Star Dou Great Forest, mixed zone.
Time slowly passed.
Zhang Lexuan remained cross-legged, still absorbing the spirit ring’s energy.
Although the 100,000-year whale glue helped, her physical quality was barely enough to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring without being burst by the immense energy.
But she was still absorbing it with great difficulty, her brows tightly furrowed, her face full of pain.
Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan ultimately succeeded in absorbing it.
Watching Zhang Lexuan, whose spirit power had greatly increased and who had successfully absorbed the 100,000-year spirit ring, Ji Lin, who had been guarding her for half a day, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After absorbing the spirit ring and officially breaking through to level 83 to become a Spirit Douluo, Zhang Lexuan opened her eyes and saw the concern in Ji Lin’s eyes as he guarded her not far away.
Her heart warmed, and her gaze towards Ji Lin became even more gentle.
Feeling Zhang Lexuan’s gaze, Ji Lin quickly asked, “Sister Lexuan, how are you?
Are you alright?” “I feel very good.
Although the process was painful, I ultimately succeeded.
As expected of a 100,000-year spirit ring, it provided me with two Spirit Abilities and increased my spirit power by two levels.” One must know that the higher a Spirit Master’s rank, the harder it is to level up.
At the Spirit Douluo rank, every level up is measured in years.
Zhang Lexuan was able to gain two levels entirely due to the immense energy of the 100,000-year spirit ring.
Zhang Lexuan stood up and stretched her body, which had stiffened from sitting for half a day.
Ji Lin stepped forward, took out a dagger from his spirit tool, and began to dissect the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor’s corpse.
The 100,000-year Spirit Beast meat could not be wasted.
This was high-end food, something even the Star Luo Empire imperial family generally couldn’t eat.
He had to take it back for his Sister Jiujiu to try.
“Sister Lexuan, you should take some back too.
This is 100,000-year dragon meat; you usually can’t get it.” Ji Lin worked while calling Zhang Lexuan to help.
The Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor’s body was enormous, enough for him to eat for quite a long time.
Zhang Lexuan smiled and shook her head, then stepped forward to take out tools and help.
Suddenly, Ji Lin took out a silver-glowing Spirit Bone from the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor’s corpse.
After looking at it, he handed it to Zhang Lexuan, who was beside him.
“I almost forgot, a 100,000-year Spirit Beast must produce a 100,000-year Spirit Bone.
Sister Lexuan, take this Spirit Bone.
A spirit ring and Spirit Bone from the same Spirit Beast have the best effect when absorbed by the same person.” Zhang Lexuan shook her head and refused, saying, “If it weren’t for you, I would have died in the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor’s mouth, and you even let me absorb its spirit ring.
I already don’t know how to repay you.
How can I possibly accept this 100,000-year Spirit Bone?
It would be better for Red Kite and you to take this Spirit Bone.” Red Kite, who was leaning against a tree with her arms crossed, shook her head faintly and said, “I don’t need it.
The attribute doesn’t match, and I already have a Spirit Bone.” Ji Lin also quickly said, “This Spirit Bone’s attribute doesn’t match mine either.
The most suitable person is you, Sister Lexuan, who has the same attribute as it.
Moreover, this is a torso bone, and I already have a better torso bone waiting for me to absorb.” Seeing that neither Ji Lin nor Red Kite needed this Spirit Bone, Zhang Lexuan was surprised but still shook her head and refused.
“I’ve already gained enough benefits this time.
Even if you don’t need it, there are always people around you who do.
At worst, it can be exchanged for other rare treasures.
There will always be a time when it’s useful.” Seeing Zhang Lexuan so stubborn, Ji Lin’s eyes darted, and an idea formed in his mind.
“How about this, Sister Lexuan, you accept this Spirit Bone.
Counting the previous 100,000-year whale glue and the 100,000-year spirit ring, consider it my betrothal gift.
When I come of age, will you marry me?” Ji Lin’s words directly flustered Zhang Lexuan.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat flustered, “What are you talking about, Little Lin!
You’re still young, and I’m more than ten years older than you!
We’re not suitable.” Ji Lin became serious at this point.
He stared into Zhang Lexuan’s eyes and said, word by word, “Sister Lexuan, I’m serious.
I will take responsibility.” Zhang Lexuan’s whole body stiffened.
She knew what Ji Lin meant: he would take responsibility for what happened in the cave earlier.
Thinking of this, her heart warmed, and she was very moved, but she was still a bit conflicted.
“But you’re still too young, and our age gap is too big.” Zhang Lexuan’s tone was a bit low.
Ji Lin smiled nonchalantly.
“Sister Lexuan, both of us are destined to be Titled Douluo in the future, with lifespans of several hundred years.
A hundred years from now, we’ll both be over a hundred years old; there will be no so-called age gap.” Seeing Ji Lin’s sincerity and seriousness, Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then smiled, “Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll accept your betrothal gift for now.
If you regret it later, I won’t return it to you!” What happened in the cave before had made her realize many things.
Hero saving the beauty, though cliché, was very effective.
Plus, she and Ji Lin had an intimate relationship due to a twist of fate, so she accepted Ji Lin’s betrothal gift.
Watching Zhang Lexuan take the Spirit Bone from his hand, Ji Lin was so happy he almost jumped.
He knew Zhang Lexuan had accepted him.
As soon as he came of age, he could immediately marry a goddess-level wife.
As for Xu Jiujiu, Ji Lin could only figure out how to appease her later.
He was confident.
Despite the Douluo Continent being called the ‘Love Continent’ in his previous life, it was not actually a monogamous society.
White Tiger Duke Dai Hao had more than one wife; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli.
Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei certainly had more than one wife.
Just thinking about it, the Douluo Continent’s Spirit is passed down through bloodlines.
For a powerful Spirit to be passed down, it needs to spread its branches and leaves.
One wife is simply not enough.
Xu Jiujiu, being from the imperial family, understood this better than Ji Lin, so there was no need to worry.
Afterward, he just needed to work on Zhang Lexuan; she was much harder to deal with than Xu Jiujiu.
Moreover, Ji Lin’s ambition was not just this.
What was marrying a few beautiful wives?
He also wanted to become a God, take his wives with him to become Gods, and live forever together.
So Ji Lin had sent people to monitor the White Tiger Dukes Mansion early on.
As soon as Huo Yuhao escaped the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, it would be time for him to act.
He wanted to see if he could intercept Tianmeng Iceworm.
To become a God, before the treasure chest system opened up any useful treasures, Tianmeng Iceworm was the most likely helper to assist him in becoming a God.
Whether inheriting a God Position or creating his own, Tianmeng Iceworm’s million-year spirit ring and its origin were indispensable.
The biggest variable was that he didn’t have a mental-type Spirit.
Although his mental force was strong, far surpassing ordinary Spirit Masters, and not inferior to mental-type Spirit Masters, because he wasn’t mental-type, Tianmeng Iceworm might not choose him as its host.
As for killing Huo Yuhao in advance to eliminate a competitor, Ji Lin was not so despicable.
He had no grudges with Huo Yuhao.
He had no psychological burden about snatching Huo Yuhao’s future opportunity, because if Huo Yuhao hadn’t gotten it yet, it wasn’t his.
It was ownerless, so snatching it wasn’t really snatching.
So he wouldn’t kill Huo Yuhao; he would just get ahead of Huo Yuhao and see if he could intercept Tianmeng Iceworm.
If he could, of course, that would be great.
If not, he wouldn’t force it.
He believed that even without Tianmeng Iceworm, he could still become a God with the treasure chest system.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
