[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: @Daddy Douluo, A-Qing! Where on earth are you? If you’re not dead, say something!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, are you okay? Are you in danger? Please say something!
The sounds of battle over in Nuoding City have already vanished.
However, Xiao Wu was still hiding in the dormitory, not daring to go out.
She stared intently at the Chat Group’s light screen, her small hands clenched until they were white.
At the thought that Lin Qingmo might be in danger, she couldn’t help but worry.
[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, why have you suddenly gone silent? If you are in danger, you may tell me.
Spirit Hall.
The light screen in front of Bibi Dong remained lit.
She hadn’t slept all night.
A trace of imperceptible anxiety flickered in her purple eyes.
She had already investigated Lin Qingmo’s identity through Spirit Hall’s influence.
A Work-Study Student at Nuoding Academy.
Six years old, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, level four Innate Spirit Power.
She had even obtained a portrait of Lin Qingmo.
He was a clever-looking little boy with black hair and black eyes.
If Lin Qingmo continued to delay his response...
She might truly have to personally set off for Nuoding City.
Just as the three of them were about to lose their patience from anxiety...
A message from Lin Qingmo finally popped up in the Chat Group.
[Daddy Douluo]: I’m back! Family, sorry to keep you waiting!
Seeing this line of text...
Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and Bibi Dong all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Their hanging hearts finally settled.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: You brat, you’re finally back!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: What on earth happened last night? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Do you have any idea how worried we were all night?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, it’s so good that you’re okay!
[The Pope Herself]: It’s good that you’re safe.
[The Pope Herself]: Tell us, what exactly happened last night?
Bibi Dong’s tone was as calm as ever.
But anyone familiar with her could hear the relief within it.
A smug smile appeared on Lin Qingmo’s face.
He found a rock and sat down.
He began to recount his fortuitous encounter from the previous night.
[Daddy Douluo]: Hehe, you might not believe it when I say it!
[Daddy Douluo]: Last night I was at the bottom of the waterfall, worrying about how to get up, when Ah Yin suddenly stepped in to help me!
...A series of messages popped up.
All of them were about his experiences last night.
He told them everything, from Ah Yin’s help to the gift of the bone and the changes after the Spirit BoneFusion.
The Chat Group fell into silence.
Liu Erlong stared wide-eyed, reading the text on the screen over and over again.
She wondered if she was still dreaming.
"Voluntarily giving him a hundred thousand year spirit bone, how is that possible?"
Liu Erlong still found it hard to believe.
"A hundred thousand year spirit bone!"
"That’s a supreme treasure that every Spirit Master dreams of. Why would that Ah Yin give it to a little guy like A-Qing?"
"Shouldn’t she have saved it for her son, Tang San?"
Xiao Wu was also stunned.
This was simply too incredible!
Bibi Dong’s pupils constricted slightly, and waves of shock surged in her heart.
She never expected things to develop this way.
Not only was Ah Yin not hostile toward Lin Qingmo...
...But she even took the initiative to give him the Spirit Bone. "What exactly is the hidden story here?"
After a good while.
Liu Erlong was the first to react and post in the group.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A-Qing, you’re not lying to us, are you?
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Why would Ah Yin help you? And even give you a hundred thousand year spirit bone voluntarily? Did you know each other before?
[Grass Mother]: A-Qing... is a good child... The long-silent Ah Yin suddenly sent a message.
Her tone was gentle.
"?"
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment.
Who exactly was this "Grass Mother"?
They popped up randomly every time.
And they even called A-Qing a good child, sounding just like a mother.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: This brat A-Qing is arrogant and conceited, and he spends all day thinking about having a harem of beauties. He doesn’t look like a good child at all.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: He’s clearly a kid with the potential to be a scumbag!
Liu Erlong complained bluntly.
She really couldn’t understand how anyone could think Lin Qingmo was a good child.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: I think A-Qing is a good person!
Xiao Wu was serious.
He not only knew her secret...
...But he didn’t reject her and even protected her.
If that’s not a good person, what is?
"When A-Qing comes back, I’ll give him all the best carrots... well, maybe just one."
Xiao Wu nodded heavily.
In short, in her heart, Lin Qingmo was a kind and brave person.
Lin Qingmo felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Little Rabbit’s defense of him.
[Daddy Douluo]: Little Rabbit is the one who understands me!
[Daddy Douluo]: I’ve always been a kind, upright, and helpful young lad.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Pfft! You’re so thick-skinned!
Liu Erlong retorted without mercy.
Watching the interaction in the group, Bibi Dong felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation.
She didn’t dwell on why Ah Yin helped Lin Qingmo.
Instead, she was more concerned about Lin Qingmo’s current situation.
[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, where are you now? What do you plan to do next?
[Daddy Douluo]: Currently, I’m preparing to head to the Spirit Hunting Forest.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Eh? You’re not coming back to Nuoding Academy?
[Daddy Douluo]: I have no choice, look at this!
[Daddy Douluo]: "Selfie"!
As Lin Qingmo spoke, he posted a recent photo of himself in the Chat Group.
In the photo, a little boy with blue-silver short hair and blue-silver eyes was grinning at the camera.
His skin was fair.
His features were delicate.
He looked both cute and handsome.
He looked like a completely different person from his previous black-haired, black-eyed self.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Whose little boy is this? He’s quite cute, I want to give him a hug~
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Hmph, not as cute as A-Qing!
[Daddy Douluo]: It’s me! I am A-Qing!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Ah?
[The Pope Herself]: You’re A-Qing?
Bibi Dong looked at the blue-haired boy in the photo, her brow furrowing slightly.
She still held the previous portrait of Lin Qingmo in her hand.
He clearly had black hair and black eyes.
How did he turn into a blue-haired, blue-eyed boy overnight?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: This is A-Qing? How did he become like this?
Xiao Wu was even more shocked.
She had seen Lin Qingmo with her own eyes, and he definitely didn’t look like this!
But... looking closely, the features were a bit similar.
[Daddy Douluo]: Hehe, this is the change after absorbing the 100,000-year blue silver emperor right leg bone.
[Daddy Douluo]: After absorbing the Spirit Bone, my appearance changed to this. My hair and eyes have turned blue, the same color as Blue Silver Grass.
[Grass Mother]: Mm... the same... [Daddy Douluo]: Think about it, if I go back to Nuoding Academy looking like this, it’ll definitely be suspicious.
[Daddy Douluo]: When the teachers ask, it’ll be hard to explain. I can’t exactly say I absorbed a hundred thousand year spirit bone, can I?
That would be a suicidal move.
Lin Qingmo would never do that.
He was now level 10, having reached the standard to absorb his first spirit ring.
So he planned to go to the Spirit Hunting Forest first to hunt a suitable Spirit Beast and absorb his first spirit ring.
Then he would use the excuse that the "spirit ring caused the change in appearance" to return to Nuoding Academy.
At least that would have some semblance of plausibility.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Hmm, that reason is indeed somewhat plausible.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: However, you only have level ten spirit power right now. Can you really go hunt in the Spirit Hunting Forest alone?
Liu Erlong was still a bit worried.
Although the Spirit Hunting Forest was the lowest-tier Spirit Beast hunting ground...
...There were still many hundred-year spirit beasts inside, and a small chance of encountering thousand-year spirit beasts.
Lin Qingmo was just a little Spirit Master who had just reached level ten.
Although he had a hundred thousand year spirit bone, his actual combat experience was practically zero.
Going to the Spirit Hunting Forest would be like being easy prey.
[Daddy Douluo]: This... it should be fine, right?
[Daddy Douluo]: My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has become thick and strong, and it’s especially flexible to control.
[Daddy Douluo]: I can control the Blue Silver Grass to perform Binding and restrain Spirit Beasts, so I should have some combat power, right? Hmm... I should!
Lin Qingmo’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
He was even pumping himself up.
Although he had absorbed a hundred thousand year spirit bone...
...He truly didn’t have any combat experience.
He felt a bit unsure.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: This is way too unreliable!
Liu Erlong felt a headache coming on.
This little guy is too impulsive!
Daring to go to the Spirit Hunting Forest alone without any combat experience...
...He’s simply gambling with his life!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, you have to be careful!
Xiao Wu also said worriedly.
She really didn’t want to see anything happen to Lin Qingmo.
[Daddy Douluo]: I’ll be careful. Besides, I have a flying spirit bone skill; if I can’t win, I can still run...
