"Is this an attached soul bone?" Bi Bidong's voice trembled.
Where her gaze fell, there were eight crimson soul bones, gleaming with a lustrous glow. She could clearly feel the difference in this soul bone.
Though it was an inanimate object, it brimmed with vitality.
The key point was that it was an attached soul bone from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, which was perfect for her.
Even though she presided over the Martial Soul Hall with the resources of the entire Hall at her disposal, even she found it difficult to come across a soul bone that caught her fancy. Those with attributes close to hers might not have the requisite age, and while some might be old enough, their attributes weren't always the most suitable, and then there was the limitation of where the soul bone could be placed.
Attached soul bones, however, were not affected by the restrictions of soul bone placement.
This was absolutely the most suitable soul bone for her!
With this soul bone, her strength would see a substantial improvement. Others might not be able to fully unlock the potential of an attached soul bone, but she was confident she could do it.
At that point, with her strength improved one step further, she could even attempt to reach the pinnacle of a Titled Douluo. Now, without the help of the Rakshasa God, she had to rely on herself for strength improvement. But she was confident, she might well become the first soul master in the history of the Continent to break through to level 99 through normal cultivation.
Of course, Xu Ran, that freak, was another story.
No one could compare to Xu Ran; if you took him as a benchmark, you'd work yourself to death.
No, working to death wouldn't even get you to Xu Ran's level.
There was only one Xu Ran in this world, and there could only ever be one Xu Ran.
"Is this for me?" Bi Bidong's voice shook. Attached soul bones were extremely valuable, especially a spider-kind attached soul bone. The value of this soul bone far exceeded the hundred-thousand-year soul bone she possessed.
The soul bone from a Soft Bone Rabbit well over a hundred thousand years old was far inferior to this attached soul bone.
What was suitable was best.
The soul bone from the Man-Faced Demon Spider was undoubtedly the most suitable for her.
At this moment, Bi Bidong's heart was full of emotion.
How precious an attached soul bone was; the Martial Soul Hall didn't have many attached soul bones. Most soul masters had at the most six soul bones, and attached soul bones broke the rules, allowing soul masters to have more positions for additional soul bones.
For soul masters with full soul bones, attached soul bones were an important way to enhance their strength.
And such a precious thing, Xu Ran gave it to her without even blinking an eye.
Only at this moment did she understand why Xu Ran didn't show any interest when she took out those three soul bones. If he could casually give away an attached soul bone, how could any other soul bone catch Xu Ran's eye?
"Yes, it's for you. I'm not a spider Martial Soul; this attached soul bone is of no use to me," Xu Ran said with a smile. Anyway, this thing was pilfered from Tang San's fleece.
Tang San's fleece, easily sheared. Even completely shaved would do.
It's a pity that Tang San doesn't have many treasures left. Tang Sect's Secret Skills, the Eight-Spider Spear, they've all been plundered by him, and now Tang San only has the inheritance of the Rakshasa God.
That thing he could do without, just let Tang San be his Fallen God. Then, to be defeated by the righteous him, that's the correct way to unfold the plot.
So the evil Tang San could be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Soul Land, to be cursed and spat upon for generations, which is the end Tang San deserves. In the future, history books will be written by the victors, and obviously, he, Xu Ran, will be that victor.
"Xu Ran, thank you. I..."
Bi Bidong said earnestly, her gaze somewhat evasive.
She didn't want to be too intimate with Xu Ran, nor did she want to get too close to him, to avoid misunderstanding from Xue'er.
However, this attached soul bone was too precious. If she could obtain this soul bone, her strength would grow rapidly. She found it hard to refuse.
"Don't worry, I won't blackmail you with this. There are no strings attached to the gift, just absorb it with peace of mind," Xu Ran said gently.
"Mm," Bi Bidong murmured softly, nodding her head with slight redness in her eyes.
She didn't know what to say to Xu Ran. If Xu Ran took the opportunity to say some shameless words or put forward some embarrassing requests, she might have felt better.
But Xu Ran simply gave it to her and stood quietly on the side, not currying favor with anything.
This made her feel even worse.
She didn't know if it was gratitude or something else, but anyway, her heart was in turmoil.
Bi Bidong had never owed anyone anything, but now she owed Xu Ran.
It seemed that since meeting Xu Ran, he had given her a lot of help and promised her many things, but he had never asked her for anything in return. He just stood there silently, extending a helping hand whenever she needed it.
"Xu Ran, thank you. If you have any needs in the future, just say the word. Except for that kind of thing, I will agree to anything," Bi Bidong said as she took the attached soul bone from Xu Ran's hand, feeling the vitality of the soul bone in her hand and couldn't help but speak.
Looking at Xu Ran's handsome face, her expression dimmed.
It was a pity that it was all too late.
If she had met someone like Xu Ran in her youth, perhaps she would have been moved. Then, everything would have been completely different.
But now, how could she possibly be together with Xu Ran?
Having said that, Bi Bidong sat down on the spot and began to absorb the soul bone. Once she had decided, Bi Bidong would not hesitate anymore. She would owe Xu Ran for the rest of her life, so what did it matter if she owed him one more thing?
And having someone in this world she could trust felt really good. She wanted to hold on to that feeling and did not want to lose Xu Ran. They might not be able to be together, but they could still be very good friends.
Bi Bidong released her second Martial Soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, and began devouring the power of the Eight-Spider Spear. On her back, the purple radiance surged as the energy of the Eight-Spider Spear was clearly absorbed into that purple energy.
In fact, Bi Bidong also had her own attached soul bone, the Six-Winged Purple Radiance Wings. She did not use the common method of absorbing soul bones to take in the Eight-Spider Spear but utilized the devouring ability of the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul to consume the Eight-Spider Spear's energy, thereby merging the two soul bones into a stronger attached soul bone.
Bi Bidong's complexion glowed with health, and as the energy of the soul bone entered her body, her cheeks flushed pink.
The peaceful Bi Bidong absorbing the soul bone sat very quietly, her supremely beautiful face devoid of any stern coldness, instead radiating a gentle serenity. Bi Bidong was a gentle and intelligent woman by nature, but many tragic experiences had caused her to close the window in her heart. Without truly trusting someone, she wouldn't easily open that window to others. But now, with Xu Ran, she was slowly opening up that window, beginning to show her true beauty.
Without any reservations, Xu Ran observed Bi Bidong's whole body seriously, feeling deeply moved.
Bi Bidong's figure was even more perfect than Liu Erlong's, voluptuous and with a slender waist, even as she sat on the ground, revealing her perfect pear-shaped body.
No matter when, Bi Bidong always exuded such nobility.
"I don't know when I'll be able to eat," Xu Ran smacked his lips, staring at Bi Bidong's captivating beauty, his heart skipping a beat. He craved Bi Bidong's body, and he had always been very honest about it.
All kinds of love start from craving.
If one doesn't even crave, how deep can the love be?
"Later, I still have to meet that blockhead Brock. I don't know what expression Brock will have when he sees me," Xu Ran chuckled lightly. Naturally, he also wanted to have Bi Bidong. When the time came, the sight of Brock's frustrated expression would be absolutely delightful.
