25: Look closely, this umbrella is going to be really cool.

"treasure?"

Hu Liena stared at Su Wen, her eyes filled with shyness and timidity, her heart unable to hide her curiosity.

"Senior Brother, what treasure?"

Hu Liena followed Su Wen into the room and saw him closing the door.

Hu Liena's curiosity and doubt grew even stronger.

"It's the stuff you ate last time!"

Su Wen walked to the bedside and patted the soft bedding.

He signaled for her to sit on it.

"Heave-ho!"

Hu Liena took off her small shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat down somewhat formally and cautiously.

"Nana, use your fire to soften it!"

Su Han took out a box from his spirit tool.

After opening it, several pieces of Hundred-Year Whale Glue were revealed inside.

It was also time for Hu Liena to consume Whale Glue.

By eating a little every once in a while, by the time she obtained a spirit ring, Hu Liena's second Spirit ring would be at least a thousand-year one.

"So it's this..."

"Senior Brother, wait a moment!"

"Nana can't do it on the bed; it'll get Senior Brother's bed wet."

Thinking of her current state, Hu Liena jumped off the bed shyly.

She summoned her Charming Fox Spirit.

First Soul Skill, Fire Fox Decree!

Hu Liena performed the Spirit Ability with proper form, while simultaneously activating her Spirit Body Enhancement.

As she stretched out her small hand.

A ball of fire fox appeared in her palm.

"Control the flame temperature well."

Su Wen placed the Whale Glue on top, his gaze immediately falling on the tail swaying behind her, and his heart felt itchy.

"Senior Brother wants to play!"

Su Wen took the fluffy tail into his arms and couldn't help but stroke it.

"Ah, uh..."

Hu Liena bit her pearly teeth, enduring it, the fire in her palm becoming a bit unstable.

"If Senior Brother likes it, can we play later? Nana is losing control of the flames..."

"Cough, cough, you continue!"

Su Wen let go of the big tail.

Watching Hu Liena soften the Whale Glue and hand it to him, Su Wen stuffed it into her mouth, her small cheeks bulging.

Su Wen reminded her to refine it and went out to bring back a pot of water.

To cool down as well.

After Hu Liena finished consuming the Whale Glue, Su Wen sent her off to cultivate.

"Senior Brother, aren't you going to play with Nana's tail anymore?"

Hu Liena didn't really want to leave, holding her tail and gently rubbing her blushing face against it.

"Forget it, it's a waste of time. Cultivation is what matters most."

"Nana, you should go back and cultivate quickly too."

Hu Liena watched her Senior Brother enter meditative cultivation.

She deactivated her Spirit Body Enhancement and left with a somewhat disappointed expression.

As the door closed.

Su Wen's eyes, which had been closed, snapped open instantly.

He jumped off the bed and summoned his first spirit ring.

"Ah Yin!"

Buzz!

The yellow spirit ring flickered, and a blue figure appeared from within the spirit ring.

Ah Yin stood before Su Wen, looking ethereal.

She opened her beautiful eyes, her blue pupils as deep as the ocean.

Following the throbbing in her heart.

Her gaze moved onto him.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft: "Hus... Husband?"

"Change the way you address me!"

Su Wen looked up at her.

She wasn't even taller than his waist, which felt strange.

He inexplicably thought of a small carriage.

"Master?"

"That works too!"

Su Wen felt a sense of satisfaction.

He coughed and asked, "Ah Yin, what is your Spirit Ability?"

"Blue Silver Binding!"

Su Wen rubbed his chin; why was she like Hong Dou, fond of bondage games?

"And there's the Blue Silver Domain!"

Ah Yin crouched down to look him in the eye, a hint of throbbing in her pupils.

Su Wen felt it too and couldn't help but take half a step back.

After forming a contract with Ah Yin, he would actually think of her subconsciously.

Even wanting to touch her.

Her proximity made this throbbing feel even more intense.

"Come back!"

Su Wen recalled Ah Yin, and that inexplicably appearing throbbing gradually faded.

Looking at his left hand, he pulled off the red string on it.

After throwing it away, the red string dissipated upon hitting the ground, then reappeared on his finger.

Su Wen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It really is an Underworld Marriage!"

...Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

Every day, besides having a sparring match with Bibi Dong and studying Spirit theory in the morning, Su Wen spent the rest of his time cultivating.

His Soul Power reached level fifteen, and the red oiled paper umbrella became increasingly handy in his grip.

"Teacher, watch closely, this umbrella move will be very cool!"

In the quiet courtyard.

Su Wen held the red umbrella, and as he channeled Soul Power into it.

Instantly, a blood-red aura surged.

He traced an arc in the air.

A dark red light reached Bibi Dong in the blink of an eye.

"Clang!"

Bibi Dong raised her sword to parry, and the dark red light produced a ripple upon impact.

Her beautiful eyebrows arched in surprise: "Is this sword qi?"

"No!" Su Wen shook his head: "It's umbrella qi!"

Bibi Dong: "..."

"Forget it, no matter which one it is, it seems you've gradually become familiar with your weapon!"

Bibi Dong's voice was full of gratification. Su Wen smiled without a word, continued to grip the umbrella, and rushed forward with a flurry of low-aimed strikes.

Bibi Dong held her long sword, parrying left and right. Seeing Su Wen's attacks getting faster, her surprise grew.

But seeing him only focused on the lower body, Bibi Dong was speechless.

She stopped defending, performed a sword flourish, and easily transitioned to attacking.

Suddenly.

Bibi Dong leaped up and used a move like Splitting Mount Hua, though she held back some strength as she came down.

"Buzz!"

Without using Soul Power, Su Wen's arm trembled from the impact when he tried to block, and his circulating Soul Power was almost completely drained in an instant.

"Teacher, I'm done. How can you jump up like that?"

Su Wen lay directly on the courtyard floor, panting heavily.

"Hehe, if you're allowed to attack low, am I not allowed to attack high?"

The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled up slightly; she actually felt a sense of satisfaction when bullying Su Wen.

"Then I'd have to be able to reach your upper half first!"

"Hehe, don't make excuses. If you're bad, practice more!"

Bibi Dong gave a disdainful smile, not taking it seriously.

Just then.

The smile on Bibi Dong's face vanished as she looked at the courtyard gate.

A figure was waiting there.

Su Wen saw it too; the person was wearing a bright red robe and seemed to be a Cardinal.

Seeing that Bibi Dong didn't speak but a hint of joy appeared between her brows, Su Wen knew they were communicating via sound transmission.

"Xiao Wen, do you want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bibi Dong suddenly turned around, crouched down, and placed her jade-like hand lightly on Su Wen's shoulder. Her Soul Power poured into his body, helping him recover.

Her soul-captivating eyes stared straight at Su Wen: "If you want to go, then get ready. I'll come pick you up in a bit."

After speaking, Bibi Dong stood up and walked out of the courtyard with her long legs.

Su Wen stood up from the ground, looking surprised.

Bibi Dong going to the Star Dou Great Forest at this time was definitely to gain a new spirit ring.

Recalling that Elder Ju had mentioned information about a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.

Bibi Dong should be preparing to obtain the seventh spirit ring for her second Spirit.

"I'm definitely going!"

Su Wen went back into the room, put on his mask and black robe, and was extremely satisfied with his reflection in the mirror.

Then he returned to the courtyard, sat on the ground, and meditated to recover his Soul Power.

Waiting for Bibi Dong.

Half an hour later, Bibi Dong walked into the courtyard wearing a brilliant golden long dress.
