Chapter 170, First Soul Ring
Chapter 170, First Soul Ring
The sun shines brightly, warming her heart.
On the glazed tiles of the roof, a small animal lay lazily on its side. Its eyes were slightly closed, bathed in the gentle warmth of the sun, every hair on its body shimmering with a dazzling light, as if plated with a layer of radiant gold. Its tail occasionally slapped gently, appearing extremely relaxed and content.
However, at that moment, a dark shadow suddenly enveloped it, blocking out the warm sunlight.
The little beast wrinkled its cute nose, a hint of displeasure in its expression, and slowly opened its hazy eyes.
Suddenly.
A hand swiftly reached out and precisely grabbed the scruff of the little beast's neck, bringing it back to full consciousness.
"Hey you, can't you show some respect for the imperial beast? Put me down right now!" Lin Qiu'er kicked her legs wildly, her little face puffed up with anger, looking just like a little pufferfish.
Lin Ye laughed heartily, picked up Qiu'er with one hand, and lightly leaped, landing steadily in the courtyard.
After sitting down in the pavilion, he finally let go of Qiu'er's hand and put her down.
After regaining her freedom, Qiu'er turned around and bit Lin Ye's hand without any hesitation.
"hiss!"
Lin Ye gasped in pain; this guy's bite force was truly not to be underestimated.
Although the skin wasn't broken, the pain was still very real.
"You heartless little brat."
"Hmph, who told you to disturb my sleep?" Qiu'er raised her head, looking arrogant, which made people both annoyed and amused.
Lin Ye smiled helplessly, not bothering to argue with the little guy, and waved his hand to take out an exquisite food box from his storage soul tool.
Open the food box and take out the dishes inside.
"Wow, sweet and sour fish!" Qiu'er exclaimed excitedly, and immediately rushed forward to devour it, completely disregarding her image.
"You little glutton." Lin Ye smiled slightly when he saw this. For some reason, this little guy especially loved sweet and sour food.
While Qiu'er was enjoying her meal, Lin Ye's thoughts had already drifted off into the distance.
During this time, many things have undergone earth-shattering changes because of his time travel.
First is the once-renowned Haotian Sect, which has now been renamed the Rat Sect and has been in seclusion for more than a decade.
The Rat Clan is now in an extremely awkward situation. Many of its members have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, but because they have not been able to leave the Rat Clan, they are unable to obtain suitable soul rings.
The most representative example is the sect leader Tang Lie, who is still only a level 90 Soul Douluo.
There is also a large number of young disciples who, after awakening their martial souls, cultivated to level 10, yet still couldn't obtain their first soul ring.
The Spirit Hall set up strict checkpoints outside the Rat Clan, strictly prohibiting members of the Rat Clan from leaving.
This move is undoubtedly like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Unless they are fools, the members of the Rat Clan will not sit idly by and wait for their doom.
During this period, a fierce riot also broke out in the Rat Clan. Tang Lie led the Rat Clan members in an attempt to break out, but they were ultimately suppressed by the Spirit Hall.
After eliminating a group of troublemakers, the Rat Clan had no choice but to behave themselves, and their lives became even more difficult and miserable than before.
Today, the Rat Sect has almost disappeared from the public eye, and people are almost forgetting the existence of what was once known as the number one sect in the world.
If we're talking about who was most affected, it has to be Tang San.
Unlike in the original story where he possessed two martial souls, Tang San now only has one Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
Tang San is currently at the Soul Master level, possesses three 10-year soul rings, and has fused two 10-year soul bones, namely the right arm bone and the head soul bone.
Tang San's pig-like identity became an unavoidable flaw. Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang both treated him as a bastard, which led to a seemingly harmonious relationship between the three, but in reality, they were at odds. Tang San had long harbored resentment towards Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang.
Besides Tang San, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang's life trajectories also underwent tremendous changes.
Rat Douluo Tang Hao's soul power remains at level 90, with no progress over the years. Those 10-year soul rings have completely blocked his path forward.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he has stayed by Tang San's side all these years but has accomplished nothing and often complains about his fate.
In accordance with the principle of respecting history, Lin Ye captured Yu Xiaogang before entering the Killing City and brought him into the Killing City together.
After that, Yu Xiaogang was humiliated by the scumbag Gong Changwei.
By the time Bibi Dong found him, Yu Xiaogang had already died, so Bibi Dong had no choice but to bury his body outside the City of Slaughter.
Then, perhaps even the heavens were displeased with Yu Xiaogang, a bolt of lightning struck Yu Xiaogang's grave.
On Lin Ye's side, Xiao Wu's mother, A Rou, successfully avoided the tragic fate of becoming a spirit ring after receiving Lin Ye's reminder.
……
Just as Lin Ye's thoughts were wandering and he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a little creature lightly jump onto him.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Qiu'er gently tugged at Lin Ye's sleeve with her paws.
Lin Ye then snapped out of her daze, rubbing the round, fluffy little head in her arms. "Ah, I was just spacing out. What did you say?"
Qiu'er didn't dwell on it. She tilted her small head and asked, "If I were to transform, what form would be best for me?"
"Are you going to transform into human form?" Lin Ye's eyes lit up instantly.
Lin Qiu'er said, "Haven't you always wanted me to take human form? Quickly help me think of something that would be good for me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye blurted out without thinking, "Then it must be fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, a cleavage, and a curvy figure. That's called the Pythagorean theorem."
Lin Qiu'er looked bewildered. "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Lin Ye laughed heartily, thinking to himself that this little guy was still too naive.
But it's better to be simple, because that makes it easier to fool people.
He reached out and gently stroked Lin Qiu'er's soft fur, running it from head to tail.
In the original novel, Lin Qiu'er is based on the appearance of Wang Dong'er from Huo Yuhao's memories, giving the impression of being a shadow of Wang Dong'er.
Later, she sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao, and her bloodline was taken by Tang Buddha and given to his daughter Wang Dong'er. He even claimed that the auspicious beast was originally a part of Wang Dong'er, which was utterly shameless.
It could be said that Lin Qiu'er's nightmare began when she met Huo Yuhao. From that moment on, her fate was arbitrarily controlled by others.
Lin Ye didn't know what Wang Dong'er looked like, nor was he interested in finding out.
He would never allow Qiu'er to take on the appearance of someone else. Qiu'er is Qiu'er, a unique individual, not someone's shadow.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye lowered his head, his eyes filled with a hint of doting, and slowly said, "Qiu'er, you are you, a unique auspicious beast. You don't need to care about other people's opinions. And don't live up to other people's expectations, including mine, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu'er felt a surge of warmth in her heart and affectionately rubbed her cheek against Lin Ye's hand.
At this moment, Hyotei strolled over leisurely, carrying half a huge watermelon in his arms and holding a spoon in his hand, scooping out and eating it with a relaxed air.
"Here, Zhu Qing had someone send this over." As he spoke, Bing Di tossed a large box to Lin Ye as if by magic.
The box was completely black, about two feet wide and about one meter long.
Lin Ye quickly reached out and took it. Before even looking at it, he already had some guesses about what was inside.
Upon opening the box, two soul bones were found inside: a left arm bone and a right leg bone.
Both of these are 10-year-old soul bones, which are considered the worst of the worst among all soul bones.
Normally, Soul Masters wouldn't even give it a second glance.
Lin Ye, however, was overjoyed, as if he had obtained a rare treasure, his eyes filled with uncontrollable delight.
Although he guessed that the box contained soul bones, he never expected there would be two.
With these two soul bones, plus Tang San's right arm bone and skull, Tang San now possesses four soul bones. He only needs the torso bone and left leg bone to complete his set of 10-year soul bones.
It must be said that Lin Ye truly cared for Tang San sincerely and attentively, always keeping Tang San in his heart.
Lin Ye happily and carefully put away the soul bone, then gently lifted Lin Qiu'er with both hands and tossed her high into the air. After Qiu'er fell, he tossed her up again, caught her, and then tossed her up once more.
This was repeated three times before they finally stopped.
Over the years, he has had quite good luck, and Qiu'er must have played a part in that.
That's why she's called an auspicious beast. Lin Ye even felt that he could offer three sticks of incense to this little guy every day and worship him devoutly.
Lin Qiu'er was caught off guard by this sudden action and quickly jumped away, successfully escaping Lin Ye's "clutches". Afterwards, the little guy went back to his room to transform into human form.
As evening fell, a gentle breeze blew, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell like golden gauze.
inside the room.
Lin Ye gradually calmed his aura, slowly opened his eyes, and exited his meditative state.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a strange girl lying on the bed.
The girl had short, shimmering gold hair, styled in a unique jellyfish shape that added a touch of liveliness and fashion. She was sweet and charming, with bright, sparkling eyes that radiated youthful energy, instantly captivating anyone who looked at her.
Her slender and graceful figure, accentuated by the pale yellow dress, made her appear even more charming and captivating.
Upon seeing a stranger in her room, Lin Ye was startled, her first thought being that someone had sneaked into her home.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, with two titled Douluo, Arou and Ayin, and two super big shots, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, in his house, there was absolutely no way a stranger could sneak into his room without a sound.
Moreover, the girl looked completely at ease, lying comfortably on her bed, as if she were at home.
"You are... Qiu'er?" Lin Ye asked tentatively, with a hint of doubt.
Lin Qiu'er lightly jumped off the bed and gracefully twirled in front of Lin Ye. "How was it? Did I look good?"
Lin Ye nodded repeatedly, gave a thumbs up, and sincerely praised, "Beautiful! My Qiu'er is indeed naturally beautiful!"
"Hehe, you have good taste." Lin Qiu'er smiled, revealing two adorable dimples on her face when she smiled.
Lin Qiu'er, once a mythical beast, was an untouchable little ancestor in the Star Dou Great Forest, and all the soul beasts gave way to her.
This is precisely what shaped her unique personality, which is slightly spoiled, domineering, and mischievous.
Now, Lin Qiu'er's transformed appearance perfectly matches her spoiled and arrogant personality.
Taking advantage of Lin Qiu'er's inattention, Lin Ye reached out and grabbed her hand, gently pulling her into his arms.
Lin Qiu'er remained calm and composed, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Because for a long time before she took human form, she slept in the same bed with Lin Ye.
Let alone just a hug, Lin Ye had already touched her all over, and she was already used to it.
Seeing that she showed no change in expression and no resistance, Lin Ye began to roam over her delicate body with his hands.
Lin Qiu'er still didn't resist, saying the same thing again: she was used to being touched.
Although she had already taken human form, her mindset hadn't changed in a short time. This gave Lin Ye an opportunity to take advantage of her, and he became even more demanding.
A moment later, Lin Qiu'er's breathing became erratic, and her face turned red, like a ripe apple.
The two of them collapsed...
Lin Qiu'er blushed as she looked at Lin Ye, her eyes flickering, but she did not stop him from taking further action.
Seeing this, Lin Ye naturally didn't waste any time. He seized the opportunity to launch a major attack, conquering cities and territories along the way, overcoming layer upon layer of obstacles, and finally touching upon the true meaning of life.
……
Ten thousand words are omitted here.
After a friendly exchange, Lin Ye delivered his vast fortune to Lin Qiu'er's boudoir.
The next morning.
Lin Ye, who was walking out of the room, ran into Hyotei.
Seeing his satisfied expression, Hyotei curled her lip and retorted, "The auspicious beast has only just transformed into human form, and you're already in such a hurry?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye blinked and said with a grin, "I understand. Then I'll go to your room tonight."
Hyotei was instantly enraged, "Go to hell! I don't care!"
……
And so, Lin Ye diligently cultivated during the day, and spent his nights in blush-inducing and shameless sexual bliss with his many beauties.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a full 10 months have passed since we left the Killing City.
Lin Ye's soul power finally reached level 60, and he was only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Emperor.
Lin Ye already had a clear plan for this sixth spirit ring.
That was the 10-year-old soul beast that possessed Tang Chen—the Nine-Headed Bat King.
Back in the City of Slaughter, the Nine-Headed Bat King targeted him at every turn, and in the end, he even personally took action, attempting to kill him on Hell Road.
Lin Ye had never forgotten any of this. If he hadn't been thinking about its soul ring, how could it have survived until now?
