"Why is it so cold?" Lian Ming felt a little cold. He waved his hand but didn't manage to grab the blanket. Lian Ming opened his eyes in confusion and saw Liu Xu under the bed. She was holding Lian Ming's blanket in her hand. She was sizing up Lian Ming, who was hugging Moxie like an octopus.
"Um…Mom, I…" Lian Ming wanted to explain.
"Alright, get up and clean up for dinner." Liu Xu interrupted.
"Oh, okay." Lian Ming replied.
Liu Xu turned around and left. Lian Ming turned around to look at Moxie, who was still lying on the bed. Moxie blinked and looked back at him.
……
"Mom, I'm here." After Lian Ming finished washing up, he went into the house.
"Yes, come over." Liu Xu waved her hand.
"Oh." Lian Ming was unusually obedient.
"Where's Moxie?" Liu Xu asked Lian Ming.
"Oh, I took it back." He didn't even raise his head.
Liu Xu stared at Lian Ming for a long time without saying a word. Her stare made Elder Lian Ming uncomfortable and he lowered his head even more.
"Moxie won't give birth, right?" Liu Xu suddenly pinched her chin and said.
"Puff! Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Lian Ming spat out a mouthful of pork rib porridge. He coughed violently, and his entire face was as red as a monkey's butt. It was unknown whether he was embarrassed or choked.
……
Set off! To Sunset Forest
Because the Ming family was a noble family, they had their own carriage. Although it was not very luxurious, it was not much worse.
Lian Ming sat cross-legged in the carriage, holding Moxie in his arms. He was thinking about what kind of spirit ring he should get. His mother suggested a speed type spirit ring. Her original words were: "Ming 'er's spirit's attack power is not weak, even sharper than my Green Steel Sword. Adding on the 25% damage bonus, it's only stronger than when I had one ring. If I add a speed type attack spirit ring, my son won't be beaten black and blue like you in the past when fighting with beast spirit masters."
"When…when did I get beaten by a beast spirit master! I'm not, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense!" Lian Sheng is quibbling again
"I think my son basically doesn't need a speed type spirit ring. Strength is the type that's the main thing. With my son's sword skill, if added with a powerful attack type spirit ring, my son basically wouldn't be afraid of ordinary beast spirit masters."
"And get beaten up like you?" Liu Xu hugged Lian Ming and said without turning her head.
Lian Sheng's face turned red when he heard that. The veins on his forehead bulged as he argued,"You…How can you insult someone's innocence without any basis?!" Sparring isn't getting beaten up…Sparring! Can a Spirit Master's matter be called getting beaten up?" Then, he said something difficult to understand, such as "sneak attack","disrespectful martial arts","mouse tail juice", and so on. Even the mother and son burst into laughter, and the carriage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
……
Lian Ming and the others had spent an entire morning to travel the hundred li distance from Heaven Dou City to the Sunset Forest. The main reason was because Lian Ming, the six-year-old child, was there. Liu Xu had asked the coachman to slow down.
"Ah, we're finally here!" Lian Ming was the first to jump down from the car with Moxie in his arms.
"I've been sitting in the car for the entire morning. My butt is about to explode." Lian Ming complained.
"You must be hungry. Come, let's go eat." Liu Xu followed him out of the car and patted Lian Ming's head from behind.
"Alright! Mom, is this the Sunset Forest?" Lian Ming asked as he looked at the shops and the crowd on both sides.
"Not yet. We're in a small town outside the forest. We'll set off for the Sunset Forest after lunch." Liu Xu replied as she followed behind Lian Ming and pointed the way.
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the restaurant. Lian Ming sat on a stool and looked around. He looked at the furnishings and customers in the restaurant. He looked left and right. He was very curious about everything around him.
Although he had already been in this world for six years, he had never come into contact with anything outside of Heaven Dou City. In these six years, he had trained his sword skills and spent the most time in the backyard of his house. In the beginning, there were often children who came to play with him. In the end, they were all kicked to tears by him.
Can't you see that I'm practicing my sword? It's so f * cking annoying.
Now, when these children heard that their parents wanted to bring them to the Ming family, they cried and rolled on the ground, unable to get up. They strongly expressed that they would not go again even if their buttocks were to be split open.
Lian Ming was also happy to be free, and then he was completely blind to everything outside of home.
He had never left Heaven Dou City before, and this was his first time going out, so he was quite curious about things outside of Heaven Dou City.
After lunch, Lian Sheng bought some rations.
"Is this for dinner?" Lian Ming said as he looked at the jerky his father had bought.
Liu Xu: "No, wait for your dad to book a room. We'll only be gone for the afternoon and will be back in the evening." This is the food that we will prepare if we don't come back tonight. Son, you must remember to be prepared for the worst. If we don't come back tonight, this will be our dinner. When the child is born, your father and I are still young. We can help you take care of him, but you're still young. So early…"
"Mom! What are you talking about? Moxie won't give birth!" Lian Ming saw that Liu Xu was getting more and more ridiculous and interrupted her.
"Oh! Is that so? It's fine then, but you have to control yourself." Liu Xu pinched her chin and nodded, then said to Lian Ming.
"Mom!" Even Ming was exasperated.
"Ah, alright, alright. My son can play however he wants. It's alright, it's alright." Liu Xu caressed Lian Ming's head and coaxed him.
Lian Ming was speechless. On the other hand, Liu Xu wanted to go back and buy more good things for her son to nourish himself.
Lian Sheng then walked over, indicating that everything was ready and they could set off. Lian Ming and his son stood up to indicate that they were ready. Lian Sheng picked up the rations on the table and walked out the door.
Set off, Sunset Forest.
……
In the Sunset Forest, Lian Ming hugged Moxie and panted as he leaned against a tree.
Just now, Lian Sheng and his wife wanted to hurry on their way, so they planned to carry Lian Ming on their backs. This way, it would be faster, but Lian Ming didn't agree. Thinking that it was only a few miles, he wanted to carry Moxie and follow them to catch up.
He didn't expect his spirit power to be so weak, running for a few miles and he couldn't do it. Lian Ming felt that it didn't make sense.
Liu Xu's heart ached when she saw Lian Ming like this. She quickly wiped her son's sweat and stroked his chest to calm him down. Lian Sheng stood at the side, pinching his chin as he observed Lian Ming. From time to time, he would frown, as if he was thinking about something.
Lian Ming also noticed Lian Sheng's strange behavior and asked curiously,"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
"I used to think that your martial soul was most likely a beast martial soul. When you displayed the Twin Male and Female Swords, I thought that your martial soul was a variation, having the characteristics of a tool martial soul and a beast martial soul at the same time. Now it seems that I thought too much." Lian Sheng answered seriously.
Lian Ming was speechless. Lian Ming wasn't sure if he had a Beast Spirit or Tool Spirit. Now that he thought about it, Lian Sheng was right.
"Then what kind of spirit ring should I hunt now?" Lian Ming asked curiously.
"En…since it's a tool spirit, you can also hunt plant system spirit beasts, but there's no need, you can still listen to father's opinion and take a powerful offensive spirit ring, just like that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sword Douluo, famous for his powerful single target attack power, you also…. ouch! Pain, pain, pain…"Lian Sheng was sitting cross-legged in front of Lian Ming when Liu Xu pulled his ear.
"Of all things to compare, compare it with Sword Douluo. What did you say about learning from Sword Douluo, turning all his spirit abilities into power attack type spirit abilities, and then becoming like you?" Liu Xu said with disdain.
When Lian Sheng heard this, his face turned red. Sword Douluo was the idol of all Sword Spirit Masters. When Lian Sheng was young, he did a stupid thing. Because he worshipped Sword Douluo too much, in order to pursue Sword Douluo's powerful killing power, he equipped all his spirit abilities with powerful killing type spirit abilities.
The first thirtieth ranked Spirit Elders were still alright, relying on their decent sword techniques and formidable lethality, they could often overcome ten with one force, turning the tables. But when he reached the fortieth rank Spirit Ancestor, Liu Xu discovered that Lian Sheng unexpectedly could no longer dodge the attacks of Spirit Masters of the same rank. He could only choose to fight the enemy's attacks head-on, and if he couldn't fight, he could only resist. However, his attack power was rarely matched within the same rank. Thus, when Lian Sheng cultivated to the fiftieth rank, he unexpectedly chose an attack type spirit ability again because he couldn't bear to part with his first ten thousand year spirit ring, causing Liu Xu to now have to choose an agility type spirit ring for her fifth spirit ability. Change to an agility attack system Spirit Master to assist him.
Lian Sheng hid at the side and rubbed his ears, muttering,"I have you!".
Liu Xu didn't care about Lian Sheng's childish behavior. She squatted in front of Lian Ming and said seriously:
"Oh, okay. I'll listen to Mommy." Lian Ming agreed. Lian Sheng squatted in a corner and drew circles.
"Alright, let's go. We'll walk slowly from now on. There's no hurry. We'll go back when it gets dark." Liu Xu stood up and stretched her waist.
Lian Sheng then led the way in front, Liu Xu brought up the rear, and Lian Ming walked between his parents. Even though there weren't many ten-thousand-year spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest, and even thousand-year spirit beasts were rare, Liu Xu chose the Sunset Forest because she considered Lian Ming. He thought that he only needed a speed-type ten-thousand-year spirit ring and didn't have many requirements.
As for Lian Ming, Liu Xu wanted to find him a Spirit Beast with fast speed and high damage. One of them was the Stormwind Demon Wolf. Not only was the Stormwind Demon Wolf fast, but it also had powerful attack power, which was very suitable for Lian Ming. Although the Stormwind Demon Wolves appeared in the form of a wolf pack, and they rarely appeared in the Sunset Forest, there was no problem with the strength of a consecutive Soul King. It was also because there was news that there was a pack of Stormwind Demon Wolves in the Sunset Forest. Liu Xu decided to eradicate this group of Stormwind Demon Wolves and randomly pick one to give to her son as a Soul Ring.
Just like that, Lian Ming's group searched the entire afternoon in the Sunset Forest. The sun was already preparing to set, but they still hadn't found a suitable spirit ring. Not to mention ten thousand year spirit beasts, there weren't even a few thousand year spirit beasts. All of them were ten or hundred year spirit beasts, and many of them were quite suitable for Lian Ming. However, Liu Xu didn't even take a fancy to them. She had already reserved the Stormwind Demon Wolf as her son's spirit ring. She didn't even want to look at those that couldn't compare to the Stormwind Demon Wolf.
"Roar ~"
The sky was already dark. Lian Ming and the others were on their way back when they suddenly heard a wolf's howl.
Liu Xu's eyes lit up. Liu Xu had been looking for the Stormwind Demon Wolf for a long time, but she hadn't expected to find it when they returned.
Liu Xu quickly pulled Lian Ming over and squatted down with Lian Sheng. Lian Sheng was scouting ahead while Liu Xu pulled Lian Ming along as they followed behind the wolf howls.
Finally, Lian Ming and his group passed through the forest and saw a group of wolves surrounding a wildebeest on a plain. This wildebeest was unusual. Its entire body was covered in muscles and appeared very bloated. Its entire head was actually silver, and its pair of silver-white horns showed its sharpness.
The wildebeest's four limbs were constantly moving, staring at the wolf pack that surrounded it. It was not flustered. The wolf pack looked scary, but they were actually all low-level soul beasts. There was not a single thousand-year soul beast, and it was a silver-headed wildebeest that had been around for more than five thousand years. However, it could not run. It did not want to expose its back to the wolf pack.
It was a stalemate, and no one moved, until…
"Awooo ~" A wolf's howl sounded from a slope on the plains. The wildebeest began to look very irritable. Its nose blew hot air, and its silver head was so low that it was almost touching the ground. Its front legs dug hard into the soil.
Lian Sheng and Liu Xu looked curiously at the slope.
"Gale Demon Wolf King!"
