Golden Ranking's Ninth Place Revealed! Gongsun Li, Qian Yu's Personal Maid?!

"Qian Daoliu, you are no match for me."

"The me of today is no longer who I used to be."

She spread her arms wide, an almost crazed smile appearing on her face.

"I have that Wasted Qian Yu to thank for this! Though he is Wasted, without him, I, Bibi Dong, could never have attained the strength I possess today!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Bibi Dong laughed wildly and without restraint, her laughter filled with pride and venomous resentment.

She turned her gaze to Cai Wenji again, her tone imperious and brooking no refusal.

"Cai Wenji, I'll ask you one last time. Submit to me!"

Hu Liena, standing nearby, also threw her weight around. "So what if you're tenth on the Spirit Ranking? Our teacher is a peak Douluo! If you refuse, my teacher will capture you right now!"

Cai Wenji looked at Bibi Dong, who seemed utterly deranged, and clenched her tiny fists tightly.

What an ungrateful wretch!

Brother Qian Yu had treated her so well, yet she dared speak of him that way!

Cai Wenji was angry, and the consequences would be severe.

"Then let me see what you are actually capable of!"

Her little face was full of fury as her nine blood-red Spirit Rings began spinning rapidly.

Seeing this, the disdain on Bibi Dong's face deepened.

"Heh, you're merely a Support System Spirit Master who can only heal injuries. Are you planning to fight me?"

However, before her words had even faded—

The Heavenly Screen high above the nine heavens underwent another violent change.

Golden light flashed explosively, and the winds and clouds changed color!

A line of even more dazzling golden words slowly emerged.

[Spirit Ranking, Ninth Place!]

[Spirit Name: Illusion Dance Umbrella!]

[Holder: Gongsun Li (Qian Yu's personal maid)!]

In an instant, the entire continent once again fell into deathly silence.

Then, the image upon the Heavenly Screen shifted.

It was a forest of Maple Leaves, where fiery red leaves danced through the sky like burning flames.

Within the forest, an oil-paper umbrella floated quietly in the air.

Its canopy was an elegant off-white, painted with several lifelike maple leaves in cinnabar. Its ribs were made of some unknown divine wood and gave off a faint fragrance.

At first glance, it was merely an exquisite yet ordinary oil-paper umbrella.

But when it began to turn gently, the entire world seemed to be drawn into an illusion of light and shadow.

Countless maple leaves transformed into sharp blades, dancing with the turning umbrella and slicing through the void.

Light and shadow interwove, reality and illusion shifted, making it impossible to tell what was real and what was false.

[It controls the power of light, shadow, reality, and illusion. Swift as light, it can create lifelike phantoms to confuse enemies and shift between reality and illusion, rendering all enemy Spirit Skills and attacks completely ineffective!]

The words on the Heavenly Screen once again left everyone breathless.

[Tier: Super God-Tier Detached Martial Soul!]

[Reward: The holder's Spirit Power Solidification will increase sevenfold. All Spirit Rings will gain 150,000 years of cultivation! Godly Skill obtained: Illusion Dance!]

Great Tang Empire, imperial palace.

At Qian Yu's side, a lovely young girl dressed in a pink dancing gown stood gazing at the sky in delight. Her figure was graceful, and her features were sweet.

She was Gongsun Li.

"Young Master! My Martial Soul made the rankings!"

Gongsun Li's face bloomed with joy, and she accepted the reward without hesitation.

In an instant, a beam of light even more brilliant than Cai Wenji's descended from the sky and enveloped her.

Wu Zetian and the palace-dressed beauty beside her, Shangguan Wan'er, both smiled as they congratulated her.

"Congratulations, A'li."

Only Qian Renxue's expression could no longer be described as mere shock.

Her beautiful eyes were wide as she stared fixedly at Gongsun Li, her voice even changing pitch.

"Gongsun Li? You... you're only a maid, yet your Martial Soul can make the rankings too?"

She simply could not believe her eyes.

This maid, who had always followed Qian Yu around, serving him tea, pouring water, and tending to his daily needs, had also made the rankings with her Martial Soul?

And—

Her rank was even higher than Qian Renxue's!

She was even ranked above Cai Wenji, who had just saved Grandfather!

Qian Renxue's Six-winged Angel had only ranked fifteenth, yet this maid had actually ranked ninth?!

How could someone as proud as her possibly accept that?

Qian Yu frowned slightly at her words. He gave Qian Renxue a calm glance and spoke.

"A'li is not my maid."

"She is my friend."

Those simple words made Gongsun Li's body tremble slightly.

She turned around, and a mist instantly welled up in her lively eyes, filled with gratitude and joy.

"Young Master... you are so good to A'li!"

"A'li has no way to repay you. I am willing to give myself to you!"

Her words were sincere and passionate, without the slightest hint of affectation.

"What? You want to give yourself to him too?!"

When Qian Renxue heard that, she immediately grew furious, her chest rising and falling.

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, standing nearby, also began looking at Gongsun Li with somewhat unfriendly eyes.

This A'li really took everything she could get without the slightest hesitation!

Outside Jialing Pass, Heaven Dou Empire camp.

Within Shrek Academy's main camp.

When they saw the Heavenly Screen change again, everyone had already become somewhat numb.

"Ninth place on the Spirit Ranking? Illusion Dance Umbrella? What kind of Martial Soul is that? I've never even heard of it."

Ma Hongjun voiced his usual question.

"My heavens! Look at the description!"

Oscar pointed at the sky, his voice trembling.

"This Martial Soul... is actually another Super God-level Spirit! And it can render other people's Spirit Skills and attacks ineffective?!"

At once, everyone erupted into an uproar.

Make attacks ineffective?

How was anyone supposed to fight that?

However, when their gazes fell upon the holder's name, everyone froze.

"Gongsun Li... is Qian Yu's personal maid?!"

Yu Xiaogang's glasses nearly slipped from the bridge of his nose. He stood there completely dumbfounded.

An overwhelming tide of envy and jealousy instantly surged in his heart.

A top figure ranked ninth on the Spirit Ranking!

The holder of a Super God-level Spirit!

And she... she was merely Qian Yu's personal maid?!

Tang San was also deeply shaken, muttering to himself.

"Qian Yu? Isn't he... Bibi Dong's Ex-husband?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded blankly, his tone bitter to the extreme.

"A peerless beauty ranked ninth on the Spirit Ranking actually... actually willingly became someone's personal maid?"

Tang San's gaze also became complicated, his envy plain to see.

"This Qian Yu really is blessed."

Ma Hongjun was practically drooling, wearing an utterly lecherous grin.

"This is too incredible! Having a maid like that is practically the pinnacle of life!"

For a moment, everyone from Shrek looked at the sky with eyes full of envy for the Qian Yu they had never met.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes filled with intense curiosity.

Who exactly was this Qian Yu?

What kind of man was he?

How could he make a proud daughter of heaven ranked ninth on the Spirit Ranking willingly become his personal maid?
