After reaching the peak of the Mortal Transcendence Realm, Wang Yue's speed had hit a whole new level. Moving like a literal god across the water, he crossed thousands of miles of ocean in just over an hour.
He made landfall in a secluded area, keeping a low profile to avoid drawing any eyes, and slipped back into the Wang Family estate like a ghost.
As twilight began to settle, Wang Yue moved through the shadows toward Su Mengyan's quarters. He wanted to give his mom the ultimate surprise—dropping in on her totally unannounced.
To sell the lie, he'd specifically told the family during his last comms from the sub that he'd be delayed by a few days.
But when he stepped inside, his excitement hit a brick wall. His mom wasn't even home.
Instead, right in the middle of the living room, there was a large note in her handwriting: "Come to the back garden. Everyone's waiting!"
