When the girls arrived at Dai Chengqian's room, their eyes all lit up.
"Gosh, Your Highness, your room is way too nice! Spirit Hall is playing favorites!"
Meng Yiran looked at the woolen carpet on the floor of the room, as well as the marble bath in the corner, and revealed an envious expression.
Dai Chengqian looked at her and smiled:
"Like it that much? Then come over and stay tonight.
The room is too big anyway, and I can't possibly fill it by myself."
"Really! Then I won't be polite!"
Dugu Yan grabbed Meng Yiran, shook her, and said:
"Hey, you're not actually going to come stay here tonight, are you? Careful you walk right into the tiger's den."
Meng Yiran hooked her arm around Dugu Yan and said:
"What is there to be afraid of? Or how about you come keep me company tonight?
No matter how bold His Highness is, he wouldn't dare devour the two of us together, would he?"
"Then add me!" Asuya raised her hand.
"Then can I come too?" Ye Lingling also raised her hand.
Dai Chengqian waved his hand:
"Whatever, whatever. If none of you are scared, what do I have to be afraid of?
If you have the ability, all six of you can come together tonight.
There's only one bed in this room anyway, so I'll just be forced to share a big blanket with all of you."
Hearing Dai Chengqian's words, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed slightly as she let out a soft "Hmph," then said earnestly:
"Your Highness, don't joke around with them. You called us here; it must be to talk about the matches, right?"
Dai Chengqian nodded, looked at everyone, and said:
"That's right, stop fooling around. I'm talking business now.
The grand finals are about to begin. Now I'll explain the tournament format to everyone.
There are a total of thirty-three teams participating in the grand finals, and there will be five rounds of matches in total.
In the first round, the seeded teams of Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall will receive a bye, while the other thirty teams will fight for fifteen spots. In other words, our team will receive a bye in the first round.
During the bye time, we can go watch the other teams' matches and understand our opponents.
The second round will see the first-place teams from the two competition zones receive byes-meaning Shrek and the Eldest Prince's team will receive byes.
The third round will have the second-place teams from the previous promotion matches of the two competition zones receive byes, and the remaining eight teams will battle to decide four qualifiers.
The fourth round has no bye spots; three teams out of the six will advance to the final round.
The fifth round is the final round. The last three teams will use a one-on-one combat format from the promotion matches to determine the strongest team in terms of strength.
The remaining two defeated teams will play a team match, and finally compete against the strongest team to decide who the ultimate grand champion is.
Does everyone understand clearly?"
"Understood." The girls spoke in unison.
Dai Chengqian nodded and said: "As long as you understand. We don't have to fight in the first round, so everyone disperse and go rest."
The girls left Dai Chengqian's room one after another.
Meng Yiran, who left last, walked halfway before her steps halted, and she turned back.
"Why are you back?"
"Didn't Your Highness just say we sisters could come to this room whenever we want?"
Meng Yiran gripped her Serpent Cane, lifted the hem of her skirt to reveal a pair of fair, tender thighs, and sat down beside Dai Chengqian.
Dai Chengqian glanced at her and said:
"What I said earlier was that you can all come over whenever you want at night."
The corners of Meng Yiran's lips curved gently as her brimming gaze fell upon Dai Chengqian, and she beamed with a smile:
"What? Are you scared, Your Highness?"
"Scared? I wouldn't be scared even if all six of you came together. This room is very big, do as you please."
Waving his hand, Dai Chengqian sat cross-legged on the carpet and began meditating to cultivate.
Meng Yiran blinked at Dai Chengqian, then looked toward the marble bath in the corner.
With a shift of her gaze, she went to the changing room beside the bath, put on a set of yukata-style robes, and jumped into the bath.
Hearing the sound of water, Dai Chengqian cast his gaze toward the interior of the bath.
He saw Meng Yiran wearing a thin gauze robe, with half of her body inside the bath.
Because her clothes were soaked through by the water, the upper garment clung tightly to her body, clearly outlining that touch of beautiful curvature.
Meng Yiran's martial soul was serpentine by nature, carrying its own inherent charm reminiscent of an agile snake.
Seeing Dai Chengqian look toward her, Meng Yiran conceived the idea of teasing him.
She twisted her waist slightly, stood up a bit to lean against the edge of the bath, curled a finger at Dai Chengqian, and cast a bewitching glance.
"Your Highness, want to come down and play together?"
"Damn, this woman is definitely doing this on purpose."
Looking at the burst of spring scenery pressed against the edge of the bath, Dai Chengqian instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Activating the Red Luan Panel, Meng Yiran's affection at this moment stood at 68.
"Forget it, I'm doing this all for affection!"
Approaching the bath and looking at Meng Yiran, whose ear tips had already turned red, Dai Chengqian leaped forward.
"You're really coming, Your Highness? I was just joking with you."
"Mmm..."
An hour later.
The connection level between the two had unlocked, reaching Lv1.
Meng Yiran's affection instantly surged from 68 points to 75 points.
Dai Chengqian successfully obtained a roulette reward opportunity.
Adding the two he had stored previously, he currently had three roulette draw chances in total.
Leaving Meng Yiran to lie down and rest by herself, Dai Chengqian walked over to a small room and activated the roulette.
The antique roulette creaked as it spun.
The indicator slowly came to a halt, finally stopping on the area marked 'Storage Space Upgrade'.
[Your storage space has increased tenfold]
After the tenfold increase, the size of the space became around 100 square meters.
The things stored most in Dai Chengqian's Storage Space were the immortal herbs obtained within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Aside from the immortal herbs, there were some Soul Tools and miscellaneous items.
Originally, these items had occupied a fair bit of space in the Storage Space, but now, after a tenfold upgrade to the space, these things instantly appeared unremarkable compared to the entire expanse.
He activated the roulette once more.
This time, the roulette stopped on the area: 'Increase charm value by ten points'.
Ever since he acquired the Charm System previously, Dai Chengqian's charm had been slowly and steadily growing bit by bit from a single digit.
It wasn't until he absorbed the Fifty Thousand Year Soul Ring that his charm value grew to the double-digit figure of 10 points.
Now, through the roulette's reward, his charm value skyrocketed directly to 20 points.
Opening the system panel to inspect his charm value, the system's voice reached Dai Chengqian's ear.
"Your charm value level has reached Level 20. Your charm has upgraded from 'Slight Sensation' to 'Heart-Tug'."
"Heart-Tug: Your appeal has greatly increased compared to before. When interacting with people, you will stir the heartstrings of women, causing the other party to develop curiosity and proactively approach you."
Seeing the description after his charm improved, Dai Chengqian felt astonished in his heart.
He hadn't expected that after his charm value reached 20 points, there would actually be such a change.
He couldn't imagine what state he could reach once his charm hit 100 points.
A flick of his finger, and Bibi Dong licks feet?
He shook his head, shaking the somewhat evil thoughts from the depths of his mind, and Dai Chengqian proceeded to activate the final roulette spin.
In the end, the roulette slowly came to a rest within an area called the "Purple Heaven Thunder Crystal".
He took out the Purple Heaven Thunder Crystal and held it in his hand to inspect it.
The Purple Heaven Thunder Crystal was a purplish, dark-golden crystal the size of a fist, inside of which could be seen a small purple figure resting quietly.
"Does this gadget have any use?"
