Qian Renxue's Feelings, News of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast
Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Renxue, shook his head with a smile, and said to Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, you seem distracted. You must have something to do, right?"
Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I'm just a little tired after finishing the Divine Trial."
Qian Daoliu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "In that case, go and rest. I'll head back now."
After saying that, Qian Daoliu turned around and returned to the Worship Hall.
Qian Renxue did not try to stop him. After Qian Daoliu returned to the Worship Hall, she hurriedly walked towards the direction her gaze had been directed towards.
In the Side Courtyard
Lin Chen watched Qian Renxue walk quickly towards him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Xue, on completing the Third Trial."
Qian Renxue didn't speak, but simply nodded silently, and then sat down next to Lin Chen.
"Um... it's a bit cramped." Lin Chen blinked in confusion, clearly not understanding why Qian Renxue would leave such a large space to sit and instead sit down next to him.
Seeing that Qian Renxue remained silent for a while, Lin Chen asked somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Xue, what was your reward for this Divine Trial?"
Qian Renxue spoke softly, "After completing the Third Trial, my Soul Power Level increased to level seventy-three, and I obtained the Right Arm Soul Bone of the Angel Set."
"Oh, I see. Well then... congratulations." Lin Chen nodded, but the atmosphere quickly became awkward again.
The two remained silent for a moment.
Qian Renxue kept rubbing her fingers, as if she wanted to say something, and Lin Chen also felt that Qian Renxue was different from usual, but he couldn't figure out what was different.
"No, this is too awkward. It's time to change the subject." After a moment of silence, Lin Chen steeled himself and spoke again, "Sister Xue, you said you'd tell me something after I broke through level 60. What was it?"
Qian Renxue's hand suddenly stopped moving. She put down her fingers, looked up at Lin Chen, her lips moved, but then closed again.
Lin Chen was a little puzzled by her gaze. "What's wrong? Sister Xue, you're acting strange today?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself, and looked intently into Lin Chen's eyes, saying gently, "Lin Chen, will you be with me forever?"
Lin Chen paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I'm willing. Aren't I sitting right next to you right now?"
After he finished speaking, a sudden silence fell over the air.
Qian Renxue stared at him for two seconds, her cheeks instantly turning red.
She bit her lip, stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance, and said, "Lin Chen, you're such a blockhead!"
After saying that, she stood up, turned around, and walked towards the Courtyard Gate.
Lin Chen sat on the stone bench, watching Qian Renxue's retreating figure, blinking blankly, "What's going on? Did I say something wrong?"
Qian Renxue did not turn around. Her face grew hotter and hotter, and her steps quickened until she disappeared outside the Courtyard Gate.
"What do you mean?" Lin Chen scratched his head, thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure out where he had said something wrong.
Over the next two weeks, Lin Chen discovered that Qian Renxue was avoiding him.
When he went to the Angel Temple to cultivate with Qian Renxue, she remained inside.
When he went to the Worship Hall to find Qian Daoliu, she was not there. Occasionally, when he saw her figure in the distance in Spirit City, she would immediately turn around and take another path.
Lin Chen was depressed for several days, unable to understand why Qian Renxue was angry when he had clearly answered yes.
That afternoon, Lin Chen finished cultivating in the Guest Courtyard and was sitting on a stone bench, lost in thought, pondering his Sixth Soul Ring.
"What should we do about the Sixth Soul Ring? Forget about the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. If all else fails, maybe we should try our luck in the Far North..."
It's no wonder Lin Chen is having a headache, since Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are rare, generally only existing in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Far North, and the depths of the Sea.
Besides these, there is the Evil Demon Forest, far away on the Sun Moon Continent.
The overlords of the Evil Demon Forest are the Evil Eye Clan, which includes a group of 100,000-year-old Evil Eyes, and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler is Ferocious Beast that is nearly 800,000 years old.
Moreover, there are other races of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Sun Moon Continent.
But the problem is, putting aside whether these Soul Beasts are suitable for Lin Chen, the key issue is that he doesn't know the exact location of the Sun Moon Continent. Even if he crosses the Sea, he might not be able to find it, which leaves him with no options.
Just then, footsteps sounded Courtyard Gate, and a guard entered, bowing and saying, "Young Master Lin Chen, the Great Enshrined requests your presence."
"I understand." Lin Chen nodded, stood up, and followed the guards toward the Worship Hall.
Lin Chen arrived at the Worship Hall, secretly wondering why Qian Daoliu had come to see him this time.
Upon entering the Angel Temple, one sees Qian Daoliu standing before the Angel God Statue, his hands behind his back, gazing at the golden light flowing over the statue.
Qian Renxue stood quietly beside him, her face calm and her gaze fixed on the ceiling.
When Lin Chen walked in, Qian Renxue glanced at him, and upon seeing that it was Lin Chen, she immediately turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Lin Chen blinked blankly, then Qian Daoliu and said, "Great Enshrined, what brings you here?"
Qian Daoliu around, waved his hand, and said, "No need for formalities."
His gaze swept between Lin Chen and Qian Renxue, recalling Qian Renxue's attitude over the past few days. A look of realization flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled at Lin Chen, saying, "I heard from Golden Crocodile that you're planning to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as your Sixth Soul Ring."
Lin Chen nodded and said, "That's right, I do plan to hunt down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Qian Daoliu nodded and said calmly, "With your current physical condition and mental strength, you can indeed withstand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
"So I've already sent Qian Jun and Jiang Mo to help you find a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"And you're lucky; they've already found a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast deep in the Sea, possessing both light and water attributes."
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. A 100,000-year-old Light-Attribute Soul Beast was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with the attribute of light is definitely much stronger than any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he could find in the Star Dou Great Forest or the Far North.
Lin Chen knew that such a Soul Beast was extremely rare, and if he could hunt it down and obtain its Soul Ring, his strength would definitely increase significantly.
However, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast possessing both light and water attributes must have a very strong bloodline, making it somewhat difficult to kill.
"Thank you Great Enshrined." Lin Chen immediately bowed to Qian Daoliu in gratitude.
No need for such formalities.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand slightly, "That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is very strong. Qian Jun and Jiang Mo are no match for it. Later, I will send Golden Crocodile to go to the depths of the Sea with you to ensure that we can kill that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
