Light Estate.

Finished
The master bedroom on the second floor was the picture of understated luxury. A thick carpet softened every step, sunlight streamed through the massive windowpanes, the breeze lifting the sheer curtains so the light washed across the room in warm gold.
On the black bed, a girl lay quietly. Sunlight traced the delicate curve of her profile, her hair spilling like seaweed across the pale-gold sheets. Her skin was as fine as carved jade, her features already ripening into breathtaking beauty.
The door opened with the faintest sound.
A man stepped in, his pace measured, his presence commanding. He wore a perfectly tailored double- breasted coat, elegant and austere. Two years had honed him further, deepening his charm but sharpening his coldness.
He moved to the bedside and sat, brushing aside the strands of hair draped over her shoulder. His gaze softened, a trace of tenderness stirring as he studied her serene, unchanging face.
Almost two years. Her body had grown even in sleep-her features more refined, her lashes like dark fans casting shadows over her cheeks. The childish softness had faded, leaving the shape of a woman whose eyes, once open, could shatter hearts.
If not for the rise and fall of her breath, and the words she had spoken before slipping into this state, Sebastian sometimes wondered if he would have lost his mind long ago,
His fingers traced her cheek, and a rare smile touched his mouth. He bent and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
“Little lazybones,” he murmured. “Good morning. I have to go out today, so I can’t stay. Sleep well. I’ll be back to have dinner with you tonight p>
He tucked the quilt carefully around her before rising to leave.
As he turned, the faintest flicker stirred on the bed-her fingers moved, just barely.
Downstairs, Foster was already waiting. The moment his boss descended, he stepped forward respectfully. “Sir, the meeting is arranged. All department heads are present p>
Sebastian accepted the folder and slid into the car. It pulled away toward Empire Group, unimpeded.
Back in the bedroom, the girl’s body began to glow. A soft blue radiance shimmered over her skin, deepening shade by shade, pulsing outward in ripples. Her long hair shifted from sea-blue to near black, her pale skin luminous, her presence ethereal.
The glow lasted for more than an hour before her eyes fluttered open-eyes like stars, dazzling for an instant with blue light before fading back to calm.
Lillian sat up slowly, scanning the unfamiliar room. She knew at once this was Sebastian’s estate.

Chapter 170 Two Years Later
For two years, her body had slept-but her consciousness had never left. She had heard every word Sebastian spoke at her side, but she had been unable to leave the space.

The vein she absorbed had been too vast. She had trained endlessly, absorbing its energy, and it had taken her more than a year to finish. When the power was finally hers, she still couldn’t break free-until she mastered the ninth and final layer of her cultivation. Only then did the barrier shatter.
She eased herself to the floor, her body stiff from so long in bed. Step by step she crossed to the window, gazing out at the early spring garden, the bare branches, the busy servants.
After washing up, she wandered into the walk-in closet-hundreds of square feet lined with clothing. One side was Sebastian’s; the other, astonishingly, all women’s wear. She lifted a tag and saw her own size.
A small smile tugged at her lips. She slipped on a pale yellow cardigan, a pair of shoes, and opened the door.
When she descended the staircase, the maids froze mid-task. One dropped her rag with a clatter, staring at the girl in shock.
Lillian walked down with quiet grace, smiling faintly. “Is there a problem p>
At that moment Louis entered from outside. He began to scold the servants for idling—then saw her.
His words stuck in his throat. “M-Ms. Ms. Lillian p>
Her smile widened, eyes bright. “It’s been a while, Louis. I’m hungry p>
His
eyes
reddened instantly. Emotion shook his voice. “Yes-of course! I’ll have the kitchen start at once!” He hurried off, unable to hide his joy.
