Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174

"Alright, go ahead and take care of your own affairs," Lin Mengyao waved her hand and Li Minglu hurriedly took his leave. Being the principal young lady of the household, and possibly the future boss’s wife, Li Minglu dared not provoke her.

Seeing Li Minglu obediently leave, Du You felt somewhat depressed but also a bit awkward.

"Well then, everyone, take a seat. Yucha, go and pour some tea," Du You said with a forced laugh.

"What’s your situation now? Why has your level increased so rapidly? You couldn’t have neglected advancing your skills, could you? You’re still young, there’s no need to rush your leveling. You need sufficient advanced skills. The higher the level, the harder it is to obtain corresponding equipment. Without high-level skills, it’s difficult to match the enemy."

"Yes, and I heard that after reaching the seventh tier, skills you haven’t advanced previously can no longer be advanced," Lin Mengyao added in conversation. Du You revealed a hint of surprise; he hadn’t expected there to be such a rule. Normally, advancing at the fourth tier required items from the fourth tier or those that had been handled by masters of that tier.

Once you reached the fifth tier, the level of the required items and the bearers increases to the fifth tier. Du You had thought that upon reaching the seventh tier, it would still involve using items of the seventh tier for advancement, just that the difficulty would keep increasing.

It seems that everything before the seventh tier was just laying the groundwork for it. He wasn’t sure about other aspects, but regarding skills, however many you’ve advanced to will presumably be the limit once you’ve surpassed the seventh tier.

It was also possible to gain skills that started at the seventh tier, but the likelihood of that was probably low.

Du You raised his hand, "Don’t worry, I upgraded only when it was impossible to advance further. All my skills have been advanced, and so have Yucha’s and Yushi’s; even our advanced skills have surpassed level 43."

The smile on Du You’s face, when seen by the two women, left them in awe. Exchanging a glance, they saw the disbelief in each other’s eyes, astounded that all skills had been advanced.

Although they didn’t know how many skills Du You had, it was definitely more than ten. Where on earth did this guy get so many Crystal Coins from? Even with corporate and territorial support while they were at the fourth tier, they hadn’t been able to advance as quickly. How was it that this clearly fifth-tier fellow was advancing faster than both of them? It was a real slap in the face.

Although the two women were pleased and proud of their own foresight, Du You’s rate of advancement was indeed a slap to their faces.

"Perhaps, in the future, Du You might not become a partner of our family but someone our family needs to woo," Lin Mengyao thought to herself. However, if that were the case, her own affairs with Du You would likely meet with no objections.

Indeed, her family might be very pleased, perhaps even nudging her forward. With this thought, Lin Mengyao’s cheeks flushed. Xi Qianxue seemed to be pondering something as well, a conflicted look flickering in her eyes.

Du You had no idea what these two women were thinking; he just sat there, silent. He knew he had advanced quickly, but surely not enough to discourage these two.

Du You knew well that their mental fortitude was exceptional, certainly not something ordinary people could compare with.

After a while, the two women felt they had nothing more to discuss with Du You on this matter and shifted the conversation. Subsequently, the group started to chat about family matters. What Du You hadn’t expected was that these normally very busy women would take time off to spend vacation with him. During this period, they almost spent every day at Du You’s place.

As a result, the respite Du You had finally obtained now felt even busier and more tiring.

In the end, it was Lin Mengyao and Xi Qianxue who always dragged him out shopping. Unexpectedly, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi quickly joined them. Xi Qianxue, the icy beauty, showed no resistance to shopping.

The only one who ended up feeling exhausted by it all was Du You; this was even more tiring than fighting outside.

Finally, as several days passed and the aura of the Law around him faded, Du You dared not linger at home any longer. After saying goodbye to the two women, he set out on a journey again with the two sisters.

Lin Mengyao and Xi Qianxue exchanged a look. Xi Qianxue said, "It seems we need to double our efforts, or else we won’t be able to keep up with Du You. With his strength and talent, without absolute power, we simply can’t fend off all those admirers."

Unconsciously, the two women’s mindset had shifted; initially wanting to compete for Du You, they no longer sought contention but instead conspired to drive away other women close to him. A strong, young, and promising man would certainly attract many; their statuses could no longer hold down those people.

"We can also ally with Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi; we’re quite familiar with them, after all," Lin Mengyao exclaimed, her eyes widening as she looked at Xi Qianxue. This typically ice-cold rival was bolder and more resolute than her in this matter. If it were up to her to decide, she would likely take a long time.

Wait a second—was this Xi Qianxue expressing her feelings?

After thinking a moment, Lin Mengyao said, "Alright then, I agree to an alliance with you in this matter. However, we still need to compete to see who is better," Xi Qianxue nodded slightly.

"Of course, this concerns our future status. We can modify our initial agreement—whichever of us wins will be the lawful wife, how does that sound?" The two women exchanged a look, a fierce fire flashing in their eyes.

Du You had no idea what specific issue the two women were debating. Unbeknownst to him, the women’s sentiments toward him had changed to this extent. If he had known, Du You wouldn’t know whether to be happy or alarmed. In his heart, he felt the two women might have some feelings for him, but certainly not to this extent.

Since his arrival in this world was still quite recent, and he had spent most of his time engaged in battle, Du You was not very familiar with the common knowledge and various customs of this world. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Perhaps he knew of them intellectually, but emotionally, he could not keep up; this was where Du You felt out of place in this world.

In his heart, having Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha as his companions was already a stroke of great fortune; he dared not ask for more. At this moment, Du You, accompanied by the two sisters, opened a spatial passage and flew toward the world of the Giant Beast. This was the next planned destination, only previously interrupted by a sudden scheme from the academy. The world of the Giant Beast was a perfect place for self-improvement.
