Although Alice didn't ask the reason for the relocation, Ze Kai still roughly told her what had happened to him.
Hearing that Ze Kai had been kicked out of his home and stripped of his surname, the elven girl felt very angry.
"That Wilson Family is truly a bunch of idiots, to actually kick the Young Master out of the house."
The girl's face was puffed up with anger, looking very pretty.
Ze Kai said with a smile, "Alice, this is the first time I've heard you curse."
Alice's face flushed slightly, and she said, "I'm just angry. The Young Master is clearly such a good person."
Ze Kai felt warmth in his heart and said, "This is good too. The more heartless they are, the more thoroughly they cut ties with me. Quartz City, and even the Sunset Empire, are too bloated and not suitable for our development. It's good to be far away from here."
Alice immediately said, "Alice will always follow the Young Master."
Seeing the girl's serious and adorable expression, Ze Kai couldn't help but pinch her chubby cheeks.
Alice's face rapidly heated up, and her body trembled slightly.
She didn't swat away Ze Kai's 'salty pig hand'; she was like a system that had crashed, letting Ze Kai pull her cheeks upwards.
"Alice, being too serious isn't pretty. You should smile more."
Alice softly assented, taking Ze Kai's words to heart.
The two chatted for over an hour, clarifying the general plan, which also made it easier for Alice to organize everyone for the evacuation.
As night fell, Ze Kai returned to Quartz City.
It was a pity that the Dragon Blood Horse was too conspicuous, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted so much time. Looking at the pedestrians and carriages on the street, Ze Kai felt it was necessary for Dr. Hack to research modern vehicles.
Ze Kai returned to the Tulip Dream Workshop and successfully went up to the second floor through the back door.
As soon as he opened the door, a small black figure pounced into his arms; it was You Ying.
"Young Master, you're finally back."
You Ying wrapped her limbs around Ze Kai like a koala, not forgetting to rub her head against Ze Kai's chest.
Ze Kai ruffled You Ying's soft, long black hair, knowing she was too bored, and said with a smile, "You Ying, how's your progress with learning to read and write?"
You Ying, who was just acting spoiled, instantly lost all her energy and slid down from Ze Kai's body.
The girl looked at Ze Kai with a hopeful expression, "Young Master, can I not learn to read and write?"
Ze Kai had given You Ying and Shuang Ya, who couldn't go out, the task of learning to read and write.
You Ying got a headache just looking at books, feeling muddled all day, and was quite tormented.
Ze Kai shook his head and said, "Look at Shuang Ya, how diligently she's studying... hmm?"
Ze Kai was about to use Shuang Ya to prod You Ying, but suddenly realized something was off and walked in front of Shuang Ya, who was reading a book.
As he got closer, a faint snore could be heard.
Ze Kai looked at Shuang Ya, who was sleeping with her eyes open, speechless. Well, she was also a handful.
Making them learn to read and write was a whim of his, and now it seemed it was a bit difficult for the two of them.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Bai Ling, having finished her bath, came out.
"Young Master, when did you get back?"
Ze Kai looked at Bai Ling; her skin was like snow after her bath, steam still rising from her body, her long white hair was spread out, and her lively fox ears made one want to touch them.
"Just got back."
Bai Ling walked forward, noticed Shuang Ya sleeping with her eyes open, and couldn't help but chuckle softly, her fox tail swaying and brushing against Shuang Ya's face.
Shuang Ya's expression in her sweet dream instantly changed, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
"Who?"
Shuang Ya looked around, finding everyone gathered around her, her mind still muddled for a moment.
"Young Master, you're back."
"Yes, how's your reading coming along?" Ze Kai asked.
Shuang Ya finally remembered that she was supposed to be learning to read and write.
"Uh... not very well," the werewolf girl said honestly.
Ze Kai was speechless and didn't push it. He chatted with them for a while and then went into the bathroom to shower.
After his shower, Roland also returned, notifying them that dinner was ready.
At the dinner table, Roland asked, "Young Master, where do you plan to establish your territory?"
Ze Kai already had a plan in mind and said, "South, through the Misty Forest, towards the sea."
Roland pondered for a moment and nodded, "South is good; there's the Misty Forest as a natural barrier, and it's also undeveloped land."
"That's what I thought. We can also develop a fleet then, and through the ocean, bypass the Misty Forest to contact the Sunset Empire."
Upon hearing this, Roland said, "I hear that pirates are rampant on the ocean, often attacking coastal cities, and the Empire can't even manage them. Young Master, you must be careful."
Ze Kai said, "Don't worry, they're just pirates. Pirates are what I fear least."
...After dinner, Ze Kai and Roland returned to the room.
Knowing that Ze Kai was about to leave, Roland was particularly enthusiastic, using all the 'eighteen martial arts' that noble ladies chatted about.
However, compared to Ze Kai, who had been taught by thousands of professional teachers, she was still too green and quickly surrendered.
After the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, Ze Kai, fearing that Roland wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow, could only suppress his burning heart.
In the following days, during the day, Ze Kai traveled back and forth between Quartz City and the outskirts, making all the preparations needed to open up a territory. At night, he satisfied Roland's needs, leading an exceptionally fulfilling life.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
"Young Master, I wish you a smooth journey."
In the room, Roland was tidying Ze Kai's clothes, her eyes full of reluctance.
Ze Kai put his arm around her head, kissed her gently, and said in a gentle tone, "I'll come back to see you often."
Roland's eyes were hazy, and she smiled sweetly.
After watching Ze Kai leave the room, she touched her belly, a hint of anticipation in her heart.
After working so hard for so many days, she should have successfully conceived the Young Master's child, right? Ze Kai left the perfume shop, followed by Shuang Ya, You Ying, and Bai Ling. All three wore cloaks to conceal their appearance.
The group headed south to pick up Dr. Hack and Jenny.
An hour later.
The three, who were about to enter Poor Street, were suddenly blocked by a dispersing crowd.
"That must be Rosie of the Wilson Family. I heard she's already been taken as a disciple by an Eighth-Order Magician from the Magician Association."
"Look beneath her! That's a Swiftwind Deer! An adult is a Third-Order magical beast!"
"As expected of a disciple chosen by an Eighth-Order Magician, to be given such a powerful magical beast as a mount as a Swiftwind Deer."
...Hearing the passersby's discussions, Ze Kai and his companions looked up. A group of people was walking towards them at the intersection.
In the very center was a blonde girl with a pair of lively and deep green eyes. Beneath her, she rode a small, nimble Swiftwind Deer, which moved with light leaps, as if treading on wind.
Many people followed beside the girl, mostly young men and women. Ze Kai quickly realized that most of them were probably heading to the outskirts of the Misty Forest for training.
A large portion of them were members of the Wilson Family, and Ze Kai still had some impression of them.
Ze Kai had no interest in these people and was about to lead his group into Poor Street when he heard an angry voice from behind.
"Ze Kai!"
