You Have to Believe Dad

"Not to mention that everyone's innate physical constitution varies in strength."

Such soul master theory is far more comprehensive; it is not something a half-baked amateur like Yu Xiaogang can compare to. At best, his work is like a brief encyclopedia for a novice village.

To blindly absorb the so-called "optimal configuration" of soul rings without considering the energy intensity of the rings or the limits of one's own body—is that not simply courting death?

Li Pu truly cannot fathom why, if things remain this way, the physiques of soul masters are so weak that even the strongest among them can be easily killed by hidden weapons.

"This is not without reason. However, as an ancient exotic beast, its level is comparable to that of dragons and phoenixes. Furthermore, this inner core does not necessarily need to be absorbed all at once; it is best to divide it into several portions. It would be even better if someone assists you in the absorption. See how much you can handle, and once you are ready, you can absorb the rest. Of course, you could also consider using it to upgrade the soul rings you have already absorbed, provided the attributes are compatible," Li Pu continued, offering his insights.

Since methods to upgrade soul ring age can be found even without the intervention of gods, it is clear that enhancing existing soul rings is not actually difficult.

Not to mention the soul rings granted by artificial soul spirits. Now that artificial soul spirits have been created—be it hammers, chairs, or steamed buns—the fact that they still cannot solve the issue of autonomous soul ring condensation suggests that the technological tree has been pointed in the wrong direction.

"Is this really possible?"

Little Qian Renxue was incredibly curious. She believed that Li Pu would not lie to her; at worst, she could find her father or grandfather to test it out.

Therefore, this sunny, cheerful, and very handsome brother before her was not deceiving her.

Li Pu nodded: "I said, you can find some people to try it out, and you will know once they help you."

Hurry up and say thank you.

Thank you, Brother Li Pu.

"Alright, then thank you, Brother Li."

This was the first time Little Qian Renxue had received such a precious gift; it was something she might never have received in her entire life.

Moreover, Little Qian Renxue suddenly remembered that Li Pu had just said this was obtained by him and her mother while hunting a Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. Since her mother also agreed to give it to her, did that mean this was also a gift from her mother?

In truth, her mother still had a place for her in her heart; she just didn't know how to show it.

Thinking of this, Little Qian Renxue felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"I will definitely not let Brother Li Pu down, and also..."

Thinking that her mother might not like it, she didn't say it out loud, so she simply thanked her mother in her heart.

"The greetings are done, you should head back now. Your mother and I still have to get back to planting flowers."

"Okay."

After setting Little Qian Renxue down, she cradled the golden-red orb and left happily.

Not until her back gradually disappeared did Bibi Dong speak.

"You two were quite happy."

"Do you need me to say more? I am willing to accept her, and besides, she is quite likable."

"But I am not willing to accept her! Her body flows with half of that bastard's disgusting blood!" Bibi Dong could no longer hold back her tears.

Li Pu stepped forward to comfort her: "Regardless of everything, the sins should not extend to the next generation. Besides, she cares about you, and her body also flows with your blood."

Li Pu understood the logic; such an act is indeed repulsive.

Setting aside the schemes of the gods, she was indeed a mistake. In fact, letting a newborn life leave this world might have been the "correct" choice.

Regardless of whether it fell within his speculations, Li Pu still chose to have Bibi Dong accept Qian Renxue as her daughter.

As for the one who is an eyesore, he must disappear when the time comes!

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

"I will wait for that day to come."

Li Pu said no more; further words would be futile.

Even if he explained that this was the work of the gods, she would not believe it.

The gods are in the shadows, while he is in the light; currently, he has no advantage.

The method to break the deadlock has not yet arrived.

After coming out, Little Qian Renxue saw her father looking bitter and deep in thought, so she hurried forward: "Father, what is wrong?"

Qian Xunji's expression softened slightly, returning to a sunny appearance: "Father is fine, just a little unhappy."

"Is it because of Brother Li Pu? Brother Li Pu is not a brother, Father, you lied to me! Besides, Brother Li Pu is a very good person; he is just Mom's good friend. This is the inner core of a soul beast that Brother Li Pu and Mom hunted for me." Little Qian Renxue held the golden-red bead happily in front of Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji had to admit that the energy contained in this inner core was extremely suitable for use as a soul ring. Furthermore, hearing about the benefits—that it could even increase the age of a soul ring—made even him tempted. This was no less valuable than a top-tier soul bone.

Strictly speaking, this was a legendary God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

Such a gift was not something just anyone could bring out.

He wouldn't go so far as to snatch his daughter's opportunity, and he even felt that this would allow his precious daughter to better inherit the godhood in the future.

Even though Li Pu had given such a grand gift, he still disliked him.

Thus, he squatted down and spoke earnestly: "Xue'er, this is indeed a good thing, but you must not trust him easily. He really will steal your mother away; you must trust Father."

"Ah~ but I don't think Brother Li Pu is like that!" Little Qian Renxue said naively.

Qian Xunji felt like crying but had no tears. He had originally thought that as long as his precious daughter took action, it would be enough. He never expected that the brat would not only be indifferent but had managed to hoodwink his precious daughter with just a single bead. It was truly hateful; he already had the path to his own demise!

First his beloved disciple was easily swindled away by some good-for-nothing, and now his precious daughter was about to be swindled away too!

It was infuriating!

Qian Xunji currently felt the urge to grab a blade, storm in, and butcher Li Pu into eight pieces!

Yet, he still had to patiently lecture his precious daughter: "Xue'er, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the sea with a bucket. You must not trust people so easily; the more handsome they are, or the more they appear honest and kind, the more likely they are to deceive you!"

Little Qian Renxue nodded: "Oh~ that doesn't include Brother Li Pu, right? Otherwise, why would he give me such a precious item? Even Mom, who usually doesn't like me, gave me a gift. Doesn't that mean Mom still loves me?"

The sound of a dagger piercing his heart echoed within Qian Xunji, and he felt like he was dying of grief.

My daughter, that brat is truly not a good person!

The urge to destroy Li Pu grew even stronger; Li Pu had truly crossed his bottom line.

Seeing her father defeated, Little Qian Renxue became even happier: "I know, Dad. You're afraid Brother Li Pu will steal Mom away, right? Don't be angry, Dad. I believe Mom won't betray you, and Brother Li Pu wouldn't do such a thing."

Another dagger pierced Qian Xunji's heart; he truly felt like dying.

His own precious daughter had really been hooked by Li Pu!

Kill him! I must kill him!
