Huo Wu's heart clenched at the thought of Mu Ci being ambushed by Tang Hao, a nameless fear welling up within her.
After the fear came boundless rage; her golden-red eyes seemed to burn, her jade-like hands clenched into fists, knuckles turning white.
She said fiercely, "Damn Tang Hao! What kind of Haotian Douluo would do such a despicable thing?" Huo Wu
was furious; if she weren't mindful of her image in front of her elders and Mu Ci, she would have hurled even harsher insults.
Shui Bing'er, whose hand was being held by Mu Ci, remained silent, but her icy blue eyes revealed a chilling intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

As for Shui Yue'er, her eyes were red, and if Mu Ci didn't comfort her, she would probably cry in the next second.
After all, her lover was almost separated from her by death, so it's normal to be a little scared.
Mu Ci felt warm inside, and with one hand holding Shui Yue'er and the other gently patting Huo Wu's back, she said gently,
"Alright, don't be angry. Tang Hao is already dead, why are you getting angry at a dead man? Besides, he gave us such a great gift."
"This is the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bone, of such high quality, even the Spirit Hall doesn't have many."
Huo Wu was gently comforted by Mu Ci, and her anger subsided a little, but she was still a little scared.
"That's true, but can feelings really be summed up like that?"
"You're my man. What will we sisters do if something happens to you?"
"Tang Hao may be dead, but the Haotian Sect is still alive and well."
"I won't let this go so easily."
Mu Ci looked at Huo Wu, speaking as if coaxing a child.
"Alright, alright, it definitely won't be that simple."
"They won't swallow this insult, and I won't let it go so easily. The matter between the two families must be resolved when one side fully understands." "
But that's a matter for later, so let's not talk about it now."
"Can we see your gifts now?"
Mu Ci then comforted Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, helping them to pull themselves out of their emotional state.
"These three soul bones are all of excellent quality; they should all be inherited soul bones from the Clear Sky Sect." "
Huo Wu cultivates her physical martial soul, which places the highest demands on her body. So, this Strength Amplification Right Arm Bone is yours; it can greatly enhance your physical strength."
Huo Wu happily took the right arm bone upon hearing Mu Ci's words.
"Bing'er, choose this right leg bone. It can passively amplify all attributes, with excellent effects.
Moreover, after you absorb the soul bone, you'll be closer to level fifty. At that time, I'll choose the best soul skill for Ultimate Ice for you."
"Yue'er, you..."
But before Mu Ci could finish speaking, Shui Yue'er hurriedly interrupted.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want it. Give mine to Bing'er. She's only level 46 because of the Extreme Ice, while I've been stuck at level 48 for a long time and will break through to 49 soon." "
We were originally at the same level, but now I've surpassed her. You should give it to her so Bing'er can reach level 50 faster."
After saying this, Shui Yue'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled a little shyly.
"Besides, I believe that brother-in-law will definitely give me something better in the future, hehe."
Shui Yue'er then flattered the two of them.
Mu Ci didn't insist when he heard Shui Yue'er say this.
To put it bluntly, Mu Ci didn't care about these soul bones at all. Soul bones that were 50,000 or 60,000 years old were considered top-grade by ordinary people, but to him, they were just so-so.
Even if Shui Bing'er absorbed them now, he might replace them with something better in the future.
Replacing bones seemed incredible to others,
but to him, it was no different from changing clothes or equipment.
It's just that Tang Hao's six soul bones were indeed too few, not even enough for everyone around him to have one.
It seems I should make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, those gathering places for spirit beasts. There, you could find piles of 50,000-year-old spirit bones, or even 100,000-year-old ones.
Countless spirit beasts have failed their tribulations over the years; I can just take a batch as trade goods then, since they won't need them anyway.
Compared to the Silver Dragon King's injuries, this is just a bonus.
Then, giving each of my family members a full set of spirit bones wouldn't be a problem.
Hearing Shui Yue'er say this, Shui Bing'er smiled at her.
However, looking at the two spirit bones in front of her, and then at Dugu Bo leisurely drinking tea at the stone table, Shui Bing'er cautiously asked,
"Brother Mu Ci, did you leave any for Sister Yan Yan and Sister Leng Ling?"
Mu Ci smiled and pinched Shui Bing'er's smooth cheek.
"Of course, just focus on absorbing your soul bone. I've made preparations for both of them."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo finished his tea and smiled at the group.
"I've learned everything I need to know, so I won't stay here any longer. It's uncomfortable to have an elder here. I'm leaving." "
Then let me see you off."
Seeing Dugu Bo's gesture, Mu Ci thought of standing up, but was immediately interrupted.
"Alright, I don't need you to see me off. Just keep the girls company." With that, Dugu Bo flew out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye without looking back, heading towards the Medicine King Sect.
Seeing Dugu Bo leave, Mu Ci turned back to look at Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
"Since that's the case, you two should absorb the soul bones first. Yue'er and I will watch over you from the side."
Hearing this, the two women took their respective soul bones and sat down to the side, beginning to meditate and absorb them.
Just as Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu officially began absorbing, Mu Ci saw Shui Yue'er walk up to him with a beaming smile, then cling to him.
"Brother-in-law, after hearing that you were ambushed by Tang Hao, Yue'er was so worried about you. But even though your two older sisters were with you, you didn't properly comfort me."
Mu Ci couldn't help but find it amusing that Shui Yue'er pouted her alluring pink lips, opened her big, watery eyes, and looked at him pitifully.
"Well then, Yue'er, what kind of comfort do you want?" Shui Yue'er slowly closed her eyes, remaining silent, everything understood without words.
Mu Ci tightly embraced Shui Yue'er, and the moment their lips touched, even time seemed to stand still.
Feeling each other's warmth, experiencing each other's close breaths, everything was so beautiful.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Mu Ci looked at Shui Yue'er's pretty face flushed pink, her eyes slightly dazed, and softly asked,
"How is it, Yue'er? Are you satisfied with this comfort?"
At this moment, Shui Yue'er felt her body go limp, unable to muster any strength. If it weren't for Mu Ci supporting her waist, she probably would have already slipped off him.
"Mmm!"
Mu Ci watched as Shui Yue'er buried her pretty face in his neck and softly hummed in response.
Mu Ci slightly squatted down, slipped his arms under Shui Yue'er's knees, and gently lifted her up in a princess carry.
He walked to a stone bench and sat down, then let Shui Yue'er comfortably nestle in his arms.
The two waited quietly for Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er to finish absorbing their soul bones
