Three Girls Go Soul Hunting, Ah Yin: Brother Ji, About the Blue Silver King...

Qian Xunji brought Shui Bing'er home to the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw Little Qian Renxue tugging at Bibi Dong's sleeve, hopping around the courtyard and waving her arms, her excitement plain to see.

Qian Xunji walked over and asked with a smile:

"What are you two so happy about? I could hear the commotion from a long way off."

At the sound of his voice, Little Qian Renxue spun around and threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around Qian Xunji's waist, tilted up her little face, and cried in a clear voice:

"Dad! Quick, guess what's changed about me!"

Qian Xunji reached out and patted her little head. After sensing her condition for a moment, a smile spread across his face:

"Well, well, your Soul Power fluctuations are powerful and solid. Have you crossed the bottleneck?

You've broken through to level 40?"

"You got it!"

Little Qian Renxue lifted her chin, her face full of pride.

"I was meditating in my room just now, and I burst straight through the level 39 threshold!

I'm a level 40 Quasi-Soul Ancestor now!

A nine-year-old Soul Ancestor, Dad. There can't be another one on the whole Douluo Continent, right?"

Bibi Dong stepped forward, her gentle voice tinged with pride:

"Brother Ji, Xue'er's talent really is astonishing. When she broke through just now, her sacred Soul Power overflowed, and even I was amazed.

At this rate, breaking through to Soul King before she's twelve won't be difficult."

Qian Xunji laughed heartily.

"That's my daughter! You haven't brought shame on our Qian Family!"

Only then did Qian Renxue notice the little girl following behind Qian Xunji. She blinked and asked:

"Dad, why did you bring our junior sister here too?"

Qian Xunji drew Shui Bing'er forward and smiled.

"Bing'er came to see me at the Pope's Palace just now too.

You two really did pick the same day. Bing'er's Soul Power has also broken through to level 10, so it's time for her to get her First Soul Ring."

Little Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She let go of Qian Xunji, bounded over to Shui Bing'er in a few steps, and took her little hand, saying warmly:

"Really?

Bing'er, doesn't that mean we can go Soul Hunting together?"

Shui Bing'er bowed somewhat shyly and said softly:

"Greetings, Senior Sister. Congratulations on breaking through to level 40."

"Oh, come on, we're family. No need to be so formal!"

Qian Renxue patted her little chest, putting on the air of a big sister.

"I'll look after you on the way. If we run into a powerful Soul Beast, just watch me show you what I can do!"

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong exchanged smiles.

Bibi Dong then asked:

"Brother Ji, where are you planning to take them?

The Star Dou Great Forest?

Or the Sunset Forest?

Xue'er needs her Fourth Soul Ring, so its quality absolutely can't be low.

Bing'er's First Soul Ring might not be very old, but since she has a top-tier Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, its attribute must be exceptionally pure."

Qian Xunji shook his head.

"No, we're going to neither Star Dou nor Sunset.

This time, we're going to the Far North."

"The Far North?"

Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.

"It's bitterly cold there, and it's a long way off. Why choose the Far North in particular?"

Qian Xunji's expression grew slightly solemn. He turned to Bibi Dong and said seriously:

"Dong'er, today I received a secret letter from Snow Devil Douluo in the Far North.

At the edge of the Extreme North Core Circle, he discovered a Soul Beast that had just overcome its tribulation and broken through to a hundred thousand years of age—an Icefield Raging Bear."

Bibi Dong's heart trembled, and a glimmer of heat flashed through her eyes.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"That's right."

Qian Xunji nodded.

"Your First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, already has all its Soul Rings, including two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

But your Second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, has yet to have a single Soul Ring attached.

This hundred-thousand-year-old Icefield Raging Bear is exceptionally domineering in its vitality, defense, and extreme explosive freezing power. It couldn't be more suitable as the First Soul Ring for your Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!"

Bibi Dong was overwhelmed with delight, her voice trembling slightly:

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as my Second Martial Soul's First Soul Ring... Brother Ji, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would do too."

"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? No!"

Qian Xunji said decisively.

"My woman must have the very best setup on the continent!"

Little Qian Renxue clapped her hands and cheered.

"That's wonderful!

Mom can hunt a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring too!

I want to see what a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast looks like!"

Shui Bing'er was even more stirred up by what she heard. She said quietly:

"Teacher... do Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts really exist?"

"Not only do they exist, you'll get to see one with your own eyes this time."

Qian Xunji tousled Shui Bing'er's hair and smiled.

"Besides, your Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix. There's nothing in the world better suited to you than the ice-attribute Soul Beasts of the Far North.

We'll find you a top-tier ice-attribute Soul Ring in the outskirts of the Far North, and while we're at it, look for a suitable Soul Beast tens of thousands of years old for Xue'er in the mixed zone. Three birds with one stone."

The mood in the courtyard immediately grew lively.

Just then, the door opened with a soft sound, and the heavily pregnant Ah Yin walked slowly out, a smile in her eyes:

"I could hear you laughing from a long way off. What wonderful news have you heard?"

Qian Xunji hurried over to support Ah Yin by the arm and said gently:

"Ah Yin, why did you come out? Walk slowly."

Bibi Dong also came over with a smile.

"Ah Yin, Brother Ji is getting ready to take me and the two little ones to the Far North to hunt for Soul Rings."

Qian Xunji told her in detail about Xue'er breaking through to level 40, Shui Bing'er breaking through to level 10, and the discovery of the hundred-thousand-year-old Icefield Raging Bear in the Far North.

When Ah Yin heard it all, her face filled with sincere joy.

"Really? Congratulations, Dong'er, and congratulations to Xue'er and Bing'er too!

This is truly wonderful news."

Qian Xunji held Ah Yin's soft, warm hand and said apologetically:

"Ah Yin, you're getting further along in your pregnancy. The Far North is bitterly cold, its storms are extremely fierce, and the conditions are harsh. With you expecting, it really wouldn't be convenient for you to come along.

So stay in Spirit City and rest easy this time, and wait for us to come back. All right?"

Ah Yin nodded obediently and smiled.

"Brother Ji, I understand.

In my condition, I can't stand that kind of ordeal. How could I follow you off on such a wild trip?

With the Great Enshrined and the other Enshrined uncles here, Spirit City is as secure as a fortress. I'm perfectly fine here, so go without worrying.

I'll prepare a welcome-home feast for you and wait for you to return in triumph."

Warmth filled Qian Xunji's heart, and he gently stroked her hair.

"All right. I'll be back as quickly as I can. I certainly won't delay our wedding three months from now."

Ah Yin smiled, pressing her lips together. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she raised her eyes and said softly:

"Oh, right, Brother Ji, there's something you mustn't forget... the one in the Blue Silver Forest you promised me about a few days ago..."

Qian Xunji couldn't help laughing. He patted his forehead and said:

"Look at me, I almost forgot about that.

Don't worry, I won't forget!

The Blue Silver King of the Blue Silver Forest, that old steward with eighty-five thousand years of cultivation."

Ah Yin's eyes held a smile as she said softly:

"He's protected the Blue Silver Clan for many years and has been utterly loyal. If he really could receive help from that Immortal Herb..."
