Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Wang Qiu'er shook her head and swallowed the last bite of roasted fish.

"Big Bug, what are you asking so much for? You should just stay here obediently, haha."

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's two bean-like eyes blinked, and it twisted its chubby body.

"My Your Highness Qiu'er, this is a human! Are the customs of my Land of Extreme North different from your Star Dou Great Forest?

Normally speaking, shouldn't he be cut down from his horse and turned into food?"

Wang Qiu'er shot him an irritated glare. "Big Bug, you simply wouldn't understand. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned. Then you should say something! If you don't say anything, how would I understand? Forget it. If you don't want to say it, Brother doesn't want to listen.

For him to be personally brought to this Lake of Life by that existence, he must have a secret. Brother needs to make some preparations and see if I can latch onto this line...

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena, who was sitting beside Lin Feng and Ah Yin, then looked around, somewhat depressed.

The unsociable Ten Thousand Demon King and Chi Wang had long since disappeared. Xiong Jun had been driven away by him. Bi Ji and Zi Ji were quietly recuperating in the distance.

His own Imperial Auspicious Beast was taking a bite of Lin Feng's food, then a bite of silkworm meat, but its gaze would shift towards Lin Feng's direction from time to time.

For a moment, on the shore of this vast Lake of Life, only he was left, a solitary figure.

The Master is such a revered existence. Why would she lower her status to sit on a log as casually as that Lin Feng?

When she usually orders me to do things, where did that transcendent, high-as-the-bright-moon posture go? Even when getting along with us ferocious beasts, she isn't this approachable, right?

Di Tian grumbled silently in his heart but did not dare to ask directly. He knew Gu Yuena's character very well. Although the Master was usually quite tolerant of her subordinates, when it came to her decisions and what she wanted to do, she would not tolerate others' meddling.

Di Tian sighed and once again swept his gaze around. Lin Feng and Ah Yin were talking about something in low voices. Occasionally, he could even see Ah Yin's gentle smile, and she would roll her eyes at Lin Feng from time to time.

And Gu Yuena, although she didn't have much expression, was just slowly and methodically savoring the food in her hand, faintly watching the two people talking close at hand.

But Di Tian could feel that the Master's expression seemed to be much softer than before. A look of contentment would occasionally appear in her eyes. Ever since she had been awakened by the Imperial Auspicious Beast's revelation of fate, he had never seen the Master display such relaxation and ease.

As the Silver Dragon King, the second-generation common lord of soul beasts, bearing the future destiny of the soul beast clan on her shoulders, he had never seen her with this kind of expression.

Thinking and thinking, Di Tian's gaze towards Lin Feng became somewhat unfriendly. This boy, when he was summoned by the Master before, when the two were alone, what did they talk about? Did he feed the Master a bewitching soup?

The majestic Master, and the peaceful Gu Yuena at this moment, which one is real? I can't tell, I really can't tell!~

Ah Yin calmed her mood. Clearly, during the day, she had still been in Spirit City with Lin Feng. Now, she was already at the Lake of Life, with that common lord of soul beasts quietly staying by her side.

The sense of disparity this brought was indeed a bit large. Fortunately, with Xiao Feng by her side, seeing him act as if nothing had happened, she was not so agitated.

Although it seemed she had proactively followed him...

"Xiao Feng, are you going to stay here for a long time?"

Gu Yuena glanced at Ah Yin. "That depends on his own situation. Without two and a half years, I will not let him go. Also," Gu Yuena looked at Ah Yin with some amusement, "you seem to care about him a lot? Along the way, I have heard too many pleasantries. Are you two really just friends?"

Ah Yin looked at Lin Feng, nodded, and did not speak.

Lin Feng stared for a while at the somewhat silent Ah Yin and said, "Before, in the space of the Lake of Life, we still hadn't discussed the matter of address. What should I call you?

Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, or should I add the suffix of 'Your Excellency' or 'Senior'?"

Gu Yuena shook her head, a strange color flashing in her eyes. "This kind of address has no real meaning for us. A name is just to better represent an existence. You can be casual."

Casual? Then if I call you Na'er now, will you beat me to death?

After some deliberation, Lin Feng nodded. "Then I will call you Gu Yuena in the future. You can call me Xiao Feng."

"The same as this Blue Silver Emperor? You seem to like it when others call you Xiao Feng. In Spirit City, your other two wives seem to be like this."

Ah Yin's expression constantly changed. Her earlobes gradually turned red. Understanding the hidden implication in Gu Yuena's words, she glanced at Lin Feng beside her with some resentment. Clearly, in this past year, getting along with him on a daily basis has already pulled the two of them closer. She has already made a clean break with Tang San and Tang Hao. One is a devil from beyond the heavens, the other a fellow who betrayed her to plot for her soul ring and soul bone.

This newborn body is flawless. If Xiao Feng really has me in his heart, when will he truly state his feelings?

Do I have to be the one to speak up? In the human world, it is a common thing for a man of status to have multiple wives. Even the current Xiao Feng already has two... oh no, three. The only two things to worry about are whether he will mind my past, and the opinions of the few in Spirit City.

Getting along with Xue'er and Ling Yuan is still harmonious, but for best friends to suddenly become sisters in marriage is probably very difficult to accept for a time, right?

As for that Pontiff... Ah Yin's heart skipped a beat. Speaking of which, the reason my thoughts about Xiao Feng gradually budded was because of her? That day in the Pontiff's Hall, she seemed to regard Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan as rivals, while I didn't have the determination to win.

So she began to seek external aid. She could see that Xiao Feng was a little moved by me, so she pushed the boat with the current and gave me a path: to win over Xiao Feng, or be won over by him.

And in the future, I would have the strength to fight against Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan. And although I might be with Xiao Feng, and in the same camp as Bibi Dong, I would obviously be very weak in that camp.

And the days we were together, it was clearly more with Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan. I also really like interacting with them. But now it seems that standing with Bibi Dong is the correct choice?

After all, both of them came later, and my past... wouldn't it be better to have the door opened from Bibi Dong's side?

Ah Yin's thoughts ran wild.

Lin Feng coughed lightly. "As you like. Where will I be staying tonight?"

Gu Yuena casually pointed in a direction. Lin Feng followed her finger and was somewhat surprised. "Isn't this an empty space?"

"Don't you have those Five Elements Soul Veins? This is your first test. Tonight's lodging must be shaped by you personally," the corners of Gu Yuena's mouth hooked up as she looked at him with some amusement.

Good, good, good. You want to play like this, is that it? It's one thing to capture me, but you won't even give me a place to live? I have to do it myself?

What a joke. Don't underestimate the comprehension of the laws brought by my Soul Veins. Do you think the ability to casually generate an iron rod when I was guiding Ning Rongrong came from nowhere?

"Bind... no, Wood Attribute Control," specks of brilliance gathered in Lin Feng's hand. The air was filled with a fresh and vibrant aura.

The brilliance in Lin Feng's hand gradually materialized, forming one after another of slender wooden strips. They wove flexibly in the air, assembling themselves as if they had a life of their own.

After a long while, a small and exquisite wooden house impressively appeared before everyone's eyes. The exterior of the wooden house was covered with green vines and blooming flowers, as if integrated with the surrounding natural environment, emitting a faint light of nature.

"How is it?" Lin Feng smiled smugly, looking at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a trace of approval flashing in her eyes. "Not bad. It seems your comprehension of the laws is already quite deep. This wooden house will be your temporary residence during your time at the Lake of Life."

Ah Yin watched from the side, her eyes also full of amazement. She had never seen such a magical means. With the power of the Soul Veins, one could create such a real and beautiful residence? She couldn't help but look at Lin Feng's abilities with even greater admiration.

Although she could do similar things herself, her martial soul was a Blue Silver Emperor for a day, a Blue Silver Emperor for a lifetime. The wooden house she shaped would also be composed of the Blue Silver Emperor.

She couldn't be like Xiao Feng, with vines, wood, and flower hearts.

Di Tian's gaze changed slightly. In terms of control over the elements, his own master was the one with the most say on this continent. To be able to win the praise of the Master, this human really had something.

"Wow, this human boy is pretty good! Qiu'er, can you let him come down here to Brother? I really miss my partners from the Land of Extreme North. Can you have him help me make an image of them?"

Wang Qiu'er yawned. She patted her beast ears with her front paw. "Big Bug, you should just stay put. Lin Feng is very important to us. Di Tian won't let you easily get close to him. And, the only one you can talk to here should be me, right?"

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "..."

Lin Feng walked into the wooden house he had created with his own hands, feeling the vitality and warmth within. An inexplicable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

In the wooden house, there was only a simple wooden bed. After all, it was a big project. There was no need to shape everything at the beginning. The things that should be in the room could be added later.

"Then where am I supposed to live?" Ah Yin tilted her head and asked with some confusion.

Lin Feng looked around and spread his hands. "How about you make do here for one night? Or use the Blue Silver Emperor to weave a hammock?"

Ah Yin rolled her eyes at Lin Feng, pursed her vermilion lips, and pointed at the bed that was big enough for three people to sleep on. "I'll just sleep here. You be careful at night. Where are the beddings?"

Lin Feng took out a bedsheet and a quilt from his storage belt, laid them out, and placed two pillows.

Ah Yin frowned, a trace of panic in her eyes. "Your soul tool's space is so big, you only put one set of bedding?"

"What else? I didn't expect to come here so suddenly. It's already good that I brought these daily necessities. I don't usually use them."

Ah Yin's cheeks were red. "Then why did you bring two pillows?"

Lin Feng lay on the bed, stretched his back, and let out a long sigh of relief. "One for my head to pillow on, one to hold in my arms. Can't I? This one counts as me lending it to you. As for this quilt, this bed is quite wide. We can just turn the quilt sideways."

Ah Yin carefully pulled open the quilt and lay down beside Lin Feng with some apprehension. To prevent any accidents, she used the Blue Silver Emperor to make a small partition between the two of them. Only then did her heartbeat slow down a little.

And Gu Yuena sat quietly on a log in the distance, her gaze deep as she looked at the starry sky, complex thoughts surging in her heart. Lin Feng's arrival would perhaps bring new hope and change for her and the soul beast clan. What should she do next?

She glanced at Ah Yin and Lin Feng lying together, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then looked at the last piece of roasted fish in her hand, blinked her purple eyes, swallowed it in one bite without chewing, and returned to the space below the Lake of Life.

"What are you doing?" Having closed her eyes for a long time with a complicated mood, but not waiting for Lin Feng to proactively start a conversation, Ah Yin couldn't help but ask.

"Writing a letter."

"Writing a letter?"

Ah Yin opened her eyes and looked to the side. She saw that under the light of a lighting soul tool, Lin Feng was wielding a brush and ink, writing something on a sheet of letter paper.

"Is it for Xue'er and the others?"

"Mmm, Gu Yuena should be able to help me send it. Their moods need to be calmed down quickly, and some Spirit Hall matters also need to be taken care of."

A long time passed.

"Why are you writing a second one?"

Lin Feng grinned and said nothing. This second one was naturally for Bibi Dong. The things he had to say to her could not be easily known by others. The growth process of a time management master...

"Heh~ The Holy Son of Spirit Hall is really so full of sentiment—" Ah Yin turned her back to Lin Feng and said softly, a little sourly.

Lin Feng shrugged. "If you were to leave my side one day, and my person was restricted, I would also write you a letter. What do you think?"

"Who wants you to write a letter..."

The corners of Ah Yin's mouth hooked up, and she closed her eyes again.

The night passed in peace. The next day, Lin Feng was woken up by a cry of surprise. He rubbed his drowsy eyes and looked to the side. "What's wrong?"

Ah Yin's two hands touched both sides of her red-hot cheeks. She snatched the quilt, turned her back to Lin Feng, and buried herself in it.

And having lost the blanket on his body, Lin Feng also saw the strange place and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He coughed lightly. "This is a normal male physiological reaction. Don't make a fuss."

Not disturbing Ah Yin, Lin Feng adjusted his state, walked out of the wooden house, and was once again summoned by Gu Yuena to the space below the Lake of Life.

And this time, what faced Lin Feng was Gu Yuena's human form.

"You've come."

An ethereal voice once again sounded in Lin Feng's ear. It's unknown if it was his imagination, but why did Gu Yuena's earlobes seem a little red?

"I've come."

"Sit down. I will check the situation inside your body. Guard your dantian, concentrate your mind."

Gu Yuena's divine power roamed within Lin Feng's body, gradually heading towards the Five Elements Soul Veins. As time went on, Gu Yuena's willow-leaf brows slightly furrowed.

Her vermilion lips parted. "My feeling was indeed not wrong. A very strange newborn power. If I had to describe it, it's like a gaseous state of energy. It doesn't have the unique characteristics of the other elements and appears neutral.

But I can feel that the power it contains is very strong, far surpassing soul power."

A sharp light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. Although it was just newborn, under her perception, the thought that this power could surpass divine power actually arose in her heart.

She was truly somewhat shocked. In the Douluo world, when one becomes a god, there will be a whole-body transformation. Converting soul power into divine power is a key step.

From a certain perspective, the essence of divine power is still soul power, just more advanced.

But now... this power in Lin Feng's Soul Veins seemed to have something incredible...

Rip— Gu Yuena directly tore Lin Feng's upper body clothes to shreds and casually tossed them aside.

"I quite liked that piece of clothing..."

"Shut up!" Gu Yuena shouted lightly. She came before the cross-legged Lin Feng, her beautiful face only a very close away. Her fair hand pressed on Lin Feng's dantian, and a faint silver divine power, under Gu Yuena's mobilization, gradually came to the surroundings of the Soul Veins.

"Guide—"

Gu Yuena raised her jade-like hand. Wrapped in the silver divine power was a wisp of golden, gaseous energy substance. At present, there was still very little in Lin Feng's body, but some could be taken out.

Gu Yuena drew out a trace and directly threw it at a newly formed ice crystal. With a rumble, the ice crystal instantly shattered.

Even so, the golden energy still faintly adhered to the ice crystal, not dissipating instantly like soul power.

With a thought from Lin Feng, he guided the golden energy on the ice crystal to his index finger. His expression was unknown. Suddenly, he cut his own palm and then had the golden energy attach to it.

Visibly, the speed at which the fresh blood flowed slowed, and the wound healed.

Gu Yuena nodded. "A very powerful kind of power, and it also has the possibility of infinite changes. It's just that you still can't mobilize it yourself now. Give it a name?"

"Let's just call it—'Qi'."
