Sheng Xiao didn't expect Yu Huang to suddenly change the topic, so he was stunned and his ears turned red. "You… should be a little more reserved about such things."
Yu Huang said leisurely, "I'm an old woman who's lived for more than two hundred years. How can I be reserved?"
Feng Yuncheng knew that Yu Huang was mocking him, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing that Feng Yuncheng was snubbed by Yu Huang, Beatrice stood up calmly and looked around. Then, she suddenly said, "Since the Divine Tiger Mountain has been destroyed by Sheng Xiao, let's build the Monster Sect here as you said!"
"That's right!" Estelle nodded heavily and said, "We were bullied by Prime Master Jiang Yao here and almost died here, so we have to be reborn here! We have to build the Monster Sect here to remind us at all times that wild dogs can also transform into ferocious beasts! Monsters can also become legends!"
Donor clapped his hands when he heard Estelle's words. "Well said!"
Just like that, the location of the Monster Sect was confirmed.

The day after tomorrow was the official start of the Central Continent Selection Competition. Yu Huang and the others decided to set off tomorrow night. They would leave Five Lake Street and go to the hotel in the city to meet all the candidates who would participate in the Selection Competition. Then, they would go to the city where the competition was held.
They decided that before they left, they would settle the matter of establishing a sect first before focusing on the screening test.
The next day, at dawn, Sheng Xiao and the others went to the administrative building of Ice River City to ask about the establishment of the sect.
Yu Huang didn't go with them.
She went to Naris' room alone since she had something to tell Naris.
There was a heater in the room, so Naris was wearing relatively thin clothes.
She was wearing a long black negligee. Her black hair draped over her thin back, making her appear petite and fair. She wore a pair of narrow-framed glasses on her palm-sized face. Feng Yuncheng had given them to her.
Feng Yuncheng looked charming with glasses on, but when Naris wore them, she actually looked sickly.
She happened to be holding a blood-red test tube at this moment.
From Yu Huang's point of view, Naris seemed like a sickly psychopath who was doing blood research.
Seeing that Yu Huang had arrived, Naris put down the test tube in her hand, took off her glasses, and turned around to ask Yu Huang, "You guys are leaving today, right?" Tomorrow was the day the screening test began, so it was time for Yu Huang and the others to set off.
On the day of separation, Naris felt reluctant to part with them.
Yu Huang nodded. "Yes, the screening test will begin the day after tomorrow, so we have to set off tonight."
When Naris saw that Yu Huang was looking at her with a hesitant gaze, she told Yu Huang, "Yu Huang, you don't have to be careful with me. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Only when she heard this did Yu Huang realize that she had been too careful with Naris.
Yu Huang no longer hesitated and asked Naris, "Do you want to be a Purifying Spirit Master?"
"Huh?"
Naris was stunned.
Yu Huang repeated her previous words patiently. "Naris, go cultivate the Purifying Spirit Art."
Yu Huang was actually encouraging her to become a Purifying Spirit Master.
Naris looked at Yu Huang with a complicated gaze as she asked Yu Huang calmly, "Do I look like someone who can become a Purifying Spirit Master?" Naris had heard that the first batch of Purifying Spirit Master students chosen by Lin Jiansheng came from all over the world. The age difference was huge, and they didn't seem to have anything in common.
But Naris had specifically investigated them and realized that they had two common characteristics—
One was intelligence, and the other was kindness.
Naris didn't possess either one.
If she didn't know Yu Huang's personality, Naris would have suspected that Yu Huang was mocking her.
Hearing Naris's words, Yu Huang was enraged. "Naris, why do you have to belittle yourself? No one knows your true nature better than me. Naris, you've been dragged into the deepest and darkest hell, but you still have a kind heart. You're braver and kinder than any one of them. Why won't you give it a try?"
With that said, Yu Huang held Naris's hands and pinched her palms gently to encourage her. "Go give it a try. It's not illegal. Who knows, you might really pass the test."
After being instigated by Yu Huang, Naris was actually a little tempted. She asked hesitantly, "Then… should I give it a try?"
Seeing that Naris' attitude had softened, Yu Huang hurriedly turned around and opened Naris' wardrobe. Then, she took out a red velvet dress and stuffed it into Naris' arms as she urged, "Hurry up and change into your lucky battle robe. Go give it a try while there's still time."
After Naris changed her clothes, she went to participate in the Purifying Spirit Master assessment.
When he saw Naris get on the motorcycle that was heading to the Purifying Spirit Master assessment venue, a gratified smile appeared on Di Wu's face. Then, he turned around and said to Yu Huang, "Thank you. Your arrival has brought about a drastic change to her. Only this can help Naris live up to her full potential."
Di Wu was sincerely grateful for the changes Yu Huang had brought to Naris.
Yu Huang smiled and said, "What's the use of thanking me verbally? Uncle Di, if you're really grateful to me, you can waive our rent for this month."
Di Wuyong dug his little fingers into his ears and asked her loudly, "The wind is too strong. What did you say? I can't hear you?"
Yu Huang pursed her lips and turned to return to the small courtyard.
After she entered the kitchen, she studied how to bake cake.
After Lin Jiansheng sent He Zhiqiu to the Divine Miracle Continent, he had yet to return. Ah Kong felt uneasy since he couldn't see his father. Today was the weekend, so Ah Kong didn't have to go to school. He knew that Yu Huang and the others were leaving tonight. Seeing that Yu Huang was baking a cake, he stayed by Yu Huang's side and watched her with relish.
Finally, the cake was ready.
Yu Huang inserted candles into the cake. There were a total of four candles and the words "Be Happy Every Day, Kong Qing" were written on them.
Ah Kong asked her, "Yu Huang, why did you put the candle in?"
Cang Lang Continent's people also ate cake on their birthdays, but they didn't have the habit of putting in candles.
Yu Huang said, "In my hometown, children put in candles and make wishes on their birthdays. You're already four years old, so we have to put four candles." Yu Huang put on Ah Kong's birthday hat and said, "I heard that you've never eaten a birthday cake on your own birthday, so I made one for you today."
Ah Kong was about to cry.
"… Then can I make a wish too?"
"Of course."
Ah Kong said innocently, "My first wish is for Daddy to be safe and come back early. My second wish is for Daddy's school to become prosperous. My third wish is for Purifying Spirit Masters to become stronger. My fourth wish is for you guys to stay healthy!"
He made four wishes, but none of them were about him.
