Crack!

A faint sound of a barrier shattering echoed deep within his consciousness.

She Xian felt his mind suddenly go blank.

His once-chaotic sea of consciousness abruptly expanded outward without end.

Vast, boundless spiritual power rippled with layers of golden waves, transforming into an endless ocean.

His spiritual sea had truly been opened!

With a thought from She Xian,

his spiritual body took form and stepped into this spiritual forbidden ground that belonged solely to him.

Within this once-empty spiritual sea, two breathtakingly beautiful figures of entirely different bearing were currently seated within it.

Sensing the arrival of She Xian's spiritual body, Medusa Queen slowly opened her narrow, proud, multicolored eyes and coolly appraised him.

"Your soul power has improved quite a bit."

Medusa Queen withdrew her gaze. Her cold, alluring voice, carrying the authority of one in power, echoed through the sea of consciousness.

"However, human brat, don't think opening a spiritual sea means you can strut around in front of me."

"Stay put and don't come over to disturb me while I refine the medicinal power, or else..."

The unfinished threat was unmistakably clear.

She Xian gave an awkward smile and nodded repeatedly, wisely choosing to comply.

Couldn't afford to provoke her, couldn't afford to provoke her.

Though this ruthless woman had now become his martial soul, her proud and bloodthirsty temperament clearly had not changed.

"Hubby!"

A tender, affectionate call came through the void.

A flash of white light streaked through the air, plunging into She Xian's embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.

A sweet, refreshing fragrance washed over him as a soft, warm body fell into his arms.

Little White tightly hugged She Xian's spiritual body, rubbing her delicate little face against his chest again and again. Even her eyes had misted over with a thin layer of joyful tears.

"Hubby, I can truly touch you within the spiritual sea now, too."

Little White smiled so brightly that her eyes curved into crescents.

Her soft, sweet voice and warm, delicate body made She Xian tremble slightly all over.

In short—this felt incredible!

Still, She Xian was not the sort to lose his head over beauty.

Especially not over a little girl.

Suppressing the flutter in his heart, he asked seriously, "Little White, did the absorption of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass soul ring succeed?"

"Of course it did!"

Little White lifted her head from his arms, pride gleaming in her beautiful eyes.

"Not only that, Hubby, try sensing your second soul skill," Little White added gently.

She Xian focused his senses, and information about his second soul skill immediately surfaced in his mind.

Second Soul Skill: Mystic Ice Condensing Serpent

The water element condensed into up to nine Mystic Water Serpents, possessing exceptional healing abilities as well as effects that healed wounds and neutralized poison.

The ice element condensed into up to nine Mystic Ice Serpents, possessing tremendous forward attack power and coordinated tracking abilities.

After reading the soul skill's information, She Xian frowned slightly.

It could fight and heal; it sounded fairly versatile.

But according to the usual logic of Douluo Continent,

trying to heal and attack at once often meant neither ability would be outstanding.

Its burst power seemed somewhat lacking.

Seeing She Xian's hesitation, Little White covered her mouth and chuckled, her crisp laughter as pleasant as silver bells.

"Hubby, are you dissatisfied with this soul skill?"

"A little."

She Xian did not hide his thoughts.

"It feels too all-purpose. It lacks the ruthless force to finish someone in one blow."

Little White leaned close to his ear, her breath fragrant as orchids.

"Don't worry, Hubby."

"This soul skill might be mediocre in someone else's hands, but in mine, it is entirely different."

"How so?"

"I can directly take control of all nine Mystic Water Serpents and Mystic Ice Serpents through my own soul avatars!"

Wisdom glimmered in Little White's beautiful eyes.

"In other words, as long as Hubby activates the soul skill, I can use these spirit snake avatars to cast all sorts of spells!"

"At that point, they will no longer be ordinary constructs of water and ice. They will be nine spirit snake avatars capable of casting spells, attacking, and defending!"

The instant he heard that, She Xian's eyes lit up!

He had originally thought he would merely summon nine little snakes to bite people or heal injuries.

But Little White could use them directly, turning the nine snakes into her spellcasting avatars!

"Little White, you're practically a treasure trove!"

Overjoyed, She Xian tightened his embrace around Little White.

Little White's cheeks flushed slightly at the praise, her beautiful eyes brimming with sweetness.

"As long as I can help Hubby, I am more than happy."

"Besides, Hubby, the surprises you gave me don't stop there."

"There's another surprise?" She Xian raised a brow.

Little White nodded heavily, her expression gradually turning serious. "The instant I finished absorbing this six-thousand-year soul ring, I awakened another brand-new talent!"

"What talent?" She Xian's gaze immediately blazed.

The Water Vein Affinity talent Little White had awakened not long ago had already astonished her, yet she had awakened another talent.

Little White took a deep breath and softly spoke four words. "This talent is called White Snake Bearing Ganoderma."

She explained gently, "This talent has two effects."

"First, a passive effect: whenever Hubby personally kills a soul beast, the chance of a soul bone dropping will increase!"

"Second, an active effect: with a one-year cooldown, the next soul beast Hubby kills is guaranteed to drop a soul bone!"

Guaranteed! Soul! Bone! Drop!

Boom!

She Xian's eyes widened.

In this world of Douluo Continent, what did soul bones represent?

They were priceless treasures that countless Titled Douluo dreamed of obtaining!

Yet soul bones had an extremely low drop rate.

And Little White's talent guaranteed one soul bone every year, while also increasing the normal drop rate.

What kind of soul skill talent was this?

She had practically transformed this continent's awful drop system into the ultimate private-server rates!

If he obtained one each year, he could gather soul bones for all six body parts in just six years.

And he could even choose the soul beasts most suitable for him.

Give me the cheat!

She Xian could not help shouting in his heart.

Seeing She Xian's utterly stunned expression, Little White let out a sweet laugh like silver bells.

Being able to help Hubby left her completely fulfilled.

Just as the two of them were being all lovey-dovey, with the atmosphere perfectly warm,

"Quiet!"

A cold snort laden with killing intent and extreme impatience shattered the pleasant atmosphere.

Medusa Queen slowly opened her eyes, raging fury burning within those narrow, captivating multicolored pupils.

She coldly swept her gaze over the two pressed tightly together. Her long, snow-white hand clenched slightly as anger radiated around her.

"If you want to be lovey-dovey, get outside and do it!"

Medusa Queen shot Little White a fierce glare and said coldly, "Stupid snake, stop acting so pathetically!"

"All day long, it's 'Hubby this, Hubby that.' My ears are about to grow calluses from hearing it!"

Little White shrank back after being scolded, yet she still muttered unwillingly, "But I am Hubby's wife. If Big Sister is jealous, she can join us too..."

"You're courting death?!"

Medusa Queen's beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, and vast ferocious might instantly swept outward.

She Xian's mouth twitched.

Seeing that Medusa Queen was truly about to lose her temper, Little White hurriedly squeezed She Xian's hand and gently transmitted her voice, "Hubby, there is movement outside."

"Your Teacher Qian and your grandfather seem to have both awakened."

She Xian's heart jolted.

Teacher Qian Renxue and Grandpa had awakened?

It seemed about time outside as well.

"Got it." She Xian winked at Little White.

Little White smiled sweetly and gently pushed him with her fair, jade-like hand. "Go, Hubby. Don't keep them waiting too long."

A gentle force pushed against him, and She Xian's spiritual body instantly scattered into specks of light.
