A spaceship suddenly descended and hovered above the street, blocking the sunlight.
"Whose spaceship is it? How did it come to the mainland?" asked someone in surprise.
The cabin door was opened, and two people flew out. They were none other than Su Ping and Mother Yun.
Su Ping felt nostalgic looking at the familiar street and the familiar person; he put on a smile.
"This is just a regular planet. Why are we here?" Mother Yun looked around in confusion.
"This is where I do business," said Su Ping with a smile.
"Business?" Mother Yun was stunned.
The disciple of a Divine Lord was doing business?
Making money? Would Su Ping be short of money, considering his talent?
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He simply recalled the spaceship and flew towards the person outside of the shop who had tears in her eyes.
More and more people saw Su Ping's face as he landed. Instantly, the noisy street fell into a weird silence. However, the silence didn't last long; it was broken by the sudden outburst of cheers. Countless people who had seen Su Ping before were so excited that they blushed.
"It's Boss Su!"
"The strongest genius in Silvy!"
"Wrong. He's the strongest genius in the entire Golden Star Zone. Mr. Su represented our galaxy and fought in the Star Zone. He even won first place!"
"You're too ignorant. Don't you know who the champion of the Universe Geniuses' Contest is? It's our Boss Su!"
"Damn it! The champion of the universe? Are you serious? "
"I learned it from a secret intelligence channel. It's true!"
All the people in the line on the street were talking excitedly.
Some people claimed that Su Ping was the champion of the universe. Nobody could prove it, but it wasn't important; the fact that he was first in both Silvy and the Golden Star Zone was already exciting enough.
"Is he Su Ping? The strongest genius in our star zone in the Universe Geniuses' Contest three years ago? "
"I heard that his master is Lord Supreme's disciple. Is it true?"
All kinds of speculations, discussions, and attention were focused on Su Ping.
Even though three years had passed, and nobody would have recognized him even if they had met him on another planet, it was different on Rhea!
Su Ping had opened a shop here before the competition!
Afterwards, news of Su Ping's advancement spread throughout the entire planet. Knowing that Su Ping was the owner of a shop here, everyone on the planet felt proud.
The number one star system and the number one star zone was the owner of a shop on their planet!
The people of other planets might not care about this kind of honor, but it was engraved in the hearts of every Reya citizen, making them feel deeply proud of it.
"What's that noise?"
On the opposite side of the street, Cleo woke up on a couch on the second floor of a pet testing shop. She frowned and went to the window. Very soon, she saw the man who was slowly landing, following everybody's eyes.
"It's him?"
Cleo's pupils constricted, and she was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Su Ping had already landed in front of the shop.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Looking at the woman in front of him who was biting her lower lip with tears in her eyes, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Tang Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "You're finally back."
"I'm the boss. Of course I'm back." Su Ping chuckled; he didn't want their reunion to be so sad.
Tang Ruyan bit her lip. She had a lot of things she wanted to say when Su Ping wasn't there. Sometimes, she would blurt out some of the things she had been thinking about thousands of times when she was eating or sleeping. However, she suddenly didn't know what to say when she saw Su Ping in person.
"You're back."
Two people slowly walked out of the shop.
One of them was Joanna. She had blond hair, a young girl's body, and a cold face. She looked like a golden War God. Her face was as calm as ever, but her eyes were trembling; it was obvious that she was worried.
Green Lady, on the other hand, was delighted. They hadn't seen each other for three years. She would have been worried that something had happened to Su Ping if he hadn't come back to say goodbye to her.
Seeing Joanna and Green Lady, the people waiting in line outside the shop were all dumbfounded and widened their eyes.
The young man in white who was kneeling in midair was also dumbfounded, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman in the world.
And there were two of them!
"Thank you for your hard work."
Su Ping nodded with a smile and remarked with mixed feelings after seeing them.
The shop was doing so well; it was obvious that it was full of customers every day when he wasn't there. Joanna had been in charge of all the businesses.
"It's good that you're back," said Joanna casually. She then glanced at Mother Yun who was next to Su Ping and went back into the shop.
Green Lady noticed Mother Yun too. She asked in surprise, "Who is she?"
"Her name is Mother Yun. My master sent her to protect me," Su Ping introduced her.
Mother Yun was also observing Green Lady in surprise. She could easily tell that Green Lady was an Ascendant State expert; her aura wasn't any weaker than hers. However, she didn't sense any human aura from Green Lady. Clearly, she was also an alien.
"It seems that your master treats you well." Green Lady's eyes flashed and her smile was gone.
"Yes, she does." Su Ping nodded and then invited Mother Yun into the shop. After all, the entrance wasn't a good place to talk.
"Is … Is he the strongest genius in the Golden Star Zone?"
The young man in white stared at Su Ping's back and murmured in a daze.
Uncle Wei, who was next to him, trembled and said in a low voice, "Young master, let's get out of here as soon as possible …"
Although Su Ping didn't look at them, the young man somehow felt chilled and scared when he saw Su Ping.
The young man came back to his senses and nodded with a complicated expression.
In a jewelry shop nearby —
A young man wearing sunglasses who was picking accessories suddenly put them down and left. He quickly sent a message on his wristwatch as he left. "That guy is back."
In another clothing shop — a woman was trying on clothes. She suddenly put down the clothes in her hands and left the shop.
In the crowd, a few people who were queuing up quietly left the crowd.
Su Ping's shop on that planet wasn't a secret to many major forces. Besides, Su Ping had visited that planet three years ago, and the other geniuses in the same trade knew about it.
Although three years had passed and the Universe Geniuses Contest had ended long ago, most people had already forgotten about it. After all, most people were busy and didn't care about things that were too far away from them except for a moment of popularity.
…
Inside the shop —
Su Ping looked around and sighed. The shop was still the same after three years; there was no dust or signs of aging.
"Thank you for your hard work in the past three years," said Su Ping.
Joanna said casually, "It's our duty to be your employees."
"Humph!" Tang Ruyan raised her head.
Green Lady, on the other hand, remained silent, as if something was on her mind.
Mother Yun looked at the three women and felt that it was absurd to hear Su Ping's words. Su Ping asked an Ascendant State expert to look after his shop and do business there?
As for the other two women, she sensed a familiar vibe from the other one. If she wasn't mistaken, she seemed to be a reincarnation created by an Ascendant State expert.
If that was the case, it meant that the shop was run by two Ascendant State experts!
"…"
Mother Yun was at a loss for words.
As far as she knew, a business run by two Ascendant State experts had to be at least a super consortium across space zones!
The daily income of such a consortium was enough to buy a tier-5 planet!
"Let's call it a day and close the shop. Also, we'll need to adjust the shop," said Su Ping.
Joanna nodded and instantly sent out a notice.
Moans were heard outside the door, but they were only expressing regret. Instead, everybody was excited about Su Ping's return. The top genius of the star zone hadn't forgotten about his shop; he had even returned. Countless people would be attracted once the news was announced.
Many people claimed that it was worth waiting in line for days to see Su Ping up close.
"You've all been excellent employees in the past three years."
After the door was closed, Su Ping said to the three girls with a smile, "Let's go.
Joanna glanced at him and said, "You've been evaluating me for a long time. When are you going to take me there?"
She hadn't urged him; after all, she had waited for tens of thousands of years. However, Su Ping had been gone for three years; she was afraid that Su Ping would disappear again.
"I'll take you there this time," said Su Ping. "I'd like to take a look too."
"It's a deal then," said Joanna with glittering eyes.
Su Ping smiled and said, "I've owed you for a long time."
He looked at Green Lady and Tang Ruyan and said, "You can pick a place you want to go. I'll take you there."
"Anywhere?" asked Green Lady instantly.
Su Ping nodded.
"I'd like to go to the Deities' Realm," said Green Lady. That was the world where she and the Twilight Deity King lived. She wanted to visit it again. She had been locked in the palace by the Twilight Deity King back then, and the Twilight Deity King had fought to the end of his life to block the Heavenly Crater. She didn't know if that world was still there.
Even if it was broken and silent, she still wanted to take a look.
"Okay." Su Ping nodded.
Tang Ruyan looked at Su Ping and lowered her head. "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I want to be strong …"
Su Ping nodded. "I'll make the arrangements."
He then looked at Mother Yun and said, "Senior Yun, I'm sorry, but I'll have to train in the shop for a few days. Can you watch over the shop for me?"
Mother Yun was slightly stunned. She looked at Su Ping and the three girls with a weird expression. She found the Deities' Realm that Green Lady mentioned quite fascinating, as she had never heard of it before. It seemed to only exist in ancient myths. She wanted to visit such a place, and Su Ping had agreed to it. It was simply impossible.
I didn't know that Divine Lord's disciple was such a scumbag, thought Mother Yun.
What was a scumbag if he made a promise that he couldn't fulfill?
Moreover, to be able to coax the three women into working for him as coolies, without a certain level of skill, how could it be possible?
I didn't know that even Ascendant State women would fall for him. I'll have to be more careful in the future. Mother Yun quickly agreed to Su Ping's request.
However, she didn't want to be too close to Su Ping after a hundred years of guarding Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't have to worry about what he said after Mother Yun left. After all, Mother Yun would leave in a hundred years; it was better to keep the shop a secret. He said to Tang Ruyan, "You can go to the Archean Divinity with Joanna. You can grow stronger by staying there, even if you don't find any treasures."
"I can grow stronger by staying there?" Tang Ruyan was stunned. "How can I grow stronger?"
"Just breathe," said Su Ping simply.
Tang Ruyan: "…"
Joanna glanced at Su Ping and said indifferently, "Don't be so optimistic. The Archean Divinity was destroyed in the war years ago. The environment there might not be as good as you think, unless you've been there."
"Well, that's true." Su Ping remembered what his master had told him. The Archean Divinity had indeed been broken. The trial he had been to was one of the broken pieces. He thought about it and said, "How about I go and take a look first to make an example?"
"Have you never been there before?" asked Joanna.
"No." Su Ping shook his head and said, "But don't worry, I can definitely go there."
"Okay." Joanna looked at him and didn't say anything else.
Green Lady stood aside in silence without saying anything.
After talking to the three of them, Su Ping began to check the shop's income. He was still shocked when he saw the number.
The income he had accumulated for three years had never been used. It was so much that Su Ping felt suffocated.
"Is this what it feels like to be AFK …" Su Ping thought to himself.
He had earned so much money that he could squander it however he wanted. The ticket to the Archean Divinity cost nine thousand coins per trip. In the past, he would have been reluctant to spend that much money. But at the moment, he didn't mind spending that much money!
