"Hmm?!"
"Two... no, three!"
"Didn't you go trouble Shrek and those people? How do you have the scent of three women on you?"
Qian Renxue cornered Li Yu, her eyes narrowing as if she was trying to uncover some hidden truth from his gaze.
"Uh..."
Li Yu raised both hands in a helpless gesture, looking at Qian Renxue.
"My dear husband, I'm a woman. Don't even mention two or three, even if it were ten or twenty, I couldn't possibly have anything happen with them!"
"And..."
"I've told you several times, one is Liu Erlong, another is Zhu Zhuqing, and the third is Xiao Wu!"
"I've explained everything to you, so why don't you believe me?!"
"And why are you yelling so loudly?!"
Li Yu took advantage of his "female" form, switching roles quickly and pushing Qian Renxue into the corner. "Tell me, do you not trust me?"
Qian Renxue eyes instantly showed signs of panic, and she quickly started to explain, "I didn't mean that..."
"I can't hear it, I can't hear it. You don't trust me!"
Li Yu put his hands over his ears, acting like a spoiled child.
Qian Renxue was taken aback. Was... was she really playing like this?
She helplessly said, "I was wrong, Yu'er..."
"Wrong about what?"
Li Yu had already mastered the art of switching expressions perfectly.
"???"
Qian Renxue was even more confused and instinctively said, "Yu'er, stop making trouble, okay?"
"Making trouble?!"
Li Yu eyes reddened as if he was about to cry at any moment. "So now you think I'm making trouble, huh?"
He then squatted down, hugging his knees. "I knew it, I knew it, all men are the same. After taking everything, you start to despise me!"
"Ah???"
Qian Renxue was even more bewildered.
Li Yu then delivered his final blow, "Sigh, in the end, you just don't love me anymore..."
"..."
Qian Renxue was at a loss for what to do.
All in all, that night, Qian Renxue felt like she had learned a lot!
Well... she grew!
...
...
The next day, around noon.
[Level: 66]
[Reward Settlement: 3000 years of freely distributed time granted!]
[Free Distribution Time: 3000 years]
[Elemental Spirit Schedule: 4/10]
The system prompt flashed across Li Yu mind, and he groggily opened his eyes.
"Did the settlement get delayed because of the time wasted last night?"
Li Yu mind stirred. He then looked at Qian Renxue curled up in his arms, a smile appearing on his face.
Last night, without a doubt, he had taught Qian Renxue a lesson, and Qian Renxue had studied diligently, spending the whole night calming him down.
Now…
The once mighty Soul Sage was now sleeping like a child.
So peaceful.
He softly kissed Qian Renxue forehead, then with a thought, disappeared from the room.
Qian Renxue furrowed her brows, changing positions slightly but continuing to sleep soundly.
Meanwhile, Li Yu had entered the space within the Elemental Spirit Domain.
"Ah~"
Li Yu took a deep breath and sighed in pleasure.
After moving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the Elemental Spirit Domain's space, not only did the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well become even more mysterious, but the air in this space was also fresher than even that of the Star Dou Forest.
He even suspected that the remaining immortal herbs such as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower roots in this space would "reincarnate" faster and grow into those 100.000 Yearsimmortal herbs faster than they would in the original timeline!
But that was a story for another time.
Li Yu current purpose was to focus on his goals.
It had been quite a while since he last refined the immortal herbs, and he could already begin the next round of refining.
At this point, the only remaining immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that he knew the names of were—
The Yearning Heartbroken Red, the Beautiful Silk Tulip, and the Weird Mushroom of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red was meant for Qian Renxue, so he naturally wouldn't use it himself.
The Weird Mushroom of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum had the potential to evolve his martial soul, but it didn't have much use for him.
Still, he hadn't decided whether to give it to Ning Fengzhi or keep it for someone else.
Although he had previously considered giving it to Ning Fengzhi, his mindset had shifted.
Once Ning Fengzhi Seven Treasure Glazed Tower evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower, it would be incredibly powerful. With the accumulation of power, it might even reach the level of a Title Douluo.
But Ning Fengzhi was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had responsibilities that prevented him from wholeheartedly assisting Li Yu.
Moreover, with someone like Sword Douluo Chen Xin around, and Ning Fengzhi already possessing the "Seven-Star Heart," it wouldn't be easy for Li Yu to plant the Life Gate on him.
Therefore, his thoughts were wavering.
Later, he met Cai Xu.
His martial soul was undoubtedly powerful.
Although it was called Nine Sun Sunflower, Li Yu had already seen the possible "hidden disease" within it!
The Nine Sun Sunflower was likely similar to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in that, without a special opportunity, it might be difficult to break through to the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level.
Now, calling it the Seven Sun Sunflower seemed more appropriate.
What was different from Ning Fengzhi, however, was that Cai Xu was much easier to "control."
Then, there was Wang Changzhi, whom he had also noticed a certain possibility in.
Others might not have noticed the anomaly in his martial soul, but thanks to the Elemental Eternal Skull's Elemental Vision, Li Yu had discovered something!
The Black Hand was not Wang Changzhi's martial soul!
It was the "manifestation" of his martial soul!
Wang Changzhi's true martial soul was his right hand!
That is to say... it was his Original Martial Soul!
The second awakening of an Original Martial Soul had an immense effect.
Not to mention that Wang Changzhi was already quite a talented individual. If he underwent this awakening, who knew how strong he would become?
Li Yu wasn't sure.
He didn't even know if the Beautiful Silk Tulip could help with the second awakening of the Original Martial Soul.
But the seed had already been planted, and he wouldn't use the Beautiful Silk Tulip hastily.
Of course, the most important thing was that he knew there was a "Sky Dream Brother" beneath the Star Dou Forest. Could he summon it early to give himself a second martial soul?
"Thinking too far..."
Li Yu shook his head and then focused his spiritual energy on the Weird Mushroom of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum.
At first, he had thought about giving this Weird Mushroom of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum to Yue Guan for use.
Only one reason: who wouldn't be curious about what would happen if someone with the Weird Mushroom of the Heavenly Chrysanthemum martial soul took this immortal herb?
But now, the situation was different.
Who were the mysterious organizations suddenly appearing in the Star Dou Forest?
The Soul Master Tournament was getting closer, yet there was still no contact with the Spirit Hall.
And also...
He was clearly aware of the biggest obstacle in his path to achieving a future with Qian Renxue—Qian Daoliu!
Qian Daoliu would never easily allow Qian Renxue to break through, and perhaps even had set some hidden schemes on her.
This could be one of the reasons why Qian Renxue, despite having feelings for him, still wasn't willing to reveal her true form.
All these factors made it impossible for him not to rapidly improve his strength.
Improving himself was the most important thing.
As for Yue Guan...
Well, there had once been an opportunity placed before him, but... the one who had placed the opportunity had regretted it.
"Absorb..."
