Chapter 118 Shui Bing'er sheds tears and confesses her love to Lu Ming! The Ancestor's Martial Soul is number one?!
Upon hearing this, Hyotei also became interested.
"Yeah, sister, this is outrageous."
"Could it be the legendary Dragon God himself who has arrived?"
"Besides the Dragon God, I can't think of any other martial soul that is stronger than the Silver Dragon King."
The Snow Emperor remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the white mist instantly dissipated in the cold wind.
"Just you wait and see."
"Since the sky has been ranked, there must be a reason for it."
"The number of hidden powerhouses in this world is probably far greater than we sisters could have imagined."
...
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.
The night was as dark as ink, dotted with countless stars.
A bonfire roared in the open space, its orange flames dancing and dispelling the surrounding darkness and chill.
The firewood crackled and popped in the flames, sending sparks flying.
Lu Ming sat casually on a flat bluestone, holding a twig in his hand, idly poking at the fire.
Beside him, Shui Bing'er, Ye Lingling, Bai Xiuxiu, and A Yin sat in a circle.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
Shui Bing'er's icy blue eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, her chest heaving slightly, clearly indicating that she was experiencing intense turmoil.
Lu Ming's words about Gu Yuena were like a bolt from the blue for her.
"master?"
Shui Bing'er's voice trembled slightly, breaking the deathly silence.
"That Gu Yuena...is she really your wife?"
She asked again, her eyes filled with a last glimmer of hope, wishing that she had just misheard or that her master was joking.
That's the Silver Dragon King!
He is the supreme ruler of all soul beasts!
How could she possibly have that kind of relationship with her master?
Ye Lingling, Bai Xiuxiu, and A Yin also stopped what they were doing and all looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming remained calm, seemingly not finding this to be anything earth-shattering.
He nodded slightly and casually added a piece of firewood to the fire.
"good."
Lu Ming spoke calmly, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.
"She is indeed my wife."
Upon receiving a definite answer, Shui Bing'er's face turned deathly pale, and her once bright eyes dimmed instantly.
Lu Ming was unaware of his disciple's heartbreak at that moment.
He turned his head, looked at Shui Bing'er, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"Bing'er, if you ever see Gu Yuena again..."
"You can call her Master's Wife."
"Master...Mother..."
Shui Bing'er murmured the two words repeatedly, feeling as if they were as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing down on her so much that she could hardly breathe.
Tears welled up in her eyes, glistening faintly in the firelight.
She bit her lower lip hard, trying her best to hold back her tears.
Just then, the scene above the sky changed again.
Golden light flowed, and a line of large characters appeared.
The number one on the Martial Soul Ranking will be revealed soon!
The appearance of this line of text temporarily diverted everyone's attention.
Ye Lingling raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
"Is the number one on the Martial Soul Ranking about to be announced?"
Ye Lingling blinked. "I wonder what kind of martial soul it is that ranks first."
Ah Yin also looked quite emotional.
As the Blue Silver Emperor, she has a natural sensitivity to the quality of martial souls.
"The Silver Dragon King Martial Soul of Gu Yuena is so noble, it combines the elements of heaven and earth."
Ah Yin said softly, "Even so, we only come in second place."
"The number one on the Martial Soul Ranking must be an extraordinary existence."
Bai Xiuxiu rested her chin on her hand, her face full of longing.
"Could the number one on the Martial Soul Ranking possess a Martial Soul comparable to the Dragon God?"
Bai Xiuxiu herself was a soul beast who had been reborn, so she was naturally very familiar with the legend of the Dragon God.
"I'm really curious, what kind of martial soul is it?"
The three women chatted amongst themselves, all speculating about the mysterious first place winner.
Only Lu Ming remained calm and composed.
What is number one?
Of course, it's his Nine-Colored Blue Silver Grass.
That's an existence that transcends the level of gods and touches upon the origin of creation.
However, he didn't reveal it; these things are more interesting if they're kept a little mysterious.
Immediately afterwards, the images on the screen shifted, and instead of directly announcing the first place, the ninth place on the strength ranking popped up first.
[Ninth on the Power Ranking: Di Tian!]
Upon seeing that familiar name and that black dragon that blotted out the sky, Ye Lingling couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ninth on the strength ranking, Di Tian?"
Ye Lingling pointed to the sky with a grin, "So it's that dragon."
She turned her head to look at Lu Ming, pouting slightly as she said in a coquettish tone:
"Ancestor, I still don't believe it."
"With my abilities, I'm only ranked seventh or eighth?"
"That so-called ninth-ranked genius, I inherited your divine position, I should at least be in the top five!"
In Ye Lingling's view, her ancestor was an invincible being.
As the inheritor of the ancestor and a god-level expert, how could I not even make it into the top five?
Lu Ming glanced at her, shook his head helplessly, and said nothing.
This girl is still too young.
The waters of Douluo Continent are far deeper than she imagined.
Just as Ye Lingling was still indignant about her ranking.
On the other side, Shui Bing'er, who had been silent all along, finally reached the brink of emotional collapse.
She kept her head down, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
"master!"
Shui Bing'er suddenly raised her head and shouted at Lu Ming.
The sudden shout startled everyone present.
Lu Ming paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shui Bing'er.
The usually well-behaved and sensible apprentice was now covered in tears, his eyes red and swollen.
"Bing'er, what's wrong?"
Lu Ming was a little confused. She was fine just now, so why did she suddenly start crying like this?
Shui Bing'er did not wipe away the tears on her face.
She looked directly into Lu Ming's eyes and asked, word by word:
"Master, are you willing to stay with Bing'er?"
"Let Bing'er stay with you forever?"
Lu Ming was completely confused.
What does this have to do with anything?
"Bing'er, you are my apprentice."
Lu Ming patiently explained, "You can come if you want. Your master didn't kick you out."
"Of course, following them around all the time is not an option."
Lu Ming said matter-of-factly, "You will also need to cultivate in the future and have your own life."
"Besides, your master also has his own things to do and can't take you with him all the time."
This is perfectly normal.
When an apprentice grows up, he will eventually graduate and become a master.
However, to Shui Bing'er, these words sounded like the cruelest rejection in the world.
Shui Bing'er clenched her fists even tighter, her nails digging deep into her palms, piercing her skin and drawing out a trace of bright red blood.
"master!"
Shui Bing'er spoke up, "Bing'er doesn't want to be your apprentice!"
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
Not want to be an apprentice?
Is this girl going through puberty?
