Unaware, I've already been in this world for so long.

Su Ziyu sat in the courtyard, preparing tea while chatting with Qing Ji beside him. Not far away was Yi Ji, crouching on the ground with a stick in her hand, drawing in the sand. Occasionally, when praised by Qing Ji, she would happily sway her long, five to six-meter-long green snake tail. Er Sanji and Siji were lazing around, asleep inside the room. Qing Ji mentioned that they were about to awaken their intelligence and were currently in a semi-dormant state, requiring over twelve hours of sleep daily.

Wuji and Liuji showed no signs of awakening intelligence; the former loved to poke around for bird nests or burn ants when free, while the latter would run to the kitchen searching for snacks whenever she had spare time.

Qing Ji was most worried about Wuji, as she showed a hint of the demon's ferocity, with more aggression than her other sisters.

Yi Ji and Liuji were the least of concerns. Yi Ji was the earliest to awaken intelligence and could read and write now. She imitated Qing Ji the most, even mimicking her mannerisms to perfection. If it weren't for one being a White Snake and the other a Green Snake, Su Ziyu wouldn't be able to tell them apart just by looking.

Liuji was the easiest to please; as long as there was food, she was content. She wasn't picky, though Qing Ji worried she might turn into a big fatty, but demons unlikely would get to that point.

Su Ziyu smiled, listening to Qing Ji chattering about her six sisters. At this moment, the fairy-like aura was absent, making her seem more like a beautiful wife in the mortal world, and indeed, one who liked talking, ensuring the house would be far from cold and silent. Qing Ji dressed in a cloud-patterned white skirt and holding a White Paper Umbrella exuded a presence reminiscent of the White Lady. However, during those times, she seemed slightly aloof, giving off an air that discouraged strangers from approaching. When she narrowed her eyes to gaze at you, even Su Ziyu would feel a bit uneasy and flustered, her look carrying a faint killing aura.

In contrast, Su Ziyu preferred the current, more gentle and gracious Qing Ji, who wasn't as intimidating.

Su Ziyu felt that he certainly had some psychological shadows lingering in the Dream World.

"Husband. Have an orange." Qing Ji placed a peeled orange in front of Su Ziyu, tilting her head to glance at the corner, "Liuji? Do you want one too? If you want to eat, come over and get it yourself!"

A lovely head popped out from the corner, with messy black hair hanging down. Qing Ji had just fixed the six sisters' styles in the morning, and now, except for Yi Ji, all of them looked tousled. At this moment, Liuji looked like a beauty snake from mythology; she first glanced at Qing Ji, then timidly at Su Ziyu, appearing slightly afraid of him, yet exhibiting a greedy expression as if on the verge of drooling.

After a brief hesitation.

Liuji bashfully slithered out from the corner. She approached Qing Ji, first picking an orange and respectfully placing it in front of Su Ziyu, then taking another orange and placing it in front of Qing Ji, and subsequently, handling an orange to Yi Ji, who was still drawing in the sand.

Was this a case of Kong Rong yielding the pear?

Unexpectedly, Liuji was so polite.

Su Ziyu curiously observed Liuji, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips, showing an expression indicating a teachable child. However, in the next second, Liuji directly lifted the basket full of oranges, joyfully hugging it and walking away.

And thus, joyfully she left.

Su Ziyu's expression turned slightly stiff, and Qing Ji beside him was equally embarrassed. She turned her head to look at Su Ziyu tenderly, filled with apology, "Husband. She is still an ignorant child. I will ensure to teach her etiquette properly when we return."

"It's fine." Su Ziyu shook his head with a smile, "I don't have that many rules here."

"If she likes to eat, let her eat."

Hearing this, Qing Ji appeared deeply moved, softly saying, "Husband, you're so kind!"

As a modern person, Su Ziyu lacked the superiority complex often seen in others, coming across as very approachable. The status of women in Fusang has always been low, and even in modern times, it's not much better. However, as a Huaxia, respect for women isn't just talk. Women's role as equals isn't just rhetoric. With the boost from some feminist initiatives, even typically strong women's positions in Huaxia families are predominant, leaving many men to make only major decisions. Su Ziyu, having grown up in such an environment, indeed differs from his contemporary Fusang counterparts. Even though he's tried to assimilate into this era, some refined qualities still subtly reveal themselves.

Why was it that Qing Ji, who was much stronger than him before, maintained such a humble stance in daily life?

It's merely the environment of Fusang.

Time flies while idling.

Su Ziyu only drank tea for a short while and glanced at the Yi Jing, and the day was already over.

As night fell.

After seeing Qing Ji off, Su Ziyu closed his eyes to check the data stream in his mind, attempting to connect spiritually with the Hourglass of Time. With the authority level upgrade, Su Ziyu could already manipulate the Hourglass of Time's ability a bit, like leaving a world ahead of time before the Hourglass's light streamed, but this required filling a progress bar first.
