The Girl Dongdong Wants to Support Me

[You possess Twin Martial Souls: the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, and have Innate Full Soul Power at level ten.]

[Your teacher is the Pope, Qian Xunji, and the Great Enshrined is Qian Daoliu.]

[You should be preparing for the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament right now, shouldn't you?]

At those words,

a flicker of surprise crossed Young Bibi Dong's bright purple eyes.

He had guessed correctly.

Only some of Spirit Hall's higher-ups knew about her Twin Martial Souls,

so he might be from the future, or he might be someone from Spirit Hall.

She stared at the chat window before her and fell silent for a moment.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Well?]

[I was right, wasn't I?]

[I wasn't lying to you, was I?]

[How old are you now, and what level are you?]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Mm-hmm, you were right. I'm fourteen, preparing for the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, and only level forty-eight so far.]

[What about you? How old are you? What level? You must be a Titled Douluo, or even a god, right?]

She stared at the translucent chat window,

curiosity filling her purple eyes.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: I'm twelve, just a level-eighteen Soul Master. I'm attending a shady academy and doing unpaid work there. Every day, I have to heal other people's injuries and suppress their Evil Fire.]

[I haven't been paid a thing. They order me around and even stop me from leaving the academy!]

[It's miserable!]

[It's practically like being trapped in a scam compound.]

Young Bibi Dong was a little surprised to read that.

Only twelve!

And just a level-eighteen Soul Master!

She had been above level thirty when she was twelve.

Still, she did not doubt him.

After all, they were not in the same time and space.

Lying to her would do him no good.

Besides, he was attending a shady academy, working without pay, and forbidden to leave.

It was practically house arrest.

Wait, what was a scam compound?

She blinked and stared at those words—

[Spirit Hall Saintess: What's a scam compound?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: A place where swindlers gather.]

Li Qiu stared at the chat window, his eyes shifting as he thought:

If I tell her what I'm going through, innocent Young Bibi Dong will probably pity me, right?

Then I can get some Gold Soul Coins and cultivation resources from her,

and grow stronger quickly.

Of course, chatting with Young Bibi Dong more will raise our activity level. Upgrading the chat group can earn me lottery draws, which can also make me stronger.

Then I'll beat Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai to a pulp.

Whenever he saw the contempt in their eyes and the way they looked at him like a servant,

he huffed like an angry bull.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: I see. Then you really have it rough, don't you?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: A little. No Gold Soul Coins, no resources. It's miserable!]

Li Qiu watched the chat window, wanting to see how Young Bibi Dong would react.

Of course, they had only just met. He could not ask her for Gold Soul Coins and resources outright.

That would put her off.

She had to offer them herself.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: I have plenty of resources. I bathe in medicinal liquid every day, receive several thousand Gold Soul Coins each month—more than I can spend at Spirit Hall—and eat Soul Beast meat every day.]

[It's all to increase my Soul Power and strengthen my body.]

[If I could send you some, I'd like to give you Gold Soul Coins, Spirit Medicine, and Soul Beast meat.]

[Though I'm afraid you'd think I was giving you charity and looking down on you.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Me? I don't have much pride. I'm shameless through and through. Sis Dong, could you bury me in Gold Soul Coins, Spirit Medicine, and Soul Beast meat?]

[I don't even know what Soul Beast meat tastes like.]

Seeing young Bibi Dong bring it up,

Li Qiu did not hold back. He went straight for shamelessness.

She had offered. If he refused, she might think he was putting on airs

and might even stop talking to him.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Mm, but how do I send them to you? You aren't from my time and space.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Sis Dongdong, I'll open the cross-time-and-space item transfer. Tap confirm, then place whatever you want to send me on the window. It'll come through.]

Li Qiu immediately opened the cross-time-and-space item transfer in the group chat window.

The next moment, a window resembling a black hole appeared before him.

Young Bibi Dong saw it and took two steps back,

her curiosity piqued.

She blinked her large purple eyes,

her long lashes trembling slightly.

She pursed her lips,

stepped forward,

and reached a soft, fair hand into the black hole.

Her hand went right through it.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Why can't my hand touch anything?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Only items can go through. Living things can't enter.]

Li Qiu smiled at her question.

This young Dongdong was rather adorable.

She even asked about that, curious about everything.

That was how a girl her age should be.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: All right. I'll send you a thousand Gold Soul Coins, five jin of Spirit Medicine to improve your physique and Soul Power, and a large piece of Soul Beast meat.]

[Spirit Medicine: Put one jin in warm water each day and soak for two hours. Your Soul Power will increase twenty percent faster than usual.]

Li Qiu was taken aback when he read that.

How long had they known each other?

Yet she was already giving him Gold Soul Coins, Spirit Medicine, and Soul Beast meat.

That was the innocent, carefree young Dongdong for you.

Before long,

Li Qiu watched a bag of Gold Soul Coins, a bag of Spirit Medicine, and a bag of Soul Beast meat emerge from the black hole and land on his bed.

Everything was neatly packaged.

He promptly placed the items one by one into the system's storage space.

Then he cut off a piece of Soul Beast meat and chatted with Young Bibi Dong as he ate.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Thanks, Sis Dongdong. I'll be counting on you to support me from now on. This Soul Beast meat is delicious—I'm going to eat two jin.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: At level eighteen, you should only eat half a jin a day, or your body won't be able to handle it. Once you've adjusted after three days, you can slowly increase the amount!]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Got it, thanks! You're so thoughtful, Sis Dongdong.]

Li Qiu had not expected her to be so attentive.

He ate half a jin of Soul Beast meat and felt warmth spread through his entire body.

His Soul Power rose rapidly, nourishing every limb and bone,

though he still had some way to go before reaching level nineteen.

Then he looked inward at the Martial Souls in his Martial Soul space.

The Demon Armor Martial Soul floated amid the chaos, radiating an aura that struck terror into the soul.

As for the Ice-Wood Pearl, its Martial Soul Evolution had turned it dark purple.

It looked much like the Heavenly Defiance Pearl.

Now that was interesting.

With a thought, he tried to see whether it had an ability like the Heavenly Defiance Pearl's, such as letting him enter the space inside it.

If so, he could hide there when ambushed.

It would be something like Kamui from that ninja story.

In the next instant, he vanished from the dormitory.

The pearl Martial Soul disappeared too,

as though it had entered the chaos.

His vision blurred, and he found himself in a five-colored space.

It covered roughly a thousand square meters, surrounded on all sides by five-colored chaos.

There was no mysterious old man in here. It was different from the Heavenly Defiance Pearl.

But for Li Qiu, this pearl Martial Soul had evolved quite nicely already.

Could it be a copy of the Heavenly Defiance Pearl?

With another thought, he returned to the dormitory.

He took out the Heavenly Defiance Pearl, poured a bowl of water, and placed the pearl in it.

He wanted to see whether soaking the pearl would produce the same effect as the Heavenly Defiance Pearl, allowing the water to increase his Soul Power when he drank it.

But after soaking it, he drank the water and felt nothing at all.

"System, what's my Martial Soul called now that it's evolved? What can it do?"

He could only ask the system for help.

[Five Elements Pearl. It contains the Five-Element Space. When the host enters the Five-Element Space, the Five Elements Pearl merges with the earth, making it undetectable even to a Peerless Douluo.]

[Spirit Medicine can also be placed in the Five-Element Space. The Five Elements Pearl directly absorbs its medicinal properties and converts them into energy, increasing their effectiveness by ten percent.]

[It also absorbs their medicinal power twice as fast.]
