["Nine-Colored Goddess": My past self must be questioning life right now.]
["God of Speed": Not . I'd definitely be testing what I gained.]
["Phoenix God": Am I the only one realizing how dangerously fun this divine realm fragnt could be if misused?]
["Nine-Colored Goddess": Ew~ gross fatty!]
["God of Speed": Well, for soone who's been frequenting brothels since childhood, a little moral decay is normal.]
["Phoenix God": Hey, hey! I was just reasonably speculating to warn you all!]
["God of Speed": The strear's still a virgin, unlike your creepy self.]
["Nine-Colored Goddess": Exactly. Exactly.]
Diyi Hong rubbed his nose.
Good thing his body had been rejuvenated. If it were his original self in this world…
These two goddesses probably wouldn't be so friendly.
…
In the hotel lobby, which also served as the dining hall—
Flender and the others sat in the center, slowly eating breakfast. No one dared sit within ten ters.
Three Soul Saints traveling together? Yeah, not ssing with that.
Diyi Hong strolled over—
Just in ti to hear Xiao Wu snapping at ng Yiran:
"What are you so smug about? My brother got a 2,100-year third soul ring all by himself!"
Hearing that, Tang San wore a humble smile and tried to stop her.
"I only succeeded thanks to absorbing two soul bones—it's really nothing special."
That might have been convincing in the past.
But now that people knew his true, two-faced nature, no one chid in with praise.
["Phoenix God": How did I ever believe he was so chaste little angel?]
["God of Speed": Just looking at him irritates . Strear, go humble him!]
["Nine-Colored Goddess": Yeah! Step up and smack him around a bit!]
["Phoenix God": Ahem! I an… Show off your soul ring, make him eat his words!]
[User "Phoenix God" has sent a gift: [Phoenix Divine Sense] ×10]
["Phoenix God": That's a down paynt. Impress , and there's more where that ca from!]
Of course Phoenix God was so proactive—
Because this ti slot was his chosen wager. If Diyi Hong requested a "grand prize," he'd lose.
And that would not be cheap.
Diyi Hong chuckled, feigning ignorance. Compared to [God King of Destruction 002], Phoenix God's "prizes" were peanuts.
He stepped up to put on a show.
anwhile, ng Yiran had already clapped back:
"Oh please. Weren't you the one I beat up?"
Tang San's face darkened.
Xiao Wu jumped up!
"You only won because Diyi helped you! What makes a Level 30 at 15 years old think she could beat my brother?!"
"But I did beat your brother." ng Yiran doubled down with a smirk.
"You… Can't you use a different line?!" Xiao Wu fud.
"How about 'I killed your brother' instead?" ng Yiran raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Wu's rabbit ears stood on end with rage.
Tang San's expression soured. He was about to stand—
When Diyi Hong pressed down on his shoulder.
"Don't rush off yet," Diyi said cheerfully. "The real show's just getting started."
Show?
Tang San instinctively shivered. Why did he suddenly feel a sense of impending doom?
Others also noticed Diyi Hong's presence with surprise.
He wasn't sleeping today?
Odd.
They'd knocked on Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's doors earlier—no one was there.
So they must've gone to Diyi last night…
Absorbing their soul rings.
And already done?
"Hey, Diyi," Ma Hongjun wiggled his brows, "how was it last night? Two girls at once? Even I've never gone that wild."
Diyi Hong raised his left hand, revealing his Titan Giant Ape's Left Arm soul bone.
Shinra Tensei!
Boom!
Ma Hongjun rocketed out the window, soaring through the air like a firework.
He hit hard.
But no one cared—his third soul skill was flight. He'd be fine.
Diyi Hong called over a staff mber and requested hot water be sent to the rooms.
Then he calmly explained—
"The soul ring absorption's done. Once they've freshened up, we'll return to the academy."
After all, he was still looking forward to that [God King of Destruction 002] grand prize.
Just then—
ng Yiran approached with a smile. "So what kind of soul rings did they get? What effects?"
"You'll see soon enough. Letting them reveal it themselves is half the fun," Diyi said casually.
ng Yiran nodded repeatedly in agreent.
"Tch!"
Xiao Wu made a noise of disdain from between her teeth—scoffing at ng Yiran's flattery.
ng Yiran didn't back down.
"What, jealous? Wanna take this outside?"
Xiao Wu slamd the table, ready to stand, but—
Wham!
[Chastity Lock]activated!
Tang San flew backward with a spin, right into the door just as Ma Hongjun was reentering.
The two tangled up like a hairball and tumbled outside.
Xiao Wu completely forgot about ng Yiran and chased after them.
ng Yiran put her hands on her hips in triumph.
ss with ? You get wrecked!
["God of Emotion": I just arrived, and this scene alone made my day!]
[User "God of Emotion" has sent a gift: [Emotion Divine Sense] ×1]
["God of Emotion": Strear, enjoy a nice breakfast.]
Hey!
Now that's a generous sponsor!
Diyi Hong tossed the nu onto the counter.
"I'll take one of everything."
Before the waiter could say anything, Flender beat him to it.
"Diyi, that's way too wasteful—"
"My space ring's a high-grade one. Food gets ti-locked the mont it's stored," Diyi Hong replied, picking his ear. "What were you saying again, Headmaster?"
Flender: "…"
What could he say?
"N-Nothing! I'm done eating. I'm going upstairs now!"
Off he fled.
Tang San's group returned just in ti.
Seeing Flender gone, Ma Hongjun dove into the food like a starving man.
"Still eating, Fatty?" Zhao Wuji barked. "You just lost weight, and now look at you! Let's go run laps!"
Ignoring his protests, Zhao Wuji hoisted him with one hand and walked off.
Ma Hongjun looked utterly crushed.
No brothels…
Now no food, either…
Life is suffering.
["God of Speed": Fatty, wasn't your whole deal about working hard once you got rid of your evil fire?]
["Nine-Colored Goddess": Seriously! If you had more discipline, maybe you could finish your Fire God Trial and avoid Tang San's eventual backstab.]
["Phoenix God": Stop! Stop! Old habits die hard, okay? Let the man be…]
["God of Speed": Oh? So you admit you've been morally compromised since childhood?]
["Phoenix God": That's because of Dai Mubai! I used to just overeat—then he showed up and…]
["God of Speed": Hah! Birds of a feather!]
As the gods bickered—
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong descended the stairs together.
Fresh from their baths, they had a radiant glow, prompting more than a few double-takes.
Even Dai Mubai's eyes flickered strangely.
That was supposed to be—
Diyi Hong, sensing sothing, glanced over.
Dai Mubai imdiately lowered his head.
From the corner of his eye—
Zhu Zhuqing sat naturally to Diyi Hong's left, shoulder to shoulder.
That casual intimacy made Dai Mubai's expression tighten.
He stood up, ready to leave.
But…
