It was past three in the night, and the moon hung high in the sky.
The feast finally came to an end.
Su Shi looked at the heavily intoxicated Yu Ren’er with a frown and asked, “Your alcohol tolerance is not good, why did you still drink so much?”
She stopped all the fox girls who came to toast and drank at least two large barrels herself.
With a flushed face, Yu Ren’er slurred, “It’s fine, I can still drink.” Su Shi sighed in exasperation and amusement, “Those girls just came to clink glasses with me, was it necessary for you to compete like this?”
Yu Ren’er shook her head. Although her eyes were blurred from the alcohol, she tried her best to put on a serious expression and said, “Only then can I prevent these vixens from getting close to Brother Su Shi.”
Su Shi shook his head and said, “Are you saying you yourself are not a vixen?”
“I....” Before she could finish her sentence, she bumped her forehead on the table.
Su Shi was startled. As he carefully looked, he realized that she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Su Shi sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly. He helped Ren’er up and looked around, only to find that everyone had left without a trace.
The hall was empty, not even a single servant could be seen.
“Ren’er, where is your room?”
Ren’er mumbled drowsily, “Mmm...”
Su Shi let out a sigh.
It seems like I’ll have to take her back to my own room first.
Su Shi lifted her up and walked out.
In the corner of the hall, Yu Yuan was secretly observing this scene.
The elder fox by his side whispered, “Chief, is this appropriate? Miss Ren’er is innocent and a young girl. This could potentially put her in a disadvantageous position.”
Chu Yuan glanced at her warningly and said, “If she was going to be at a disadvantage, it would have happened long ago. Can’t you see Ren’er’s condition?”
The elder fox fell silent.
With her keen eyes, she could naturally see it.
Ren’er’s mind was distracted, her Yin energy hadn’t dissipated, and she had not yet completed sleep.
Yu Yuan himself had not expected that despite Su Shi’s seemingly carefree attitude, he had never crossed any boundaries.
Even after spending so much time at the Su family during the New Year’s Festival, nothing had happened.
“Could I have been mistaken?”
“Su Shi is not a playboy, but a respectable gentleman?”
Yu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered in silence.
He couldn’t have imagined that during the New Year’s Festival, just as the Empress had left, the Demon Emperor had come, and the two of them didn’t even have a chance to meet privately.
“When Ren’er is with Su Shi, I can rest assured. Let them cultivate their relationship.”
Yu Yuan turned and left with his hands behind his back.
[Plot Points: 160 points]
The plot points increased to 160.
“It seems like it’s been a long time since I last held a surprise meeting.”
Su Shi murmured to himself, deciding to hold one first.
Time passed and the words he had just spoken finally appeared before his eyes, a welcome sight after such a long absence.
Radiant light shimmered and sparkled.
A gift box emerged.
[Special reward: Promotion.]
“Special reward?” Su Shi looked surprised.
It had been a long time since he had seen those words.
According to the system’s mechanism, the reward pool would refresh with different blind boxes containing techniques, treasures, pills, and a possible special reward.
The higher the quality of the reward, the lower the probability of obtaining it.
The probability of obtaining a special reward was less than 1%.
In all this time, Su Shi had only received a special reward once, when he opened the proof box and obtained the “Holy-grade Perfect Talent.”
With an excited heart, he carefully looked at the reward description.
[Promotion: Can enhance the grade of other items and have the chance to gain new attributes or abilities. Targets for use include but are not limited to: treasures, pills, techniques, divine powers, etc. Can only be used once.]
[Note: Pills promoted cannot exceed Ninth Grade, treasures cannot exceed Holy-grade, divine powers and techniques cannot exceed Heavenly-grade.]
Su Shi looked worried. This was like giving him a chance to upgrade.
But it wasn’t just a simple enhancement, there was also a chance of gaining new abilities.
So the target for this promotion must be chosen carefully. Su Shi pondered seriously.
“For pills, there isn’t a suitable one currently, and I can refine the Ninth Grade Spirit Pills myself.”
“The sect is already filled with Holy-grade treasures, and the Dragon-Slayer Sword is enough for now, so I don’t need to consider treasures.”
“As for techniques and divine powers...
“They all seem to be at the Heavenly-grade, and there is no room for promotion.”
This “promotion” seemed good on the surface, but in reality, it had many restrictions. For Su Shi, who lacked resources, its effect was not as great as imagined. At this moment, Su Shi’s gaze paused on two words.
“Strange Objects.”
Strange Objects could also be promoted, and there were no restrictions.
An image immediately appeared in his mind.
He took out a scroll.
Unfolding it, a scene of majestic mountains and rivers emerged, a magnificent landscape before his eyes.
Strange Objects: Beautiful Landscape Painting!
