They could clearly feel that they were crossing an incomparably distant space at a speed that surpassed comprehension.
This feeling gave them another layer of unfathomable understanding regarding Li Yifei's power.
During the dazzling and bizarre process of shuttling, Li Yifei's gaze seemed to pierce through endless space, looking toward an unknown direction.
He murmured to himself, his voice so low only he could hear it.
"The Chat Group is about to upgrade again..."
"I wonder what rewards there will be this time..."
Light and shadow twisted, and everything around them solidified from brilliant, flowing lines.
Bamboo shadows swayed, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the air.
A delicate courtyard stood quietly in the Sunset Forest, isolated from the outside hustle and bustle, forming a world of its own.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing experienced continuous spatial teleportation for the first time.
When they landed, they were still a bit dazed, and the reverence they held for Li Yifei's power deepened another layer.
"You're back!"
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, and Dugu Yan quickly walked out of the courtyard with a joyful smile on her face.
When she saw the three women beside Li Yifei, her smile paused slightly.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the innocent Xiao Wu, the cold and aloof Zhu Zhuqing, and the more mature and sharp Zhu Zhuyun, and her expression became strange.
She leaned close to Li Yifei, lowered her voice, and muttered in a tone that was both sour and teasing, "Good heavens, I thought you only brought back a Little Rabbit this time you went out. How come you also got a free kitten... and a big cat?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone present had sharp ears and keen eyes.
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she puffed out her chest somewhat indignantly, letting out a huff.
A trace of unnatural blush also appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face, and she subconsciously moved a step behind Li Yifei.
Only Zhu Zhuyun calmly observed the beautiful, green-haired woman in front of her, who was clearly very intimate with Li Yifei, secretly assessing the standing of the first woman by this man's side.
"These are Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun. They will be living here from now on," Li Yifei introduced briefly, not going into detail about the messy affairs of the Star Luo Empire.
"Oh..." Dugu Yan drew out her tone, her pair of emerald green eyes lingering meaningfully on the sisters. Then, a warm smile returned to her face, and she took the initiative to greet them.
"Welcome, welcome! There are plenty of rooms inside, I'll take you to choose."
She was a smart woman and didn't press for details.
The decisions Li Yifei made, she only needed to accept and support.
Just as Dugu Yan was about to lead the group inside to arrange their accommodations, a golden light exploded in Li Yifei's mind without any warning.
Ding!
["Douluo Peerless Chat Group has met the upgrade conditions. Upgrade now?"]
Li Yifei moved his consciousness and chose "Yes."
["Upgrade successful!"]
["Upgrade rewards being issued..."]
The sudden System notification made Li Yifei stop in his tracks.
On the Chat Group interface, everyone's avatars lit up; clearly, they all received the announcement.
["Worlds Number One Princess: It upgraded again?! My goodness, this speed is too fast!"]
["A Little Wild Goose: Wow! Another reward to get!"]
["Little Fox Demon: Quickly see what good stuff there is this time! Rubbing hands in anticipation.jpg"]
["Is Jade Not Jade: Little stool is ready, waiting for the drawing!"]
["Bunny is So Cute: Brother Yi Fei is going to get stronger again!"]
The group instantly erupted.
Immediately following this, a string of notifications targeting only Li Yifei began to scroll wildly.
["Congratulations to the group owner 'Li Yifei' for obtaining the group owner reward: spirit power Increase × 1!"]
["Below level 90, spirit power can increase by 10 levels; above level 90, spirit power can increase by 1 level."]
["Congratulations to the group owner 'Li Yifei' for obtaining the group owner reward: god-bestowed spirit ring (Upgraded Version) × 1!"]
["This spirit ring can automatically adapt to the host. Its age limit increases as the host's tolerance limit increases. It can replace existing spirit rings, and the Spirit Ability adaptation is the optimal Spirit Ability."]
["Congratulations to the group owner 'Li Yifei' for obtaining the group owner reward: Group Member Teleportation Voucher × 4!"]
Li Yifei looked at this round of rewards, his thoughts racing.
One spirit power Increase, one god-bestowed spirit ring.
His current spirit power was level forty-nine. Including the three accumulated spirit power Increase rewards before, plus this one, made a total of four.
He still needed one more.
Just one more spirit power Increase, and he could gather five, soaring directly from level forty-nine to the limit of Level Ninety-Nine Titled Douluo!
This was a shortcut to becoming a god among mortals.
Therefore, this god-bestowed spirit ring reward could not be used for the time being.
He couldn't risk absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring, accumulating a large amount of spirit power, and then when using the spirit power Increase to break through the promotion barrier, the accumulated spirit power causing him to jump one or two levels beyond level 59 on top of the base increase—that would be troublesome.
Moreover, if the god-bestowed spirit ring was saved until after reaching level ninety-nine, it could directly become his ninth, earth-shattering spirit ring.
This could also temporarily alleviate the shortage of god-bestowed spirit rings.
["Worlds Number One Princess: Congratulations, Brother Yi Fei! Another great harvest!"]
["Little Ice Cube: Congratulations, group owner."]
["Ghost Cat: Congratulations."]
Zhu Zhuqing sent two words in the group, then quietly raised her head to glance at the man beside her.
His expression hadn't changed, as if obtaining these treasures that could drive the entire continent mad was as ordinary as taking a sip of water.
This kind of calm indifference was more captivating than any deliberate showing off.
In the Chat Group, after a brief flurry of congratulations, the atmosphere once again became subtle.
["Worlds Number One Princess: Wuwuwu, Brother Yi Fei has gotten stronger again. I'm still stuck in place. When will I be able to catch up to your footsteps..."]
After sending the message, Ning Rongrong buried her face in a soft pillow, kicking her legs unconsciously, like a deflated ball.
"Teacher, his strength..."
Inside the Spirit Hall carriage, Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong, who was resting with her eyes closed, only speaking halfway, but the meaning was self-evident.
Bibi Dong didn't open her eyes, merely letting out a faint "Hmm."
But her jade fingers resting on the armrest, tapping at a suddenly accelerated rhythm, betrayed her inner unrest.
Another god-bestowed spirit ring, another spirit power Increase.
The growth rate of this man had completely surpassed the scope of common sense.
He cannot be an enemy.
He must be an ally, the closest ally.
"Heaven Dou City... we're almost there."
Bibi Dong's knuckles stopped tapping, and she made her decision in her heart.
["Is Jade Not Jade: Tsk tsk, the drought starves while the flood starves others. When will I ever get this treatment?"]
Liu Erlong sent a message out of boredom, but in her heart, she was planning how she would get some special treatment from that guy when he returned to Heaven Dou City.
Before Li Yifei could look closely, the administrator rewards arrived in quick succession.
