Chapter 391: This King Isn't That Bored

"Is that so?"

The girl let out an imperceptible sigh of relief, then said, "That is indeed a memory worth cherishing..."

"By the way, why did my consciousness appear here? How are you doing now? Did anything go wrong?" Qin Jian asked.

The girl hesitated slightly, then said softly, "It's my own impatience. These Spirit powers are truly too vast and chaotic; even I have no way to assimilate them all quickly. As a result, I was careless for a moment, my Spirit Sense suffered a backlash, and I ended up trapped in this Soul Storm..."

"Then what can be done now to help you?" Qin Jian asked.

The girl looked away and said hesitantly, "I need someone to share the burden..."

"I'll help you share the burden..."

Qin Jian said without the slightest hesitation, "What do I need to do?"

The girl turned back, looked at him earnestly, and said, "You can absorb the soul power that I cannot assimilate. In this way, your Spirit can also be strengthened, which means your Spirit Power will surge. With the promotion of your Ocean's Tear, your sustained combat ability will increase tenfold."

"Sustained combat ability... increase tenfold..."

Qin Jian's expression became somewhat strange.

The girl glared at him crossly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I am perfectly clear on what you've been using the Ocean's Tear for!"

"Cough..."

Qin Jian placed his hand over his mouth and coughed dryly, then asked, "Then what should I do?"

The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, and the look she gave him was ambiguous: "This process... will be very strange... are you really going to do it?"

Qin Jian nodded repeatedly: "I have to do it, I have to do it. Helping you recover as quickly as possible is the most important thing."

"Is helping me recover the most important thing..."

The girl suddenly lowered her eyes and said, "Then there are two plans now. One is for me to take human form immediately, but my strength will only recover to eighty percent. The other is for me to take human form with one hundred percent strength, but it will take a few more years. Which one... do you choose?"

Having experienced countless death-trap questions, it was impossible for Qin Jian to trip up on such a basic one. He said almost without thinking, "Of course, you should recover with one hundred percent strength. Compared to you taking human form, safety is more important. Didn't you say you can't be discovered before your strength is recovered?"

The girl slowly began to smile, a graceful smile that felt as pleasant as a gentle breeze.

Just as Qin Jian thought he had successfully earned some favor again, the girl suddenly curled the corners of her lips: "Qin Jian, are you too used to coaxing girls, to the point that you answered me without even clarifying the question?"

"Huh?"

Qin Jian's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran through his previous words a hundred times in his mind, then his eyes widened: "After taking human form immediately, how long would it take for your strength to recover from eighty percent to one hundred percent?"

"Hehe... if it were in the Life Lake, the time required would only be two or three years longer than the original form..." the girl said with a smile.

Qin Jian's face turned somewhat dark.

The girl smiled even more beautifully: "I was originally thinking of taking human form first to let you see my appearance, and then continue healing. But since you chose to let me take human form a few years later, then of course I must respect your thoughts."

"You wouldn't have been like this before..."

Qin Jian pinched the bridge of his nose with a look of deep distress: "Who exactly did you learn to be bad from, actually calculating my reaction..."

"Learned from whom?"

The girl looked at him strangely, as if looking at an idiot: "Of course I learned it from you. If you hadn't demonstrated those scumbag conversational tactics so many times, how could I have calculated it so accurately? If it weren't for all those thoughts filling your head, you definitely would have asked for clarification before answering me just now."

Qin Jian sighed softly and said, "Alright, then you stay in your original form until you are fully recovered before taking human form."

"Really?"

The girl seemed somewhat disbelieving: "This time you're actually not pestering me?"

Qin Jian was covered in sweat: "It sounds as if I pester you often..."

"Isn't that the case?"

The girl's Purple eyes slowly rolled in a small eye-roll: "You've asked for my name no less than ten million times alone..."

"I was just trying to confirm it, that's all."

Qin Jian held his forehead: "For so many Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, you wouldn't tell me who you were, so couldn't I investigate a little?"

At that time, there was only a voice. Although he suspected her identity, he didn't dare to be certain.

"That seems true. After you heard that I was the Silver Dragon King, you stopped obsessing over asking for my real name."

The girl was thoughtful: "Could it be that you actually knew of me?"

This topic would be hard to explain if it continued...

Qin Jian then said, "Anyway, I know your name is Na'er now."

This time it was the girl's turn to hold her forehead: "Can you not call me so affectionately?"

This gesture was very Qin Jian...

"Then what should I call you?"

Qin Jian said with a smile: "Should I call you... little Na'er? Or darling Na'er? Or perhaps... little darling Na'er?"

The girl's expression at this moment was almost impossible to describe.

She rubbed her arms, looking as if she had been frozen.

"Don't call me with such a disgusting tone!" she said with feigned anger.

The fleeting charm of the beautiful girl's unintentional annoyance almost made Qin Jian swoon...

"Cough, that said, let's not take human form yet, what do we need to do?" Qin Jian also felt he had gone a bit too far and quickly restrained himself.

"Are you really willing to let me take human form a few years later?" the girl couldn't help but ask again.

Qin Jian still nodded without hesitation: "After all, taking human form early would delay your recovery, unlike what you said before about it not affecting things. So recovery is more important. Anyway, I'll always be able to see you in human form, right? And I'll be the first one to see it, right?"

His smiling appearance left the girl somewhat stunned.

She had thought that she would definitely have to take human form earlier this time, and she herself didn't mind it that much.

After all, it was only a delay of two or three years; compared to the countless Ten Thousand Years of the past, it was nothing at all.

Being able to make him happier was also the first thing she thought of.

Yet she truly hadn't expected that he wouldn't even want to delay her for two or three years.

This was what he had said before: when two people consider each other completely, then it is no longer one person loving themselves, but simultaneously harvesting two people, two shares of love... pfft!

"What 'two people, two loves'—this King doesn't have such boring thoughts!"

The girl shook her head fiercely, causing her soft silver hair to flutter and release waves of faint fragrance.

Of course, this fragrance was most likely something Qin Jian had imagined himself...

"Alright, I will tell you what to do now..."

The girl straightened her expression and finally began to discuss serious matters: "My original plan was to use my own Spirit Sense to condense the power of the Spirit, turning all the Spirits into Spirit vessels to carry the Spirit Sense; in this way, after a few years, once they were completely assimilated, I would be able to bring this massive Spirit power back to the Life Lake and directly restore my original body..."

"But I underestimated how difficult it is to assimilate such massive power, so I need you to help me share the burden now..."
