Upon hearing Jun Yi's words, Dugu Yan finally reacted, put her legs off the chair, slipped on her shoes, and began to straighten her body. Dugu Yan's pretty face grew increasingly hot.
"I'll put it on you."
Jun Yi came behind the chair, gently stroking Dugu Yan's hair with both hands, and softly placed the necklace around Dugu Yan neck. Once the necklace was fully around Dugu Yan's slender neck, he channeled his Soul Power into it. The necklace instantly emitted a dazzling seven-colored light, and dragon-head armor instantly enveloped Dugu Yan's body. At the same time, a faint seven-colored light flowed across the surface of the armor. The armor on Dugu Yan was different from the armor on Jun Yi. When Jun Yi wore armor, he exuded more Haki, while Dugu Yan wore armor with a touch more elegance and nobility.
Jun Yi walked up to Dugu Yan and carefully examined Dugu Yan. She was even more captivating in her armor, but her exquisitely beautiful face still made Jun Yi admire her repeatedly. Dugu Yan was tall and slender with fair and smooth skin. Her short, glossy black hair made her look so capable, and her brows exuded a heroic spirit, like a valiant female general on the battlefield.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, Sister Yanyan. It's a good thing I'm still a teenager. If it were a normal man, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist," Jun Yi teased with a smile.
"Get lost, you little pervert! All you do all day is think about nonsense. If you think I'm pretty, just say I'm pretty. You don't need to say that next part." Dugu Yan stood up from her chair, slightly pursed her lips, and glared at Jun Yi.
"But this armor looks really strong. I heard you say earlier that it can withstand several full-force attacks from low-level Soul Emperor. Is that true?"
Dugu Yan asked Jun Yi in disbelief. Although she felt that the armor was very strong, she did not expect it to be so powerful. Moreover, what surprised her the most was that the armor was actually formed by Soul Power. It could be retracted by simply pressing the dragon head on the chest plate. This function was too incredible and completely beyond Dugu Yan's understanding.
"Really, as long as your Soul Power is sufficient, you can even withstand an attack from a high-level Soul Emperor," Jun Yi said to Dugu Yan.
In fact, this Soul Tool is basically the strongest Defensive Soul Tool Jun Yi can create. The reason he was able to create it in such a short time is because Jun Yi has practiced and modified it countless times. After all, when Jun Yi was learning to make Soul Tool, the system reminded him that the inscription of the Defense-Model Soul Tool array is the most basic and important part. Therefore, Jun Yi spent several times more time and effort on this than on ordinary Soul Tool. It is also fortunate that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is rich enough to provide Jun Yi with enough materials to make it and to train his abilities.
"It's truly amazing." Dugu Yan said, placing her hand on the dragon's head, intending to remove the armor, but found that the armor did not budge and showed no sign of retracting.
"Huh, what's going on?" Dugu Yan patted the dragon head a few more times, but still couldn't disarm it. She looked up at Jun Yi, Jun Yi understood Dugu Yan thoughts and shook his head with a smile. "It's not that pressing the dragon head armor will retract it, but rather that the Core Array of this Soul Tool is inside the dragon head. You just need to release the Soul Power I injected into it, and the armor will disarm."
"Oh!"
Dugu Yan nodded and placed her hand on the dragon's head again, sensing the Core Array within. Sure enough, a powerful Soul Power was slowly surging within it, while at its end, a relatively weaker Soul Power was on the outer edge of the array, seemingly urging the powerful Soul Power to operate the array. She activated her own Soul Power, releasing the weaker array, and the seven-colored light on the armor instantly dissipated, turning into specks of fluorescence that disappeared into the air.
Dugu Yan watched as her armor dissipated, leaving only the necklace inlaid with a diamond-shaped metal. The necklace was silver, crystal clear, and shimmered with dazzling seven-colored light. On the back of the diamond-shaped metal, a giant dragon roaring to the sky was faintly carved, lifelike in the sunlight.
"Oh dear, I'm a bit tired from forging in a while." With that, Jun Yi waved his hand, extinguishing the flames in the furnace. He then returned all the items to their original positions, pulled up another chair, and sat down.
Dugu Yan, meanwhile, kept playing with the Soul Tool, constantly injecting and releasing Soul Power. This thing was so novel that it aroused her playfulness.
Jun Yi didn't stop her, but quietly sat beside Dugu Yan. When Dugu Yan had played with it for a while, she pulled up her chair and sat down next to Jun Yi.
"Thank you, Little Brother Jun. This thing is truly amazing, I really love it." Dugu Yan said with a sweet smile, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.
"I'm glad you like it. So, what are you planning to give me as a gift Sister Yanyan?" Jun Yi asked Dugu Yan with a smile.
Jun Yi's question caught Dugu Yan off guard, leaving her feeling somewhat at a loss for words and unsure how to answer Jun Yi.
"Haha, just kidding, why would I accept Sister Yanyan's gift?" With that, Jun Yi closed his eyes, recalling the minor mistakes and remedial measures that had occurred while making the Soul Tool.
Dugu Yan stared quietly at Jun Yi's handsome face, thinking about how she had undergone earth-shattering changes since meeting him. He not only cured her and her grandfather's poison, but also greatly improved her Soul Power, and even her innate talent had improved significantly. Jun Yi had only taken a few herbs from her grandfather's herb garden and had never asked them for anything else. Now, he had even given her such a precious Soul Tool.
Thinking this, Dugu Yan made up her mind and kissed Jun Yi's cheek. At this moment, Jun Yi, who was thinking with his eyes closed, only felt a warm touch on his right cheek. Jun Yi immediately opened his eyes, and the warm touch faded away. He saw Dugu Yan lowering her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes filled with panic.
"Well, I don't have any gifts to give you, so consider what I did just now a reward." With that, Dugu Yan lowered her head even further.
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Jun Yi paused for a moment, then touched the spot where Dugu Yan had just touched him, a lovesick smile spreading across his face. He then coughed lightly twice and said, "Um Sister Yanyan, could you grant me one more request?"
"What request?" Dugu Yan raised her head and looked at Jun Yi with some nervousness.
Jun Yi pointed to his mouth and said with a smile, "Could you give this side a reward too?"
