"But while this soul skill is not bad, it can't really be called extraordinary, can it?" Ye Qiu remembered what Xiao Lan had said earlier; she had gained an extraordinary ability.
"You're really clever, Xiao Lan has another ability!" Xiao Lan praised him as well.
"Okay, let me show you!" Xiao Lan hugged Ye Qiu tighter, seemingly a little nervous.
Ye Qiu turned his head and saw her suddenly close her eyes, her face flushed, her lips slightly parted as if chanting a spell.
When she opened her eyes again, seeing Ye Qiu in front of her, she leaned forward, a green light appearing in her mouth.
"Is this the seed?" Ye Qiu was still wondering. Xiao Lan
had already moved closer.
Cool, soft, fragrant—that was Ye Qiu's first impression.
Both of them had blue hair and blue eyes, their tender faces blushing. Xiao Lan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes, not daring to look at
Ye Qiu. Her pupils dilated; the seed seemed to have been transferred into his mouth.
He pushed Xiao Lan away and stood up.
"Little Blue, why are you gulping~"
He swallowed the green light, which transformed into a warm current that flowed through his body and gathered at his heart, making his heartbeat even stronger!
He pressed his hand to his throat, trying to vomit.
"Brother, don't be nervous, that was...that was Little Blue's doing," Little Blue said, pursing her lips and kneeling on the bed, not daring to look at him, her face flushed red all the way down to her neck.
"This...this is your new ability?!" Ye Qiu was somewhat shocked, pointing to his mouth and asking her, "Is this your new ability?"
"No, no, it's not!" Little Blue covered her face, collapsing onto the blanket, too embarrassed to speak further.
"..." Ye Qiu also fell silent.
"Brother!" A voice from Little Blue suddenly echoed in his mind.
Ye Qiu frowned, looking at Little Blue lying on the bed. She hadn't spoken either.
"Little Blue is speaking in your heart!"
"In my heart!" He lifted his clothes, and sure enough, the Blue Silver Emperor mark on his heart was flashing.
"Now, brother, as long as you say what you want to say to Xiaolan in your heart, Xiaolan can receive it!"
Xiaolan, who had been buried in the blanket, also raised her head, her face still flushed, but her mouth didn't move an inch.
Ye Qiu calmed down, "What exactly is going on?"
The Blue Silver Emperor mark on his chest flickered for
a long time. After communicating with her, Ye Qiu finally understood what Xiaolan meant by that incredible ability.
Seed of Life!
A special ability that Xiaolan had acquired, a seed formed by condensing a portion of her spiritual power, soul power, and life force together.
This seed could reside in Ye Qiu's body in place of Xiaolan, so even if Xiaolan wasn't there, he could still use her soul skills.
In addition, Xiaolan's survival ability was enhanced again. Even if her soul was annihilated, she could be resurrected using the Seed of Life.
As long as Ye Qiu didn't die, it would be difficult for her to die even if she wanted to!
"So this is the new ability you were talking about!" Ye Qiu looked at her happily.
"How about it, isn't it amazing!" Xiaolan's face, which had been flushed with shyness, blossomed into a smile.
"It's impressive, but just now, how come you..." Ye Qiu pointed at himself, looking at her strangely.
"Ah? That's because the Seed of Life... um... can't be exposed to light!" Xiao Lan's face turned red, and she stammered. Then she became certain again! "Yes! It can't be exposed to light!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! How could Xiao Lan lie~"
Seeing her somewhat forced smile, Ye Qiu frowned, feeling that she was lying to him, but he had no proof.
He stood there, staring at her.
"Okay!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Xiao Lan patted her chest.
After figuring out these things, Ye Qiu decided to test Xiao Lan's soul skill. He opened his palm, looking at his palm, and was extremely satisfied with Xiao Lan's gains.
'This so-called Seed of Life is like a complete version of a resurrection card for Xiao Lan, it's really powerful!'
Suddenly, a beautiful golden blue silver grass appeared in his palm, and two yellow soul rings rose from her feet.
"Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Fragrance!" As
soon as he finished speaking, the second ring lit up.
A faint, almost imperceptible mist seemed to rise from Ye Qiu's body, spreading outwards.
The closer one got to him, the denser the scent became, and the better the detoxification and removal of negative status effects!
"It really works!" Ye Qiu smiled broadly as he smelled the fragrance emanating from his body.
"Brother~" Little Blue jumped into his arms, nestled around his waist, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
She sniffed Ye Qiu's neck.
"Wow~ You smell so good too!"
"Hey! You tickle, stop it!" Ye Qiu tried to tilt his head back.
"If you don't hold me, Little Blue will fall off!" She took Ye Qiu's hand and placed it on her waist,
completely disregarding Ye Qiu's feelings.
"How about it? From now on, Little Blue can beat people up with you!" She raised her little fist seriously, making a fierce face.
"Uh~" Ye Qiu awkwardly wrapped his arms around her waist. "What are you fighting about? You only have support-type soul skills! Get down now."
"Xiao Lan won't get down! What's wrong with you, as my brother, holding me?" Xiao Lan pouted, not entirely convinced. "Hmph! Not now, but later I'll have offensive soul skills~"
"Uh! Hehe, that seems to make sense." After laughing a couple of times, Ye Qiu stopped urging her to get down.
He changed the subject. "But I'm going to take a shower. You should get down first!"
He untied her and put her on the bed.
Watching Ye Qiu's back, Xiao Lan covered her face and rolled around on the bed. 'Finally, I got a kiss again!'
Her face was flushed, but there was one incongruous spot: a few specks of green light emanating from her forehead
...
When Ye Qiu came out, she bumped into his arms again, giggling.
"Hehe~ How about Xiao Lan sleeps with you?"
Ye Qiu, who had just come out of the shower, almost broke out in a sweat. Why did Xiao Lan's words sound so strange?
He put his arm around her small waist and tucked her into the bed.
"Go to sleep quietly, I'm going to cultivate for a while."
Ignoring her somewhat unreasonable request, he sat down cross-legged to consolidate his improved soul power.
However, when Ye Qiu started to sleep, she was still awake.
As soon as he lay down, Xiao Lan snuggled up to him and squeezed into his arms.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from her nose, she said,
"Hey! Can't you sleep properly? Turn off your second soul skill!"
"Xiao Lan didn't use her second soul skill! This... this is my natural skill."
Her flushed face pressed against Ye Qiu's cheek, a cool, moist sensation on her skin.
"Goodnight! Hehe~ kiss~"
"Xiao Lan! Don't go too far, I just washed my face!"
...
In the following days, Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan indulged in a feast in Tian Dou City.
The rats simply kept an eye on them and didn't do anything else.
Over the next few days, Ye Qiu, using the blueprints for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow he had previously obtained, pieced it together and manufactured it at the blacksmith's shop. He also bought some daggers similar to kunai.
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was quite powerful, more than capable of dealing with Soul Masters who lacked defense and speed.
"Little Blue! After you finish this meal, get some rest today. Tomorrow we'll go to Sunset Forest!"
"Okay, okay! Hmm."
"Eat slowly!"
At this moment, the two were in a restaurant. Little Blue was wolfing down her food, while Ye Qiu gently patted her back.
