Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Ah Yin's Surprise – “Is This Drinkable?”

Su Ming was somewhat taken aback by the third rule. So when he live-streamed, Xiao Wu and the others were indeed watching. Good thing he hadn't recorded anything too embarrassing—it would've been quite awkward! Now, thinking back, it had been a while since he'd done any live broadcasts. Given what he knew, setting up a few streams could help everyone increase their strength faster.

If it weren't for the awkwardness of the diaries' exposure, he'd probably want to broadcast every day to exploit the system.

System: ...

"One more thing, System. If being around me increases their odds of getting rewards, why haven't more of them approached me? Why hasn't Bo Saixi come off Seagod Island? Or Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong come to find me in Nuoding Academy? Are you behind this?"

Ding! Yes, Host. That's due to the fourth rule. To keep you safe and ensure the diary copies don't seem too abrupt, certain encounters are limited to specific moments.

Su Ming smirked to himself. How convenient—so the system had, in fact, forced everyone to stay hidden until the right time, lest he catch on too soon.

Thinking about it, though, it was a good thing. Early on, Bibi Dong was still heavily influenced by the evil energy of the Rakshasa God, with an obsessive grudge against Yu Xiaogang. In her shoes, he might have been tempted to capture him, reap the rewards, and ascend to godhood as soon as possible. But over time, she'd finally decided to execute Yu Xiaogang—an outcome he saw as positive.

"One last question—this world is truly a parallel realm, or was that just something you told me to keep me in the dark?"

Ding! Host, this world is indeed a parallel realm. Because of your presence, the original course of events has shifted. There's likely a primary world where the Tang God King still exists, though you currently don't have access to it.

Su Ming nodded, piecing it together. So this is really a parallel world. I wonder if I'll get a chance to visit the main world? Or maybe I could even merge that realm with this one.

With his questions answered, Su Ming finally relaxed, disappearing from his room.

"Su Ming, why are you here?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, though she was secretly hopeful about his intentions.

"Rongrong, I just wanted to check in and talk about meeting your father in a few days. I'm concerned it might be hard on you."

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "I know what you're thinking, Su Ming. As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has some autonomy under Spirit Hall, I think my father will agree. Given your position, he'd be open to negotiation. I just worry about my two grandfathers—they're impulsive, and I'd hate for any fighting to break out."

Su Ming could hear the concern in her voice. "Don't worry, Rongrong. I wouldn't let Spirit Hall interfere too much with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's autonomy. Your father can still manage the clan's inner workings. We'll only ask for support when Spirit Hall needs assistance. After recent events, I'm sure the empires will grow wary of Spirit Hall, and a war to unify the continent could be inevitable."

With that, Su Ming gently scooped Ning Rongrong into his arms, laying her on the soft bed.

"Su Ming, what are you doing?" she stammered, a blush coloring her cheeks.

"Let's not worry about those things right now," he chuckled. "Leave it all to me. For now, I just want to…"

After an evening of passion, Su Ming felt refreshed. Ning Rongrong, face flushed, lay beside him. Perhaps from missing his presence, she was unusually agreeable, obliging every whim he had without hesitation, even bearing a faint trace of milk at the corner of her mouth.

There was truth to the saying, "It's not the Yin-Yang Dual Lotus that's hard to sustain—it's the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that's invaluable." The enhancements from the four boosts—strength, speed, soul power, and defense—proved thrilling.

Su Ming felt completely revitalized and couldn't help but revel in the evening's memories. How easily one could lose themselves, he thought with a smile.

"Ah Yin, could you check if Uncle Ning and Sword Grandpa have returned from Gengxin City?"

He didn't care if Ah Yin had witnessed the night's events; they were both women, after all, and besides, perhaps…

In his mental space, Ah Yin flushed at Su Ming's unspoken thoughts. Pervert! she muttered. Although she had witnessed similar scenes many times before, Su Ming's stamina was remarkable, and his boldness was astonishing. She couldn't believe he'd offered Ning Rongrong milk halfway through—could that really be consumed?

Without complaint, Ah Yin tuned into the surrounding blue silver grass to sense Ning Fengzhi's movements. She discovered that Ning Fengzhi was speeding toward them, escorted by Gu Rong, and she was surprised—only a day had passed since they'd heard the news.


Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Ning Fengzhi Arrives

"Su Ming, based on feedback from the blue silver grass, Gu Rong has brought Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to Spirit City. With Gu Rong's capabilities, they'll probably arrive within a day or two."

Su Ming was a bit surprised. It seemed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's intelligence network was quite extensive if they'd arrived so quickly. Ning Fengzhi must have just returned to the clan when he received the news. And this time, it was Bone Grandpa who accompanied him.

Over the next two days, Su Ming alternated between spending time with his companions and discussing policy matters with Bibi Dong. With Spirit Hall set to establish a nation in a month, many tasks needed handling—such as Spirit Master's subsidies. Previously, the funds came from agreements with the two empires. But once they established their nation, those arrangements would be broken, and Spirit Hall would bear the entire burden of funding. Fortunately, Spirit Hall had established various businesses across the continent over the years, amassing considerable wealth, almost rivaling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

"Su Ming," Bibi Dong asked, "once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan becomes an affiliate, do you think we could have them contribute a portion of the funds?"

She didn't want to impose on the clan if Spirit Hall could manage, but supporting Spirit Masters across the continent and funding the development of remote regions required substantial resources.

After considering for a moment, Su Ming replied, "Teacher, let me handle the discussions if they do become an affiliate. I have some conditions in mind that I believe will benefit both Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."

Bibi Dong nodded. "Go ahead."

Su Ming explained, "We could allocate resources based on contributions. For example, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan funds thirty percent, we could allocate thirty percent of our top talent to them. Uncle Ning has always valued talent. Given that their core members are support-type Spirit Masters, they're in great need of offensive and defensive Spirit Masters. Uncle Ning has spent a fortune to hire them."

Bibi Dong agreed, seeing that the arrangement would ease Spirit Hall's burden.

Later that morning, as Su Ming was preparing to leave, he sensed two familiar presences approaching. "Teacher, I'll excuse myself now," he said and vanished.

In an instant, Su Ming appeared at Spirit City's gate, smiling as he greeted them. "Uncle Ning, Grandpa Bone, welcome. I've been expecting you for days."

But Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were both captivated by the sight of Yu Xiaogang's body hanging from the city walls, momentarily forgetting to respond.

"And this…master?" Ning Fengzhi asked, frowning.

Su Ming replied, "Uncle Ning, there's a long story behind that. I assume you're not here today because of Yu Xiaogang?"

"Let's go; I've prepared a lunch so we can discuss this comfortably," he continued, teleporting them to a private dining room.

Gu Rong gave Su Ming a curious glance, his tone half-mocking. "Su Ming, that spatial ability of yours has improved quite a bit! No wonder you joined Spirit Hall—did you plan on leaving Rongrong behind?"

Su Ming sighed, "Grandpa Bone, I know you're upset, but you know me better than anyone."

Gu Rong scoffed. "Hmph. Who knows if that was all just an act?"

He fell silent after that, recognizing that Su Ming likely had his reasons but still concerned about Ning Rongrong's future. After all, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan supported the Heaven Dou Empire, while Spirit Hall was their adversary.

Once Gu Rong had calmed down, Su Ming turned to Ning Fengzhi. "Uncle Ning, Grandpa Bone, please, ask away."

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and sat down, his face bearing a gentle smile. "Su Ming, I have a few questions. First, have you considered Rongrong's feelings? With your intellect, you should be aware of the current state of the continent."

Su Ming nodded. "Of course, I know. And I'm sure you've also heard why I left Heaven Dou Empire."

Ning Fengzhi replied, "I've heard. But could it really be just because of your commoner background and their noble hierarchy? Snow Night Emperor would surely have granted you nobility in recognition of winning the championship. I want to hear your true intentions."

Su Ming responded, "Uncle Ning, that's indeed my official reason, but my real motivation goes deeper. Spirit Hall, strictly speaking, is an organization for the people, except for the Angel Shrine. Everyone—from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to Hu Liena and Xie Yue—comes from ordinary backgrounds. Even Bibi Dong, my teacher, was once an ordinary person. In Spirit Hall, as long as one has ability, they can rise. This system suits my ambitions better."

"And of course, it's not just the system; it's the opportunity Bibi Dong, my teacher, has given me—to be Spirit Hall's Holy Son with authority second only to her own.
