152: They should be asleep by now.

"What's inside this?"

"Oh, it's actually a necklace!"

Ye Yuaner opened the box, her eyes lighting up for a moment before she suddenly squinted. "You didn't give this same thing to everyone, did you?"

"Aunt Ye, let me put it on for you."

Su Wen chose to avoid the topic, picking up the crystal necklace and draping it around her snow-white neck.

Ye Yuaner didn't resist. Su Wen's movements brought him so close she could feel his breath on the tip of her nose. Instantly, she stopped questioning him, her gaze fixed blankly on his eyes.

When Su Wen looked back at her, she slightly averted her gaze, feeling her cheeks grow warm.

"It looks good!"

A crystal phoenix necklace now adorned her slender, snow-white neck, dangling down toward her peaks.

It inspired quite a bit of imagination!

Su Wen was very satisfied with his gift.

"Hmph, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

Ye Yuaner felt a bit unnatural being stared at.

She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Tell me, who were you chatting with in the room just now?"

"No one special, I just picked up two dragons while I was out!"

Su Wen gave a mischievous grin.

He had nothing to hide from Ye Yuaner.

Besides, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings would eventually have to come out and help him fight.

It couldn't be hidden forever.

He briefly recounted what had happened in the spring.

He specifically emphasized that they were very strong.

Ye Yuaner was displeased.

Little Wen had entered an Underworld Marriage with two more.

It felt a bit out of control.

Counting them now, there were already quite a few.

Clearly, Little Wen had grown stronger again, a situation that should have been gratifying, but she didn't feel good about it at all.

Yet Ye Yuaner didn't want to show it; she couldn't exactly tell the two of them to get lost, could she?

She could only tap Su Wen's chest lightly with her finger, offering a warning: "Pay attention and keep them in line. If I catch you doing anything you shouldn't, just you wait for me to lose my temper!"

Su Wen grinned and said, "I'll listen to everything Aunt Ye says."

Ye Yuaner rolled her eyes in annoyance. "It's been a while since I checked on your condition. Let me take a look."

"Aunt Ye..."

"Hurry up. Ensuring you grow up safe and sound is what I should do. I must be worthy of your mother and be responsible for your future."

"Then can we use the peaks today?"

Ye Yuaner was slightly stunned.

She pursed her red lips.

She didn't speak.

After a brief hesitation.

She found a pillow and threw it on the floor.

She placed her knees upon it.

She had read about it in books.

It was simply like this, then like that, and then still like this and that.

As the kettle on the table suddenly rolled off, water spilled onto Ye Yuaner's slender neck and over her chest.

Only then did the room slowly fall quiet.

Ye Yuaner touched her slightly flushed cheeks and her moist, red lips.

It was covered in water.

She touched the kettle lightly in shy annoyance.

She stood up and walked toward the bathroom.

Su Wen could only clean up the mess caused by the kettle himself.

"Little Wen?"

Just as he finished, Bi Ji's voice sounded at the door.

She then pushed the door open and walked in.

Bi Ji frowned slightly.

Before she could even ask.

Su Wen spoke awkwardly, asking, "Aunt Ye is washing up. Bi Ji, is there something wrong?"

"I forgot to give you something just now. It's a letter delivered by a Spirit Hall knight; it's been here for several days!"

Bi Ji felt the atmosphere in the room was strange, yet she couldn't tell why.

She didn't take it to heart, pulling out a letter and handing it over.

"It should be from Xiao Wu!"

Su Wen had told Xiao Wu that if anything happened, she should send a letter to him via a Spirit Hall branch.

She had the Saint's token in her spirit tool.

No Spirit Hall branch would dare refuse her.

"This..."

Su Wen tore open the envelope, and the contents caused his pupils to contract slightly.

Xiao Wu mentioned that Tang San was often tinkering with strange things.

Something called Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, and sometimes he even mentioned spirit tools... their power could injure people twenty levels higher than the user.

Su Wen caught the key point.

spirit tools!

In this era on the continent, there should only be storage-type spirit tools.

Offensive spirit tools weren't supposed to appear for another five thousand years, and they wouldn't spread across the continent until ten thousand years later.

"Strange!"

"The more I read this, the more it feels like Tang San knows everything."

Su Wen read through all the contents. That dummy Xiao Wu couldn't see anything, she could only write down the odd occurrences, but he summarized one problem: it seemed Tang San had experienced a second Rebirth.

"I hope not, otherwise it really will be big trouble!"

Su Wen didn't dare imagine if Tang San had undergone a second Rebirth.

How much knowledge would he have!

He was an existence who had become a God King and had witnessed the historical development of the Douluo Continent.

He was a god; with a simple sweep of his Divine Sense, he could understand the structure of spirit tools on the Douluo Continent, Spirit Tool Armor, Spirit Cores... a whole series of things.

Even if he reincarnated, his mind would certainly contain that knowledge and experience.

Tang San didn't like spirit tools because they surpassed the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.

But since spirit tools didn't exist in this World yet, he could completely make them his own, perhaps even changing their name.

He had only wanted to confirm if the Asura God was watching from behind Tang San; he hadn't expected this kind of variable.

"What's wrong, Little Wen?"

Seeing Su Wen lost in thought, Bi Ji couldn't help but ask softly.

"It's nothing!"

Su Wen couldn't be sure yet; he could only wait for more information from Xiao Wu.

Even if Tang San really was reborn, he still needed time to grow.

"What are you chatting about?"

Ye Yuaner walked out of the bathroom, wearing tight black leather that highlighted her graceful curves, with a black and red garment draped over her shoulders that provided a bit of visual impact. As she approached, there was a hint of heroism in her brow.

If not for her fair skin being rosy and glowing with a slight sheen.

Su Wen really wouldn't have been able to guess what she had just been doing.

"Nothing."

When Bi Ji saw Ye Yuaner, her eyes held a smile.

Ye Yuaner was Su Wen's elder.

In the future, she would be her elder as well.

She could start by getting on her good side.

Should she give her a Spirit Bone?

Bi Ji pondered as she left. Seeing Su Wen staring at her chest, Ye Yuaner glared at him in annoyance: "If you spill it on my face again next time, watch out or I'll pinch you..."

"Come, let Aunt Ye give you a hug!"

Ye Yuaner's face suddenly changed again. It had been a long time since she spent the night with Su Wen.

She planned to have a good talk with him tonight and, by the way, ask in detail what he had been up to lately.

"Aunt Ye, I have to go to my teacher's place to Cultivate later."

"Hmph hmph, one day won't make a difference... Little Wen, I feel like you spend more time with the Supreme Pontiff than with me."

"That's not true..."

...Approaching midnight, in Bibi Dong's bedchamber, a maid walked in quickly.

She bowed slightly: "Your Holiness, the Saint sent someone to say he won't be Cultivating here tonight."

"Mhm!"

Bibi Dong sat before a bronze mirror, combing her hair.

She didn't feel anything particular; Little Wen had just returned and indeed needed a good night's rest.

She set down the wooden comb.

She waved her hand at the maid.

The room returned to silence.

A trace of emptiness appeared in her heart.

She was alone again in the vast bedchamber.

"Little Wen!"

After lying down for a long time, Bibi Dong felt a bit of insomnia.

She stood up, casually draped on some clothes, and walked out of the bedchamber.

She decided to go see what Su Wen was doing at this hour.

He should be... asleep by now!
