158: Chapter 158 Taking the Goddess on a Trip, Qian Renxue Confesses?

Bringing Ah Yin back to Heaven Dou City, because Ah Yin's favorability was only in the twenties, she could not merge with Su Ling.

Therefore, the two of them did not travel as fast as Su Ling alone.

Su Ling and Ah Yin got along quite well. Although Ah Yin retained her memories, returning to her youth seemed to have restored a bit of her girlish heart.

It took the two of them almost half a month to return to Heaven Dou City.

Instead of going home first, he took Ah Yin to the Sunset Forest, heading first to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he found a spot and planted the Blue Silver King and sixteen stalks of Blue Silver Grass.

To avoid detection, Su Ling planted them on the outskirts and used a high-level Formation to conceal them.

At the same time, Su Ling harvested some medicinal herbs that had recently matured.

At this moment, there were not many mature herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; most of the good ones were seedlings. Dugu Bo must have discovered them.

And precisely because they were seedlings and not yet mature, Dugu Bo would likely visit even less frequently in the future.

With the help of the high-level defensive Formation for concealment, and since the Blue Silver Grass grew in the soil, their growth remained completely unaffected.

After planting them, Ah Yin's favorability increased by another three points, earning Su Ling two white treasure chests.

After settling the Blue Silver King, Su Ling took Ah Yin to search for her seventh spirit ring in the Sunset Forest. Ah Yin successfully advanced to a Rank 71 Spirit Saint.

Shortly after, the two returned together to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion. Seeing Su Ling bring back another goddess, the women were already accustomed to it and could accept it.

They could also accept Ah Yin. After all, with favorability at this level, they not only had to accept her, but the women would also praise Su Ling, essentially trying to rope Ah Yin in.

Ah Yin naturally would not speak ill of Su Ling; after all, she had been forcibly made to acknowledge him as master, so how could she say anything bad?

After dropping Ah Yin off, Su Ling went to visit Liu Erlong.

Upon arriving, Su Ling saw Liu Erlong watering plants in the courtyard. At this time, Liu Erlong's Soul Power had improved significantly.

"Su Ling, you're back?" Liu Erlong immediately stopped her work and ran over to Su Ling's side.

"Sister Liu, it seems you've improved a lot," Su Ling said.

Liu Erlong said with a hint of regret, "I only reached the Peak of Rank 96. I was just a little bit away from reaching Rank 97."

This was indeed a pity; a 100,000-year spirit ring had only raised her from Rank 95 to the Peak of Rank 96.

"Is it just a little bit?" Su Ling asked.

Liu Erlong nodded and said, "Yes, just a little bit. If you give me three more months, I have an 80% chance of a Breakthrough, and within half a year, it's 100%."

Su Ling said, "Sister Liu, that time is too short; it's not enough."

After speaking, Su Ling took out the 50,000-year Spirit Bone he had prepared for Liu Erlong.

"Sister Liu, you're only missing this head Spirit Bone. Merging with this should be worth half a year's effort for you."

"A head Spirit Bone?"

Another 50,000-year Spirit Bone, of excellent quality.

"Su Ling, thank you!" Liu Erlong said. Without saying anything more, she prepared to absorb it immediately.

"Sister Liu, three days from now, I will come back to give you a 100,000-year spirit ring. By then, I will be leaving," Su Ling said.

"Hmm, then we'll see each other in three days." Liu Erlong immediately went into the room to start absorbing the Spirit Bone, and Su Ling returned once again to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion.

Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After Su Ling left, she also returned.

"Rongrong, you must do your best in this training, and also thank Su Ling on our behalf for helping Grandpa Sword and Bone Douluo achieve their Breakthroughs," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Dad, I know. Grandpa Sword broke through to Rank 97, and Grandpa Bone broke through to Rank 96. This time, we will definitely win," Ning Rongrong said, raising her fist.

Previously, Ning Rongrong had been very worried, but now, seeing the Sect's preparations, as well as the Breakthroughs of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi, she felt at ease about leaving.

"Okay Dad, I will definitely pass on the message," Ning Rongrong said.

"Then I'm leaving!"

Watching Ning Rongrong leave, Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh and said, "If this were someone other than Su Ling, I wouldn't have agreed to Rongrong being with him."

"This kid, sigh... his luck with women is too good," Sword Douluo said.

"However, Fengzhi, you need to keep working hard over these years. You've only fathered six children; that is far from enough," Bone Douluo said.

"Ah... six isn't enough?" Ning Fengzhi said.

Sword Douluo said, "Can you guarantee how many of those six can Awaken the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit?"

"This... I can only wait until they Awaken to see. I hope they can all Awaken the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. That way, as long as it's passed down through three or four generations, our Sect's Spirit can basically be fixed as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Keep working hard, and strive for that number to exceed ten before Rongrong returns," Sword Douluo said.

"I'm already at this age... sigh, I'll keep trying."

Ning Fengzhi.

"Haha, that's right!"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo laughed simultaneously.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, didn't you say before that as long as I have ten more, you would also find someone else to father offspring?" Ning Fengzhi said.

"This, we probably can't do that," Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at each other and both reached a conclusion.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I don't want your Spirits and Legacy to end with your generation. You must consider it," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Wait until you've had ten before we talk about it," Sword Douluo said.

"Fine, I'll go back and work hard now." After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he ran back, looking like he was serious.

Next, Su Ling stayed at home for three days, sometimes taking the women out for a stroll.

After all, they were going on a long journey, and every goddess needed to purchase the items they required.

Within these three days, Yang Qingyu also brought Bai Chenxiang over. Hearing that Su Ling was going to take her for training, Bai Chenxiang was very happy.

At this time, Bai Chenxiang had also made great progress, her Soul Power having increased to Rank 52, much stronger than when she went for training in the original story.

With everyone present, it was time to set off.

Su Ling came to Liu Erlong's place again. Liu Erlong had already finished absorbing the Spirit Bone, and her Soul Power had also increased to Rank 97.

Possessing a second Spirit made increasing Soul Power fast. So, Su Ling gave her another 100,000-year spirit ring.

With the blessing of this spirit ring, Liu Erlong should be able to reach Rank 98.

The Rank 98 level had already widened the gap with ordinary Titled Douluo; after all, even in Spirit Hall, there weren't many Titled Douluo at Rank 98 or above.

There were only Qian Daoliu and Gold Crocodile Douluo.

However, this time, Liu Erlong did not immediately absorb the spirit ring, but instead interacted with Su Ling first, allowing Su Ling to gain a black treasure chest.

In fact, during these three days, Su Ling hadn't been idle.

With so many goddesses around, how could there not be interaction?

In three days, he had obtained a total of nine treasure chests: four purple, three black, and two red treasure chests. The harvest was quite good.

Su Ling stayed at Liu Erlong's place until night.

At night, Su Ling also returned home, while Liu Erlong was absorbing the 100,000-year spirit ring.

The previous spirit ring had allowed Liu Erlong to rise from Rank 95.5 to the Peak of Rank 96, just a sliver away from Rank 97.

And this spirit ring should have no problem taking her from the beginning of Rank 97 to Rank 98.

This night, Su Ling rested.

There were still goddesses around him, such as Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Yang Qingyu, and Bai Chenxiang, whom he hadn't fully conquered yet.

Originally, he could have conquered them in these few days, but Su Ling felt that now was not the best time.

After all, they were going to Sea God Island for assessments, and every assessment was not simple, so Su Ling saved these opportunities to improve strength for that time.

If they couldn't keep up and the difficulty of the assessment increased, then he could come in for a round.

Wouldn't that give the goddesses a big boost?

Early the next morning!

The women were ready to set off, and several carriages were prepared.

But just as they were about to leave, two women walked over from afar.

"Sister, we arrived just in time; Brother Su is about to leave."

"Yes, you arrived just at the right time."

Su Ling looked over from afar; who else could it be but Shui Binger and Shui Yueer?

"Brother Su!" Shui Yueer immediately shouted.

"It's been so long, Brother Su has become even more handsome."

After walking closer, Shui Yueer's eyes lit up. She was still the same as before, a fan of handsome looks.

[Ding... Shui Yueer favorability +4, obtained white treasure chest *3, yellow treasure chest *1]

"Yueer, long time no see. You've also become more beautiful and have grown up."

"Binger, didn't you go to that place of Legacy? How did you come back so soon?" Su Ling asked.

"Yes, I went with Mom and Bing Qilin. I also obtained part of the Legacy," Shui Binger said.

"Brother Su, it was my sister who gave the opportunity for the final Legacy to that Bing Qilin. Otherwise, my sister would still be there accepting the assessment at that Legacy place!" Shui Yueer said.

"Binger, what exactly is going on?" Su Ling asked.

Shui Binger said, "There is only one successor for the Ice Phoenix God. I gave the final assessment opportunity to Little Lin, and I believe she can do it."

Shui Binger was just that kind and yielding!

"Although I gave it to Little Lin, my gains this time were also very good, and that's enough," Shui Binger smiled.

"Hee hee, that's because my sister wanted to come find you, Brother Su," Shui Yueer said.

"Alright, since you gave it up, Binger, that's no problem. We are about to go to a new place for training; you and Yueer can come with us," Su Ling said.

"Hmm!" Shui Binger nodded.

Shui Yueer and Shui Binger also followed Su Ling onto the carriage.

Three carriages, a total of fourteen people, with only Su Ling as the man. Originally, Su Ling had intended to bring Ma Hongjun and Oscar, but these two guys hadn't returned from their training yet.

Su Ling couldn't wait for them forever, so he had to leave first.

At this moment, among the fourteen people, Su Ling was Rank 90, Hu Liena Rank 76, Ah Yin Rank 71, Jiang Zhu and Ye Lingling Rank 64, Xiao Wu Rank 63, Zhu Zhuxin and Ning Rongrong Rank 62, Feng Yuer and Zhu Zhuqing Rank 61, Yang Qingyu Rank 57, and Bai Chenxiang Rank 52.

The progress of Shui Binger, who came last, was truly significant. Having stayed at the Ice Phoenix Legacy place for more than a year, she successfully advanced to Rank 67.

Among them, only Shui Yueer's Soul Power was slightly lower, only Rank 44.

Her talent wasn't particularly good to begin with. When the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament ended, she had just advanced from Rank 36 to Rank 37. Being able to advance to Rank 44 meant she had already worked very hard.

Leaving Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue did not come to see them off.

It wasn't until Su Ling had left Heaven Dou City for twenty li that he discovered a carriage waiting ahead.

Whose carriage could this be if not Qian Renxue's?

Su Ling's three carriages stopped, and he got out.

"You guys rest for a while, I'll be right back." After saying that, Su Ling walked toward Qian Renxue.

"Big Brother, I didn't see you today, I thought you wouldn't come to see me off." Su Ling went up and gave Qian Renxue a bear hug, holding her tightly.

Qian Renxue, being held by Su Ling, no longer felt the discomfort she used to have, feeling it was very natural.

"Su Ling, you don't know how long you'll be gone this time, so naturally, I had to come to see you off," Qian Renxue said.

"Big Brother, let's go over there to talk," Su Ling said.

"That's what I was thinking too," Qian Renxue said.

Although they said it wasn't far, they actually walked for a long time until they reached an uninhabited area, more than a thousand meters away from the carriages.

"This place is good," Qian Renxue said.

"Big Brother, bringing me so far, is there something special?" Su Ling asked.

"Su Ling, you said before that no matter what my status is, would you support me?" Qian Renxue looked at Su Ling with a serious face.

Su Ling looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression and said, "Big Brother, what is this really about?"

"What I said is naturally true. I will definitely support you, Big Brother. No matter what your status is, I only recognize you as a person, not your status," Su Ling also said with a serious face.

Hearing Qian Renxue's meaning, Su Ling could roughly guess it.

She might be planning to take the initiative to reveal her identity to him, which actually surprised him.

Originally, Su Ling had intended to clarify things with Qian Renxue when he returned this time.

But a series of events made Su Ling forget.

"Good, very good!" Qian Renxue heard Su Ling's words again and was very happy in her heart.

[Ding... Qian Renxue favorability +3, obtained purple treasure chest *2, black treasure chest *1]

Qian Renxue's favorability soared directly to 89 points.

"Su Ling, wait a moment, there is one thing I want to confess to you." Golden light flashed on Qian Renxue's body, and her body began to change.

A golden dress appeared on her, and her image changed in an instant.

Qian Renxue's beauty was officially revealed before Su Ling.

The Rank 99 Goddess comprehensive value was indeed no joke.

"Big Brother... Big Brother, you, you are?" Su Ling deliberately looked surprised and stammered.

Qian Renxue said, "Su Ling, to tell you the truth, my name is Qian Renxue, and I am the Young Lord of Spirit Hall. The real Xue Qinghe was killed by me more than a decade ago, and I have been disguising myself as Xue Qinghe."

"Big Brother... er, what should I call you now? Did Big Brother become Big Sister?" Su Ling said.

In front of Su Ling, Qian Renxue smiled slightly and said, "The words 'Big Sister' make me sound like I'm very old. Why not call me Sister?"

"Sister?" Su Ling was stunned, his expression like this.

"Hmm! Little Brother Su Ling." Qian Renxue smiled again, smiling very happily. At this moment, she felt very relaxed, without hiding, and was back to being herself.

Originally, she didn't want to confess to Su Ling, but in her heart, she couldn't help but want to tell Su Ling.

Moreover, with Su Ling's growing strength, sooner or later, he would discover it.

Telling him early meant the initiative remained with her.

Especially since Su Ling was going to Sea God Island for training this time, once he returned, he would definitely become a Titled Douluo. After becoming a Titled Douluo, how many people on the continent could deal with Su Ling?

So, saying it at this time was best; saying it later might be too late.

After all, taking the initiative to confess clearly and Su Ling discovering it himself were two different concepts.

For someone like Su Ling, winning him over depends on sincerity.
