At this moment, Tang San thought to himself that this meal seemed safe from being sabotaged. But a new problem arose. These few people were eating so deliciously, yet not a single one offered him any. He wondered why they did not offer him some, as he was only joking earlier. Who would choose to eat dry biscuits when there were meat buns available?
Su Yan secretly shook his head and said, "Sigh, I truly am inferior to Tang San. He remains as pure as he once was, never forgetting his original intention. But I have been corrupted by wealth and splendor; if I don't enjoy delicacies every day, I feel uncomfortable all over". After Su Yan finished speaking, he went back, set up the tables and chairs, and took out the late-night snacks that Qian Renxue and the others had sent.
Tang San was depressed. He accepted that his spirit power strength was inferior to Su Yan's, but he could not understand why his life was so much worse. He kept chewing on dry biscuits while Su Yan constantly enjoyed delicacies. He was a lonely man whom even Xiao Wu looked down upon, yet Su Yan had many beautiful women around him, including Xiao Wu. Tang San could not figure out this difficult problem.
Inside the group chat, people were still chatting enthusiastically. After Su Yan finished eating, he drank a can of Spirit Beast Beer, sat on a chair, and leisurely closed his eyes to sleep. The gentle Ah Yin sat beside him, lightly fanning him because there were mosquitoes and bugs in the forest.
In Spirit City, at the Pope's Bedchamber, Hu Liena and Bibi Dong were sitting on the bed. Hu Liena asked with some hesitation, "Teacher, are we really not sleeping tonight"? Bibi Dong replied with a solemn expression that she expected the group chat to upgrade tonight because everyone had been very active.
She wanted to take advantage of Su Yan and the others sleeping to ask newcomers about spirit tools. Hu Liena nodded heavily in agreement.
Late in the night, Su Yan woke up and yawned. He looked at Zhao Wuji and Oscar sitting by the bonfire and said, "Teacher Zhao, you can go rest. Xiao Houzi and I will watch the rear; there won't be any problems". Zhao Wuji replied, found a spot to lean on, and closed his eyes to sleep. Oscar also fell asleep, leaning against Ma Hongjun.
Su Yan saw Ah Yin still sitting there and told her to go rest. Ah Yin gently shook her head and said she would keep him company, but Su Yan insisted someone else would watch with him for the second half of the night. Ah Yin then quietly slipped into a tent.
Just as Su Yan expected, as soon as Ah Yin left, Ning Rongrong secretly crept out. She whispered, "Su Yan Gege, the Little Glutton is here".
Back in the Pope's Bedchamber, Hu Liena yawned and noted that the time was up, but the group chat had not upgraded. Bibi Dong wondered if no one had been active today.
Bibi Dong: Is anyone else awake?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: Guess.
Bibi Dong: Little Princess, let's chat for a while. Is there anything you want to talk about?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: (Sends an image of Ning Rongrong in Su Yan's arms).
Nine Treasures Little Princess: No chatting, please do not disturb. At this moment, Su Yan Gege belongs only to me, and I want to quietly enjoy happiness.
Hu Liena: You are truly asking for a beating!
Hu Liena gritted her teeth in anger. She felt it was unfair that she was constantly worrying in Spirit Hall while Ning Rongrong stayed with Su Yan and posted pictures to show off. Bibi Dong was also furious and felt that everyone else was just as much of a "love brain" as she was accused of being.
Bibi Dong asked where Ah Yin was, as she was usually awake. However, the group chat remained silent because Ah Yin was now a normal person and needed sleep. Bibi Dong was speechless and tried to keep Hu Liena awake to chat with her. Hu Liena looked at her teacher helplessly and asked what she wanted to talk about. Bibi Dong insisted they chat in the group. Hu Liena was confused why they were using the chat while sitting right next to each other.
Su Yan: The night is long, and I have no intention of sleeping.
Su Yan: I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep. I didn't expect His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff couldn't sleep either. We can just talk through the night.
Bibi Dong was shocked. She had only been waiting for the group chat to upgrade to ask about spirit tools. Realizing Su Yan was still awake and she had been waiting for nothing, she tossed her jade mirror aside in anger. She shouted, "Bastard! You weren't sleeping? Why didn't you say so earlier"?
Hu Liena did not know whether to laugh or cry. She realized that while her teacher was acting more like a normal person now, she was also constantly throwing temper tantrums, much like Ma Xiaotao. Hu Liena remarked that the teacher and Su Yan seemed like "happy enemies". Bibi Dong exploded with anger at the suggestion.
Hu Liena pointed out that Bibi Dong was prettier than Liu Erlong, so it was not impossible for her to also want to "eat tender grass". Bibi Dong felt powerless to refute that she was better looking than Liu Erlong, but she vowed she would rather starve than pursue a younger man like Su Yan.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Rongrong sat in Su Yan's arms and softly asked if he liked her. Su Yan replied softly that he did, though he was secretly irritated. When she asked how much he liked her, Su Yan decided they should go see the scenery together. He immediately carried her and ran into the forest to find a hidden mountain cave.
