Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 172: Have you absorbed this soul bone?
The empty stone chamber fell silent. Ye Lingling looked at Cheng Xiao, who was standing still with the Blue Silver Emperor, with concern. She was worried that Cheng Xiao's actions would bring danger, but she didn't want to wake him up at this time. After all, she didn't know what the consequences would be.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed. The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor that Cheng Xiao touched were gradually turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the figure of a woman gradually emerged on the Blue Silver Emperor.

She looked to be in her thirties, with a blue-gold long skirt covering her entire body. Her luxurious and elegant temperament set off her other-than-this-worldly face. Her azure eyes were flawless like blue crystals. There were golden ribbons curling up around the hem of her skirt, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

Ye Lingling looked at the gentle woman in front of her in surprise. She had never expected that the soul beast of this hundred thousand year old blue silver grass could actually transform into a human form.

However, what surprised Ye Lingling even more was yet to come. She saw that the blue-gold dress on her body quickly turned into a dark blue dress. Wisps of black smoke filled her body. Her azure eyes turned dark purple, and her azure hair turned into a deep black, like a shadow.

"Congratulations on regaining your human form." Shortly after Ah Yin transformed into a shadow soldier, Cheng Xiao stood up from his squatting position. He looked at Ah Yin who looked a little unbelievable and said sincerely.

"This is... your power." Ah Yin found it hard to believe that a young man who was only at the Soul Sect level could actually pull back his dying 100,000-year-old soul beast, and in the same state as it was before it died. What kind of power is this?
He clearly possesses the power of death that terrifies all life, but why? I, who borrowed his power to be reborn, am grateful to him from the bottom of my heart?
"King, should I call you that?" Yin asked after hesitating for a moment.

From the moment she was transformed into a shadow soldier, the word "king" kept appearing in her mind, as if only in this way could she show her loyalty to him.

"Sure." Cheng Xiao waved his hand indifferently and said, "I don't care much about the name. You can call me king or my name."

"Thank you." Yin thanked sincerely.

"Cheng Xiao, are we leaving now?" After listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Lingling felt relieved and asked with some confusion.

"Well, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, let's leave now." Cheng Xiao nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment." Just when Cheng Xiao was about to take Ye Lingling away, Ah Yin suddenly spoke, and then she urged the Blue Silver Emperor, and suddenly, thick grass leaves stretched out towards the stone wall next to them.

The blue silver grass leaf touched a small raised spot on the stone wall and pressed down lightly. There was a creaking sound, and it seemed as if some mechanism in the stone chamber started to move.

"Bang."

A black object fell from the sky and landed silently in front of Cheng Xiao, raising a cloud of dust.

This is a black box, which is long and narrow, about 1.5 meters long and one foot wide, with no lock on it.

"This is..." Cheng Xiao's pupils shrank. He had actually forgotten about the soul bones.

"Your Majesty, let me open it for you." Ah Yin urged the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor Grass to wrap around the black box and then lifted the lid of the black box in front of Cheng Xiao.

After the box was opened, Ye Lingling was shocked. An incomparable breath of life rushed out of it. In the face of this huge breath of life, the two felt that the blood in their bodies was about to boil.

"It's a soul bone!" Looking at the crystal clear, blue-gold right leg bone lying flat in the black box, Ye Lingling was shocked, her heart filled with indescribable shock.

If Ah Yin is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, then this soul bone... is a hundred thousand year old soul bone!
As a hundred thousand year old soul beast, the vitality contained in Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone is extremely powerful. Although it is not an attack type soul bone, as an auxiliary soul bone, it can be said to be of top quality!
The most peculiar thing is that it gives Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling a feeling of life, as if this right leg bone has life.

As the black box was opened, it was in a remote tavern far away in Tiandou City.

Tang Hao, who was drunk, suddenly opened his eyes, and all the decadence in his eyes disappeared. At this moment, if someone was looking at him, they would definitely see the scarlet murderous intent in his eyes.

Tang Hao clearly sensed that the soul mark he had set on the box was broken, and that place had been discovered, along with the soul bone. "Damn it, could it be that the people from the Spirit Hall found Ah Yin? No, I have to go back and see where the soul bone left for Xiao San is." Thinking of this, the terrifying soul power in Tang Hao's body suddenly burst out. He was extremely excited, and the soul power in his body was running, rushing towards the direction of the Holy Soul Village.

…………

"Your Majesty, this is the 100,000-year-old right leg bone I left behind. Please absorb it." Ah Yin gently took out the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and gently placed it in Cheng Xiao's hand.

"Can you absorb this soul bone again?" Without immediately accepting the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, Cheng Xiao raised his head and looked at Ah Yin and said.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Looking at Cheng Xiao in disbelief, Ah Yin shook her head and said softly, "The soul bones produced by soul beasts cannot be absorbed by oneself. This behavior is not allowed."

"I didn't come to you for the soul bone." Cheng Xiao said seriously.

"I know." Ah Yin looked at Cheng Xiao tenderly and said softly, "From your power, I feel more than just death."

"Your Majesty, why don't you give this soul bone to Miss Ye Lingling? Her martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, belongs to the plant category. This soul bone is just right for her. Besides, with me here, she won't feel any pain when she absorbs it."

"No, this is too expensive." As soon as Ah Yin finished speaking, Ye Lingling quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Soul bones are extremely precious to soul masters. If it were any other soul master, seeing this kind of top-grade soul bone, they would probably have been eager to take it for themselves. However, Ye Lingling did not want to do that. This soul bone did not belong to her, and the person who should absorb it should be Cheng Xiao, not herself.

"Take it." Cheng Xiao said with a smile: "Lingling, this soul bone is very good, but it is not suitable for me. Ah Yin is right, the most suitable person for this soul bone is you."

"Okay..." After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingling stretched out her hands to take the soul bone, and nodded gratefully to Cheng Xiao and A Yin.

"Thank you, Cheng Xiao, Sister Yin." After taking the soul bone, Ye Lingling expressed her gratitude.

Then, under A Yin's guidance, she sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and attached the blue-gold soul bone to her right leg.

hum-

A slight buzzing sound sounded quietly, and Ye Lingling only felt her right leg tremble slightly, and then, a cool breath poured into her right leg from all directions.

The blue-gold soul bone attached to her right leg disappeared. It turned into countless blue-gold air currents, diffused around her right leg, cool, comfortable, without any hindrance. It can be said that she absorbed this soul bone very smoothly, and was filled with a comfortable feeling throughout the process.

At this moment, she only felt that her right leg seemed to have stepped into a forest full of blue silver grass. Immersed in this blue energy fluctuation, Ye Lingling's soul power was slightly moving. With every fluctuation, her soul power would increase a lot, and her soul power level soon reached level 40.

Gradually, Ye Lingling felt her whole body become comfortable, and she had lost all perception of the outside world. The blue-gold airflow spreading on her right leg had completely merged into her body.

A few hours later, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes. Her right leg still had a strange cool feeling. Not far from her, Cheng Xiao was sitting on a straw chair woven by the Blue Silver Emperor. Ah Yin was standing respectfully behind her, looking at her king tenderly.

"Awake?" Seeing Ye Lingling open her eyes, Cheng Xiao chuckled and said, "It's getting late. Now that we have absorbed everything, we should go back."

"Yeah." Without any hesitation, Ye Lingling nodded slightly, and then followed Cheng Xiao out of the cave.
