People’s joys and sorrows often differ.
At the entrance of the Su family home.
Just as Su Qi was worrying with a headache about how to resolve the beautiful girls’ shura field and how to avoid them settling scores after returning from the Saint Ruins…
Unlike Su Qi’s unease—
Perhaps because the last trip to explore the Saint Ruins and the stone tablet ended hastily without her showing off her abilities,
Or perhaps because she wanted to display her strength as an older sister in front of her cute little sister Su Qi,
Today, Su Lulu was acting very excited.
After receiving Su Qi’s Tencent message,
Su Lulu had not only equipped her Saint Ruins gear early but also grabbed her magic staff ahead of time.
Now, seeing Su Qi arrive at the entrance, she even took Little Red Pupil from Su Qi’s arms, then amidst the gazes of the other girls, pushed Su Qi back into the bedroom.
“Xiao Qi, go get ready. Xixi and I are already prepared. Once you change, we’ll head straight out from the Twilight Sun Guild. Today, I’m going to show you what I’ve got.”
Thump~
Pushed into the bedroom by Su Lulu,
Feeling the peculiar gazes from the beautiful girls behind him—now blocked by the door—Su Qi first let out a sigh of relief.
After all, the “shura field” mode was far too difficult for an introvert like Su Qi.
And perhaps because last night’s misunderstanding was quite serious, or because of the whispered words between An Xiaoling and Elder Sister Wen Yin just now,
At this moment, Su Qi felt that the girls’ looks toward her had taken on a predatory greed.
Without realizing it, she felt like a little lamb being hunted.
‘I definitely need to find a chance to explain things separately to each girl in the Saint Ruins this time!’
‘If they keep thinking I’m some pervert, all sorts of problems will come up later!’
Having made up her mind and taken a few deep breaths, Su Qi’s nervousness eased a bit.
Considering that Little Red Pupil was still holding back from Little Watermelon outside, and that she had just agreed to meet Professor Yang Ming at the Saint Ruins, she couldn’t delay either.
Su Qi quickly moved, gently opening her bedroom wardrobe.

As the wardrobe door swung open, several neatly arranged, soft women’s clothes came into view—there was the Little Devil Set, the New Bride Set, the Dragon Knight Set, and a shameful school swimsuit.
Looking at her empty, plain-colored wardrobe from when she was still a boy,
Now it was a bit fuller, with a soft, girlish feel.
Su Qi’s emotions grew complicated, and she felt a sense of loss.
‘Emmm… I’ve been a girl for so long without even realizing it.’
With a small sigh, she reached her fair hand toward the more stylish Dragon Knight Set.
After all, the Dragon Knight Set currently had the highest attribute panel, and even though she hadn’t used the Dragon Language and Dragon Riding techniques included in the set, Su Qi felt they sounded impressive.
In any case, it was better to be cautious when exploring the Saint Ruins.
Taking the set in hand, as she began to put it on,
Under the attribute boost, Su Qi felt a pleasant fullness and sense of power in her body.
This feeling was wonderful. But as she pulled the Dragon Knight Set’s top over her head, she accidentally touched her eyebrow.
Her right eye couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Meanwhile, as Su Qi, now dressed in the Dragon Knight Set, rode the elevator with the girls toward the Adventurers’ Guild,
In the Lower Layer of the Third Plane of the Saint Ruins,
The Night Butterfly Squad, the Hero Party, the Apocalypse Team—three S-rank squads—along with Professor Yang Ming and the presidents of the four Adventurers’ Guilds, were all gathered in front of the teleportation array, waiting for Su Qi and her group to arrive.
There were many reasons why the welcome party for Su Qi was so grand.
After watching the battle footage of the Bone Dragon and the Big Guy from yesterday,
The guild presidents decided to have a serious talk with Su Qi later about borrowing the Big Guy—
Oh no, now it was called the “Holy Beast.”
Professor Yang Ming wanted to discuss Su Qi’s ability and was curious about how she had contracted such a powerful beast.
As for the three adventurer squads, aside from taking on the escort mission for Su Qi, they were extremely curious about her.
After all, the “Su Ji Bento” craze from two days ago and the feedback from numerous adventurers were astonishing.
…
Su Qi’s bento not only provided buffs but also increased ability experience. Most importantly, it was incredibly delicious—said to bring a taste of happiness.
As high-rank adventurers with plenty of freedom and wealth, they all wanted to get on Su Qi’s good side. After all, eating her bento every day would surely be blissful.
Not to mention that from the videos, Su Qi was a lively, gorgeous super beauty!
And so, as everyone waited with different thoughts,
Roar~
A threatening bellow, accompanied by the crashing sound of a massive creature falling, suddenly echoed from outside the forest of the Third Plane.
For a moment, a large flock of birds fled in alarm from the Holy Ruins Forest.
As for this unexpected situation,
The high-rank adventurers didn’t pay much attention at first.
After all, the beasts of the Third Plane were generally stronger than those of the First and Second Planes.
Naturally, many enormous beasts had evolved.
Seeing these huge, straightforward creatures fight each other was a common sight in the Saint Ruins.
Besides, judging by the roars and tremors, the fight seemed to be quite far away. With scouts from three teams on watch, normal beast skirmishes wouldn’t cause any trouble.
But just as everyone was dismissing it, a warning from a scout caught their attention.
“Wait, this isn’t a normal beast battle. A beast has climbed up from the Fourth Plane and started fighting.”
From the Fourth Plane? Climbed up?
Hearing the scout’s words, several adventurers nimbly climbed tall trees to look into the distance.
…
After just a few glances, the adventurers’ brows furrowed.
“This aura feels the same as the Pitch Black Beast from yesterday.”
“Wait, that direction… it’s the junction of the Fourth and Third Planes.”
“Last time only two were sent. This time there are five, and they all look incredibly strong.”
Professor Yang Ming, standing under the trees, listened to the scouts’ reports and fell into deep thought.
If the two Pitch Black Beasts from yesterday were just scouts,
Then normally, after being eliminated, the Demon King should have stayed quiet for a while.
After all, probing each other’s strength was the basic principle of battle.
But it had only been a few hours, and the Demon King was already acting again.
Moreover, the scale and commotion of the dark mana seemed much larger than yesterday.
No matter how you looked at it, this was far too impatient.
Could it be that the Demon King had sensed something during yesterday’s battle and was now panicking?
While Professor Yang Ming was pondering,
“Wait, the direction those Pitch Black Beasts are heading… is it the Forest of Purple Trees?”
The Forest of Purple Trees.
Hearing that name, Professor Yang Ming was momentarily stunned.
Then he quickly realized — that was where the Big Guy lived.
He had planned to go there with Su Qi later.
Could it be that the Pitch Black Beasts’ mission was specifically targeting the Big Guy?
