Hearing that Qian Renxue was going Soul Hunting, Jin Yue'er's eyes filled with longing.
Grasping Jin E's golden coronation robe, she said softly:
"Grandpa, when will Yue'er be able to awaken her martial soul?"
"This..."
A hint of difficulty appeared on Jin E's face.
Qian Daoliu walked over, smiled kindly, and reassured her:
"Little Yue'er, don't rush. There are still more than six months left. If your body is in better condition by then, this old man will personally awaken your martial soul."
"Really? Grand Priest Grandpa?"
A trace of surprise bloomed in Jin Yue'er's somewhat lifeless eyes.
"Of course! My grandpa always keeps his word!"
Qian Renxue solemnly vowed.
"Ha ha. That's wonderful! Thank you, great-grandpa!"
Jin Yue'er beamed and thanked him in a crisp, respectful voice.
Qian Daoliu helplessly rubbed Qian Renxue's silky hair,
then nodded at Jin Yue'er.
The prerequisite for him to awaken her martial soul was that she had to have a healthy body.
Otherwise,
without Jin E's consent, Qian Daoliu would not make a move either.
Jin Yue'er looked towards Douluo Jin E again and said excitedly, "Grandpa, did you hear that? Yue'er can awaken her martial soul too."
"I heard you. Of course Grandpa heard you."
Douluo Jin E smiled, though his heart ached faintly. He lifted his granddaughter and praised, "My Jin E's granddaughter will definitely become a powerful Spirit Master."
"Haha."
Jin Yue'er's bell-like laughter brought a smile to Qian Renxue's face as well. She felt a little envious, then looked expectantly and pitifully at Qian Daoliu.
Grandpa always seemed so serious. He had never lifted her that high before.
"..."
Qian Daoliu met his granddaughter's gaze and was stunned.
He did not understand the expectation in Qian Renxue's eyes, and instead tried to send her away.
"Little Xue, take Yue'er back to rest properly first. Adjust yourselves and prepare to absorb the Whale Rubber. We leave for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow morning."
"O~kay~ then~"
The light in Qian Renxue's eyes quickly dimmed, and she replied listlessly.
She raised her eyes and called to Jin Yue'er:
"Yue'er, let's go. I'll carry you."
"Mmm."
Jin Yue'er's feet touched the ground,
and she deftly climbed onto Qian Renxue's ready back, saying with a smile, "Sister Xue, once Yue'er awakens her martial soul, I'll carry you instead."
"Sure."
Qian Renxue agreed with a smile.
"..."
Douluo Jin E stood beside Qian Daoliu, watching the two children leave.
"Big Brother, do you think Yue'er can pull through?"
"Good people are blessed by heaven."
Qian Daoliu replied helplessly and raised a hand to grip Jin E's shoulder.
"Ah... I hope so."
Douluo Jin E let out a long sigh, hatred blazing in his eyes.
"Those damned Fallen Ones!"
"Jin E, from now on, let me use my Soul Power to nourish Yue'er's bodily meridians."
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back.
This was the only thing he could do.
Jin Yue'er's condition was far too unusual. It was not merely a matter of a weak body.
When Jin E's son and daughter-in-law suffered their tragedy, his daughter-in-law had not yet reached nine months of pregnancy. If she had not desperately protected the child in her final moments, and if Jin E had not arrived in time and ruthlessly taken the child out,
Jin Yue'er would likely have died in the womb long ago, following her parents in death.
Although she had been saved,
Jin Yue'er had Congenital Insufficiency. Extremely sinister Soul Power had also invaded while she was vulnerable, leaving her Eight Extraordinary Meridians incomparably fragile.
She could not even take ordinary tonics. Even the slightest thread of Soul Power could take her life.
This so-called nourishment of her body merely meant soaking her body surface in Soul Power. Whether it could even treat the symptoms was uncertain; in any case, it could not cure the root cause.
Awakening a martial soul
was, for ordinary people, something that determined their fate—a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.
But for Jin Yue'er, it was a death warrant!
"Thank you, Big Brother."
Douluo Jin E thanked him.
He knew that while the Six-winged Angel's Soul Power was fervent, it also possessed a gentle, healing side. Its effects would be far better than his own Soul Power.
But that was all.
Bang—bang bang!
Inside Wisteria Residence.
After bathing, Ye Tian knocked on Bibi Dong's Room Door again, but received no response for a long while.
Carrying the food box,
Ye Tian could only helplessly shout:
"Teacher, do you want food?"
With a bang.
Within just a few breaths, the door opened from inside.
Her voice came before her appearance.
"Yes!"
Bibi Dong poked her head through the crack in the door.
Her wine-red silky hair was damp, her purple eyes seemed washed by morning dew, and her cheeks held a healthy flush. Fresh from her bath, she had gone from cold and glamorous to somewhat more delicate, carrying a faint floral fragrance.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Ye Tian, still as an ancient well.
Seeing this,
Ye Tian could not help but be stunned.
It was not because he was lustful, but because he had never seen Bibi Dong this calm.
Calm as water, without the slightest hatred or killing intent.
"Where's the food?"
Bibi Dong's slender eyebrows slightly furrowed.
If Ye Tian's eyes had not been so clear, she would have already pierced him straight through with her Spider Spears.
"Ah, it's here, it's here."
Ye Tian handed the food box to Bibi Dong.
"By the way, Teacher, I also used your name to have someone get some jars, hourglasses, and such. I thought I'd let you know."
"Fine, I know."
Bibi Dong's anger had already subsided, and she did not care about such trivial matters. Instead, she asked:
"Are you free this afternoon?"
"No."
Ye Tian shook his head.
"I need to organize the Law of Inheritance for Elder Ju."
"The Law of Inheritance?"
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow.
She did not understand it, nor did she want to. She had no interest in flowers and plants now. She only wanted to cultivate and take revenge.
"What about tonight?"
"Yes."
"Remember to come to my room, and prepare dinner."
"Yes, Teacher!"
Ye Tian nodded and agreed. It was only cultivating on a different bed, after all.
As his words fell.
Bibi Dong stood where she was, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at Ye Tian's pale face. She reminded him, "Cultivation requires a proper balance between exertion and rest. See you tonight."
"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. I'll be careful."
Slap!
Before Ye Tian could finish speaking.
Bibi Dong shut the door.
Ye Tian helplessly rolled his eyes at the door before turning around and returning to his room.
The environment was still quite nice.
The desk sat right beside the window sill. Once he propped open the window, he could sit there and see the green plantains, all kinds of lush plants, and red flowers.
Ye Tian took out paper and a pen and sat at the window front.
The first thing he did was summon his martial soul and make a Marrow Cleansing Pill, draining the Soul Power he had accumulated on the way.
Then he took out an hourglass and placed it on the desk.
Ye Tian understood that although the Bone and Marrow Cleansing effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was weak, it could still be tracked. Cultivation speed might be difficult to gauge, but recovery speed, this important indicator, was much easier to record.
With everything ready.
Ye Tian began writing the Law of Inheritance.
Explaining it orally was still too troublesome. Transmitting information through text and illustrations was far more efficient.
When his Soul Power was fully restored.
Ye Tian made a mark on the hourglass, then drained the Soul Power in his body again. He placed six Marrow Cleansing Pills into a jar and swallowed the other ten.
Drain it, reset the hourglass, and continue writing.
He repeated this over and over.
