Chapter 113: Gift of Soul Bone
"This is too precious. Pei Qing has already saved my life. How can I accept such a soul bone? I should wait until I've made contributions in the future."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was startled when Pei Qing directly gave him a soul bone without a word. He quickly bowed to refuse.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had grown accustomed to hard times under Bibi Dong's command, had never seen someone as extravagant as Pei Qing. He was completely stunned.
"If I tell you to take it, then take it. A dignified Title Douluo only having one soul bone is a joke."
"Alright, it's just a fifty-thousand-year soul bone. Elder Ju will receive other rewards when he makes contributions in the future."
Pei Qing, without explanation, directly shoved the soul bone into Chrysanthemum Douluo's hand. It was just a fifty-thousand-year soul bone; he had no patience to argue with Chrysanthemum Douluo here.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo left the hall, his muddled mind hadn't even processed it. He just stared blankly at the soul bone in the lead box in his hand, his emotions very complex.
This was the difference in serving a master. He had worked diligently for Bibi Dong for so many years, gaining no benefits but instead often being reprimanded by her, and even ultimately being abandoned.
But now, having just followed His Highness and Pei Qing, he had just started and hadn't even done anything, yet he directly received a soul bone of such perfect quality and appearance.
The difference was simply indescribable.
It's not worth it, truly not worth it!
After Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Qian Renxue turned to look at Pei Qing, her eyes instantly turning dangerous.
"Who is that girl you brought back?"
"It's one thing to have so many girls around you at Heaven Dou Academy, but now you're not even willing to hide it, are you? You brought her directly home!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth as she looked at Pei Qing, her gaze wishing she could press him to the ground and give him a good beating right now.
"Xue'er, listen to my explanation. It's not what you think!"
"You might not believe it, but that girl Mingli is a Soul Beast, completely different from our race. I have no relationship with her."
Pei Qing quickly explained Di Mingli's identity to Qian Renxue in full detail. He felt there was no need to hide such a matter from her.
Di Mingli's safety was assured with Bi Ji, so he didn't need to worry at all. Qian Renxue was arguably the person he cared about most on the Douluo Continent, so there was no need to deliberately hide this. Moreover, Qian Renxue was reasonable and wouldn't act foolishly regarding important matters.
"So, that powerful individual behind you is also a Soul Beast?"
Qian Renxue's expression was very strange. She found it a bit hard to understand, and also a bit worried. After all, Pei Qing was human. Would these Soul Beasts, who were helping so wholeheartedly, have some hidden conspiracy in the end?
"That's right, Bi Ji's true form is an Emerald Phoenix, and her cultivation has surpassed five hundred thousand years. Even our grandfather might not be her match."
Of course, this was assuming Qian Daoliu didn't use his Angel God power and the Angelic Sacred Sword. If he did, then Pei Qing would retract that statement!
Qian Renxue's red lips slightly parted, finding it hard to believe. She couldn't quite accept it; in her understanding, the highest level for a Soul Beast was only one hundred thousand years. Now, suddenly, even five hundred thousand years had appeared, completely shattering her worldview.
"That's truly astonishing news, but do we not need to be wary of them? After all, no matter what, they are Soul Beasts?"
Qian Renxue was still a bit worried. There was nothing wrong with mutual benefit with Soul Beasts; she was just concerned about Pei Qing's safety.
"There's no need for that. Sometimes, Soul Beasts are more trustworthy than humans!"
"Moreover, if people don't betray me, I won't betray them!"
Many of Pei Qing's resources came from the Star Dou Great Forest. The Soul Beast Clan had been incredibly helpful. If he were to truly turn a blind eye, it would be a matter of his character. Pei Qing was unwilling to do so and would not do so.
"In that case, alright, I won't say anything more!"
Qian Renxue nodded. Although she was still somewhat worried internally, she was willing to respect Pei Qing's decision.
Seeing Qian Renxue nod, Pei Qing actively reached out and hugged her, speaking softly.
"I made you worry!"
"As long as you're safe, I won't blame you no matter how much you make me worry."
Qian Renxue buried her head in Pei Qing's chest, her face slightly flushed as she spoke softly.
Pei Qing chuckled softly, then, with a wave of his hand, many soul bones immediately fell out.
They directly covered the table in the hall, radiating brilliant, colorful light, instantly enveloping the hall in the glow emitted by the soul bones.
"This is?"
Looking at the sheer number of soul bones before her, Qian Renxue, despite being well-informed since childhood, was so shocked that she couldn't utter another word.
Just these soul bones alone, if even one were to circulate, could cause two empires to erupt into conflict and war. Yet, there were dozens of such treasures right before her.
Among them, she even saw two one-hundred-thousand-year soul bones. One-hundred-thousand-year soul bones! These were simply priceless treasures, the kind that could serve as guardian artifacts even in Spirit Hall, completely different from ordinary soul bones.
"These are some soul bones I obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest. Xue'er, see if there are any you want. Although you might not use them, if the subordinates or the Elder grandfathers can use them, just send them over."
This was only a portion; Pei Qing still had many more in his soul guidance device, so he wouldn't feel any heartache at all.
Qian Renxue glared at him. She felt that Pei Qing was becoming increasingly extravagant. He wanted to give so many soul bones to his subordinates. It was fine to give one occasionally to show his generosity, but giving so many away was a waste!
Besides, these were only a few dozen. When she and Pei Qing had children in the future, they might not even have enough.
"I'll pick a few for the grandfathers, and you keep the rest of the soul bones yourself. No matter how many things we have, we can't waste them."
Pei Qing nodded, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Qian Renxue.
Soon, she picked out six soul bones of perfect quality and appearance, and then Pei Qing put all these soul bones away.
After all this was done, Pei Qing and Qian Renxue went to the secret room to begin their Martial Soul Fusion cultivation.
Because of the Martial Soul Fusion, their cultivation speed would greatly increase when they cultivated together.
Over the next few days, Pei Qing and Qian Renxue did not emerge from the room until the golden Six-Winged Angel erupted with streaks of sacred light, at which point they ended their cultivation!
Qian Renxue officially broke through to level 80, and now only needed one more soul ring to advance to Soul Douluo!
