In the real world, inside the Villa.
It took Qian Renxue and the other four a long silence to recover from the statement that Ning Rongrong and Tang San could become gods in the future.
Ning Rongrong's heart was full of doubt. Could she really become a god? With a mindset like hers?
Beside her, Xiao Wu wore a look of envy. After all, becoming a god was every soul beast's lifelong pursuit. Besides escaping pursuit, she had restarted her cultivation as a human because she wanted to become a god and take revenge herself.
But why were Xiao San and Rongrong the ones who became gods? Would she become a god in the future too?
She desperately wanted to ask this question, but unfortunately, she had already used up her questions.
Just then, Dugu Yan, who stood a short distance beside her, voiced a question:
"H-Honesty, didn't you say Tang San and my grandfather would become friends despite their age difference? Since he became a god, why would my grandfather die? What else was behind this?"
"Well, about that!"
Chen Shi paused, looked at Dugu Yan, and sighed before continuing:
"Alas, you've already used up your chance to ask questions. You'll have to ask that next time. I can only reveal a little information: your grandfather could be considered the most miserable Titled Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent."
At these words, Dugu Yan froze on the spot.
Her grandfather was actually the most miserable Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent?
How could "Titled Douluo" be linked with "miserable"? Why was that?
Wasn't her grandfather supposed to be Tang San's friend despite their age difference? Didn't Tang San become a god?
Then why was her grandfather still "so miserable"?
Countless questions filled Dugu Yan's heart, but unfortunately, she could no longer ask any.
Right now, she truly wanted to know how to earn another chance to ask questions.
On the Douluo Continent, inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After hearing Chen Shi's words, Dugu Bo's expression turned slightly cold.
He was actually the most miserable Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent? How could that be?
What exactly happened to him in the future?
Although Dugu Bo desperately wanted to know, a gratified smile appeared on his face as he watched Dugu Yan on the Light Screen.
"Yan Yan really has grown up. Her questions are getting better and better. I hope her next chance to ask questions will give me some answers!"
Inside the Villa, after hearing the information Chen Shi revealed to Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before asking as well:
"Wh-what about me? Did I become a god in the end?"
Hearing this question, Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Hu Liena rolled their eyes, looking at Xiao Wu as though she were an idiot.
Was becoming a god supposed to be that easy? Ning Rongrong would later have the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so it was understandable that she had the potential to become a god. But Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had taken human form and restarted her cultivation. How did she dare entertain such a thought?
Although they already had an answer in mind, they still wanted confirmation from Chen Shi, to see whether he would answer.
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Shi looked at Xiao Wu, shook his head, and added:
"Not only did you fail to become a god, but you were also the first of your Shrek Seven Devils to fall."
At these words, all color drained from Xiao Wu's face. She could barely stay on her feet, stumbling back several steps before collapsing onto the sofa.
Not only had she failed to become a god, but she had also been the first to die?
Why?
She did not believe all of the Shrek Seven Devils could become gods. After all, Ma Hongjun's martial soul was flawed, and Oscar was a food-type soul master. Although he was highly talented, cultivation was very difficult for him.
Apart from them, only Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing remained. Although those two seemed very talented, they were no better than her.
Among all these people, she was the first to die?
Could it be because I'm a hundred-thousand-year soul master who took human form and restarted my cultivation?
Besides, didn't Xiao San become a god in the future?
Then why didn't he save me?
Why did both Xiao San and Rongrong become gods? Could the two of them have ended up together?
Also, it seems that people who have a good relationship with Xiao San don't end up very well!
Wasn't Dugu Bo said to be Xiao San's friend despite their age difference? Yet he died miserably in the end, and was even the most miserable Titled Douluo.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect helped Xiao San so much, but didn't they meet a bleak end too?
Why does it feel like helping Xiao San only brings bad luck?
Recalling what Chen Shi had said earlier, Xiao Wu seemed to have gained enlightenment.
She did not even notice Ning Rongrong, who had stayed beside her comforting her.
Seeing Xiao Wu's state, Chen Shi could only sigh helplessly. Just as he was about to ask Qian Renxue and Hu Liena what questions they had, he suddenly heard a series of rumbles.
He turned to look. The sound had come from Dugu Yan's stomach.
Feeling Chen Shi's gaze, Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed. She hurriedly covered her stomach and said sheepishly:
"S-sorry... I'm hungry!"
When the pillar of light enveloped her that morning and brought her to this Villa, she had not even eaten breakfast.
After arriving at the Villa, she had also fought Xiao Wu, expending so much energy that she grew hungry sooner.
"Hungry?"
Chen Shi looked up and out the window, discovering that it was already noon. Time really had flown.
Just then, Xiao Wu's and Ning Rongrong's stomachs also voiced their protests.
Xiao Wu was still in the midst of her enlightenment and barely reacted.
Ning Rongrong, however, also lowered her head in embarrassment and explained:
"W-we were too busy yesterday, and then Third Brother was taken away, so we barely ate. S-sorry!"
"It's fine. It happens to be lunchtime anyway. Let's eat first, then get on with everything else!"
Chen Shi rose from his chair and pointed around the Villa as he explained.
"This Villa has six suites in total. There are two on the top floor, three on the second floor, and one here on the bottom floor. You can choose your own rooms later.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, one of the rooms on the third floor is mine. Don't fight over that one!"
At these words, Qian Renxue and the other three grew a little anxious.
Choosing rooms took skill too, especially those three rooms on the second floor. Having companions living next door would be much more convenient.
As for that room on the third floor, would living alongside the owner of this Villa be dangerous?
Although they did not know the specifics, they were afraid.
Meanwhile, Chen Shi, the owner, had already gotten up and headed toward the kitchen.
While hiding in the kitchen earlier, he had discovered quite a lot of food, but he had not examined it closely.
Six people were living together now, and Qian Renxue and the other four were no ordinary people. He had no idea how much they ate.
Although the system said it had stocked a month's worth of food, what if they did not have enough toward the end?
These were all things he needed to consider.
He then took a careful look around the kitchen.
His first impression of the entire kitchen was that it was huge. Its floor area alone exceeded forty square meters, considerably larger than his old rented apartment.
In the very center of the kitchen stood a two-meter-long marble island, with all kinds of kitchen utensils arranged on top.
To the left, by the window, stood a row of stoves and pots of various sizes.
On the right was an entire wall of refrigerators, leaving Chen Shi astonished. He could not help asking inwardly:
System, did you move an entire supermarket in here?
