Mom Said She Would Have a Baby

"Such power from the First Soul Skill?"

Shui Yuehua found it truly difficult not to be shocked. Lin Xiao's First Soul Skill was a group attack, and its power was already comparable to some people's Second Soul Skills.

Moreover, it had a second stage. After the group attack, it also possessed a control effect that could lock enemies within that area, leaving them unable to escape and able only to await death.

What was more, that fiercely burning, bewitchingly demonic Evil Fire, clinging like a bone-deep parasite, made all of Lin Xiao's Soul Skills extraordinarily troublesome to deal with. They were even nearly impossible to counter.

Under normal circumstances, Water Attribute Soul Masters possessed a restraining effect against Fire Attribute Soul Masters. Usually, when dealing with the effects of a Fire Attribute Soul Skill, one only needed to cover it with a Water Attribute Soul Skill to extinguish it.

But.

Lin Xiao's flames possessed the characteristics of Evil Fire.

They actually weren't afraid of water. They could even continue burning after being cut off from the air. This already violated common knowledge in the Soul Master World and left people completely helpless.

What Shui Yuehua didn't know, however, was that Lin Xiao's Evil Fire also possessed the ability to burn Soul Power. It could even absorb other people's attacks to fuel the flames. It was practically absurd.

Shui Yuehua clicked her tongue in wonder.

"Young man, your Evil Fire is absolutely an invincible weapon in battle. If I fought you at the same level, I truly couldn't think of any way to restrain you."

"It's just a pity. As powerful as Evil Fire is, it harms both others and its wielder."

Perhaps this was also the law of the Heavenly Dao.

Nothing in the world could be perfect. While possessing powerful killing abilities, Evil Fire also buried a hidden danger within its host, inflicting a thousand points of damage on the enemy while costing its owner eight hundred.

Therefore, Evil Fire couldn't become too powerful. Just like Ma Hongjun, one could only continuously vent the Evil Fire, keeping it in a weak state at all times.

That was also why, despite both being Evil Fire, Lin Xiao's Evil Fire was far stronger than Ma Hongjun's.

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Xiao's mind.

He had always held an idea: Evil Fire was like a Martial Soul and seemed capable of evolving as well. After evolving, the Evil Fire would surely bring him even greater surprises.

It was just...

Could he withstand the price?

Lin Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile and stopped thinking about it.

He looked toward Shui Yuehua and Shui Bing'er.

"Water Granny, you brought Bing'er here to look for an Ice Attribute Spirit Beast, right?"

Before Shui Yuehua could speak, Shui Bing'er answered first:

"Brother Lin Xiao, just call me Bing'er."

"That's right. We had already found a four-hundred-year-old Frost Ice Serpent, but that Fire Cauterizing Bird killed it and ate its gallbladder. It made me so angry!"

"We chased that Fire Cauterizing Bird all the way here."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.

In an environment like the Star Dou Great Forest, Ice Attribute Spirit Beasts were indeed rare. But as the largest primeval Spirit Beast forest, the Star Dou Great Forest certainly had Ice Attribute Spirit Beasts as well.

It was just that they preferred cold and secluded environments.

Under normal circumstances, they weren't easy to find.

Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Water Granny, what do you think of a Frost Ice Carp as Bing'er's First Soul Ring?"

"A Frost Ice Carp?"

Shui Yuehua knitted her brows. "That Spirit Beast is indeed suitable as Bing'er's First Soul Ring, but Frost Ice Carps usually live deep underwater. I had to chase that Fire Cauterizing Bird flying through the sky for quite some time. Wouldn't a fish swimming in the water be even harder to catch?"

Lin Xiao smiled.

"It's simple. We'll go fishing. Wouldn't we just need to fish it out?"

An astonished expression appeared on Shui Yuehua's face.

She even thought Lin Xiao was talking nonsense.

Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up instead, finding it very interesting.

"Okay!"

"Fishing sounds fun. Let's fish up a Frost Ice Carp!"

The main reason Frost Ice Carps were so difficult to capture was that the season was wrong.

It was currently the transition between summer and autumn.

There wasn't even any ice, so naturally the Frost Ice Carps wouldn't surface.

Otherwise, would they come out to bask in the sun for no reason?

If the environment was unsuitable, then they would alter the environment!

Thus, Lin Xiao began carrying out his plan.

"Hey! Kid, my Soul Power is almost completely drained. Why haven't we seen a Frost Ice Carp yet?"

Shui Yuehua cursed loudly.

The method Lin Xiao had proposed was actually to create an environment favored by Frost Ice Carps.

Then the Frost Ice Carps would swim over on their own.

He even grandly named it the "Waiting for the Hare" plan.

As a result, Shui Yuehua used her Soul Power to Ice Seal the surface of this section of the river, but she still didn't see even the slightest trace of a Frost Ice Carp.

She cursed inwardly.

If she listened to this kid and ended up gaining nothing, she would lose all face as a Soul Emperor.

Lin Xiao remained calm.

"Water Granny, you have to give them some time."

"What time?"

"Time to swim over, of course."

As fate would have it, Lin Xiao had learned to read at an early age and had begun trying to understand the world he lived in. Aside from interacting with the villagers every day,

the thing he did most was buy secondhand books.

Of course, he also picked up books that other people no longer wanted.

The books recorded that Frost Ice Carp Spirit Beasts were extremely sensitive to temperature. As water currents surged, they could clearly detect subtle changes and determine where the cold current came from.

Then, they would migrate as a group to the area where the cold current originated and live there.

Therefore, what Lin Xiao was having Shui Yuehua do now was artificially create a suitable environment, deceiving the Frost Ice Carps into migrating this way.

"Heave-ho!"

Lin Xiao looked toward Shui Bing'er, who was working hard to freeze a stone nearby. Without even realizing it himself, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Brother Lin Xiao! I succeeded!"

Shui Bing'er carried the stone, now frozen into a block of ice, and ran toward Lin Xiao.

Her sky-blue skirt hem swayed in the breeze.

A pure, innocent smile rippled across her lovely face.

It made people sigh involuntarily: Nothing in this world could be more beautiful than this.

Lin Xiao hurriedly took the ice block from Shui Bing'er's hands and reproached her lightly.

"Wrap it in something! Why were you holding it the whole time? Your hands are already red from the cold!"

Lin Xiao rubbed Shui Bing'er's hands.

They were very cold.

Shui Bing'er's face flushed slightly. In a voice as faint as a mosquito's, she said:

"Mom said that if a girl is touched by a boy, she'll have a baby."

"What did you say?"

Lin Xiao hadn't heard her clearly.

Shui Bing'er shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Brother Lin Xiao, Bing'er didn't say anything!"

Lin Xiao looked at Shui Bing'er somewhat helplessly.

He had been about to say that her mom was lying to her.

But after thinking about it, he figured Shui Bing'er's mom was probably afraid her precious daughter would encounter some delinquent and had used that to scare her. In the end, he didn't expose the lie.

Lin Xiao didn't want Shui Bing'er to be abducted by some delinquent either.

He grabbed Shui Bing'er's hand without a word.

Only after warming it for her did he let go.

He also paid no attention to the bashful redness on Shui Bing'er's face.

She was just a little girl. What could she possibly be thinking about?

Afterward, Lin Xiao threaded the frozen stone onto a rope.

Then he took out the fishing rod he had prepared long ago.

"Kid! The Frost Ice Carps really came!"

Shui Yuehua's slightly excited voice suddenly rang out. Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and saw, in the distance, a dense tide of Frost Ice Carp Spirit Beasts rushing this way...

"Bing'er, let's go fishing!"
