Ye Tian adjusted his breathing and sat cross-legged on Bi Bi Dong's bed, preparing to immerse himself in cultivation.
He had just summoned his Martial Soul.
As soon as his condition improved and his mind cleared, Ye Tian instantly recalled the good news Bi Bi Dong had mentioned earlier.
Curiosity sparked within him.
Unable to resist, he called out toward the bathroom, "By the way, teacher, what was the good news you mentioned earlier?"
Splash!
The only response was the sound of water from the bathroom.
"..."
Ye Tian waited a moment, then raised his voice again. "Teacher, did a Wolf Thief drop a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone?"
"..."
This time, there was no movement from the bathroom—not even the sound of water.
Bi Bi Dong stood inside the bathroom, her hair disheveled and her body drenched. Completely unclothed, her snow-white skin trembled as she gritted her teeth and angrily retorted, "When will you ever change this delusional bad habit of yours? Wolf Thieves aren't Soul Beasts—how could they drop Soul Bones?"
"Huh?"
Ye Tian looked puzzled.
He distinctly remembered that one of Dai Mubai's Soul Bones was supposedly obtained by Tang San and the others from a Wolf Thief.
Could it be that he remembered incorrectly?
Ye Tian glanced toward the bathroom and tentatively asked another question. "Teacher, are you sure?"
"..."
In the bathroom, Bi Bi Dong stood stiffly under the hot water, her teeth clenched in fury.
Yet, faced with Ye Tian's question, she found herself unable to give a definitive answer.
Just because something hadn't happened before didn't mean it was impossible.
Hadn't Innate Full Spirit Power in the Food system already appeared?
After so long, her face had long been metaphorically slapped red by Ye Tian!
After a long silence, Bi Bi Dong's cheeks flushed crimson from the steam.
Not wanting to argue with Ye Tian over such a trivial matter, she reluctantly explained, "The probability of a Soul Bone appearing is extremely low. In any case, there has been no precedent of a Wolf Thief dropping a Soul Bone so far."
As she finished speaking, Bi Bi Dong felt a pang of discomfort.
She had actually become the submissive, yielding party in front of Ye Tian!
"Is that so?" Ye Tian nodded slightly and said no more.
After all, his intention had been to discuss, not to argue with Bi Bi Dong.
Knowing when to stop was for the best.
Before Ye Tian could ask further, Bi Bi Dong suppressed her unease and continued, "If there is a suitable Soul Bone for you, I will naturally keep an eye out. The good news I wanted to tell you is related to your second Spirit Ring."
"My second Spirit Ring?!"
At this, Ye Tian's eyes widened immediately, and he asked urgently, "Teacher, what's the good news? Have you already found a suitable Soul Beast for me?"
"Correct."
Bi Bi Dong meticulously wiped every part of her body, leaving no crevice untouched.
Simultaneously, she chuckled proudly, "Although the chances were slim, I gave orders long ago for the Spirit Hall's affiliates to watch for any possible appearances of Herb-Type Soul Beasts."
"!!!"
Ye Tian's heart trembled, and his heartbeat quickened. "Teacher, are you saying... you've already found a Herb-Type Soul Beast suitable for my second Spirit Ring?"
"Nonsense!" Bi Bi Dong shot a glance at the bathroom door, her eyes filled with reproach. "Why else would I call it good news?"
"Ah—! That's wonderful, truly wonderful! As expected of my dear teacher!"
Ye Tian was overjoyed.
He had long discussed the matter of his second Spirit Ring with Bi Bi Dong and had identified several suitable Spirit Beasts. Among them were a few rare Herb-Type Soul Beasts that were difficult to encounter.
Therefore, if Bi Bi Dong said it was suitable, it must undoubtedly be suitable!
Ye Tian eagerly pressed, "Teacher, what is the name of that herb? How many years of cultivation does it have?"
"Oh? So you can be this impatient too?" Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course! I've been waiting for so many days, looking forward to you returning and taking me on a Soul Hunt every single day!" Ye Tian replied without hesitation.
Anyone who has cultivated knows that leveling up can be addictive!
"Is that so? Then I'll tell you." Bi Bi Dong raised her jade-like hands, gently wiping the spherical surface as she began to explain:
"It's a Spirit Beast called the Moonlit Water Lotus. A Soul Emperor from the Spirit Hall encountered it while passing by a lake in the Star Dou Great Forest. Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, according to his description, the Spirit Beast's cultivation is roughly between thirty-five hundred and four thousand years."
As her words fell, Bi Bi Dong's hand, which had been tending to the wound, suddenly paused.
What had Ye Tian just said?
He had been looking forward to the Soul Hunt for several days?
Then!
That meant Ye Tian hadn't been concerned about his dear teacher at all?!
Realizing this, Bi Bi Dong was struck with sudden clarity but also overwhelmed with fury!
This damned brat actually dared to play word games and mock her!
"Moonlit Water Fairy?!" Ye Tian murmured, his eyes widening in shock before filling with ecstasy.
He had no idea that the pretty words he had spoken, which Bi Bi Dong had taken seriously, had just been exposed by his own mouth as lies.
Ye Tian's mind was solely occupied with all the information about that Herb-Type Soul Beast!
The Moonlit Water Lotus, also known as the Moonlit Water Fairy or simply Moon in Water!
Such names weren't just because they took root where the moon's reflection appeared on the water's surface. It was also related to their unique cultivation method.
Many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
The Moonlit Water Lotus was no exception, except it exclusively favored the essence of the moon. Usually, it remained dormant at the bottom of the water, buried in mud, only rising to the surface when moonlight shone upon the water and the environment was safe, beginning to absorb the moon's essence for cultivation.
Once the moonlight faded, it would submerge again.
More crucially, the Moonlit Water Fairy was also a master of illusion!
The essence of the moon was its source of power.
"Teacher, when do we set off for the Soul Hunt?!" Ye Tian could barely contain his excitement.
Even if the Moonlit Water Fairy's cultivation was at most four thousand years, slightly less than the forty-two hundred years he could currently withstand, the fact that it was a Herb-Type Soul Beast was enough to make up for that few-hundred-year gap!
This was a rare opportunity not to be missed.
"Huh?" To Ye Tian's surprise, the bathroom suddenly fell silent.
"Teacher, are you still in there?"
"You—wretched—brat—!"A voice seething with gritted teeth fury erupted from the bathroom, faintly tinged with shame and humiliation."
"What?" Ye Tian was utterly confused.
Inside the bathroom, Bi Bi Dong was trembling with rage, grinding her teeth as she spat out, "Ye Tian, you're something else! The kind of scoundrel who deceives people's feelings is what I despise most in this life!"
"What?" Ye Tian was completely bewildered.
When had he ever deceived Bi Bi Dong's feelings?!
Bang—!
A loud crash made Ye Tian shudder all over.
After hastily wiping the wound, Bi Bi Dong grabbed a towel, kicked open the bathroom door, and stood there with reddened eyes fixed intently on Ye Tian.
"State your last words, you brat. How exactly do you want to die?!"
