Where Did This Little Thing Come From?

"My soul ring?" Shi Yueyi tapped the fingers of her right hand, as if the crystal ball's explosion had hurt her a little.

Qian Renxue was briefly distracted, as though she had remembered something.

The little girl before her was an orphan. No one had likely taught her anything about soul beasts. Asking that question had only put her in an awkward position.

Qian Renxue gave a soft cough. "Ahem... well, Little Shiyue, if you trust Brother Xue, why not hear my suggestion?"

Shi Yueyi came back to herself as well and said, "Sure."

But how could Qian Renxue possibly know what kind of soul rings a Body Martial Soul should be matched with?

She only said that for now, intending to find a way to have Ghost Douluo come over during the soul hunt.

But Ghost Douluo was one of Bibi Dong's people.

At the thought of that woman still in the Pope's Palace, Qian Renxue could not help sighing inwardly.

What a headache.

"Still, I think I know what kind of soul ring I need." Shi Yueyi blinked.

"Hm? You know?" Qian Renxue looked at her.

"Mhm." Shi Yueyi nodded. "My mother's Martial Soul was her torso, so she studied quite a bit in this area. Body Martial Souls, like other Martial Souls, have attributes. They can also develop into different types of Soul Masters. For example, my mother's Martial Soul leaned toward strength or defense."

"Then what path do you think you want to take?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"Omnipotent." Shi Yueyi said it lightly.

"Omnipotent?" Qian Renxue frowned.

"My legs possess the speed and movement techniques of the Agility Attack Type. My torso and arms possess the power of the Strength Attack Type, the protection of the Defense Type, even the battlefield control of the Control Type. And my brain can provide support through Spiritual Power." Shi Yueyi spoke slowly. "My Body Martial Soul encompasses almost every part that other Body Martial Souls could possess, so I have the capital for it."

Quite the appetite.

Damn it, that was cool.

Qian Renxue thought to herself.

"Alright, I understand." She nodded approvingly.

Qian Renxue thought this was just like herself. Her Angel Martial Soul could also be considered an all-round type, a hexagonal warrior. That much was clear from the Angel Divine Skills her grandfather had introduced to her.

It was just that she had currently developed herself into a brutally offensive Soul Master, supplemented by certain spiritual soul skills.

For example, if there were too many enemies, she could simply use Angel's Roar and yell them all to death.

And then she had to hide her Angel Martial Soul, while this little one could leave hers out in the open for now.

"Get some rest and nurse your body back to health first. No matter what, you need to recover properly." Qian Renxue stood up and pointed at a bowl of medicinal soup on the tea table beside the bed. "I had a guard uncle brew this for you. Remember to drink it later."

"Thank you, Crown Prince." Shi Yueyi said sincerely.

"If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xue. That empty title of Crown Prince is only useful for intimidating disobedient outsiders." Qian Renxue smiled. "I won't disturb you any longer. Rest well."

With that, Qian Renxue temporarily left the room.

After she had gone, Shi Yueyi slowly opened her right hand. Thorn-like bone armor had already appeared across her palm, with faint sparks of lightning flickering over it.

The crystal ball's explosion had still affected her a little, but fortunately, she had stabilized it.

Would this Young Master notice the difference in her palm while helping her condition her body?

"This Young Master of Spirit Hall seems, for now, to be quite a genuine person. To win me over, she apparently doesn't mind revealing a small secret of her own, such as casually mentioning that she had killed quite a few people..." Shi Yueyi thought inwardly.

"So at the very least, she is generous enough to admit some of her own actions. Of course, that is built upon certain foundations."

In any case, since she had already decided to stay by her side, she would follow her for now.

She was curious about her, and having someone powerful to rely on was pretty good too.

"What's this?" As she thought, Shi Yueyi noticed something placed beneath the medicinal soup Qian Renxue had left her.

Shi Yueyi carefully took it out and found that the small booklet was titled "Universal Meditation Method."

"She just gives away cultivation manuals like that? How generous." Shi Yueyi remarked, then opened it.

Then she saw another five words.

"Super Advanced Version." Shi Yueyi looked at it curiously. "Why not give this a try? The cultivation foundation of this new body hasn't been determined yet... Maybe this thing is better than what I used in my previous life."

Qian Renxue arrived in another room, and then a figure appeared by her side.

"Young Master."

The newcomer was an elder of Spirit Hall, Stingray Douluo. He had followed Qian Renxue and accompanied her throughout her infiltration.

"Uncle Cixue." Qian Renxue nodded slightly in greeting. "I just made contact with that girl. She seems to be a truly exceptional prospect."

Stingray Douluo revealed a delighted expression. "You mean?"

Qian Renxue considered it. "Judging from her account of her past, she is an orphan whose family members died on the battlefield. Moreover, her Martial Soul seems similar to Elder Ghost's. At the same time, like me... she possesses power beyond Innate Full Soul Power."

Stingray Douluo naturally knew of Shi Yueyi. When Qian Renxue had gone to inspect the ruins of the Spirit Hall Branch, he had remained hidden nearby the entire time.

"Beyond Innate Full Soul Power? How is that possible?" Stingray Douluo thought his Young Master was quite humorous.

His Young Master could reach level twenty at birth because of her bloodline. There had truly been gods among her ancestors.

Could this little thing who knew where she had come from possess so many innate advantages?

Should I investigate her and see whether I can pick one up to be my granddaughter too?

"I would not be mistaken." Qian Renxue said seriously. "In fact, when I used the angel's power to condition her broken body, I sensed it. Her physical constitution is extremely high. Though her bone age is indeed only seven, her physique rivals that of a Strength Attack Type Soul Elder."

"In other words, if she is currently considered a level-ten Soul Master, then she should be able to fight a Strength Attack Type Soul Elder without using soul skills."

Qian Renxue had not noticed the External Soul Bone on Shi Yueyi's palm. Perhaps she simply believed that powerful Body Martial Soul had strengthened parts of her body.

She did not understand Body Martial Souls, so she did not jump to conclusions.

"Skipping two soul rings... isn't that a bit excessive?" Stingray Douluo muttered. "Ah, Young Master, I am not questioning your judgment. But if that is the case, wouldn't she be comparable to you when you were young?"

Qian Renxue smiled. "Exactly. Her talent is extremely high, extremely strong. Uncle Cixue, you know that not every Soul Master has their Martial Soul awakened with the help of Spirit Hall personnel. Special cases inevitably slip through the cracks."

Stingray Douluo nodded. "Then have you considered sending her back to Spirit Hall?"

"No, I want to keep her by my side." Qian Renxue shook her head. "You know Spirit Hall's current situation. That Golden Generation is flourishing under... the Pope's guidance. If I send her back directly, I worry she will be excluded."

Stingray Douluo said nothing further. He did not dare speak too much about the relationship between the Pope and the Young Master. It was better to play dumb.

"I want to raise someone powerful too, someone who can surpass them." Qian Renxue's tone was competitive. "And this little girl can keep me company while she's at it."

Stingray Douluo smiled helplessly. His Young Master... she was probably being suppressed too much by this mission. She was very good at acting, but if she acted too deeply, she would inevitably lose herself in the role and become that smiling Crown Prince in palace intrigues who devoured people without even spitting out their bones.

Having someone by her side was not a bad thing. After all, Pufferfish and Snake Lance were guards in the shadows and could not appear at her side whenever they wished. There was also a Poison Douluo in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. No matter what, they could not expose themselves too early—because they were the trump card meant to deal with that man in the future.

"Then, should we investigate this little girl's true background?" Stingray Douluo thought for a moment before suggesting, "Even without troubling Spirit Hall headquarters, as the Crown Prince, you can easily have the secret division handle it."

"There is no need." Qian Renxue shook her head. "I can tell she was speaking the truth. I can sense it from her eyes and emotional fluctuations. Besides, if I want her to truly stay by my side, I naturally need to show some trust."

Stingray Douluo nodded upon hearing that.

He had been overthinking it. After all, she was only a child. No matter what, she could hardly pose a threat to the Young Master's safety.

Alas, his daydream of having a granddaughter was gone.

"Understood. Then I shall take my leave." Stingray Douluo cupped his hands slightly.

"Mm, thank you for your hard work." Qian Renxue nodded.

After Stingray Douluo withdrew as well, Qian Renxue lightly tapped her fingers. "I wonder whether she found the cultivation manual I left for her... It is the highest-grade one among all the techniques our predecessors adapted from the divine art."

She wanted to become an all-round Soul Master, so this technique, which balanced every aspect, might truly be able to help her.

Gradually, Qian Renxue began to look forward to it. Just what would this little one grow into?
