Bab 430: Chapter 428: The Smile Gradually Turns to Trash_1
"Right, in gratitude for saving me, I may consider giving you a treasure," Xu Ran said, holding a pair of Sharp-tailed Swallow wing bones in his hand.
"What treasure?" Bai Chenxiang's eyes lit up as she blinked at Xu Ran.
"Your Martial Soul is the Sharp-tailed Swallow, right? I happen to have a pair of Sharp-tailed Swallow wing bones here, they're attached soul bones."
"Attached soul bones? You're not joking, are you?"
Bai Chenxiang was completely stunned, standing at the door for a moment before hurrying over to Xu Ran with small, quick steps.
The Sharp-tailed Swallow was an extraordinarily fast-flying soul beast, extremely rare in the Aquipeia Forest. She didn't even have a single Soul Ring from a Sharp-tailed Swallow, let alone a soul bone.
A flying soul beast like the Sharp-tailed Swallow that reigned supreme in speed, and now a pair of wing bones as attached soul bones, oh heavens!
If she could have these attached soul bones, wouldn't she be able to fly in the future?
And then, her speed would absolutely increase by many times. Even though she was only a Soul Elder now, with the wing bones of the Sharp-tailed Swallow, her speed might even compare to that of a Soul Sage.
By then, even if she lacked combat strength, no one her age could hope to harm her.
Not to mention, flying in the sky, many Soul Masters on the ground wouldn't even be able to touch her.
In an instant, desire was kindled in Bai Chenxiang's heart. Her big, sparkling eyes blinked, looking at Xu Ran with the anticipation of shining stars.
"Call me Brother Xu Ran and I'll give them to you," Xu Ran said unhurriedly.
"No way, I won't call you that."
"You couldn't be trying to take advantage of me by saying this on purpose, could you? You definitely don't have Sharp-tailed Swallow soul bones," Bai Chenxiang took a couple of steps back, warily watching Xu Ran.
To have her call him Brother? How could she?
And it sounded so cheesy too. She had only known Xu Ran for such a short time, and he wanted her to call him Brother Xu Ran...
"If you don't want them, that's too bad. Such a waste, attached soul bones, and of the Sharp-tailed Swallow too. I might as well use them to make soup, it'd be good to boil some bone soup to help me recover," Xu Ran said languidly. A pair of green soul bones appeared in his hand, and when the soul bones appeared, the sound of air being torn could be heard all around.
Waves of a breeze blew from the soul bones, ripples of dense energy undulating in the air. From within the soul bones came faint calls of the Sharp-tailed Swallow, the sound of the birdsong made Bai Chenxiang feel as if her Martial Soul was being drawn out.
This was indeed the Sharp-tailed Swallow!
And it was the wing bones!
Oh heavens!
Attached soul bones!
Bai Chenxiang's heart surged with shock and awe. The Sharp-tailed Swallow might not be considered an especially powerful soul beast; its peculiarity lay in its speed. But now Sharp-tailed Swallows were not numerous in Soul Land. Even if there were any, they were almost impossible to capture due to their outstanding speed. So it wasn't just her, even her grandfather had never procured a Soul Ring from a Sharp-tailed Swallow, let alone a soul bone!
Soul bones were extremely precious treasures throughout the Continent, and attached soul bones were invaluable.
Attached soul bones are capable of growth and can grow along with the Soul Master. In the world of Soul Masters, the value of attached soul bones is second only to hundred-thousand-year soul bones!
Winged attached soul bones are much more precious than other attached soul bones because aside from the soul skills they provide, the flight capability of the wings alone can be considered a divine skill.
Seeing the soul bone in Xu Ran's hand, Bai Chenxiang felt her heart soften completely, and her gaze toward Xu Ran became incredibly tender.
A Sharp-tailed Swallow's wing bone, such a treasure is precious. If such an item were brought into the outside world, it would immediately cause a sensation. And now, one lay within Xu Ran's grasp.
Could it be that Xu Ran ventured into the Aquipeia Forest just for her to obtain this soul bone?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Xu Ran just happened to have a Sharp-tailed Swallow's soul bone—especially one that's a wing bone, a rare treasure?
The Sharp-tailed Swallow, a soul beast that resides in the inner area of the Aquipeia Forest, how did Xu Ran manage to obtain this soul bone?
At this moment, Bai Chenxiang's mind conjured up such a scene:
Xu Ran, clad in a Black Robe, looking magnificent, navigating through the inner area of the Aquipeia Forest, unafraid of the many soul beasts inside because his target was a powerful Sharp-tailed Swallow.
Xu Ran, wielding a long sword, with each swing a soul beast perished. As time went on, Xu Ran's body accumulated many injuries, with copious amounts of blood flowing from him, staining his robe and body red. Yet even so, his eyes remained firmly resolute, closely following a powerful Sharp-tailed Swallow, ultimately killing it with a single strike, as Xu Ran's strength was drained…
Looking at Xu Ran's peaceful smile, Bai Chenxiang suddenly felt a tug at her heartstrings, her nose tingling with emotion.
"Brother Xu Ran," Bai Chenxiang said with a sob in her voice, her beautiful eyes resting on Xu Ran, filled with gratitude.
Even if Xu Ran didn't say anything, she knew that the soul bone was hard-earned.
For years, the Min Clan had not had a single Sharp-tailed Swallow soul bone, let alone an attached soul bone. The thing that they couldn't obtain despite years of effort, Xu Ran managed to acquire, could only mean that Xu Ran had paid a great price. If not for a great sacrifice, how could Xu Ran have obtained such a treasure?
And Xu Ran wanted to give this attached soul bone to her directly…
This moved her even more.
Bai Chenxiang was just an ordinary girl, how could she be worthy of Xu Ran treating her like this?
Xu Ran was a favored son of heaven, why would he waste his time and energy on her?
"Here, this is for you," Xu Ran said as he placed the soul bone into Bai Chenxiang's hands. The soul bone was highly valuable, but he had the countless years of reserves from the Aquipeia Forest, even though the Sharp-tailed Swallow's wing bone was rare, it wasn't much to him.
"Brother Xu Ran, do you not know the value of this soul bone? It's an attached soul bone. If you sold it, it could bring in a lot of money," Bai Chenxiang said, her nose souring, her heart deeply touched.
For her, at this moment, Xu Ran's attitude toward her was what made her happiest. Xu Ran's sincerity toward her mattered more than the attached soul bone.
Does Xu Ran really like her?
Previously, she thought Xu Ran was just a playboy, and that his words were just idle chatter. But she didn't expect Xu Ran to be truly sincere. Willing to give her such a precious soul bone, Xu Ran could hardly be the kind of person who merely coveted a girl's body.
"No matter how expensive a soul bone may be, it has a price, but in my heart, you are priceless," Xu Ran said in an exceedingly gentle tone, his smile gradually deteriorating.
"Thank you," Bai Chenxiang wiped away the tears from her eyes and spoke softly. In that moment, Xu Ran's place in her heart had completely changed. Although nothing was explicitly stated, Bai Chenxiang had already felt her heart stir for Xu Ran.
