"Bone Spirit Cold Fire?"

Jiang Qianhai's expression was incredibly colorful. Back then, when he had obtained the Dou Qi Seed and Flame Mantra from the Newbie Benefit, he had never imagined that obtaining these Heavenly Flames would be so difficult.

He actually had to fish something up first.

That was quite a challenge for a Fisherman who had already left the newbie-benefit period behind.

"Let's look at my information."

After giving the new clothes to Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Qianhai checked his information.

Ultimate Fisherman System Fellow Angler: Jiang Qianhai Gender: Male Age: Six Power System: Battle Qi (Main Cultivation), Soul Power Power Level: Dou Master Five Stars, Level 1 Soul Scholar. Experience Points: 100 Cultivation Method: "Flame Mantra" (Yellow Rank Low-Level) (2 Experience Points/Minute) Techniques: Exploding Step (Profound Middle-Rank), Eight Extremities Collapse (Profound High-Rank) Items: Soul Beast Repellent (Remaining Countdown: One Year), Bone Spirit Cold Fire (Can Be Consumed)

"Can be consumed? Do I have to do it like Xiao Huohuo?"

Hmph! How could a Fisherman's time be wasted on miscellaneous tasks? Naturally, he would use One-Click Consume.

Hearing this, delight flashed through Jiang Qianhai's eyes. This was perfect!

He immediately clicked on consume.

Plop~

The instant he clicked it, Jiang Qianhai collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness. Only then did the system's notification arrive belatedly.

Note: One-Click Consume only saves time. Everything else will be compressed into a single instant.

Inside the bathroom, Zhu Zhuqing simply washed herself, but her mood remained low. After changing her clothes and walking out, she saw Jiang Qianhai lying on the floor with an utterly peaceful expression, and her heart jolted.

She hurriedly checked the condition of her Savior.

"Thank goodness, he's only unconscious." Zhu Zhuqing had just breathed a sigh of relief when she added, "But why did he suddenly pass out for no reason?"

Unable to figure it out, Zhu Zhuqing could only carry Jiang Qianhai to the sofa and cover him with a blanket.

Then she sat down beside him.

She began thinking about whether she should stay or leave. If she went back like this, her Sister would definitely attack her again and target her everywhere.

But if she didn't go back, where could she go?

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and set the question aside for now. Only then did she carefully observe Jiang Qianhai's home.

Bright and Clean, moderately furnished, and probably a Well-off Family's home.

Next, she observed her Savior.

He looks about the same age as me, and he's rather cute. Also... very peaceful.

Zhu Zhuqing did not know how she had reached that conclusion, but he really did look peaceful, as if he had already passed away.

At her age, that was about all she could make out.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Qianhai's eyelid twitch.

Is he about to wake up?

"Hiss~" Jiang Qianhai rubbed his head. "That felt amazing."

If not for the system, never mind waking up this quickly—whether he could have stayed alive was uncertain.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Qianhai immediately checked his information.

There were two changes.

Power Level: Great Dou Master Three Stars, Level 1 Soul Scholar.

Cultivation Method: Flame Mantra (Profound High-Rank) (30 Experience Points/Minute)

He had jumped directly from Dou Master Five Stars to Great Dou Master Three Stars, while the Flame Mantra had risen from Yellow Rank Low-Level to Profound High-Rank. As expected of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Jiang Qianhai's strength required Experience Points to improve. During the Dou Qi stage, reaching Dou Qi First Stage from zero required 10 Experience Points, the second stage required 20, and the third required 30, increasing cumulatively.

Upon reaching Dou Zhe, the requirements multiplied tenfold, becoming 100, 200, 300...

For Dou Master, they multiplied tenfold again: 1,000, 2,000, 3,000...

Now that Jiang Qianhai was a Great Dou Master Three Stars, reaching Great Dou Master Four Stars required 40,000 Experience Points. With the Profound-Rank Flame Mantra's accumulation rate of 30 Experience Points per minute, it would take a little over twenty-two hours.

With the previous Yellow Rank Low-Level version, reaching Great Dou Master Four Stars would have required fishing continuously for more than 333 hours.

The difference was obvious.

After breaking through to Great Dou Master, Jiang Qianhai could feel that the power within his body had undergone a world-shaking transformation. He could even instinctively achieve Battle Qi Transformation Armor.

Although he was only a Great Dou Master now, in the Remote Area of Dou Po, even a Great Dou Master could become a Small Family Patriarch. As for his current strength on the Douluo Continent, that remained uncertain.

But one thing was certain: he would not be weaker than a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

A six-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!

And that was putting it mildly.

When Zhu Zhuqing saw that Jiang Qianhai still had not reacted, she couldn't help waving a hand before his eyes.

"Are you all right?"

Only then did Jiang Qianhai close the Information Panel and smile apologetically.

"Sorry to worry you. I'm fine. I only had a slight breakthrough in my level just now."

"A breakthrough?" Zhu Zhuqing blinked in confusion. "What level are you now?"

"Level 1."

The corner of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched. Even when she had just awakened, she had possessed more Soul Power than that.

"Do you think I'm lying?" Jiang Qianhai leaned forward. "I'm really a Level 1 Soul Scholar, but I'm very strong."

Zhu Zhuqing did not say anything, but it was obvious that she didn't believe him.

"Forget it. That isn't important." Jiang Qianhai had no intention of demonstrating anything. "What are you planning to do next?"

A Troubled Expression appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

"You don't know? Then why don't you stay here for now and decide after you've figured things out?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Jiang Qianhai and pursed her lips. "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" Jiang Qianhai waved his hand. "I still haven't asked how you ended up drowning. Can you tell me about it?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. Since it involved a Royal Dispute, it would be better not to reveal it. She could only say:

"I'm tired."

"That's my bedroom over there." Jiang Qianhai pointed toward a room. "If you don't mind, you can sleep there."

Zhu Zhuqing murmured her thanks before walking toward Jiang Qianhai's room.

When she opened the door, the tidy room immediately came into view.

Is this a boy's room?

Curiosity flickered in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She had thought all boys' rooms would be very messy, but this place was actually even tidier than her own bedroom.

Especially...

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the tofu-block-shaped Folded Quilt on the bed, and amazement flashed through her eyes.

She almost couldn't bear to mess up the quilt.

Thus, she simply lay down on the bed without covering herself.

Gradually, feeling cold, Zhu Zhuqing curled up.

At that moment, the door opened. In her daze, Zhu Zhuqing felt something being placed over her. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the departing figure before falling asleep again.

It was not until evening that Zhu Zhuqing was awakened. After meeting Jiang Qianhai's Parents and feeling their welcome and warmth, the Sense of Vigilance she had felt upon arriving in an unfamiliar place slowly faded.

That night, Zhu Zhuqing was assigned Jiang Qianhai's room, while Jiang Qianhai chose to sleep on the floor.

Lying in the Warm Bedding, Zhu Zhuqing looked somewhat awkward. "Um, your room is really clean."

Not knowing how to start a conversation, she came up with a Clumsy Conversation Starter.

"This?" Jiang Qianhai sat up. "I have a tiny bit of Germophobia, so I keep things relatively clean."

"Do you think my quilt-folding is beautiful? Want to learn?"

Jiang Qianhai saw how uneasy Zhu Zhuqing was, so he smoothly took over the conversation and quickly helped her relax.

......

It grew late, and Zhu Zhuqing began to feel sleepy. She couldn't help letting out a huge yawn.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep." Seeing this, Jiang Qianhai ended the conversation at the right time and lay down.

After becoming Extremely Conflicted, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and spoke with a flushed face.

"Why don't you come up and sleep?"
