Returning Home, Innate Warm Man Sacred Body

"Little Qi Lin, you weren't lying to your sister, were you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sisi walked over to Qi Lin and patted his head.

"We didn't get a good soul ring this time, so we can come again next time. Lying is wrong, you know."

It wasn't that Sisi refused to believe Qi Lin. It was mainly because a first soul ring possessing four soul skills was simply too fantastical.

Probably no one in the history of the Douluo Continent had ever possessed four soul skills from their first soul ring.

Beside them, Su Yuntao listened to Sisi's gentle tone and suddenly felt a pang of bitterness.

Sisi, I've never seen you be this gentle with me.

After hearing Sisi's words, Qi Lin still felt warmth in his heart.

So Qi Lin said, "Sister Sisi, I might lie to anyone, but I'd never lie to you!"

"If you don't believe me, I'll release my soul skills right now and show you!"

With that, Qi Lin spread open his hand, and a Four-Leaf Clover emerged from his palm.

Compared to before he absorbed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's soul ring, the Four-Leaf Clover had grown slightly larger. Its greatest change, however, was the Golden Patterns on its four leaves. They gleamed brilliantly, radiating a faint golden halo.

"Gift of Destiny: Strength!"

"Gift of Destiny: Speed!"

"Gift of Destiny: Defense!"

"Gift of Destiny: Spirit!"

As Qi Lin chanted four times in succession, the luminous white soul ring above his head flashed four times as well.

Then, four streams of pale golden light flowed into Sisi's body.

With a grin, Qi Lin offered a friendly suggestion. "Sister Sisi, you can try sparring with Brother Tao now."

After hearing Qi Lin's suggestion and feeling the power surging from within her body, Sisi could not help shifting her gaze toward Su Yuntao.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao immediately waved his hands and hurriedly said, "Sisi, how can we do that? How could I bear to lay a hand on you?"

His martial soul was Lone Wolf, while Sisi's martial soul was the ordinary Green Vine. In terms of attack power, he was clearly superior.

Not to mention that his Soul Power Level was higher as well.

It was obvious who was stronger between them, so what was there to compare?

What if he accidentally hurt Sisi?

Although Sisi had Qi Lin's soul skill enhancement, how much of a boost could a mere one-ring soul master provide to a two-ring Soul Grandmaster like her?

However, Sisi, who could feel the sudden surge of energy within her body, had no intention of wasting such a good opportunity.

She shot Su Yuntao a glare.

"If I tell you to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Uh..."

Seeing this, Su Yuntao cast Qi Lin a resentful glance.

It's all because of you, you brat. You've stolen Sisi's affection from me!

"Fine, then!"

"Sisi, don't worry. I'll go easy on you."

"Who asked you to go easy on me?" Sisi frowned, feeling terrifyingly powerful at that moment.

A battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Sisi's martial soul was Green Vine, and her physique could not compare to Su Yuntao's Lone Wolf martial soul. In theory, she should have specialized in attrition and control.

Yet this time, she chose to fight Su Yuntao at close range.

In the past, she might not even have lasted long before losing.

But this time, she was able to fight Su Yuntao evenly for a short while.

As time passed, even Su Yuntao himself was shocked.

Sisi's strength, speed, defense, and soul power had all increased considerably. A boost to any single attribute might not have meant much, but when all four attributes combined, even he found her extremely difficult to handle.

Most importantly, the effects lasted damn long!

"Enough, enough!"

Seven or eight minutes later, Su Yuntao retreated several steps, shouting as he did so.

Sisi stopped as well. After all, she only wanted to test Qi Lin's soul skills, not truly defeat Su Yuntao.

After recovering, both Sisi and Su Yuntao completely believed Qi Lin's words.

"Little Qi Lin, what soul beast did your first soul ring come from? These soul skills are just too heaven-defying." Sisi sighed.

The most important thing was that the enhancement was substantial and lasted so long. She just did not know whether there were any side effects.

Su Yuntao agreed. "Yeah. Even the soul skills of a thousand-year soul ring probably aren't as outrageous as yours."

"Little Qi Lin, you really hit the jackpot this time!"

"Right, what level are you now?"

Qi Lin smiled. "My first soul ring came from an ice silkworm, and I'm already level thirteen."

(Tang San was level thirteen in the original because he had cultivated for another two or three months. Also, the protagonist's first soul ring is currently only a little over eight hundred years old.)

"Gasp—"

Su Yuntao drew in a sharp breath. Could absorbing the soul ring of a ten-year soul beast raise someone three levels in a row?

For a moment, he could not tell whether the ten-year soul beast Qi Lin had absorbed was special, or whether Qi Lin himself was special.

Sisi, however, noticed the issue.

"An ice silkworm?"

"Could it be related to the ice silkworm that appeared earlier?"

Qi Lin nodded.

Sisi did not ask any further questions after hearing that, because she knew very well that continuing would most likely involve personal privacy.

Still, she was sincerely happy for Qi Lin that he had received such a fortuitous opportunity.

"Alright, since Little Qi Lin has obtained his first soul ring, we should head back."

After Sisi spoke, Su Yuntao nodded as well.

The three of them then headed toward the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest.

On the way back, they encountered a hundred-year Jade Horned Ox.

Seeing that its horns looked like jade, Qi Lin asked Sisi and Su Yuntao to help him cut off both horns.

"The horns of a hundred-year Jade Horned Ox are valuable. They could fetch quite a bit of money if made into ornaments," Su Yuntao assessed.

Qi Lin held the two severed jade ox horns in his hands and tapped them before saying:

"I like making handicrafts when I'm bored. I want to make these two jade ox horns into two horn combs, one for Sister Sisi and one for Xiao Wu."

At those words, Sisi could not hide the delight on her face. Happily, she reached out and pinched Qi Lin's cheek.

"Your sister hasn't spoiled you for nothing all this time!"

Su Yuntao took in the entire scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Could Little Qi Lin be born with the Innate Warm Man Sacred Body?

He's far too good at winning girls over. Good thing he's young, or Sisi probably wouldn't leave any for me.

On the way back, Qi Lin found another piece of emerald-green jade in the Soul Hunting Forest. He planned to have it made into a bracelet for his mother.

As for his father?

Qi Lin thought about it all the way but could not figure out what to give him. In the end, he bought him a piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber from a market outside the Soul Hunting Forest.

Its true effects had yet to be discovered. People only used it as an aphrodisiac.

Qi Lin had nothing else to give Qi Tian, so he could only offer him the Whale Rubber.

After returning home, although Qi Tian and his wife were disappointed that their son had only absorbed a "ten-year" soul ring, they understood that Su Yuntao and Sisi were not to blame.

Moreover, the two had said that although Qi Lin's soul ring was only a ten-year soul ring, the effects of its soul skills were much better than those of ordinary thousand-year soul rings. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Still, Su Yuntao and Sisi felt somewhat guilty, so they offered to take Xiao Wu to the Soul Hunting Forest as well.

And what happened?

It had only been a few days, yet Xiao Wu had already absorbed a soul ring.

And it was a hundred-year soul ring!

Once they asked, they learned that while she had gone out to play, she had encountered a hundred-year Soft Bone Rabbit being hunted by a natural enemy.

Moreover, the Soft Bone Rabbit had already been on its last breath when it encountered her.

So she delivered the finishing blow and successfully obtained a hundred-year soul ring.

It was an incredibly bizarre experience.

Of course, compared to Qi Lin's absurd experiences over the years, it was still a little less extraordinary.

Thus, not only did Qi Tian and his wife find nothing strange about it, even Su Yuntao and Sisi merely thought that Xiao Wu was lucky.
