"Don't… don't touch me! Wuwu, you bastard, Qian Xunji, get out!" Bibi Dong, with her soul power sealed, struggled desperately.
Just as she felt utterly hopeless, she suddenly remembered the person in the Star Dou Forest.
But would it really work?
Ah, whatever—might as well treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
Bibi Dong pushed Qian Xunji away fiercely and shouted, "Kirin Saint, save me!"
"Hmph, this secret chamber is extremely hidden. No one will come to save you, don't waste your effort…"
Before Qian Xunji could finish, three people suddenly appeared in the chamber out of thin air: one man and two women.
"Who are you?" Qian Xunji asked, studying the three. He noticed that only the fox-eared woman's soul power fluctuation was nearly equal to his, while the other two were unreadable.
"Hehe, who are we? We're here to kill you!" Lin Yuan said. Daji and Ak simultaneously released their Martial Souls, each dropping nine soul rings and rushing toward Qian Xunji.
Lin Yuan moved to Bibi Dong's side.
"Here, take my clothes," Lin Yuan quickly coughed twice to calm himself, handed Bibi Dong's clothes back to her, and simultaneously released her soul power.
"Ugh…"
Lin Yuan gently patted her back and comforted her, "Don't cry."
"Thank you for saving me."
"No problem. Just raise your hand and that's enough!"
Meanwhile, the level-95 Qian Xunji was no match for the level-95 Daji and level-98 Ak, and was soon completely controlled by Daji.
"Master, he's under my control. What should I do next?"
Lin Yuan studied Qian Xunji for a moment.
"You're not going to kill him, are you?"
"Not yet. After all, he is a key figure in the battle with Tang Hao. If we kill him now, Qian Daoliu might notice. Though he is currently in Ak's domain, he has already lost a soul. As the soul master of the Archangel Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu would definitely detect it."
"In that case, use the control chip! I'm already looking forward to the future Thousand-Snow Event." Lin Yuan took out the control chip and directly manipulated Qian Xunji.
The control chip could infiltrate a person's brain and control them. Even a level-99 peerless Douluo couldn't detect it.
At present, Qian Xunji was in Ak's domain. This was Ak's eighth soul skill, Dark Night Domain, which suppresses the aura of everyone inside the domain—explaining why Qian Daoliu didn't detect Qian Xunji releasing his Tian Clan Martial Soul.
Under control, Qian Xunji knelt on one knee and said to Lin Yuan, "Master."
"Alright, do as before. When you return, find a woman, have a child, name her Qian Renxue, and give her to Bibi Dong to raise. Understand? Now, go out first."
"Yes, Master."
As Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong walked over and asked, "Why didn't you kill him?" She now hated Qian Xunji deeply.
"He still has great use. Don't worry," Lin Yuan smiled. "By the way, he'll have a daughter with another woman named Qian Renxue, and you'll raise her. About ten years later, a great battle will occur, and the focus will be on Qian Xunji, so you'd better prepare."
"Oh~" Bibi Dong responded.
"Also, we need to find a way to the City of Slaughter and seize the domain of the God of Slaughter. A god named Rasetsu will come to you, asking you to accept her inheritance. You must take good care of her."
In the original story, Bibi Dong probably went to the City of Slaughter after being assaulted by Qian Xunji, which also allowed her to inherit Rasetsu's legacy.
"Seize capital? Got it."
"Here are two things for you: a Martial Soul Enhancer, which should help elevate your two Martial Souls, and the Dark Goddess. After ascending your Martial Soul, receive the inheritance from this god." Lin Yuan presented the items to Bibi Dong.
"Why give them to me?"
"Because I like you!"
System's Little Daji: "Wow, you're such a simp!"
"You can't fully say that. If you didn't like someone, you wouldn't go to such lengths, right? Playing and obeying is fine, but crossing the line isn't allowed."
The sudden confession shocked Bibi Dong again. "But I already like someone else."
"That loser? Qian Xunji has already been tricked into breaking up with you by people sent by Qian Xunji. Now, he's no longer in Martial Soul City. Perhaps what Qian Xunji said is true—he's fallen for another woman. Maybe being with you was all fake, just to acquire that knowledge."
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Impossible. Xiaogang would never do that."
"Then let's make a bet. In a year, if Qian Xunji falls in love with another woman, you'll be my girlfriend."
"But if he doesn't, you must unconditionally agree to three requests from me."
"Yes," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "Now, let's upgrade your Martial Soul. We'll protect you."
"Okay." Gradually, Bibi Dong began to trust Lin Yuan more than she realized.
Author's note: Yay! My correction ability is improving.
Using the Martial Soul Enhancer required releasing the Martial Soul and letting it actively upgrade itself. With special Martial Souls, unexpected surprises could occur.
Bibi Dong sat cross-legged as the Death Spider King and Soul-Eating Spider King appeared simultaneously.
Dual Martial Soul users normally need to draw one soul to match with another, but now both spider kings could release their souls simultaneously.
The first Martial Soul, Death Spider King, was surrounded by seven soul rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, while the other Martial Soul, Soul-Eating Spider King, had a single black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Lin Yuan frowned.
No—Bibi Dong had finally removed the risk of dual-soul conflict. She first absorbed the nine rings of Death Spider King, then absorbed the rings of Soul-Eating Spider King. How could this be?
Usually, beast-soul users are possessed by their beast when releasing it. Here, Bibi Dong had no beast attached, yet both her Martial Souls and their rings had appeared.
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. It now seemed less like Martial Soul ascension and more like two Martial Souls merging into one.
As Lin Yuan suspected, Bibi Dong's two souls were very similar, so her current state was soul fusion.
When the Death Spider King and Soul-Eating Spider King began to merge, they didn't violently devour each other, but merged gently.
After some time, the fusion completed. The spider souls disappeared, replaced by a woman wielding eight purple energy phantom spider spears, wearing a black crown, and next to a red goddess statue in a black robe, holding a jewel-encrusted staff roughly two meters tall, with a black-purple energy orb at the top. Inside the orb were two spider specimens—the original Death Spider King and Soul-Eating Spider King.
The woman resembled Bibi Dong but looked colder, with hollow green eyes.
Most importantly, the two souls' rings fused into one set: Black, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black.
"Hmm…" Bibi Dong stood up and sighed heavily. "Thank you, Kirin Shengjun."
"No need to thank me. I'm Lin Yuan. Tell me about your Martial Soul."
"My current Martial Soul is called Queen of the Night. Though humanoid, it's essentially the same as the Soul-Eating Spider King and Death Spider King—two Martial Souls merged into one humanoid form. The best part: previously, each Martial Soul could attach soul rings separately. Now, both can attach rings independently. Essentially, as a Title Douluo, I'll have eighteen soul rings, which eventually merge into nine. For example, the first century-level ring of Death Spider King and the first ten-thousand-year ring of Soul-Eating Spider King merge into the first ring of Queen of the Night—a ten-thousand-year ring."
Most importantly, the soul skills of the two rings are retained, equivalent to one ten-year ring. The first ring of Queen of the Night now has two skills: Death Spider King's first skill, Death Spider Blade, and Soul-Eating Spider King's first skill, Half Moon. Future rings attached to Queen of the Night can still be spider-type soul beasts.
Essentially, nothing has changed—two souls fused, their soul rings merged, and there's no need to switch to soul battle mode anymore. Soul combat has become far more convenient.
Lin Yuan listened and didn't know what to say for a moment.
