Chapter 87: Distributing Soul Bones
After the morning court session ended, Davis left Yang Wudi behind for a private conversation.
"Your Highness, I wonder what you wish to discuss."
"Of course I have something—and it's good news for you, Senior." Davis raised his lips in a smile, then solemnly took out the 20,000-year-old Scale Armor Defense Right Arm Bone and handed it to Yang Wudi.
"This is a soul bone from a 20,000-year-old Scale Armor Beast, specializing in defense. Senior, you made a great sacrifice for the Star Luo Empire, and as compensation, I present this soul bone to you."
Yang Wudi was a pure attack-type Spirit Master, with weak defense. He often relied on a reckless fighting style, exchanging injuries for damage. This soul bone would undoubtedly improve his survivability.
Hearing this, Yang Wudi was deeply flattered and quickly said, "What? Your Highness, this is far too generous, I cannot accept this..."
"Dear Elder Yang, you've refined countless elixirs for the empire. You deserve to be rewarded. Please don't refuse. Just accept it."
Davis chuckled. "As a minister of the Star Luo Empire, do you really want to defy an imperial order from my father?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Highness!" Yang Wudi accepted the soul bone with trembling hands, deeply moved. He had never expected Davis would grant him a soul bone so generously. At that moment, he felt even more loyal to the empire.
He held the soul bone as though it were a priceless treasure, caressing it with great care. His heart surged with happiness. If being assassinated once earned him a soul bone, he almost wished he could be assassinated every day.
"Senior, don't just stare at it—hurry and absorb it. I want to see what skill it comes with."
"Yes, sir!"
Although he had planned to return to his manor to absorb it, how could he refuse Davis's request? As an experienced veteran, he had seen many others absorb soul bones and was very familiar with the process. In less than two hours, the fusion was complete.
As a sound of bone-scraping echoed, Yang Wudi's body suddenly became covered in hard black scales, forming an indestructible armor.
"Scale Armor Defense—is this the skill of this soul bone?"
"Yes, just as His Highness guessed, this is the soul bone skill." Yang Wudi laughed with delight. "After activating the skill, my speed decreases by 10%, but my defense is greatly enhanced. This armor provides excellent protection."
Yang Wudi laughed heartily. With this soul bone, he no longer had to fear injury during battle. Even against powerful enemies, he now had a reliable layer of defense.
"Congratulations, Senior," Davis said with a smile. Then, he returned to the Prince's Mansion.
At the moment, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Anna were cultivating inside. Bai Chenxiang, after the Min Clan moved into Star Luo City, had returned to live with her grandfather.
As soon as she heard Davis's footsteps, Zhu Zhuyun opened her eyes first. Seeing the joyful expression on his face, she instantly sensed that something good had happened.
"What is it, Weiss? Why are you so happy?"
"Hehe, of course something good happened—for all of you. Look—what's this?"
Davis took out the remaining three soul bones and handed them to the three girls. The moment they saw them, their eyes lit up in surprise.
"Soul bones?!"
"Yes, and they're all ten-thousand-year soul bones!" Davis then began distributing them, starting with his first wife, Zhu Zhuyun.
"Zhuyun, this is a 20,000-year-old Netherworld Wisdom Skull. It should help enhance your spiritual power."
Zhu Zhuyun accepted the soul bone without hesitation and smiled sweetly. "Hehe, thank you, Weiss! You're so good to me!"
Then she gave Davis a big hug and planted a kiss on his cheek, leaving a small strawberry mark.
Davis smiled and gently tapped her nose. "Then since your husband is so good to you, how are you planning to reward him?"
"Um..." Zhu Zhuyun blushed, lowered her head, and replied shyly, "Tonight, I'll let you do... whatever you want!"

"Oh? Really? Anything I want?"
Seeing Davis's mischievous grin, Zhu Zhuyun realized he was thinking something naughty, but still nodded with a red face.
"Hehe, since you said that, then I won't be polite to your two clones. Three wives... just the thought of it makes me excited!"
"Oh, you're so naughty! Where did you learn such things?"
"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run, haven't I?" Davis laughed. After all, in his previous life, he had watched countless films and read all the famous works.
"Alright, Zhuyun—go absorb the soul bone now, okay?"
"Okay!"
Next, Davis took out the Swift Wind Chaser Left Leg Bone and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, this one's for you. It's a 30,000-year-old soul bone. Though it's a limb bone, it's older than your sister's head bone and equally valuable."
Zhu Zhuqing accepted the soul bone, blushing deeply. Then, she mustered her courage and gave Davis a kiss on the lips.
"Husband... I love you. Thank you!"
Hearing the goddess from his previous life call him husband, Davis couldn't help but smile warmly. His heart was filled with satisfaction—this life had truly been worth it.
He gently rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head and said, "Alright, Zhuqing, go absorb the soul bone."
"Okay."
As she walked away with the soul bone, her heart was pounding. No one knew how much courage it took her to do that.
Clutching the soul bone, Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself: I want to grow up faster... so I can marry Brother Weiss.
With that thought, she began absorbing the soul bone.
Finally, Davis took out the Giant Tree Demon Trunk Bone and handed it to Anna.
"Nana, this is the trunk bone of a 20,000-year-old Giant Tree Demon. As a plant-type soul bone, it suits you well. Hurry and absorb it."
"Okay. Thank you, Brother." Anna didn't kiss him, but gave Davis a gentle hug, then began absorbing the soul bone, while Davis stayed nearby to protect them.
Two hours later, Zhu Zhuyun was the first to awaken. After absorbing the 20,000-year-old skull, her soul power actually surged to level 54. Her enchanting pink eyes turned as red as blood gemstones.
An invisible aura instantly spread across the entire Prince's Mansion. Zhu Zhuyun's momentum soared!
"Is this... a domain?" Davis exclaimed. But could a 20,000-year-old soul bone really grant a domain-type ability?
Just then, he accidentally locked eyes with Zhu Zhuyun—and in an instant, Davis felt like he had fallen into an icy abyss. The cold seeped into his very bones.
It was as if he had entered a world of eternal darkness, filled only with cold, loneliness, and dread...
Fortunately, Davis retained a trace of rationality. He immediately summoned his Martial Spirit.
"Holy White Tiger!"
With his Martial Spirit possessing him, Davis regained a sense of security.
"Zhuyun, is this your soul bone skill? Does it induce fear?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded and explained,
"Yes, my skill is called Netherworld Space. It's similar to a domain, but it lacks a domain's growth feature.
In this Netherworld Space, all of my attributes increase by 20%. Enemies inside it experience the abyss of the underworld—endless fear and despair!"
