Chapter 101 Qiu'er: Do you believe I'll just drop dead right here?
"It's over now... Sigh! A real handful has arrived!"
Sect Master Du Busi paced back and forth in the side hall.
After downing three pots of cold tea, he finally managed to force that "What the f***" back down into the depths of his heart.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at Lin Sheng with a grave expression: "Cough, cough, tell me the truth. Will that old black dragon, Di Tian, really not go crazy because this girl went missing?"
"That's the Auspicious Beast! If he thinks our Body Sect kidnapped her and brings the full might of his entire clan to slaughter us..."
"Even if I risk this old life of mine, I won't be able to stop that worm!"
Watching Sect Master Du Busi, who was usually afraid of nothing, wear such an expression, Lin Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Rest assured, Qiu'er's transformation was her own will."
"Besides, she and I share a connection via the Power of Destiny. If she were truly in danger, Di Tian would have sensed it long ago. Since he hasn't made a move..."
Lin Sheng chuckled softly.
"This proves that Qiu'er has a contingency plan. She holds no hostility toward us; on the contrary, she is full of curiosity about the human World."
Sect Master Du Busi curled his lips and waved his hand impatiently.
"Fine, fine. You brat have big ideas now. As long as you don't let that black dragon shave off my mountain peak, do whatever you want."
"Hurry up and go soothe your two little girlfriends. I get a headache just looking at the gunpowder smell in the backyard."
Lin Sheng: "..."
Lin Sheng walked out of the side hall. Just as he returned to the courtyard in the back, his footsteps froze abruptly.
It was getting late.
Under the pavilion, Zhang Lexuan was standing by the railing, the cool moonlight spilling onto her gentle face, making her look holy and lonely.
However, less than five meters away from her...
Qiu'er was sitting swaggeringly on a stone stool.
The two seemed to have gotten acquainted quickly, seemingly chatting about something, and didn't seem as confrontational as imagined.
"Lin Sheng, you're back?"
Qiu'er spoke first, her voice so sweet it made a chill run down Lin Sheng's spine.
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath, calmed the inexplicable sourness in her heart, and turned to look at Lin Sheng.
"Did you explain things clearly to Sect Master Du?"
"It's all explained."
Lin Sheng's mouth twitched as he bit the bullet and walked into the pavilion.
In the Sea of Consciousness, Tianmeng Iceworm was sitting with his legs crossed, shouting as if he didn't mind the chaos.
"Hey, Lin Sheng, this is an excellent opportunity!"
"You can just have this little Golden Lion take you to the Lake of Life. With her there, even if Di Tian is unhappy, he has to give her some face."
Ice Empress and Snow Empress also expressed their agreement.
This was indeed the best opportunity!
It was very likely...
the opportunity for Lin Sheng to fully step into the Soul Saint Realm.
"That's right, Lin Sheng. The Foundation of your second Martial Soul depends entirely on her!"
Lin Sheng nodded secretly in his heart.
He had indeed had this thought, but Qiu'er had just run out, and asking her to take him back now...
the whole thing felt awkward no matter how he thought about it.
...
Late at night, Zhang Lexuan wanted to have a private chat with Lin Sheng.
"..."
The two talked for a long time.
Most of it was about cultivation, and Lin Sheng was also interested in Zhang Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul.
Through the replication and insight of the Sharingan, he could actually perform it as well.
At this moment...
Qiu'er emerged from some shadow and sat gracefully between the two.
Zhang Lexuan's expression stiffened, and she thought to herself.
Did this little girl time this perfectly?
Why does she smell like a green tea b****?
"I also want to hear about the interesting things in the human World."
Qiu'er looked at Lin Sheng with a smile and suddenly leaned in a bit closer.
"Your left eye has completely recovered, hasn't it? What happened?"
Zhang Lexuan hadn't recovered from Qiu'er's startling directness yet, but she heard Qiu'er continue.
"After our Power of Destiny connection last time in the Star Dou Great Forest, I have been particularly interested in the human World."
"Seeing you living so wonderfully, I felt that those days in the forest were simply a waste of time, so... I transformed into this appearance to come and find you."
"Wait..."
Zhang Lexuan keenly caught the keyword and stared at Qiu'er in shock.
"Transformation? Transformed to find him? You are... a Soul Beast?!"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lin Sheng could only sigh deeply: "As you can see, she is not human, but the symbol of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"She was bold enough to sneak out behind Di Tian's back, and that's only because she met me. If it were someone else, the entire continent would probably be in chaos by now."
Zhang Lexuan didn't speak for a long while.
Although she had guessed that Qiu'er's background was extraordinary, she had never imagined that the girl with such peerless looks before her...
would actually be that kind of existence.
Qiu'er didn't care about this at all. She rested her chin on one hand and looked at Lin Sheng with a beaming smile!
"Oh right, I saw this sister in your memory fragments, it seemed quite clear."
The air fell into a dead silence in an instant.
"..."
Lin Sheng was stunned. He hadn't expected the resonance of the Power of Destiny to allow Qiu'er to see those deep subconscious thoughts.
Zhang Lexuan was even more frozen in place.
In her originally cold eyes, a rich surge of joy and shyness instantly appeared. She looked at Lin Sheng somewhat helplessly.
"That... you..."
Lin Sheng coughed twice and awkwardly looked away.
"That was... that was a special situation."
He glared at Qiu'er.
This girl was talking nonsense; his memory did contain Zhang Lexuan, but before that, it was at most just inside.
How could there be such a deep relationship?!
To break this awkward, ambiguous atmosphere, Lin Sheng steadied his mind, and his expression became serious.
"Qiu'er, since you have decided to stay, there is indeed something I need your help with."
Qiu'er answered very crisply. She sat up straight, her brilliant golden eyes flickering in the night: "I know."
"With the help of your Sharingan Origin, my Power of Destiny has become purer than before, and even my Origin is growing stronger."
The little girl patted her chest, looking confident.
"The thing you want me to help with... is that restless Ultimate Ice inside your body, right?"
Lin Sheng's heart shook violently: "How did you know?"
"Don't underestimate the connection between us."
Qiu'er extended her index finger and tapped lightly on Lin Sheng's chest.
"Deep-level resonance of the Power of Destiny allows me to perceive the deepest desires of your Soul. You want to reshape that power and turn it into a true Martial Soul, right?"
Lin Sheng suddenly realized; the mystery of the Power of Destiny was indeed far beyond his imagination.
It seemed... the resonance between the two was even deeper.
"That place requires an extremely vast amount of Life Qi to create." Lin Sheng said in a low voice.
"Then let's set off tomorrow for the Star Dou Great Forest."
Qiu'er stood up and stretched, her dark golden dress outlining her graceful curves.
"With me there, no matter how angry Di Tian is, considering that I want to help you become stronger, he will agree."
Lin Sheng paused for a moment, then spoke.
"What if... when Di Tian sees you go back, he won't let you come out again?"
Qiu'er giggled, the craftiness in her eyes almost overflowing. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Sheng: "Isn't that why I have you?"
"If you don't bring me out, I'll cry for you to see."
"Then I'll just drop dead right here."
Lin Sheng: "???"
Lin Sheng and Zhang Lexuan looked at each other, both amused and exasperated by this quirky little one.
