Inside the grand Supreme Pontiff Palace of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong looked at the reply from Spirit Kite on her Jade Mirror. A soft smile appeared on her elegant face.
Hu Liena stood nearby, watching her teacher closely. She felt very curious about what was happening. She walked a bit closer and asked, Teacher, what did you ask Aunt Spirit Kite to do in Soto City?
Bibi Dong looked up, and her expression turned sharp as she snapped at her disciple, You idiot! Did you already forget the new mission I assigned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo last time? If I don't arrange for Spirit Kite to be a witness, do I have to rely on a foolish girl like you to explain everything for me?
Hu Liena blinked her eyes as she suddenly realized the plan. She quickly took out her own mirror to type a message.
Hu Liena wrote, Go, Aunt Spirit Kite!
Bibi Dong followed up immediately with her own message in the group chat, Tell them to do it well. Follow up later to ensure that the task I arranged is completely foolproof.
I Am a Little Bird replied quickly, Okay, I understand.
Yanzi is not a Swallow joined the conversation, asking, Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency, what kind of secret task did you arrange for them?
Group Member No. 9 sent a teasing guess, You're not trying to use a honey trap on Su Yan using Aunt Spirit Kite, are you?
Nine Treasures Little Princess expressed shock, Wow, really?
I Am an Orphan simply replied with three question marks.
Meanwhile, inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue sat at her desk and was completely stunned by the chat logs. She stared at the screen in disbelief. She thought to herself, Wait, what is my mother doing? It wasn't enough that you arranged for Hu Liena to be near him, but now you're also planning to have Spirit Kite use a honey trap on Su Yan? This is getting out of hand.
Back in the chat, Liu Erlong sent a mocking message, Old Woman, if you ask me, you should stop arranging Spirit Kite for this. Why don't you just go yourself? Shall we become rivals again by falling for the same man?
Bo Saixi commented with amusement, 666.
Ma Xiaotao praised the boldness, It has to be Ancestor Erlong! That's outrageously brilliant.
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream added, Draw your swords, everyone!
Back in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong felt her face turn red with anger. She slammed her hand down on the armrest.
You absolute bastard! Liu Erlong, you just wait! In a few days, I'll make sure you die of pure anger, you absolute bastard. She muttered these words out loud, her eyes flashing with fury.
Down in Soto City, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Ning Rongrong and the other girls went out together to retrieve their gold coins from the local bank. Little Monkey took Erhei and Laosan along with them to serve as strong bodyguards. Because of this, only Su Yan and Ah Yin were left behind at the Rose Hotel.
At this moment, Su Yan was sitting quietly by the window in the top floor luxury room. He stretched his arms and was just about to get up to pour himself a fresh glass of water. Ah Yin, who was standing right beside him, noticed his movement instantly. She quickly picked up the pitcher, poured the water into a cup, and handed it to him with a gentle smile.
Su Yan took the glass, but his expression became a bit complicated as he looked at how understanding and attentive Ah Yin was being. He cleared his throat and said, Um, Aunt Ah Yin, you really don't have to be like this around me. I'm quite unaccustomed to you serving me.
Ah Yin looked calmly into Su Yan's eyes and replied in a soft tone, You gave me my life and helped me recreate my body, so this is what I should do for you. Also, can you please stop calling me Aunt? It sounds a bit too distant.
Su Yan nodded his head slightly to agree. He sat back down in his chair and occasionally glanced over at Ah Yin. The newly reborn Ah Yin looked much younger and more beautiful than before, and she had an even better, more graceful figure.
After a short silence, Su Yan spoke up again, Actually, you don't have to treat me as a grand savior with such deep reverence just because I saved you from your old form. You should just treat me as a regular friend.
As a friend? When Ah Yin heard Su Yan's words, a clear hint of disappointment flashed deep in her blue eyes. She lowered her head slightly and became very quiet, seemingly lost in deep thought.
Su Yan noticed her change in mood and asked strangely, Could it be that Aunt Ah Yin doesn't want to be my friend?
Ah Yin sighed softly and replied in a low voice, I... I don't really know.
Su Yan put down his water glass on the table. He got up from his seat, moved much closer to Ah Yin, and whispered right into her ear, Then I will give Aunt Ah Yin a choice right now. What kind of relationship do you actually want to have with me?
Ah Yin's face turned pink. Anything is fine, she muttered.
Hmm? Su Yan leaned in closer.
Ah Yin looked up at Su Yan, who was standing right in front of her face. She seemed to read the clear meaning and emotion hidden deep within his eyes. She replied in a voice that was as tiny as a buzzing mosquito, Can it be the same relationship as, as Zhuqing and the others have with you?
Right after Ah Yin finished speaking those words, she suddenly felt a strange warmth wrap around her entire body. Before she could even process it, she had been pulled tightly into a warm embrace by Su Yan. Ah Yin's heart instantly sped up, beating like a wild drum inside her chest.
I... She opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what words to say next. In the end, she simply pressed her head quietly against Su Yan's broad chest. This was a deeply comforting warmth, and it made her feel incredibly secure for the first time since her rebirth.
After a long while passed in silence, Ah Yin murmured softly, I don't know what I have left in this world anymore. I feel like I have absolutely nothing, and I don't even know why I should continue to live. I'm so afraid of this empty feeling inside me.
She took a deep breath and continued, Perhaps staying right by your side and chatting with everyone in the magic group chat every single day can stop me from feeling so lost and scared. But I'm also deeply afraid that one day you will grow to despise me and chase me away from your side. If that happens, I'll lose all of you and return to my lost, empty self again.
Su Yan lowered his head, looked directly into Ah Yin's beautiful eyes, and replied in a very soft, soothing voice, I think I completely understand your heart. After experiencing such great sorrow and terrible pain in your past life, you naturally developed a strong sense of reliance on me.
He smiled gently and added, But I don't want to help you overcome this reliance at all. I actually want you to rely on me forever. I will never let you leave my side, nor will I ever let you feel lonely or lost in this world again.
Ah Yin's eyes immediately filled with deep, tender affection. She whispered, Then, being the exact same as Zhuqing and Rongrong, is that truly okay with you?
Mhm! Su Yan nodded his head gently to confirm.
With pure joy shining brightly in her eyes, Ah Yin looked up. She bravely moved her body forward and reached up to embrace Su Yan's neck tightly with her arms. This sudden, binding movement was just like her own plant control technique, the famous Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Grass Binding!
Su Yan was caught off guard and felt startled by her sudden strength. Ah Yin truly lived up to her reputation as the powerful Blue Silver Emperor. This personal version of Binding was truly overwhelming and powerful, and her soft body was squeezing him tightly against her.
He slowly reached out his hands to gently touch and hold the beautiful piece of art that he had personally helped create through her rebirth. Although her physical figure was slightly less voluptuous than Zhu Zhuqing's unique hell cat spirit form, her body was perfectly proportioned in every single way.
He knew he had to make up for it now. Ah Yin possessed the unique traits of the Dark Blue Silver Grass, and in her excitement, she was frantically absorbing his life force like a wild plant.
Su Yan immediately prepared to counterattack her movements. He activated his inner power and called out, Second Spirit Kunpeng, Spirit Fusion Skill, Vibrant Life!
Ah Yin felt the massive surge of energy and quickly prepared herself for the intense battle. She called out her own power, Second Spirit Blue Silver Emperor, Spirit Fusion Skill, Seed Rebirth, Budding!
Su Yan smiled and pushed forward with his technique, Second Spirit Kunpeng, Spirit Fusion Skill, Startled Snake Enters Grass, Flying Bird Leaves Forest!
Ah Yin refused to back down and countered immediately, Second Spirit Blue Silver Emperor, Spirit Fusion Skill, Straw Boats Borrowing Arrows!
Su Yan controlled the rhythm of the battle and used his next move, Second Spirit Kunpeng, Spirit Fusion Skill, Drawing the Bow Without Shooting!
Ah Yin met his energy head-on with determination, Second Spirit Blue Silver Emperor, Spirit Fusion Skill, Fighting with One's Back to the River!
Su Yan pressed his advantage deeper, Second Spirit Kunpeng, Spirit Fusion Skill, Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage!
Ah Yin tried her best to hold her ground, but her energy was running low. She used her final bit of strength, Second Spirit Blue Silver Emperor, Spirit Fusion Skill, Flowing a Thousand Miles...
Aunt Ah Yin truly lived up to her ancient reputation as a powerful spirit beast. Her overall physical strength and endurance were indeed much greater than Zhu Zhuqing's, and she was actually able to fight Su Yan back and forth during the initial rounds of their battle. Unfortunately for her, she ultimately lost the match against his superior strength, and she could only roll her eyes in complete exhaustion as she collapsed into the sheets.
Suddenly, a system notification flashed across everyone's screens.
The user named Ah Yin has been upgraded to Group Chat Administrator.
Everyone in the chat reacted instantly with confusion, sending three question marks.
Meanwhile, over at the Soto City Branch Hall of Spirit Hall, the atmosphere was quite different. Spirit Kite had just finished finalizing the details of Bibi Dong's secret plan along with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. When she took out her mirror to check the group chat, she became completely dumbfounded by the system notification.
Wait, what is this? That total scoundrel Ah Yin! We clearly agreed before that we would be good sisters together in this new life, so how did she manage to get on the bus first all by herself? She actually dared to leave me behind and didn't bring me along with her!
Spirit Kite felt extremely depressed and annoyed as she stared at her screen. She had been discussing this exact romantic topic with Ah Yin just a few days ago, and back then, Ah Yin had always acted completely embarrassed, shy, and totally clueless about men. It turns out that this girl is just like Group Member Number Nine, a sneaky person who stays quiet but secretly does massive things behind everyone's backs.
Damn it! Spirit Kite gritted her teeth in anger. She turned her head around, glanced over at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and said in an irritated voice, This operational matter is fully settled between us. I have some urgent personal business that I need to take care of right now, so I'm leaving this place first. Just remember to call me immediately when you are ready to carry out the physical plan against Yu Xiaogang.
She adjusted her clothes and added, I will be staying over at the Rose Hotel for the next two days. If we need to move somewhere else to catch him, I will send a private messenger to notify you two.
After speaking those words quickly, Spirit Kite turned around and rushed away from the building as fast as her legs could carry her. She felt truly terrible inside her heart. Ah Yin had successfully advanced her position to Group Chat Administrator today, leaving only her behind as a regular member. Didn't that situation make Spirit Kite look like a total fool to the rest of the group?
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood in the hallway and watched her sudden departure, looking completely bewildered by her behavior. What on earth is wrong with Spirit Kite Douluo today? Why was she rushing off in such a crazy hurry, looking exactly as if her own man had just been stolen by someone else?
A final message appeared on the screen from her account.
I Am a Little Bird wrote, Ah Yin, you have completely betrayed my sisterly trust in you!
