"Would you look at that..." Xie Xan whispered softly as Oscar and Ja Sun nodded with a dazed expression. Right now, all the attention that the groom and his friends had instantly shifted onto the six women walking side-by-side. They were young and from the spirit energy that only a few of them gave off unconsciously, they were no doubt talented.

Young, talented, and with enviable backgrounds. Only one of them was married and three of them were rumored to be in a relationship so Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua gained the most obvious looks from potential suitors.

"Now remember, play it cool," Hu Lana's words were compressed and her voice was heard by the remaining girls. She and Xie Xan are the hosts, so, of course, now Xie Xan couldn't laze as he walked up with a wide smile, taking Hu Lana's hands and Oscar did the same with Jun'er, not willing to have any troublesome act of filtering through men just to get his girlfriend.

Ja Sun was walking beside them but he began to see things.

'Am I still adapting?' He murmured internally as he saw a very faint phantom of a giant blue tree behind Ah Yin. This was the first time this happened and it instantly stunned him but not for long as he suddenly felt movement behind.

One of the many blonde youths present in the banquet wearing an ornate purple robe with his hair tucked back slickly walked out with a confident expression. Ja Sun knew him well. The youth was Elder Ci Xue, the Porcupinefish Douluo's Grandson Ci Gin, a rank 42 Spirit Ancestor. His movement seemed to have caused some form of a trigger as many other youths began feeling restless and eyed each other with open and discreet hostility and the Elders in the banquet seemed to be reminiscing fond memories of their youthful times when their expression froze in shock.

The upper society of this world placed more value on benefits and the remaining girls, well, of course aside from Bibi Dong and Ah Yin whose status was even higher than some elders, meant benefits to the various elders of the factions. They would task their youths to try and interact with better parties and the same thing was meant to happen today.

But seeing Ja Sun smiling, easily slipping in between Bibi Dong and Yuehua as his hands sneaked onto their backs, leading all the four women away without an ounce of discomfort by the incredulous gazes around him... well, it was something. Ah Yin was next to Bibi Dong and she couldn't be clearer by the sheer intensity of pleasure Ja Sun was feeling by smacking everyone on the face.

He had status. His strength publicly known to be even greater than other Spirit Douluos and his personal achievements political and martial alongside the intensity hidden behind his eyes and the strange third-eye tattoo on his forehead proved to be a wall greater than any youth his age could try and jump over.

The rumors that he had stronger spirit bones and his personal wealth that could shame even the elders made sure that the Elders themselves didn't step forward to try and ease the situation since that would only lower their stock.

"Feeling pleased with yourself, Brother Ka-ul?" Yuehua gave the man walking next to her a sidelong glance as the mischief in his eyes only deepened, "Come on, I just wanted to see the look on everyone's faces. Play along, please?"

His voice was heard by the four and Erlong pursed her lips. The others were the same. They could certainly play along.

"So... are you planning on walking with us around the entire hall? It would feel like you're compensating for something," Ah Yin retorted as Ja Sun considered her proposal, "How about... we eat?"

"I see."

"Finally!"

"Of course."

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment. This was a great opportunity, the likes she wouldn't have missed previously since the possibility of interacting with many Titled Douluos still under MIA Qian Xunji would prove useful against her competitors, most prominent of them being Yu Xiaogang, however, she recalled her own complaints as to how she felt left out and Hu Lana's advice was simple on the matter.

"Of course, you're gonna feel left out. To not feel left out... try doing stuff together... not paperwork!"

Bibi Dong smiled, "Let's do that... I've contacted with all the elders alone already but a chance to enjoy ourselves is hard to come by."

The moment she said this, her 'subordinates' gazed at her in surprise all at once, making her scowl.

"And then I will provide extra forms for all the time we are wasting here!"

"There it is," Erlong shrugged. Her paperwork has always been dealt with by Yuehua.

It was easy enough to find a place to sit in the banquet with many waiters working hard. Most of them were civilians themselves with odd spirit masters under the rank of 10. While Hu Lana and Xie Xan began meeting around with many groups, familiarizing themselves and Xie Xan tacitly taking up the role of trying to consolidate Bibi Dong's name in the various parties' minds, Oscar and Jun'er decided to have their private moments elsewhere. Although approached by a few, the couple did not really wish to be disturbed from their moment so they made sure to either move themselves or politely send others away.

On the other hand, the table of five was wholly unapproachable. There was a reason for that. Whenever anyone tried to move in their direction, they would feel ominous. In such a lively and brightly lit environment, feeling this sense of unease was greatly unexpected but it still didn't stop many.

"Sister Liu, I have long admired you as an individual and wish to know you better. May I get a moment to dance with you?" The youth was named En Jin, a dark-haired Spirit Emperor with the martial soul related to a staff.

Cheeks full and shocked, Erlong looked back at the man. Shocking the man itself was the fact that Erlong didn't take a long time to swallow the food and shook her head silently before focusing on the table.

Brushing off her refusal to shyness... that he felt uncharacteristic of Erlong, En Jin tried again, "Sister Liu, I am a man of commitment. Though it may sound annoying"

"I don't dance. But if you want to fight, sure, let's go," Erlong cut off the youth, and his words were stuck in his throat.

Fight?

Her?

She who took out the team of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan while rumored to be holding back and then willingly admitting defeat...

She wants to fight him?

Seeing her intent gaze and the sense of lust for battle that En Jin had seen in many extreme spirit masters, he shrank his neck realizing that she meant what she said.

Forcing a smile, En Jin shook his head, bidding farewell with a few polite words.

"Wow, you crushed the man," Ja Sun mumbled, cringing slightly.

"Says you," She retorted. Keeping a hold of his gaze, Liu Erlong brought a drum stick towards her slightly glimmering lips due to the oil of food she almost inhaled. There was hunger in her gaze and just when everyone except Erlong seemed to be feeling an unusual tension between Ja Sun and Erlong, she viciously chomped on the meat, cutting the bone, too.

'My god!' Ja Sun shivered, his reactions clear enough as it made others snort a chuckle.

"What?" Erlong asked in confusion.

"En Jin isn't the only man you just scared off," Bibi Dong smiled. This was a great point for reference. As long as she finds some more 'weaknesses', everything will be under her 'control.' Something she felt she had lost ever since Ja Sun had started taking advantage of her shamelessly... which she wouldn't admit publicly to have found pleasing.

"You know, I've had my fun so if you guys want to talk around, you don't have to stay here," Ja Sun shrugged. It's already been quite some time and it was as he said, he just wanted to mess with others. What use is the power to him if he can't even wield it for his amusement? He couldn't do so in his previous world to set examples or be a better leader but that wasn't needed here.

"I think I will stay, politics is nauseating," Ah Yin mumbled, still committing cannibalism by chewing on her salad.

"It's not nauseating, it's like a maze. You just have to find the right approach and technique," Bibi Dong smiled but she didn't seem eager to leave. If she did, she wouldn't have decided to stay in the first place.

"It's hard to control a conversation in such events so I would rather stay here," Yuehua shook her head, too.

Ja Sun nodded, "Then good luck. I'm going to chat around."

His words made others' expressions freeze before he chuckled and leaned back on his chair, "You all make it too easy!"

His words instantly earned glares but seeing Ja Sun having such a rapport with them... he simply earned glares from many corners. Not that he bothered. He only felt pleased to be able to annoy others. It was an accomplishment, after all, and he knew it well.

Soon, realizing that they would be swarmed no matter how much they try, Oscar and Jun'er joined the group of five to relieve themselves of the other seekers of their attention and after making sure to have met other elders and accepting their words of congratulations, Xie Xan and Hu Lana joined in later, too.

The banquet wasn't only for them to interact with others. It was a massive banquet, so of course, even if the group of nine attracted attention, there were still many Titled Douluo level elders and even if none of them were from the fabled Elder's Hall, the news of the level of strength Spirit Hall holds, at least, half of it, will be made public to many smaller organizations because with everything said and done, the Giant's Fortress, although independent, was surrounded by the Clear Sky Sect's Territory and they had their men in many key locations.

After two hours, the group left the banquet to be managed by their subordinates, and then Xie Xan and Hu Lana left the group, returning to their residence and being with their son currently with Ja Sun's clone who left once the couple arrived.

Honestly, the things he learned by taking care of Xie Yue were more interesting to Ja Sun compared to the banquet but he wouldn't miss the chance to have Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, too. Good thing clones were a thing, right?

Jun'er and Oscar were the next to leave. With the things Ja Sun had unintentionally intruded upon today... he feared Oscar's and Jun'er's health and envied it enough to have his own thoughts as he continued to sneak glances in Ah Yin's and Bibi Dong's direction, something that was caught by all four of them.

Ja Sun, however, had already begun walking towards Bibi Dong's residence since he would be staying here. Since he hadn't voiced out any farewell, the other two girls awkwardly followed, not knowing what to say until he stood by the door and glanced at them strangely.

"Um... do you guys still need something?" He looked at Yuehua and Erlong.

"Huh?" Erlong frowned.

"I mean, I wanted to spend time with them," He gestured in Ah Yin's and Bibi Dong's direction, "But... you guys kept following us so... what's up?"

"Nothing," Yuehua groaned in frustration. Now she wasn't even sure if this was a deliberate prank or not. Then again, after coming out of the banquet Ja Sun didn't do anything remotely 'wrong' except suggestively glancing at Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, which, technically, wasn't really wrong.

Seeing the surroundings turning awkward, tensions turning thick enough to be easily cut by a knife, Ah Yin shrugged, "Well, off you go then."

Bibi Dong and Ja Sun rolled their eyes while Liu Erlong huffed a snort, catching Yuehua's wrist and then pulling her away.

Entering Bibi Dong's residence, Bibi Dong finally couldn't help but voice her doubts with a sour tone.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

She was well-versed with the concept of greed that extends to partners more than one already has. By a greater outlook, it's the same as one's ambition for power. A spirit master sets goals, and then after achieving these goals, he or she sets more and demands more of themselves but still thinking that Ja Sun would want more while having two rather capable women by his side put Bibi Dong in a tense mood.

"Did what?" Ja Sun inquired.

"Lead them here," Ah Yin continued. Her support for Bibi Dong at this moment strangely made him feel excited.

"No," Ja Sun shrugged, stating the truth, if he had done it, he would have enjoyed the awkwardness, which he didn't.

But when Bibi Dong was feeling a hit suspicious, a skill learned naturally after years of delving in politics, Ah Yin shrugged. Ja Sun did not lie to her and if there was something he could not say, instead of lying, he simply doesn't speak on that topic even with her questions.

"Then strip."

"That's not how you court a man. I want to be thoroughly pampered!" Ja Sun crossed his arms. Their conservation already leaving the scope of Bibi Dong's imagination.

'Just how much do I need to catch up for?' She finally realized how different her starting point was due to focusing on her work after arriving here and constructing the Giant's Fortress.
