Ding, System Update Complete~

After roughly arranging the method for making glass, Ling Chang'an returned to his room. As for how the glass would develop afterward, that was no longer something he could worry about.

After all, he had merely provided theoretical support. If he were truly asked to do it himself, he would not know how to make glass either. But once this succeeded, the Ling Family would completely rise to prominence and become a wealthy sect comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

What, you said that was impossible?

One had to know that once they fully mastered the technique of producing transparent glass, the products they made could earn profits of at least a hundredfold, even a thousandfold. Making money would be ridiculously easy.

Combined with those pastry shops and hotels, the opportunity for the Ling Family to rise had already arrived!

No longer thinking about other matters, Ling Chang'an turned his attention to his points. On Mount Autumn Name, in order to advance as quickly as possible, he had exchanged for nine Soul Power Fruits. Each fruit provided one hundred points of Soul Power, allowing his strength to rise to level sixteen, but it had pained him greatly.

Adding the Soul Ring Fruit that raised the quality of his soul ring, Ling Chang'an had spent more than nineteen hundred points in total this time. Fortunately, he had also harvested plenty of points, so it had more or less balanced out.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out:

"Ding, the Before Others Divine Manifestation System has officially finished updating. Before Others Divine Manifestation missions will now officially be issued."

"Ding, perform a Divine Manifestation before Qian Renxue once. Mission reward: Stare-and-Poop skill."

Ling Chang'an: ...

There was a lot to process. Let him digest it first.

First, this damned system had finally begun issuing the Divine Manifestation missions it had mentioned from the start, resolving one of Ling Chang'an's greatest doubts.

Second, showing off in front of Qian Renxue was simply too easy. He could do it tomorrow.

But what the hell was this mission reward, Stare-and-Poop?

Could it be that if he fought someone in the future and could not beat them, he could quickly activate this skill, and the other party would give up killing him because they had to poop?

That image...

Ling Chang'an shuddered, instantly finding it wonderfully beautiful.

Tomorrow, he would find an opportunity to continue talking to that little Qian Renxue girl about infiltration, then say something lofty to show off and see what the hell this skill actually was.

Now, sleep!

After finishing their cultural studies class that morning, Ling Chang'an gave Qian Renxue a look as he left the classroom, then walked outside. Qian Renxue instantly understood. After hesitating for a moment, she followed him.

There was no helping it. Although she disliked Ling Chang'an, that Womanizer, somewhat, after their last conversation, she had come to understand him a little better. Besides, she would be leaving soon, and it was always good to learn more.

As for Ling Chang'an, the moment he stepped out of the classroom, he saw Hu Liena standing outside. The instant Hu Liena saw him, she immediately approached with a smile.

"Junior Brother, to thank you for saving me yesterday, let me treat you to a meal outside."

As she spoke, Hu Liena brushed her beautiful hair aside and gave him a seductive smile.

A huge warning sign immediately appeared in Ling Chang'an's heart, but his response was also incredibly swift.

"Senior Sister, there's an urgent matter at home today. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon instead. I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

After saying that, Ling Chang'an quickly headed toward the academy gates. He could not let Qian Renxue see him being intimate with Hu Liena. After all, he was a devoted and faithful man.

"Hey, this is the first time I've ever invited a boy to eat!" Hu Liena called unhappily at Ling Chang'an's retreating back, but the corners of her lips merely curled up slightly. She did not seem particularly angry.

Perhaps even Hu Liena herself had not noticed that ever since yesterday, Ling Chang'an's image had filled her heart, and it was irreplaceable. Moreover, Ling Chang'an's rejection today made her find him even more interesting.

It was still the same restaurant and the same table. When Ling Chang'an pulled out a chair for Qian Renxue, he habitually looked around. Only after confirming there were no acquaintances did he sit down.

To Ling Chang'an, this action was merely a habit. Its benefit was that it greatly reduced the chances of running into someone he knew and getting exposed.

"What are you looking at?" Qian Renxue asked doubtfully.

"Nothing. Are you leaving soon?" Ling Chang'an sat down casually, firmly steering the conversation where he wanted it.

"How do you know that again?" Qian Renxue raised her little brows and looked at Ling Chang'an in even greater confusion. How did this guy know everything?

Ling Chang'an smiled awkwardly. "I only guessed. Can you tell me when?"

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment before speaking. "I can, but you have to keep it secret."

"I'll be leaving at the beginning of next month."

After saying it, Qian Renxue realized she actually felt a trace of disappointment. She did not know what exactly she was disappointed about.

Ling Chang'an placed some food into her bowl, then nodded. Gazing at Qian Renxue with deep affection, he said, "Then I'll see you off when the time comes."

"Ah, n-no need. It's fine if I leave by myself." Qian Renxue's face rarely reddened. She silently lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Ling Chang'an's eyes. Yet for some reason, when she heard him say that, her heart felt warm.

"I said I'll see you off, so I definitely will. My legs are on my body; you can't stop me." Ling Chang'an smiled and placed another chopstickful of food into Qian Renxue's bowl.

Before Qian Renxue left, he had to win at least half of her over. Otherwise, once she left for such a long time, all his efforts these past days would be wasted.

Qian Renxue did not argue further. Her head even felt a little dizzy. Rather than stop Ling Chang'an from serving her food, she lowered her head and ate while saying, "Continue what you were saying last time."

Ling Chang'an casually took a few bites, then cleared his throat and continued, "Let's keep talking about an infiltrator's mentality. When a person is undercover, their mental fortitude is the most important thing. If their mentality..."

"Ding, you successfully performed a Divine Manifestation before Qian Renxue. You have obtained the skill 'Stare-and-Poop.'"

"The Stare-and-Poop skill can be used on Soul Masters no more than fifty levels above you. It will cause the target gastrointestinal discomfort within three seconds, giving them the urge to poop, and make them actually begin pooping within half a minute. Limited to three uses per day."

Ling Chang'an: ~...

Holy shit, this was a god-tier skill!

And its range of use was so broad. It could be used on any Soul Master no more than fifty levels above him. Did that not mean he could make a level sixty-six Soul Emperor poop during battle right now?

Could a Soul Emperor hold it in? Of course not!

But why did he suddenly have such a strong urge to try it out?

"You're Ling Chang'an, right? I'm Huyan Li's older brother, Huyan Zhuo!"
