Lin had said it himself, and the Rui Beast had said it too.
Both sides had said it, so they just had to pretend they had never said it.
As long as they reached an agreement, they could keep things vague.
Lin agreed to the Rui Beast's terms.
"I'll notify Di Tian right away. I'd like to see whether that brat is real or fake."
After Red King finished speaking, he turned to Lin and instructed him, "Take good care of the Rui Beast. Even if you die, the Rui Beast cannot be harmed."
Lin rolled his eyes at Red King, feeling that this guy was both arrogant and rather foolish.
Red King left. The Rui Beast's gaze fell on the Ice Emperor, and she asked Lin, "Is she the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion?"
Lin froze. The Rui Beast's eyesight was that good? Even Red King had not recognized her, yet she had seen through it at a glance?
Before Xiao Xiao could speak, the Rui Beast continued, "Her aura is strange, but I can still sense that special presence from her."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded. "Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the North Pole."
As Lin finished speaking, the Ice Emperor moved to the Rui Beast's side and sensed the unique aura emanating from her.
Sure enough, beside the Rui Beast, a Soul Beast's cultivation speed could increase.
Even the Ice Emperor, who had wanted to become a Soul Body alone, liked the Rui Beast very much.
The Rui Beast had not expected that the other party would actually be the Ice Emperor, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and one of the three great kings of the North Pole.
"What happened to her? How did she end up like this?"
The Rui Beast could not understand it. Lin was only a twenty-something-year-old human, while the Ice Emperor was a Soul Beast nearing four hundred thousand years. How could the two of them possibly be connected?
The Rui Beast frowned, unable to make sense of it for a while. What connection could there possibly be?
"The Ice Emperor is currently a Soul Body. She became my soul ring, but she did not die. It is roughly equivalent to symbiosis."
Lin patiently explained it to the Rui Beast. After hearing this, she nodded repeatedly, and her brows finally relaxed.
"Later, have Red King find me a fifty-thousand-year Black Tiger, a dark-attribute dragon-type Soul Beast. I'll demonstrate it for you once."
Lin smiled at the Rui Beast. Wouldn't that settle it? Why did they have to fight and kill each other?
Only then did the Rui Beast understand. So Lin wanted soul rings. He had been waiting for her here all along!
How hateful.
"Hmph, so you wanted soul rings. You've really got quite the scheme, Lin!"
The Rui Beast raised a paw and pointed at Xiao Xiao.
"It won't die. It will be just like the Ice Emperor. You can rest easy now."
Lin continued. The Rui Beast curiously looked toward the Ice Emperor, still somewhat doubtful of Lin's words.
The Ice Emperor nodded. "Rui Beast, what he said is true. I am now a Soul Body, and I have not died."
"In this regard, you can trust him."
As she spoke, the Ice Emperor looked toward Lin.
Lin nodded slightly and released his soul ring. In an instant, a red soul ring appeared before the Rui Beast.
It was real. It was actually real.
The Rui Beast now completely believed Lin's words.
"So you didn't return to the Star Dou Forest for the past few months because you went to find the Ice Emperor?"
The Rui Beast asked Lin.
"You could say that. So, Rui Beast, about my second soul ring, do you think..."
Lin gave a sheepish smile.
The Rui Beast rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'll risk offending Di Tian and help you find a dragon-type Soul Beast."
"Are you sure it's you, and not Red King?"
Lin was almost embarrassed to expose her little act.
"It's all the same, it's all the same." The Rui Beast patted her chest and forcibly explained herself.
Lin merely smiled and did not bother arguing with her.
"Lin, didn't you say last time that you would give me a human name?" The Rui Beast threw herself into Lin's arms and looked up at him.
Lin nodded. "What, do you want to take human form and go out? Maybe wait a little longer. You aren't afraid, but I'm afraid Di Tian will come fight me to the death."
If he really abducted the Rui Beast, Di Tian at this stage would probably kill him.
"Not for now, but you might as well give me a human name."
The Rui Beast did not care much about it. She merely wanted a human name.
Lin nodded and thought for a moment. "My name is Lin. How about Wang Qiu'er? Qiu means stillness, and er means movement. It suits the Rui Beast's nature quite well."
The Rui Beast softly repeated it. "Wang Qiu'er, quiet and lively, Qiu'er..."
"That works. From now on, I'll be called Wang Qiu'er!!"
The Rui Beast was extremely proud. Though she said so, she could not hide the joy in her heart.
Before long, the Ice Emperor also began calling her Wang Qiu'er.
Rui Beast: Wang Qiu'er.
She was no longer some King Qiu'er.
Naturally, the current Tang San had not yet made a move against the Rui Beast, and he himself had no plans to do so.
Lin smiled at the Rui Beast. Sure enough, Red King soon came back, puffing with anger.
"Kid Lin, you really gave me quite a fright."
"Damn it, someone actually stole from us."
Red King was furious. If Lin had not pointed it out, he would not even have known how much had been lost.
"Red King, what exactly happened?" Wang Qiu'er looked curiously at the fuming Red King.
She truly could not imagine what could be stolen right under the noses of so many Soul Beasts.
"A Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear is being hunted down by Di Tian right now. It probably won't end well."
Red King clicked his tongue. This was the fate of one who dared to steal things.
Wang Qiu'er nodded. So that was it. A beast king—no wonder it was so bold.
The next moment, Red King took out a piece of Life Gold. "Kid Lin, this is what the Rui Beast promised you. It's yours."
As he spoke, Red King tossed the Life Gold over. It was not very large, only about the size of a finger.
It really was just a tiny piece.
Lin did not mind. It would do for now.
Presumably, Red King had used this matter as an excuse when speaking to Di Tian.
Lin took out sixty medicinal herbs and condensed one hundred Energy Nourishing Crystals for the Rui Beast. "Qiu'er, then about the soul ring I mentioned just now..."
Lin smiled awkwardly. His second soul ring was something he had been looking forward to greatly.
Lin did not dare say outright that it needed to be a fifty-thousand-year one. Even if the Rui Beast agreed, Di Tian might not necessarily agree.
The Rui Beast nodded and looked at Red King. "Red King, you just told Di Tian about..."
Wang Qiu'er explained the matter of the soul ring to Red King. Red King nodded repeatedly, especially after hearing that the little scorpion was the Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the North Pole. Even three mouths were not enough for him to express his shock.
"Kid Lin, wait here. I'll go right now." Red King did not hesitate at all. Although his mouth was not very useful, he was quite good at delivering messages.
Not long afterward, a man in black appeared beside Lin alongside Red King, radiating an intimidating aura.
His golden eyes seemed to see straight through Lin. His superior's aura was undeniably overbearing, and every gesture carried the majesty of a king.
Di Tian!
Lin immediately recognized him. The only one who could make Red King act this way was Di Tian.
Inside the ring, Lao Yao watched with curiosity. This was the first time he had encountered someone stronger than himself since coming here, so he did not rashly speak.
He was also unsure just how powerful Di Tian was, or whether Di Tian could sense his existence.
"Human, what exactly is this soul ring you speak of?"
Di Tian held the Rui Beast in his arms, his gaze resting on Lin.
The Rui Beast struggled, then jumped directly into Lin's arms. She liked the aura on Lin's body!
