"Indeed, a gift perfectly suited for you, one that will greatly enhance your strength,"
Lin Jie said, holding out the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
Zhu Zhuyun and Huo Wu were puzzled by the golden-red inner core in Lin Jie's hand. They had no idea what it was.
"Lin Jie, what is this?"
"This is the inner core of the ancient Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. It is extremely beneficial for spirit masters with fire-attributed spirits. If you absorb and refine it, both your spirit power and aptitude will be greatly enhanced. It may even allow your spirit to evolve."
"Soul evolution," Huo Wu and Zhu Zhuyun exclaimed in surprise. Their spirits were already among the best; if they evolved further, what would they become?
Zhu Zhuyun gazed at the inner core in Lin Jie's hand, a hint of longing in her eyes, but also a touch of envy when she realized it was from Lin Jie.
"Indeed, this is from me. You are my woman, and I am thinking of your future. Refine it here now."
Huo Wu felt a little shy when she heard Lin Jie call her his woman. "Well, thank you, Lin Jie." After taking the inner elixir from Lin Jie's hand,
Zhu Zhuyun bravely kissed him on the cheek. Zhu Zhuyun looked at Lin Jie with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She was also Lin Jie's woman, so why didn't he give her a gift?
Lin Jie saw Zhu Zhuyun's resentful look and smiled, "Don't worry, Zhuyun, you have one too."
"Really, I have one too," Zhu Zhuyun said happily.
"Of course. You're my woman too, so why wouldn't I prepare one for you?"
Lin Jie said, pulling out a jade box from his soul guide ring. Opening it, he revealed a magical herb. Its entire body resembled jade, its shape resembled colored glass. It's called White Jade Colored Glass. Its effects were no less than those of the immortal grass.
"This is a magical herb. It will be extremely beneficial to you. Once you absorb it, it will not only benefit your constitution. The method of consumption is simple. Do you see the vein-like lines inside? Simply suck in the jade juice. Now absorb it right here."
"Thank you, Lin Jie." Zhu Zhuyun accepted it and kissed Lin Jie on the cheek without shyness. Then she began to absorb it.
This was Lin Jie's room, and they felt reassured.
Lin Jie watched the two beauties begin to absorb and refine the energy, his face filled with relief. He glanced at the slender, jade-like Huo Wu, then at the alluring Zhu Zhuyun. He imagined how wonderful it would be to be with them both.
After a long while, Zhu Zhuyun was the first to absorb and refine the energy.
Feeling the increase in her strength and the changes in her body, her face was filled with joy.
She trotted over to Lin Jie, threw herself into his arms, and kissed him. "Lin Jie, thank you. I'm now at level 56 soul power. A direct increase of three levels."
"You're my woman, helping you is my duty. And you've done a great job,"
Lin Jie said with a smile, embracing Zhu Zhuyun's lithe waist.
"Yes, I know. I'll do better next time." Zhu Zhuyun stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss Lin Jie. Zhu Zhuyun was relaxed, completely oblivious to Huo Wu, who was absorbing and refining the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
With Zhu Zhuyun taking the initiative, the two of them kissed passionately.
"Lin Jie, do you want it?" Zhu Zhuyun whispered in Lin Jie's ear after releasing him.
"Zhuyun, this isn't good. Huo Wu is still here!" Lin Jie wrapped one arm around Zhu Zhuyun's slender waist and, with the other... refused.
"It's okay, Lin Jie. I'm telling you, I've convinced Huo Wu this past year. Do you want us to serve you together?" Zhu Zhuyun said in a charming voice. Her voice was full of seduction, and every time Lin Jie thought of it, his brothers protested.
Zhu Zhuyun felt the sensation there, a seductive smile on her face. Reaching out and grasping it, she whispered, "Don't move. I know what you want."
Just as Zhu Zhuyun was about to help Lin Jie stretch his muscles, Huo Wu, who had just finished absorbing, opened her eyes.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun and Lin Jie slumped on the sofa, she suddenly thought of Lin Jie and her, and some of the things Zhu Zhuyun had discussed with her, and her face flushed.
Zhu Zhuyun's expression remained unchanged when she saw Huo Wu finished absorbing.
Seeing Huo Wu approaching, Lin Jie coughed softly and said, "Huo Wu, I've absorbed it."
"Yes, thank you, Lin Jie." Huo Wu looked at Lin Jie, her face flushed.
"You don't have to thank me. You're my woman, and helping you is my duty. Besides, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for tolerating my philandering." Lin Jie pulled the blushing Huo Wu into his arms and spoke gently.
"Yes, Lin Jie, I've thought it through. As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough."
Huo Wu knew that Lin Jie was a bit philandering, and Lin Jie had told her that now that she was his woman, she only hoped that Lin Jie would love her.
"By the way, Huo Wu, how's it going after absorbing the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core?"
A beaming smile crossed Huo Wu's face. "Just as you said, my spirit has truly evolved. It's now on par with those top-tier spirits. Furthermore, my spirit power has reached level 56. Not only has my spirit power increased, but I'm now immune to snake venom. I've also gained a magical ability."
Huo Wu had reached level 50 two months ago, after which the Spirit Hall took her on a hunt to acquire her fifth spirit ring, effectively becoming a Five-Ringed Soul King.
Now, having consumed just one Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core, she'd actually increased her spirit power by five levels.
One can only imagine the power of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core.
Upon hearing that Huo Wu had reached the same level as herself, Zhu Zhuyun wasn't thrilled. Instead, she felt happy for her, as she and Huo Wu were now sisters on the same side.
"That's good. I'm very happy that you've grown in strength. Soon, there will be a major shift on the continent. The stronger you become, the more I can help you. So, in the days ahead, you must practice diligently, okay?"
"Don't worry, Lin Jie. I'm not just a pretty face."
Huo Wu spoke with a hint of pride. She was naturally a hot-tempered young woman, and a very strong one at that. She could be gentle in front of Lin Jie because she liked him. To outsiders, she would always be a proud hot-tempered young woman.
"Well, don't worry, Lin Jie. Sister Huo Wu and I will definitely not hold you back. Right, Sister Huo Wu?" Zhu Zhuyun said, then gave Huo Wu a look that meant, "Let's get moving."
Huo Wu understood Zhu Zhuyun's meaning. After Lin Jie left for Slaughter City, Zhu Zhuyun had approached him, saying she wanted to become sisters. Huo Wu hadn't agreed at first, but soon after Zhu Zhuyun talked to her about Lin Jie, she agreed. As the two of them spent time together, Huo Wu discovered Zhu Zhuyun to be quite kind, and their relationship grew closer.
After learning of Lin Jie's return, the two of them went to see him. Zhu Zhuyun even told her they wanted to serve Lin Jie together. This way, they could captivate Lin Jie. Even if Lin Jie's other women returned, they would remain the most important in his heart.
When Huo Wu learned Zhu Zhuyun had told her about this, she scolded her for being too much.
While Huo Wu didn't refuse, she didn't agree either. Now that Zhu Zhuyun had proposed it to her, she felt incredibly shy.
She wanted to be with Lin Jie, but being with Zhu Zhuyun wasn't going to be a good idea.
"Huo Wu, what's wrong?" Lin Jie asked, noticing her blushing face and a bit lost in thought.
"Nothing, just thinking about something," he said, blushing, and shaking his head at Zhu Zhuyun.
Lin Jie watched Zhu Zhuyun and Huo Wu exchange glances and gave her a questioning look.
Zhu Zhuyun understood Lin Jie's meaning and leaned over to whisper something in his ear.
Though her voice was low, Zhu Zhuyun leaned to Lin Jie's left, while Huo Wu leaned to his right. With Huo Wu's current strength, she could hear clearly. Upon hearing the words, her face flushed even more.
Lin Jie's eyes lit up at Zhu Zhuyun's words, and he swallowed. He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, then at Huo Wu, his eyes ablaze with passion.
"Xiao Wu, are you willing?" Lin Jie addressed Huo Wu directly, clearly deepening their intimacy.
Huo Wu didn't answer, not because she didn't want to, but because it would have been too embarrassing. But she didn't refuse either. Lin Jie saw
Huo Wu's expression as a sign of acquiescence.
Immediately, Lin Jie swept Huo Wu into his arms, his hands resting on her slender, jade-like legs.
He leaned in close, kissing her delicate, voluptuous lips.
Huo Wu, though shy, didn't want to refuse Lin Jie, so she agreed.
Slowly, Lin Jie laid Huo Wu down on the sofa, his arms clasping her waist.
"Don't,"
Huo Wu began to speak, seeing Zhu Zhuyun giggling beside her, but Lin Jie's passionate kiss had already begun.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun gently leaned over Lin Jie to help him stretch his muscles.
Lin Jie hadn't expected Zhu Zhuyun to help him accomplish what he had always wanted. Now, facing Zhu Zhuyun and Huo Wu, his blood boiled with passion, his fighting spirit boundless.
The small sofa couldn't accommodate three people, so Lin Jie carried the two beauties and moved to another location, entering the room.
After a long moment, Huo Wu said tenderly, "Lin Jie, let Sister Zhuyun..."
Zhu Zhuyun, unlike Huo Wu's shyness, quickly took over after noticing Huo Wu's exhaustion.
Their hearts throbbed, their joy overflowed.
The carefree Zhu Zhuyun and Lin Jie showed Huo Wu what she could do.
Huo Wu shyly covered her eyes, unwilling to watch the whirlwind of Lin Jie and Zhu Zhuyun's actions.
However, the hand covering her eyes still slid open a crack, and she secretly looked at the two.
She thought about how gentle Lin Jie had been to her just now, and now he and Zhu Zhuyun were doing so many tricks.
After Lin Jie and Zhu Zhuyun reached the top, they rested for a while, and let Huo Wu watch another free battle.
However, Lin Jie felt that it was a pity to see Huo Wu like this, so he reached out and pulled her into the battlefield.
Lin Jie gave Huo Wu and Zhu Zhuyun a gift each. The gifts they gave in return made Lin Jie extremely satisfied.
