After staying on Sea God Island for two weeks, Ning Bei decided to set sail and return.
Before leaving, he once again urged the little ones to pay attention to teamwork in order to pass this second test, and not to act recklessly alone, as this second test was still very dangerous.
"We know, Big Brother Ning Bei, we're not idiots, especially Rongrong, she's a support, how could she pass the Ring Sea without Sister Xiao Wu."
The Little Rabbit's appearance of understanding everything successfully amused everyone, and Ning Bei tapped her head in annoyance.
"You only have one life, so you can't be too careful. Alright, I've said everything I need to say. I have things to take care of in Heaven Dou City, so you guys do your best."
Dugu Yan looked at him with some reluctance, because this departure meant that everyone wouldn't see each other for about a whole year.
But Ning Bei couldn't do without the Heaven Dou's full-scale attack on Star Luo, so he could only harden his heart and turn to leave.
As long as they could pass the second test, the Sea God's third test didn't seem too difficult, it was considered a welfare test, and Ning Bei had confidence in them.
After spending two days returning to the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Bei went directly to the Imperial Palace.
In the study, Qian Renxue, who was dealing with government affairs, heard the movement and looked up to see Ning Bei, her beautiful eyes immediately lighting up.
"You're back, how was it, did you pass the test?"
"Of course, now all that's left is Grandpa Qian's side."
"Oh? Do you need me to take you there in advance?"
It was originally agreed that they would go to find Qian Daoliu for the God Test after the Star Luo matter was over, but Qian Renxue was afraid that her man wouldn't want to wait, so she proposed to take him to see her grandfather in advance.
Ning Bei shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind waiting a few more days.
"No need, let's just follow the original plan, there's no need to rush."
"Speaking of which, you're even more tired now that you're the emperor than before."
Ning Bei felt a little sorry for her. Since the Heaven Dou coup, every time he came to the Imperial Palace, the Little Angel was basically dealing with government affairs. Although she sometimes did this when she was the Crown Prince, many documents related to the country's lifeline would not be handed over to her to deal with.
"What else can I do? Do you think everyone is like you, used to being a hands-off shopkeeper?"
Qian Renxue glared at him, feeling that her man was making sarcastic remarks.
Ning Bei touched his nose, his expression a little embarrassed. It was true, as the Little Angel said, he had basically handed over the management of the several forces he had established to others.
The Ice God Hall's Arctic Branch was handed over to Little Snowflake, the Heavenly Water Branch was handed over to the Shui Family, the Spirit Hall Branch was handed over to Chrysanthemum Guan, and the Seven Treasure City was fully represented by Ning Fengzhi.
This was just the Ice God Hall, and now the Ma Yinglong Pharmacy, which had spread throughout the continent, was also his largest shareholder. Ma Yinglong, that little fatty back then, had not disappointed him, and had managed the chain pharmacy with great success. This was a hidden piece that Ning Bei had buried for his first Spirit, and it might play a big role in the future.
"I was just thinking, just Heaven Dou alone is making you so busy that you can't leave the palace, if you add Star Luo, wouldn't you be worked to death?"
"Tch, how is that possible? After Star Luo is taken down and the continent is unified, of course I'll have Grandpa send someone over to manage it. I still have to go back and accept the Angel God Trial."
"Then your years of undercover work will be for nothing?"
"Uh..."
Qian Renxue's expression suddenly choked, what you said makes so much sense, I can't refute it.
"Then do you think I should stay here and continue to be the emperor?"
"That's not it, I was just saying it casually, I just feel sorry for your years of hard work."
"Tch, as long as the continent belongs to Spirit Hall, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. At worst, I'll just..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence, noticing the Little Angel's face suddenly turning red. Ning Bei roughly knew what the second half of the sentence was, and teased with a smile:
"Then you'll have to have a few more, what if you give birth to a little纨绔."
Hearing Ning Bei mock her unborn child, Qian Renxue was embarrassed and annoyed, and scolded him with a smile.
"Get lost, this old lady won't give birth to such a useless child."
After the joke, the two also talked about serious matters.
"When do you plan to attack Star Luo?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue put on the expression a superior should have, and said with a well-thought-out plan:
"In another month, it will be Dai Tianyu's 60th birthday. As the emperor, he will definitely celebrate it lavishly. Let's give him a birthday gift."
She hadn't forgotten the greeting gift the other party had given her when she ascended the throne a year ago. Women are very vengeful.
Ning Bei found the expression on the Little Angel's face, as if a great revenge was about to be avenged, quite amusing. However, it was indeed a good opportunity. Thinking about the whole Star Luo celebrating together, it would inevitably be the moment when the border defense was the most lax.
What's more, Ning Bei planned to use the Beast Tide as the vanguard, which the other party would definitely not be able to defend against.
"Alright, don't deploy the troops to the border yet, so as not to alert the enemy. I'll use the Beast Tide to stir up the situation for them first."
"Don't worry, the three cities captured by Star Luo are located within the Pelage Kingdom. I will station troops in the more rearward Fasinuo Province to await the opportunity."
"Okay, you can arrange it yourself. I'll just take care of the Beast Tide. Then I'll set off for the Star Dou Great Forest in a month."
"Good!"
After discussing the matter of using troops against Star Luo, Ning Bei brought up Bibi Dong's actions again.
"By the way, your old mom might also have some movements."
"Hmm? You also know she's going to move against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Ning Bei was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the Little Angel to have also received the news.
"Oh? So you know too. Did she send someone to tell you, or did she come in person?"
"Yue Guan was sent to tell me. We agreed to meet at Spirit Hall after taking Star Luo."
"That's fine then. I thought I was the only messenger between you two?"
Hearing this, the Little Angel gave him a beautiful roll of her eyes. How big is your face? Putting aside the identity of mother and daughter, they are both people belonging to the Spirit Hall camp. Why should they let you be the messenger?
"How is your disciple's God Test going?"
"The first trial has been completed, and now he is preparing for the next trial. I will go and see after I complete the eighth trial."
"Well, what about Tang San? Is there any news about that Tang San?"
Ever since learning about the filth of the gods, the Little Angel had placed Tang San in the position of a confidant's trouble. Even the entire Star Luo was not as important as him. After all, even if Star Luo could not be taken down, Spirit Hall would still be there. But if Tang San grew up, he would really threaten the foundation of her Qian family. Asking Ning Bei about the Sea God's trial progress was also for this reason.
"It's not clear yet. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until A'Dai and the others come out to get the latest news. I don't know if they can successfully walk out of Hell Road."
Compared to the little ones on Sea God Island, Ning Bei was obviously more worried about A'Dai's safety. Slaughter City was a much more dangerous place.
However, this was A'Dai's own choice, and Ning Bei couldn't interfere with his decision, only hoping that the Pills and Soul Bone he had given him would be effective.
"Alas, this is too passive."
Seeing the Little Angel's worried expression, Ning Bei stepped forward, ruffled her hair, and comforted her, "There's no need to be so anxious. It won't be easy for the other party to become a god either. His God Test will definitely conflict with ours. When that time comes, we'll just have to adapt to the situation."
