News of An Ge's awakening quickly reached Jiang Shang and the others, who breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it. For them, An Ge was their pillar of strength.
Sanwa and Yier took Ange's spots on either side, their eyes filled with longing. Xiaoqi, seeing that she had only been distracted for a moment and already had her good spot taken, was not to be outdone and kept squeezing closer to Ange.
With a roar, Long Aotian pounced into An Ge's arms, giving the others a defiant look. "I'm a little female dragon, you can't be envious of me being in An Ge's arms."
Xiao Qi was unconvinced and was about to transform into her beast form when she saw Hu Jiu's deathly gaze and instantly abandoned the idea. Hu Jiu's aura was growing stronger and stronger, and he was even more petty than before; she couldn't afford to provoke him, and dared not provoke him.
Meng Xia smiled; since she and Xiao Ge'er could live together, she wouldn't get involved in arguing about this.
An Ge hugged Long Aotian and smiled at everyone, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm perfectly fine now. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Everyone shook their heads. Rong Zhuo chuckled and said, "It's good that the shopkeeper is alright. The soil and water in the post-apocalyptic world have entered a comprehensive improvement phase. However, we are currently lacking plant seeds. These are the types that are missing. Please remember to replenish them when you have time, shopkeeper."
Zhang Zhengyi said with an honest face, "The branch stores are running out of stock. If we delay any longer, it will definitely cause panic. This is a list of urgently needed supplies. When are you available?"
"There's nothing seriously wrong with the guest rooms at the main store, but I feel like the few employees I've been training recently are ready to graduate. Would the store manager like to personally assess them?" Chang Jin asked gently.
Liu Tingxue quickly said, "The branch store matter is more urgent. The purification potion can now be widely used, but some high-level ability users are still putting up a stubborn resistance. Gu Yixin and Meng Xia cannot clear the black mist well, so the store manager still needs to take action."
Even Chef Wei, who had been mostly silent, chuckled and said, "I heard that the area has been purified enough to grow crops there. The manager needs to arrange for the source of ingredients as soon as possible. Everyone is looking forward to the restaurant's opening."
Lu Yan chimed in, "What you're saying are minor matters. The most urgent thing is to get the store manager to the branch plane as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. Without the store manager, Wen Zihao can't convince so many high-level ability users, and the base construction has also been hindered."
Meng Xia nodded, "Yes, Xiao Ge'er, there are many things waiting for you to handle at the base."
An Ge's head was throbbing with pain. Was it too late for her to take back what she had said?
"With Hu Jiu there, you guys..."
Hu Jiu smiled helplessly, "Stop teasing her. Apart from the purification which requires your help, I've taken care of almost everything else."
An Ge looked at Hu Jiu with emotion, "Hu Jiu is still the best!"
"This is a formal occasion, you two better be serious." Jiang Shang looked at the two of them with annoyance. Accepting Hu Jiu was one thing, but taking advantage of his own wife in front of them was another. He would never admit that he was jealous.
"Ahem, Master, I was just about to tell you that since the higher-ups have given you a deadline, we can't go too far against the gods. I'm sure I won't be in any more danger here, so you can go to the divine realm with peace of mind."
An Ge had always felt guilty that her master couldn't enter the gates of the Divine Realm because of her. Now that she had the chance, she couldn't let her master down.
Jiang Shang sighed. He used to dream of going to the Divine Realm, but now he truly didn't want to leave. However, the other party had already backed down, and he couldn't push his luck too far. He couldn't just stay cooped up in the inn forever.
"I know, we can talk about this later, there's still time."
Seeing her master's tone soften, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Master, maybe we'll be reunited soon."
Everyone was startled. "Manager, what do you mean?"
An Ge and Xiao Qi proudly raised their heads, their similar faces filled with the same pride. "That's right, my godhood is just a little bit away from perfection. In less than a hundred years, I will definitely reach the God Realm."
An Ge never expected that saving a plane would bring such a great reward. In addition to becoming more powerful, she also gained the faith of the entire plane. With the help of divine power and divinity, Xiao Qi grew to this size in just one month.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing An Ge's words, "There's still a hundred years left, thank goodness."
An Ge… This scene is not what I imagined. “Didn’t you always want to ascend? Why do you look unhappy?”
Hu Jiu explained with a smile, "It's probably because everyone's illusions about the Divine Realm have been shattered, and they want a more stable life."
Even Zhang Zhengyi, who had just become a divine servant, chimed in, "Hu Jiu is right. I think the Divine Realm is just so-so now, not as fun as opening a shop. If opening a shop in the Divine Realm is blocked, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."
An Ge really wanted to yell, "Where are your aspirations?! How come you're becoming more and more like her?" But she had to admit that hearing everyone say that made her a little happy.
Only salted fish can find kindred spirits with each other!
An Ge rested at the main store for nearly half a month before being allowed to leave when the portal reopened, making her feel like a porcelain doll.
As soon as An Ge stepped out of the spatial gate, she sensed a difference. If this place had previously felt oppressive and stagnant with spiritual energy, it now felt vibrant and alive. Although the spiritual energy wasn't abundant, it was still significantly higher than in the ancient martial arts world.
I had heard before that this plane was a low-level plane, but the spiritual power it possesses now is definitely more than just that of a low-level plane.
Could it be that the plane has been upgraded? Just as An Ge was thinking this, she arrived at a familiar place.
"An Ge, thank you."
An Ge was somewhat surprised, "Heavenly Dao, you're still alive? No, are you still the same Heavenly Dao as before?"
Tiandao choked, his initial emotion vanishing instantly. He couldn't help but sigh at how this person could ruin the atmosphere. "Yes, I am still the same person. However, compared to before, I have leveled up. This plane has now been promoted to a mid-level plane."
An Ge was also happy for Tiandao. Although Tiandao wasn't exactly reliable, he wasn't malicious and had helped her a lot. "Congratulations!"
"I summoned you here today to express my gratitude."
How are you going to thank me?
Heavenly Dao… Could you please give her a little more time to be moved? Although she knew An Ge would say that, she was still speechless when faced with it. “After my advancement, I gained some more power of rules. Your arrival is fortunate for this plane. How about I give you some luck points?”
Normally, luck is extremely important to the Heavenly Dao, but this plane is like a newborn entity; it doesn't need luck to maintain its rules. Even if a portion of luck is allocated, it won't have any impact on it.
An Ge was inwardly excited, but her tone remained extremely calm, as if she didn't want to make things difficult for the other party, "Okay!"
Tiandao was somewhat moved; it seemed it had misunderstood Ange, as the other party had not made an exorbitant demand.
