Shui Yue'er dodged left and right, trying to avoid Bai Yu's hand holding the snow silkworm.
"No! I really don't want this gift anymore. Bai Yu, I don't want to eat it... *gulp*!"
Shui Yue'er's experience was still not enough; she actually started talking when she didn't want to eat.
(TL: bro…)
Taking advantage of the pause in her speech, Bai Yu flicked his finger and sent the snow silkworm into Shui Yue'er's mouth, then tapped her neck, causing her to swallow it directly.
"Hehe, I already told you, those aren't insects, they're immortal herbs. And since you've already eaten them, don't just stand there, hurry up and refine them."
Bai Yu released his arm from Shui Yue'er, then pointed to the wooden bed, signaling her to hurry over and refine the immortal herb.
Shui Yue'er stared at Bai Yu with teary eyes and a resentful expression. Just as her lips moved slightly, as if she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate her soul power.
Watching Shui Yue'er refine the Snow Silkworm, Bai Yu chuckled to himself, thinking, "Little brat, you're still too green to fight me."
When Bai Yu flicked the snow silkworm into Shui Yue'er's mouth, he also added a little soul power. It didn't have any other effect; it just allowed the medicinal power of the immortal herb to burst out quickly.
The reason for doing this was that Bai Yu didn't want to hear Shui Yue'er's complaints, so he directly addressed the root of the problem, leaving Shui Yue'er no time to complain.
Then Bai Yu got up, brewed a pot of tea, prepared a plate of dried fruit, sat down in a chair, and leisurely waited.
Two hours later, as a powerful surge of soul power erupted from Shui Yue'er's body, the absorption of the immortal herb was finally completed.
"Here, take this. Use your soul power to activate it, and then just like when you normally absorb a soul ring, use your soul power to guide it."
When Bai Yu saw Shui Yue'er open her eyes, he didn't wait for her to speak before taking out a Soul Gathering Seal that suited her and throwing it to her.
Shui Yue'er looked at the Soul Gathering Seal in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion. What was this thing?
"Is this also a gift? I hope there aren't any bugs inside?"
Bai Yu's lips twitched, and he said, somewhat speechless:
"There aren't that many bugs. This is a Soul Ring. After your spirit power increased, you were stuck at level 40. This is for you to break through."
"ah?"
Shui Yue'er turned the thick iron plate in her hand over and over, her face full of doubt. A Soul Ring? This doesn't look like a Soul Ring at all.
"Stop playing around, just channel your soul power, and the soul ring will appear naturally."
"oh."
Although Shui Yue'er couldn't figure out what this thing had to do with Soul Rings, she still obediently transferred her spirit power.
"Huh? There really is a Soul Ring? Bai Yu, did you see that? This piece of iron actually produced a Soul Ring!"
Shui Yue'er looked at the purple soul ring in front of her and jumped up in surprise.
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh. This Shui Yue'er is really interesting. What does it mean to have a soul ring explode from an iron plate?
"Haha, that's a soul tool called Soul Gathering Seal, not some iron plate. Alright, hurry up and absorb it. Just absorb it the same way you absorbed soul rings before."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Shui Yue'er blinked and began to use her soul power to guide the soul ring, attaching it to her martial soul and absorbing it with her eyes closed.
Another hour or so passed, and the soul ring that had been pulsating back and forth on Shui Yue'er's martial soul finally stabilized, indicating that the absorption was over.
"Wow, this Soul Ring is actually usable, and my spirit power seems to have reached level 43?"
Shui Yue'er assessed her own condition and, somewhat at a loss, spoke to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu nodded, indicating that her feeling was correct. At the same time, she sighed inwardly, thinking that this girl, like Zhuqing, was born weak.
"Yes, you are level 43. However, your foundation is a bit weak. Half of the medicinal power of this immortal herb is used to make up for your lack of talent."
"From now on, your cultivation speed will not be much slower than that of someone with innate full soul power, so you have to work harder and not be as lazy as before."
Shui Yue'er blushed; she felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed to be called a "salted fish" (a derogatory term for someone who is unattractive or lazy).
(TL: fyi I didn't put that note lol buts basically the same thing)
"No way, I used to train very hard, but my talent is just like that, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Bai Yu smiled. He didn't expose Shui Yue'er's stubbornness, but stood up and said:
"Let's go, it's getting late. I'll take you out for dinner and then I'll take you home."
Shui Yue'er hummed twice and reluctantly followed behind Bai Yu.
To be honest, she didn't want to go back, and since they were already in a relationship, staying by Bai Yu's side was what she wanted.
But not going back is not an option, as their Tianshui team has a match tomorrow. If she stays with Bai Yu, she won't be able to participate in tomorrow's match.
At that moment, she suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if the Tianshui team had already lost, then she could stay with Bai Yu with a clear conscience.
Bai Yu was unaware of Shui Yue'er's distressing thoughts. After having dinner with her, he took her back to the Tianshui team's rest area.
"Yue'er, you're back? How was it? Did that Holy Son of Spirit Hall do anything to you?"
"However, it doesn't seem like anything has changed. Could that guy be impotent?"
When Shui Yue'er returned, she saw all the members of the Tianshui team gathered there, without missing a single one.
Before she could even ask, Xue Wu ran over and looked her up and down with a curious expression, wanting to see if she had changed at all.
Shui Yue'er's face flushed red, and she reached out and pinched Xue Wu.
"Sister Xue Wu, what are you saying? Bai Yu only gave me some gifts, he didn't do anything to me."
Upon hearing Shui Yue'er mention gifts, a glint flashed in Shui Ling Shuang's eyes. She tapped the table twice and said:
"Yue'er, what gifts did Bai Yu give you? I see obvious fluctuations of soul power on you, as if you just broke through, so those gifts must be something used to enhance your soul power?"
As soon as Shui Ling Shuang finished speaking, Shui Yue'er's face immediately turned resentful, and her expression became extremely aggrieved.
"Aunt Shuang, please don't even mention it! That guy Bai Yu actually fed me bugs under the guise of giving me a gift!"
"However, he said that thing was not an insect, but an Immortal herb called the Immortal Snow Silkworm. After I ate it, my soul power did increase."
Then Shui Yue'er kept chattering, revealing all the things Bai Yu had done to her.
"What? Yue'er, your soul power is already level 43? How is that possible? Stand there and don't move, let me see!"
Upon hearing Shui Yue'er's description, Shui Ling Shuang's eyes widened, and she felt terrible. Could it be that this sudden increase in soul power had overdrawn her body?
Immediately, Shui Ling Shuang grabbed Shui Yue'er's arm and began to examine her carefully.
