Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Seeing Ah Yin move slightly, Lin Feng closed his eyes again.

"Mmm?" Ah Yin opened her drowsy eyes. When she saw the current situation clearly, a blush quickly climbed up her ears. She spoke in a stammer, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz:

"I... how could I?" Ah Yin's eyes were filled with confusion. She wanted to get up but ended up lightly pressing against Lin Feng's chest. The touch made the atmosphere between the two even more subtle.

Ah Yin greedily breathed in Lin Feng's scent. In her eyes at this moment, Lin Feng was like the warm sun in spring, warm and tranquil, giving people a sense of peace.

The comprehension of the world's laws was a subtle and imperceptible process, but this attraction and the thought of wanting to get closer could be clearly perceived.

Her heart was accelerating. Her slightly red cheeks added a touch of shyness and charm.

She looked up and carefully at Lin Feng, her eyes like spring water. She carefully moved herself up a little, for fear of waking him.

Then, her gaze finally rested on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. The two red lips seemed to hold an endless temptation, making Ah Yin unable to help but want to get closer.

An unprecedented impulse surged in her heart, wanting to touch those soft and warm lips, as if with just a light kiss, she could melt away all the barriers and hesitation between the two of them.

For some reason, Xiao Feng seems even more fragrant... Ah Yin's throat moved a little. "I've already had a light taste before... going a little deeper shouldn't be anything... it's already..."

She murmured without a sound, as if she were justifying it to herself, and as if she were trying to gather courage through continuous psychological suggestion. Finally, she bent down and firmly pressed down.

At the same time, she quickly broke through the city gate, plundered wantonly in the city, and swept away a large amount of supplies.

!!!

Ah Yin's movement paused, a look of panic in her eyes. She saw Lin Feng's eyelids move. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at her with amusement. Ah Yin wanted to withdraw, but her path of retreat was blocked by the city guards, who searched her body.

"Mmm—"

After confirming that this thief who had snuck in while the master was sound asleep had not taken away any precious treasures, the master magnanimously let her retreat and even gave her a gift.

Gulp—

"Hah~~" Ah Yin's cherry lips finally escaped. Her breathing was slightly rapid. Her fair hand patted Lin Feng's chest lightly, looking at him with grievance. "You were pretending to be asleep."

Lin Feng smiled, pulling Ah Yin's graceful, blue-gold-dressed body into his arms, not giving her a chance to escape. "It seems someone sneak-attacked me. Does this count as a just counter-attack?"

Ah Yin's cheeks were slightly red. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Clearly, she could endure it before. Why today... And when she woke up in the morning, why was she lying on him? She clearly didn't move around in her sleep.

Thinking of this, Ah Yin was annoyed for a while. Ah Yin, oh Ah Yin, how could you be so depraved? Before, it was just a touch and go. Now you've already exchanged fragrant saliva. If...

Suddenly, Ah Yin began to tremble and speak, "You, you let go... your... over there..." The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. A young man is in his hot-blooded prime. Xiao Feng also has a life of its own.

Lin Feng released Ah Yin. The latter frantically snatched the bedding, covering the beautiful scenery that was slightly exposed, leaving only a pair of slender jade legs shining outside. Ah Yin carefully poked her head out. She asked with some hesitation, "You seem to be like this every morning. Do... do you need my help?"

The moment her voice fell, Ah Yin regretted it. What on earth did I just say! She quickly buried her blood-red face in the bedding and dared not say another word.

"...That won't be necessary. I'm going to take a bath. What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

"Kun-egg and silkworm meat congee."

———

"Do you believe me now?" Gu Yuena looked at Lin Feng teasingly, her tone sounding somewhat subtle as she looked at his lips.

Lin Feng sighed. "I believe you. Can't you just extend the time you cover my aura?"

Gu Yuena moved closer to him and smiled brightly. "Oh? When a patient's condition does not improve and shows a tendency to worsen, what is the first thing you think of?"

"Increase the dosage?"

"Correct."

Her fair hand was instantly placed on both sides of Lin Feng's cheeks. She slowly moved his head down, her movements extremely slow. Lin Feng's gaze uncontrollably fell on Gu Yuena's crystal-moist vermilion lips. The slightly parted lips seemed to be emitting a silent sound of bewitchment, stirring his desire.

"What are you still waiting for?"

The next instant, it was actually Lin Feng who took the initiative to capture Gu Yuena's cherry lips, greedily demanding. Gu Yuena's fair hand took the opportunity to hook around Lin Feng's neck, the corners of her lips lifting, a trace of cunning seeming to flash in the depths of her eyes. A long time passed before the two reluctantly parted.

Gu Yuena stood on her tiptoes and licked away the remaining crystal dew from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Her magnificent purple eyes seemed to be flowing with an unknown brilliance. The breath from her lips by Lin Feng's ear was like an orchid.

Her ethereal voice at this moment transformed into a demonic sound that tempted one's heart. "Lin Feng, you are mine now. Now, say it. You are mine."

Lin Feng's throat rolled fiercely. The consciousness that had just returned to clarity seemed to have had a string snap. He said involuntarily, "I am yours."

Very good~

The corners of Gu Yuena's mouth lifted slightly. She let Lin Feng's warm breath hit her fair neck. She took a step back, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction and gentleness.

She said softly, "Remember your words, Lin Feng. Our road is still very long, but I will walk with you. The future you speak of, I will help you shape it."

Lin Feng looked deeply at Gu Yuena, his heart filled with complicated emotions. He felt an inexplicable sense of peace, as if as long as Gu Yuena was around, everything could become possible; at the same time, he was somewhat panicked. He knew that he had already fallen deeply into this woman's control, unable to extricate himself.

"I know," he said softly, his tone full of determination and promise. "I will remember my words, and I will also walk with you, to shape our future together."

Gu Yuena nodded with satisfaction. Her fingers gently slid across Lin Feng's cheek, as if looking at a newly acquired rare treasure, the satisfaction and possessiveness in her eyes unconcealed.

She said softly, "As my possession, I allow you to have your own will. Whatever you want, I can get for you. The word 'sharing' does not have so many obstacles here with me. After all, if a treasure is hidden away and no one can appreciate it, it would be too much of a pity."

Her tone changed, becoming plain and filled with an unquestionable air as she continued, "But you must remember one thing from beginning to end: you are my thing. No one can take you away. Only with my tacit permission can there be sharing; no one else has the right to snatch you away."

Lin Feng was speechless. He saw the expectation and sincerity in her eyes. He knew that he could no longer resist this woman. Whether it was her beauty, her wisdom, or her expectation for the future, they all deeply fascinated him.

"Isn't that a little too domineering?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, trying to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed. "You are so beautiful and powerful. Of course, I am willing to be 'occupied' by you. It's just that sometimes I will also have my own thoughts and choices. I hope you can understand."

Hearing this, a playful look flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes. She slowly approached Lin Feng until they were almost face to face. "Your thoughts and choices, of course I will respect them. But you must know, in this world, there is no love without reason, nor is there hatred without reason."

"I don't mind those female confidantes of yours, but that doesn't mean I will allow them to easily snatch you away from me."

She paused for a moment and continued, "As for being domineering... perhaps. But you must know, in this world, only the strong can make the rules. And I just happen to have this strength."

Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh. "I understand." Heaven and a shura field. I have no right to choose. In that case, it's better to accept it.

Gu Yuena nodded. For the first time, she took Lin Feng's hand and led him to an open space, signaling for him to sit on a prayer mat.

After Lin Feng sat down cross-legged, Gu Yuena took off the Life Gold ring from her left ring finger. Under the shroud of silver divine power, a tennis-ball-sized piece of Life Gold began to be separated from it by her.

Lin Feng stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Can this be considered a dowry?"

Gu Yuena blinked her amethyst-like eyes, the corners of her mouth hooking up. "If you want, it's not impossible to give it all to you. I'm just afraid that if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it. To be unable to control the life force of the Life Gold means your own life force will be absorbed in reverse."

Lin Feng grinned. Of course, he knew. In ten thousand years, there was an unlucky tortoise that was just like that. Relying on having some fortune on it, it had concealed its aura and had come to secretly eat the Life Gold. As a result, it had instead buried its own hundred-thousand-year cultivation under the corrosion of the Life Gold.

"This is enough," Gu Yuena looked at the tennis-ball-sized piece of Life Gold in her hand and said in a low voice.

"What are you going to do?"

"To open up your spiritual sea, to accelerate your mastery of your own power. After this, your spiritual power will be enough to reach the realm of a Titled Douluo. Subsequently, you just need to nourish it, and you can grow quickly."

Lin Feng nodded and said gently, "Thank you."

A trace of dissatisfaction was in Gu Yuena's eyes. "Don't say that word again next time. I don't like it."

"Alright."

She slowly brought the Life Gold to Lin Feng's forehead. Her movement suddenly paused. "It will hurt a little. Bear with it," she then swiped his brow with her divine power, bringing out a small wound.

Only then did she press the Life Gold against the wound. In an instant, Lin Feng only felt a tearing pain coming from his forehead, as if his entire head was about to be torn open. He gritted his teeth, his hands clenched tight, trying hard to endure this kind of pain.

Gu Yuena looked at Lin Feng's face, which was twisted due to the pain. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but her hands did not stop moving. This was a process Lin Feng had to go through. Only in this way could he truly master his own power.

The soul veins and the martial soul entering his body had brought about a heaven-and-earth-shaking change in his body. His current physical strength and quality had reached another realm. To mobilize all his energy, he needed an even stronger spiritual power.

To have a short board in any aspect was intolerable for Lin Feng. Perhaps other soul masters who emulated Lin Feng would not need to open their spiritual sea. Their martial souls and soul veins were far from being as powerful as Lin Feng's.

The Life Gold turned into liquid and slowly flowed into Lin Feng's brain. The majestic life force instantly washed over his spiritual space. Lin Feng's original spiritual space began to rapidly expand, soon forming the size of a huge lake. At the same time, under Gu Yuena's surprised gaze, the "Qi" in Lin Feng's dantian also flowed into it.

It plated this lake, which had not yet given birth to spiritual power, with a layer of gold. Then, a faint golden spiritual power appeared in the lake like a timely rain from heaven.

In a flash, it had already formed a clear spring, which then rapidly rose, filling that huge lake to 80% full before stopping. The remaining Life Gold transformed into an azure life force, flowing into Lin Feng's four limbs and hundred bones, continuously nourishing them.

A sharp light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She closed her eyes and came forward, pressing her own forehead against Lin Feng's.

In the vast spiritual sea, the figures of Gu Yuena and Lin Feng appeared at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled, then in unison, looked towards the very center of this space.

In that center, a phantom of a bead was quietly suspended. Spiritual power and "Qi" flowed between it and the spiritual sea below it.

"Your Innate Treasure Pearl?"

"The color is not right."

The original Innate Treasure Pearl was a faint gold. Later, with the condensation of the soul veins, a five-colored substance appeared on the periphery. After the Five Elements soul veins were all gathered, those substances disappeared, and a five-colored "five qis" appeared inside the Innate Treasure Pearl.

The Innate Treasure Pearl in Lin Feng's dantian at this moment was that five-colored glazed form. But what was presented before Gu Yuena and Lin Feng at this moment was a deep color, as if it had fused multiple colors. The two could find specific colors.

The surface seemed to be dim and without light, yet it also seemed to be shining brightly. The seemingly contradictory adjectives used on it did not feel out of place at all.

Gu Yuena said slowly, "A person's spiritual sea will only reflect and manifest the power of their own origin. In the Asura's spiritual sea, you might only feel slaughter. In the Angel's spiritual sea, you might feel holiness and sublimity."

"Although I don't know why it has appeared here, one thing is certain: this is what your martial soul should truly look like. Just watch the changes. It is driving the growth of your spiritual power."

Lin Feng nodded. The two of them then withdrew their consciousness from this space and opened their respective eyes in the outside world.

Gu Yuena's soft hand stroked the wound between Lin Feng's brows. The wound instantly disappeared, returning to its original state, as smooth and delicate as a newborn baby's.

Lin Feng slowly stood up and said softly, "Level 60."

He had only been here for a few months, yet his soul power level had improved from level 56 to level 60. With just one more soul ring, he could ascend to Soul Emperor. A 16-year-old Soul Emperor!

"Do you need me to help you acquire a soul ring? There are also rowdy fellows among the soul beasts. According to Di Tian, there is a Dark-Devil God Tiger outside, possessing multiple attributes of evil, space, time, lightning, power, and wind, which is very suitable for you."

"It is a follower of the Evil God, relying on devouring other soul beasts for growth. You don't have to have any psychological burden. It is a common target of punitive expedition for all soul beasts."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I want to know how a soul ring is born, and how a god-bestowed soul ring is born."

Gu Yuena's purple pupils narrowed slightly. She clearly already knew Lin Feng's thoughts. She said softly, "Majestic soul power, a deep understanding of the laws, and a tyrannical spiritual power. A god-bestowed soul ring even needs divine power."

"A soul beast can self-condense a soul ring because it itself possesses its own characteristics, while a human needs to acquire it on their own, to understand the origin of their martial soul. It doesn't sound like much is needed, but the quality and quantity are completely beyond what an ordinary soul master can achieve."

"But I can," Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at Gu Yuena.

The soul veins had given Lin Feng a deep comprehension of the laws. "Qi" was an energy of a higher level than divine power. In the process of repeatedly transforming soul rings into soul veins, Lin Feng had long had an extremely deep understanding of the structure of a soul ring.

"Even if you succeed, the age limit might only be fifty thousand years."

"Have you forgotten that my soul veins can grow?"

Gu Yuena smiled. Her eyes held a soft light. Her fair hand stroked Lin Feng's cheek. "This is the treasure I have my eyes on. I will help you."

She took Lin Feng's hand and changed the Life Gold ring back into the huge piece of Life Gold. The two of them flew up and sat on it.

"During this time, you have to stay by my side," Gu Yuena blinked at Lin Feng.

"As you command," the corners of Lin Feng's mouth lifted.

A lustrous, azure light haloed out from beneath the two of them. Their ten fingers were tightly clasped.

That night, Ah Yin did not wait for Lin Feng's return. She looked at the prepared dishes and was lost in a daze. The Master isn't letting Xiao Feng come back again?

Why do I feel a little lost? Like my rightful place has been taken by someone else? Ah Yin pursed her lips, a faint unease in her heart.
