Chapter 184: 117, 118. Passed the Noble Family test, this... is the Yin Residence? (Big Chapter - ask for subscription)_5

The maid said, "First, take us up."

Song Cheng politely said, "I apologize for the inconvenience," and then lifted the maid and Su Ningyu up to the ground in one jump.

Soon after, the testing began.

The maid first asked Song Cheng to demonstrate his martial arts prowess.

This time, Song Cheng did not hold back much.

If he concealed his strength during the test and missed the chance to be accepted by a noble family, that would be foolish indeed.

At this moment, his body radiated a dark golden aura, mist swirling around him. A phantom shadow of Xuanwu, more than two yards in height, spread from his body. The giant tortoise roared and the fierce serpent hissed, their presence overwhelming, exuding an indescribable dominion.

A mere wave of his hand and throw of his fist, and a whirlwind would sweep across the land, sending sand and stones flying.

His fist struck the ground, causing it to quake.

His two fingers transformed into blades, slicing through mountains, severing peaks.

Su Ningyu’s small mouth was agape from start to finish; it seemed she found it incredibly unbelievable. Her impression score of Song Cheng silently rose back from "98" to "99."

After Song Cheng completed his set of martial arts, the surrounding terrain had subtly changed.

He respectfully bowed to the maid and politely said, "I apologize for my unrefined skills."

Su Ningyu glanced at the maid and said, "Sister, he definitely has talent. How could he achieve this if he isn’t in the Mystic Realm? I didn’t even know he was so powerful."

The maid was also somewhat moved; Song Cheng’s performance had truly surprised her.

This was not a level an ordinary person could reach.

Though it was nothing remarkable among noble families, that level could only be achieved by noble family children stepping out of ice coffins.

But now, which noble family child would willingly leave their ice coffin?

Every day spent outside shortens their life by a day, and every year spent outside shortens their life by a year.

Who would be willing?

The maid asserted, "In this world, you can almost traverse it unhindered."

Song Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "I am incomparable to the Family Head, inferior to Sister Su..."

"Sister Su?"

The maid muttered strangely, then turned to glance at the raised head of Su Ningyu, and then looked back at Song Cheng, saying, "Song, manifest your Divine Soul; let me see."

Song Cheng glanced at the maid’s shifting impression of him.

His performance had raised her impression score from "80" to "90." This indicated her changing mindset toward gradually accepting him as a new noble family member.

So, he respectfully said, "Yes, Family Head."

With that, he willed his Divine Soul to emerge from his brow’s Violet Palace, hovering in the void.

Behind the maid appeared the figure of a giant two-tailed Ghostly Fox.

The Ghostly Fox scrutinized him for a moment, then returned to the maid’s body, asking, "Can you manifest using mudstone?"

Song Cheng nodded, then took a deep breath. The surrounding dust and pebbles surged, transforming him into a mudstone giant towering over two yards tall in an instant.

The maid nodded in satisfaction and said, "Return."

Rustling sounds filled the air as the mud and stones scattered.

Song Cheng’s Divine Soul returned to his body.

The maid’s impression score rose again from "90" to "93."

Though she remained silent, Song Cheng knew he had passed the test.

However, the maid did not immediately reveal this but instead asked, "Song, how long can you maintain the manifestation?"

Maintain it for how long?

This question slightly caught Song Cheng off guard.

Wasn’t it just as long as needed?

Seeing his silence, the maid commented, "Never mind, I understand.

Manifestation is a very exhausting task. Without a nurturing soul residence, one cannot maintain it for long... The fact that you can gather it at all is commendable. You must be tired now, right?"

Song Cheng: ...

A nurturing soul residence?

This sounded quite grand.

The thought crossed his mind, and he quickly raised his hand to his forehead with a wry smile, saying, "You saw through me, Family Head. I am embarrassed."

The maid smiled and said, "You have passed the test. From now on, you are a member of the Su Family."

As her words fell, Su Ningyu, who had been tense all along, broke into a broad smile and said, "Sister, summon the Yin Residence and show it to Song."

Sister?

Song Cheng froze again.

Then suddenly, he understood.

No wonder Su Ningyu wasn’t worried about "Su Houzhang making false accusations." It turned out that "the Head of the Su Family is her sister." And it seemed like they were blood-related.

With this realization, he scratched his head.

He and Su Ningyu had such a relationship, and he also hoped to continue winning her favor. Once her impression score reached one hundred, he planned to tell her about "Ting."

He was worried about both revealing Ting’s talent and not being able to fully harness it, thereby wasting it.

But a noble family undoubtedly knew how to handle such matters, at least more so than ordinary people.

If the Head of the Su Family was Su Ningyu’s sister, then by familial hierarchy, she would be his future elder sister-in-law.

As he was contemplating, the maid suddenly said, "Song, manifest your Divine Soul."

Su Ningyu said, "Come, let me show you my Su Family’s Yin Residence."

Song Cheng hurriedly responded, feeling both nervous and expectant, much like a country bumpkin entering the city or Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. His Divine Soul left his body and looked outward, seeing a small house shimmering with ghostly light floating in the void.

The small house, resembling a cottage, had only one level and not a pavilion. Even from a distance, it looked cramped inside.

Song Cheng was completely stunned.

This... was the Yin Residence?

It seemed... any level of his Ninefold Ghostly Tower could hold numerous such Yin Residences, couldn’t it?

No wonder he found the question "How long can you maintain the manifestation?" so odd...

Inside, a captivating beauty peeked her head out. Using Su Ningyu’s tone, she said, "Song, have you ever seen such a house for Divine Souls to reside in? Stunned? Come in and experience it."
