Bi Bi Dong moved with incredible speed, the howling wind whistling past Ye Tian's ears. Yet despite this, he felt no chill. From beginning to end, she had enveloped him within her soft, warm frame—deforming her figure just enough to protect him without causing suffocation. Her control was impeccable.
The relationship between master and disciple appeared to have been restored, even becoming more intimate than before. However, this was merely Bi Bi Dong's wishful thinking. During this period, Ye Tian had gradually emerged from his state of nervous vigilance. After all, he was about to absorb a Spirit Ring. Although it was only a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and wouldn't pose significant spiritual impact, a Soul Master's mental state undeniably influenced the efficiency of absorbing any Spirit Ring.
Moreover, while immersed in such gentle softness, Ye Tian's ability to retain any sense of crisis was already quite remarkable! After careful consideration, he decided to maintain a lukewarm attitude toward Bi Bi Dong—meaning not taking things too seriously.
Whoosh—! The sound of rushing wind shattered his tangled thoughts. Ye Tian keenly noticed the sudden change in the surrounding gale's velocity. With one abrupt acceleration, they swept past several giant trees, causing his vision to brighten instantly. The dense forest that had been in his peripheral vision vanished, replaced by an almost surreal openness.
"We've arrived," Bi Bi Dong finally spoke after having Ye Tian release his Martial Soul. Throughout the entire journey, she hadn't uttered another word, silently holding him close as they traveled. She seemed determined to let him experience her gentle side, ensuring her disciple remained undisturbed by any turbulence. She knew perfectly well that mending broken trust wasn't impossible—it just required vast amounts of time. The slow and steady approach was the correct answer!
"Arrived?" Ye Tian lifted his head from where it was nestled and looked forward. His eyes shimmered with watery light. "What a beautiful scene," he couldn't help but exclaim.
Before him now stood not layered trees, but a small, vibrantly green lake surrounded by waist-high weeds, resembling a massive mirror lying on the ground. Indeed, the lake's green was an intense, flawless emerald, possessing a mirror-like clarity that reflected the star-studded black canopy above—including the slightly imperfect moon, which naturally made its appearance. The luminous glow permeating the lakeside owed much to this moon in the water!
The fireflies among the lakeside weeds paled in comparison to the moon in the water—mere specks of light. Yet without these surrounding fireflies, the beautiful scene would appear monotonous and lifeless. Ye Tian's gaze shifted from the glowing insects back to the moon in the water. The appreciation in his eyes gradually faded, replaced solely by desire and anticipation!
He knew his second Spirit Ring—that Moonlit Water Fairy—lay directly beneath that moon in the water!
"Quite captivating indeed," Bi Bi Dong nodded slightly from her perch on a tree branch. Holding Ye Tian upright against her chest as if cradling a child, she asked, "Finished admiring?"
"Uh..." Ye Tian's expression shifted slightly. He didn't understand why Bi Bi Dong would ask such a question.
"Could she actually be planning to kill him?
Just chose a scenic spot for it?
That didn't seem necessary.
Ye Tian steadied his mind and nodded calmly.
'I've finished admiring the view.'
'Good! Then I'll begin now.'
Having received his response,
Bi Bi Dong acted immediately, preparing to temporarily set Ye Tian down.
After only a moment's hesitation, Ye Tian had already freed himself from the bundle, crouching low as his feet landed on the tree branch beside Bi Bi Dong.
Seeing Bi Bi Dong about to take action,
Ye Tian suppressed his fear and hurriedly called out, 'Wait, teacher!'
'Hmm?'
Bi Bi Dong lowered her gaze in confusion.
'What is it?'
'Teacher, I want to do this myself.'
After careful consideration, Ye Tian decided to stick to his original plan.
'You want to do it yourself?'
Hearing this, Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but frown.
Was Ye Tian still holding a grudge?
That Moonlit Water Fairy had at least thirty-five hundred years of cultivation
and was a master of both illusion and control techniques.
Not to mention a level twenty Food-type Soul Master, even a Soul Grandmaster specializing in assault-type abilities
wouldn't have absolute confidence in capturing it.
'Yes.'
Ye Tian nodded and continued.
'Teacher, have you forgotten about my Fire Tipped Spear?'
Before the words had fully left his mouth,
Ye Tian had already retrieved the long spear with its two-centimeter caliber from his Soul Guidance Device, holding it tilted in his hand.
With truth in his grasp,
confidence finally returned to Ye Tian's eyes.
'Fire Tipped Spear?'
Bi Bi Dong suddenly understood.
She hadn't even thought of that earlier.
Seeing the confidence in Ye Tian's eyes, a strange light flashed in Bi Bi Dong's gaze.
Nowadays,
the confidence in Ye Tian's eyes no longer felt glaring or annoying to her.
Instead, it filled her with deep appreciation.
That Ye Tian could regain his vitality made her even more delighted.
Of course she wouldn't refuse.
'Alright,'
Bi Bi Dong agreed without hesitation.
'Since you want to try, then go ahead boldly. I'll provide backup for you.'
'Thank you, teacher!'
Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Bi Bi Dong didn't respond, instead turning her gaze to the lake before them.
'Do you need me to force the Spirit Beast out?'
'No need, teacher. It will appear when the moonlight is strongest at midnight.'
Ye Tian shook his head, politely declining.
Since he had decided to do it himself, there was no reason to have Bi Bi Dong help further.
'Fine~ Do as you see fit.'
Bi Bi Dong raised her arms, crossing them in front of her chest, and said nothing more.
Ye Tian had studied his lessons well,
so there was no need for her to be redundant.
After all, with her here, what belonged to Ye Tian would absolutely not be allowed to escape!
Having received permission,
Ye Tian immediately prepared to take action with his spear.
He looked up to request instructions from Bi Bi Dong.
'Teacher, I need to find the right angle in advance...'
'Move as you wish, I can keep up.'
'Understood.'
Ye Tian nodded firmly and immediately began searching for a suitable position.
He needed to ensure the Fire Tipped Spear could maintain maximum power while
also keeping the Spirit Beast within the coverage range of his Palm Thunder.
From then on,
wherever Ye Tian moved, Bi Bi Dong endured and followed along.
Sticking closely to Ye Tian's side.
When Ye Tian lay prone on the horizontal tree branch suspended in the air,
she leaned sideways against the vertical, sturdy tree trunk near Ye Tian's ear.
Her feet crossed in Ye Tian's peripheral vision,
her cold, sharp phoenix eyes looking down at Ye Tian below her...
often carried a somewhat self-pitying quality.
Finally,
Ye Tian determined the position."
On the most luxuriant high branch by the lakeshore,
Ye Tian positioned the Fire Tipped Spear before him,
placed the round, pitch-black Palm Thunder beside him,
with Bi Bi Dong accompanying him nearby.
When the moonlight reached its brightest moment,
a brilliant golden glow seemed to emerge at the center of the moon's reflection on the lake surface.
After the long wait,
the somewhat drowsy Ye Tian immediately perked up with alertness!
