Lin Feng was taken aback at first.
After giving it some thought, a faint smile appeared on his face.
It seemed he had been overthinking things before.
Was she this unreserved at such a young age?
Though he had no such intentions, there was no harm in enjoying it a little.
Just then.
The instant her nose touched Lin Feng, Dugu Yan's eyes filled with confusion.
As if she had noticed something, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Feng.
At that moment, a warm current welled up in her heart.
Dugu Yan clearly felt that warm current stirring waves of Soul Power within her body.
"Lin Feng, did you feel that?"
Lin Feng was startled. A current seemed to flash through his body, making him shudder.
What was this?
"No, it seems to be Martial Soul Fusion."
He exclaimed in surprise.
Before Lin Feng had even finished speaking.
Two dazzling lights burst forth from their bodies.
A crimson three-headed serpent appeared.
Its body was shrouded in poisonous mist. Its lower half resembled a giant python, while its upper half was as thick as a water vat. Its chest was covered in hard green scales.
The three snake heads were savage and terrifying, with green markings around their cold serpentine eyes.
Dugu Yan's voice sounded from within the three-headed serpent.
"What is this?"
Dugu Yan asked, her face full of shock.
"Dugu Yan, this is Martial Soul Fusion. I never expected the two of us to be able to undergo Martial Soul Fusion."
Lin Feng said joyfully, unable to hold himself back.
After his Blazing Sun Three-Headed Serpent fused with Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
Not only was its defense higher, but its three snake heads could also release poisonous mist at the same time.
Moreover, anyone scorched by the poisonous mist would suffer the corrosion of fire poison, which was extremely difficult to purge.
"Martial Soul Fusion?"
Dugu Yan had heard of it from Dugu Bo before, but she had never actually seen it.
Not only did Martial Soul Fusion enhance the Martial Souls' innate attributes, but the effects of every one of their skills increased geometrically as well.
Out of curiosity.
Dugu Yan tried using her Soul Power to control the three-headed serpent's direction.
The three-headed serpent did not move at all.
"What is going on?"
Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled and increased the Soul Power in her hands once more.
Yet she found that the three-headed serpent still showed no sign of moving.
"Dugu Yan, I have control over the Martial Soul Fusion here."
Seeing her failed attempts, Lin Feng could not help but laugh.
Dugu Yan was somewhat displeased upon hearing Lin Feng's words.
"Lin Feng, give me control."
Dugu Yan was overjoyed after receiving control.
She controlled the three-headed serpent, having it crawl through the mountains one moment and glide across the lake the next.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng quietly watched her from within the three-headed serpent.
Just as Dugu Yan was having the time of her life.
A flash of light vanished in an instant.
Their Soul Power was exhausted, and the Martial Soul Fusion broke apart.
Chapter 7: Lin Feng, You Are My Best Friend
"I never thought you and I could undergo Martial Soul Fusion. So my intuition was right."
"That feeling just now was our Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Dugu Yan said between pants as she slumped onto a rock.
"But Lin Feng, when the two of us underwent Martial Soul Fusion, why could I clearly sense that your Soul Power wasn't merely level five?"
After some thought, Lin Feng decided not to hide his Soul Power Level from Dugu Yan.
"Yes, my Innate Soul Power isn't actually level five."
"But this is one of my secrets. Can you keep it for me?"
He smiled at Dugu Yan.
"Mm! I'll definitely keep it secret!"
Dugu Yan nodded firmly and patted her chest with confidence.
At the same time, a surge of warmth rose in her heart.
Dugu Yan thought to herself.
Is Lin Feng trusting me?
After spending most of the day with Lin Feng.
She had long regarded him as the first friend she had ever made in her life.
Being trusted by a friend felt wonderful.
"Lin Feng, what do you think our Martial Soul Fusion should be called?"
"Hmm... how about Jade Phosphor Serpent?"
"Your Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, and mine is the Blazing Sun Three-Headed Serpent. Put together, Jade Phosphor Serpent fits perfectly."
"Ah! Great name! That's what we'll call it."
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she immediately made the decision.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent! I have a Martial Soul Fusion now, hahaha."
Grrrrr~~~
As she laughed, Dugu Yan's stomach rumbled.
"Lin Feng, I'm hungry."
Dugu Yan, still seated, said to Lin Feng beside her.
"Come on, let's go eat at the cafeteria."
Lin Feng replied with a smile.
After spending half a day together, Dugu Yan's attitude toward him had changed quite a bit.
Lin Feng thought to himself.
They pushed open the restaurant doors.
A splendid crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.
The antique wooden tables and chairs, the small and exquisite bar counter—everything radiated an aristocratic air.
The dazzling array of food in the serving area was overwhelming, and its fragrance filled the air.
There were not only precious wild fruits of all kinds, but also countless varieties of roasted millennium Soul Beast meat.
For a moment, Dugu Yan was at a loss as she looked at the food around her.
"I want to eat this too, and that too. What should I do?"
Dugu Yan furrowed her brows, looking conflicted.
Lin Feng watched as Dugu Yan's gaze darted from one dish to another.
So he simply ordered some of every dish her eyes had lingered on.
"Why is it so expensive? This little bit of food costs a hundred Gold Soul Coins."
When the bill was handed to them, Dugu Yan exclaimed in shock.
Though Dugu Yan did not often go out and did not know the value of what she had ordered.
She knew in her heart that one hundred Gold Soul Coins was no small sum.
Lin Feng merely smiled and paid the bill immediately.
As the son of a count, this amount of money was little more than pocket change to him.
If he ever did run short of money, he would not hesitate to seek out his second uncle.
The food was served.
"Delicious."
Dugu Yan stuffed her mouth full of food.
With puffed cheeks, she smiled at Lin Feng as she spoke.
Although Dugu Yan ate quickly.
She still maintained the manners of a proper young lady.
When she was halfway through the meal.
Seeing that she could not finish the food on the table.
She finally stared at the Soul Beast meat on the plate and stuffed a few more pieces into her mouth.
Lin Feng could only smile wryly.
Was this child the reincarnation of a starving ghost or something?
Instead of eating the rare wild fruits beside her that replenished Soul Power without filling her stomach, she was fixated on the meat before her.
When he was young, Lin Feng's Father had told him.
Roasted Soul Beast meat was not particularly nutritious; it was only good for its taste.
"Burp~"
Dugu Yan was full and satisfied, continuously rubbing her stomach in circles with her palm.
"Lin Feng, after spending today with you."
"I realized that besides my grandfather, you're the only person who has ever treated me this well."
"No—no, that's not right."
"When it comes to food, you're even better than Grandpa."
"Today's Soul Beast meat was really, really delicious."
Holding her stomach, Dugu Yan looked at Lin Feng with a touch of emotion in her eyes.
"Have you never eaten Soul Beast meat before?"
Lin Feng looked utterly astonished, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
