"Bibi Dong is about to become a god!"
Ren Tao lay beside the villa's pool, looking at the fine wine on the nearby table and the food on the tray, yet he had no desire to reach for either.
Bibi Dong had chosen this residence with great care. Taking Ren Tao's speed into account, she had selected a small hill far from the city center. It was a vast "platform in the sky" cradled by the hillside, surrounded by cascading waterfalls that gathered at its base into a deep pool encircling it on all sides.
The scenery and views were superb, and the surroundings were quiet. Better still, more than half of Spirit City lay between it and Spirit Hall, which it faced from afar.
In terms of elevation, it was only slightly lower than Spirit Hall's highest point.
It made the Empress's meticulous planning and skill all the more apparent.
If I could have owned a courtyard like this in my previous life... heh!
But now, Ren Tao could not feel happy at all.
Bibi Dong was about to become a god, with Qian Renxue close on her heels. Once again, Ren Tao had fallen a step behind and found himself on the defensive.
Even if Bibi Dong bore him no hostility, his heart still felt heavy, as though a great stone weighed upon it.
He still had no leads on repairing the sea of inheritance, and the completion of his second evolutionary stage remained a distant prospect.
Like a poor, backward nation without a nuclear deterrent, when would the sea soul beasts finally be able to stand tall?
Ren Tao stood up, sat down again, then paced back and forth, considering what he should do right now to respond in the best possible way.
