Dai Ernai, Did Your Hand Get Blessed? 2
Xifeng fell silent for a moment before saying, "But I just saw that woman take a horn from beside the Unicorn Tiger."
Since the horn on the corpse was still there, what was the horn she had taken?
The three exchanged glances, each seeing the shock—and greed—in the others' eyes.
Because they all understood that there was only one possibility: a Soul Bone!
This was something every Soul Master dreamed of obtaining.
Who among them did not want to claim it for themselves? Though one Soul Bone was not enough to divide among three people.
But even if they took a step back and offered it to their families, they would certainly receive unimaginable benefits.
Thus, the three of them raced back in the direction they had come from without needing to discuss it.
A Soul Bone was worth taking a risk for.
"Ernai—no, Second Sister—why are you dragging me along so fast? It's not like anyone's chasing us!"
Taishi Ming was almost out of breath after Dai Zhirou dragged him in a mad sprint.
Dai Zhirou shot him a glance. "How do you know no one is chasing us?"
"Hm?"
Taishi Ming looked utterly puzzled. Then he analyzed the situation. "That's impossible! Everyone in the royal city thinks I'm dead. How could anyone still be after me?"
At that point, Taishi Ming suddenly thought of the three people from earlier. "Could it be them? No, that can't be right! You killed the Unicorn Tiger, but if they wanted to attack, they would have done it already."
Dai Zhirou gave a soft laugh.
Still pulling Taishi Ming along, she suddenly changed directions, tracing out a V-shaped route. That made it far less likely for anyone to find them!
Only half an hour later did she finally stop.
At the same time, she grabbed Taishi Ming and leaped onto the branch of a large tree.
She took the horn from her sleeve and held it out before Taishi Ming. "Because of this!"
"This is..."
Taishi Ming looked astonished and confused. But upon closer inspection, he realized that this horn looked exactly like the one on the Unicorn Tiger's head!
Shock instantly appeared on Taishi Ming's face. "This is a Soul Bone!"
Dai Zhirou nodded. "That's right. I never expected that the moment we entered the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, killing a ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger would earn us a Soul Bone that Soul Masters dream of. Our luck is truly incredible!"
Taishi Ming smacked his lips and took quite a while to recover. He could not help touching Dai Zhirou's hand. "Holy crap, was this hand of yours blessed or something? This isn't luck! This is like stepping in dog crap!"
She did not understand what blessed meant, nor did she really understand what stepping in dog crap meant. But anything involving crap definitely was not something nice.
She could not help smacking Taishi Ming. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Then she placed the Soul Bone in Taishi Ming's hand. "Although this Soul Bone is not very suitable for a Food-type Soul Master like you, with it, you should gain a decent offensive soul skill. When it matters most, it could save your life."
"You're giving it to me? Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
Taishi Ming looked utterly stunned. This was a Soul Bone—something so precious that not even everyone at the level of a Titled Douluo possessed one.
To be honest, Taishi Ming was tempted as he looked at the Soul Bone in his hand.
After all, he still did not have a single offensive soul skill.
But it was simply too precious.
Dai Zhirou said, "What's inappropriate about it? Compared to what you and Snake Princess have done for me, what does one Soul Bone amount to?"
Taishi Ming looked at the Soul Bone in his hand, but in the end, he could not resist its temptation.
He smiled. "All right, then I'll shamelessly accept it. At worst, I'll give myself to you in return."
At the same time, he made a decision in his heart: he would definitely help Dai Zhirou take control of her own fate and never have to enter some political marriage again.
Dai Zhirou rolled her eyes at Taishi Ming. "Giving yourself to me? Are you repaying me, or taking advantage of me?"
Taishi Ming chuckled. "Heh heh!"
"Quit laughing like an idiot. Hurry up and refine it! I'll stand guard for you."
Taishi Ming stopped being coy. After sitting down, he began refining the unusual horn with his Soul Power.
This Soul Bone was, after all, at the ten-thousand-year level. Taishi Ming was only level twenty now, and he had not even obtained his second soul ring yet.
Refining it was no easy task. It took him a full hour before he finally succeeded.
The moment Taishi Ming opened his eyes, Dai Zhirou, who had been watching him closely the entire time, immediately asked with concern, "How did it go?"
Taishi Ming looked thrilled. "It's an amazing soul skill!"
Hearing that, a smile could not help appearing on Dai Zhirou's face. "That's wonderful!"
Taishi Ming hesitated for a moment, then raised his left hand. A longsword appeared in it.
"This..."
Dai Zhirou stared at the longsword in Taishi Ming's hand and temporarily lost the ability to speak.
Taishi Ming said, "This is my second martial soul, the Seven Sha Sword."
"A second martial soul?!"
Although she had already guessed it the instant she saw the sword, she still found it hard to believe.
It was simply too shocking.
Taishi Ming said, "You're the first person to know besides my wife, Snake Princess."
Dai Zhirou asked, "Since you had kept it hidden, why tell me?"
Taishi Ming thought for a moment, then answered with a serious expression, "I trust you."
He truly meant it.
If he had held any reservations before, then after Dai Zhirou gave him such an incomparably precious Soul Bone without even blinking—
He trusted her completely.
Of course, there was another reason. They would be spending quite some time together from now on.
During that time, he would certainly need to hunt soul rings for his second martial soul, the Seven Sha Sword. When that time came, he could not trust others, so he could only ask Dai Zhirou to go with him.
So it was better to tell her early rather than late. That way, there would no longer be any secrets between them, and their relationship would grow even closer.
Their trust was without reservation.
Dai Zhirou was touched as well. After all, this secret was far too significant.
With a wave of Taishi Ming's hand, the Seven Sha Sword immediately shot toward another large tree ten meters away.
Whoosh!
It was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the thick trunk, which would have taken four people linking arms to encircle. Then it curved around behind the tree and returned to Taishi Ming's hand.
Looking at the hole in the trunk, Dai Zhirou could not help exclaiming, "What terrifying piercing power! This soul skill must have inherited the Unicorn Tiger horn's trait of breaking through all kinds of defenses, right?"
Taishi Ming nodded. "As expected of Second Sister—you guessed it in one try!"
Dai Zhirou laughed softly. "Stop flattering me!"
Taishi Ming swept his gaze over Dai Zhirou's shapely rear and gave a wicked smile. "I'd like to do some patting, but I'm afraid Second Sister wouldn't allow it!"
Dai Zhirou blushed. "You little pervert. You already have a wife, yet you're still teasing your big sister. Be careful not to make me angry, or I'll keep you by my side and make sure you never see Snake Princess again."
Taishi Ming said, "Don't do that! You two can get along peacefully!"
"Peacefully, my head!"
Dai Zhirou raised her hand to smack Taishi Ming again, but this time he dodged and leaped down from the tree.
Then he said, "All right, enough joking around. Actually, this soul skill has two ways of being used. That was only one of them! Now I'll show you the second."
