The Gift of a Bracelet, Fishing to Temper the Heart
With accommodation sorted out, the next step was to solve the food problem.
Looking at the fishing rod placed next to the house-building tools, Su He smiled.
Look, there are plenty of tools right in front of us.
Su He picked up her fishing rod and started fishing, thinking that fishing and grilling while enjoying the beautiful scenery would be a wonderful thing. However, Su He soon discovered that things were not like that.
Su He sat for a full half hour, but still gained nothing.
Enraged, he snapped the fishing rod in front of him and threw it aside. His face was full of violence as he jumped into the lake, grabbed two fish, and crushed them to death with his bare hands.
Su He was unaware that two people were observing his every move from a distance.
It was none other than Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qian Renxue.
Su He was in a Soul Hunting Forest belonging to the Spirit Hall, located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, not far from Heaven Dou City. This allowed Qian Renxue to take the time to visit her lover whom she hadn't seen for two years.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed and said.
"This change wasn't his wish. After spending two years in the Slaughter City, a place more terrifying than hell, it's already quite remarkable that he managed to remain rational."
"I know, Second Grandfather." Qian Renxue nodded and closed her beautiful purple eyes.
"I originally wanted to see He'er, but it seems the time isn't right yet."
"Not bad," Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded and said.
"Xiao He's trial in the Slaughter City will only be truly complete when he masters his killing intent. Until then, Xiao Xue shouldn't go. I believe Xiao He wouldn't want to face you like this either."
Qian Renxue nodded, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Su He.
Having not seen him for two years, she knew very well that the trials Su He had undergone in the Slaughter City must have been extremely terrifying, enough to have tormented even someone as virtuous as him into this state.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt a pang of heartache.
Spreading her beautiful angel wings, Qian Renxue swept across the forest from the sky.
She couldn't resist showing herself.
With the help of the Golden Eyes of Disillusionment, Su He naturally spotted Qian Renxue passing through the air, and their eyes met and stuck together like glue.
Qian Renxue looked at Su He from the air, but did not fly down to find him.
Su He on the ground looked at the Little Angel in the sky, suppressing her longing and not opening her Radiant Crystal Wings.
The time is not yet ripe.
Just as Su He was forcing herself to look away, Qian Renxue suddenly dropped something from the sky. Enveloped in Angel Soul Power, it slowly landed in Su He's palm, then sped away from the forest and landed next to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Su He didn't see that, in the instant she turned to leave, a single tear also clung to the corner of Qian Renxue's eye.
She was truly heartbroken! At the same time, she was afraid that if she looked at it a few more times, she wouldn't be able to bear leaving.
Qian Renxue and Su He have no way out; they must become stronger.
Not only because of the divine position, but also because of the responsibility of being the successor of the Worship Hall.
Su He was unwilling to hand over the Spirit Hall to that madwoman Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue was unwilling, and the elders were absolutely against it.
Su He clearly saw what Qian Renxue had left behind: a golden Crystal Bracelet composed of sixteen perfectly round crystals.
These crystals were all handcrafted by Qian Renxue, using only the finest materials from the Douluo Continent.
The crystal's hardness was extraordinary; Qian Renxue even wasted some of her cultivation time in making it.
Currently, her Soul Power is only at level 75, and the Angel God Trial has already progressed to the Second Trial.
The Second Trial requires her to completely subdue the Heaven Dou Empire within three years and become its emperor.
To translate: Kill Xue Ye and seize the throne.
Su He fiddled with the bracelet in her hand, feeling Qian Renxue's deep affection for her.
Qian Renxue sealed some of the purifying power of angels within this bracelet and gave it to Su He. This angelic power can purify some of the impure killing intent within Su He's body and will play a significant role.
She even went so far as to ask the woman she didn't want to see about this, but the woman just impatiently chased her away without offering any concrete solutions.
He simply told her coldly, "Why would Angel Clan worry about such things?"
In fact, it was a subtle hint that the solution was in Qian Renxue's own hands.
Su He put on the bracelet, a warm and pure power filled his heart.
The judgmental power of the Angel Soul Power was thoughtfully removed by Qian Renxue, leaving only a gentle Purification Power.
Su He's body showed no resistance to the Angel Soul Power; he and Qian Renxue had cultivated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill together for a long time.
Carefully repairing the fishing rod that he had just broken, Su He tried to calm himself down and continue fishing.
Even though three hours of meditation yielded no results, Su He did not give up and remained seated for a whole day.
A murderous aura surged within Su He, making her mind violent. However, as soon as her gaze fell upon the Crystal Bracelet on her left wrist, her mind would return to peace.
Su He didn't want to disappoint Qian Renxue.
That's just murderous intent; we can control it.
For the first two days, Su He's fishing rod caught nothing, so he had to go into the lake himself to catch a few fish to grill and eat. It wasn't until the third day that Su He's fishing rod made its first move.
Fishing is a very simple thing. Even an ordinary person in the Douluo Continent can catch dozens of fish a day with a fishing rod equipped with high-grade bait.
But Su He couldn't do it.
The murderous aura emanating from him was so overwhelming that even the bait avoided him, which is why he caught nothing.
The fact that the fishing rod moved indicated that Su He had improved her ability to control her murderous intent considerably compared to before.
But just as Su He raised her hand to pull the fish up, the fish seemed to sense the killing intent Su He was releasing and, in fear, immediately broke free from the hook and flew away.
This made Su He so angry that she slapped her thigh.
However, whenever Su He's mood was unstable, the Crystal Bracelet on his left hand could release gentle Angel Soul Power to soothe his emotions.
Su He enjoyed this feeling. Even though he was banished to this desolate wilderness by Golden Crocodile Douluo to temper his character, his Xue'er was still by his side.
And that was indeed the case. Qian Renxue would sneak over about once a week, barely suppressing her urge to glance at Su He fishing before secretly leaving.
Three months later, whether the fish were too unintelligent or something else, Su He caught his first fish.
Six months later, Su He could catch enough fish in a day to satisfy his food needs, which meant he no longer needed to go into the water to catch fish.
From this point onward, Su He continued his cultivation of Soul Power, fishing and meditating at the same time, which was a way of doing both.
A year later, Su He's Soul Power reached level sixty, officially becoming a Quasi Soul Emperor!
Although Qian Renxue and Su He did not have any face-to-face communication during this year, they secretly met countless times.
It was precisely because she could feel Qian Renxue's companionship that Su He was able to control her killing intent so smoothly.
The significance of Golden Crocodile Douluo giving Su He the fishing rod was not so that he could fish and eat, but rather to let Su He experience the feeling of being one with nature, which also had a great effect on calming his mind.
Seeing that Su He had achieved her goal, Golden Crocodile Douluo reappeared beside Su He.
He had been secretly observing Su He's every move.
