Qian Renxue's Kidney Deficiency! But I'm a Girl?! Fully Charged!

A sweep of his consciousness into the sea of consciousness revealed Qian Renxue huddled in a corner, pouting and listlessly drawing circles with her finger.

"Not looking, not looking, not looking!"

"Not interested!"

"What is this? Are you angry with your master?"

"Yes, that's right, I am angry! Give my body back to me!"

Qian Renxue sprang to her feet, unusually firm as she talked back.

"Hey, don't be like that, Master still has important business—"

"What kind of business could you possibly have? I don't care!"

"Give it back to me!"

"Give it back to me!"

The more Qian Renxue spoke, the angrier she became.

"You're a grown man occupying a girl's body; don't you feel any shame?"

"And you're untrustworthy... I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't, don't—I'll give it back, won't that do?"

Ling Xiao was unable to parry her rapid-fire retorts.

In any case, he had already had his fill of fun, and he didn't want to truly provoke his one and only precious disciple.

"Honestly, it wouldn't break just from being used a little; you're so stingy."

The next second, Qian Renxue felt a wave of dizziness, and the scene before her eyes shifted in a flash.

She found herself standing in a strange space where the walls were covered in interwoven red and blue fluorescence.

Before her stood two massive skeletons, dozens of meters tall, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression!

She had no idea where she was, but she couldn't afford to worry about that now.

She only knew that she had finally regained her own body!

The feeling of having her feet firmly on the ground made Qian Renxue heave a long sigh of relief, feeling comfortable from the inside out.

Then, she began to inspect her body.

She checked her clothes.

"Thank goodness, nothing is missing..."

However—

"How did this happen? Didn't he notice the bra strap slipped?"

"Ahhh—it's leaking out the back too!"

Qian Renxue's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp as she scrambled to adjust her clothing, feeling both angry and mortified, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

But suddenly, a sense of weakness struck her belatedly, as if her entire body had been hollowed out.

It made her limbs go soft, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

"This... what is going on? Master! Master!"

She panted slightly, her voice laced with panic.

This feeling...

Why was it just like the legendary kidney deficiency?

But she was a girl, how could that be possible?!

It must be that Ling Xiao had ruined her body!

Hearing Qian Renxue's frantic, exasperated cries, Ling Xiao felt a bit guilty.

This was clearly the aftereffect of him extracting the source of the Soul Bone.

His mental power was formidable enough to suppress such a deficit, but Qian Renxue could not.

With the Soul Bone emptied, His instinct was to drain power from her body to replenish his own.

But could he actually say that?

Those six Soul Bones were the ancestral treasures of the Qian family; if she found out he had secretly used them, there was no telling how she might lecture him.

Thus, he decisively shifted the blame:

"Hmph, what did I tell you before?"

"I told you to put some effort into improving your physical constitution, but you weren't happy about it and sulked at me."

"See? Your master merely stretched his legs a little, and you're already this exhausted."

"Is that really it?"

Qian Renxue couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't that simple.

This didn't feel like the typical sign of physical exhaustion...

But Ling Xiao didn't give her any chance to get to the bottom of it.

"Sigh, who else but you is my disciple?"

"Wait right there, Master will find you something to replenish your strength immediately. Once you eat it, I guarantee you'll be full of vigor!"

As his words fell, Ling Xiao's soul form drifted out leisurely.

He stood in the void with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping toward those two dragon skeletons that had been silent for ten thousand years, before he suddenly let out a soft shout:

"What? You two little lizards, how much longer do you intend to hide?"

A trace of aura belonging to a Dou Sheng was suddenly released.

The two massive skeletons before him trembled violently, and then two nearly transparent phantoms drifted out, shivering and staring at Ling Xiao in terror.

"Who are you, Excellency?"

"How dare you intrude upon our resting place!"

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings asked with trembling voices.

"Who am I? You have no need to know."

Ling Xiao said calmly, "You only need to know this—"

"The Dragon Race has already perished, and your Dragon God has fallen as well!"

The two phantoms were struck with sudden shock, their transparent outlines rippling due to the violent emotional turmoil.

Ling Xiao didn't give them time to process it, continuing at a measured pace:

"I am giving you a chance now!"

"Offer up your essence, and I will allow you to retain a sliver of your spiritual imprint, giving you a chance for revenge."

He paused:

"Of course, you have no other choice."

The remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings trembled violently in the void, looking at each other, their hearts churning with endless, crashing waves of shock.

The incomparably powerful Dragon Race... the incomparably powerful Dragon God... had actually fallen?

If it were anyone else standing before them saying such things, they would have dismissed it with disdain, or even lunged forward to grind the intruder into dust;

to dare insult the great Dragon Race, was a crime worthy of death.

But this person before them was different.

The aura that had leaked from him for that brief moment was something even the Dragon God in his prime could not compare to.

Would such an existence be bored enough to come all this way just to lie to them?

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings remained silent for a long time, only then calming the shock and terror in their hearts.

But they couldn't even be considered souls anymore; they were merely remnants of will...

What else could they possibly do?

"We... are willing to offer our essence!"

"We only hope, my lord... that you will lend our Dragon Clan a helping hand."

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings bowed deeply to Ling Xiao, then transformed into two spheres of light, one red and one blue.

The two skeletons behind them also disintegrated into countless streams of light, pouring into the glowing spheres.

Ling Xiao nodded, accepting their offering.

He then rubbed his fingers together, and a snow-white flame appeared at his fingertips.

With a flick of his finger, the flame instantly engulfed the two spheres.

Under the tempering of the Exotic Flame, the two spheres merged, leaving behind only a single, highly refined golden bead, along with two masses of red and blue energy radiating a unique fluctuation.

"Come, consume this. I guarantee it will restore you to your original state in an instant, leaving you full of vigor!"

Ling Xiao handed the purified essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before obeying and consuming it.

The next second, she felt as if she were bathed in a gentle spring breeze; the previous sense of weakness vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of unprecedented power.

She clenched her fists, clearly sensing that her physical strength had increased by a significant margin.

What surprised her even more was that her soul power had recovered to around level 30.

Although it was far from her peak, compared to the rock bottom of level 3, it was like climbing back from hell to the mortal realm!

A smile finally appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

Yet, she still felt something was off.

Looking at those skeletons, looking at those two souls—

the trace of pressure they had radiated earlier had made her feel an irresistible suppression born of instinct, a suppression that originated from the depths of her soul.

The other party was certainly not simple; they were no ordinary soul beasts.

But this... was it only enough to restore her physical strength and a portion of her soul power?

Was it really that underwhelming?

Of course not!

What was used for her physical recovery was merely one ten-thousandth of the total.

The remaining ninety-nine percent

had all been quietly stored by Ling Xiao inside the Angel God Suit.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of "battery" the next time he used Qian Renxue's body!

Such a thing, Ling Xiao would naturally never tell Qian Renxue.
