Floating Island, Kitchen on the First Floor of the Villa
Yun Yun was busy cooking, wearing a cute apron that accentuated her S-shaped figure—a sight to behold.
Ju Zi, eager to help, chimed in, "Sister Yun, you look amazing! If I were a guy, I'd definitely want to marry you."
Orange, watching from the side, understood why Yuto Saito had such a fondness for Yun Yun. The girl's charm was undeniable.
Yun Yun smiled warmly, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Little Orange, you flatter me!"
As Orange stirred the eggs, she cheerfully replied, "I'm just being honest! Sister Shuang said she wanted lean meat and stewed eggs, so I've prepared the eggs."
"Add the lean meat, then place it in the pot to steam," Yun Yun instructed, her tone gentle yet assertive.
"Got it!" Orange replied enthusiastically, following her directions without hesitation.
At that moment, Yuto Saito walked into the kitchen, positioning himself between the two women. He casually placed his left hand on Yun Yun's right shoulder and his right hand on Orange's left shoulder.
A thought flickered through Yuto Saito's mind: "Time to copy Orange's hearing talent!"
Ding! Copying. Consumed one copy card.
Congratulations to the host for acquiring the hearing talent and receiving a 90 attribute bonus.
Yuto Saito felt a rush of excitement—such a significant boost all at once was exhilarating!

Tangzi felt a thrill as Yuto Saito's hand rested on her shoulder, thinking, It seems Yuto really likes me. If Ju Zi knew that Yuto was copying her hearing talent, she might be surprised.
Yun Yun looked at Yuto Saito with her enchanting eyes and said softly, "Husband, just a little longer—about ten minutes left!"
Yuto Saito gently hugged her, his voice soothing. "Okay, no rush."
Watching them, Orange couldn't help but feel like an onlooker to a love story, silently wishing, If only Brother Su felt the same way about me.
After a moment, Yuto Saito left the kitchen, wandering into the living room where Ni Shuang and the others were chatting. He decided to take a walk outside.
With the floating island upgraded, the Tree of Life had grown taller, providing a fresh supply of oxygen to the floating haven.
On the Other Side
Song Yi and Gao Guang from the military were on a mission to hunt down a human-faced spider they had encountered the night before. They had lost track of it in the dark, but this afternoon, they finally found it again.
However, the fourth-tier human-faced demon spider was agile and elusive. One wrong move, and it could slip away again.
Fortunately, Song Yi had placed a locator on its back during their last encounter.
Checking the device, they raced toward Douyu University.
Gao Guang frowned, urgency in his voice. "That beast ran into the school! We have to find it fast; if it harms any students, it'll be a disaster."
"Agreed! It headed toward the back mountain—let's hurry!" Song Yi replied.
Back on the Floating Island
Yuto Saito stood at the edge of the protective barrier, looking out over the landscape below. The floating island remained cloaked from outside view, visible only to those within their team.
He focused on his new hearing talent, a smile creeping across his face. "Oh? The human-faced spider is heading this way?"
He spotted the massive creature scuttling past the girls' dormitory, making a beeline for the back mountain.
Inside the dormitory, Hu Tuan'er glanced out the window and gasped at the sight of the enormous spider. Panic surged through her—if that thing caught her, she would surely perish!
Despite having lost some legs in their last encounter, the spider still moved quickly.
Yuto Saito smirked as he noticed it below. Time to make a move.
He mentally activated his powers, lifting the protective cover and using his flight ability to soar down.
Once clear of the floating island, he reactivated the barrier, concealing their sanctuary once more.
Song Yi and Gao Guang
As they rushed toward the back mountain, Song Yi remarked, "Did you see that big island in the sky? It just vanished!"
Gao Guang hadn't seen it and shrugged. "Maybe it was a mirage?"
"Could be. Let's focus on capturing that spider. We can't let it harm anyone else."
Earlier, Yuto Saito had briefly lifted the protective cover, allowing Song Yi to glimpse the floating island before it disappeared. Now, she couldn't shake the feeling that it had been a mirage.
As Yuto Saito descended, he launched a bolt of lightning at the creeping spider.
The fourth-tier human-faced demon spider was momentarily paralyzed, unable to move.
In a flash, Yuto Saito used his freezing ability, encasing the spider in ice.
Just two swift attacks were all it took to eliminate it.
After all, Yuto Saito's strength had reached an impressive 13 stars—even a basic strike from him was devastating.
Ding! Kill the fourth-tier human-faced demon spider. Gain 400 experience points.
Reward: 1 red sapphire.
Reward: 2 bottles of golden sore medicine.
With a satisfied grin, Yuto Saito approached the fallen spider and stored the items in his bag.
Moments later, Song Yi and Gao Guang arrived, breathless and alert.
They froze upon seeing the corpse of the human-faced demon spider.
"Who killed it?" Song Yi exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Gao Guang scanned the area cautiously. "Someone must be nearby."
At that very moment, Yuto Saito had already returned to the floating island, lounging comfortably on the sofa and chatting happily with the girls.
