Lin Yu and Qian Renxue's Bond, Qian Renxue: Hey! Little Brat, Were You Looking for Me?

In less than three months afterward, Lin Yu's Soul Power broke through once again, propelling him straight to level 20!

At this moment.

Waves of Soul Power energy swirled around Lin Yu's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the gathered Soul Power instantly dispersed.

He let out a long breath, a smile on his face. "Finally. I've broken through to level 20!"

"Congratulations, Xiao Yu. You'll soon be able to absorb your second soul ring and become a Soul Grandmaster," Qian Jun and Jiang Mo said with pleased expressions.

Dugu Bo sighed inwardly. A Soul Grandmaster before the age of eight... Tsk, tsk. This brat really is a monster.

"Lin Yu, you're truly amazing. In just three months, you broke through from level 18 to level 20. At this rate, your Soul Power will probably surpass mine in two or three years," Dugu Yan praised.

"Hehe, now that you've temporarily resolved the Poison Backlash, your cultivation speed will improve as well. With your talent, as long as you cultivate diligently, it definitely won't be so easy for me to catch up to you," Lin Yu said modestly with a smile.

After deciding to join Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan had withdrawn from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For the past three months, she had also cultivated at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every day.

Thus, Lin Yu and Dugu Yan had grown somewhat more familiar with each other.

After those three months, not only had Lin Yu's Soul Power broken through, but Dugu Bo had also successfully advanced from level 91 to level 92.

That day, the old fellow Dugu Bo had been so excited that he could not sleep all night.

As for Dugu Yan, she had also broken through again, advancing from level 26 to level 27.

Dugu Yan smiled sweetly. "Hehe~ You're just too modest."

At that moment, Qian Jun reminded him, "Xiao Yu! We've been out here for more than three months now. Since your Soul Power has also broken through to level 20, it's about time we headed back."

"That's right! It's been over three months. If Qian Renxue was going to show up, she should have come by now. In the end, she still didn't have the courage to abandon the infiltration plan?" Lin Yu sighed inwardly and decided to wait no longer. He replied, "Mm, then let's go back."

Lin Yu took all the mature immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and stored them in his Space Spirit Tool before leaving the area with everyone else.

On their way out of Sunset Forest, Lin Yu chatted with Dugu Yan.

"Dugu Yan, with your abilities, you'll definitely become a Core Disciple once you join Spirit Hall. If you have any problems or troubles in your daily life then, or if any other Core Disciples dare to bully you, come find me anytime. I'll handle it for you."

Lin Yu's words made Dugu Yan feel safe and warmed her heart. She smiled. "Hehe~ I, Dugu Yan, haven't fallen so low that I need a little brother six years younger than me to protect me."

"Don't worry. I'm not some girl who can be bullied so easily. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll poison them to death!"

Dugu Yan clenched her little fists. When she mentioned poison, the look in her eyes was truly fierce.

"Uh, hehe. This girl probably isn't someone to mess with when she gets ruthless either," Lin Yu muttered inwardly.

Very soon.

Lin Yu's group had reached the outskirts of Sunset Forest. They would be out in just a few minutes.

Along the way, Lin Yu would stop from time to time and scan his surroundings. Deep down, he had been hoping that Qian Renxue would appear.

Yet even after Lin Yu had completely left the bounds of Sunset Forest, Qian Renxue was nowhere to be seen.

He stopped for the last time.

Turning back, he looked at Sunset Forest some three hundred meters behind him, disappointment flooding his heart. "Qian Renxue! I was already prepared to face with you the pressure and difficulties you would face after abandoning the infiltration plan and returning, but you never came."

"That's right. With nothing but empty words, how could you truly believe that you could become the Angel God and dare to abandon the infiltration plan?"

"Hehe, perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything from this in the first place." Lin Yu gave a self-mocking smile and shook his head in disappointment. Just as he was about to turn and leave.

A crisp female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey!"

"Little brat, what are you looking at? Don't tell me you were looking for me?"

The moment he heard that voice, Lin Yu's body froze on the spot. His pores seemed to open in an instant, and as his emotions surged violently, his blood raced through his veins and set his whole body boiling.

Even though he had not heard that voice for more than a year!

Just one sentence!

And he knew who it was!

Lin Yu abruptly turned around and saw an incomparably beautiful figure standing on the road ahead, graceful and alluring, with a brilliant smile on her face.

"Hehehe, hahahahaha." Lin Yu laughed, laughing happily.

He immediately broke into motion and rushed toward Qian Renxue at once.

"Sister Xue'er!"

Seeing the boy rushing toward her, Qian Renxue's heart instantly settled, feeling at ease after such a long time.

Before seeing Lin Yu, after making this decision, she had always felt somewhat uneasy and restless.

She had kept wondering whether her decision was right.

Whether it would be the right choice.

But Lin Yu seemed to possess some strange magic. The instant she saw him, Qian Renxue immediately became convinced that she had made the right decision.

Looking at the boy now standing before her, Qian Renxue smiled and reached out, placing her palm on Lin Yu's head.

Then she slowly moved her hand down in front of herself and teased, "Oh? You've grown so fast. You've already reached my neck."

Lin Yu grabbed Qian Renxue's wrist and moved her hand away, saying irritably, "I'm at the age when I'm growing. How could I not grow quickly?"

Qian Renxue smiled, bent slightly at the waist, and leaned forward a little, looking Lin Yu straight in the eye. "Hehe, I saw from afar that you looked rather disappointed just now. What, did you think I wasn't coming back?"

At that moment, less than two fist-widths separated their faces. They were extremely close.

Lin Yu could even clearly smell the faint, delicate fragrance unique to a young maiden that wafted from Qian Renxue.

As a virgin, Lin Yu felt somewhat shy with such a beautiful girl's face so close to his. He turned his head slightly aside. "We agreed on one year. It's already been more than three months past that. Who knew whether you'd changed your mind?"

"I did hesitate and struggle, but my heart is resolute now. No matter what the future holds, Lin Yu, I will give it my all and cultivate toward godhood with you!"

Their eyes met. Warm sunlight fell across their faces as they stood side by side.

At that moment, it seemed as though a bond had formed between them.

In the distance, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo frowned deeply. "Why has Young Master appeared here in her original appearance? What is she trying to do?"

Their expressions immediately turned serious. They first said to Dugu Bo, "You and your granddaughter should set off for Spirit City first."

"Alright."

Dugu Bo nodded and, with great tact, pulled Dugu Yan away first.
