Chapter 171 - Chapter 171: The Return of the Group Members; After the Storm

After all, if this wasn't explained clearly now, it could lead to a "Chasing Wife to the Crematorium" situation later.

Beside them, Yao Lao and Ling Ying watched the scene with entirely different expressions.

Yao Lao chuckled as he observed the young couple's mutual affection and flirtatious banter, his face filled with playful amusement.

Ling Ying, however, wore a bitter expression.

It seemed his young mistress had truly fallen deeply this time.

If the clan leader found out…

Remembering Gu Yuan's fury, Ling Ying couldn't help but shudder.

Sigh…

He could only hope the items they brought back would help convince the clan leader to approve this marriage.

Otherwise… his old life would be forfeit.

World of Spiritual Energy Revival

Shangjing City

Seven Stars · Yaoguang Military Base

In the innermost room of the base, a group of figures stood silently, their gazes fixed on an empty space as if bidding farewell to someone.

A flash of light later, Gu Ruoli and her armed team returned smoothly to the base where they had departed.

Seeing the crowd before them and their unchanged postures, the group immediately understood.

It seemed the chat group had paused the flow of time in their home world.

In the past, they would never have dared to imagine such a power—time manipulation. But now…

Their team included someone with a time-based Martial Spirit.

Such things no longer surprised them.

Gu Ruoli looked at the crowd and suddenly felt as though she had returned home. A stunning smile bloomed on her face. "We're back."

"You've worked hard. Welcome home, children."

At the front of the crowd, an elderly figure paused briefly at Gu Ruoli's words before responding warmly.

The same scene unfolded in other worlds.

The Honkai World, the Kamen Rider World, the Outcast World, the Super God World, the None of My Business World, the Lazy Angel World, the Dragon Maid World…

Time, once frozen by the chat group, resumed its flow the moment its members returned.

The Morning After Wu Tong's Return

Deep within Sunset Canyon, inside the treehouse.

As the sun rose, its first rays slipped through the gaps in the curtains, gently painting the floor with the promise of a new day.

Yet those same rays also illuminated the aftermath of last night's storm—the chaos left behind in Wu Tong's room.

The bed, the wardrobe, the windowsill… everywhere bore traces of the tempest that had raged.

The lingering signs spoke volumes about the intensity of the previous night's battle.

"Mmm…"

The sunlight hit Wu Tong's eyes, making him frown and mutter in displeasure. But there was nothing he could do. After a while, unable to sleep under the direct glare, he finally opened his eyes.

The familiar ceiling greeted him.

He stared blankly for a moment before fully waking.

First, he adjusted the curtains to block the intrusive sunlight.

Then he lay still for a while longer, gathering his thoughts before shifting his gaze to the bed.

The scene before him was one that could only be described as "requiring holy light censorship."

A sense of accomplishment washed over Wu Tong as he recalled last night's exploits, a smile tugging at his lips.

After two lifetimes and over fifty years of existence, he had finally shed his virginity.

About damn time!

From now on, if anyone dared call him a virgin, he'd fight them on the spot.

After a moment of reflection, Wu Tong carefully lifted the slender arm draped over him and slipped out of bed.

He covered the sleeping women with the blanket before quietly leaving the bedroom, leaving behind the chaotic aftermath and the three slumbering figures.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he left, two pairs of eyes fluttered open.

Minami Rika and Busujima Saeko locked gazes, their faces immediately flushing crimson.

Awkwardness hung thick in the air.

"Hah… haha… You're awake too?"

Rika, usually bold and unrestrained, scratched her head awkwardly.

"Rika… it hurts…"

Before Saeko could respond, Marikawa Shizuku, stirred by their movements, whimpered in discomfort.

Saeko: "…"

Rika: "…"

How were they supposed to respond to that?

While the three women struggled with their post-battle awkwardness, Wu Tong headed to the bathroom.

After washing off the sticky remnants of the night and changing into a dark blue robe, he stepped out.

This robe wasn't made of Vibranium—Wu Tong's current strength meant no one in Douluo Continent or the God Realm could harm him.

Thus, he no longer needed Vibranium for protection and could dress purely for comfort.

"Good morning, Young Master."

As soon as he reached the lower floor, a greeting reached his ears.

Turning, he saw his head maid, Nangong Yun.

"Good morning, Yun'er."

Huh? Why are her ears red?

Noticing the lingering flush on her ears, Wu Tong quickly pieced together that last night's activities hadn't gone unnoticed by the maid team.

He wasn't surprised. Since moving to the academy, his maids had lived in the same treehouse.

Given the… enthusiasm of last night, it was inevitable they'd hear something.

Seeing the usually composed Nangong Yun acting shy, Wu Tong couldn't resist teasing her.

"Yun'er… you know about last night, don't you?"

Nangong Yun stiffened. Though phrased as a question, Wu Tong's tone left no room for denial.

"Th-that… um…"

She stammered, unable to form a coherent response.

"Haha, alright, I'll stop teasing you. Look how flustered you are."

Wu Tong laughed, letting her off the hook.

Nangong Yun exhaled in relief—though a faint trace of disappointment lingered.

If she'd admitted it outright, could she have…?

Ah, never mind. Let things take their course.

Just as she turned to leave—
