There was no need to ask anymore. Ghostly took a sip and revealed a bitter face: "It's bitter."

"Mine is sweet!"

"Why!"

They were poured from the same pot, so why do they taste and color differently? It's so strange!

"Could there be some kind of mechanism inside the pot?!"

Bibi Dong examined the teapot and found it to be a normal teapot, except that the material seemed to be very good. Although the tea inside was steaming hot, the surface of the teapot was not hot to the touch at all.

What's the principle behind this?

Even the ghost, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but ask.

"Based on your hearts."

Su Ze said, "If your heart is filled with bitterness, the tea you drink will be bitter; if your heart is filled with sweetness, the tea will be sweet."

Knowing that Gui Mei had suffered hardships in his childhood, Su Ze put a sugar in his tea, which, after steeping, released a sweet aroma: "If you drink it again, it won't be so bitter."

"Is it possible to do it this way?"

"I don't believe it, I'll try it again."

"Ah! It's so spicy!"

Bibi Dong recalled the moment she was angry. A mouthful of tea went down her throat and her pretty face turned red with spiciness. Her mouth was on fire, and she spun around on the spot, losing her grip on the teacup and spilling it all over the ground.

Suddenly, with a "boom", a surge of soul power emanated from Bibi Dong's body, stirring up gusts of wind.

"Suddenly...you broke through?"

"No, that's not right. Her Highness hasn't absorbed the soul ring yet, so it's impossible for her to break through again. This is because the soul power she was squeezing out was excessive and was released outwards."

Recalling that Bibi Dong had only just broken through to level 30, it was impossible for her to have accumulated so much soul power in just a few days. Ghostly looked at the tea in his hand, surprised:

Could it be this tea?

Good stuff, down it in one gulp!

The ghost drank it all in one gulp, and sure enough, a moment later, boom boom boom!

Three consecutive screechs, breaking through three levels.

After exhaling a breath to stabilize his soul power, the ghost looked at Su Ze as if he were looking at God:

That's incredible! He casually served a cup of tea, and it allowed him, a Soul Emperor, to break through three levels in a row, and his realm remained very stable. This was something that would take him at least another year or two to achieve. This young man only needed a cup of tea.

If you can become friends with him, it will be hard not to become stronger.

This is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend.

"Wait! My martial soul... seems to be mutating! No! To be precise, it's undergoing a metamorphosis!"

I thought breaking through to level three was already a huge gift, but I never expected it would also have the effect of strengthening my martial soul!

That's unbelievable!

At this moment, the ghost's entire demeanor was undergoing a transformation.

The shadowy, ghostly martial soul began to take human form, its aura and power increasing dramatically. Soon, this ghostly martial soul, hailed as a martial soul anomaly, actually transformed into the Underworld King martial soul!

Hades Martial Soul! That's a legendary Martial Soul, comparable to a god-level Martial Soul! It's a degenerated Martial Soul of a descendant of Hades, the god of the underworld!

The leap from ghost to Hades is nothing short of a miracle.

For Gui Mei, this was not only an improvement in his martial soul aptitude, but also an honor!

This gave him the power to resist, even though he was originally terrified of divine power, light, and other such forces.

Ghosts have nowhere to hide in the light.

Hades stands proudly in the light!

Ghostly breathing became rapid, unable to calm his mind for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and knelt down directly before Su Ze:

"Your Highness's kindness and virtue are unforgettable. From now on, I am willing to serve Your Highness as my master. I will brave any danger, even death, to be at Your Highness's command!"

"Ghost Deacon, what are you doing? This is so sudden. I'm just a small farmer, and I only offered you a cup of tea. It's nothing, and I don't deserve such a grand gesture from a deacon of the Spirit Hall. Get up."

Su Ze was also surprised that the ghost would suddenly kneel down before him, and quickly helped him up.

Ghostly remained serious, insisting, "A promise made is a promise kept!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the ghost, Su Ze had no choice but to say:

"Alright, alright, Ghost Butler, if you're willing to listen to me, then I'll ask you to protect your Holy Maiden. That would be enough for me."

Su Ze didn't have any wishes. Did he want ghosts to help him farm?

He is a Soul Emperor, and in the future he will be able to reach the level of Super Douluo. He is a top expert on the Douluo Continent, so he probably has no experience in farming.

That would only waste the food.

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, not to mention herself, even His Holiness the Pope would protect her.

This assignment was really far-fetched, almost like nothing at all, but he didn't want to put Su Ze in a difficult position. This kind of powerful person probably wanted to do something that he himself was not capable of helping at the moment.

The ghost then bowed respectfully and said:

"Understood, Your Highness. If you have any other instructions, please inform me at any time. I will obey even the most important matters!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong had just recovered from the spiciness and was somewhat surprised to see the ghostly butler suddenly change from being cautious at first to being respectful now.

It's important to know that the demon butler is actually quite stubborn. Once he sets his mind on something, he will stick to it. He's willing to risk his life for the people he trusts, but he won't utter a single word of praise for those he dislikes.

For example, he was very resistant to his senior, Yu Xiaogang, and scoffed at his theories.

Just then, Su Ze frowned again, noticing a scream:

"what!"

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"That sounds like... Mr. Yu Xiaogang's screams..."

Chapter 3: The Death of Yu Xiaogang, the Appearance of the Thunder Dragon

"Yu Xiaogang? Didn't he go to the toilet?"

"Lazy people always have too much to do. Why haven't they come back yet? Did something really happen to them? Did they fall into the latrine?"

The ghost frowned, worried that something bad might happen, and sighed inwardly:

Yu Xiaogang, you may never break through level 30 in your entire life and be a waste for life. Today, Prince Su Ze's cup of tea is the only chance to help you break this conclusion. It's not too late for you to come back now.

"what?"

"The cries seem to be coming from a distance?"

Su Ze pointed to one side of the manor's interior and muttered, "That's not where the toilets are."

“I think I used to keep some strange animals over there. They were all a bit aggressive, and I was even bitten by them once. What are you doing there, Mr. Yu Xiaogang? It would be bad if you got hurt.”

That's the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three major sects on the Douluo Continent. Although he's not well-liked, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although he's gained some soul power by completing system tasks over the years and has some strength, it's best not to provoke trouble.

After Su Ze finished speaking, Gui Mei actually believed him. She guessed that His Highness Su Ze was humble and pragmatic, and possessed unparalleled supernatural powers, so he certainly couldn't have misheard.

That means Yu Xiaogang must have used the excuse of going to the toilet to steal something, and something bad happened.

This thief, back in the Spirit Hall Academy, loved to steal precious books from the library, claiming that knowledge shouldn't gather dust on bookshelves, but should be absorbed and widely disseminated by wise people like him.

"Let's hurry and find Mr. Yu. Let's pray that nothing serious has happened to him."

That faint scream made Su Ze feel that an accident had already happened.

It seemed that neither Mr. Ghost nor Princess Bibi Dong had heard it; only he had.

Am I hallucinating?

No matter what, we need to find him first.

Immediately, Su Ze and the other two tidied up a bit and, after confirming that Yu Xiaogang had not actually fallen into the cesspool, they followed the sound of the scream.

However, during the journey, Su Zezhong felt that the two ghosts were walking too slowly, practically at a snail's pace.

But they are honored guests, so why should the host urge them on?

I come from a land of etiquette in the East, so I should at least have this much basic moral character.

Although he was just a small farmer, that did not prevent him from having noble character!

Su Ze could only accompany the two ghosts slowly.

Little did they know, the ghost had already reached its limit, moving almost at lightning speed, propelled forward by its soul power.

Bibi Dong was even more exhausted. She was only a level 30 Great Soul Master, and soon she was covered in sweat, unable to walk any further. She glanced at Su Ze, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and stretched out her hands towards him:

"Dear Brother Su Ze, please carry me! You're walking too fast, I can't keep up, okay?"

Is this brilliance shrewdness, or something ineffable?

Left with no other choice, Su Ze could only gently place his palm on her straight and soft thigh. The heat from his palm reached Bibi Dong's heart, causing her pretty face to blush. She pressed her body against his back to avoid letting others see her shyness.

It's said that girls in Douluo Continent mature early, and after this encounter, it's clear they truly understand.

"But this body is really weak, like a block of tofu. I'm afraid I could easily make a hole in it with just two fingers."

However, it's more accurate to say it's inexperienced than weak.

Perhaps, it's just that Su Ze is too strong; even with a ghost on his back, he would still feel vulnerable...

Su Ze shook his head, dispelling the evil thoughts in his mind:

Su Ze, what are you thinking about!

She is not yet twelve years old. In modern society, she would be between three and ten years old!

But this is the Douluo Continent...

Because the ghost was moving so slowly, the journey that Su Ze could have covered in a few minutes took him a full thirty minutes.

Su Ze carried Bibi Dong to a purple pond and put her down: "There seem to be signs of a fight here, and the sounds seem to be coming from around here."
