"Ah—!"
As soon as the Bright Soul Nourishing Pill entered her mouth, Jin Yue'er threw her head back and let out a strange cry.
"My brain is going to break... Woo-hoo!"
"..."
Qian Renxue followed with a muffled groan.
Her gaze toward Ye Tian softened slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.
The medicinal effect of Ye Tian's Second Soul Skill seemed quite similar to that of his First Soul Skill, the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
But one must understand—this Bright Soul Nourishing Pill acted directly on the soul!
At any time... the soul was far more mysterious than the physical body!
Even high-level Soul Masters rarely came into contact with this kind of power.
Those capable of wielding it as effortlessly as moving their own arms... were likely only existences at the level of her grandfather.
The entire Soul Master world's exploration of the soul could be said to be only superficial.
Unless one possessed a Soul Skill or Spirit Bone related to spiritual power, the vast majority of Soul Masters' spiritual power grew gradually over time and with cultivation, left to follow its natural course...
This resulted in, when setting aside Soul Skills and Spirit Bones, the spiritual power strength among Soul Masters of the same realm not differing too greatly.
Precisely because of this, during battles between Soul Masters, very few were willing to expend effort guarding against spiritual attacks from their opponents.
Never mind whether they had means of spiritual attack. Even if they did... they wouldn't be particularly sophisticated.
In crude collisions, it could be said that neither side could overpower the other.
So-called precautions were simply unnecessary.
Yet Ye Tian's Second Soul Skill, the Bright Soul Nourishing Pill, could directly enhance soul strength!
In simpler terms, it boosted spiritual power.
This undoubtedly allowed the user to gain an advantage in spiritual power over Soul Masters of the same level.
The stronger the spiritual power, the more benefits naturally followed—not limited to just detection and perception...
The most straightforward argument was that it gave the user an additional means to confront enemies!
Even just crudely projecting spiritual power forward... was enough to seize the advantage in battle, enabling them to slay their opponent and claim victory.
All of this... was more than enough to demonstrate the terrifying efficacy of Ye Tian's Second Soul Skill!
"How was it, Little Xue?" Ye Tian ignored Jin Yue'er's wild exclamations, smiling as he looked at Qian Renxue. "How did it feel?"
"Very good. It felt like my mind was completely emptied." Qian Renxue nodded emphatically.
When she took the pill earlier, she felt as if her very soul was melting... her scalp tingling all over.
Then, for just a moment, the pleasure was so intense she lost all sense of heaven and earth. It was as if she had transformed into all things, merging with the light and dust.
"Sister Xue is right!" Jin Yue'er raised both hands in agreement, hopping about joyfully. "Haha... so thrilling! I feel like my brain is about to become strange!"
As she spoke, Jin Yue'er pounced toward Ye Tian and wrapped her arms around his. "Haha... Ye Tian~ I want more..."
"No problem, didn't I promise you? But we'll need to wait a bit—let me build up some inventory and manage the distribution."
Ye Tian didn't let Jin Yue'er take advantage for nothing.
He raised his right hand and reached toward his left side, arriving at the top of Jin Yue'er's head...
Then, as if to slap her, he teasingly flicked the five upright pigtails sprouting from her scalp.
"Eek..." Jin Yue'er hunched her shoulders, glaring at him angrily as she let out a charming shout. "Ye Tian!"
"..."
Ye Tian paused his movements and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"Not at all." Jin Yue'er replied indignantly.
She raised her little face to meet Ye Tian's gaze, puffing out her cheeks... Ultimately, she conceded defeat.
With a huff of annoyance, her face flushed red as she tightly hugged Ye Tian's arm and pressed her cheek against his shoulder.
Muffling her voice, she said, "P-play then, but only for a little while!"
"No problem!" Ye Tian readily agreed, unable to suppress a light chuckle.
Yet his hands never slowed their movements...
"Mmm~" Jin Yue'er closed her eyes in embarrassment.
The swaying of her hair tugged at her scalp, the just right pain bringing a tingling sensation that made her shrink her body and endure it.
Her small hands clenched Ye Tian's Taoist Robe...
Jin Yue'er didn't understand it herself, but gradually, she found it increasingly difficult to resist Ye Tian's playful handling.
She simply followed her feelings.
The sensation Ye Tian gave her was somewhere between a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a Bright Soul Nourishing Pill...
Comfortable, without risking damage to her brain.
"Heh..." Watching Jin Yue'er beside him with lowered head and bowed brows, allowing him to handle her as obediently as a kitten, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly... If only Bibi Dong were this easy to handle.
If that were the case, with his status as the Saintess's disciple, he could practically lounge his way into a title...
Why would he need to suffer through so many hardships?
"Ye Tian~" Qian Renxue remained standing outside the door, watching Ye Tian and Jin Yue'er snuggling together as if no one else was present...
A feeling of being an outsider washed over her, making her quite uncomfortable.
But as a good friend, she couldn't interfere too much, and could only let things take their course.
The only thing she could do was try to join in!
This was the solution she had thought of during her leisure moments while missing Ye Tian!
Qian Renxue pressed her pink lips together, made up her mind, and began taking steps toward Ye Tian...
She knew her own situation well! Qian Renxue was quite clear-headed.
At the beginning, whether it was her or Yue'er getting close to Ye Tian, wouldn't they both be pushed away?
But now, this kind of contact between Yue'er and Ye Tian had become commonplace.
Reaching this level was inseparable from Yue'er's persistent throwing herself at him and offering herself!
All she needed to do was get a little closer... A simple matter!
Just as Ye Tian had said, companionship is the longest confession of love... She just needed to get used to it!
Qian Renxue clenched her sleeves, lowered her head, and gently moved her steps...
Like a thief, she hoped she wouldn't be noticed.
Except when facing Bibi Dong, this was the most nervous moment of Qian Renxue's life!
Even though she had tried to open her steps as much as possible, Qian Renxue still felt like she was moving at a snail's pace.
It felt like each day lasted a year...
Only when she finally stood beside Ye Tian did Qian Renxue slightly relax.
Still maintaining her reserve, she secretly glanced up at Ye Tian and immediately froze.
Under the gaze of those dark eyes, her pretty face quickly turned fiery red...
Her raised arm stiffened mid-air, her mind completely blank.
"Little Xue, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" Ye Tian looked at Qian Renxue strangely.
He even took a moment to glance back at the pavilion behind them. Qian Renxue's cautious and vigilant manner had made him think Bibi Dong had arrived!
"Ah, n-no, it's nothing."
Qian Renxue shook her head repeatedly, her heart fluttering with panic.
Her feet already felt disobedient. Gritting her teeth and remembering the purpose of her visit this time...
She immediately continued her approach,
both small hands reaching up to grasp Ye Tian's wrists one after another.
Enduring the embarrassment of being caught red-faced, she stared directly into those dark eyes and softly reminded him, "Ye Tian, it's noon already. We should go attend the banquet."
