Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 8: Bankruptcy?

"Silly fox!"

Lin Jiuxuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected that this timid and cowardly fox would actually stand up for her.

"Sigh~"

He was preparing to take her inside him.

Unexpectedly.

The fierce, foolish fox had only taken two steps when it tripped over a stone.

"Ouch~ That hurts!"

Lin Jiuxuan sighed, rubbing his forehead. He had really overestimated her.

However, what neither of them noticed was...

That red rope, tossed into the air, seemed like a cruel joke of fate.

It wrapped itself precisely around the pink vines that shot out of the mist.

As the vines fiercely attacked the demonic ape, they became entangled with it.

An indescribable resonance was formed among the three.

After a fierce exchange, the pace of the battle between the two sides surprisingly slowed down.

Then, Lin Jiuxuan and the other person stared in disbelief.

After letting out a low howl, the demonic ape walked straight into the pink mist.

"roar--"

Cries of pain, excitement, and pleasure emanated from the mist.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Only then did Lao Lu emerge from the bushes, covered in mud.

"Do I look like I'm alright?"

"Any later, and we wouldn't even need to collect the body. We can just burn incense when needed, and paper money when not!"

Lin Jiuxuan said irritably.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that beast to have such strength. He slammed half of my body to the bottom of the lake. Luckily, my martial soul is a green turtle, which is good at holding my breath."

"Hey, where's that beast?"

After recounting his adventures at length, Lao Lu finally remembered the culprit.

"Look for yourself!"

Lin Jiuxuan leaned against a large rock, pointing irritably at the now silent Pink Mist Forest.

"Hiss, something's fishy about this place!"

"Watch me!"

"Second Soul Skill: Turtle Breathing Technique!"

Old Lu frowned, stomped his feet, and four spirit rings appeared beneath his feet. He then assumed a horse stance, pushed his hands forward, and swung his buttocks.

He sucked with his big mouth, which was missing a front tooth.

In an instant, all the air within a radius of several hundred meters was absorbed into its belly.

"Oh no, Grandpa Lu has turned into an old toad!"

Su Su tucked her feet away and looked anxiously at Lao Lu, who was curled up in a ball with a bulging belly.

Upon hearing this, Lao Lu nearly choked on his own breath. He glared at the silly fox and then spat out a column of wind towards the pink mist.

The wind column, like a sword drawn from its sheath, was unstoppable, instantly tearing apart the pink mist to reveal a dense forest of intertwined vines.

In the very center, the demonic ape was clinging to a pink, withered tree, barely clinging to life.

But her eyes were filled with happiness.

"Ghost Crimson Lotus! What's going on?"

Old Lu asked in surprise.

After the dense forest revealed its true form, Lin Jiuxuan recognized the plant-like soul beast.

Ghost Red Lotus, a rare spiritual plant-type soul beast, is related to the Demon Fire Spirit Ape as an upstream and downstream entity in the food chain.

However, the two are also mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

The mist corrodes spiritual power, while the demonic fire can scorch Gui Honglian's soul.

Upon seeing the red ropes wrapped around their bodies, Lin Jiuxuan instantly understood.

What a touching love story that transcends life, death, and race!

Since you two want to be together so badly, then I'll grant your wish!

Lin Jiuxuan struggled to get up.

He drew his greatsword and granted the two beasts their wish.

Looking at the two spirit rings in mid-air, Lin Jiuxuan chose Ghost Red Lotus.

He guessed that the soul skill would still appear on Su Su.

It will most likely be a control skill, which would be beneficial to both of them.

With a thought, Lin Jiuxuan made a move towards the purple soul ring.

It then floated up to the top of his head.

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred, and the demonic ape's soul ring also floated over.

It suddenly dissipated when it was less than a meter away from the Ghost Red Lotus Soul Ring.

A faint trace of a soul could be seen merging into the purple soul ring.

"This is truly the pager of cell phones, the ultimate simp!"

Lin Jiuxuan's eyes were truly opened.

Then, looking at the still pale purple spirit ring, he hesitated again.

"But, can we still keep this spirit ring? Is it contagious?"

Before he could react, the spirit ring shot directly into his body without warning.

"Holy crap, you guys are way too enthusiastic, single guy!"

Old Lu had lived for over a hundred years, and this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

Hesitant about whether to stop it.

Seeing that Lin Jiuxuan was not in as much pain as last time, they stopped.

Look and say.

Su Su stared at it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

He simply found a rock, sat down, took out his treasured lollipop, and started licking it.

She remembered someone saying they were going to confiscate her lollipops.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, she secretly decided to eat a few more.

I thought that for every extra one I ate, I was making a profit.

While eating...

He couldn't help but laugh at his own cleverness.

It seems that reading more books is useful; she feels that her IQ has made a qualitative leap.

The absorption process went exceptionally smoothly, ending in less than half an hour.

"Little fox, what are you grinning about?"

"Quick, see what new soul skills they've acquired!"

Lin Jiuxuan slapped Su Su on the head and said irritably.

He sensed for a long time, but still couldn't detect the existence of any soul skills.

Sure enough, the foolish fox once again snatched the fruits of victory.

"Oh, it seems to be... the Dream Hammer... it can..."

The little fox said hesitantly.

As she spoke, a wooden hammer appeared in her hand. It looked no different from an ordinary wooden hammer, but the hammer was marked with the unique symbol of the Tushan fox demon.

Isn't this a prop from the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker?

Lin Jiuxuan was a little confused. Did this soul skill have anything to do with soul beasts?

Lin Jiuxuan picked up the wooden hammer, and immediately a message entered his mind.

【Dream Hammer】

When using it, simply input soul power to attack the target. Tapping it can randomly infuse a memory or make someone recall memories of their past life.

The effect lasts for 1 hour, with a very low probability of producing a permanent effect.

Oh well, never mind.

Well, we've achieved our goals for this trip, so we can head back home now.

"By the way, Lao Lu, Lao Lu, check if there are any soul bones!"

Lin Jiuxuan only remembered this matter when he was leaving.

"Young Master, soul bones are such rare things, how can they be obtained so easily?"

"What's the use of a thousand or two soul bones?"

Old Lu was very unhappy about this interruption while he was eating sunflower seeds.

They unleashed a barrage of bombs on the remains of the two soul beasts.

"No!" Old Lu said irritably, looking at the shattered remains.

"Alright, let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

"Let's go, you silly fox!"

Lin Jiuxuan rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

"Wow, that rock is so pretty!"

Su Su looked around warily, then quietly picked it up and put it in her pocket.

When they returned to the Marquis's residence, it was already close to evening.

After two tiring days, Lin Jiuxuan quickly washed up and went straight to sleep.

the next day.

I was woken up early in the morning by Lao Lu's sharp arguing.

You wouldn't believe it until you asked; the Lin family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The visitor was Emma, ​​the manager of the Tiandou Auction House. He had come to take delivery of the latest batch of whale glue.

They agreed that the Lin family would take as many as they could get.

I never imagined I'd want it now.

This won't do.

Lin Jiuxuan thought it wasn't a big deal and waved his hand, ready to accept it.

Old Lu retorted directly, "I'm out of money!"

"No money? The prestigious Lin family is broke? Where did the money go?"

Lin Jiuxuan couldn't understand it; he was someone who didn't associate with any of the three things.

Old Lu isn't a big spender, so why is he broke?

"Millennial whale glue costs 3,000 coins per piece, 5,000-year-old whale glue costs 20,000 coins per piece, and 10,000-year-old whale glue costs 70,000 coins per piece. The total cost over five years is 2.5 million gold soul coins!"
