Happy Times with Qian Renxue

"Besides their own Martial Soul, sword cultivators actually had many other methods at their disposal, but they required extremely high talent. These included Sword Qi, Sword Momentum..."

Mu Chen then roughly repeated what Sword Douluo had taught him to Qian Renxue, mixing in some of his own cultivation insights.

Qian Renxue kept nodding, as though the doors to a whole new world had opened before her. From time to time, she asked Mu Chen how he trained.

Although the Angel Martial Soul's primary methods did not lie in the sword itself, but rather in her Angel Divine Power.

The two of them continued chatting, while Qian Renxue turned into a "curious baby," constantly talking with Mu Chen.

Before they knew it, Mu Chen and Qian Renxue had talked for nearly half a shichen.

"So, Little Chen, your talent really is exceptional.

You have Innate Full Soul Power, and at only eight years old, you're already a level 23 Soul Grandmaster.

You also possess an External Soul Bone and such a powerful second Soul Skill, while your second soul ring has even reached the thousand-year level.

But Little Chen, you must remember not to casually reveal secrets like these, or you could easily run into danger." Qian Renxue looked at Mu Chen and sighed. Spirit Hall's intelligence had never mentioned such a genius Soul Master as Mu Chen, but if it were that vicious woman...

For unknown genius Soul Masters, there were only two choices: recruit them for oneself or destroy them!

"Big Sister Xue'er is amazing too. You're only fifteen, yet you're already practically a Soul King. Your Martial Soul is powerful, and most importantly, you're extremely, extremely beautiful." Mu Chen smiled at Qian Renxue.

"You little flirt. By the way, with talent as good as yours, I have a place I can recommend to you. You could cultivate to even greater heights there.

You would receive more cultivation resources and a better platform." Qian Renxue tentatively tried to recruit him.

"Are you talking about Spirit Hall?" Mu Chen asked as he looked at Qian Renxue.

"Mm. Spirit Hall's influence spans the entire continent, and it controls more than sixty percent of the continent's Soul Masters. It is an overlord in the world of Soul Masters.

If you're willing, you and your teacher can both join Spirit Hall. I can guarantee that Spirit Hall would welcome you wholeheartedly," Qian Renxue said.

"Well...

Grrr~"

Mu Chen's stomach suddenly growled, and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.

"Well, I'm hungry too, but do you know how to cook? I don't," Qian Renxue said, blushing slightly. Now that she thought about it, she was hungry as well.

But for someone old enough to be an older sister, not knowing how to cook was rather embarrassing. It seemed she had truly never learned such things before. Those were matters for Spirit Hall's servants.

Other than cultivation, Spirit Hall's grand cause, and her grandfather, she seemed never to have paid attention to anything else.

"Of course I can cook. You should know that I'm practically a godly chef!" Mu Chen declared grandly.

"Then let's go out and find some ingredients first, Big Sister Xue'er."

Mu Chen spoke as his internal injuries still remained, though they no longer affected him much. Going out to catch some fish should not be a problem.

"Alright~"

Qian Renxue did not know why she had said so much to a child she had only known for a few hours. After all, she had never spoken with anyone her own age in Spirit Hall.

Perhaps her Martial Soul and talent had made her overly proud, causing her to look down on all her peers. Mu Chen's talent, however, gave him the qualifications, confidence, and appeal to speak with her.

Or perhaps she was not someone who cared about things beyond strength and benefits. She only wanted to cultivate desperately, prove herself to that woman, and not waste time on others.

Or perhaps those people could not give her what she needed. What she had lacked since childhood might have closed off her emotions.

"Big Sister Xue'er, look, look!

Isn't this fish nice and plump?"

Mu Chen held a branch with a live fish around twenty centimeters long pierced through it, still flapping from time to time.

"Mm, Little Chen, I found some of the seasonings you asked me for. I also found some mushrooms. They looked pretty, but I didn't know whether they were edible, so I brought them all back."

Qian Renxue took out ginger, garlic, and other ingredients from her Soul Tool, along with quite a few palm-sized red "mushrooms."

For some reason, seeing Mu Chen's sincere smile and cheerful expression made Qian Renxue smile as well. Perhaps this was what she had always lacked.

"Uh, well... Big Sister Xue'er, those are poisonous. You can't eat them.

And they're the highly toxic kind. After eating them, we'd be lying flat on wooden boards." Mu Chen could not help but laugh.

He could not expect too much from Qian Renxue, who had clearly never done any household work. The fact that she could recognize those seasonings was already quite impressive.

"Huh?

What are you laughing at, you little brat!"

Qian Renxue felt unable to save face and stomped her foot.

As a dignified divine maiden, she had embarrassed herself in front of this little brat so many times! Mu Chen then paused. Seeing Qian Renxue's adorable appearance made his heart race even more.

Alright, he was sure now. Love at first sight!

Mu Chen tossed the branch onto the shore, then splashed water with both hands.

Caught off guard by Mu Chen's attack, Qian Renxue's palace dress was somewhat soaked, while the golden hair on her forehead clung to her delicate skin.

Qian Renxue froze at first. After reacting and hesitating for a moment, she actually took off her shoes and jumped into the water.

The two began a water battle, splashing each other.

"Big Sister Xue'er, we were just playing in the water. Why did you get mad and start hitting me?"

Mu Chen looked at Qian Renxue aggrievedly. They had been having fun at first, but later Qian Renxue had actually pounced on him and given him a beating.

Qian Renxue, still warming herself by the fire, gave Mu Chen a smug glance and pouted. "So what!"

Seeing Mu Chen's "aggrieved" expression, Qian Renxue unexpectedly felt great pleasure. Could bullying this little brat really make her feel so good? "I wouldn't dare say anything..." Seeing Qian Renxue reveal her true nature for the first time, Mu Chen suddenly shrank his head back. Seeing that the grilled fish before them was ready, he took it down himself and smiled as he handed it to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue accepted it directly. Looking at the fragrant grilled fish before her, its surface roasted to a rich golden color, it certainly looked quite appetizing.

Qian Renxue took a light bite. Feeling the fish's tenderness and aroma, she nodded. To be honest, even those food-type Soul Masters from Spirit Hall could not make grilled fish this delicious.

"Big Sister Xue'er, it's tasty, right? I'm a god-tier chef, after all."

Mu Chen took a bite too. Fortunately, he had not messed it up. Otherwise, it would have been rather embarrassing in front of the girl he liked.

"It's alright. Little Chen, it's already dark outside. Are we planning to spend the night here?" Qian Renxue asked after glancing outside.

"Mm, I think it's best if we stay here for the night. We're already close to the core region of Sunset Forest.

There are quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts around, and our vision would be greatly affected. If we ran into an encirclement of soul beasts, I'd be in trouble. Your Soul Power probably isn't enough for you to fly straight out either, right?

Big Sister Xue'er, you wouldn't fly away alone and leave me here, would you~"

Mu Chen looked at Qian Renxue pitifully, as though she were a woman about to abandon her man. Qian Renxue could only roll her eyes at the little fellow.

"Alright, stop pretending. I'll stay here tonight. You're such a drama queen."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she took another fierce bite of the grilled fish in her hand, as though she were biting Mu Chen instead.

I passed Level Four after all, so I won't have to take College English 3...
