"Actually, to be frank, Junior needs your temporary protection in the Human World. After that, I would like you to sacrifice yourself to become my fifth spirit ring. But please rest assured, Senior, I am confident that I will become a god in the future. At that time, I will not only restore your Cultivation but also help you advance further."
Shi Quan's straightforward and sincere expression, far from being avoided, earned him the Blue Silver King's approval.
"Protecting the Emperor is the duty of a subject, and dedicating myself to you is an honor for your subordinate," the Blue Silver King immediately responded, speaking respectfully. "However, my King, your subordinate has a request. I wish to remain by your side through a soul spirit sacrifice. I wonder if this is feasible?"
From Shi Quan's special Martial Spirit Fusion ability earlier, the Blue Silver King could clearly feel his Bloodline and Soul strength advancing. This advancement could allow him to transcend his original restraints. If he could Cultivate by Shi Quan's side, it could also climb and grow to higher levels.
For it, this was also a good opportunity, and it naturally didn't want to miss it.
Shi Quan nodded. "If you are willing to stay by my side, you can try to remain as a soul spirit."
"What is a soul spirit?" the Blue Silver King looked at Shi Quan, puzzled.
"A Meng, come out," Shi Quan called softly.
Silver radiance shot out from Shi Quan's forehead, its wings gently spread, slowly landing on Shi Quan's shoulder.
"Hello," Xiao Meng's voice came.
"She is Xiao Meng, and she is the soul spirit I spoke of."
The Blue Silver King's human face was startled. "Such a complete Soul? And it seems to be parasitic in the Emperor's Sea of Consciousness? Not a Spirit Bone?"
"Hmm, A Meng's situation is special. While retaining a complete Soul, she can also provide me with a spirit ring and help me fight. Senior, you can discuss with A Meng and see if you can form a contract with me in the form of a soul spirit, just like her."
"Thank you, my Emperor." The Blue Silver King immediately showed delight. If it could really be like this, then its benefits would only be greater.
It immediately retracted its body, quickly shrinking, and soon transformed into a waist-high Blue Silver Grass, slowly winding around Shi Quan's right arm.
"What is this?" Shi Quan looked at the Blue Silver King on his right arm, intertwined like an armguard, warm and cool. At the same time, he could feel a continuous stream of power coming from his arm. After circulating within his body, it returned to the Blue Silver King, and this cycle greatly improved his Cultivation speed.
The Blue Silver King immediately explained, "Emperor, your subordinate can temporarily Parasite within your body. This way, your subordinate can not only use your power to conceal its aura and avoid being discovered by others, but also help you quickly improve your strength."
"It can do that too?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up. This would save a lot of trouble.
Shi Quan looked around as if he had thought of something, then looked at his arm and said, "Blue Silver King Senior, I have a special place that can make plants grow a hundred times faster. Can you gather all the Blue Silver Grass that are ten thousand years old or older? I'll transplant them there."
"There's such a treasure land?" The Blue Silver King heard this and quickly relayed the message to the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.
The ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass were immediately overjoyed. In a short while, there was a commotion underground, and a large number of ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass gathered.
This Spirit Beast forest was too ancient and vast. Only plant Spirit Beasts of ten thousand years or more possessed the ability to move. If he were to bring along thousand-year-old ones, Shi Quan would have to spend a lot of time digging them up one by one, not to mention whether the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could even accommodate them.
Seeing this, Shi Quan first took out a bottle of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well spring water from his hundred treasure pouch and poured it on the ground.
The ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass on the ground immediately felt the nourishing energy from the Earth and expressed their gratitude and joy to Shi Quan.
This action also confirmed the truthfulness of Shi Quan's words to the Blue Silver Grass.
Shi Quan then began to get busy, digging out these Blue Silver King along with the Earth and placing them into his hundred treasure pouch.
The space within the hundred treasure pouch was virtually limitless; it could even hold an entire forest, let alone these Blue Silver Grass.
Taking these Blue Silver Grass away was, on the one hand, because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed more suitable for their growth, and it was also a way to thank them for helping him Awaken the Blue Silver King. At the same time, Shi Quan was also afraid that Tang Hao would vent his anger on these Blue Silver Grass. If Tang Hao later brought Tang San to Awaken and failed, and discovered that they had helped him Awaken, he would likely come with a hammer.
After finishing everything, Shi Quan finally left the forest amidst the reluctance and disappointment of the many Blue Silver Grass, hurrying towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At first, Shi Quan hadn't noticed that his appearance had changed somewhat, and his hair had turned a jade-gold color. It wasn't until he leaped over a river that he noticed the change in his appearance.
Looking at his jade-gold hair, it was delicate, but who would want a head of green?
After using the Illusion Mask to change his hair back to black, although it lacked the previous luxurious, amiable, and gentle feeling, at least Shi Quan himself found it pleasing to the eye.
Two days later, Shi Quan returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with the many Blue Silver Grass.
"Emperor, the aura here is indeed suitable for our growth," the Blue Silver King's voice came. "However, there seems to be a terrifying aura hidden beneath these springs."
"Beneath the springs?" Shi Quan, while taking the Blue Silver Grass out of his hundred treasure pouch, immediately looked at the spring eyes of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Others didn't know what was beneath the springs, but Shi Quan knew clearly that the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King were buried there. The Ice and Fire Dragon King had fallen there during the God Realm war back then. In other words, the remains beneath were two Divine Beast corpses. Otherwise, how could a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have been nurtured?
Shi Quan suddenly thought, "Divine Beast should also have Spirit Bone, right?"
"After all, they are Divine Beast corpses. My strength is still a bit weak, so there's no rush. I'll wait for an opportunity later to see if I can dig them out." Thinking this, Shi Quan immediately said, "Don't worry, this place is safe. As long as you don't enter the spring water or go underground, there won't be any problems."
"Alright, Emperor."
When the last ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass was taken out of the hundred treasure pouch, more than half of the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was immediately occupied by Blue Silver Grass.
"The location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has been exposed, and Grandpa Dugu has also removed the poisonous array outside. With so many ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass guarding it, there shouldn't be any problems."
After a few simple instructions, his Internal Energy surged, and Shi Quan stepped off the wall and soared into the air, heading towards the academy.
He had set himself a twenty-day vacation, and now it had already exceeded two days.
If he delayed any longer, Ye Lingling and the others would start to worry.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, back mountain valley.
"Lingling is worrying about Shi Quan again?" Dugu Yan looked at the dazed Ye Lingling, wrapped her arm around her, and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, that guy Shi Quan is steady in his actions, he won't have any problems. He hasn't returned for so long, he must have been delayed by something."
Ye Lingling looked towards the direction outside the valley, her eyes a little lost, but she finally nodded and responded, "I know, Yan Yan, you don't need to comfort me."
Dugu Yan smiled faintly, then said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you and Zhuqing will fall ill from lovesickness?"
"Sister Yanzi, what nonsense are you talking about?" As her voice fell, Zhu Zhuqing's figure also emerged from the shadows.
The three girls looked at each other, but couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
"Alright, it's fine now." Ye Lingling waved her hand, and just as she got up to return to her room, she saw Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both looking towards the entrance of the valley.
Ye Lingling froze for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and quickly turned to look, and indeed saw the figure she had been longing for.
"It really has nothing to do with us?" Dugu Yan chuckled, releasing Ye Lingling's arm. "Let's go, Zhuqing, we two lonely people shouldn't disturb their reunion."
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled and walked towards the dormitory with Dugu Yan.
Only Ye Lingling remained, her cheeks flushed, standing in place, watching the longed-for figure approach from a distance.
"Lingling, why did Sister Yanzi and Zhuqing leave?" With a leap, Shi Quan's figure appeared in front of Ye Lingling.
"Yan Yan and them..." Ye Lingling's cheeks were flushed, and her voice grew softer and softer, "...said not to disturb us."
Shi Quan paused, looking at Ye Lingling's location, feeling a touch in his heart. "Lingling, were you waiting for me here?"
"I just came to see if you were back," Ye Lingling said softly.
Shi Quan took a step forward and gently pulled Ye Lingling into his embrace. "I made you worry."
"No... no."
Ye Lingling's body stiffened at first, but when she felt the warmth from Shi Quan's chest, her entire face instantly turned crimson. She didn't push Shi Quan away, because his warm embrace gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.
Shi Quan held Ye Lingling in his arms for a long time, looking at the Blue Silver King on his arm, as if he had finally made a decision in his heart.
He gently released Ye Lingling from his embrace. Their bright eyes met. Looking at Shi Quan's more mature and handsome face, she said somewhat flustered, "What's wrong, Shi Quan?"
"Lingling, let's be together."
"I will help you solve your Family matters. In the future, I want to be your only reliance, so..."
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Shi Quan's voice was calm, yet filled with unwavering determination.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's breathing immediately quickened. Her dark eyes, mixed with a hint of worry and shyness, seemed to ripple. With each blink, her long eyelashes gently fluttered. Beneath her beautiful eyes was a delicate, pointed nose. She seemed to have made a decision as well, her red lips slightly parted, and she softly uttered two words, "I will!"
Hearing this, Shi Quan domineeringly picked up Ye Lingling, lifted her veil, and kissed her lips.
After a long time, their lips parted. Both of them were slightly breathless, their eyes met, their gazes as fiery as flames.
Shi Quan gently wiped the corner of Ye Lingling's mouth and smiled faintly, "Then from now on, you are mine!"
Ye Lingling, her face flushed, buried her head and slowly leaned into Shi Quan's embrace, everything unspoken.
