The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

"Whoosh!"

She then moved her delicate body and brought Lin Suzhou to the sky above the palace.

In front of the black palace stood a vast and expansive training ground.

Thousands of figures sat cross-legged on the ground in a staggered arrangement. At the front of them sat two girls, seemingly guiding them in cultivation.

The girl on the left was dressed in a black outfit, while the girl on the right wore a light red dress; both were beautiful and had identical features.

They are obviously twins.

But the girl in the black outfit had a cold expression on her pretty face, while the girl in the light red dress looked more delicate and charming.

But it is precisely because of this difference that the two sisters stand out even more.

"Who's there!"

Suddenly, the girl in black opened her eyes, looked at the sky in front of her, and shouted in a sweet voice.

"Hehe, Little Bing'er, you've made great progress while I was away."

A sweet laugh came from the sky, and then two figures landed in front of them. It was Lin Suzhou and Jiuyou.

The girl in black looked at Jiu You, who had suddenly appeared, with an unreal expression on her face. Then, the coldness in her beautiful eyes melted, and her eyes quickly reddened.

She seemed somewhat reserved, but the girl in red beside her had already pounced on Jiuyou, her beautiful eyes misty with tears.

"Sister Jiuyou, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Hearing the girl's words and seeing the sisters' reddened eyes, Jiuyou felt a lump in her throat.

She reached out and smoothed the wind-blown black hair of the girl in her arms, saying gently, "I missed you all too..."

Lin Suzhou was deeply moved by this scene.

Although Jiuyou left the Great Luo Heaven Domain, the two sisters continued to manage the Jiuyou Palace diligently without any complaints, even after Cao Feng left.

This alone shows that the two sisters are kind-hearted.

"Welcome back to the palace, Your Excellency!"

Before the palace, the thousands of awakened figures stared blankly at Jiuyou. After regaining their senses, they all knelt down on one knee, their voices shaking the heavens.

Seeing this scene, Jiuyou was also somewhat surprised. In her past, there were not many people and she was not good at managing them, so people were very lazy. How could they have such an amazing momentum today?

"You sisters are quite good; you've managed the Nine Nether Palace very well after I left."

Jiuyou embraced the girl in his arms and smiled with joy.

"It's all thanks to my older sister."

The girl in the light red dress rubbed her eyes, not trying to take credit.

Jiuyou then looked at the girl in black, who walked over with her teeth clenched. Although she was also very excited, she managed to control herself.

"Welcome back to the palace, Your Excellency!"

"I already told you to call me 'older sister'."

Jiuyou took her small hand and said with pity in her eyes, "You've suffered so much these past years."

"grown ups……"

The girl in black immediately shook her head, but seeing Jiu You's beautiful eyes widen slightly, she quickly said, "Sister, how can I blame you? You entrusted the Jiu You Palace to us sisters so that you could break through and seek opportunities. We must do our utmost."

"The Nine Nether Palace is just a formality; you're the one who's working so hard."

"I can't help it," Jiuyou said helplessly.

Her cultivation level was the weakest among the nine kings back then; she was only granted the title of king because of Emperor Tianjiu's influence.

But once she leaves, these two sisters will likely suffer a lot of bullying.

Unlike her younger sister Tang Rou, the older sister Tang Bing is exceptionally strong and always shoulders everything on her own.

Thinking about how much she and her sister had suffered because of this over the years, Jiuyou felt very sorry for them.

"By the way... where is Cao Feng?"

Suddenly, Jiuyou remembered something and frowned slightly, saying, "When I left, I told him to assist you."

"Sister, that ingrate Cao Feng... He saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, so he recently switched sides to join the Blood Eagle King's forces."

Upon hearing the name, Tang Bing hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou's pretty face froze instantly, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Tang Rou was even more indignant: "It was all thanks to my sister that he took pity on him and pulled him out of the pile of corpses. If it weren't for my sister, he wouldn't have had a chance to live!"

Jiuyou simply sighed, then gently patted Tang Rou's head and said, "I knew that person was ambitious, but I didn't expect him to not even be able to stick it out for a few years."

Her voice carried a hint of disappointment, but only a hint, and she quickly returned to normal.

She was content as long as the two sisters she cared about most were safe and sound.

"The sooner you get away from that kind of person, the better, otherwise they will become a menace and cause even greater harm in the future."

Lin Suzhou, who was standing to the side, finally spoke up, immediately attracting the attention of Tang Bing and her sister.

"Who are you……?"

Upon hearing Lin Suzhou speak, Tang Rou noticed the frail-looking boy beside Jiu You.

With such meager strength, he couldn't even be a lowly gatekeeper. She had previously mistakenly thought he was a passerby like Cao Feng, who had been rescued by Jiuyou.

Now it seems that's not the case.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. This is Lin Suzhou. I was able to successfully overcome my tribulation thanks to him."

At this moment, Jiuyou introduced Lin Suzhou to her sisters.

Upon hearing that Lin Suzhou had done a favor for Jiuyou, the two sisters felt much more favorably toward him.

Lin Suzhou then spoke up, saying, "Having gained Sister Jiuyou's favor, I have come to join the Jiuyou Palace."

"You want to join us?"

Tang Rou exclaimed in surprise.

"Is that not allowed?"

Lin Suzhou felt uncomfortable under her gaze. Did she look down on his low cultivation level?

But now, isn't he just like Jiuyou back then, someone who got in through connections?

Seeing Lin Suzhou's puzzled expression, Tang Bing blushed slightly.

Seeing the two sisters lower their heads in embarrassment at the same time, Jiuyou asked in a deep voice, "Little Bing'er, what's wrong?"

"We...are out of money."

Under Jiuyou's questioning, Tang Bing somewhat awkwardly revealed the current state of Jiuyou Palace.

It turns out that after Jiuyou left, some people in the Great Luo Heaven Domain said that Jiuyou Palace was already dead in name only.

Some people then joined forces with the council of elders to propose the dissolution of the Nine Nether Palace.

However, due to the strong guarantee from the Heavenly Eagle Emperor, the matter was dropped.

However, due to the actions of certain individuals, the annual stipend of the Nine Nether Palace has been decreasing.

Moreover, the territories under the jurisdiction of the Nine Nether Palace have been secretly annexed by other kings, and now only a few thousand people remain in the palace.

The strongest are still the sisters Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou trembled with cold, her full breasts heaving.

Lin Suzhou smiled calmly: "Since they can take from us, we can take from them too."

I will cultivate here for a year, and then go to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy to cultivate for two years.

Three years from now, I will lead you to reclaim everything you lost! We will make them pay for all the bullying they caused us!

In the end, he exuded a strong sense of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Tang Bing and her sister looked at the boy in front of them in surprise, whose strength was even lower than theirs.

But considering that he was able to help Sister Jiuyou overcome her tribulation, and given his calm and collected demeanor, he probably really could do it.

"Then I'll have to wait and see..."

Jiuyou looked deeply at the young man before her, and to be honest, she was quite moved.

At least Lin Suzhou, after learning about the current situation of the Nine Nether Palace, did not choose to leave like Cao Feng, but chose to stay.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host's intimacy level with the goddess Jiuyou has exceeded 55! Reward: Advanced Spirit Array Master status."

The spirit array master's illusions and cunning.

The Spirit Array Master's True Mind's Eye.

The low-level spirit array diagram is called "Purple Flame Nether Spear Array".

Minor Divine Spell: Purple Flame Ring.

Forty thousand drops of Supreme Elixir.

A drop of the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Ranking essence blood.

Divine Artifact Upgrade Card.

A substitute puppet (a puppet that replicates all of the host's abilities, with improved cultivation, but always one realm lower than the host).

Lin Suzhou felt Jiuyou's deep gaze upon him, and then he stared at her with even deeper affection.

The intimacy points reward for the past two months was distributed all at once, which made him very happy.
