Lin Xiao stared at Xiao Linger, overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
He had never imagined that Xiao Linger would give him such a precious External Soul Bone.
Everyone knew that Soul Bones were called Blood River Treasures, and the most precious of them were naturally External Soul Bones.
He already had Ice Empress's Torso Bone inside him. Apart from that, he didn't have a single other Soul Bone.
And now Xiao Linger was giving him one.
"Beast Lord, this Soul Bone is for you!" Xiao Er hurriedly blurted out.
Xiao Linger waved a hand. "I have my reasons."
Xiao Er immediately fell silent and said nothing more.
"Ling'er, you should keep this Soul Bone. I could take it or leave it."
Lin Xiao said this with a pained expression. Did he not want it? Of course he did! Cao Boss had turned down the throne three times before accepting it. Shouldn't he at least show some restraint?
"Come on, Xiao Xiaozi. You think I don't know you? You want it even more than I do."
"Take it. Consider it payment for all the effort you put into refining pills for me."
Xiao Linger shot back. She knew exactly what this guy was like.
Lin Xiao chuckled sheepishly, exposed.
"Then I'll take it." Lin Xiao stopped being polite and accepted the Soul Bone.
Only then did Xiao Linger nod in satisfaction. Di Tian and Bi Ji showed no displeasure; this was the Auspicious Beast's own choice.
Di Tian hadn't expected Xiao Linger to give away a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone just like that, but he wasn't upset. In fact, he approved.
The Auspicious Beast would ultimately stay by Lin Xiao's side, so building a good relationship with him was only natural.
"Go ahead and refine it. We'll keep watch for you,"
