Chapter 332 – Florida Parents Entrust One-Year-Old Child to Neighbor Nannies With Criminal Background. Next Day, Child Knows How to Assemble and Dissemble Guns.

Leo carried Aslan and visited the general store branch, run by Cat. Upon arrival, the family found Cat, who dozed off on the rooftop.

The dryad's cultivation base already caught up with Esen's, but her appearance was still that of a middle-school dark elf. Her head and clothes were covered in snow while icicles froze her hair.

Esen rushed to Cat and poured yang Qi around Cat. After thawing the lazy dryad, Esen shook the girl.

"Cat, wake up. Your mom and dad are here."

Cat didn't respond. She slightly opened her eyes and returned to sleep.

Esen looked at Leo, asking for help, "Can you wake her up? She's going to turn into a snowman if she keeps sleeping here."

Leo shrugged and passed Aslan to Esen. He leaned forward and whispered to Cat.

"Nom-Nom time."

Cat's eyes snapped open. She shook the snow on her body and panted like a dog. "Where nom-nom, meow?"

Leo laughed and pulled out a truck-sized angler fish from his system inventory. He tossed it to Cat, who opened her mouth and sucked the entire creature into her throat.

A small dryad devouring a bigger creature in one gulp was nothing new here. Despite the weirdness of the situation, nobody around them bat an eye. Cars, flying ships, and cultivators continued their daily lives as if they had seen this a thousand times.

After feeding Cat, Leo patted her head and removed a few pieces of dirt in her hair.

"Are you bored, Cat?"

Cat shook her head, "Nope! Every day is the nom-nom day, meow. Our customers are generous. They gave me many nom-nom, meow!"

"Good. Oh, right. I need to introduce you to your new sibling." Leo smiled at Aslan, who broke a sweat.

Cat followed Leo's gaze and noticed Aslan. She sniffed and drooled.

"Is sibling edible?"

Leo and Esen widely grinned while Aslan sweated profusely. He regretted choosing Leo as his parent.

"Depends. If this little shit suddenly leaves by himself at night to woo a woman in the future, you are free to eat him."

Aslan cried, "You can't do this to me! I'm your father! Do you know how much I dedicate my life to protect you?!"

Leo laughed, "Don't worry, pops. I'm doing this for your own good. As long as Cat sees you as a potential food, nobody can harm you. She will guard you like a precious strawberry cake seasoned with top-quality weed."

"That's the point! She will see me as FOOD!"

"Oh, you just have to be stronger than her when you plan to move out, Dad. For the moment, she will only sniff and lick you. Right, Cat?"

Cat repeatedly nodded. She promised, "I'll do my best to lick him every day, meow. But if he doesn't comply to you, I'll gobble him!"

Leo and Esen giggled while Aslan gave up. The latter prayed to Void Principality to hurry and come down to bring him away.

After teasing Aslan enough, Leo brought his son to visit other places.

The slum area no longer existed as Leo's system buildings replaced them. Highways, infrastructures, and public facilities took a portion of the western land while residential buildings and commercial buildings mixed together like Japanese metropolitan cities. Because of the congested city plan, traffic on the roads was also busy, especially in the areas near Cat's store.

During the past year, the branch had been upgraded to another shopping complex, where only immortals could enter. Thus, all customers had a bit of lifespan and cash to spend.

The parking lot near Cat's store was always full of vehicles. Most of them were flying scooters as they were cheap, but some shoppers came with trucks, sedans, or small flying ships. Endless visitors entered the store and came out with packages of food, cultivation resources, furniture, or weapons.

Inside the store was similar to Leo's headquarters. All store slots were occupied and provided various services to the visitors. 90% of the stores were Leo's system facilities while the rest belonged to new sects and schools, which local cultivators found.

One of the local stores belonged to the lava badgers, who evolved and transformed into humans. They weaved their fur into fluffy dolls and fur coats, which were local cultivators' favorite as they provided warmth and mild yang Qi.

Aslan wasn't interested in the stores at first. But when Leo brought him to the headquarters, Aslan was startled by the new layouts of stores and items.

Formerly, only the first, the fourth, and the fifth floors were full. As for the present, every store slot was full, and every store provided different services and items. The workshops and factories were also gone, replaced by bookstores and tutoring centers. Moreover, the headquarters set the customer qualification to the deity realm or higher.

Aslan asked Leo to let him roam the shopping complex, and Leo allowed him to. The former rushed to the nearest gift shop on the second floor. Then, he picked up an item, which emitted a strange light.

Instantly, Aslan verified the item's details with his system.

.

Prismatic Ring of Heavenly Fate (One Use)

This ring is made by Jin Yong, the adept alchemist. Because of his imperfect skill, the ring's effects are limited and can only be used once, but the effect is guaranteed.

Guarantee a life-changing fortuitous encounter to the wearer within 30 days. The type of encounter is random. After the encounter, the ring will lose its power.

.

Aslan turned around and questioned Leo.

"Leo, isn't this a freaking heavenly fate crystal?!"

Leo cackled, "Nope! It's a lesser version of that. Did you see what it's made of?"

"…What about it?"

"Prismatic Void Leaf!"

"…And what the hell is that?!"

Leo shook his head and brought out a rainbow leaf, which he had extracted from the Prismatic Void Tree. He tossed it toward Aslan and let him appraise it.

.

Prismatic Void Leaf

Extracted from the Prismatic Void Tree. Void leaves are commonly acknowledged as a currency in the higher dimension "Great Void Universe". This Prismatic Void Leaf can be exchanged into 1,000 regular void leaves.

Because of its poisonous nature, it cannot be consumed. Whoever under the transcendence realm consumes it will suffer from excruciating pain and randomly mutates into a monster. Only someone with a dryad bloodline, an Alraune bloodline, or Leo's bloodline could eat them. However, if it is refined by a master alchemist, it can become a lesser entity fate crystal.

In case someone consumes the prismatic void leaf and survives, a completed entity fate crystal will be born in the person's soul. In addition, Prismatic Dryads and Prismatic Alraunes of the Great Void Universe regularly consume them as snacks because of their exquisite taste.

.

The detail disclosed some secrets in the higher dimension. Aslan drools, dying to learn more about the Great Void Universe.

Leo put the leaf away and lightly bonked Aslan's head. He warned the son, "Do not take the higher dimension lightly. The minimal cultivation base over there is transcendence realm level 10. The average is Singularity Level 30, and the top is level 100."

Aslan repeatedly nodded. He looked into Leo's eyes in curiosity.

"What about your current cultivation base? How strong are you now?"

Leo grinned, "Level 100."

"…Bull freaking shit."

"Suits yourself. I won't force you to believe me."

Aslan doubted that Leo could increase his cultivation base to the ceiling of the higher dimension while he remained in this universe. Testing Leo's information, he asked about his newly acquired system.

"System, can you verify my father's cultivation base?"

DING

<Leonardo "Florida Man" Ariel's cultivation base is Time Emperor Level 100.>

"W-What?!"

Aslan found it hard to believe. He asked another question.

"What the hell is Time Emperor?! How strong is it compared to the Singularity Realm?!"

<Time Tier is a major realm higher than the Singularity Tier. Singularity can bend and manipulate an entire universe at will, but Time Lords can manipulate, create, erase, or fix any timeline of the universe.>

<Unlike the other realms, Time Lord Realm is classified by five minor classes – Time Page, Time Priest, Time Sage, Time King, and Time Emperor.>

"…"

Aslan quietly turned to Leo, gazing at him in astonishment.

"How?"

Leo snorted and crossed his arms. "I'm that good."

"That's impossible! I know that you fucker is an autistic dementia dipshit! There's no way that you can surpass the Great Void Realm without visiting it!"

Leo rolled his eyes. He didn't bother explaining himself and dragged Aslan to another store.

When Leo arrived in front of the time chamber, he dropped Aslan in front of it. Then, he clapped his hands, summoning the guardian of this place.

An elderly swordsman and a youthful swordsman came out. The first one was Hua Taixu's clone while the other one was the original, aka the real sword saint. Both bolstered the strength of the entity realm.

Seeing the two sword saints, Aslan had a bad feeling about this. He pointed at the young saint.

"Leo, since when…"

Leo shrugged, "I've been busy. He just visited the store one day and decided to join us. Am I right, Taixu?"

The original sword saint stroked his long waving hair and showed his face. He was a handsome cat-eared man with a straight long nose. Because he carried the Cathulhu bloodline, there were small tentacles under his chin.

He was the real Hua Taixu, who reincarnated as a half-Cathulhu and half-human. He also disliked it when anybody asked who his parents were and how they conceived him.

Hua Taixu, the original, glanced at Aslan and smirked.

"Is he yours, my lord?"

"Yeah, he's my son."

"How nice. Only one year old, and he's a deity. Your bloodline is really something, my lord."

Leo teased Hua Taixu, "Do you regret not being reincarnated as my child?"

Hua Taixu burst into laughter, "I like my tentacle beard and back arms. I have to decline."

"Ah, too bad. Anyway, about today's business." Leo picked up Aslan and tossed him to Hua Taixu, the clone.

The clone gazed at the boy. He widely smirked, "Him, train?"

"Yeah. Train him in there for a year and bring him back to me. Teach him a prismatic phoenix cultivation method and your sword daos. He's gonna need them in a few hundred years."

"ME, STRONK! ME, TRAIN, HIM! HE, SUPER STRONK!"

The clone laughed and dragged Aslan to the time chamber. Hua Taixu also turned around and was about to follow his clone. However, Leo stopped the cat man and gave him a spatial ring.

"I've stored some milk, cultivation resources, diapers, and a child's bed in there. Make sure he drinks the phoenix milk every three hours."

"Am I the nanny now?"

"Yup!"

Hua Taixu rubbed his brows. He complained, "I need a raise after this."

"Sure. Bring me the result, and I'll raise your wage by 20%."

"DEAL!"

Hua Taixu cackled and followed his clone. They entered the time chamber and locked the door.

After sending his child to a pair of lunatics, Leo shifted his attention to Esen. The wife smiled and stretched as if she had just gotten rid of a thorn by her side.

"So, we have a day of relaxation? What should we do for the day?"

Leo hugged her from behind and pointed to the fifth floor, where a cinema was located.

"How about a few movies? I bought some films from the other timelines, and I think it's interesting. It's about a gamer being forced to join god's trials based on horror games that he played."

"A thriller movie? Not a fantasy?"

"Fantasy is boring these days. The plots are too cliché and predictable. Let's watch something different."

"Sure!"

The husband and wife ditched their son and went out for a movie date.
