Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 24: Gifting a defensive soul guide, Dean Shui's secret

Ji Wuming did not hide anything from Li Xinyue, and told her everything he knew about the soul beast that looked like a phoenix.

"I see. There's another possibility. It's in a place where blue silver grass grows luxuriantly, that Blue Silver Forest."

Dean Shui was very happy to see that the martial soul awakening had found a perfect solution. He looked at Ji Wuming and Shui Bing'er, and then said to Li Xinyue,

"Sister Xian, delivering the message and hunting the soul beast will take time, and Bing'er's cold syndrome could flare up again at any time. Why don't you stay in Hanhai City for the time being?"

Dean Shui was halfway through his words when he immediately pulled Ji Wuming to his side and continued, "We can take you to appreciate the scenery of the sea. After receiving a letter from the clan, we can go back."

"That's exactly what we were thinking. I haven't been to this coastal city for a long time."

Li Xinyue said so, but in her heart she didn't want Shui Bing'er to be overly monitored by the elders of the clan.

Besides, if Bing'er is not in Tianshui College, she may neglect her studies. But after all, he is the director of the External Affairs Department of Tianshui College. Even if it is a temporary position, he has a certain attitude towards the cultivation of ice-attributed martial spirits.

Li Xianyue turned to look at Shui Bing'er and asked, "Bing'er, how about we stay in Hanhai City first?"

"Auntie, I'll listen to you."

Shui Bing'er said happily, to be honest she hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time.

Afterwards, Dean Shui sent someone back to his tribe to deliver a message, and he took the initiative to invite the four people to a banquet to celebrate that Shui Bing'er was about to get rid of the cold.

…………

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, it seemed that with the intentional matchmaking of Dean Shui and Li Xinyue, the relationship between Ji Wuming and Shui Binger began to soar, and the two became good friends who could talk about almost anything.

When Ji Wuming had just finished making the shell of a soul guide, he heard some footsteps wandering around the door, as well as some unclear words.
"Brother Ji, why haven't you come out yet? Didn't you agree to go shopping with me every three days so that we can practice martial arts properly?
"What on earth is he doing in there? If he doesn't come out, then I'll leave."

Shui Bing'er lingered in front of the blacksmith shop, muttering to herself. It had been almost two or three days since she came to Blue Fish Village.

During this period, Ji Wuming went straight into the blacksmith shop. Apart from daily meals and checking on her every once in a while, he rarely came out. He was far less enthusiastic towards her than before.

Was it that the feelings between them had faded, or was it that Ji Wuming was tired of her because she had no charm?

She looked inside through the crack in the door, and suddenly the door opened from the inside. She lost her balance and fell on Ji Wuming. At this moment, both of their hearts were beating very fast.

Ji Wuming, who had a strong physique, did not fall to the ground because of the sudden attack. He still stood up and said jokingly,

"Bing'er, you're getting anxious again, aren't you? Hurry up and get up!"

Shui Bing'er blushed, and quickly stood firm, her eyes evasive as she said, "I'm just worried about you. If anything happens to you, I'll be there in the future..."

Shui Bing'er stopped talking midway, her face turning even redder.

"What's wrong with the future?"

Ji Wuming pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously. "This, this, I'm ignoring you!"

Shui Bing'er turned her back to Ji Wuming. At this moment, she didn't know what to say and her face became even redder. She wanted to find a place to crawl into right now.

Ji Wuming was also a little surprised when he saw her behavior. In his impression, Shui Bing'er was an aloof and cold iceberg beauty. How come she looked like this now?

But then he thought, Shui Bing'er is only seven years old now! How cool and aloof can she be?
Ji Wuming immediately put his hand on his shoulder and asked him to turn around and face him.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is a soul guide I recently developed. It has excellent protective properties and can withstand the third soul skill of an ordinary soul master. I'm giving it to you. If you encounter danger, it can provide a certain degree of protection."

Shui Bing'er looked curiously at the defensive soul guide in Ji Wuming's hand and asked, "Is this the soul guide you spent three days tinkering with?"

"Not bad!"

"The first soul skill, freezing!"

Just as the ice beneath Ji Wuming's feet quickly turned to ice all the way up to his upper body, he immediately activated his soul power to activate his defensive soul guide. A blue energy barrier directly enveloped him.

This prevented him from being completely frozen. Ji Wuming said a little displeasedly: "You have no martial ethics. You have forgotten what Aunt Yue said. Don't use your first soul skill casually. If the cold syndrome breaks out again, I can't save you."

"I know, I know, it's so verbose."

Just as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Ji Wuming broke free from the ice, quickly ran to Shui Bing'er, gave her the defensive soul guide, and then walked forward without looking back, pretending to be angry.
"Brother Ji, are you angry?"

"Then Bing'er, before you absorb that phoenix-type spirit ring, don't use your first spirit skill casually. Can you accompany me to go shopping?"

Ji Wuming nodded silently, and Shui Bing'er was very happy to see this, but she was complaining madly in her heart.
"Brother Ji just loves to get angry."

Li Xinyue and Dean Shui, who had been watching this scene from the dark, looked at each other and then followed closely behind them.
"Brother, is it really okay for you to do this?"

For the past three months, Li Xinyue followed Dean Shui's advice and let Ji Wuming and Shui Bing'er interact with each other so that they would develop a good impression of each other. Not to mention letting Ji Wuming join their Shui family, but the Shui family could also indirectly get this kid.

"I have always been very good at judging people. Xiao Ji has a lot of ideas and his actions are quite bold. Even though his innate soul power is at level three, in just four or five years, his soul power has already broken through to the level of a great soul master!"

Dean Shui had already come up with this idea when he wrote the letter before. Just ask yourself, how many soul masters with a thousand-year second ring can there be on the road?

And he will be the first one in history. Even if his talent is insufficient in the future, his overall strength can't be that bad. Bing'er and Xiao Ming are a match made in heaven.

"But Bing'er is most suitable for being a beast spirit master!"

Dean Shui only thought about Li Xinyue's hesitation for a moment before directly rejecting it. Although it is said that pairing two beast spirit masters together is beneficial for their offspring to awaken beast spirits or powerful mutant beast spirits,

But these are not problems. Who can predict what will happen in the future? And there are not many opportunities to recruit Ji Wuming at the moment!
Dean Shui then replied domineeringly, "Sister Xian, if those stubborn elders have any questions, just let them come to me. Do you think I'm afraid of them?"

"That's great! With you, big brother, backing Bing'er up, the elders won't dare act too recklessly. Why don't you come back with us tomorrow?"
