Bibi Dong was beyond furious.
"Opening one's heart?"
"Why do I feel like you all are holding a criticism session against me?"
Gu Yuena and her group also burst out laughing.
Bibi Dong sat back down and said irritably, "Go on, keep talking!"
Spirit Kite Douluo smiled and said:
"Just as Liam labeled you, do you think 'ungrateful wolf' is accurate?"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at her, remaining silent as a form of tacit admission.
Spirit Kite Douluo continued:
"Just as Zhuqing said, Ning Rongrong was also pampered since childhood, so why is it that whenever something is on her mind, she thinks of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Therefore, this is your personal problem!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
Bibi Dong remained silent.
Although she didn't want to admit it, it was true. Had she considered Spirit Hall even a little, the outcome might have been different.
It was just as Liam had said—pitiful people must have something hateful about them.
Spirit Kite Douluo sat closer to Bibi Dong and spoke comfortingly:
"You were very well off."
"You had everything from childhood, possessed extraordinary talent, and were the Holy Maiden of the most powerful force on the continent. You stood at the top of the world early on."
"If I were as lucky as you, even if I had ten lives, I would be willing to die for Spirit Hall with all of them!"
The sea breeze blew, and the surface of the sea sparkled with starlight.
Bibi Dong and her group sat on the deck like that, watching the sea, the stars, and the moon, chatting about everything from personal stories to poetry, and from poetry to the philosophy of life.
Even Er Kang would say they were better conversationalists than him.
On the other side.
The Blue Silver Grass had already withered.
Even though Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor and possessed the talent of "wildfires cannot burn it all, it grows again with the spring breeze," she was still no match for the power of the Kunpeng Martial Soul.
The only regret was that Ah Yin had not yet received the reward for reaching Level 30 Spirit Power.
It seemed like she had truly given herself away for nothing.
But it wasn't for nothing.
She had made Liam pretend to be drunk and didn't let him speak. In this way, the relationship between the two only had a Breakthrough in one aspect,
Without a definitive confirmation.
The diary did not recognize this situation and would not give out a generous dowry.
Despite this, Ah Yin was already very satisfied.
Because Ah Yin was a Rebirth from a seed; other than being like a bud ready to bloom, her strength hadn't recovered much at all.
After Liam's Breakthrough this time, his body had undergone a transformation. His Dragon Essence already contained powerful energy. When this energy was poured into Ah Yin, she recovered a significant amount of her cultivation because of it.
Ah Yin was tired.
But Ah Yin's Spirit Power had recovered.
It was now dawn, and the sky was gradually brightening.
Liam lay on the bed with Ah Yin nestled in his arms. He gently stroked her blue hair while looking at the sky outside the window.
He felt emotional.
He felt relieved.
He felt that the Blue Silver Grass was truly moist.
Ah Yin whispered:
"Liam, Liam, thank you!"
Hearing this, Liam asked in confusion, "Thank me for what?"
Ah Yin's gentle voice came through: "Thank you for your Dragon Essence. It helped me recover a lot. If I could have a bit more, I think I'll soon be able to return to the Spirit Power Level of my previous life."
Liam's heart felt a bit complicated upon hearing Ah Yin's words.
He was very clear about the transformation after his Breakthrough. He knew the Dragon Essence contained power, and he could also feel the changes in Ah Yin's body.
But!
Ah Yin, oh Ah Yin?
It seems you haven't received a generous reward like the others, have you?
Are you satisfied with just this?
Liam rubbed Ah Yin's head and said softly, "If you still need Dragon Essence to recover, then go get it yourself!"
"Ah?"
Ah Yin was delighted at first, but then she immediately said hesitantly, "I... I don't seem to have the physical strength to get it right now."
"Silly girl!"
Liam chuckled. "Can't you think of another way?"
Ah Yin couldn't figure it out.
Liam thought for a moment and said:
"Let me tell you a story!"
"During the Spring and Autumn period, there was a man named Wu Zixu from the State of Chu who fled to the State of Wu. When he reached the Pishui River, he was so poor he couldn't even afford a meal. He crawled on the ground using his hands and knees, puffing out his cheeks to play the flute, begging for food along the streets like that."
"But he eventually made the State of Wu strong and helped Helü become a hegemon. This is the story of 'Playing the Flute to Beg for Food.' Ah Yin, do you understand?"
"Mhm!"
Ah Yin responded, having gained inspiration from the story. She realized a new Martial Soul Skill—Playing the Flute to Beg for Food.
It had to be said.
The Blue Silver Emperor's talent was truly extraordinary!
Liam closed his eyes in relief. After a while, he asked:
"Ah Yin, are you willing to let go of everything from the past and be my woman?"
"Mmm~"
Ah Yin responded, then stopped and looked at Liam with eyes full of affection and tenderness, asking:
"You don't despise me?"
Liam reached out and pinched Ah Yin's ear, saying in a gentle tone:
"If I despised you, would I have pretended to be drunk?"
Hearing Liam's words, a look of joy appeared on Ah Yin's face, and she said with a serious expression:
"I am willing!"
"Ah Yin is willing to be your woman. As long as you don't despise me or drive me away, I am willing to stay by your side forever."
Ding!
[Congratulations to Ah Yin for triggering the hidden mission rewards. Obtained: Spirit Power increased by ten Levels.]

Liam was very satisfied with Ah Yin's answer and pressed her head down.
Emoji.
By the way.
Bibi Dong and her group had been drinking and chatting all night.
They had just rushed back to lie down when they suddenly saw the reward notifications from the diary instance.
"What?"
Bibi Dong looked bewildered. She sat up and looked at Spirit Kite Douluo, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing, asking in confusion:
"What's going on?"
"Those two have been gone all night, and nothing happened the whole time. Why is it only happening early in the morning?"
"Could it be that the two of them were like us, chatting from poetry to the philosophy of life?"
Uh.
Spirit Kite Douluo and the other two were also full of confusion.
"Strange."
"Did it only start this morning?"
"But then again, Ah Yin's talent is quite impressive. She's self-taught and managed to get all three rewards."
Listening to the three of them, Bibi Dong suddenly realized:
"I think I understand."
"Remember you said before that Yan Yan and Rongrong had both forced a kiss on Liam, but they didn't get any rewards at the time."
"It's very likely that Ah Yin snatched Liam, so there were no rewards at first. Only after getting Liam's recognition, or when their hearts were in sync, did the diary instance issue the rewards."
[Spirit Kite Douluo and the others listened to Bibi Dong and, upon careful reflection, felt she was right!]
[Ye Lingling muttered:]
"Looking at the situation, that seems to be it."
"Ah Yin and Gu Yuena surely don't know about this. So I'm wondering, if they rush in one after another, will they really end up giving themselves away for nothing?"
