Chapter 60

Everything last night was still vivid in his mind like a dream. Although he hadn't really eaten the meat, it was only the last step away.

Of course, Shu Yan was not someone who would wrong himself. After Xu Jiujiu suffered many grievances and fled in a panic, the golden ribbon fell on the soft couch, and all kinds of clothes fell on the ground in a mess. It was vaguely visible how "tossing" the "fighting" just now was.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that Xu Jiujiu returned from outside wearing a white silk nightgown. Her golden long hair still carried a hint of water vapor. Obviously, she had just taken a bath.

Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Jiujiu's resentful expression toward him, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Jiujiu, why didn't you call me for something like taking a bath? Actually, I wasn't thinking about anything bad, I just felt that this is more water-saving..."

Xu Jiujiu listened to Shu Yan's voice full of teasing, and after angrily grabbing a pillow and beating Shu Yan up, she walked toward the quiet room at the back with satisfaction, and said softly at the same time:

"I can't wait anymore. I'll just go absorb that left leg bone tonight. If you can't sleep, protect this princess. Anyway, don't leave me more than twenty meters away."

Shu Yan watched Xu Jiujiu's figure disappear behind the curtain and sighed helplessly. But where is it not cultivation? His own little princess wants him to accompany her, can he refuse?

Just kidding, just for Xu Jiujiu's "enduring humiliation and bearing the burden" just now, he couldn't let the other party down, right...

A night passed quickly. A faint light was still radiating from Xu Jiujiu's fair calves. Her beautiful brows frowned slightly, as if she was in some pain. Shu Yan sat cross-legged and cultivated in the courtyard less than ten meters away from her, and at the same time began to study the soul imprint left by Electrolux in his mental sea.

According to Electrolux, this soul imprint contained the certificate to enter and exit the undead half-plane freely and some of the simplest necromancy. He still needed to sleep for a while, so he left such an imprint for Shu Yan to study himself, which was also a preliminary understanding of necromancy, so that he could teach Shu Yan more powerful necromancy later.

Shu Yan didn't resist necromancy. Compared to the cumbersome soul tools that required a lot of time and energy to learn, he was actually more interested in this power that was completely different from the Douluo plane, and naturally was willing to spend effort on it.

Everything had been stable these few days, and there was no major event that required Shu Yan to worry about himself, so he was very calm at the moment, which was just right for him to understand this brand-new power.

After a series of attempts, Shu Yan couldn't help but be lost in thought looking at those cumbersome spells.

Due to the different plane systems, the display of necromancy in the Douluo plane required the combination of spells and soul power, so that it could be perfectly displayed.

Shu Yan's comprehension ability had always been in the top tier, but in learning necromancy, he still seemed a bit rash. Looking at the seemingly simple necromancy becoming a mess under his hands, Shu Yan very decisively forgave the remaining few trembling bone rabbits, then ended their lives in another way, and brought them to the grill...

After Xu Jiujiu absorbed the soul bone and woke up, the first feeling was that she smelled a very rich fragrance. Xu Jiujiu glanced at the time, then put on her shoes and walked out of the room.

Shu Yan skillfully brushed seasoning on the sizzling bone rabbit. Beside him, the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors, who were attracted by the fragrance, were sitting together chatting leisurely. After stretching, Xu Jiujiu was in a great mood and then walked toward the three of Shu Yan.

"Sister Xue, Sister Bingbing, good afternoon..." Sensing Xu Jiujiu's approach, the Snow Empress nodded first and then pointed to the empty chair beside her, signaling Xu Jiujiu to sit down.

The Ice Empress put down the drink cup in her hand, tilted her head and leaned toward Xu Jiujiu, then said: "I heard from Shu Yan that you are breaking through, not bad. A fifteen-year-old Soul Ancestor, if you work hard, you should have hope of breaking through to a high-level Soul King before the age of twenty."

Xu Jiujiu smiled, nodded, and said:

"I hope so. However, after breaking through to Soul Ancestor, the speed at which my martial soul absorbs star power should increase by about 20%. Coupled with the assistance of some special soul tools, I also have to start cultivating wholeheartedly, striving to enter the Soul King level as soon as possible. Otherwise, the competition in three years will be a bit embarrassing..."

The Ice Empress thought hard with her little head and then asked: "Is it the All-Continent something-something competition that is held every five years as written in the book?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded, then glanced at Shu Yan, who was still patiently roasting the bone rabbit, and said with some regret:

"I once asked A-Yan to accompany me to participate in this competition. With his participation, coupled with the comprehensive control and defense of my Star Crown martial soul, it should not be difficult to shatter Shrek's myth of being undefeated for ten thousand years. But A-Yan has always had no interest in this kind of competition, and I don't want to force him, so I rarely mention it again..."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Shu Yan, and then said softly:

"Is this kind of competition very important to you?"

Xu Jiujiu was slightly stunned and then explained: "In a sense, it is extremely important. Hosting such a grand event is of great help to the improvement of the country's and city's reputation. At the same time, during the competition, you can also get a considerable income by selling tickets or other opportunities, which is also of great help to the national treasury."

"In addition, if you can defeat Shrek Academy, which maintains the myth of being undefeated for ten thousand years, on the field, what you get is not just reputation, but also some deeper things. Even for a large empire, it is also a major event that is enough to inspire people."

The Ice Empress frowned as she listened, and then said with a wrinkled face: "You humans are really strange, and the things you make are also like this. It's better for our soul beast clan to be direct..."

"This..."

Xu Jiujiu was speechless. She thought about it carefully, and she had some ideas in her heart, but she didn't know how to express them.

Just then, the Snow Empress spoke again: "Bing'er, don't talk nonsense. The races are different after all. Since it can be so valued by an Imperial Princess like Jiujiu, it is impossible for it to be something meaningless..."

"Sister Xue is right. Whether the Soul Master competition is meaningful depends on the angle from which people are. To be honest, this thing itself has no meaning to me at all. But for example, if I win this competition, Jiujiu will be very happy, and then agree to my marriage proposal, then the Soul Master competition will have meaning to me. Different angles, very normal things..."

Shu Yan's voice also came from the side. Feeling the slightly teasing gazes of the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors, Xu Jiujiu blushed again unpromisingly...
