Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Changzhou casually left the conference room.
He originally only intended to reward the person with the greatest contribution and leave immediately after the event. However, because the first place went to Bea Triss, and the spot was postponed, he stayed a little longer.
Stepping out of the conference room, right by the window in the hallway, Li Changzhou asked Bi, "What are your plans?"
“My father wants Mars, so a branch office will do, and you can manage it,” Bi said.
“Okay.” Li Changzhou nodded.
He didn't care before, but now he'd love for someone to expand his territory.
“You can take with you any people who are willing to follow your father,” he continued. “And what about yourself?”
“I want to be a Martian princess for a few years and see if I can establish my own divine kingdom. If not, I’ll come back to you,” Bi said.
Li Changzhou felt a little melancholy.
He and Bi had been together for a long time. Although she was young, he still regarded her as a friend and comrade-in-arms. Now that she was leaving Value Game, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Most players who become immortals will make the same choice as Bi, and even the Little Martial Saint will no longer enter the dungeon once a month as before.
Perhaps they will only return to the game for a final gamble when their lives are nearing their end.
Li Changzhou, however, could not.
His position didn't allow it, his experience didn't allow it, and the curse of the 'Ancient God' hadn't been lifted; he had to keep moving forward.
Fortunately, he had his sister, Yang Qinglan, and Yaochi by his side.
The thought of walking together forever deepened his feelings for Yaochi.
There are many reasons to like someone, and this is perhaps one of the reasons why Yaochi wants to become his lover. Only in this way can she completely get rid of loneliness—compared to Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan, she is indeed an outsider.
Li Changzhou reached out and stroked Bi's golden hair, saying, "If you need anything, just come to me."
Give me a hundred candy factories!
"no."
"Then what are you touching? Am I someone you can touch?" Bi pushed his hands away, crossed her arms, and angrily ignored him.
Li Changzhou smiled and took out a bottle of the Fountain of Immortality, a peach of immortality, and twenty Qi Radiance.
"Take it, consider it a reward for your help during this time. The Fountain of Youth can be used by your parents."
Bi looked at each item one by one, and her eyes lit up when she saw the peach: "How come there's only one!"
"I still need to go back and get approval for this one, and I might get scolded again. Don't be ungrateful."
"Pfft!" Zheng Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hmph~" Bi put the things away and patted Li Changzhou's chest in an old-fashioned manner, "If you need anything, come to this princess, and this princess will help you."
"Definitely, definitely." Li Changzhou replied with a smile, then looked at Zheng Qing, "Sister Qing, are you interested in becoming the Sea God?"
When Zheng Qing walked out of the office, she had imagined that she would obtain a divine position, but she did not expect that Li Changzhou actually had this plan.
“I will strip you of your player status and send you to deal with the ocean players on Earth. It’s fine if you don’t want to,” Li Changzhou continued.
“Of course I’m willing,” Zheng Qing said. “This is a great opportunity that players would love to have. I’m just afraid that I’m not capable enough.”
"With divine power, there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it."
Li Changzhou used the power of "All Under Heaven are Subjects of the King" to strip Zheng Qing of her player status, causing all her abilities to disappear and transforming her into the Sea Goddess.
"Choose someone to inherit the abilities of the Hungry Ghost Realm."
"Hmm." Zheng Qing felt her weakness, and... her strength.
As the five stars were once again enveloped in golden clouds and everyone knelt in worship, Li Changzhou returned to the Honey Pot World, concluding his trip to reorganize the head office.
"Hmm—" He stretched and felt relaxed all over.
He preferred the naturalness and freedom of the honeypot world to staying at headquarters and enjoying the power of being above thousands of others.
He removed the fragrant leaf crown, his long hair became short, and he changed his loose-sleeved robe into a T-shirt and casual pants. Li Changzhou rubbed his hair, which became messy.
He strolled slowly across the Bird's Nest Plain, hands in his pockets.
Reaching the Fountain of Immortality, under the peach tree, just in time for the daily reprimand of Little Radish and Butterfly by Yaochi—Butterfly had also nibbled on half a peach.
Yaochi sat up from the Yin Qi coffin.
Little Radish knelt beside the coffin, while Butterfly lay on her back; one might mistake them for people who had come to see Yaochi off on her final journey.
Li Changzhou watched with amusement, like someone observing a neighbor's parents beating their child.
"...After eating so many peaches, starting from the next mission, you two will be my maids and come with me into dungeons, understand?"
"We don't want to go..."
"Don't want to go? Do you want to die?"
"...Okay, I'm going." Little Radish's comic book eyes were watery.
"What are you crying for? It's like I'm threatening you. This is making amends for your mistakes, it's what you should do!" Yaochi flicked Little Radish on the head and knocked her down.
The little radish seized the opportunity to escape, while the butterfly slowly disappeared.
"I'm so angry!" Yaochi lay back in the coffin, her full chest heaving.
"It's just seven peaches, why get so worked up?" Li Changzhou said with a smile as he squatted down beside the coffin, one hand resting on it.
The Yin Qi Coffin can enhance the cultivation speed of females. It was rarely used before, but after Yang Qinglan became an Earth Immortal, Yaochi also began to cultivate inside the coffin.
Lying down like that, I found it quite comfortable.
Yaochi rolled her eyes at him: "You're quite nice to your own people, but who did you give peaches to just now?"
At this point, it's necessary to change the subject.
“I’m so good to them, guess how good I am to you?” Li Changzhou asked with a smile.
"How is it?" Yaochi asked, intrigued.
"I'll close the coffin lid for you myself." Li Changzhou closed the coffin lid.
"Li Changzhou!" Yaochi's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from inside the coffin.
Li Changzhou laughed heartily.
"You seem quite happy." Yang Qinglan's meaningful voice came from behind.
Not to mention Li Changzhou, even Guanyin trembled.
