"Have I recovered?"
Ming Tian asked, sitting up and looking at his hands.
He still found it somewhat unbelievable. When he wanted to further examine his physical condition, Yan and Yan Qingwan arrived together. Seeing Ming Tian recovered, Yan embraced him and thumped him on the back.
"You little rascal! You scared me to death, you know? You were in a coma for three days after you came back! We found the best healing soul masters, but they couldn't find anything wrong. We thought you'd never wake up again."
Feeling Yan's concern, Ming Tian's heart warmed, and he said,
"It's okay, Brother Yan. Look, I'm fine now, aren't I? My whole body feels great."
Ming Tian spread his arms, smiling, to show he was perfectly fine.
"It's truly strange. I didn't expect you to be fine after only three days, even the healing soul masters couldn't tell what happened."
A voice sounded, and someone entered the room. It was He Chen, the Soul Saint-level expert hired by Yan's family.
Seeing Ming Tian's surprised expression, Yan explained:
"I sent a distress signal to the family that day. Shortly after, He Chen came to the scene where we were ambushed. They found us all passed out, and the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was nowhere to be seen. From the scene, He Chen suspected someone killed the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull, but they haven't found out who yet."
"Then they rescued us. Gan Ling and Ning Tong's injuries weren't serious, and they're already better after treatment from the healing soul master. The Gan family also restarted their barbecue business, and I recovered quickly too. Only you were asleep for so long, and we didn't know what was happening."
"Is that so?"
Ming Tian scratched his head, pretending not to know anything, and looked at He Chen. He Chen's gaze was clearly suspicious, scrutinizing him.
"Young friend Ming Tian, do you really remember nothing after you fainted?"
"No, I was also hit by the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's terrifying mental attack and passed out. Maybe my mental strength is weak, so I was in a coma longer."
Ming Tian played dumb, saying with a hint of fear.
"Yes, that Heavenly Void Eye was too powerful. How could a few kids like us be a match for the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull? Mr. He Chen, even if you suspect something, suspecting Ming Tian is too far-fetched."
Yan also spoke up for Ming Tian, turning to question He Chen.
He Chen narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and stared at Ming Tian, making him feel uneasy. After a moment, he said:
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Since he's awake now, I won't bother with it. There's something else I need to do for the boss, so I'll take my leave."
He Chen left as he spoke.
Yan pulled the covers up on Ming Tian and patted his back, saying:
"Don't mind him, He Chen is just like that."
"It's okay, Brother Yan."
"Then get some rest. Let us know if you need anything."
"Okay!"
"Hehe, Brother Ming Tian, you have to get better quickly, okay? I'll be six years old in a few days, and I can awaken my Martial Soul. I'm waiting for you to come to my Martial Soul Awakening ceremony."
Yan Qingwan said with a smile.
Mentioning the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, Ming Tian was in a trance and remembered what happened before. A thought suddenly came to his mind.
He had the ability to absorb the souls of killed beasts and turn them into his own Martial Soul. So, did he not have a Martial Soul Awakening, or had he simply not awakened it yet?
Yan and Yan Qingwan chatted with Ming Tian for a few words and left.
Ming Tian was still pondering his conjecture, wondering what would happen if he went to awaken his Martial Soul. What would happen?
"Thinking about the little girl who just left? My dear disciple, I didn't expect you to have so many crooked thoughts at such a young age. Your acting just now, if I hadn't known your situation, I would have believed it too."
A relaxed, teasing voice sounded. Ming Tian was stunned and looked in front of him in surprise. Meng Qianji slowly emerged from the shadows of the ground.
"Master?! How did you get here?!"
"My disciple was injured, so why wouldn't I come? I've been observing you nearby for three days."
"No, what I mean is, how did you get in like that..."
"Don't worry, I concealed my aura. Unless it's a Title Douluo, no one can detect my presence. Alright, tell me about what's been happening these past few days."
"Eh?"
He Chen, who was drinking tea with Yan Wei, was startled and frowned slightly, sensing something.
"What's wrong, Brother He?"
"I just felt a fluctuation of soul power, extremely faint, as if it was nearby, but..."
"It's too weak. Perhaps I sensed it wrong."
He Chen put down his teacup. But he didn't realize that his words were a slap in the face to Meng Qianji.
"Brother He Chen, perhaps you're being too suspicious. A child, how could he have any problems? Could he have killed the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull? Moreover, I've investigated it. Although this child appeared out of nowhere and approached Yan, his strength isn't bad, but I haven't heard of any of those family members recently coming out of seclusion. He shouldn't be someone from that side deliberately approaching Yan to gain information."
"You're right, but it's still best to be cautious of people with unknown origins."
"Let's not talk about that. Mr. He, you're still at level seventy-four, aren't you? Coming from such a small village to reach this level is not easy. Don't you have any thoughts of going further? Do you remember what I told you before? As long as you're willing to agree, perhaps you'll go even further in the future."
Yan Wei sat in his chair, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking at He Chen and smiling as he spoke.
He Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard Yan Wei bring up the matter again, his expression filled with internal struggle.
"Hehe, Family Head Yan, I'm fifty-seven years old this year. Although I maintain the appearance of someone in their thirties, I've seen through many things..."
"Hey, don't say that."
Yan Wei raised his hand to interrupt.
"How about this, that person is nearby recently. I'll introduce you to him. By the way, I also have something to see that person."
Hearing Yan Wei say this, He Chen was also surprised:
"What, that person is also here? That son of the current Spirit Hall Master..."
"Qian Xunji, you don't need to follow us anymore. If you keep following us like this, I will never return to the Spirit Hall again."
Bibi Dong took advantage of Yu Xiaogang, who was resting and sleeping under a large tree, to walk out and say to Qian Xunji, who had been following them for many days.
Qian Xunji's face was somewhat ugly at the moment, even ferocious as he looked at Bibi Dong and questioned:
"Bibi Dong! Have you forgotten your identity? How can you be with a waste! Do you know who he is?!"
"A waste from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! A waste who can't break through Soul Elder at thirty! How can you be with someone like this! Come back with me!"
Qian Xunji reached out to grab Bibi Dong's hand, but Bibi Dong angrily released her Title Douluo-level aura, forcing Qian Xunji back a half-step, her eyes equally unfriendly.
"Qian Xunji, I know what I'm doing. I've been very happy with Xiaogang these past few days! I feel happier with Xiaogang than I ever did in the Spirit Hall. I'm willing to be with Xiaogang! Please stop bothering us!"
Bibi Dong said, throwing a dark blue bone at Qian Xunji, and said:
"This is the Soul Bone left behind by the woman I killed. She's not a real human, you can rest assured. I'm certain she's dead, and her soul ring has become my ninth soul ring. I already have a left arm bone. I'll give this one to you. Consider it my answer to the Spirit Hall. In the future, please don't let the people from the Spirit Hall bother me."
Bibi Dong turned her head. Qian Xunji, holding the Soul Bone in his hand, was furious and grabbed Bibi Dong's shoulder, and said:
"Bibi Dong! Do you really think you can be with that man? If he knew you were the Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall, if he knew you were my disciple!"
"You dare!"
Bibi Dong was also provoked, and nine terrifying soul rings were released, suppressing Qian Xunji's aura.
"Qian Xunji, I don't like you. Go away. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Bibi Dong didn't look at Qian Xunji again, but went to Yu Xiaogang's side. Looking at Yu Xiaogang who was sleeping soundly, she caressed his face and hair, and gently kissed his forehead, and said:
"Xiaogang, we'll be together, right?"
"I curse you to never receive the love of the one you love, and your body will be taken by someone you don't love!"
You Huamo's last words resurfaced in her mind, and Bibi Dong shivered.
Was it really karma? She killed You Huamo, and in the blink of an eye, she met the person she loved. Could her words really come true?
No, it won't!
She, Bibi Dong, finally had someone she loved...
"Xiaogang, we'll be together, right? Until the end of time, we'll never be separated, and no one will take you away from me..."
In the distance, Qian Xunji's heart was about to explode with anger as he watched Bibi Dong bend down and kiss Yu Xiaogang's forehead!
"Yu Xiaogang! I will definitely make you and Bibi Dong separate, even if I have to use the most despicable methods..."
