On the other side, in the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, within a laboratory of the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce that was temporarily serving as a cultivation room.
Inside the laboratory, the light was soft and the Energy stable. In the center, a young girl with long blue-pink hair sat quietly in meditation. Three distinct powers flowed and intertwined around her like tides, yet remained clearly separate. Behind her, a pair of butterfly wings with golden halos flowing along the edges slowly unfurled, radiating warmth and light. In front of her was a pitch-black, ancient, and heavy small hammer, emanating a sense of pure weight. Most powerful of all was the phantom at her side, dressed in azure noble attire. His facial features were sixty to seventy percent similar to a certain guy, but with softer lines, and his eyes bore a closer resemblance to the girl herself. Surrounded by an aura as vast as the ocean, her triple Spirits manifested simultaneously, yet operated freely without any sign of conflict.
At a certain moment, Wang Dong'er slowly opened her pinkish-blue eyes. The three Spirit phantoms around her naturally dissipated as her aura gradually settled. "Finally, it's fixed."
Wang Dong'er murmured softly, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably curling up with a hint of relief and joy. The issue with her Soul was finally resolved.
Previously, her Soul had been forcibly torn in half by that Lord Sea God and then directly patched with divine force and Divine Sense, leaving behind a very troublesome hidden danger. Fortunately, after a period of regular treatments performed every month or two by her Chairman, her Soul issues began to gradually improve until today, when it finally healed completely!
Now, she could finally perform preliminary control and mobilization of the Sea God Martial Soul, which she previously couldn't master. Unlike before, when she could only passively sense its existence, it felt like... ever since she fell into huge debt and became her Chairman's private assistant, everything had taken a turn for the better?
Donger reminisced for a moment. During this time, because her Chairman was quite busy, her daily work mostly consisted of slacking off. Thus, to avoid wasting time, she put all her effort into completing various commissions issued by the Chamber of Commerce to accumulate contribution points. She then used those points to exchange for Heaven And Earth Treasures and top-tier cultivation resources to rapidly increase her cultivation. With the foundation of triple Spirits, the potential of a Divine RankSpirit, plus her relentless hard work and the high-quality resources supplied by the Chamber under her high-level clearance, her progress speed was terrifying. Now, she was already a six-ring Spirit Emperor.
Exhaling slowly, Wang Dong'er ended her stray thoughts and glanced at the time. She remembered she had an appointment this afternoon for a commission to provide spirit power for making a custom spirit ring. Just as she stood up to head to the Spirit Ring Customization Workshop, Donger suddenly sensed her Sea God Martial Soul being stirred. Her gaze shifted to a spot in front of her. Immediately after, the space ahead rippled silently, like a water curtain being gently pushed aside, and two familiar figures stepped out. "Chairman!" Donger was slightly surprised and delighted, but then she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "And... Qiuer?"
Donger blinked, her beautiful pinkish-blue eyes shifting slightly as she accurately captured a certain detail. Her Chairman's hand was naturally holding Qiuer's hand, and Qiuer... although her face remained expressionless, she showed no intention of pulling away. "Oh?"
Donger raised an eyebrow, looking teasingly at her good friend. Qiuer seemed to realize Donger's gaze only belatedly. Her body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but then she paused. Ultimately, she just turned her face away somewhat unnaturally, avoiding Donger's gaze.
Donger understood instantly and chuckled inwardly. As expected... or should she say it was long foreseen?
Back when she first took on the debt and became the Chairman's private assistant, she had once nervously wondered if she would be pinned to the office desk and bullied into a hundred and eight different positions until she cried. However, the result was calm and uneventful; nothing happened. On the contrary, her good sister—who arrived later than her, seemed proud, and never gave the Chairman a good look, huffing and puffing as if she were about to pounce and bite him—had turned around and taken the initiative to be a maid serving tea and water. Now they were even holding hands. Tsk, looking at how accustomed she seemed, she had probably fallen quite deep. Life is truly unpredictable.
Wang Dong'er's eyes flickered as she slightly reined in her subtle emotions, then looked back at Kong Mingan. "Chairman, is there something else that needs to be handled?"
"Yes, I need to borrow your Sea God Martial Soul again," Kong Mingan said, then added, "Same old rule: it counts as a special mission with triple subsidy settlement."
Wang Dong'er's gaze instantly became more serious, and her back straightened involuntarily. "Please speak, Chairman. What do you need me to do?"
To the side, Qiuer watched Donger's reaction. It looked as if Donger would agree without hesitation even if Kong Mingan asked her to warm his bed in the next moment. Qiuer felt strangely odd; it seemed this guy had a specific way of dealing with each of them. For instance, with that Miss Ice Empress, he coaxed her; with that Miss Meng, they bickered... even with her, it seemed to be the case...
So why is this guy so experienced?
Qiuer fell into deep thought.
Within the borders of the Sun Moon Empire, deep in the Evil Demon Forest, at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
The current Holy Spirit Cult, under a certain strange acquiescence, was practically flourishing. Within the entire Sun Moon Empire, especially among those prisoners charged with heavy crimes and sentenced to death, a significant portion was secretly transported here through a series of unspeakable operations by a certain Crown Prince. They would be granted special conversion Cultivation Techniques; even if their original Spirit was not an evil one, it could be forcibly converted into an evil Spirit post-birth, making them an Evil Soul Master branded by the Holy Spirit Cult with no way back. Combined with the Evil Soul Masters who were originally scattered and had been continuously recalled in recent years, the number of Evil Soul Masters gathered at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters had reached a staggering level. There were as many as three digits of Spirit Douluo-level Elders alone, with even more Spirit Saint-level core members. As for those below Spirit Saint, they were countless. With the explosion in the number of Evil Soul Masters, it was naturally impossible for them all to crowd into the core headquarters. Thus, with the headquarters as the center, large areas of the surrounding forest were cleared and modified, and countless crude and bizarre buildings rose from the ground, forming a massive settlement where the law of the jungle served as the social order.
At this moment, inside a temporary tavern built of heavy black stone and twisted timber on the outskirts of the headquarters, the place was bustling with noise and a heated atmosphere. Groups of Evil Soul Masters were shouting loudly, and from time to time, someone would break out into a fight over a disagreement or simply to stretch their muscles. Spirit Abilities flew everywhere, yet the people around not only didn't stop them but instead erupted into bursts of cheers and applause, as if watching a wonderful entertainment program, appearing quite harmonious.
In a relatively quiet corner of the tavern, at a table, a few Evil Soul Masters with pale faces or eerie tattoos were chatting.
A man with a face as pale as a corpse was vividly describing: "...You guys have no idea, that courtesan surnamed Tang who just arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion last month, tsk, you simply can't imagine that taste! She's really moist!"
