Chapter 76: I Can Die Too

"Sister, you will die!"

"Bing'er, you will die!"

Everyone was stunned.

Whether it was Xue Wu or Shui Yue'er, they all knew that Shui Bing'er possessed such power, but they also knew that it was absolutely not something she could release at her current level.

It required sufficient soul power to support it; if she forced it, the final result would inevitably be Shui Bing'er's death!

"When he turned back, he didn't think about dying!"

"When he charged up, he didn't think about dying either!"

"Then..."

Endless ice light suddenly erupted from Shui Bing'er's body.

"I can also die!"

Tears streamed down Xue Wu's face, but she still added all her soul skills onto Shui Bing'er.

"Screech! —"

A pure phoenix cry resounded over this forest, and a noble aura instantly enveloped everything.

Qin Jian, inside the pink ball of light, widened his eyes: "This is too much! This idiot!"

The next moment, the ball of light shattered, and Qin Jian's figure rushed out at extreme speed, arriving in front of Shui Bing'er in an instant, and without a word, he hugged her.

"Hum!"

The radiance of the Purple Sword martial soul on his body bloomed in synchronization, gradually merging into one with the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul...

Only then did Shui Bing'er, who had completely overdrawn herself, regain a bit of clarity.

"Qin... Qin Jian... are you alright..." she murmured while leaning in Qin Jian's arms.

Qin Jian said irritably: "You don't even want to live, how could I dare to be alright!"

"It's good that you're alright..."

Shui Bing'er leaned weakly against him and said: "I didn't expect that the two of us could actually awaken a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

She smiled very contentedly, just like a child...

Qin Jian slowly reached out and touched her cheek, his gaze very complex.

He whispered: "You... are also a fool..."

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Sword Phoenix!"

At this moment, the ice-blue phoenix, condensed from countless Sword Light, finally took shape.

"Screech!"

With a phoenix cry, the Sword Phoenix charged toward that pink Rabbit...

"Boom!"

Dust and smoke rose throughout the entire forest.

And when all the aftermath subsided, Xue Wu and the others were stunned.

Because in front of Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er, the originally lush forest had been plowed into a long, empty path!

"This... is too powerful..." Qiu Ruoshui murmured.

Xue Wu's gaze was somewhat unfocused: "Is this kind of destructive power really something the Captain and Bing'er created?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill... I didn't expect their martial souls to be so compatible..." Yu Hairou exclaimed.

"Stop talking over there, hurry up and come help us up; this time we have truly, completely drained our bodies..."

Qin Jian's weak voice came over, and the few girls finally woke up as if from a dream.

But when they scrambled to run over, that nightmarish pink beam of light shot over again...

"Swish!"

They had no time to react at all before they saw Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er both wrapped up by a pink ball of light, and then carried toward the depths of the forest at the speed of light...

"Captain! Bing'er!"

The six girls shouted in vain, but could only watch in despair as the figures of Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er completely disappeared from sight...

"Auntie Da Wu, you were too ruthless today... I only asked you to provide some tests..."

Deep in the forest, the scenery flashed by at extreme speed like light and shadow, making it impossible to see clearly.

And inside the wrapping ball of light, Shui Bing'er had long since fainted from exhaustion.

Qin Jian held her gently, his expression tender.

"Xiao Qing, I didn't strike very hard, don't wrong your aunt..."

A gentle woman's voice rang out in Qin Jian's mind: "That Instructor of yours exhausted herself by overusing her Spirit Avatar, and this little girl in your arms wanted to die herself... it has nothing to do with Auntie..."

"Alright..."

Qin Jian nodded helplessly.

If it weren't for the immense pressure she gave, Yan Zhining wouldn't have fought for her life, and as for Shui Bing'er...

That was truly triggered only when she saw him captured and waiting to die...

"What an idiot..."

He couldn't help but wrap his arms tighter around Shui Bing'er's body...

"Xiao Qing, it's been years since you've come home to visit; don't you miss Auntie, or Da Ming and Er Ming?"

The woman's voice carried a hint of reproach.

Qin Jian said: "I want to come back to see you all too, but I can't find a suitable opportunity, and my teacher, Jian Douluo, discovered my identity, so I can no longer use the excuse of obtaining a Soul Ring..."

"Jian Douluo? A human?!"

The woman's voice immediately became serious: "Xiao Qing, did he not try to seize your Million-Year Soul Ring and soul bone?"

A warm smile appeared on Qin Jian's face: "Not at all, Teacher is a very good person, and he had already spent five or six years with me by the time he discovered my identity, which is why he was able to resist the temptation."

"You still must be careful, do not be deceived; after all, humans will never treat us as partners. In their eyes, we are nothing more than Soul Rings to be taken at will."

The woman exhorted: "You know, if it weren't for you sparing no Ten Thousand Year soul power to emit the Love Mist Illusion that year, making the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong instantly experience a Ten-Thousand-Year Love Tribulation in a dream, I would have already been killed by her..."

Qin Jian blinked his eyes.

He knew that Bibi Dong's current Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was not actually the one from Xiao Wu's mother in the original story, but was formed from his own Ten Thousand Year soul power.

He hoped Bibi Dong would not remember the appearance of the male protagonist in that Ten-Thousand-Year Love Tribulation... After all, it was a dreamscape he constructed, so it was entirely generated using himself as the template...

He asked again: "More than ten years have passed, Aunt Da Wu, are you still unable to transform back into human form?"

Swish, swish, swish...

The Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast named Da Wu carried him and Shui Bing'er as they traveled at high Speed through the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, yet no Soul Beast dared to attack.

"My soul power was scattered by Bibi Dong; it is not easy to transform back into human form. I estimate it will take at least another ten years," the woman's voice said.

Qin Jian frowned: "Bibi Dong... I hope I won't have any dealings with her in the future..."

"You are talking about the Nine Trials of the Love God, right..."

The woman's voice continued to come through: "Actually, if she is one of them, that would be quite good. Xiao Qing, you can go and hurt her heart severely, making her fall into pain; that would count as taking revenge for Auntie!"

Qin Jian was somewhat speechless: "That would require me to invest my own feelings too. Bibi Dong is a woman whose life has been too bumpy, she is the exalted Pope, and her personality also has major issues. It's not that easy for her to fall in love with someone..."

"I see you are at level 26 soul power; have you already captured one girl?"

The woman said with a smile: "Is the one in your arms the second?"

Qin Jian gave a soft "Mm," and then fell silent.

"Xiao Qing, I know your true form is the Love Flower of ultimate emotion and nature, and you cannot control your own feelings, but although the process of many things is bumpy, they often have better endings..."

The woman's voice became a bit softer: "So, don't be too conflicted. Love when you should love, part when you should part. At worst, after you become a god, you can pursue them all back one by one..."

That was... truly the first time he had seen an elder encourage someone to be a scumbag...

Qin Jian gave another "Mm," and changed the subject: "Aunt Da Wu, has Xiao Wu ever come back?"

"That stinky girl Xiao Wu hasn't come back even once!"

The woman said indignantly: "Once that girl went out, she was like a wild horse let loose, she doesn't even want her mother anymore!"

"Hehe..."

Qin Jian couldn't help but laugh, comforting her: "Don't worry, Aunt Da Wu, she is also a Soul Beast transformed into a human; she must interact with people to grow."

The woman sighed: "Sigh, if it weren't for you biting her too hard back then, Xiao Qing, she should be with you right now..."
