When Yu Qing returned to his residence with the radiant and spring-eyed Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi, he happened to run into A Rou, who was drinking tea in the hall, and Fox Consort, who was teasing Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan.
A Rou's pink eyes swept lightly over Yu Qing and the two women, keenly catching the blushes on Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi's faces that hadn't fully faded, as well as the lingering laziness and satisfaction between their brows. The corners of her mouth curled into a nearly imperceptible arc of understanding, and her pink eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a hint of craftiness.
She put down her teacup, walked to Fox Consort's side, leaned into her ear, and whispered something in a low voice.
Fox Consort was slightly stunned at first, and two patches of rosy clouds instantly flew onto her fair, pretty face. Her eyes showed shock and shyness, and she subconsciously wanted to shake her head. But A Rou persisted with a few more words. Fox Consort's gaze shifted between Yu Qing and the two women who had just returned, she bit her full lower lip, and finally nodded gently, a glimmer of eagerness appearing in her eyes.
Although the specific content couldn't be heard, judging from Fox Consort's reaction, it definitely had something to do with "special training"!
Yu Qing took in this scene, and a "bad premonition" suddenly rose in his heart, his back feeling a faint chill.
Sure enough, that night, Yu Qing's premonition came true.
As night fell, Yu Qing was just about to rest when the door was pushed open with a "creak." A Rou walked in smilingly, pulling along Fox Consort, whose face was slightly red.
"Husband~ the night is long, and I have no desire for sleep~" A Rou's voice was sweet and cloying, her pink eyes flashing with a dangerous and seductive light. "Why don't we... have another 'deep exchange'?"
Although Fox Consort's cheeks were crimson and her eyes were dodging, that same flame of expectation leaped in her charming fox-like eyes, as if invisible fox tails were gently swaying behind her.
Yu Qing: "..."
What was meant to come, eventually came... When everything returned to calm, Yu Qing let out a long breath and comfortably opened his arms, pulling his two sweat-drenched beloved wives into his embrace, one on each side.
A Rou lazily narrowed her pink eyes, rubbing against Yu Qing's chest like a satiated cat, not caring at all about his mischievous hands. Her voice carried a hint of hoarseness and satisfaction as she asked softly, "Husband~ Sister Xiner and Ruyi have already broken through level seventy and condensed their soul cores. When do you plan to hunt for their seventh spirit rings?"
Yu Qing toyed with the softness in his hands and pondered, "No rush. Let them rest and adapt for a while, and wait until they are completely familiar with the operation of the soul core." He paused, his tone becoming somewhat mysterious. "Besides, this time is different from any previous spirit ring hunt. I plan to use a new method to help them obtain their seventh spirit rings."
"A new method?" A Rou and Fox Consort raised their heads at the same time, their beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
What new method could there be for hunting spirit rings? Isn't it always about finding a suitable Spirit Beast, killing it, and then absorbing it?
"Mhm." Yu Qing nodded, a confident smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "This method is called the Soul Spirit Method! It is a brand-new path I have spent my heart's blood researching, which allows a Spirit Master to obtain a spirit ring without needing to hunt and kill Spirit Beasts!"
"Wh-what?!" A Rou's pink eyes suddenly widened, her face filled with disbelief! Her shocked expression looked somewhat excessively cute, which made Yu Qing's large hand on her conscience even more restless.
"Obtaining a spirit ring... without killing a Spirit Beast? H-how is that possible?!" Fox Consort's red lips were also slightly parted, her charming fox eyes filled with shock and incredulity! This completely overturned their understanding of Spirit Master cultivation!
"Husband~ tell us quickly! This Soul Spirit Method... what exactly is it about?" Fox Consort couldn't help but ask further.
Yu Qing looked at the two women's shocked and knowledge-hungry expressions, his heart full of a sense of achievement. He smiled and said softly, "Alright~ I will tell you in detail what the Soul Spirit Method is!"
After saying that, he pulled back his smile, his expression becoming focused. He first leaned down gently, pressing his forehead against A Rou's smooth forehead. After a moment, he turned to Fox Consort and repeated the same action.
A cool and majestic mental force, carrying a large amount of complex and profound information, was slowly and clearly transferred into the two women's Sea of Consciousness—it was a massive amount of information regarding the Soul Spirit Method's detailed principles, operational steps, required conditions, advantages, disadvantages, and future development prospects!
The two women immediately closed their eyes, concentrating fully on reading and digesting this astounding, never-before-heard knowledge.
Time passed slowly.
When they opened their eyes again, their pupils first held remnants of extreme shock, which then quickly transformed into an indescribable emotion and deep admiration.
They stared blankly at Yu Qing, their gazes complex to the extreme! There was shock, wild joy, and emotion, but more than that... a love that came from the depths of their Souls.
The Soul Spirit Method.
This was not just a revolution in the way spirit rings were obtained.
This was simply... the creation of a brand-new era, an era where Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts could potentially coexist peacefully and benefit each other.
Its significance was so profound and its impact so immense that it was simply immeasurable.
And the one who created all of this was the husband right before their eyes.
[Ding! Detected that Dao Companion A Rou has developed extreme worship and identification with the host's concepts and achievements. Mental resonance has significantly increased. Affection level +5. Current Affection Level: 95 (Deeply Rooted Love, Unwavering Until Death). Rewards: Affection Treasure Chest x1, spirit source x1, fifty-thousand-year soul ring age card x1.]
[Ding! Detected that Dao Companion Fox Consort has developed extreme admiration and submission to the host's wisdom and magnanimity. Affection level +5! Current Affection Level: 93 (Deep Love and Devotion, Willing to Give Everything). Rewards: Affection Treasure Chest x1, Secret Technique: Charm Eyes Cultivation Method.]
The sudden sound of the System prompts gave Yu Qing a start, and a huge wave of surprise surged in his heart.
A Rou and Fox Consort's affection levels had been stuck at 90 and 88 for a long time. He hadn't expected that tonight, because of the Soul Spirit Method, their affection levels would break through the Bottleneck in one fell swoop, reaching an unprecedented height.
Before Yu Qing could recover from this massive surprise.
"Husband~" A Rou suddenly pounced forward, her arms tightly encircling his neck, her pink eyes containing endless deep affection and excitement. "You... you are truly amazing."
Although Fox Consort didn't speak, her charming fox eyes also sparkled with excited tears. She expressed her feelings through her actions... The next day, Yu Qing supported A Rou and Fox Consort, who were limping and had thick weariness between their brows, as they walked out of the room.
Zi Ruyi and Duan Xin, who were teasing the children in the living room, were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Husband, Sister Rou, Sister Fox Consort, what's with you...?" Zi Ruyi asked in surprise while holding her daughter, Sandalwood Yu, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.
Duan Xin's expression was strange, her gaze scanning back and forth between Yu Qing and the two women. She couldn't help but click her tongue, "Wow! Sister Rou, Sister Fox Consort, did you... fight another eight hundred rounds with Husband last night?" A look of admiration appeared on her face.
Yu Qing shook his head helplessly and gave a bitter smile. "Sigh... it's a long story. Let them go back to their rooms and have a good rest first." He was too embarrassed to say that because the Soul Spirit Method had made the two women so excited that they had overdone their "repayment."
After settling A Rou and Fox Consort, who fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed, Yu Qing returned to the living room. Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi immediately cast curious glances, and even Purple Pearl, who was quietly cultivating nearby, pricked up her ears.
Yu Qing sighed and briefly explained the matter of the Soul Spirit Method to the three women.
After listening to Yu Qing's narration, the three women were suddenly enlightened, and the confusion on their faces was instantly replaced by shock and understanding.
"So that's how it is..." Zi Ruyi murmured, finally understanding the reason. "No wonder Sister Rou and Sister Fox Consort were so... excited. Husband, this Soul Spirit Method you've researched is very friendly to Spirit Beasts!"
Duan Xin even jumped up directly, excitedly hugging Yu Qing's arm with her eyes shining. "Husband! You're too amazing! You could actually think of such a method! You're simply a god!"
Purple Pearl didn't speak, but her purple eyes were also filled with unprecedented shock and deep respect. The way she looked at Yu Qing was as if she were looking at an existence that was opening a new era.
"Husband~" Duan Xin began to act spoiled again. "In the future, will we not have to work so hard to hunt Spirit Beasts?"
Yu Qing smiled and rubbed her hair. "Theoretically, yes. But the implementation of the Soul Spirit Method also requires a process. For now, it requires a Spirit Master to reach at least the Spirit King level and find a Spirit Beast over ten thousand years old that is willing to become a spirit soul. It will take time to fully popularize it."
"This is already very good!" Purple Pearl couldn't help but chime in, her tone excited. "As long as we contract a ten-thousand-year spirit soul, when we Cultivate to Titled Douluo in the future and the spirit soul grows with us, wouldn't we have several hundred thousand year spirit rings? This... this is too incredible!"
Yu Qing shook his head with a laugh. "You're thinking too much~ Although theoretically a spirit soul can grow and a Spirit Master can contract multiple spirit souls, it's not without limits. The most important thing is the strength of the Spirit Master's mental force. According to my calculations, an ordinary Spirit Master, even if they Cultivate to Titled Douluo, can only contract three spirit souls at most. Unless... they are a Spirit Master with twin spirits and powerful mental force, then they might be able to contract one or two more."
Hearing this, the three women were not disappointed in the least; instead, they became even more excited.
"Three hundred thousand year spirit rings! Three hundred thousand year spirit souls!" Duan Xin's eyes were startlingly bright. "Isn't that enough? Heavens! Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Zi Ruyi and Purple Pearl also nodded heavily, their beautiful eyes filled with infinite yearning and expectation for the future.
Yu Qing looked at their excited expressions, smiled, and said seriously to Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi, "Alright, don't just be excited. Your most important task right now is to adapt to the power of the soul core as quickly as possible and strengthen your Foundation. Once you've completely mastered the soul core, I will take you to find suitable Spirit Beasts to contract your first spirit souls."
"Yes! Husband!" The two women immediately responded in unison, their small faces full of drive.
Even Purple Pearl, who was on the side, had the fire of fighting spirit burning fiercely in her eyes. She was filled with immense expectation for Yu Qing's Soul Spirit Method, wishing she could immediately Cultivate to Spirit Saint to experience this era-defining way of obtaining spirit rings.
