68: Chapter 68: Favorability Increases Again, Xiao Wu Falls in Love with Me

After Su Ling left with Ah Yin, Tang Hao seemed to have gone mad, nearly destroying that entire mountain.

Pfft!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ah Yin's departure caused Tang Hao's previous injuries to worsen significantly.

"My time may be running out. Little San, it seems we need to speed up the process," Tang Hao whispered.

...

Ten days later, in Star Luo City.

Su Ling arrived in Star Luo City once again. Xiao Wu's favorability had reached 79. For no other reason, even if Tang Hao were here to threaten him, he had to find a way to raise Xiao Wu's favorability above 80.

This time, Su Ling again wore the thousand illusion mask. The reason he was recognized by Tang Hao before was because he had spent a long time with Xiao Wu during those few days.

Sometimes he hadn't used the thousand illusion mask, and Xiao Wu kept calling him Brother Su; it was not strange that Tang Hao knew his identity under those circumstances.

By changing his disguise and with the support of Su Ling's Mental Energy, as long as he didn't reveal himself, Tang Hao would absolutely not be able to tell.

Still, he found someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Wu, and Su Ling found a place to rest and wait.

[Ding... Detected a Goddess with a composite value exceeding 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Zhu Zhuyun]

[Goddess composite value: 93]

[Binding requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current favorability: Unknown]

Huh, Zhu Zhuyun is nearby.

Su Ling was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant, watching the street below. Before long, a short-haired woman appeared before his eyes. Who else could it be but Zhu Zhuyun?

It had to be said that Zhu Zhuyun was also very beautiful. She lacked some of the youthful immaturity of Zhu Zhuxin and Zhu Zhuqing, appearing more mature.

Her figure was equally outstanding. As she walked, she had quite the air of a mature woman, attracting the gazes of most people on the street.

After all, she was the fiancée of the First Prince Dai Weisi and potentially the future Empress of the Star Luo Empire. Coming from a great Family, her temperament was truly beyond reproach.

Because this road led to the Star Luo Royal Academy, Su Ling was waiting for Xiao Wu here.

Zhu Zhuyun seemed to notice Su Ling's gaze. She looked up, glanced at him, and immediately lowered her head.

Although Su Ling's current appearance was disguised as a young man, he just looked ordinary.

However, just from that one glance, Zhu Zhuyun's initial favorability appeared. Apart from the negative favorability that had appeared with Ah Yin before, now a favorability of 0 appeared.

How should one put it?

Zhu Zhuyun had no malice toward Su Ling, nor did she have any affection for him.

As for Zhu Zhuyun, Su Ling didn't have much affection for her either. After all, she had been with Dai Weisi for too long, their feelings already deep after day and night together; that hidden panel might have already been tempered into black.

Putting that aside, he already had Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuxin would be soon as well.

As for this Zhu Zhuyun, Su Ling really didn't want to go out of his way to grind favorability.

While drinking tea, Su Ling kept watching.

After waiting for about half an hour, Su Ling finally spotted his target—Xiao Wu had arrived.

Xiao Wu looked very happy, skipping along as she walked, a bit excessively energetic.

Since Xiao Wu had arrived, Su Ling immediately activated the Eye of True Sight to scan the surroundings.

After looking around, Su Ling did not find any sign of Tang Hao.

Xiao Wu arrived downstairs, then looked at the letter and compared the address information.

"This is the place."

"Su... uh, I can't call him that. I should call him Brother Feng. Why does he want to be called that name?" Xiao Wu was a bit confused, but she followed what Su Ling had said to do.

Walking upstairs, as soon as she came up, Su Ling waved at Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, over here!" Su Ling's voice had changed.

"Feng... Brother Feng, is that you?" Xiao Wu asked.

Su Ling said: "It's me. Do you not even recognize me? Come, drink some water and eat some snacks; these were all prepared for you."

"Xiao Wu, it's me. It's not convenient to tell you the specific reasons right now. Last time I said I would take you out to have fun, go shopping, and buy things; today I am here to fulfill that promise," Su Ling transmitted his voice to Xiao Wu.

Looking in Su Ling's direction, Xiao Wu nodded.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony today." Xiao Wu had just sat down and taken a sip of water, then stood up, wanting to leave immediately.

Xiao Wu had been in a bad mood recently and had long wanted to vent, but she lacked gold coins, so she could only endure it.

"Let's go." Su Ling took out gold coins to settle the bill.

"Wait, pack this up for me; we can't waste it," Xiao Wu said. After all, the snacks on the table were not cheap.

"Sure," Su Ling said with a smile.

Before long, the two left together.

"Su... no, Brother Feng, I don't know what's going on lately. My brother seems like a different person; he's been getting very close to Dai Mubai, sigh..."

"And this time, when he went to search for his fourth spirit ring, he didn't even take me. I..." Xiao Wu felt very aggrieved.

Not long after they walked out, Xiao Wu poured out her recent unhappiness to Su Ling.

"He's already better? So fast!" Su Ling asked in confusion.

Xiao Wu said: "Sigh... I don't know where Great Master found a 100,000-year Spirit Bone. It has extremely strong vitality and healing abilities. After absorbing this Spirit Bone, my brother's injuries were completely healed."

"I don't know where this 100,000-year Spirit Bone was obtained from."

"Let's go, Brother Feng. Let's not talk about that. Actually, I've seen a lot of things recently, but they were too expensive and I couldn't bear to buy them, hee hee," Xiao Wu said with a playful smile.

"Alright, let's go buy, buy, buy," Su Ling said.

Tang San had gone to the Misty Forest to search for his fourth spirit ring, so Tang Hao was likely not here anymore.

This was a good thing; he could take this opportunity to win over Xiao Wu.

As for Ah Yin's 100,000-year Spirit Bone, Su Ling also knew why it wasn't there anymore.

It turned out it had been used by Tang San.

This period was a critical moment for the improvement of Soul Power.

The injuries caused by Tang San's failed absorption of the spirit ring were very serious. In the Spirit Master's world, this was recognized as one of the most severe injuries, almost irreversible.

Being able to survive was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Even if he survived, the impact on his future would be significant; he was practically crippled.

Of course, Su Ling was an exception, because the System helped him recover.

And it was very normal for Tang Hao to immediately take out that Spirit Bone to save Tang San.

That day, Su Ling accompanied Xiao Wu the whole time—shopping, having lunch, then continuing to shop, then having dinner, and after dinner, they even went to attend an auction.

Until they finished a late-night snack, Su Ling and Xiao Wu went to the Star Luo Royal Academy together.

At the entrance of the academy, the two were about to part ways.

"Brother Su, this has been the happiest day I've had in the last few months. Thank you for accompanying me and spending so many gold coins on me. Actually, when I think about it now, many of those things weren't necessary. You are really good to me," Xiao Wu said with a sincere expression.
