Following Vine's guidance, it didn't take long before Lin Fei arrived at a small villa community.
"We're here. This is my place."
The environment of the villa complex was far better than the old neighborhood where Su Xiaoli lived.
The streetlights were bright, yet there was appropriate spacing between each villa.
It allowed pedestrians to clearly see the road while not disturbing the residents' rest.
Looking at the three-story detached villa before him, Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh.
"So you're actually a rich lady, Vine."
"What rich lady? It's just that my job is a bit special, so I made some extra money, that's all."
Vine deactivated her Illusory Scale Flash Boots and put one hand on her hip.
"I originally thought buying a villa would make living more comfortable."
"But now that aliens are about to invade Blue Star, there's hardly any time to live here anyway."
With a casual motion, Vine used wormhole teleportation to bring the keys into her hand and opened the courtyard gate.
Although she hadn't lived here for a while, she hadn't taken the keys with her.
For her, it was nothing more than opening a wormhole.
"Micro wormhole transport technology really is convenient."
"Want to learn it?"
Vine glanced at Lin Fei and raised an eyebrow.
"Forget it. I get the feeling you don't have good intentions."
"Hey, you're the one with bad intentions."
Even so, Vine still felt a little guilty.
Because she really did have an idea.
That was to teach Lin Fei wormhole transport technology, so she could borrow his Illusory Scale Flash Boots to try them out.
But then she thought about how important and precious wormhole transport technology was, and how she only wanted to borrow Lin Fei's ride for a bit—something that wouldn't really cost him anything.
Thinking it through like that, she felt more justified.
She snorted softly.
"If you don't want to learn, then forget it. Teaching you would just be troublesome anyway."
In truth, even if Vine wanted to teach and Lin Fei wanted to learn, it wouldn't work.
After all, Lin Fei had no dark dimension, no computing matrix, and didn't use dark energy.
He and the super-god universe belonged to completely different power systems.
They simply couldn't mesh.

Vine opened the villa door and stepped into the entryway.
She took out her own indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet, then pulled out a brand-new pair of men's slippers from a wormhole.
Her house didn't have men's slippers.
She had no friends, and had always lived alone.
Even her father, Dukao, had never been here—he only knew that Vine had earned some money carrying out special official missions and bought a villa.
Strictly speaking, Lin Fei was the first person to enter this house.
And he was even of the opposite sex.
Vine's mood was rather subtle, tinged with a bit of shyness.
She didn't know if her brain had short-circuited at the time, but she had invited Lin Fei over—
and actually brought him home.
But since things had come this far, and she had a good impression of Lin Fei, she couldn't very well dump him into some shady third-rate hotel.
Besides, once the dormitories at the Super God Academy were repaired, she would be moving back there anyway.
By then, this house could continue to be Lin Fei's place to stay.
Wearing the slippers, Lin Fei walked into the living room.
It was spacious and spotless.
The décor, ornaments, and furniture arrangement were all very simple.
"So this is your home, Vine? It's really clean."
"Did you think I'd have clothes and junk piled everywhere?"
Vine shot Lin Fei a look.
"This place gets cleaned regularly by a housekeeping auntie."
"Even though I already live in the academy dorms, I still come back occasionally to rest for a couple of days."
She took off her leather coat and hung it on the rack by the wall.
"Come on. Your room is on the third floor."
Following Vine upstairs, they soon reached the third floor.
"I'm on the second floor. The entire third floor is yours."
"Lin Fei, which room do you want?"
"Doesn't matter. This one will do."
Lin Fei picked a room farthest from the staircase, on the side.
"Alright, then this one."
The room was empty, with nothing in it.
With a wave of Vine's hand, the bed, sheets, quilt, and other bedding instantly appeared in the room.
"Wormhole transport can be used like this too? With that ability, Vine, you could start a moving company and make a fortune."
Watching the room quickly go from empty to fully furnished, Lin Fei couldn't help saying.
"Get lost."
"Anything else you need?"
"Not for now."
"Then… get some rest early. I'm going back to my room."
After saying that, Vine hurriedly left and returned to her own bedroom.
Although she kept telling herself it was nothing, her emotions continued to ripple.
As a result, she lay awake for a long, long time.
And it wasn't just Vine.
That night, for many people, it was a sleepless night.
Su Xiaoli lay sprawled on her bed, wearing pink fox-ear pajamas.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She didn't care about Blue Star being invaded, or aliens attacking.
Those things meant nothing to someone with her carefree background.
Every time she closed her eyes, she would recall the moment when Lin Fei stepped forward while no one else did—
that dashing, heroic figure—
and how he then, in the most literal, physical sense, beat that thug Liu Chuang until he was crawling on the ground looking for his teeth.
And today, she finally realized—
she wasn't the only special one anymore.
She was no longer alone.
She had Lin Fei.
She no longer needed those plastic-sister friendships from before.
As long as she had Lin Fei, that was enough.
There was still a month left on her lease, but she was already impatient to see Lin Fei again—
even to live together with him.
Hugging her pink cartoon quilt, her expression was sweet.
She had already begun fantasizing about her future cohabitation with Lin Fei.
At the same time—
Rui Mengmeng was also unable to fall asleep.
In a cramped, shabby rental apartment, she lay on her somewhat hard bed.
Lying on her side, she lifted her plain face, her clear eyes gazing at the full moon outside the window.
She didn't know why, but she felt that her future life seemed about to change.
And from time to time, images of Lin Fei would flash through her mind.
The moment Lin Fei asked for her contact information.
The concern he showed when it was getting late and he wanted to send Su Xiaoli home.
And the sight of him supporting Su Xiaoli as they boarded that unmanned, energy-powered motorcycle and rode away.
She clutched her old phone that she had used for years.
In her heart, she inexplicably hoped that at some point, Lin Fei would send her a message.
These girls were still doing relatively fine.
But Dukao and Ah Jie truly couldn't sleep at all.
Dukao spent a long time explaining the situation to the top officials of the Tianchao authorities, laying out the urgent crisis Blue Star was facing and pushing for rapid approval to repair and rebuild the Super God Academy.
Meanwhile, Ah Jie was constantly busy arranging housing for the academy's staff.
As well as making arrangements for Liu Chuang, who was still unconscious.
They were so busy they barely had a moment to breathe.
