"Beep, beep, beep…"
"Who is it? Always sending messages!" Lin Chen asked.
Mu Nujiao replied, "It's Ai Tutu! She's asking me about this training experience!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said helplessly, "Have you ever thought about moving out, just the two of us?"
Mu Nujiao pondered his words. She had indeed considered such a thought. She knew Lin Chen's charm and wasn't worried he would take a liking to Ai Tutu, as he was usually very indifferent, even slightly annoyed, with Ai Tutu.
Mu Nujiao was only afraid that Ai Tutu might develop inappropriate feelings for Lin Chen. As the saying goes, it's harder for a man to pursue a woman than for a woman to pursue a man.
Fortunately, for now, Ai Tutu didn't seem to have any excessive thoughts about Lin Chen.
"Let's not," Mu Nujiao said slowly after a moment of internal struggle, "Ai Tutu can't rent a decent place by herself!"
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had known each other for a long time. Without involving principles, she really couldn't just abandon Ai Tutu. Could she really disregard years of friendship for some hypothetical possibility?
"Why? Do you not like Ai Tutu?" Mu Nujiao looked up at Lin Chen and asked.
"It's not about liking or disliking. Ai Tutu is a bit carefree, but her heart isn't bad!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Then why did you suddenly think of moving out?" Mu Nujiao asked.
Lin Chen grinned and said, "I just want to have our own World!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Mu Nujiao's heart brightened, but her face showed no joy. Instead, she snorted coldly and said with some resentment, "Our own World, huh? You barely come back to stay for a few days each month. I can never find you, and I don't know what you're busy with all day!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "What else could I be doing? Of course, I'm cultivating. If you don't want to move, then forget it!"
Upon reflection, Mu Nujiao was right. Since he disappeared so often, moving out might not be a good choice for Mu Nujiao.
At least, with Ai Tutu, they could look out for each other!
Seeing that Lin Chen had said so, Mu Nujiao didn't say anything more. Although she was annoyed by Lin Chen's busyness, she didn't dwell on it too much. She wasn't the type of woman who liked to constantly cling to a man. Likewise, she also needed a lot of personal space for cultivation. If she only focused on dating and not cultivating, she truly couldn't do it.
Mu Nujiao gently slipped out of Lin Chen's embrace, put her phone aside, and got up to get dressed.
Lin Chen asked, "What's wrong? Getting up so fast? Don't you want to rest a bit longer?"
Mu Nujiao gently shook her head and said, "No, it's getting late. I still need to buy groceries!"
Lin Chen smiled and didn't try to persuade her further. It had to be said, Mu Nujiao was very virtuous, much like a good wife and loving mother.
"I'll go with you!" Lin Chen got up and said.
Since Mu Nujiao was up, Lin Chen didn't linger in bed either. He might as well accompany Mu Nujiao to buy groceries, just to relax his mind.
The afternoon passed quickly. Lin Chen and Mu Nujiao were like a newlywed couple, buying a pile of things at the market and supermarket.
After returning home, Mu Nujiao started to get busy, while Lin Chen helped out, acting like a devoted husband following his wife's lead.
Before long, four dishes and one soup were on the table. Ai Tutu seemed to smell the aroma of the food and just happened to return home.
The three sat down to eat. Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao chatted incessantly. Ai Tutu was very curious about the experiences from this training.
"Such people are truly deranged! What they did is no different from the Black Vatican! Killing them is too easy!" Ai Tutu said angrily while chewing her food.
Although Ai Tutu was carefree, she hated evil as if it were her enemy. This might also be related to her background; strictly speaking, she was also part of Wei Fang.
Soon, the three of them finished all the food on the table. Ai Tutu pulled Mu Nujiao into conversation, leaving Lin Chen to clean up.
From the kitchen, Lin Chen could hear Ai Tutu's incessant chattering from afar. He smiled wryly as he washed the dishes.
After cleaning up, Lin Chen said goodbye to Mu Nujiao and quickly left the villa. Lin Chen arrived at a two-bedroom apartment not far from the villa, directly closed the door, and disappeared from the spot.
Inside the Spirit Realm Palace, a stunningly beautiful woman sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. A faint purple light emanated from her body, flickering and shimmering beautifully. After an unknown amount of time, the continuously flickering light finally settled, and the woman slowly opened her starry eyes, a hint of joy appearing in her beautiful gaze.
This stunning woman was none other than Bibi Dong!
"Hmm? How long have you been here?" Just having emerged from her cultivation state, Bibi Dong finally noticed a familiar figure in her boudoir.
"Not long. I saw you were breaking through, so I didn't disturb you! How was it? Was the breakthrough smooth?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Bibi Dong nodded gently, a beautiful smile gracing her exquisite face. She said, "It was very smooth. I just broke through to Spirit Saint!"
The spirit power feedback from Lin Chen's spirit power level combined with the perfected Yin Yang Art was very considerable. In the Douluo cultivation system, Spirit Saint was a significant hurdle. Lin Chen could be said to have contributed greatly to Bibi Dong's rapid breakthrough to Spirit Saint.
"Congratulations! You're one step closer to your goal!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong seemed to recall something. She frowned slightly, and a hint of struggle appeared on her fair face.
"It's still not enough. The gap between her and me is still too large!" Bibi Dong said faintly.
The 'her' Bibi Dong referred to was naturally Bibi Dong from the Douluo I plane. That plane's Bibi Dong was already progressing towards super Douluo.
And she had only just broken through to Spirit Saint. There was already a huge gap between Spirit Saint and Titled Douluo, not to mention that Bibi Dong from the Douluo I plane was already a super Douluo. The difference in their spirit power levels was more than twenty ranks, a gap that could not be closed in the short term.
"Haste makes waste. Take your time!" Lin Chen comforted her.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Chen and asked, "I want to attach spirit rings now!"
Lin Chen said helplessly, "I don't think it's necessary. The benefits of absorbing spirit rings when you reach Titled Douluo are more significant. At your current cultivation speed, it's only a matter of two or three years!"
Seeing Lin Chen's firm refusal, Bibi Dong no longer hesitated. She was already conflicted; if she were to attach spirit rings now, she was confident she could advance to Spirit Douluo in the short term, but doing so would sacrifice her future.
