Pei Xin is also on the island, and we have secretly visited her a few times. She, a girl, has adapted well despite being away from her parents. Pei Yi should be no different." Seeing that Lu Yun said this with a hint of reluctance in her expression, Shitou felt heartache but dared not say anything to dissuade him from going to school anymore; instead, he replied very cautiously.

"Hmm."

Lu Yun nodded, still feeling waves of reluctance in her heart.

Pei Yi was indeed their biological child, but he knew nothing about the existence of Lu Yun’s Space. Since his birth, even when he was an infant with no memory, Lu Yun and Shitou had never brought him into the Space.

After testing, Pei Yi’s psychic power level had reached S-grade, which, although not as high as Shitou and Lu Yun’s talents, was still considered very good. Yet, while he was still young, he had not been informed of the existence of not only the Space but also the Space Stones.

In recent years, the nation had already begun promoting the cultivation of spiritual power and Physical Art in many places. At the same time, the screening for children with Psychic Power Talent had started, and those without spiritual power but with excellent constitutions and martial talents had also been selected from among the children across the country.

These selected children were generally between eight and ten years old, and they first had to undergo strict political scrutiny, followed by police stations and community representatives persuading their parents. In the end, the children were secretly gathered and sent to specific training bases across the country for closed-door education.

They just needed to wait patiently for a few years until this group of people truly grew up, and then could begin planning for the nationwide promotion of spiritual power and Physical Art cultivation.

Of course, parents of the selected children were never told the whole truth; surely, even the police stations and community representatives that persuaded them did not know the true destination of these children.

But what those parents could understand was that children chosen by the nation had limitless futures. Moreover, another important point was that under the birth policy, families with selected children were allowed by exception to legally have another child.

There were indeed some hard-headed parents who did not want their children to leave their sight. For such parents, unless the child had Psychic Power Talent and the talent was a B-grade or higher, generally after one or two rounds of unsuccessful persuasion, those responsible for convincing would no longer insist.

After all, as a populous country, there was no shortage of people, and whether those stubborn parents would regret what they had missed when the truth eventually came to light or whether they might be resented by their now-sensible children was hard to say.

Compared with parents unwilling to let their children leave their side, there were many who were exceptionally astute, using various connections to stubbornly find ways to send their unselected children away.

The school on the island where Shitou and Lu Yun’s research institute was located was one of these secret training bases.

In the Pei Family’s new generation, apart from Pei Yi’s S-grade Psychic Power Talent, even Pei Xin possessed A-grade Psychic Power Talent. This delighted Pei Qingyuan and Zhang Min so much that they couldn’t stop smiling.

Pei Kun and Ding Luoluo also breathed a sigh of relief. Since they themselves had no spiritual power, they were very worried that Pei Xin wouldn’t have it either. So, when the time came for Pei Xin to be tested and not only did she possess Psychic Power Talent, but her talent was also extremely high, they were completely reassured.

Therefore, although it was hard to let go, when the time came they sent Pei Xin to the specialty training base. Of course, before that, both Pei Xin and Pei Yi were not ignorant about the cultivation of spiritual power; from the age of five, they had received special guidance from their family and were practicing the advanced-grade Cultivation Technique exclusively preserved by the Pei Family.
