The next morning.
Bright sunlight shone into the room. Su Chen was just about to get up and stretch when he was suddenly grabbed by something. Lifting the blanket, he saw Su Xiaoyao curled up into a ball.
She tightly hugged Su Chen's arm and pouted. She was clearly sleeping, but she had an expression as if someone owed her millions.
Very cute.
Su Chen couldn't help but pinch her chubby cheeks.
This is too fun.
Just as Su Chen was having fun, Su Xiaoyao suddenly opened her eyes.
"Dad, can you be a bit more mature."
"Cough cough …"
Su Chen was choked speechless and immediately went downstairs to eat breakfast.
Today, Lulu prepared a very sumptuous breakfast. The main dish was fried eggs and a jelly-like paste. The color was crystal clear and the smell was fragrant and tempting.
There were also some fried meatballs that seemed to be made from Vermillion Bird meat. It was extraordinarily fragrant.
The fried eggs and jelly were definitely not made from ordinary ingredients, but Su Chen was too lazy to ask and just ate to his heart's content.
"Xiao Chen, you really know how to have fun. I heard that you hired soul masters in the Soul World to help you fish for spirit fish for half a month. You don't know how funny father's expression was when he heard the news."
Su Chen smiled awkwardly. "I did that to reduce the risk of everyone's trial. Besides, who said that fishing isn't a trial? We soul masters aren't a fighting profession. Tempering one's state of mind is more meaningful for soul masters."
"What you say makes sense. Furthermore, this trial can be considered a great success. After all, in the previous trials, it took half a month just to enter the Forest of Souls. Father and the other soul grandmasters are all very curious as to how you managed to lead the soul grandmasters into the Forest of Souls in only a single day."
"Maybe my luck is good."
Su Chen shrugged.
While eating, Su Chen suddenly felt Meng Die's soul fluctuations. She was summoning him to the Soul Hall.
Su Chen said, "Sister Lulu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xiaoyao today."
"No problem, leave it to me. Xiaoyao is so cute, being able to take care of her is my honor."
Su Chen swallowed a few pieces of fried eggs and meatballs before heading to the Soul Hall.
Su Chen went up to the second floor with ease and went straight to Meng Die's room. He pushed the door open and entered.
Meng Die was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through an ancient soul book.
Su Chen was about to speak when DreamButterfly said without even lifting her head, "Sit down first and wait for me."
Su Chen was speechless. Can't you finish reading the book before calling me?
Forget it, I'll wait. Who asked her to be my savior?
When the Spirit King's vengeful spirit revived, if not for Meng Die's appearance, Su Chen really wouldn't know what to do.
Adding on the fact that Meng Die had helped Su Chen repair his soul crack, helped him gather Heavenly Flames, and even had a soul bond with him, it had to be said that Su Chen owed Meng Die a lot of favors.
Furthermore, Meng Die was a Sky Raising realm super expert. She could turn Su Chen into ashes with a single breath.
In front of Meng Die, no matter how unruly Su Chen was, he still had to lower his head and behave himself.
After waiting for a full hour, Meng Die finally reacted.
"Finally found it."
She handed the soul book in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen looked at it and saw a huge egg drawn on the soul book.
"This is …" Su Chen's expression shook.
"The little girl you picked up should have hatched from this egg, right?"
Su Chen was shocked. He didn't say anything, but Meng Die could even guess this. Her foresight was godly.
Su Chen said with a face of admiration, "Sister Meng Die, you're too amazing."
"Don't be in a hurry to flatter me. Continue reading."
Su Chen nodded and looked at the information recorded in the soul book.
After a moment, Su Chen frowned deeply.
"This is … the Limitless Heavenly Demon's egg?"
"Most likely."
Meng Die walked in front of Su Chen and said, "You really know how to cause trouble. Back then, the Revered One, Yu Tianheng, completely wiped out the Spirit Tribe for this egg. In the end, he didn't get what he wanted. You only participated in the Soul World's Trial once, and you obtained something that even Yu Tianheng couldn't get. I really don't know what to say about you."
"This … is it that exaggerated?"
"Although I can't be sure, I observed the little girl last night. The aura on her body made me feel afraid. Even if she's not the Limitless Heavenly Demon, she's definitely not someone to be trifled with."
"Then what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Meng Die snorted coldly. "She's already called you father. What else can we do? Raise her."
"Uh, but that's the Limitless Heavenly Demon."
"We can't be sure. Furthermore, even if she's the Limitless Heavenly Demon, she's only a child now. As long as she's raised well, there's only a fine line between a Heavenly Demon and a Heavenly Immortal."
What she said seemed to make some sense.
"Sister Meng Die, did you call me here just to tell me this?"
Su Chen shook his head helplessly. He would rather not know these things. He just wanted to raise a daughter. Now that he knew Su Xiaoyao's background, it would be more stressful to get along with her in the future.
"Of course not."
Meng Die didn't care what Su Chen thought. She pulled his arm and brought him to the bedroom. "Perform soul intercourse with me."
"Alright …"
Half a day later, Su Chen walked out of the Soul Hall with light steps.
Although soul intercourse didn't consume physical strength, it was too taxing on one's mind.
It felt like his soul was being hollowed out.
"Oh yes, make some preparations. Follow me to the Northern Desert in ten days."
"Uh … I won't be going."
"You dare to disobey my orders?"
Aren't you making things difficult for me?
I refuse … I don't dare to refuse.
"Alright, as long as you can protect me, I'll go."
"Don't worry. Although the Northern Desert is stronger than our Soul Hall, there are only three Sky Pillar realm experts. With me around, you don't have to be afraid."
The confidence that Su Chen accumulated in the Soul World seemed to crumble in an instant.
Why do I feel like I'm being kept?
Go home and sleep.
The next day, Su Chen found Soul Grandmaster Zhu Wu early in the morning.
Not only was Soul Grandmaster Zhu Wu an eighth stage Soul Grandmaster, he was also a very powerful blacksmith. In the entire Soul Hall, only he had the ability to create transcendent-grade divine artifacts.
The Taiji Immortal Sword was destroyed in the Soul World. Although Su Chen still had the Heaven-Destroying Sword, it was a divine artifact after all. It was the key to dealing with the Heavenly Sovereign of Seven Treasures and couldn't be used casually. Coincidentally, Su Chen had obtained many precious blacksmithing materials in the Soul World. He planned to ask Soul Grandmaster Zhu Wu to help him forge a new flying sword.
Zhu Wu's personality was cultured and refined, completely unlike the other blacksmiths who had a violent expression. After hearing Su Chen's request, he thought for a moment before agreeing.
"What attribute divine artifact do you want?"
"It's best if it can increase the power of fire attribute techniques."
"Then I'm afraid your materials aren't suitable. However, this is easy. I happen to have a piece of Heavenly Fire Divine Stone that's suitable for the artifact you need. You can use this Star Core to exchange with me. The Heavenly Fire Divine Stone is more valuable than your Star Core. However, you're our Soul Hall's Holy Son. If you don't have a suitable artifact, it'll be hard for you to support our Soul Hall.
“
"Then I really have to thank Master Zhu." Su Chen gratefully bowed. Soul Hall truly had many good people.
