That business with the Spirit Master Subsidy-starting today, it's settled!

After a few more tender moments, Lin Hai dressed himself and returned to the Saint Son Hall.

Along the way, they happened to meet Bo Saixi, who was walking alone under the moonlight.

Upon seeing the other person approaching from afar, Lin Hai subconsciously raised his sleeve and sniffed it.

Hmm... it's alright, there's only a faint milky scent and the delicate fragrance of flower petals.

Bo Saixi didn't think much of Lin Hai's sudden action. She walked straight up to him and asked with a complicated expression:

"You really discovered the health benefits of Whale Rubber?"

Bo Saixi's impression of Lin Hai these days is that he speaks incoherently, either holding back or not telling the truth!

Therefore, when she learned about this from Qian Daoliu, she really felt a bit conflicted.

It was as if she, Bo Saixi, had betrayed a conman's fleeting sincerity, cutting off his path to self-redemption...

Lin Hai was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! I've told so many lies in my life, and when I finally tell the truth, you still won't believe me!"

Bo Saixi hesitated, then finally let out a soft sigh.

Then, a brief silence fell, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze echoing in the night.

Their long silver hair swayed gently in the night breeze, creating a remarkably harmonious and natural scene.

Just as Lin Hai was about to say goodbye, Bo Saixi suddenly asked, "So, what you said about liking me before was also a lie?"

Without thinking, Lin Hai blurted out, "More real than real gold!"

Then it dawned on him, and he scratched his head in confusion. "Um... did I say that?"

A faint smile appeared on Bo Saixi's exquisite face as she gently shook her head and said, "No."

After saying that, she couldn't help but chuckle, waved her hand, and said, "I'm leaving!"

As she passed Lin Hai, the words Qian Daoliu had said to her earlier flashed through her mind—

"Our destiny is to give our Life for the inheritors of God."

"On this point, I'm barely able to protect myself and can't help you much, and Tang Chen is equally powerless!"

"But Lin Hai is different. With him, you might be able to break free from this predetermined Destiny and live a good life."

"I've lived for over a hundred years, and even my granddaughter is of marriageable age. To be honest, I've lived enough."

"But you are different. Besides responsibility and mission, you have so much of life experience yet to come!"

"If you don't like Lin Hai, then I have nothing to say. If you do like him, then don't worry about anything else."

People change, the moon waxes and wanes.

"No one has ever stipulated that a relationship must last a lifetime."

"Tang Chen is a proud person, and I believe he wouldn't want to use this to bind or restrict you."

Lin Hai watched Bo Saixi's retreating figure, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

'Having high Soul Power is really amazing!'

'My approachable nature only serves to reduce her hostility in her presence.'

It was late at night when we returned to the Saint Son Hall.

Lin Hai waited anxiously in Bibi Dong's room until late into the night, but the beauty never returned, so he had no choice but to return to the side hall in disappointment.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that Hu Liena had already woken up and was slowly getting dressed.

When she saw Lin Hai return, she was slightly taken aback, then smiled sweetly, and took off the clothes she had just put on, layer by layer, and crawled back into the still warm bed.

Having longed for this for eight whole years, the passion Hu Liena was able to unleash at this moment was truly beyond what an ordinary young woman could achieve...

Faced with this silent invitation, Lin Hai smiled knowingly and calmly followed him inside.

It wasn't until dawn that Hu Liena reluctantly pulled herself out, stretching lazily and revealing her curves.

"Little Hai, what level is your Soul Power now? Before you left, you said you'd give me a big surprise if my Soul Power didn't fall behind yours!"

The Little Fox blinked slyly, its eyes sparkling with anticipation, then paused and added:

"No... there's also a 'one-of-a-kind treasure,' so there should be two gifts in total!" As she spoke, she held up two fingers and made a scissor gesture.

Lin Hai smiled slightly and reached out to pinch the tip of her nose:

"You won. My Soul Power has just reached level 80."

Hu Liena's Soul Power has reached level 74, making her the only Soul Saint among all participants in this Spirit Master Competition.

This is the benefit of absorbing Soul Ring that are level up quickly.

They had to cultivate their Soul Power to level ten to attach Soul Ring, while most people needed level nine, but these girls only needed level eight!

Immediately, Lin Hai's expression became somewhat awkward.

His original plan was to find a suitable opportunity to give the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Bibi Dong, helping her to realize her own feelings.

As for Hu Liena, he prepared Aromatic Silk Beauty.

However, these arrangements now seem to have lost their meaning...

Bibi Dong has clearly developed feelings for him; all that's missing is a battle to give her a way out.

Hu Liena, too, already possessed the potential to become a god.

Giving away the Immortal Herb now would seem a bit wasteful...

Moreover, he needs to leave behind a plant to help Bo Saixi improve his talent!

"Hmm..." Lin Hai pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Nana, you haven't absorbed any Spirit Bone yet, have you?"

"No, didn't you specifically tell me to wait until I reached the Titled Douluo level before talking about Spirit Bone?" Hu Liena pouted and muttered unhappily.

"You're not thinking of giving me Spirit Bone, are you? That's such a perfunctory offer!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's lips twitched slightly, and he retorted:

"You people have really become picky eaters. And that brat Yan, he couldn't even muster any interest in Spirit Bone over 30,000 years old, not even a smile."

Seeing that Lin Hai had misunderstood, Hu Liena quickly explained, "Oh dear, that's not how it is!"

"While Spirit Bone are precious, they're certainly not unique, nor are they a huge surprise! This has nothing to do with the value of Spirit Bone!"

Hu Liena would prefer Lin Hai to give her a small, handmade gift.

Just like that sachet containing strands of their hair back then, though simple, it carries the most sincere emotions and the most unique meaning.

This reflects the recipient's sincere expectation.

However, as the person giving the gift, Lin Hai had to consider its actual value and could not simply dismiss it as a "small gift with great sentiment".

He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and summoned the Illusionary Thought Bell, which shimmered with silver light, and solemnly handed it to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena curiously took the delicate silver bell and gently shook it. She immediately felt a slight dizziness and widened her beautiful eyes in surprise. "What is this?!"

"My Martial Soul is special; my Soul Ring are all materialized, as you know," Lin Hai explained with a smile. "This is my second Soul Ring, the Illusionary Thought Bell."

"Once you refine it, you can use it as your natal weapon."

"Not only can it defend against mental attacks, but it can also construct realistic Illusion Realm and peer into other people's memories."
