Caihong, Second Martial Soul, Rainbow Body

She didn't usually bother with grooming, but when she dressed up, she was absolute perfection.

Wife, you must say yes.

Gu Yuena rubbed her hands together.

She picked up the ninety-nine Dragon Longing Flowers bound together on the ground.

Without rushing forward, she walked up to a tree and began demonstrating very earnestly.

"Ninety-nine Dragon Longing Flowers represent eternity, staying together for a lifetime, and steadfast, unshakeable love."

After finishing, Gu Yuena always felt something was missing.

It was missing the courage she had shown for her wife.

When confessing downstairs in the dormitory, she looked at her wife's handsome face back then, feeling her heart race like a startled fawn.

She hoped this time wouldn't fail, and that her wife would definitely accept her love.

Brewing her courage until it was just right, Gu Yuena held the Dragon Longing Flowers and returned to the spot.

Di Tian was still keeping watch, and hearing footsteps approach, he turned to look.

Her Majesty had dressed up exceptionally prettily, and she was holding ninety-nine Dragon Longing Flowers in her hands?

Her Majesty was really going all out this time.

"Di Tian, how is Yifeng's absorption going?"

"Your Majesty, the Matriarch's absorption is proceeding very smoothly, and the rainbow in the sky is about to be completely absorbed."

Di Tian reported everything faithfully, and during the absorption process, the Rainbow Power almost completely enveloped Shen Yifeng.

Gu Yuena listened with great delight.

Her wife was simply amazing.

At that moment, Shen Yifeng had already broken through to level twenty-six.

So much rainbow energy—it felt too incredible.

It was the first time he had ever felt this good.

Soon,

the nine rainbows in the sky were completely absorbed by Shen Yifeng, and his body seemed to have tripped some kind of switch.

The accumulated Rainbow Power poured out at this exact moment, scouring Shen Yifeng's bones and meridians.

His body now began to transform into seven colors, with every inch of skin, every bone, and every drop of blood turning into a surge of power.

Caught in a daze, Shen Yifeng was still feeling this formidable power.

This reminded him of what Su Yuntao had told him about the massive power within his body needing to be awakened.

Absorbing the Rainbow Power had directly unlocked this power completely.

This power... was a Martial Soul!

A second Martial Soul!

So his second Martial Soul was a Body Martial Soul.

It wasn't an external object possessing him, but his very own physical body; the skin, bones, and blood from just a moment ago had all transformed into a part of his Martial Soul.

This was a pleasant surprise. With the appearance of a second Martial Soul, he was by no means just a support-system Soul Master.

When the time came, whichever Soul Master dared to look down on him in a match, he would put on an act and trick them good.

"What is this?"

Gu Yuena was nearly worried sick.

Wife, wife, what's wrong with you?

Sob, wife, you can't be hurt, I cannot live without you.

"Your Majesty, the Matriarch is fine. Everything is normal."

Bi Ji investigated for a moment, finding Shen Yifeng's constitution completely normal.

"That's good. You scared me to death."

Gu Yuena patted her chest.

"You really scared me."

Di Tian and Zi Ji similarly let out sighs of relief.

As dragons, they were extremely worried about their Matriarch. An Matriarch who had been so benevolent in her past life absolutely could not come to harm.

"Di Tian, when I confess later, you all must scatter the petals representing love. It has to be grand, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Di Tian nodded in guarantee.

Xiong Jun and Scarlet King sat to one side as brothers.

"Xiong Jun, remember to bring back more next time. I've noticed you're especially good at eating; the things you pick out are all delicious."

Scarlet King was extremely satisfied with Xiong Jun's selections.

"No problem. Just for those words, I'll bring back more next time."

Xiong Jun still quite enjoyed exchanging culinary tips with Scarlet King.

Since Scarlet King had to protect the Auspicious Beast, it was naturally impossible for him to leave his post without authorization.

After discussing everything,

the seven-colored light on Shen Yifeng's body slowly faded, his skin returned to its normal fair tone, and the remodeling of his bones and meridians was completely finished.

Gu Yuena hurriedly waved her hand:

"Quickly hide yourselves, don't get caught."

Di Tian and the others instantly vanished into the brush, leaving behind only the petals Bi Ji had quietly prepared.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, hid the Dragon Longing Flowers behind her, and walked with quick strides up to Shen Yifeng.

"Yifeng, are you alright? How was the absorption?"

"Extremely good."

Shen Yifeng stretched his limbs, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body.

"I shot straight to level twenty-six. After meditating for two nights back, I should be able to break through to level twenty-seven."

"And I've awakened a second Martial Soul, a Body Martial Soul."

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up: "Really? That's wonderful!"

His wife had awakened a second Martial Soul, and today she was going to confess her love herself—it was simply a double blessing.

She paused, nervously tidying her hair, and asked in a low voice:

"Then... am I pretty today?"

Shen Yifeng was startled for a moment, and looked her over carefully.

Her long silver hair was neatly combed, the ends curling slightly, her face flushed with a faint blush, and her eyes as bright as stars.

"Very pretty."

He answered truthfully.

Gu Yuena's heart raced instantly.

This was the exact answer she had been waiting for.

She suddenly took a step back, dropped to one knee, pulled the bouquet of ninety-nine Dragon Longing Flowers from behind her, and held them up before Shen Yifeng.

"Shen Yifeng, I love you. Will you be my one and only?"

The moment her voice fell,

pink petals drifted down from the sky in a flurry, landing on the two of them.

Gu Yuena looked all the more bashful.

Her wife was truly so handsome.

Having absorbed the Rainbow Power, his skin looked even better, and his figure seemed even straighter and taller than before.

The fresh fragrance of the ninety-nine Dragon Longing Flowers mixed with the scent of post-rain earth, permeating the air.

Gu Yuena boldly lifted her chin, looking at Shen Yifeng with bright, shining eyes, her palms and the backs of her hands slick with sweat.

It was in the bag.

She chanted inwardly.

In the hidden brush,

Di Tian nodded with satisfaction, Zi Ji covered her mouth with a chuckle, and Bi Ji prayed with her hands clasped together.

Xiong Jun almost shouted out in excitement before Scarlet King clamped a hand over his mouth.

Everyone felt certain that Her Majesty would definitely succeed this time.

Shen Yifeng looked at Gu Yuena kneeling on one knee, then at the fluttering petals dancing across the sky, and froze.

He fell silent for a few seconds.

Gu Yuena's smile stiffened bit by bit on her face.

"Gu Yuena." Shen Yifeng finally spoke, his tone very serious, "You're a good person."

Gu Yuena:?

No, something was wrong.

This line shouldn't have appeared.

"But we are too young, and now is not the time to be in relationships."

"We should focus on cultivation. We can talk about it later when our strength is greater."

With that, he reached out to help Gu Yuena up, gently pushing the flowers back toward her.

The air fell instantly quiet.

The petals still drifted all over the sky, yet it all felt exceptionally awkward.

Gu Yuena stood holding the Dragon Longing Flowers, utterly dumbfounded.

The card for a good person?

She had actually received a good person card from her wife?

And using being too young as the excuse?

In the hidden brush,

with a loud thud,

Xiong Jun failed to keep his footing and tumbled to the ground.

The smile completely vanished from Di Tian's face as he froze in place.

Zi Ji and Bi Ji looked at each other, their faces written over with sheer disbelief.

Her Majesty had actually been handed a good person card.

If word of this got out, the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest could laugh for ten thousand years.

Gu Yuena felt heartbreak beyond measure within her soul.

No!

If there were music playing right now, there ought to be a line about snow fluttering and the north wind wailing.

Yifeng, why are you rejecting me? Sob, sob, I'm so heartbroken.
