It was past three in the night, and the moon hung high in the sky.
The feast finally came to an end.
Su Shi looked at the heavily intoxicated Yu Ren’er with a frown and asked, “Your alcohol tolerance is not good, why did you still drink so much?”
She stopped all the fox girls who came to toast and drank at least two large barrels herself.
With a flushed face, Yu Ren’er slurred, “It’s fine, I can still drink.” Su Shi sighed in exasperation and amusement, “Those girls just came to clink glasses with me, was it necessary for you to compete like this?”
Yu Ren’er shook her head. Although her eyes were blurred from the alcohol, she tried her best to put on a serious expression and said, “Only then can I prevent these vixens from getting close to Brother Su Shi.”
Su Shi shook his head and said, “Are you saying you yourself are not a vixen?”
“I….” Before she could finish her sentence, she bumped her forehead on the table.
Su Shi was startled. As he carefully looked, he realized that she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Su Shi sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly. He helped Ren’er up and looked around, only to find that everyone had left without a trace.
The hall was empty, not even a single servant could be seen.
“Ren’er, where is your room?”
Ren’er mumbled drowsily, “Mmm…”
Su Shi let out a sigh.
It seems like I’ll have to take her back to my own room first.
Su Shi lifted her up and walked out.
In the corner of the hall, Yu Yuan was secretly observing this scene.
The elder fox by his side whispered, “Chief, is this appropriate? Miss Ren’er is innocent and a young girl. This could potentially put her in a disadvantageous position.”
Chu Yuan glanced at her warningly and said, “If she was going to be at a disadvantage, it would have happened long ago. Can’t you see Ren’er’s condition?”
The elder fox fell silent.
With her keen eyes, she could naturally see it.
Ren’er’s mind was distracted, her Yin energy hadn’t dissipated, and she had not yet completed sleep.
Yu Yuan himself had not expected that despite Su Shi’s seemingly carefree attitude, he had never crossed any boundaries.
Even after spending so much time at the Su family during the New Year’s Festival, nothing had happened.
“Could I have been mistaken?”
“Su Shi is not a playboy, but a respectable gentleman?”
Yu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered in silence.
He couldn’t have imagined that during the New Year’s Festival, just as the Empress had left, the Demon Emperor had come, and the two of them didn’t even have a chance to meet privately.
“When Ren’er is with Su Shi, I can rest assured. Let them cultivate their relationship.”
Yu Yuan turned and left with his hands behind his back.
Initially, he had some slight reservations about their relationship.
Apart from their different races, there was also a sense of loss from having someone taken away from him.
But now, he only hoped that the two of them would be together.
“Where else can I find such a good match?”
Su Shi carried Ren’er into the room. He tried to put her on the bed, but she clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.
Unconsciously, she murmured, “No one is allowed to steal my brother Su Shi…”
Su Shi chuckled and said, “Let go, there’s no one here to steal me from you.”
“No~”
Ren’er’s face turned even redder, and she stubbornly refused to let go.
Su Shi shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to lie down on the bed as well.
He held her delicate hand and slowly infused spiritual energy into it, helping her dispel the alcohol in her body.
Yu Ren’er’s complexion finally eased.
The blush on her face gradually receded, her breathing became steady, and she had entered a sweet dreamland.
Su Shi pinched her pale cheek and smiled.
“You shouldn’t have drunk so much.”
Looking at her lovely sleeping face, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
At that moment, he heard a prompt in his ear.
[System prompt: Reputation of the Fox Clan of Green Hill Plains increases, which affected the subsequent plot trend, and gained 50 plot points.]
[System prompt: Yu Hongyin’s heart has changed, which affected the subsequent plot trend, and gained 30 plot points.]
[System prompt: Yu Yuan makes a decision, which affected the subsequent plot trend, and gained 10 plot points.]
Su Shi slightly frowned and then realized.
This should be the chain reaction caused by his breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Realm.
“The Green Hill Plains Territory really is my blessed land.”
Su Shi revealed a content smile.
Not only did he break through in cultivation, but he also gained 90 plot points.
What a profit! He opened the attribute panel:
[Host: Son of Destiny Killer Violet Emperor Star – Su Shi]
[Status: Full of qi and blood, refreshed]
[Talent: Holy-grade perfect]
[Cultivation Base: Spirit Severing Realm (Early)]
[Cultivation Method: The Great Harmony of the Nine Revolution Elements of Heaven and Earth (Second Revolution), Heavenly Sutra (Perfect), Heavenly Manifestations (Perfect)]
[Plot Points: 160 points]
The plot points increased to 160.
“It seems like it’s been a long time since I last held a surprise meeting.”
Su Shi murmured to himself, deciding to hold one first.
Time passed and the words he had just spoken finally appeared before his eyes, a welcome sight after such a long absence.
Radiant light shimmered and sparkled.
A gift box emerged.
[Special reward: Promotion.]
“Special reward?” Su Shi looked surprised.
It had been a long time since he had seen those words.
According to the system’s mechanism, the reward pool would refresh with different blind boxes containing techniques, treasures, pills, and a possible special reward.
The higher the quality of the reward, the lower the probability of obtaining it.
The probability of obtaining a special reward was less than 1%.
In all this time, Su Shi had only received a special reward once, when he opened the proof box and obtained the “Holy-grade Perfect Talent.”
With an excited heart, he carefully looked at the reward description.
[Promotion: Can enhance the grade of other items and have the chance to gain new attributes or abilities. Targets for use include but are not limited to: treasures, pills, techniques, divine powers, etc. Can only be used once.]
[Note: Pills promoted cannot exceed Ninth Grade, treasures cannot exceed Holy-grade, divine powers and techniques cannot exceed Heavenly-grade.]
Su Shi looked worried. This was like giving him a chance to upgrade.
But it wasn’t just a simple enhancement, there was also a chance of gaining new abilities.
So the target for this promotion must be chosen carefully. Su Shi pondered seriously.
“For pills, there isn’t a suitable one currently, and I can refine the Ninth Grade Spirit Pills myself.”
“The sect is already filled with Holy-grade treasures, and the Dragon-Slayer Sword is enough for now, so I don’t need to consider treasures.”
“As for techniques and divine powers…
“They all seem to be at the Heavenly-grade, and there is no room for promotion.”
This “promotion” seemed good on the surface, but in reality, it had many restrictions. For Su Shi, who lacked resources, its effect was not as great as imagined. At this moment, Su Shi’s gaze paused on two words.
“Strange Objects.”
Strange Objects could also be promoted, and there were no restrictions.
An image immediately appeared in his mind.
He took out a scroll.
Unfolding it, a scene of majestic mountains and rivers emerged, a magnificent landscape before his eyes.
Strange Objects: Beautiful Landscape Painting!
