Xu Mengyao stared at Lin Chen in shock.
"Honey, are you saying you're invincible across the country or the entire world?" she asked.
"The world, probably pretty much invincible," Lin Chen replied with a light chuckle.
His basketball skills had long been at the Grandmaster level, nearing Legendary status. With a physique of over three hundred and the addition of Internal Energy, his overall basketball ability was extraordinary.
"Honey, you haven't actually played against any top-tier players. How can you be so sure?" Xu Mengyao asked, puzzled.
Lin Chen grinned. "How can I be sure? It's simple. One reasonable collision from me can send a person flying."
"If I can knock people flying, how could I possibly lose?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She playfully retorted, "Honey, you're just making things up, right? Many NBA players are as strong as bulls. You think you can send them flying?"
"Shouldn't be a problem."
Xu Mengyao looked at him, her eyes sparkling with surprise. "Honey, have you actually cultivated Internal Energy?"
"Guess."
Xu Mengyao couldn't believe her ears.
If Lin Chen said that, he must have cultivated Internal Energy.
She remembered when Lin Chen first started practicing Tai Chi, he was just following videos and his movements were incredibly awkward. How could he have developed Internal Energy in such a short time?
"Honey, is it true?" Xu Mengyao asked, looking at Lin Chen with anticipation.
Lin Chen nodded slightly. "It is. But don't tell anyone about this. Even though I have Internal Energy, it's not strong enough yet."
"Okay."
"I won't say a word, not even to Mom and Dad." Xu Mengyao said earnestly.
Having Internal Energy that wasn't yet strong might be even more dangerous. If enemies found out, they might become more desperate to act.
This enemy might not be someone they'd provoked—it could be opposition forces from hostile nations.
"Honey, you probably shouldn't have even told me."
"The things I'm revealing are increasing, and the number of people who know about my situation is also growing. Aren't you worried?"
"A little."
Lin Chen smiled. "Telling you this should ease your mind. I know what I'm doing. I'll gradually reveal more things as my strength increases."
"Mmm-hmm." Xu Mengyao nodded.
Knowing that Lin Chen now possessed Internal Energy eased Xu Mengyao's worries considerably.
However, she knew that as his influence grew, his life would remain vulnerable to a single bullet.
Now that their lives were so sweet and beautiful, Xu Mengyao didn't want anything to happen.
"Honey, let's go to Mount Tai tomorrow," she suddenly said. "We can go to pray for blessings."
Lin Chen glanced at her. "Are you serious, wife? With your petite frame, can you really climb Mount Tai?"
Xu Mengyao replied in a sweet voice, "I exercise regularly. But Qianqian will definitely want to join us. You said you were in good health—can you carry her up the mountain?"
"Of course," Lin Chen replied with a grin. "How should we get there?"
Xu Mengyao checked her phone. "The nearest airport is over a hundred kilometers away. By the time we drive to the airport, fly there, and take a car to the base of the mountain, it'll be afternoon."
"We won't have enough time to climb the mountain."
Lin Chen thought for a moment. "Then let's drive there."
"Huh?" Xu Mengyao stared at him blankly.
Lin Chen smiled. "Now that you mention it, I'd love to go pray for blessings too. It seems the heavens brought you all to me."
"This is a rare experience for us and Qianqian. I'll drive there tonight and we can start climbing Mount Tai tomorrow morning."
"No matter how steep the path or how far we go, as long as our family is together, that's all that matters."
Xu Mengyao said, "But you'll be exhausted. I can drive for the first half of the night to share the load, but if I stay up all night, I won't have the energy to climb tomorrow."
Lin Chen chuckled. "I can stay awake for days without issue."
"You know nothing about your husband's stamina. But you'll learn soon enough."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"You're driving all night and climbing Mount Tai tomorrow?" Yang Qingyue asked, stunned.
She reached out and touched Xu Mengyao's forehead. "You don't have a fever. Will you really have the energy to climb after going there? And how will you manage with Xiaoqian?"
"Husband said it's fine."
Xu Guofeng added, "Honey, they're young and Lin Chen is sensible. If they say it's okay, then let them go. Youth is meant for wild abandon."
"Xiao Lin, are you sure you can do this?" Yang Qingyue asked, looking at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded. "Mom, I'm definitely fine."
"Alright then," Yang Qingyue relented. "Take a shower before you leave."
"Yay!" Lin Xiaoqian cheered, her excitement palpable.
An hour later, Xu Mengyao drove off. Their destination was 800 kilometers away, a journey that would take over eight hours.
"They're crazy," Yang Qingyue said, shaking her head as she watched the car disappear into the distance.
Xu Guofeng chuckled. "But that's youth. We've lost ours, but they still have it."
"They can just go on a spontaneous trip."
"I'm still worried," Yang Qingyue admitted.
"If it were just Mengyao, I wouldn't have agreed. But with Lin Chen along, we don't need to worry."
"Hmm."
Two hours later, Lin Xiaoqian had fallen asleep. She had folded paper airplanes, sung songs, and listened to fairy tales.
"Honey, pull into the next service area," Xu Guofeng said. "You get some rest; I'll drive from here."
Lin Chen said.
Xu Mengyao replied, "Honey, I can drive a little longer."
"Be good. You won't have any energy tomorrow if you don't rest properly."
"Alright then."
Soon, Lin Chen took over the driving.
"Honey, I want a bedtime story too," Xu Mengyao said playfully.
"No problem," Lin Chen replied with a smile, and he quickly began telling a story.
Telling stories to Xu Mengyao didn't earn him experience points, but after five minutes, he started gaining driving experience.
With this long road trip, he would gain over a dozen hours of experience points in total. His mountaineering experience would also increase significantly the next day.
After a night passed, Xu Mengyao woke up. With Lin Chen driving, she felt secure and had slept well.
"Honey, are we there yet?" Xu Mengyao asked, looking out the window.
Lin Chen had already pulled the car into the hotel parking lot.
"Yeah, we're at the hotel."
"Let's rest a bit, freshen up, and have breakfast before we go mountain climbing," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Honey, I love you. Happy birthday."
In the back seat, Lin Xiaoqian woke up groggily. "Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you too."
Lin Chen beamed. "I love you both too."
Five minutes later, they were in the hotel room.
Lin Xiaoqian wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck and kissed his cheek. "Daddy, I love you! I want to kiss you!"
"Mommy, you kiss Daddy too!"
Xu Mengyao approached, her face flushed red.
Lin Chen reached out with his other arm to embrace her, his left arm around his goddess wife and his right arm around his daughter. One word: *Awesome!*
*Smooch.*
Xu Mengyao also kissed Lin Chen.
*Smooch, smooch!*
Lin Chen kissed Xu Mengyao and Lin Xiaoqian in return.
Lin Xiaoqian seemed to have discovered a new continent at that moment.
"Daddy, Mommy, there's only one bed."
"Can we all sleep together?"
