One, two, three...

As she entered the banquet hall, A Yin silently counted. There were more than ten Title Douluo present—every top combatant on the continent was gathered here.

If this had been before, she would have run away long ago. It would have been impossible for her to take even one step inside. But now that she had reached maturity, half of them would not be able to detect her. Besides, there was so much food here. It would be a waste not to eat.

Upon reaching Spirit Hall's table, Guang Ling Douluo approached after catching her scent.

"Qingyu finally made it!"

"It's a pity I didn't get to see your heroic bearing!"

Guang Ling Douluo felt deeply regretful, but when he spotted the lively blue-haired girl with wavy locks beside Jiang Qingyu, his eyes lit up.

"Well, whose girl are you? You're quite pretty. I can tell at a glance that you're blessed—definitely the gentle wife and loving mother type."

Guang Ling Douluo raised his brows and teased her.

A Yin froze and hurriedly waved her hands. "N-No, Fifth Consecrator, you're joking."

Veins bulged on Jiang Qingyu's forehead as he said speechlessly, "Grandpa Guang Ling, hurry up and shut up. This is so embarrassing!"

"I'm old. I can't control my mouth." Guang Ling Douluo spread his hands.

Jiang Qingyu rolled his eyes and took his seat with A Yin and Bibi Dong.

Once seated, A Yin's gaze fell entirely upon the feast spread across the table. Chicken, duck, fish, and meat—everything was there. She was already drooling uncontrollably.

The people seated at the table were all at extremely high realms and barely ate much. Some dishes had only been touched slightly, while others had hardly been touched at all.

"A Yin, eat. Eat as much as you can," Jiang Qingyu said.

"Thank you. Qingyu, you really are such a good person."

A Yin could not wait any longer and immediately began eating.

"Here, Qingyu. You should eat too."

Bibi Dong picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Jiang Qingyu's lips, her face wearing the smile of a gentle wife and loving mother.

Jiang Qingyu did not like being fed this way, but quite a few people were watching.

Though they were not looking directly, he could still catch glimpses of them from the corners of his eyes.

Left with no choice, Jiang Qingyu opened his mouth and ate it.

Bibi Dong was overjoyed inside. Qingyu ate it. Great.

Once I win you over, Qingyu, next time I'll be the one feeding you. I'll definitely make you feel good.

"Qingyu, this old man's breakthrough into the peerless realm was truly thanks to you. Let me toast you."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was exceedingly forthright. He raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.

"You're too polite, Grandpa Golden Crocodile," Jiang Qingyu said with a smile. "Besides, none of the other grandpas have treated me like an outsider either."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded repeatedly.

Those seated here were all Spirit Hall's upper echelon. The Upper Three Sects sat on the other side, while Qian Daoliu sat beside Tang Chen, chatting and drinking with him.

Tang Chen's expression had remained unpleasant the whole time, while Qian Daoliu had practically been boasting about Spirit Hall without pause.

Tang Chen's feelings were incredibly complicated. His desire to obtain a god position was undoubtedly intense.

Only then could the Clear Sky Sect rise again.

"Qingyu, what are your plans next?" Qian Xunji asked. "As the Holy Son, you have your own palace and guards. Naturally, you must also have people you can trust. Now that you have become the Holy Son, you are the future Pope."

Finally, finally, there's a Holy Son. If Father urges me to marry again, I can only end my career as Pope early and hand the position over to Jiang Qingyu. Only then can I pursue love.

Love! True love!

"I have plans. I also want to study pill refining!" Jiang Qingyu said.

"Pill refining!" Qian Xunji stroked his chin. "That profession is too obscure. Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan has researched it for years. When the time comes, have Dong'er accompany you."

The profession of pill refining was simply too niche.

There were far too few pills capable of improving soul masters—practically none at all.

"Sure."

Jiang Qingyu agreed. One more person meant one more little helper.

Pill refining was niche because it had not been developed, and good pills required good soul tools to assist in their refinement.

The Universe Creation Pill required a level-nine soul tool pill-refining furnace.

Of course, the Mysterious Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill did not require such high standards. Just one pill could be sold for ten thousand gold soul coins.

"Do you know this young lady?" Qian Xunji looked toward A Yin, who was wolfing down her food.

"We've met twice. I brought her along when I saw her."

Qian Xunji smiled. "Since fate has brought you together, would this young lady be willing to join Spirit Hall? I think she has good aptitude. Perhaps she could become your capable assistant and help ease your burdens."

A Yin had a chicken leg in her left hand and a duck leg in her right, eating with relish. When she heard Qian Xunji's question, she paused.

"Huh???"

"You need not be afraid, young lady. Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall? There is plenty to eat here, and with your abilities, you can absolutely shine in Spirit Hall!"

Qian Xunji only felt that A Yin's personality was quite unusual. Together with Dong'er, perhaps she really could win Jiang Qingyu over.

"I'm willing!"

A Yin had not listened to the first part at all. She had only caught the keyword—food.

As long as she could eat her fill, nothing else mattered. Besides, she no longer feared these Title Douluo, and with Jiang Qingyu around, no one would dare touch her.

The old A Yin, who feared trouble, was gone. This was a brand-new A Yin fresh off the line.

"She only cares about eating." Qian Xunji chuckled.

This Miss A Yin truly was different.

At the Upper Three Sects' table, Yu Luomian had already arranged for Liu Erlong to keep watch on Jiang Qingyu's movements at all times.

Even if nothing came of it, Erlong had already done her best. When she returned to the clan, no one else would have anything to say.

Liu Erlong's martial soul and soul power were both first-rate, and she even possessed the mutated Fire Dragon martial soul. She was definitely much stronger than Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's martial soul was currently only at rank twenty-nine.

Yu Luomian and the other elders were all extremely dissatisfied that Yu Xiaogang had consumed so many heavenly treasures, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, the sect master was his father!

About five minutes later, Jiang Qingyu was still feeling rather bored in the banquet hall.

"Your Holiness, I'll go outside for a walk first."

Qian Xunji said, "Go ahead."

A Yin continued eating without stopping. Bibi Dong wanted to follow, but Qian Xunji grabbed her.

"Teacher, is something urgent?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Teacher needs to tell you something. This is extremely important—it concerns both your future and mine."

Qian Xunji's tone was solemn.

"Please tell me, Teacher!"

"If you win Jiang Qingyu over, try to get pregnant within half a year, understand?"

Bibi Dong froze. "Why?"

Why is Teacher even more anxious than I am!

"That way, Teacher can retire and enter the Consecration Hall. When that happens, you can have a mistress too."

Qian Xunji raised his brows and smiled.

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes. "Teacher, I think you've had too much to drink. You've helped your disciple so much, and now you want me to win him over and get pregnant as soon as possible? Dream on!"

Elsewhere, after leaving the banquet hall, Jiang Qingyu headed toward an unoccupied area.

Not long after he left, two people quietly followed him.

"Who are you?"

"And who are you?"

The two beautiful women spoke in unison.

"I'm Yu Luomian's daughter, from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"I'm Tang Chen's granddaughter, from the Clear Sky Sect."

Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua introduced themselves at the same time. They exchanged a look. "Could it be that you're also..."
