An Zhen didn't have a Spirit Bone at the time, partly because of this, and partly because they didn't know which Spirit Bone was compatible with An Zhen's Spirit.
As a family with a long history, Hongchen naturally has its own Spirit Bone. However, although Smile Meng and his sister's Spirit is the Hongchen family's Spirit Toad, it has mutated. One is a three-legged golden toad with the bloodline of a divine beast, and the other is a Zhu Qing Ice Toad with the property of being highly poisonous. Naturally, those Spirit Bone are no longer suitable for them.
High-quality Spirit Bone is an extremely precious resource.
Moreover, there is the hostility of the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms towards the Sun Moon Empire.
For various reasons, the Smile Meng siblings still have many Spirit Bone gaps.
Laughing Hongchen swallowed hard, inwardly marveling, "They're both Spirit Bone from 100,000 years ago!"
Although many incredible things had happened to An Zhen that amazed Laughing Hongchen, none were as shocking as what he was seeing now. It was like seeing a cave full of treasure in a book—it left him completely unmoved. But if you placed a mountain of coins in front of someone…
Meng Hongchen glanced cautiously at the purple-haired, icy beauty beside him.
Although Brother Zhen did use some method to subdue this Hell Demonic Dragon King, isn't it a bit too much to bring out these things in front of him...?
The ferocious beast was renowned far and wide.
A Hell Demonic Dragon King with over 200,000 years of cultivation. Even though it had concealed its aura, the sheer ferocity it exuded was enough to terrify ordinary people. The reason they were sitting here was entirely due to their trust in Little Zhen. They knew that even their grandfather, facing such a ferocious beast at such close range, would likely have met with certain death if it suddenly attacked.
Wouldn't such behavior be considered desecration of the corpse of another human being?
An Zhen noticed Meng Hongchen's furtive glances at Zi Ji.
An Zhen smiled slightly, "These Spirit Bone pieces are for you. Zi Ji and Di Tian don't care about them, as long as you don't mind that they were taken from a doghouse."
Spirit Bone belongs to a bone enthusiast from Star Dou Great Forest, the three-headed red mastiff, also known as the Red King, who is ranked on the continent's ferocious beast list. Apart from the large Spirit Beast bones, these Spirit Bone are more like collectible figurines to the Red King.
An Zhen pointed to one of the torso bones and said, "This Spirit Bone has two Spirit Abilities: one is active, which allows the body to be elementalized; the other is passive, which allows the body to amplify its own elements."
This is the 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone that Sea God Pavilion originally gave to Gu Yuena.
"As for the others, you'll have to explore them yourselves. The Spirit Ability that comes with those Spirit Bone and their origins are unknown. You'll need to use your spirit power to perceive whether the attributes suit you."
"A doghouse…" Laughing Hongchen's lips twitched.
Even the Emperor of Empire, the Sea God Pavilion Master, wouldn't squander these priceless treasures like this. Considering their unknown origins, these things probably didn't come from Star Dou Great Forest, nor were they Spirit Beasts hunted by humans there. Rather, the Spirit Bone of a Spirit Beast that perished in Star Dou Great Forest was taken by some Spirit Beast and then brought here by Xiao Zhen.
However, let alone a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone, even those that are 10,000-year-old, 1,000-year-old, or even 100-year-old would be highly sought after.
"Brother Xiao Zhen, what about you?" Meng Hongchen looked at An Zhen.
"Me? I already have several high-grade Spirit Bone." An Zhen shook his head slightly. "These Spirit Bone happen to overlap with most of what I have. You can absorb them. If I want more Spirit Bone later, I can just go to the ocean."
An Zhen isn't in a hurry to absorb the Spirit Bone right now. He'll see if he can get one with a higher cultivation level later. Even if that doesn't work, he'll hunt a few Sea Soul Beasts that are hundreds of thousands of years old to absorb the Spirit Ring. Spirit Bone wasn't difficult for him, since his Spirit didn't discriminate against spirit rings. What type of Spirit Beast does Spirit Bone come from?
Smile Meng and her brother exchanged a glance.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony."
Such a precious gift from my younger brother.
There was no excuse, because we are all family.
Laughing Hongchen picked up a Spirit Bone, infused it with spirit power, and felt whether it matched his own strength. With a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone, various factors would need to be considered, but facing this one hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone, as long as the power attributes matched somewhat, he could simply absorb it directly. ( The spirit ring of a super ferocious beast) A spirit bone is a rare sight, perhaps only seen once in countless years; a spirit ring is a hundred thousand years old. Spirit Bone is already the pinnacle of public perception.
Hailed as the Empire's greatest genius in a thousand years, Laughing Hongchen lamented his own weakness as the family faced such a critical juncture, unable to offer any assistance. He needed to grow stronger quickly so he could help Xiao Zhen and his grandfather.
As the older brother, he can't rely on his younger brother's protection in the future.
"Dream, you will absorb this torso bone."
Laughing Hongchen pushed the Spirit Bone, the only Spirit Ability that An Zhen had previously introduced, in front of Meng Hongchen. The second elemental amplification was a good ability, but for the first elemental body, he already had a Spirit Ring. Spirit Ability is similar. Elementalization is a great survival ability, and the second Spirit Ability, Elemental Amplification, is similar. Although Meng Hongchen's most powerful poison is not of a single element, it is created by the interplay of ice and fire. Amplifying her own ice and fire elements is equivalent to enhancing her poison attribute.
An Zhen sat to the side, watching all this with a smile.
Family is an indispensable part of his life.
In his past, when he was weak, he relied on the protection of his family. Now, An Zhen is willing to share his wealth and power with his family.
Laughing Hongchen chose a torso bone and a leg bone.
Meng Hongchen selected a torso bone and a skull.
A piece of left arm bone dating back 100,000 years was left behind.
An Zhen infuses spirit power.
Its primary attribute is light, mixed with a trace of fire power.
That would suit Dong'er better.
But Dong'er already possessed a golden left arm bone with all-around capabilities.
The group told their grandfather about their sudden seclusion.
"A 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone …" Mirror Hongchen smiled, his gentle gaze falling on his three grandchildren.
"Alright, you two go into seclusion first."
Go out.
The silver-haired girl suddenly threw herself into An Zhen's arms, her sweet fragrance wafting over him. An Zhen felt his little Meng sister growing up, his hands touching her smooth, delicate skin. The warm, moist air, carrying a hint of fragrance, brushed against An Zhen's ear. "Little Zhen brother, when I finish my seclusion, you're not allowed to run away. You have to keep the promise you made before."
An agreement?
An Zhen remembered.
The next second, Meng Hongchen jumped to the ground, her beautiful eyes looking at An Qiuer beside An Zhen with a hint of smugness.
An Qiuer was puzzled.
Is this guy also going to go into that place that makes her feel so comfortable?
An Zhen pursed her lips.
Meng Hongchen's silhouette was reflected in her eyes.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Xiao Meng, who grew up with me like a childhood sweetheart, has now grown into a beautiful young woman.
It feels like you've been growing cabbages for so many years, and now it's finally time to harvest them.
"Uncle, what was the agreement she mentioned?" An Qiuer asked, puzzled.
Meng Hongchen's voice was very soft, but An Qiuer, who was standing next to An Zhen, was very close, and with her strong physical abilities, she could hear it clearly even from a distance.
"Didn't we agree that you should call me 'brother'?" An Zhen said, a little helplessly.
The word "uncle".
He always seemed old, even though his age, combined with his past and present lives, was indeed quite high.
An Zhen looked at the blonde beauty beside him.
However, the first scene he saw when An Qiuer finished transforming involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Coupled with Meng Hongchen's intimacy earlier, he suddenly felt a little excited, which is only human nature, but he was still able to control himself.
"Okay, Uncle." An Qiuer nodded seriously.
"..."
"Come with me, let's tidy up the place where we'll be sleeping tonight."
An Zhen led the two women toward the soul-guided elevator.
Smile Meng and his sister have gone into seclusion to absorb the Spirit Bone.
There was no time to reminisce.
Grandpa is preparing to invite a Ninth-Level Soul Engineer.
An Zhen returned suddenly.
There was no prior notice.
Ninth-Level Soul Engineers are inherently busy, either researching spirit tools or handling Empire affairs. They're not like NPCs who spawn at fixed locations in the game, such as Mirror Hongchen. Their presence here isn't because they're idle, but because leading Mingde Hall is part of their job.
Now we need to find out the whereabouts of those Ninth-Level Soul Engineers and take them down one by one.
Take the Soul Guide Elevator.
I don't know how many floors are above.
An Zhen entered a certain floor.
"arrive."
This is where the Hongchen Family usually rests in Mingde Hall.
There's also one at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
However, Mingde Hall is safer.
Although An Zhen doesn't need to worry about safety right now, since Electrolux is recuperating in the Virtual World, there are too many students moving around the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
An Zhen walked into his room.
Living room, kitchen, study, meditation room, bedroom.
Familiar scenes came into view, and past memories surfaced in his mind. In the past, An Zhen and his two siblings mostly lived at the Hongchen Family's residence, occasionally leaving the three of them there when their grandfather was busy. An old man who would be considered elderly by ordinary standards raised three orphans, acting as both father and mother. Fortunately, Douluo people are generally precocious, and An Zhen and his siblings were especially sensible at a young age.
"There is only one bedroom."
An Zhen looked at An Qiuer and Zi Ji and said.
The meaning is obvious.
"I want to sleep with my uncle!"
An Qiuer said without hesitation.
A stunningly beautiful yet powerful young woman, resembling a Valkyrie, stood gracefully beside An Zhen. Although she looked like she was eighteen, she was like a little girl. However, the blush on her earlobes betrayed some of An Qiuer's inner thoughts.
It's normal for ordinary, shameless beasts to huddle together in one den. But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is an Emperor Rui Beast born with extremely high intelligence. Don't be fooled by the girl's earlier curiosity about many things in the Sun Moon Empire into thinking she's ignorant; it's simply because she hasn't seen those things before. With divinely bestowed bloodlines, he possesses many bloodline memories, and his understanding of male-female relationships is already mature.
"Sure?"
"I'm sure." An Qiuer nodded seriously.
She knew that only spouses of different genders could share a home.
An Qiuer doesn't understand love.
But she knew that being near An Zhen made her feel very comfortable.
They are the same kind.
The only two beings in this world who control destiny.
I want to live with my uncle.
An Qiuer's close relationship with An Zhen has already spoken volumes.
If you think it's good, then do it.
It was as if they were following the guidance of fate.
An Zhen pulled the girl in front of him into his arms.
Stick it on.
Regardless of the reason—whether it's pity for Wang Qiu'er from the original work, lament for Emperor Rui Beast's fate, admiration for the girl's beauty, the impulse of desire, or the affection developed over the past few days— An Zhen will not let go of An Qiu'er.
The black-haired boy looked at the purple-haired, icy beauty beside him.
"Sir...my lord."
The Hell Demonic Dragon King, who was once awe-inspiring and infamous in the eyes of the world, was now quite reserved. The icy beauty lowered her head somewhat at a loss, saying, "I can sleep on the floor in the living room."
Facing a legendary and powerful Dragon King, Zi Ji concealed all her sharpness.
"I'm not a man-eating monster."
An Zhen reached out his hand to Zi Ji.
They stopped when they were still some distance away from the other party.
"Previously, Naer said your reply was that you were single."
"Right?"
An Zhen confirmed again.
" Naer? Yes." A hint of doubt flickered in the icy beauty's deep purple eyes as she recalled what had happened before. "Your Majesty, Silver Dragon King?"
"Yes." An Zhen nodded slightly, not hiding his intimacy with Gu Yuena or the relationship between the two. " Silver Dragon King and I are now king and queen."
"!"
Murasaki was shocked.
An Qiuer:?
Zi Ji didn't think An Zhen was lying, because no True Dragon would dare to slander the Dragon God... His Majesty the Silver Dragon King. Just thinking about it made Zi Ji feel incredibly disrespectful. However, facing two extremely noble Dragon Kings, she, a Hell Demon Dragon, was not qualified to judge anything.
"Before, Bi Ji was sent by Gu Yuena to be a maid. I did have a relationship with her."
Virtual World cleaned the dust out of the room, and An Zhen sat on the sofa with An Qiuer in his arms.
"Hmm." Zi Ji had heard Di Tian mention that Bi Ji had gone to the human world to assist the Silver Dragon King. Of course, she was still very dissatisfied. Although Bi Ji's cultivation was indeed high, she was clearly better in terms of combat power. Moreover, she was the True Dragon.
To be able to serve His Majesty the Dragon God is the supreme honor that every True Dragon dreams of.
But, is this what serving is all about?
Her long, slender legs, encased in a purple outfit, touched the ground. Zi Ji's mind was a little confused, but at the same time, she was very clear about one thing.
She could clearly feel the burning gaze that Lord An Zhen was giving her.
An Zhen made no attempt to hide this fact.
An Zhen's expression turned serious. Recalling the dragon-related concepts revealed in Gu Yuena's words, he organized his thoughts. Without any beating around the bush, he spoke his mind boldly. Sweet words couldn't sway a True Dragon's heart; power and glory were the greatest allure for them.
"Zi Ji, I, An Zhen, hope that you will become my and Gu Yuena's maid, just like Bi Ji."
