Anfu Mansion, 120th floor rooftop.
Gao Xuan lay on a long white cane chair, gazing at the starry sky, pondering a life's dilemma: should he succumb to the negative effects of the Celestial Dragon Eye.
The Celestial Dragon Eye is a top-tier Golden Marvel, and its energy rules have very high priority.
Marvels possess powerful energy and have their own mysterious rules. The rules of Marvels can conflict with each other, and they can also clash with various powers.
When Marvel rules and other rules clash, the rule's energy level is typically compared.
The higher the energy level of the rules, the higher its priority.
When a Golden Marvel and a Silver Marvel conflict, the rules of the Golden Marvel will naturally suppress those of the Silver Marvel.
Among Marvels of the same level, the one with the higher energy level will have higher priority.
If the rules of the Celestial Dragon Eye and the Godslaying Sword conflict, the Godslaying Sword may not be able to overpower the Celestial Dragon Eye.
Currently, Gao Xuan is trying to suppress the instincts of the Celestial Dragon Eye with his willpower, which is essentially resisting the rules of the Celestial Dragon Eye.
Even though his Spiritual Power is strong, he can't win against the rules of the Celestial Dragon Eye directly.
It's only because the rule of the Celestial Dragon Eye's bloodline inheritance is broad that he can hold out temporarily.
Of course, there are always loopholes in Marvel rules to exploit.
Just like how Gao Xuan can close his eyes to avoid the Godslaying Sword's rule that dictates death upon witnessing blood.
The Celestial Dragon Eye's bloodline inheritance rule, well, also has gaps that can be exploited.
Gao Xuan thought for a while as he lay there and came up with a few solutions.
The simplest would be to go to a hospital and donate his ancestral chromosomes, which would earn some money and spread the bloodline. Of course, the specific effects are hard to say.
Also, donating chromosomes to a hospital isn't that easy. There are medical exams and reviews. In a small room, doing it with a pretty chromosome collection doll, well, might not be so bad...
The key is the medical exam, leaving your blood sample data at the hospital, which is a troublesome thing.
Everyone's genes are their greatest asset.
Nowadays, all hospitals must obtain patient consent before collecting genetic samples.
Gao Xuan has been lying in a hospital for almost ten days now, just for routine treatment. He hasn't undergone any genetic testing.
It's for this reason that Yun Qingshang stopped Wei Zhenzhen from acting recklessly.
The Alliance is very weak now, and behind the scenes, it's in the hands of giant interstellar corporations.
Capitalists will stop at nothing for profit, without any lower limit.
If an individual's genetic samples are taken, who knows what the capitalists will do?
At the simplest, they could clone several people with Gao Xuan's genetic samples, and he would feel awful.
Gao Xuan then thought of Yun Qingshang, his brother, who could totally help him solve the problem.
However, this kind of relationship is too abnormal. It could easily cause trouble. You can't take advantage of your brother like that.
Gao Xuan sighed, "Changchang, why is it so hard to be a good person?"
Yun Qingshang said nothing; she never considered Gao Xuan a good person, nor did she think Gao Xuan wanted to be a good person.
"I really don't want to be a scumbag, but I'm also forced into it..."
Yun Qingshang couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and said, "I'm tired."
"Uh, it's not good to be so direct."
Gao Xuan sighed and said, "Alright, I admit I'm a scumbag. Everything else is just an excuse. I just want to have fun without paying or giving emotions..."
Yun Qingshang, who had walked to the door, paused for a moment. She wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
Once Gao Xuan came to terms with it, he felt liberated. He was just a scumbag; recognizing his true self meant he didn't have to pretend to be a good person, nor did he have to act like he revered morality.
Gao Xuan touched his smart watch, and a virtual screen popped up. He thought for a moment and said, "Contact Wei Zhenzhen."
He muttered to himself, "Since you want to play with me, I'll fulfill your wish, and everyone will be happy."
Wei Zhenzhen's side almost instantly answered Gao Xuan's video call, and a cheerful little face of Wei Zhenzhen appeared on the virtual screen.
"Brother Gao Xuan, why are you looking for me?"
Wei Zhenzhen was very excited that Gao Xuan finally thought of her.
Tonight, Xu Yin was still complaining to her mother, and she got scolded. She was feeling very upset.
However, looking at Gao Xuan's flawless, handsome face on the virtual screen, all her previous unhappiness vanished.
A youth like this should belong to her. Unfortunately, Gao Xuan has an eye disease, missing the eyes that could communicate souls.
No, I must help him! Regardless of his willingness.
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "We just moved to temporarily live at Professor Xu's house. Would you like to come over and take a look?"
He added, "It might be a bit late now, or shall we meet tomorrow."
"It's not late; I'll come over and find you now."
As a student with a guaranteed slot, Wei Zhenzhen had no study pressure, and she was bored every day. Receiving Gao Xuan's invitation, she didn't hesitate at all.
Wei Zhenzhen carefully dressed up in her room, changed several outfits, and finally chose a white T-shirt paired with shorts and flat woven sandals.
This outfit was simple, clean, modern, delicate, and full of energy. Especially the shorts, which showcased her beautiful long legs.
Carrying a small bag, Wei Zhenzhen walked out joyfully and happened to run into Wei Yue sitting in the living room.
Wei Yue frowned slightly, "Where are you going so late?"
"It's only eleven; what do you mean late? Mingjing's nightlife is just starting."
Seeing Wei Yue's displeasure, Wei Zhenzhen quickly smiled, "I'm not going clubbing, just going to see a classmate."
She raised her hand, "I promise to be good and not cause trouble."
"Which classmate are you seeing?" Wei Yue asked.
"Hmm, hmm..."
Wei Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Gao Xuan."
"Hmm?"
Wei Yue's face turned cold, "Didn't I just tell you this afternoon to have less contact with Gao Xuan."
Xu Yin had told her some things about Gao Xuan, and Wei Yue also felt that Gao Xuan was a bit mysterious, with complicated and difficult-to-read intentions.
Wei Zhenzhen was young and innocent, not really suited to be friends with such a person.
"Mom..."
Wei Zhenzhen was very smart and saw that Wei Yue was a bit angry, so she quickly snuggled up to her mother and acted spoiled.
Wei Yue's features and appearance were almost identical to Wei Zhenzhen's, but her brows revealed more maturity and steadiness.
Wei Yue truly loved this daughter very much, but she also understood the saying that a doting mother often spoils her children. She was actually quite strict in her discipline of Wei Zhenzhen.
But Wei Zhenzhen was already eighteen and an adult. Using high-pressure methods to discipline her would easily create conflicts.
This time, Wei Zhenzhen truly liked Gao Xuan, so she couldn't use forceful methods.
Wei Yue was well aware that emotions are hard to control. Even adults struggle with this, let alone young people.
Given her capability and conditions, even if Wei Zhenzhen was deceived, it didn't matter much. Wei Zhenzhen could afford to lose.
All women have to go through this stage to realize that emotions and men are unreliable. A woman can only rely on herself.
Thinking of this, Wei Yue's expression softened a bit, "Zhenzhen, I'm not stopping you from making friends. You just need to understand that in this world, only your mother will wholeheartedly be good to you. Everyone else has their reasons for getting close to you."
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Zhenzhen said nonchalantly, "I just like Gao Xuan's face and his jokes. I'm happy and joyful with him. I just like hanging out with him, and that's enough. Whatever he's after, I'll give it to him."
"Uh..."
Wei Yue was somewhat speechless. Do young people today really think this way?
Wei Zhenzhen said, "Everyone takes what they need; isn't that fair?"
"Turns out my daughter is actually a heartbreaker."
Wei Yue could only sigh and wave her hand, "Then go ahead, but be safe."
"I will."
Wei Zhenzhen was in a great mood after getting approval. She happily gave her mom a kiss on the cheek, "Mom, you're the best."
Wei Yue said a bit helplessly, "Let Sister Yun go with you."
"Okay. Goodnight, Mom."
At this moment, Wei Zhenzhen was unusually well-behaved and sensible.
After exiting the room, Wei Zhenzhen found Sister Yun, who received the order and was already waiting in the car.
This speeding Crown magnetic levitation flying car had six seats, was powered purely by electricity, and could only run on highways with super tracks installed. Its speed could reach five hundred kilometers per hour.
The car's onboard computer could connect to the Celestial Net in real-time, ensuring that no matter how fast it went, it wouldn't collide with other vehicles. Its safety was very high.
Most roads within the Sixth Ring of Mingjing City were equipped with tracks, allowing the speeding Crown to travel without hindrance.
Twenty minutes later, the speeding Crown arrived at the underground parking lot of Anfu Mansion.
Such luxury cars worth tens of millions were very rare in the Sixth Ring District, attracting numerous admiring glances along the way.
When Wei Zhenzhen got out of the car, someone in the parking lot even whistled.
Sister Yun, with a stern face, stepped out and coldly glanced at the man who whistled.
The man immediately backed off at the sight of Sister Yun, who was armed with a pistol.
There was no doubt she was a top-tier bodyguard for a wealthy elite. In this era, big business tycoons controlled all social resources. Offending a tycoon was purely asking for trouble.
Sister Yun escorted Wei Zhenzhen up the elevator, and two minutes later, they reached the top floor. Sister Yun pressed the doorbell, and Gao Xuan quickly came to open the door to welcome them.
"Brother Gao, haha, I brought you a bottle of Purple Blood Wine..."
Wei Zhenzhen flaunted the exquisite and beautiful wine bottle in her hand, "To celebrate your housewarming."
"You shouldn't have."
Gao Xuan didn't refuse, reaching out to take the Purple Blood Wine and politely inviting Wei Zhenzhen and Sister Yun inside.
Wei Zhenzhen didn't stand on ceremony, kicking off her shoes at the entrance and casually entering the room.
Sister Yun, however, did not go in. She looked at Gao Xuan's exceptionally handsome face and said, "Mr. Gao, I am Zhenzhen's bodyguard. Let's exchange contact information; you can contact me if anything comes up."
Sister Yun was very professional and calm, but she was extremely, extremely shocked inside.
Although Wei Zhenzhen had repeatedly emphasized how handsome Gao Xuan was and even showed her pictures of him,
the photos didn't do him justice. They couldn't capture the indescribable handsomeness of Gao Xuan or convey his mysterious and free-spirited aura.
Faced with such a handsome young man, even the battle-hardened Sister Yun was a bit nervous.
Gao Xuan was easygoing; he tapped his smartwatch against Sister Yun's, "No problem."
Sister Yun didn't intend to say much more, but given Gao Xuan's looks, she broke her rule to offer a reminder: "Zhenzhen is the beloved daughter of the boss. She's a bit naive, so please bear with her if she does anything wrong."
She paused for a moment before introducing herself, "I'm Wu Caiyun from the security department of Yuanlong Company. No matter whether any issues arise with Zhenzhen, or if you need assistance with anything, you can reach out to me."
Sister Yun gave Gao Xuan a deep look, "Remember! Nothing must happen to Zhenzhen. Otherwise, none of us can bear the consequences."
Fearing that Gao Xuan wouldn't see the seriousness in her expression, she firmly emphasized it again.
Gao Xuan smiled slightly, "Sister Yun, don't worry, though my eyes have problems, my brain is quite sharp..."
