The spacious testing room was quiet.
It was Su Ping's first time experiencing something like this. He didn't know if his way of expressing himself was right, but he felt that it was better to be clear.
"You …"
"What are you talking about?"
Before Su Ping could continue, Lou Lanlin suddenly looked up with a relaxed smile. "I've heard about the marriage. It's the family's idea. I'm here to test you."
Su Ping was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so honest.
"Hehe!"
Lou Lanlin put her hands behind her back and leaned forward. Her head only reached Su Ping's chin. She had to raise her head slightly to look at him. At this moment, she revealed her shell-like teeth and smiled. "I'm almost done with the test. It seems like you have the same thoughts as me. I don't want to be tied down by other things so early."
Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Lou Lanlin looked at Su Ping's relaxed expression. She stared at him for a moment, but only for a moment. Then she smiled again. "I don't want to be distracted before I become a god. What about you?"
"Me too." Su Ping nodded. He wanted to challenge the Investiture of the Seven Realms. This was a difficult path. He didn't have time to do anything else.
Lou Lanlin nodded slightly. She suddenly punched Su Ping's chest and said, "Then let's meet at the Investiture of the Gods. Let's see who's stronger and who's weaker. I'll work hard to surpass you too!"
"That's not possible." Su Ping shook his head.
Lou Lanlin saw how serious Su Ping was and was speechless. Suddenly, anger and thoughts surged in her heart. She put on a cute expression and said, "Don't be too arrogant. An arrogant army is bound to be defeated! Do you believe that when I surpass you, I'll force you to marry me? "
Her words were domineering. It sounded a bit like a joke and a bit real.
Su Ping saw how joking she was and shrugged. "You won't have the chance."
"Then I'll try!"
"Sure!" Su Ping wasn't afraid.
"Then it's a deal!" Lou Lanlin gritted her teeth as her eyes flashed.
Su Ping shook his head and smiled when he saw how competitive she was. He did not take her words seriously.
Even though the other party was a direct descendant of the Loulan Family, Zhang Xuan had the help of the system. Now that he had Zhi Zun as his master, the cultivation resources he had were incomparable to the other party. It was impossible for the other party to surpass him.
"Sure!"
Seeing Su Ping agree, Lou Lanlin's puffed up cheeks suddenly disappeared. She stared at him and then snorted. She turned around and said, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm leaving. A man and a woman alone together, don't tarnish my reputation!"
"Oh, that's all."
Su Ping scratched his head. He felt that this matter had been completed too easily. The other party was very easy to talk to. Perhaps she didn't have any feelings for him in the first place. He was just overthinking.
Lou Lanlin's back was facing Su Ping, and she reached out to open the door. However, she found that she couldn't open it. At this moment, Su Ping reached out from behind her and opened the door for her.
"Humph!"
Lou Lanlin lowered her head and snorted. Then, she quickly walked out.
Su Ping followed her. They left the test room and saw Joanna and Tang Ruyan standing by the door. Su Ping asked curiously, "Why are you two standing here?"
Joanna glanced at Su Ping indifferently and left.
Tang Ruyan looked at the ceiling and said, "A pet just ran over here. Strange, where did it run off to?" She then left on her own, as if she were looking around.
Su Ping was speechless. He looked at Lou Lanlin who was about to leave and asked, "Do you want to go back? Why don't you wait until the Ascendant State experts of your family arrive?"
"I've already informed them," Lou Lanlin snorted without looking back.
Su Ping didn't say anything else. After all, she was a direct descendant of the Loulan family and a girl that countless people had their eyes on. It would be bad for her reputation if he kept her there.
He called Tang Ruyan and asked her to see Lou Lanlin off.
Su Ping remembered that Tang Ruyan had accompanied him all the way there and was involved in the assassination attempt. He would never forget her kindness.
Tang Ruyan was stunned to hear that. She pointed at herself, unable to believe her ears. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "Fine, fine. You're the manager. You call the shots!"
Then, he glanced at Lou Lanlin and said, "Let's go."
The door was opened; sunlight poured in, elongating Lou Lanlin's shadow.
Her shadow extended along with the light and was about to touch Su Ping's feet, but she stopped in the end.
"I will definitely surpass you!" Lou Lanlin turned around. Her gaze seemed to contain many things. Her expression was very serious.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment.
Lou Lanlin chuckled when she saw the frozen look on Su Ping's face. She waved her hand and left. She flew away and disappeared from Su Ping's sight.
However, the moment she turned around, no one noticed that the smile on her face faded away.
…
"Did she challenge you to a duel?"
Tang Ruyan was surprised to hear Lou Lanlin's answer.
Challenge?
Su Ping remembered what Tang Ruyan had said. "Is it a challenge? Maybe."
But he had a feeling that it was more like a love letter.
No, no, no! Su Ping shook his head at once. He was being too narcissistic. Tang Ruyan was just joking.
Su Ping shook his head. He pushed those distracting thoughts to the back of his mind and told Joanna and Tang Ruyan to open the store for business.
The daily business began.
Su Ping stayed in the store with Joanna and Tang Ruyan for the first time in a long time. They received customers and checked their pets. Some of the pets were already injured when they arrived, and some had accumulated hidden injuries from years of fighting.
Joanna and Green Lady stepped forward and cured them on the spot.
That made the store even more famous. Su Ping saw their performance and secretly gave their employees a point.
"You guys, don't go around and cause trouble."
Inside the shop — the little Chaos Beast that had just transformed was running around with the green-shelled insect and the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon as if it were the king of children.
The Dark Dragon Hound, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch and combing its hair in front of the customers. It was more like showing off than combing. It was even more confident when people looked at it.
As for the Little Skeleton and the Purple Python, both of them were otaku. There was no telling where they were in the store, but they would never move again once they lay down. Even turning over could be a strenuous exercise for them.
The little Chaos Beast looked like a four-year-old child. It had big, cute eyes and looked innocent, but it was extremely strong. Neither the green-shelled insect nor the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon could withstand its fury when it was infuriated.
However, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton, who had followed Su Ping for a long time, didn't care at all.
Seeing the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon, Su Ping remembered his promise and made a decision.
Very soon, the half-day business was over, and the store was closed in the afternoon.
The customers outside the store were already used to it, so they didn't complain.
"Little White."
That was the pet name that Su Ping had given to the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon. It looked like a little boy with white hair that was as white as snow; he seemed to be weak and sickly.
Little White approached Su Ping after hearing Su Ping's call. He looked small, but his eyes were resolute. He was also cold and decisive in battles.
However, he was smiling in front of Su Ping. He was curious and confused.
"I told you that I would take you to see your parents when you were strong enough to protect yourself. You can go back and see them now," Su Ping said softly as he patted the boy's head.
Little White was stunned for a moment. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. A moment later, he nodded and said in a childish voice, "Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me." Su Ping smiled and said, "You can stay with them after you meet them. I'll set you free."
Little White was slightly stunned. His eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Just go. You know the way. Do you want me to go with you?" Su Ping patted his shoulder.
Little White shook his head. He was already invincible on that planet, and didn't need Su Ping's company. Besides, it was his own business, and he wanted to do it on his own.
Su Ping didn't say anything else and simply let him leave the store.
The others heard Su Ping's words. The Dark Dragon Hound poked Su Ping's arm and asked curiously, "Boss, are you really going to set Little White free? If he doesn't come back, then …"
"As long as he's happy," said Su Ping with a smile.
After the store was closed —
Su Ping then went to different cultivation sites to complete the professional orders.
On the other side of Rhea, a snow-haired boy was flying below the atmosphere of the dome. Very soon, he reached the continent that was filled with the air of primitive wilderness.
That was where the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon lived.
The Ryan family had set up a barrier on the continent, making it impossible for the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon to escape.
There were spaceships and passenger planes coming and going, sending the interstellar hunters who had come to hunt to this continent.
Many people were already on the transit island.
The snow-haired boy flew past and observed the scene in silence. There was no telling what he was thinking.
When he arrived above the continent, he stared at it for a moment. Suddenly, his figure swooped down. His figure moved, and a strange law shrouded him. He silently infiltrated the barrier and arrived at the continent.
In front of him was a magnificent mountain with a towering peak.
Below the main peak was a vast forest that extended for thousands of kilometers.
Far away from this mountain range, some human figures could be seen hunting various types of demon beasts in the periphery.
He flew above the forest with thoughts and memories in his eyes. He had met Su Ping in that very forest and was rescued by the latter.
He still remembered how his mother took him and fled from that magnificent mountain. Then, they hid in that forest.
At first, they weren't interrogated by the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons. That was the happiest time of his childhood; he looked forward to his father's return from that mountain every day.
