Chapter 96 Meeting the Parents

Inside the hotel room.

Meng Bai and Su Xintang, one standing by the table, the other floating in mid-air.

The two stared at each other for a long time, speechless.

Has he become a god?

If successful.

His cultivation level has definitely reached that point, after all, he has even condensed incense and a Dao wheel.

The problem is, he didn't get any of the other benefits of becoming a god.

The incense and the Dao wheel failed to give her a chance to comprehend her innate divine power; it also failed to open the Treasure Proclamation Realm and find nine capable underlings.

More importantly, they did not bathe her body to add 720 years to her lifespan.

If one's lifespan is not extended, then becoming a god is pointless. Isn't the goal of cultivation to achieve immortality?
In short, Meng Bai believes that Su Xintang's current state definitely does not meet all the standards for "becoming a god," and she probably still has some necessary procedures to complete.

She had mentioned during their previous conversation that being a spirit god is not only a level of spiritual attainment but also a rank or status.

She currently possesses the realm of enlightenment but lacks official rank.

In ancient China, there was a very clear term for this situation: "illicit worship," which meant that the worship was not part of the officially recognized pantheon.

In modern terms, that means being unregistered and becoming a god without a license.

'So, is that why I couldn't obtain that Spirit-Controlling True Immortal Dao Fruit?' Meng Bai pondered for a moment.

Undeterred, he tried the same method as before, making a copy of the "Payment Spotlight" and returning it to Su Xintang, but there was still no response.

So he collected all the unlocked light points on Su Xintang's body and returned them, going back and forth several times, like restarting a computer, but still couldn't change the situation.

“I doubt that the gods of Earth have the power to bestow titles upon gods. How about… we go back to Hegu and try? Let’s see if the gods of Hegu can issue us a certificate?” Meng Bai suggested.

He returned without hesitation, activating the [Time Travel] ability.

Ten seconds later, the two appeared in the sea of ​​clouds in the River Drum Heaven.

To be honest, Su Xintang was standing in the sea of ​​clouds at this moment, with a seven-colored wheel on the back of her head. She looked like a Bodhisattva manifesting, and her temperament was indeed completely different.

"And then what?" Su Xintang blinked her innocent big eyes at Meng Bai.

"You, a local, are asking me, a stranger?" Meng Bai chuckled. He continued, "Didn't your master tell you what it takes to become a god?"

“No, as I said last time, these are all closely guarded secrets. My master was able to become a god, probably because when he was serving as a sacrificial attendant to the temple master, the temple master passed on his teachings to him.” Su Xintang shook her head.

"Let's wait a bit longer, maybe there will be a reaction soon." Meng Bai said, looking up at the sky.

Seeing this, Su Xintang didn't say anything more and also looked up at the sky.

The two of them stood there, gazing blankly into the sea of ​​clouds, for over ten minutes...

"It seems that the heavens don't recognize us. We're in an awkward situation. Earth doesn't have an official status, and the River Drum doesn't acknowledge us. We've run into problems by exploiting a bug." Meng Bai said, looking in the direction of Purple Lotus Divine Island.

He added, "Is your master still in the Purple Lotus Temple? Let's go find him and ask him how we can gain the approval of Heaven."

“Firstly, at this juncture, no one might be able to find him; secondly, if we rashly go up and ask him about this, he definitely won’t tell us. Although we have butterflies, releasing butterflies to a god is too risky.” Su Xintang shook her head.

Immediately afterwards, she hid her incense and prayer wheel.

They even started using [layered armor] and other methods to suppress their cultivation level, all the way down to the original Jade Bone Great Completion stage.

After doing all this, she added, "In Hegu, no one has ever been like me, whose cultivation has reached the Spirit God Realm but who has no official rank. If this is exposed, it may not be a good thing."

“That’s true.” Meng Bai also regained his composure.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "So, in that case, we still need to try to conquer the Precious Edict Realm, obtain your master's position as a sacrificial attendant, and then we can naturally ask him about the process of becoming a god?"

Meng Bai felt that Su Xintang was just missing a step in the process.

Once she understands the process and does what needs to be done, her ascension to godhood should be a natural progression, much faster than others, since her cultivation level has already reached that point.

“But I’m worried that, given my current state, my master’s assistant deity won’t be able to write my name on the edict.” Both of them are spirits, and according to the rules, it is impossible for them to serve as assistant deities to each other.

"Let's give it a try. Whether it works or not, it's never a bad idea to go into the Treasure Pavilion. Maybe we can find the key to becoming a god inside?"

“That’s true.” Su Xintang nodded, then asked, “So what’s next? The Precious Edict Realm won’t open until the day after tomorrow night when the moon passes through. We still have about two days. Should we go find A-Chen, or go back to Earth?”

“Go back to Earth,” Meng Bai said without hesitation. He explained, “Firstly, we still have videos to release, and there’s a lot of incense available on Earth. You can use the incense to continue stabilizing and improving your cultivation.”

Secondly, my condition is too special; I might not be able to enter a place like the Precious Dream Realm. But don't worry, if I really can't get in, just give me the butterfly, and we'll communicate in our dreams every night.

However, just in case, let's prepare for the worst. When we get back to Earth, I'll find you some online novels to read. The Dream Realm is like the mortal world; going in is like time travel.

Let's look at how the protagonists in those novels gain fame after transmigrating. Whether it's effective or not is another matter, but you can use it as a reference; it might just have a surprising effect!

“Okay.” Su Xintang thought it made sense.

Ten seconds later...

The two returned to the hotel.

They went to the restroom separately, changed their ancient costumes into ordinary short-sleeved shirts and jeans, and then took their suitcases out of the storage space.

They're going home soon, and it would be really strange if they didn't bring any suitcases.

I checked the time; it was 1 p.m.

Check-out time at this hotel is 12 noon.

However, Meng Bai extended the stay by one day in advance so as not to be disturbed.

I went downstairs to the front desk to check out.

With an even more refined air than yesterday, Su Xintang became the focus of the entire hotel lobby; everyone in the lobby was staring at her.

This situation prompted "Su Ling Shen" to put on sunglasses without thinking.

As for Meng Bai, while checking out, he casually asked the front desk, "Did you hear anything just now? I felt like there was a commotion outside."

"No." The receptionist really didn't hear anything; only Meng Bai and Su Xintang could sense those strange phenomena and sounds.

"Oh, that's probably the TV sound from next door," Meng Bai mumbled.

"No, sir, our soundproofing is excellent, especially since you're staying in a penthouse suite," the receptionist quickly denied with a smile.

Meng Bai stopped probing and instead smiled brightly, ending the conversation.

His laughter made the receptionist quickly pretend to look at the computer, not daring to look at him anymore.

About five minutes later, the two left the hotel with their suitcases.

Watching the two figures leave, the receptionists finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"That girl is so beautiful! She's tall, fair-skinned, and gorgeous!"

"That boy is good-looking too, he's from our area."

"From our side? Where are you from?"

"They're not from the county town, they're from Siwang. The girl is from Taiwan." The two registered their identity information at the hotel, so it's normal for the front desk to know.

"Wow, I didn't know there really are people who look like this. I always thought the videos were all filtered with beauty filters."

"Hey, I think I've seen them on social media before. They seem to be internet celebrities."

"real or fake?"

"Really, let me look, I'm sure I've seen them before."

The people inside the hotel were chattering away.

Meanwhile, Meng Bai and Su Xintang were already sitting in the back of a ride-hailing car.

As the car started moving, Su Xintang became nervous. That fleeting kiss earlier that day had only strengthened her belief in the relationship between the two of them.

Therefore, visiting Meng Bai's family now seems no different from visiting his parents-in-law.

So, after much hesitation, Su Xintang couldn't help but ask the question again: "Will your parents... like me?"

Just as Meng Bai was about to reply, the driver, who had been holding back for a while and wanted to talk to the two of them, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He laughed and said, "If I were this young man's parent, I would be so happy to see my son bring such a beautiful girlfriend home that I would faint from laughter."

　I was revising the text too late yesterday, so I'll post the subsequent chapters a little later.
