"Here." Electrolux handed the soul bone to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took the soul bone. Soul power surged, spreading from his palm onto the soul bone.
Whoosh!
The emerald green soul bone immediately shone brightly. As the icy coldness spread into Wang Lin's body, the soul bone seemed to melt and was about to drill into Wang Lin's body.
"As expected!"
A joyful expression appeared on Wang Lin's face. He immediately severed the connection with the soul bone and shook his left hand, which was already frozen numb. It was indeed the influence of the Ice Jade Scorpion's remnant soul.
He had tried to absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone before, wanting to see if there was any so-called Ice Jade Scorpion pride. It turned out there really was.
At that time, when absorbing the soul bone, Wang Lin could feel the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone strongly repelling him. Now, it seemed it was only influenced by the Ice Jade Scorpion's remnant soul. The talk about pride was utter nonsense.
But even without the remnant soul, this soul bone was not for Wang Lin to absorb. He controlled the soul power surging within his body to flow into his left hand. His left hand, which was frozen numb, only slightly relieved its discomfort.
"What did you discover, Little Linzi?"
Electrolux noticed the change in Wang Lin's expression and asked.
"I discovered the influence of the soul beast remnant soul on soul bone absorption." Wang Lin answered honestly, looking at the Ice Jade Scorpion remnant soul on the coffee table.
"Elder Yi, why don't you keep this remnant soul? How about you take it with you?"
"That's good too, so I can have a companion." Electrolux nodded. The Ice Jade Scorpion remnant soul, which was constantly running back and forth on the coffee table, immediately flew onto Elder Yi's hand.
It was placed on Electrolux's shoulder. Wang Lin looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Little Linzi, thinking of some mischief again?"
As soon as Electrolux saw Wang Lin thinking, he guessed that this kid was certainly up to no good again.
This kid was like this with the soul beast embryo. Not long after obtaining it, he told him the "It's all mine" plan and asked if he had a way to achieve the plan.
"No, what kind of talk is that?" Wang Lin became a bit unhappy and defended himself, "I am thinking about serious business!"
"What serious business are you thinking about, kid? Could it be you're thinking about some little girl?"
Electrolux noticed that Wang Lin's gaze was still on the soul bone and couldn't help but say.
"I am indeed thinking about a little girl, but not in the way you think." Wang Lin nodded. "I am thinking of what reason to use to give this soul bone away!"
Both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were undisputed geniuses, so both of them were very proud. Xiao Hongchen, needless to say, was wildly arrogant.
But Xiao Meng's pride was a restrained pride. In daily interactions, Meng Hongchen was just like an ordinary girl next door, with a gentle and sweet personality.
But the gentle and sweet demeanor was only in front of Xiao Hongchen and him. Xiao Hongchen was her brother, needless to say. And Wang Lin treated Meng Hongchen completely as an ordinary girl.
He neither looked up to Meng Hongchen nor looked down on her, communicating with her entirely on an equal footing.
Meng Hongchen's pride made her treat everyone equally and without double standards. Wang Lin treated her with an equal attitude, which was why they became friends.
Meng Hongchen absolutely disliked people who were subservient to her because of her status, position, or appearance.
But given Meng Hongchen's background, status, talent, and appearance, few peers could interact with her without appearing humble or inferior.
Of course, Meng Hongchen also looked down upon those who thought too highly of themselves.
"The value of this soul bone is very high. You are thinking of giving away something of such high value; no need to explain. I understand."
Electrolux said faintly.
"That's not it, Elder Yi." Wang Lin explained.
"If I give it to her directly, she won't accept it. That little girl has a very proud personality. Giving it directly would be seen as flattery or charity, and she would dislike it."
The last time Wang Lin's thesis on the Soul Motor, he wanted Meng Hongchen to add her name, but the little girl firmly refused.
"This is beyond my capability." Elder Yi shook his head upon hearing this. "Why don't you ask your other master?"
"I'd rather think for myself." Wang Lin shook his head. The old Black Dragon was a chronic bootlicker, and Meng Hongchen disliked bootlickers the most.
However, speaking of bootlickers, the Level 2 carving knife Xiao Meng lent him, that Ye Ran had already raised the price to one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Being so wealthy yet acting like a bootlicker was truly speechless.
"Then think about it yourself. I'm going back to research how to transform this little scorpion."
Electrolux shook his head. The Staff of Life floated into mid-air, emitting a dazzling azure light. He approached the Staff of Life, and his figure became increasingly illusory.
The azure light was dazzling. Wang Lin couldn't help but say.
"Elder Yi, you don't live inside the Staff of Life. What are you doing?"
"In your words, this is called a sense of ceremony." Electrolux's voice rang out. His figure disappeared, and the azure light converged.
The Staff of Life floated to Wang Lin's front. Just as he reached out to take it, the azure-gold small staff suddenly changed direction, firmly tapping Wang Lin on the head.
"Ouch." Wang Lin cried out in pain. The Staff of Life returned to his hand.
This old man is too much. I just said one sentence. How petty.
Criticizing inwardly, Wang Lin suddenly recalled the time Electrolux climbed out of the human skull. The old man really did climb back into the human skull when he returned.
After contemplating for a while, he couldn't think of a way to give away the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone. Wang Lin simply gave up.
He put away the God Sealing Platform on the coffee table, washed up simply, and fell directly onto the cotton-like large bed, immediately falling asleep.
...
...
...
Star Luo City, under the cover of darkness.
Long Xiaoyao exited the Starlight Auction House hotel. Using the darkness, he rushed directly out of Star Luo City and arrived at the dense forest thirty miles outside Star Luo City.
The old Black Dragon stood in the center of the dense forest and waited for a long time. He suddenly spoke: "Come out. I know you've arrived."
As his voice fell, a cold, sharp female voice immediately rang out from behind him. A figure completely shrouded in a dark red cloak had stood behind Long Xiaoyao at some unknown time.
"I had to hear about your disciple from Kong Deming. Is this what you once promised me?"
Long Xiaoyao's expression tightened upon hearing this, but he quickly calmed down. He hurriedly turned around, and his voice became gentle.
"He's just an unaccomplished child, so I didn't think to inform you..."
"Unaccomplished!?" As his voice fell, the woman's figure flashed. A hand with bright red fingernails extended from beneath the dark red cloak and fiercely pressed onto Long Xiaoyao's chest.
"Your disciple is a great talent in soul tools. Even Kong Deming is considering taking him as a disciple."
"What?" Long Xiaoyao said with some surprise. He didn't move or make any attempt to stop her, letting her hand be branded on his chest.
The woman stared at Long Xiaoyao, seemingly observing his expression. After a while, she suddenly said: "Since he is a great talent in soul tools, then I will personally guide him. Let's go. Take me to see your precious disciple!"
Saying this, the woman retracted her hand, turned sideways, and gestured for Long Xiaoyao to lead the way.
But Long Xiaoyao stood in place, unmoving, while the woman just stared at him. The dignified Ultimate Douluo actually pleaded.
"Just this once. Just let me be willful this once. Don't touch him..."
Before Long Xiaoyao could finish his sentence, the woman interrupted him: "Hmph. You can take your disciple and leave right now. I never stopped you from leaving...."
"If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. Why wait until now? But....." Before the rest of the sentence could be uttered, the woman's figure vanished.
Long Xiaoyao stood in place, clenching and then relaxing his fists.
