Three Years

Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ying Chengfeng was ten, and Qian Renxue was nine.

Well... biologically speaking.

Both of them had successively obtained their third soul rings.

Ying Chengfeng's soul ring came from an unknown ten-thousand-year soul beast.

This soul beast possessed extreme, pure wind-attribute energy.

In a place like the Far North, it could be considered extremely precious.

After absorbing the soul ring energy of this beast, Ying Chengfeng's Wind Domain was greatly enhanced.

Now, if he unleashed his Wind Domain at full power, it could expand to a radius of eight hundred meters!

His Super-God Grade Martial Soul also unlocked a portion of its power.

The Super-God armor on his gauntlets had completely merged into his body.

It was as if he had obtained both a left arm soul bone and a right arm soul bone simultaneously.

However, Ying Chengfeng had fused with them completely; they were truly a part of his body.

Even if he were killed, the soul bones would not "drop" out.

The key was that this "soul bone Super-God armor" could continue to grow stronger.

His current arm strength was about ten times greater than before.

Previously, he had the strength of a hundred jin in one hand; now, he had nearly a thousand jin of force.

As for Qian Renxue's third soul ring, it came from a six-thousand-year Prism Beast.

Speaking of Yu Feiyan, she was now nine years old as well.

Compared to three years ago, Yu Feiyan had put on some weight and was no longer so thin.

Her Soul Power Level had already reached level 20.

Although her Innate Soul Power was only level 2, under the transformation of two immortal herbs, she possessed a cultivation speed nearly equivalent to Innate Full Soul Power.

Coupled with the tempering she received from a weakened version of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the fact that she had fused with her Martial Soul when obtaining her first soul ring, her cultivation speed was no longer inferior to a Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.

However, Yu Feiyan had not yet obtained her second soul ring.

It was simply impossible to find a suitable soul ring for her in the Far North.

At least for the past three years, Ying Chengfeng had not encountered a soul beast suitable for Yu Feiyan.

Ying Chengfeng planned to go to other outer regions of the Far North in a few days to search.

If he truly couldn't find one, he might have to end their cultivation in the Far North early.

There were only three years left until the six-year agreement with Bibi Dong.

In these three years, he intended to raise Yu Feiyan to the Soul Elder level.

Only then would the slap in the face be more impactful!

But at this moment, Ying Chengfeng and the two girls were setting up a barbecue.

Their food was an entire Ice Plain Wolf.

It was a thousand-year soul beast that had been injured and had foolishly stumbled into their territory.

The aroma of the roasted meat drifted outward.

Qian Renxue and Yu Feiyan were squatting on the left and right sides of Ying Chengfeng, respectively.

Both were waiting with expectant faces for the food to be cooked.

Just then, Yu Feiyan suddenly said, "This soul beast was injured and ran here; could it be the target of some Soul Master?"

"It's possible." Ying Chengfeng didn't pay much attention to it and said, "Regardless of whose it is, if it dares to damage our house, it can only become food."

As he spoke, the "rustling" sound of footsteps on the snow came from the distance.

A group composed entirely of women was walking toward them.

"There are people ahead," a girl with short, dark green hair said in surprise.

She quickened her pace and walked toward them.

The group also hurried to increase their speed.

Once they got closer, everyone saw three children—one boy and two girls—who didn't look very old.

The girl with short, dark green hair looked at Ying Chengfeng, who was busy with the barbecue, her round eyes widening.

The Ying Chengfeng before her had long, flowing white hair, and his eyes held a sharp, almost imperceptible edge.

His eyebrows sat low over his eyes, lending him a unique, youthful air of heroism and cold detachment.

The young girl couldn't help but blurt out, "What a pretty boy."

Instantly, she wore a lovestruck expression as she walked over to the campfire in front of Ying Chengfeng.

Ying Chengfeng raised his eyes to glance at the girl.

She had an oval face, was quite cute, and had a petite figure.

Judging by her expression, it was as if she had never seen a boy before.

To Ying Chengfeng, she felt like a middle schooler attending an all-girls boarding school.

"What are you guys doing?" the girl asked.

"Are you blind?" Ying Chengfeng retorted.

Hearing Ying Chengfeng's response, the girl didn't get angry and continued, "My name is Shui Yue'er, what's yours?"

Before Ying Chengfeng could speak, Qian Renxue, who was to the side, became displeased.

"What does your name have to do with us? Go away, don't disturb us while we're roasting meat."

Only then did Shui Yue'er carefully look around.

Suddenly, she spotted a wolf pelt not far away that looked somewhat familiar...

Shui Yue'er's companions also walked over at this moment.

One of them, a beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty, asked the three of them, "Where are your elders?"

"You can tell me whatever it is; I can make the decisions," Ying Chengfeng said without lifting his head, his hands busy tending to the roasting meat.

The beautiful woman pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Have you seen an Ice Plain Wolf?"

"I have," Ying Chengfeng replied.

He wasn't about to pretend others were blind.

There were Ice Plain Wolf tracks all over this snowfield.

Ying Chengfeng said in a flat tone, "It's currently roasting."

"You killed it?" The beautiful woman frowned slightly, her tone deepening.

"Are we not allowed to kill it?" Ying Chengfeng's voice remained indifferent.

"Little one, that spirit beast was targeted by us, and we had been chasing it for half a day," the beautiful woman said, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible.

"Is that so?" Ying Chengfeng finally looked up at the beautiful woman and said coolly, "So it takes you half a day to chase down a thousand-year spirit beast?"

"Or perhaps... you wanted to shift the disaster onto us, intentionally letting it destroy our house?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be leaving here so easily."

After speaking, Ying Chengfeng looked back toward the inside of the house.

"Mom, someone is trying to bully your son."

No sooner had Ying Chengfeng finished speaking than a beautiful figure flew out from the house.

Ji Qingyi stood before the beautiful woman, her eyes sharp and her tone icy. "So you're the one who wants to bully my son?"

The beautiful woman was startled, seeing eight spirit rings manifesting around Ji Qingyi.

She couldn't even stand steadily.

"Big sister, I wasn't bullying your son, I was just chatting with him," the beautiful woman hurriedly explained.

Ji Qingyi let out a cold snort. "I didn't ask you that so you could explain; I asked you to think about how to offer an apology and compensation."

The beautiful woman's eyelids twitched wildly. "I really didn't bully your son."

She looked at Ying Chengfeng and said anxiously, "Kid, tell your mother quickly, I didn't bully you."

"You just said you had your eyes on my roasted meat; do you still dare to say you weren't bullying me?" Ying Chengfeng looked at her with a faint, mocking smile.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman stared blankly at Ying Chengfeng for two seconds before taking a deep breath.

"What do you want?" She finally understood that this matter would require her to pay a price.

Ying Chengfeng said calmly, "Our house needs some renovations; it would be great if you were willing to stay and help."
