"What? Don't want to eat dinner, want to eat me instead?"
Gu Xun shot Dong Qianqiu a glance as he spoke. Dong Qianqiu froze for a moment before realizing the implication of Gu Xun's words, her face instantly flushing crimson.
"Rogue!"
"Alright, let's wash up and eat."
Watching Dong Qianqiu's flushed face, Gu Xun turned and headed for the bathroom to wash his hands. Dong Qianqiu glared at him, her cheeks puffed out in anger.
Soon after they finished washing, two more figures arrived—one pink, one golden.
"Lord Brother, I'm back!"
"Lord Brother!"
Yuan Enhuihui immediately greeted Gu Xun, who nodded in response. Di Qiu'er also greeted him.
Then, Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er noticed Dong Qianqiu sitting beside Gu Xun. Both pairs froze for a moment.
"What are you spacing out for? Go wash your hands and eat."
Gu Xun tapped the table. Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er complied, then sat down at the empty seats opposite him.
"Brother, who is this?"
Yuan Enhuihui curiously asked Gu Xun about the blue-haired girl beside him. Gu Xun introduced her.
"My classmate. She's visiting our home."
"Hello, I'm Dong Qianqiu. I'm Gu Xun's classmate."
Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er nodded in understanding, then enthusiastically introduced themselves to Dong Qianqiu.
"Di Qiu'er."
"Hi, hi! I'm Yuan Enhuihui. Welcome to our home!"
Seeing that the two weren't difficult to get along with, Dong Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't hard to deal with, that was fine.
After dinner, everyone chatted casually.
"Brother, I hit Level 20!"
Yuan Enhuihui looked at Gu Xun, clearly seeking praise. Gu Xun paused.
"Hmm, that's pretty good."
Gu Xun nodded. Level 20? To him, it was nothing special. But to Dong Qianqiu, it was different.
Wait—at the same age, Gu Xun was two levels above her, while Yuan En Huihui was four levels ahead, already a Spirit Grandmaster?!
Dong Qianqiu hesitated, speechless. True to her expectations, Gu Xun's friends were all exceptional talents.
"Brother, I'm level sixteen now."
Di Qiu'er announced her level too. Gu Xun nodded approvingly—four months of cultivation from level ten to sixteen was quite impressive.
"Brother, do you think I should attach a spirit ring to my second martial spirit now?"
Di Qiu'er looked to Gu Xun for guidance. He paused briefly—it really didn't matter either way.
After all, spirit rings could be directly enhanced now, and he could help extend Di Qiu'er's spirit ring lifespan regardless.
Gu Xun simply hadn't bothered upgrading, which was why he'd chosen to attach a spirit ring to his second martial soul that could automatically enhance itself based on the limits of his physical body.
"Well, that's up to you."
Gu Xun didn't care much about such things, while Dong Qianqiu was already stunned. One peer who was a Spirit Grandmaster was already beyond expectations, and now there was one with twin martial spirit.
Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. Compared to these two, Dong Qianqiu felt like an ordinary person.
"I have the day off tomorrow. Want to go out together?"
Gu Xun looked at Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er. Hearing that Gu Xun had the day off meant they did too.
Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er followed a schedule similar to Gu Xun's. During the day, Gu Xun would go to the Primary Academy to play.
Meanwhile, Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er studied theory and combat with the Spirit Queen and Di Tian.
Their schedules mirrored Gu Xun's exactly—when Gu Xun had class, they had class; when Gu Xun had a day off, they had a day off.
"Great! Great! Where should we go, Brother?"
Yuan Enhuihui, thrilled at the prospect of going out, immediately chimed in. Gu Xun pondered for a moment, unsure where to take them.
"How about exploring Heaven Dou Planet?"
Gu Xun suggested, and both Yuan Enhuihui and Di Qiu'er agreed without objection.
After some casual conversation, everyone retired for the night. Gu Xun tidied up an empty room before stepping out.
With a single wave of his hand, a fierce gust of wind swept all the dust from the room.
He then conjured numerous pieces of furniture and furnishings, equipping the space with everything one could need.
Dong Qianqiu was utterly stunned. She watched as Gu Xun placed a small toy bed onto the floor, and instantly, a large bed materialized.
Worried Dong Qianqiu might sleep awkwardly, Gu Xun placed two beds side by side. Wardrobes, tables, chairs—all the furnishings followed suit.
"You can stay here for now. Let me know if anything's missing, and I'll get it for you."
Gu Xun addressed Dong Qianqiu, who remained utterly stunned by how Gu Xun had furnished an entire room in under a minute.
"No need, no need. This is perfectly fine."
Dong Qianqiu waved his hands hurriedly. She was only staying for a few days; she didn't need much.
Gu Xun nodded in agreement, then stepped out of the room and said.
"My room is the first one. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come find me."
