The Blue-Haired Little Boy Was Actually A-Qing?

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: @Daddy Douluo, A-Qing! Where the hell are you? If you're not dead, say something!

[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, are you okay? Did you run into danger? Say something already!

The sounds of battle over in Nuoding City had already vanished.

Yet Xiao Wu still hid in her dorm room, too afraid to go out.

She stared intently at the Chat Group Light Screen, her little hands clenched white.

The thought that Lin Qingmo might be in danger made her unable to stop worrying.

[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, why did you suddenly stop talking? If you have encountered danger, you may tell me.

Spirit Hall.

The Light Screen before Bibi Dong remained lit.

She had not slept all night.

There was a trace of barely perceptible anxiety in her Purple Eyes.

Through Spirit Hall's influence, she had already investigated Lin Qingmo's identity.

A Work-Study Student at Notting Academy.

Six years old, with Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul and innate Soul Power at level four.

She had even obtained a portrait of Lin Qingmo.

He was a black-haired, black-eyed little boy who looked rather clever.

If Lin Qingmo continued to remain silent,

she might truly have to personally set out for Nuoding City.

Just as the three of them were about to be unable to contain their anxiety,

a message from Lin Qingmo finally popped up in the Chat Group.

[Daddy Douluo]: I'm back! Family, sorry to keep you waiting!

Upon seeing those words,

Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and Bibi Dong all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The weight hanging over their hearts finally lifted.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: You brat, you're finally back!

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: What exactly happened last night? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Do you know we were worried all night?

[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, it's so good that you're okay!

[The Pope Herself]: As long as you are safe.

[The Pope Herself]: Tell us. What exactly happened last night?

Bibi Dong's tone remained calm.

But anyone familiar with her could hear the relief in it.

A smug smile appeared on Lin Qingmo's face.

He found a rock and sat down.

Then he began recounting his strange encounter from the previous night.

[Daddy Douluo]: Hehe, you might not believe this when I tell you!

[Daddy Douluo]: Last night, I was under a waterfall, worrying about how to get back up. Then Ah Yin suddenly stepped in to help me!

A string of messages popped up.

They detailed everything that had happened to him the previous night.

From Ah Yin helping him, to giving him the bone, to the changes after he fused with the Soul Bone, he told them all of it.

The Chat Group fell silent.

Liu Erlong's eyes widened as she reread the words on the screen over and over.

She wondered whether she had not fully woken up yet.

"She voluntarily gave him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? How was that possible?"

Liu Erlong still found it hard to believe.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"That was a priceless treasure every Soul Master dreamed of. Why would that Ah Yin give it to a little kid like A-Qing?"

"Shouldn't she have saved it for her own son, Tang San?"

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded as well.

This was far too unbelievable!

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly, and stormy waves rose within her heart.

She had never expected things to develop this way.

Not only had Ah Yin not been hostile toward Lin Qingmo,

she had even voluntarily given him a Soul Bone...

"What exactly was going on here?"

After quite a while,

Liu Erlong was the first to recover and send a message to the group.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A-Qing, you didn't lie to us, did you?

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Why did Ah Yin help you? And even voluntarily give you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? Did you know each other before?

[Green Green Grass]: A-Qing... is a good child...

Ah Yin, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly sent a message.

Her tone was gentle.

"?"

Liu Erlong froze for a moment.

Who exactly was this "Green Green Grass"?

She popped up every now and then.

And she even said A-Qing was a good child, acting just like a mother.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: This little brat A-Qing is arrogant and full of himself, and he spends all day thinking about being surrounded by beauties. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like a good child.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: He's obviously a little punk with the makings of a scumbag!

Liu Erlong mocked him without mercy.

She truly could not understand how anyone could think Lin Qingmo was a good child.

[A Rogue Rabbit]: I think A-Qing is a good person!

Xiao Wu was serious.

Not only did he know her secret,

he had not rejected her and had even protected her.

If that did not make him a good person, what did?

"When A-Qing comes back, I'll give him all my best Carrots... Hmm, maybe just one."

Xiao Wu nodded heavily.

In any case, in her heart, Lin Qingmo was a kind and brave good person.

Seeing A-Tu defend him, Lin Qingmo felt warmth rise in his heart.

[Daddy Douluo]: A-Tu is the one who gets me!

[Daddy Douluo]: I was already a kind, upright young man who loved helping others.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Pah! What a thick skin!

Liu Erlong fired back mercilessly.

Watching the interaction in the group, Bibi Dong inexplicably felt herself relax.

She did not dwell on why Ah Yin had helped Lin Qingmo.

Instead, she was more concerned about Lin Qingmo's current situation.

[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, where are you now? What do you plan to do next?

[Daddy Douluo]: Right now, I'm preparing to head to Soul Hunting Forest.

[A Rogue Rabbit]: Huh? You're not going back to Notting Academy?

[Daddy Douluo]: Can't be helped. Look at this!

[Daddy Douluo]: "Selfie"!

As he spoke, Lin Qingmo directly sent a close-up picture of himself in the Chat Group.

In the photo, a little boy with short Blue Silver Color hair and Blue Silver Color eyes grinned at the camera.

His skin was fair.

His features were delicate.

He looked both adorable and handsome.

He was completely different from his previous black-haired, black-eyed appearance.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Whose little boy is this? He's pretty cute. I want to hug him~

[A Rogue Rabbit]: Hmph, not as cute as A-Qing!

[Daddy Douluo]: It's me! I am A-Qing!

[A Rogue Rabbit]: Huh?

[The Pope Herself]: You are A-Qing?

Bibi Dong looked at the Blue-Haired Boy in the photo, her brows knitting slightly.

She was still holding Lin Qingmo's previous portrait.

He had clearly had black hair and black eyes.

How had he become blue-haired and blue-eyed overnight?

[A Rogue Rabbit]: This is A-Qing? How did he become like this?

Xiao Wu was even more shocked.

She had seen Lin Qingmo with her own eyes. He definitely had not looked like this!

But... if she looked closely, his features did seem somewhat similar.

[Daddy Douluo]: Hehe, these are the changes after absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

[Daddy Douluo]: After absorbing the Soul Bone, my appearance became like this. My hair and eyes both turned blue, the same color as Blue Silver Grass.

[Green Green Grass]: Mm... the same...

[Daddy Douluo]: Think about it. If I went back to Notting Academy looking like this, wouldn't that be suspicious?

[Daddy Douluo]: If the teachers asked, it would be hard to explain. I couldn't exactly say I'd absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, could I?

That would be asking for death.

Lin Qingmo would not do something like that.

He was already level 10 now and met the requirement to absorb his First Spirit Ring.

So he planned to first go to Soul Hunting Forest, hunt a suitable Spirit Beast, and absorb his First Spirit Ring.

Then he would return to Notting Academy with the excuse that "the Spirit Ring caused a change in his appearance."

At the very least, that would give him some plausible explanation.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Mm, that reason does sound somewhat believable.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: But your Soul Power is only level 10. Can you really go to Soul Hunting Forest alone to hunt Spirit Beasts?

Liu Erlong was still somewhat worried.

Although Soul Hunting Forest was the lowest-level Spirit Beast hunting ground,

there were quite a few Century Spirit Beasts inside, and there was a small chance of encountering Millennium Spirit Beasts.

Lin Qingmo was merely a Junior Spirit Master who had just reached level 10.

Though he possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he had virtually no actual combat experience.

Going to Soul Hunting Forest was practically serving himself up on a platter.

[Daddy Douluo]: This... should be okay, right?

[Daddy Douluo]: My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has become thick and sturdy, and it's especially flexible to control.

[Daddy Douluo]: I can control Blue Silver Grass to Entangle and Bind Spirit Beasts. That should give me some combat ability, right? Mm... it should!

Lin Qingmo's tone was somewhat uncertain.

He was even trying to encourage himself.

Although he had absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone,

he truly did not have any actual combat experience.

He was not entirely confident either.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: This is way too unreliable, isn't it?!

Liu Erlong felt a headache coming on as she read it.

This little brat was far too impulsive!

He dared to go to Soul Hunting Forest alone without any combat experience.

He was practically treating his own life as a joke!

[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, you have to be careful!

Xiao Wu said worriedly as well.

She truly did not want to see anything happen to Lin Qingmo.

[Daddy Douluo]: I'll be careful. And I have a Flight Soul Bone Skill. If I can't win, I can still run.
