Chapter 66
Qian Renxue's drowsiness was jolted awake by Bi Bi Dong; damn, Bi Bi Dong, what the heck are you messing with! Why are you still so plain! This is way too heavy. You don't even play in a band! With all this, Qian Renxue's craving for drama flared up.
Qian Renxue turned her head sideways, looking at Bi Bi Dong with a gaze as if she were watching insects.
"How much resolve did you have when you said that?"
"Eh?"
Bi Bi Dong widened her eyes, apparently not expecting Qian Renxue to say that.
"Without the Spirit Hall, you're just an ordinary title Douluo; can you bear someone else's life?"
"Willing to do anything! That's the kind of heavy weight!"
Qian Renxue clenched the fist that Bi Bi Dong was holding.
"If you can't do it, don't speak casually!"
Bi Bi Dong gripped Qian Renxue's hand tightly.
"But! Mom really—"
Qian Renxue cleanly yanked her hand out of Bi Bi Dong's embrace, "Eh?"
Qian Renxue gave Bi Bi Dong a cold glance.
"You, honestly, think only of yourself."
After saying that, she turned to leave; Qian Renxue wore a stone face, but inside she felt extremely satisfied! The performance was over, what a thrill!
Bi Bi Dong, trembling with fear, reached out as if to grasp the departing figure.
"Don't! I—"
Just as Bi Bi Dong fell into madness, desperate to kill herself, she suddenly saw the storage ring on her hand.
"I—I remember! Snow, do you need an external soul bone? Mom obtained an external soul bone years ago when hunting a soul beast!"
Qian Renxue: "!"
Qian Renxue's steps halted instantly; her previously cold expression softened at once, that nasty woman always plays the cheeky act.
"Why didn't you say it earlier! Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had the external soul bone, you should have brought it out! If you had brought it out earlier, I would have been much gentler! The sooner, the better!" Qian Renxue swiftly turned back to Bi Bi Dong, gently helping her up.
"Bathing? What else would I bathe for! Nothing is more important than her cultivation! 'Look at you, all anxious! Snow only wants to go out and ask you for some Crimson Flame Fruit, what are you trying to talk about? Come on, let's go into the house and take a soak.'"
A warm, sweet smile spread across Qian Renxue's face; she had practiced that smile in front of a mirror, a full 360‑degree flawless grin! If you don't work on your looks, how can you handle admirers? Bi Bi Dong stared at Qian Renxue, a bit stunned, and after a moment she joyfully leapt into Qian Renxue's arms.
"Snow! Will you forgive Mom?"
Qian Renxue hummed.
"Then we have to check the quality of the item first; I'm not that easy to fool."
As for Bi Bi Dong, she now deliberately puts on a snobbish front, because only that will put Bi Bi Dong at ease.
The void‑like, inexplicable love is now the thing that scares Bi Bi Dong the most; only an exchange of benefits can make Bi Bi Dong feel at ease.
Qian Renxue is now stating clearly that as long as you treat me well enough, I will be willing to accept and love you.
She doesn't want empty verbal promises; she only wants tangible benefits delivered before her.
Qian Renxue rubbed her small hands in anticipation, "Bring whatever good thing quickly! My mother!" With curiosity on her face, Qian Renxue didn't even glance at Bi Bi Dong's big white legs; her mind was full of the external soul bone. "What kind of external soul bone is it?"
Bi Bi Dong flicked her wrist, and a small black case appeared in her hand.
Qian Renxue opened the black case, and a red soul‑power ripple spread through the bathtub.
A tail! Inside was a fluffy, exquisite fire‑red fox tail! The tail was as dazzling as flame.
Huh? A tail‑shaped external soul bone! That's a good find! Qian Renxue happened to lack this type of soul bone.
But it seems this is the external soul bone that Hu Liena used on the Hell Road in the original work! So this is the item Bi Bi Dong gave her from the original.
Qian Renxue had thought Hu Liena, like Tang San, obtained the external soul bone after absorbing a soul ring.
"Snow, this is an external soul bone produced by a ten‑thousand‑year‑old Crimson Flame Demon Fox!"
"You don't have an external soul bone yet, do you? Mom will give this bone to you; will you forgive Mom?"
Bi Bi Dong carefully observed Qian Renxue's complexion.
Bi Bi Dong's martial soul is a spider, which doesn't match this external soul bone; she would never use it in battle, and a spider with a tail is too grotesque! She's also a woman who loves beauty, so if the style doesn't suit her she won't force it.
Actually this soul bone was originally intended for the little girl whose awakened demon‑fox martial soul is named Hu Liena; Bi Bi Dong had already met those four children two months ago, but compared with the naturally full‑soul‑power Holy Light Kirin, she instantly favored the child called Hu Liena.
Initially it was a case of loving the house and the crow, thinking her hair color resembled Qian Renxue's, so she wanted to keep her close.
But now Snow is already by her side, so why look for a low‑tier version?
The Crimson Flame Demon Fox spirit beasts often hide deep within scorching volcanoes.
They are extremely cunning and swift, moving like phantoms, making their tracks hard to trace.
A notable trait is their ability to freely control the raging flames, the fire seeming to merge with them as a source of power.
The flame's temperature is extremely high, possessing great destructive power, capable of incinerating anything that approaches.
The Crimson Flame Demon Fox also possesses extraordinary perception, keenly detecting even the slightest changes around it, allowing rapid response.
They are highly intelligent and especially adept at using fire for camouflage, silently carrying out actions under the cover of blazing flames.
"It's just the Crimson Flame Demon Fox's tail; Mom doesn't know what it does, maybe it'll grant you a fire‑type soul skill!"
Qian Renxue touched the external soul bone pulsing with strong energy.
"Once I absorb it, I'll know its soul skill. Mother, you go take a medicinal bath first; although your outward condition has recovered, the hidden injuries aren't fully healed."
Qian Renxue picked up the ten‑thousand‑year‑old Crimson Flame Demon Fox's external tail bone placed before her, inhaled deeply to calm herself, then slowly circulated her internal soul power.
She extended both hands, attaching the tail to her coccyx; the moment her skin touched the tail bone, a scorching aura instantly spread throughout her body.
Qian Renxue guided the power with even greater excitement; the stronger it got, the more she liked it, focusing even more on directing it.
As her soul power continuously poured in, the tail bone began to emit a dazzling glow and trembled slightly. Qian Renxue felt a massive energy trying to surge into her body; she fully opened her meridians to welcome the influx.
"The Crimson Flame Demon Fox's fire power surged in like a tide, crashing wildly inside her, but before Qian Renxue it's child's play. What level are you, trying to show off in front of me? Believe it or not, I'll make you fly! Gradually, that raging force became tamed, flowing orderly through her meridians, eventually fully merging into her body."
At that moment, Qian Renxue felt as if she had been reborn, filled with unprecedented power.
She gently swayed the newly fused external tailbone behind her, and a powerful scorching heat aura also spread out with it.
Brothers, am I fierce? Begging for votes, I love you! ()(End of chapter)
