Immune to All Evils, Water, and Fire—The Miraculous Changes to Lin Du's Left Arm Spirit Bone!
Under Qian Renxue's delighted gaze,
the red-and-white spring water suddenly exploded,
and a figure, slightly pale beneath the moonlight, appeared before the three of them.
Who else could it have been but Lin Du?
"Lin Du!"
Qian Renxue could barely contain her excitement.
In an instant, she completed her Martial Soul Possession.
As the six snow-white wings on her back fluttered,
she shot toward Lin Du.
"Angel Douluo,"
"if I'm not mistaken,"
"that brat's clothes seem to have been corroded by the spring water."
"If you let your granddaughter get that close to him..."
As someone who also had a granddaughter,
Dugu Bo could not help turning to remind Qian Daoliu.
"Du'er is the grandson-in-law I've chosen."
Qian Daoliu gave Dugu Bo a calm glance,
and choked back everything he had been about to say.
Lin Du had only just burst out of the spring.
As the night breeze blew over him, he had just begun to feel a chill run through his body,
but before he could do anything,
Qian Renxue had already pulled him into her embrace.
At that moment,
the words gentle and warm as jade seemed to have taken physical form.
"How could you be so reckless?!"
"Do you know how worried I was about you?!"
"Let me see."
"Did you get hurt in there..."
As Qian Renxue spoke,
she tried to inspect Lin Du for injuries from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Yet the moment her gaze fell upon Lin Du's upper body,
she froze in place as though petrified.
If Lin Du had not seen the blush rapidly spreading across Qian Renxue's face
and felt her body temperature steadily rising,
he might truly have thought she had been rooted to the spot.
Without the slightest hesitation,
driven almost entirely by instinct,
the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring on Lin Du's finger flashed.
The next moment,
the Ten Thousand Scale Inner Armor covered his body.
With a mere thought,
dense scales wrapped around Lin Du's body,
fitting him as tightly as a bodysuit
and leaving only his head exposed.
Though it still looked rather awkward,
it was far better than before.
"The spring water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye contains an enormous amount of violent energy."
"Clothes get corroded easily."
"So..."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Du's face,
but to keep Qian Renxue from thinking he was some kind of pervert,
he patiently explained himself.
"Hmph!"
"This..."
"I'll forgive you this time."
"You..."
"It's good that you're alright."
Qian Renxue turned her head away,
not wanting Lin Du to see her flushed cheeks.
Yet her crystal-clear, red earlobes, swollen like agate, still betrayed her.
Not long after,
inside the simple wooden cabin Dugu Bo had built,
the group sat around a fire.
After stirring the Spirit Beast meat simmering in the pot,
Dugu Bo could no longer suppress his curiosity and turned toward the neatly dressed Lin Du.
"Hey, brat,"
"how did you know the names of those two poisonous herbs?"
"And their medicinal properties?"
"Also,"
"after consuming those two herbs,"
"what ability did you gain?"
It was not just Dugu Bo who was curious.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were equally curious.
"Back when I was wandering around, I found an ancient book called the Record of Strange Flowers and Exotic Grasses."
"It recorded all kinds of strange flowers and exotic grasses in great detail."
"That's why I was able to recognize the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot."
Lin Du spoke with complete sincerity,
and his expression remained calm.
With that composed and unruffled appearance,
he truly did not look as though he were lying.
"Do you still have that book?"
"Can you lend it to me?"
Dugu Bo was greatly interested in ancient books that recorded strange flowers and exotic grasses,
and immediately wanted to borrow it.
"Can't lend it to you."
"I already burned that book."
Lin Du spread his hands,
a helpless look appearing on his face.
"You burned it?!"
"You actually burned such a precious book?!"
Upon hearing Lin Du's words,
Dugu Bo's eyes widened immensely.
If Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue had not been sitting beside him,
he likely would have grabbed Lin Du by the collar and viciously demanded to know why he had burned such a remarkable book!
"I knew it was a remarkable book too."
"But I had to survive."
"In the dead of winter, I couldn't find any firewood."
"So I could only burn books."
"Otherwise,"
"I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you about that book right now."
"But there's no need to worry."
"I've already memorized it all."
"At worst, I can recite it for you."
"Honestly."
"You're almost ninety years old,"
"yet you're not even as steady as a six-year-old child like me."
Lin Du gave Dugu Bo a faint sidelong glance,
his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
Hearing that he still had a chance to see such a remarkable book,
Dugu Bo did not care about Lin Du's contemptuous gaze.
He was visibly delighted.
"Then, Lin Du,"
"after eating those two herbs and jumping into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for an entire day,"
"what exactly did you gain?"
Qian Renxue propped her cheeks up with both hands,
squeezing out two soft, rosy puffs of cheek.
Her bright eyes stared fixedly at Lin Du,
filled with curiosity.
"If I had to describe it simply in four words,"
"it would be water and fire cannot harm me."
As he spoke,
before Qian Renxue's adorably stunned expression,
Lin Du unhesitatingly thrust his palm into the crackling flames before him.
"What are you doing, Lin Du?!"
"You'll get burned!"
Qian Renxue instinctively pulled Lin Du's hand out of the flames.
Puffing out her cheeks, she blew "hoo, hoo" over it, trying to cool his hand down.
But after examining it carefully, she discovered in astonishment
that Lin Du's palm remained fair and smooth as jade.
Forget burn marks—
there was not even a blister.
"No need to look."
"There's nothing wrong at all."
"This is what I gained after suffering so much."
"My body is now immune to all evils, water, and fire."
Lin Du lightly raised an eyebrow at Qian Renxue,
his face carrying a hint of pride.
"Du'er,"
"try this."
Qian Daoliu raised his right hand.
As Soul Power surged,
Golden Flame poured from his palm.
"Grandpa,"
"that's the Sacred Flame inherent to the Angel Martial Soul."
"It'll hurt Lin Du."
Seeing her grandpa preparing to burn Lin Du with Sacred Flame,
Qian Renxue immediately looked displeased.
"Don't worry."
"If he's only immune to ordinary flames..."
"Then what did I suffer so much for?"
Because Qian Renxue was holding his right hand,
after giving Qian Renxue a reassuring look,
Lin Du extended his left hand into the Sacred Flame in Qian Daoliu's palm.
The next second,
something miraculous happened.
Not only did the Sacred Flame in Qian Daoliu's palm leave no mark on Lin Du's hand,
it did not even offer the slightest resistance,
and was effortlessly devoured by Lin Du!
