AAA Soul Ring Wholesaler, Boss Feng
"Xiao Feng, this gift is far too precious. I can't accept it, and you haven't absorbed a Soul Ring yet."
"You should keep this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and absorb it yourself."
Hearing her grandfather confirm in person that this was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Qian Renxue hurriedly refused.
She still remembered that Tang Feng had been stuck at Level 40 for at least a year without absorbing a Soul Ring.
He's probably been waiting to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Qian Renxue thought.
From the few things her grandfather had mentioned before, Qian Renxue guessed that Tang Feng had some unique ability that let him absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring beyond his level.
Just like his Second Soul Ring.
If she absorbed this Soul Ring, what would Tang Feng absorb?
Yes, what would he absorb?
Qian Daoliu had thought of that too, but unlike Qian Renxue, he knew that Tang Feng's Third Soul Ring was not ten thousand years old, but a hundred thousand.
That made him even more certain that Tang Feng had the ability to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Qian Daoliu politely declined as well.
"Xiao Feng, you need this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring more than Xiao Xue does right now."
"Take the gift back. I appreciate the thought on Xiao Xue's behalf."
Seeing that Qian Renxue and her grandfather seemed to be overestimating him, Tang Feng explained:
"Xiao Xue, Great Enshrined, I already have plans for my Fourth Soul Ring. This Soul Beast's Soul Ring isn't what I'm looking for."
"Besides, I really can't absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring right now."
That's assuming I don't use a King Ball, Tang Feng thought.
"Xiao Xue is at Level 65 now. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll reach Level 70 next year."
"I'm sure I don't need to tell you how important Level 70 is."
"If she can have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, the boost it gives her Martial Soul Avatar will be beyond anything a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can compare to."
"The difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth."
"So, Xiao Xue, you should accept it."
"Well..." Qian Renxue didn't know what to say. She knew Tang Feng was doing this for her sake, and it made her happy, excited, and deeply moved.
Of course, she also wanted a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. After all, it was something one could encounter only by chance, not seek out.
But Qian Renxue genuinely felt that this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring would be more useful to Tang Feng.
Only a matching Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone could bring out each other's full potential.
If she absorbed it, it would be wasted. She already had the Angel Set, so absorbing only the Soul Ring certainly wouldn't be as useful as having the whole set on Tang Feng.
Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather, hoping he could try to persuade Tang Feng again.
Qian Daoliu felt helpless too. It seemed the boy Xiao Feng was dead set on letting Xiao Xue absorb this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Although he wanted Xiao Xue to absorb it too, he couldn't quite get past his conscience.
Where had this boy gotten so many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings?
He had two on him, and now he was giving away another.
This went beyond treating money like dirt. It was an indescribable kind of extravagance—downright inhuman wealth.
"Sigh..."
Qian Daoliu sighed and shook his head. Having made up his mind, he said to Qian Renxue:
"Xiao Xue, accept this gift from Xiao Feng."
"Don't let his heartfelt intentions go to waste."
"Then what about Xiao Feng's Fourth Soul Ring?" Qian Renxue asked firmly.
Clearly, she wasn't very satisfied with her grandfather's decision.
"Well..." Qian Daoliu was left speechless by Qian Renxue's retort.
Damn it...
Qian Daoliu sent a voice transmission to Tang Feng:
"Brat, do something about your girlfriend!"
"You just give her a gift and leave the mess for me to clean up!"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's furious voice in his head, Tang Feng hurriedly apologized:
"Sorry, Great Enshrined. I'll talk to Xiao Xue right now."
"All right, all right!" Tang Feng pulled Xiao Xue over and held her soft, delicate hands in his. "Xiao Xue, I actually have another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
As he spoke, Tang Feng took Da Ming out. Like Er Ming, he was dull-eyed and unresponsive.
An ox's head and a snake's body, a hundred thousand years old—wasn't this the Sky Azure Bull Python?
Qian Daoliu recognized Da Ming at a glance.
Holy crap, then wasn't that black ape just now the Titan Giant Ape?!
Holy hell!
Tang Feng actually caught both emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest!
What the fuck, is he a god descended to earth?
Qian Daoliu was dumbfounded.
Was his grandson-in-law Tang Feng's luck defying the heavens, or did his backing reach all the way to heaven?
He had Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings one after another, as though they were Hundred-Year Soul Rings.
"This is another transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I just caught him today, so it's fine even if you absorb that Soul Beast's Soul Ring."
"If I want to absorb one, don't I still have this one?"
"If you don't believe me, ask your grandfather."
Qian Renxue couldn't tell whether the creature Tang Feng had just taken out of his Storage Soul Tool was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she looked at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu nodded numbly.
Only then did the firmness in Qian Renxue's eyes soften considerably.
Tang Feng reached out and gently rubbed Qian Renxue's soft cheek. "So don't worry," he said affectionately. "It's not that I don't want to add a Fourth Soul Ring. I really don't think it's suitable."
"All right, then I'll accept this Soul Ring. I'll save the Soul Bone for you when the time comes." Qian Renxue kissed Tang Feng on the cheek.
"Sure!" Tang Feng nodded. Qian Renxue had the Angel Set, so she really didn't need a Soul Bone.
Turning to the silent Qian Daoliu, Tang Feng added:
"Great Enshrined, I'll leave this Soul Beast with you for now. Please make sure to keep him safe for Xiao Xue."
"Don't let him wake up."
Qian Daoliu reached out and drew Er Ming over to him.
Qian Daoliu gave Er Ming a light tap on the forehead, and a streak of golden light entered the space between Er Ming's brows. Er Ming immediately fell asleep.
"He's just a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I'll keep him safe!"
"By the way, does the one beside you need dealing with too?"
Seeing that there was another such benefit to be had, Tang Feng hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes. Sorry for the trouble, Great Enshrined."
Qian Daoliu struck out with his palm from a distance, sending another streak of golden light into the space between Da Ming's brows.
Da Ming fell asleep just like Er Ming.
"This golden light can only keep him asleep for about half a year. If you haven't absorbed him by then, you can come find me again."
Tang Feng happily put the sleeping Da Ming into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.
"Is there anything else?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Tang Feng and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.
"No."
After leaving the Worship Hall, Qian Renxue still felt that everything was a little unreal.
Tang Feng had actually given her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. It was such an enormous gift that she didn't know how to repay him.
Remembering how Tang Feng had looked that morning, as though floating among the immortals and lost in bliss, Qian Renxue thought she could consider the suggestion Xiao Feng had made that morning.
Hot water first, then ice...
At the thought, Qian Renxue's cheeks instantly turned red.
She moved close to Tang Feng's ear, the warm breath from her nose making him shiver.
Tang Feng was just about to ask Qian Renxue what she was doing.
Qian Renxue's face was slightly red, but she still spoke in a cool, aloof tone...
