The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Seeing that Lin Suzhou still refused to speak, Luo Li gritted her teeth.

Turning to Wen Qingxuan, he said, "Why don't you try confessing your feelings to him? Maybe he likes you too?"

Seeing Luo Li pass the buck to Lin Suzhou, Wen Qingxuan took another swig of spirit wine and boldly looked at Lin Suzhou: "Suzhou... Lin Suzhou!?"

"Huh? What's wrong!?"

Lin Suzhou seemed to hear Wen Qingxuan calling him, which brought him back to his senses.

Seeing the two women looking at him at the same time, Lin Suzhou was completely bewildered, especially by the resentment in Luo Li's eyes, as if he had done something wrong...

But he really was drunk just now because the spirit wine was too strong, he wasn't faking it!

"Are you awake now?"

"Yeah, I was a little drunk just now, sorry."

Lin Suzhou patted his face, forcing himself to wake up, and stared at Wen Qingxuan with a smile: "Qingxuan, just tell me what you want to say directly. Speaking in such a roundabout way is not like you."

Seeing Lin Suzhou's drunken state, Luo Li understood that he had really passed out and wasn't pretending, so she was relieved.

"Alright, I'll say it then..."

Wen Qingxuan took a deep breath, her long, narrow phoenix eyes taking on a different look as she gazed at his face and slowly said, "I was just chatting with Luo Li, and she suggested that I directly confess my feelings to the person I like, but the person I like already has a partner..."

If—and I mean if—the person I like is you, would you choose me or Luo Li?

These words instantly brought Lin Suzhou to his senses.

What?! He actually got reverse-targeted by the young lady of a powerful family!

"I would choose..."

As soon as Lin Suzhou finished speaking, he saw Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan looking at him anxiously. Their concern made him feel unreal.

Is he dreaming right now?

"Qingxuan, if—and I mean if."

Lin Suzhou abruptly changed the subject, asking, "If I choose Luo Li, what will you do?"

Hearing this, Luo Li felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

He truly is the man she chose!

"call."

Wen Qingxuan took a deep breath and pretended to be indifferent, saying, "Then consider this a punishment I was forced to do after losing a dare."

But as soon as she finished speaking, her phoenix eyes began to mist over, and her little mouth pouted so much that it looked like a soy sauce bottle could hang from it.

Tears involuntarily streamed down her face, but she stubbornly lowered her head, not wanting Lin Suzhou and the other man to see her in such a disheveled state.

After a few seconds, she stood up and said in a dejected voice, "Okay, I understand. Let's go to Mount Ling now to receive the Spiritual Path Initiation."

At this moment, Wen Qingxuan completely gave up; she didn't want to be the third party who ruined the relationship.

She learned this adjective from Lin Suzhou's story...

"Qingxuan, don't go! I already said it was just a hypothetical."

Seeing that Wen Qingxuan was really leaving, Lin Suzhou hurriedly stood up and pulled Luo Li over.

"Could it be that you've changed your mind and now like me instead of Luo Li?"

Final Fantasy appeared in Wen Qingxuan's mind.

"No, what I'm saying now is... only children make choices, and I want them all!"

Lin Suzhou slowly clenched his right hand into a claw, looking just like the constable in Stephen Chow's movies.

Then, ignoring Wen Qingxuan's reply, he pulled her into his arms and boldly kissed her.

Not satisfied with kissing Wen Qingxuan, he then went on to kiss Luo Li.

Lin Suzhou only stopped taking their tongues when both women nestled against him like docile lambs.

"But my father only had one wife, my mother."

Wen Qingxuan said weakly.

"Me too."

Luo Li also spoke up.

"As the saying goes, a new generation replaces the old, and I feel it's time to make a change for me."

After Lin Suzhou finished speaking, he put his arm around the two women and got into the carriage, heading towards the majestic Golden Mountain ahead.

……

At this moment, on a massive golden mountain, there is a wide platform inscribed with a huge magic array.

In the center of the platform is a small hill with three tiers of steps, with futons placed on each tier.

The number of prayer cushions decreases from bottom to top, with only one cushion on the top floor.

This small hill is where the students receive the spiritual initiation.

There are now more than thirty figures on the mountaintop, all idly passing the time.

Some were exchanging techniques, some were chatting, and others were lost in thought, imagining what they would do when they returned to the outside world...

"Why is someone still missing? Don't they want the Spiritual Path Initiation?"

"Yes, I'm getting impatient waiting."

"Don't let me find out who's late, or I'll chop them to pieces!"

"But brother, that person looks like Lin Suzhou!"

"That's alright then, let's keep waiting."

"..."

When the trainees confirmed that the latecomer was Lin Suzhou, they fell silent and continued to wait.

"It looks like he's here!"

A young man in white suddenly spoke excitedly, and the other students all stood up and looked in that direction.

"Whoosh—"

A whooshing sound came from afar, and then everyone saw a handsome white horse pulling a carriage from the horizon, with three figures sitting in the carriage.

On either side were beauties with different styles. One of them wore a black lotus dress and had a temperament like a black lotus in a deep valley, neither competing nor vying for attention.

The other one wore a golden battle dress, had a hot figure, and a charming face.

The man holding the two women by the waist was a handsome young man with black hair, dressed in a dark blue robe.

His face was beaming with a smile, radiating confidence.

"It seems that the ultimate winner is the ultimate winner in every aspect."

"What a triumphant scene! Riding in a sedan chair, he brings his beloved down to the sacred mountain!"

"The couplet doesn't rhyme very well. I'll practice it some more when I get back."

"If you can do it, then you do it."

……

When the boy on the platform saw Lin Suzhou descend onto the platform in a carriage, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing a great uproar.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At this moment, the five deans reappeared in mid-air, and the more than thirty boys and girls below instantly fell silent.

The leader, Tian Sheng, spoke calmly: "Now that all the students have arrived, let's begin counting their blood-red tokens and conducting the King-level assessment."

Lin Suzhou listened to Tian Sheng's words and glanced at Wen Qingxuan. He was surprised to find that, just as she had said, the final ceremony began as soon as they arrived at Lingshan.

After all the students showed their blood-red tokens to the five deans, the five of them simultaneously counted them and listed the rankings of the King-level assessment.

"Tang Wenlong, with three blood-red tokens, is granted the title of Quasi-King."

"Feng Hehai, with five blood-red tokens, is granted the title of Quasi-King."

Upon hearing the two names that Tian Sheng mentioned first, Lin Suzhou was surprised. Weren't these two of the three talents from his protected land?

There seems to be another person surnamed Li... but Lin Suzhou looked around and didn't find him, so he must be dead.

However, the fact that these two were able to obtain a Quasi-King level rating, which is even lower than the King level rating, suggests that they not only had luck but also possessed some strength.

After that, every time Tian Sheng called out a name, the corresponding person would sit on a futon on the hill.

Those who obtain the Quasi-King level rating belong to the first level, those who obtain the King level rating belong to the second level, and the only Spirit Crown holder belongs to the highest third level!

"Wen Qingxuan, twenty-three blood-red tokens, conferring her the title of King."

"Luo Li, twenty-six blood-red tokens, conferring you the title of King!"

It wasn't until Luo Li and the other person received the King-level assessment and sat on the second-level futon on the small hill that Tian Sheng finally called out Lin Suzhou's name.

"Lin Suzhou, one hundred and thirty-three blood-red tokens, the one who has sealed the Spirit Crown!"

Tian Sheng practically spat out those words through gritted teeth. His illegitimate son, Ji Xuan, became his stepping stone; otherwise, how could Lin Suzhou have achieved such success!

After Lin Suzhou sat on the highest futon, the five deans began to activate the magic array below, forming a huge ball of spiritual energy on the small hill.

Then countless drops of pure spiritual energy fell like raindrops. Lin Suzhou felt the spiritual energy slowly flowing into his Qi Sea and began to close his eyes and absorb it calmly.

……

After the Spiritual Path Initiation ended, Lin Suzhou chose the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, bid farewell to Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, and stepped into the vast Judgment Realm.

In this vast world, I, Lin Suzhou, have arrived!

And when everyone else had left, leaving only Wen Qingxuan.

She said something to Dean Tang Qiu of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, and finally came to Dean Taicang's side under his surprised gaze.

"Dean Taicang, I want to enter the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy!"
