With the medicine given by Lu Yao, Li Ning's injuries were mostly healed, but her body still needed to recuperate.
The Su sisters weren't too surprised by Li Ning's arrival. Su Tang had investigated Xie Wei beforehand in order to win him over, and Su Miaomiao had also heard Xu Daiwei mention this matter.
However, the two were still quite surprised when they learned that Li Ning was the Holy Maiden of the Underworld. What surprised them even more was that Xie Wei had become the Holy Son of Asura. Given their relationship, it was as if the Underworld would serve Xie Wei in the future.
The Su sisters returned to the Su family to discuss the selection of the next family head and the next guardian.
Originally, Old Master Su had designated Su Tang as the next head of the family. However, after getting what she wanted, Su Tang had no intention of taking that position. Moreover, as the head of the family, she would be forever trapped within the Su family and prioritize the interests of the Su family. She had something more important in her heart, so she refused when Old Master Su proposed this matter. However, she promised to assist the Su family in a supportive manner.
Su Miaomiao wants to participate in the martial arts competition for the next Guardian of the Dao. With her and Xie Wei's continuous efforts, he has now reached the peak of the Acquired Realm and is only one step away from the Innate Realm.
The way to determine the successor of the Guardian is through a martial arts competition within the family, and the winner becomes the next Guardian.
Among this generation, apart from Su Miaomiao, there are three people in the Su family who are capable of competing for that position. These three are also the biggest threat to Su Miaomiao. Two of them are in the early stage of the Innate Realm, while the remaining one has just entered the middle stage of the Innate Realm. Even so, the difference in realm is a significant factor, and he has become the most promising candidate to win the championship.
There's still some time before the family martial arts competition. With Taiyin and Xie Wei around, Su Miaomiao can take advantage of this time to reach the early stage of the Innate Realm, which will give her a fighting chance then.
Moreover, Su Miaomiao's goal was not that position.
Having gained experience in forging spirit stones, Xie Wei learned the spatial forging method very quickly. After mastering the spatial forging method, Xie Wei began to practice it.
After successfully crafting the storage ring, he retrieved the ring from the four women to upgrade it.
Thanks to Xie Wei's increased strength, the new generation of the ring can now withstand three fatal blows below the level of entry into battle, and it also has a storage space of ten cubic meters. He used his spiritual power to dye the new version of the ring and returned it to the women.
It was a magical artifact after all, and calling it a ring all the time sounded rather unpleasant. So everyone named it "Qingxin" (倾心), which was Xie Wei's promise to the women.
During his forging training, Xie Wei also introduced Xie Lan to the three women. With her current spiritual energy at the Breaking Mortal Realm, it was no longer a problem for Xie Lan to be out in public. After all, they would be spending time together in the future, so he introduced her to everyone.
Xie Lan's affairs were too complicated and involved cause and effect, so apart from Su Tang, Xie Wei introduced Xie Lan to the other three as the gun spirit of the Asura Purgatory Gun, which is why he has this special way of being.
Seeing the familiarity and tacit understanding between Xie Wei and Xie Lan, it didn't seem like they had just met. Although he had some doubts, he had his reasons for not wanting to say anything. The three women didn't expose him and started to talk to Xie Lan.
The storage stones that Li Ning brought back were large enough that Xie Wei took out some and forged some storage rings ranging from one cubic meter to five cubic meters, intending to send them to the Underworld.
Li Ning was injured, so Xie Wei couldn't ask her to return the ring. Besides the Yama Kings and Asuras from back then, Xie Wei didn't know anyone else in the underworld.
Li Ning told him that he could infuse some spiritual power into the Asura Token, which would then emit special sound waves that only local members could sense, and at that time they would appear in front of him.
Xie Wei tried the method she suggested and it worked. However, he seemed to have overdone it, and more than a dozen men in black came one after another, all kneeling and calling Xie Wei "Holy Son".
Xie Wei hadn't expected so many people from the Underworld to be within the Dragon Kingdom. Li Ning explained that this was normal, as most of the Underworld's assassins were from the Dragon Kingdom and had their own lives there when they weren't on missions.
Finally, Xie Wei left one person behind to deliver the storage artifact to the Lord of the Underworld.
The manor lord who received the storage artifact thought it was a betrothal gift from Xie Wei to Li Ning, and it emitted a terrifying aura, making the person who delivered the ring feel suffocated.
If it weren't for the Asura who sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy and arrived in time, that person felt he would have perished in the mansion.
Shura gestured for him to leave quickly, as he dared not stop for even a moment.
"You old codger, is this how you supervise that brat?!" The manor lord tossed the storage artifact Xie Wei had given him to Shura. "You're here to deliver our daughter to that brat!"
...
They were unaware that the raw materials used to create these storage artifacts were obtained by Li Ning through great effort; otherwise, things would have been even more disastrous.
Xie Wei, who was far away in China, was completely unaware of this matter.
Xu Daiwei is going to work at Qiyuan, Su Miaomiao is interning at Qianxun, Su Tang is currently composing songs, Li Ning is a foodie who wants to make her own food and spends all her time in the kitchen researching recipes, while Xie Lan is sitting on the sofa eating snacks and watching melodramatic dramas.
Strangely enough, as long as these snacks are placed in the system space, Xie Lan has a way to transform them into something that spirits can also eat, saying it's through some kind of energy conversion between quantum particles, which Xie Wei doesn't quite understand.
What the women envy is that this way of eating allows them to enjoy the flavors without gaining weight.
"You stinky Xie Wei! Come quick!" Xie Lan suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Xie Wei was in the kitchen instructing Li Ning on her cooking skills. Li Ning also came out from the side wearing a green apron and holding a spatula, looking every bit the little cook.
