Unknowingly, Venom has been training for 8 hours now.

On Feng Mu’s retina, a summary notification pops up:

During Venom’s training, it mainly practices an even spread of techniques, all carefully taught by its father, each being a priceless treasure.

Venom would never favor one over another, nor would it abandon the old for the new.

Each must be practiced, balancing everything out evenly.

Old techniques should be reviewed daily, and new techniques should be mastered as quickly as possible.

[Venom successfully mastered "Thunder Shock Leg"]

[Venom comprehended the essentials of "Star-Picking Hand"]

[Substitute Food effect triggered]

[You have learned "Thunder Shock Leg," currently Beginner (133/1000)]

[You have mastered "Star-Picking Hand," currently Beginner (189/1000)]

Father and son exchanged smiles, with Venom’s eyes full of joy.

The small problem was that martial arts training kept increasing, and they couldn’t keep up, really couldn’t keep up.

But Venom never felt this "burden of love" was suffocating, it savored it, relished it greatly, and even felt extremely happy~

Anything given by its father was gladly accepted by it, the more given, the more it could feel the warmth of being surrounded by fatherly love.

As for not keeping up with training?

That was just a small worry brought by happiness.

Ultimately, it’s because of one’s limited talent!

Thinking this, Venom put even more effort into intense training, with the "puff puff" sound inside its body carrying a hint of a joyful rhythm.

Venom still wanted to train, but Feng Mu had to stop it.

"That’s enough for today. You can take a good rest for a while after this," Feng Mu said.

Feng Mu glanced down at his watch, calculating that it was almost time to leave.

Venom looked at Feng Mu eagerly.

Relax?

What is that?

That word didn’t exist in its dictionary (mainly consisting of Feng Mu’s sporadic words and children’s songs from kiddie rides)~

It was less than a month old, how could it relax, how dare it relax?

Feeling Venom’s emotional fluctuations, Feng Mu found the situation ridiculous.

It was all taught to Venom subconsciously, the latter accepted it well, just too intense, which made even him a little scared.

He wanted to tell Venom to work hard and rest well, but thinking about it, he thought this was best.

When the child is building their three views, the foundation should be laid extremely.

With this thought, Feng Mu picked up a refrigerated box from the table, then opened it, and said to Venom meaningfully:

"It was a slip of the tongue, not relax, but I have a more important task for you, for which you’ll have to delay training for a few days. Do you agree?"

Hearing this, Venom nodded vigorously, with its large eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Feng Mu then smiled and continued:

"Then come out of the shadow first, and temporarily parasitize in this head. During this period, you must hide yourself until..."

Feng Mu began to explain the details of this special mission in detail, and Venom listened attentively, fearing missing a single word.

For it, helping its father was far more meaningful than simple training.

Venom reluctantly left the shadow, gradually burrowing into the severed head...

Breaking away from shadow symbiosis, Venom could feel its already mediocre training talent plummet drastically.

Venom was extremely frustrated, but suddenly had an epiphany, thinking that this might also be an opportunity, after all, now parasitized in a brain, isn’t this just right for...fantasy-style training?!!

Even if this is just a brain that’s long been dead!

With a "click," the lock on the refrigerated box snapped shut.

Feng Mu picked up the box, glancing down at the suddenly lonely shadow at his feet.

Honestly, he felt more reluctant than Venom.

Venom’s attachment to the shadow was because it imparted it with martial arts talent, though that talent might be trivial in the father’s eyes.

Feng Mu’s reluctance was because he’d lost an all-day automatic training cheat.

"If only Venom could split in two after parasitizing into the shadow!"

A thought crossed Feng Mu’s mind, and he walked out with the refrigerated box, muttering to himself,

"I really went all out on this gift, hoping Li Hanyu recognizes its value!"

In the hallway, members of the Internal Inspection Department had long lined up, eagerly awaiting, with pairs of expectant eyes casting their way.

Every time before heading out, facing such a formation always made Feng Mu feel like an emperor choosing concubines, choosing who to take or not became a matter of consideration.

Feng Mu’s gaze swept over the faces of the people, randomly picking Gong Qi, Liu Yi, and Jiang Li.

The selected trio immediately beamed with joy, eyes shining with excitement;

The ones not selected couldn’t hide their disappointment on their faces, yet maintained a straight posture.

Looking at this scene, Feng Mu couldn’t help but shake his head privately, having fervent subordinates focused on him is also a sweet burden.

This sincerity tends to give him an inexplicable sense of guilt~

Luckily, he’s a villain, accustomed to guilt!

Feng Mu smiled gently, handing the refrigerated box to Gong Qi.

Liu Yi and Jiang Li promptly stepped forward to clear the way, and when Feng Mu stepped out the door, the special car was already parked steadily, with the door politely open.

It’s hard to say just how many times Jiang Li and Liu Yi practiced the seemingly ordinary pick-up and drop-off process in private.
