57: Three hours later

“Disciple, quickly eat something! Quickly!”

Old Wang couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he could only let Ning Village eat something.

Hey! He wasn't just eating randomly, you see. Ning Village had awakened a special Physique called the Gluttonous Divine Body, which allowed him to rapidly increase his strength by consuming various spirit-infused items!

It was precisely because of this Physique that Ning Village was able to rise so quickly from being a good-for-nothing!

Awakening this Physique was incredibly difficult; even emptying the entire imperial treasury might not be enough to awaken Ning Village's Physique.

This was also why Ning Village was initially considered a good-for-nothing.

Simply because!

The remote Qi Country was utterly incapable of nurturing Ning Village's special Physique!

Later, Ning Village accidentally fell on the road and rolled into a field, where he unexpectedly discovered Old Wang buried within the farmland!

Old Wang immediately saw that Ning Village possessed great destiny, so he gave all his precious collections to Ning Village, which led to the complete Awakening of Ning Village’s Gluttonous Divine Body.

However, even with all of Old Wang's resources, Ning Village's Gluttonous Divine Body was only half-awakened.

Ning Village's special Physique should actually be called the Gluttonous Divine Body! That's a being that can grow stronger even by eating excrement... In short, it can grow stronger no matter what it eats.

And after transforming into the Gluttonous Divine Body, one must consume items imbued with spiritual energy. The Gluttonous Divine Body can maximize the absorption of all spiritual energy within, without needing refinement, making it an extremely powerful existence!

“Disciple, how do you feel now?”

Old Wang asked with concern.

Ning Village was his key to reshaping his body and returning to his Peak; as long as he lived, he was willing to pay any price!

“Master, I feel much better now…”

Ning Village took deep breaths of fresh air. The feeling he had just experienced almost suffocated him.

“It’s good that you’re fine! What exactly happened?”

Old Wang also couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“I don’t know either…”

Ning Village gazed in the direction of the imperial palace, lost in thought.

In his memory, such a situation was not without precedent; it had happened when he learned that Shen Qingwan had been banished to the Imperial Harem!

At that time, Ning Village had also experienced that heart-wrenching, suffocating feeling.

“Could something have happened to Mother…”

Ning Village murmured to himself, then dismissed the thought.

The imperial palace was blessed by the nation's destiny. Although the Qi Country's national power was not as strong as before, nothing could go wrong without someone having the strength of a Quasi-Saint.

“I was overthinking it, it seems! But this also tells me that I need to get stronger quickly and then rescue Mother!”

Ning Village thought to himself.

……

“Good, good, good! It's actually a percentage-based bonus title! This is a good thing!”

Su Xuan thought to himself.

“This is like returning to liberation overnight!”

Looking at the Villain Points before him, Su Xuan smiled.

He recalled that when he emerged from the Tianwu Secret Realm, he had roughly the same amount of Villain Points.

Now, after some time had passed, he had only returned to his previous level!

What did this indicate? It meant that Su Xuan still needed to work harder!

“Hus… husband…”

Shen Qingwan looked at Su Xuan with affectionate eyes.

Under the blessing of Su Xuan's Model of Our Generation skill, Shen Qingwan was truly overwhelmed, and before long, she was utterly impressed by Su Xuan.

Simply because.

Su Xuan possessed a “powerful” personal charm.

Shen Qingwan willingly submitted herself, ready to serve.

“My dear, I’m here!”

Su Xuan embraced Shen Qingwan, who immediately nestled into his warm embrace.

She somewhat enjoyed this feeling, a feeling she hadn't experienced for nearly ten years.

“Let me ask you a question, who is more powerful, me or him?”

Su Xuan's mischievous side emerged.

“Of course, you are more powerful!”

Shen Qingwan praised him without reservation.

“Don’t tease. I mean in terms of cultivation, who is stronger, me or the Old Emperor?”

Su Xuan chuckled.

“That would still be you, husband!”

Although she didn't know Su Xuan's exact Realm, Su Xuan at this moment was far more powerful than the Old Emperor in his youth.

“Your mouth is so sweet. I'll have to reward you well when we get back!”

Su Xuan praised her.

“Oh, by the way, husband… let me ask you a question, how is Zhuang'er doing now?”

Shen Qingwan couldn't help but ask.

She remembered having a son, but she had lost contact with him after she was banished to the Imperial Harem.

She was very worried about Ning Village, because Ning Village's cultivation talent was not very good and he had always been disliked.

No matter what, he was still her flesh and blood.

“He’s dead! He died a long time ago!”

Su Xuan said very seriously.

Ning Village: “???? Are I human? Am I f***ing human?”

“What? How could this be…”

Upon hearing this news, Shen Qingwan was thunderstruck, standing frozen in place.

“This is a sad story, Wan’er…”

Su Xuan began to talk nonsense.

In his description, not long after Shen Qingwan was banished to the Imperial Harem, Ning Village was expelled from the imperial palace due to his poor cultivation talent.

From then on, Ning Village lived in a secluded mansion in Xingluo City.

Although his cultivation talent was not good, he was still a prince, so the necessary provisions were not lacking, and Ning Village lived a rather comfortable life.

However, due to an accident, Ning Village was ambushed by several thieves and died in his sleep.

After listening to Su Xuan's nonsense, Shen Qingwan's eyes dimmed, as if she had lost her light.

Although she knew that more than ten years had passed and Ning Village's situation would certainly not be good, she had never imagined that Ning Village would die!

It was all the Old Emperor's fault! It was all his fault! If it weren't for him, how could Ning Village have died?

Shen Qingwan clenched her fists, and the desire to take revenge on the Old Emperor grew stronger in her heart. She couldn't help but kiss Su Xuan, who was beside her.

Another three hours passed, during which Xiao Ran also woke up, and Su Xuan conveniently helped her fulfill her long-cherished dream.
