Chapter 62: Morning

He looked at their interaction as he knew Bing Rong was too shy to do anything, so he grabbed her hand and gently pulled her towards him. She didn't resist at all and fell into his lap. He started brushing her hair lightly as she closed her eyes in enjoyment.

Shen Yuan smiled lightly, looking at her kitten-like expression.

He shook his head and continued chatting with Shen Yuxin. They talked until late in the night as Shen Yuxin also got her chance. Shen Yuan helplessly shook his head as he patted her head softly.

Shen Yuxin didn't let him off as she made various poses to tempt him, almost making him lose his cool. He knew what she wanted, and he accepted it.

After living with her for over 18 years, he knew that she had adopted him due to how she felt the tug of fate at that time, and after living with him for so long, she had also come to love him dearly.

He wanted to make her first night special, and that's why he was controlling himself. But Shen Yuxin wasn't making it any easier for him.

She was tempting him at every opportunity to seduce him. He gently kissed her forehead as he whispered, "Let's go to sleep, Mom."

He hugged her tightly as he placed her above him, and Huo Rong lay down on his right while Bing Rong lay down on his left.

He could feel their soft bodies pressing against him as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

...

Shen Yuan's eyes fluttered open, and the scene before him made his blood rush with excitement.

The first thing he noticed was the soft feeling of something pressing against his chest. Shen Yuxin was lying across his chest, her head nestled against his shoulder, and her warm breath felt cozy on his neck.

To his right, Huo Rong was curled up against him, her hand resting on his chest. Even in sleep, she had a slight smile on her face. On his left, Bing Rong was sleeping silently, her usual cold expression softened in sleep.

Soon, they all gathered in the dining hall and began eating breakfast and chatting about what they would do.

As Shen Yuan bit into the juicy, roasted meat, a burst of rich flavors filled his mouth—the perfect blend of savory spices and the meat's natural tenderness.

They continued to chat as Huo Rong suggested, "Hey, Yuan'er, since you don't know what you are looking for and will only be looking around the city, why don't we make it a date and enjoy ourselves? If it is meant to be then you will get the way to saturate your bloodline."

Shen Yuan considered her option for a moment before he nodded his head in agreement, "Oh yeah, we can do that. Not like I know what I'm looking for, might as well just buy whatever I find to my liking and enjoy our time together."

Shen Yuxin and Bing Rong also nodded their heads in agreement as they quite liked this idea. Bing Rong's icy cold face also revealed a small smile as she wondered what she would do with Shen Yuan today.

Shen Yuan thought of something as he asked, "Hey Yue Lan, show me my stats."

Yue Lan's voice echoed in the dining room.

[You can't see your stats until you activate the system fully.]

Shen Yuan got confused as he was able to access the system without doing anything in the past, so what was with this condition all of a sudden?

"How can I activate the system?" Nonetheless, he first asked the pressing question as he truly didn't want to miss such a golden opportunity to power up.

[Well, what is the name of the system? You need to take the next step before you can activate it now. And you know what the next step will be.]

Yue Lan fell silent after Shen Yuan asked about how to activate the system. Shen Yuan also fell silent as he considered his options.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong looked at each other, their eyes lighting up as if sparks were flying.
