57. Harvest of External Spirit Bones?

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yue shook his head slowly.

"I don't believe you have any malicious intentions."

Realizing that his statement was too one-sided, Xie Yue quickly added, "From my perspective, I don't think you have any malicious intentions."

That was his logical conclusion. If the other party had come with ill intentions, he wouldn't have taught him the skills to control spirit power.

Xie Yue never believed that such an intelligent person could be easily charmed. He always maintained a humble attitude towards himself, an objective attitude towards others, and an attitude of awe towards the world. This mindset had developed during his precocious teenage years.

Of course, Xie Yue himself was not very old, only fifteen years old. Lu Yuan smiled and lightly clapped his hands, wearing a nostalgic expression on his face.

"Finally, someone who understands!" he exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue's eyes twitched. He already knew who was included in that statement.

First and foremost, it was undoubtedly Yan, the idiot. Secondly, his sister Hu Liena was also a "winner." Then, the two elders of the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, were likely part of it as well. And finally, over 20 spirit saints were added to the list.

It was even possible that he himself was considered an idot by the other party. If it weren't for the other party's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed the difference.

Seemingly unaware of Xie Yue's change in expression, the boy swung his legs and spoke with a mocking smile.

"To be honest, I don't have a good impression of your Spirit Hall. When we first met, you always tried to charm me, big brother. Don't you think that's a bit too fake?. I am not a slave to my desires."

With a playful gesture, the young man spread his hands and wore a helpless expression.

Fortunately, Xie Yue had thick skin. Ignoring the "big brother" who didn't know the truth, he looked at the boy in front of him with an unchanged expression, waiting to hear what else he had to say.

Lowering the smile on his face, Lu Yuan continued to speak in a casual tone.

"As a person, I prefer to see results. You didn't interrupt me when I fused my spirit bone, and when Yan gave me a hard time, Hu Liena stood up to defend me. There may be many reasons for it, but unfortunately, I don't want to get entangled in them."

"Test a person with a lie, and the result will always be a lie. But during this process, I think it's necessary to find a quiet spectator to tell him, let him watch, and let him speculate on the next plot development. Loneliness is a terrible thing. So, as a supporting actor, if I don't want to experience that feeling, the best way is to find an 'audience,' as I mentioned before."

With a smile, the boy rubbed the docile Pikachu in his hands.

In his mind, Pikachu felt so soft and cute, obedient, and even had certain fighting and self-protection abilities. It was the perfect choice for a pet.

A faint displeasure appeared on Xie Yue's face. It was only natural to feel unhappy when hearing such a strange reason, especially when he had just been labeled as stupid.

"I prefer to stay within the boundaries of rules and see if this fruit of lies can truly be touched," the boy continued. He looked at Xie Yue seriously. "So, please promise me that you won't ruin the plot just because you know the inside story."

Xie Yue's cheek twitched uncontrollably. He nodded with a depressed expression and asked, "Can I ask you something? If the two things you mentioned earlier develop in opposite directions, how will you react to us?"

"Impossible," he replied.

"?"

Xie Yue was clearly confused by the unexpected answer and took a while to react.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to patiently explain his answer in more detail. "I mean, you can't ask me."

The smirk on his face was almost uncontrollable. It was the most cheeky and refined answer Xie Yue had ever heard in her life. Unfortunately for him, the cheeky and refined answer almost broke through his defenses.

"In short, please believe me when I say I have no ill intentions," Lu Yuan comforted Xie Yue, who was lost in thought and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Little did he know that this dealt another critical blow to Xie Yue's youthful and immature mind. He looked at the boy in front of him with a mix of grief and anger, wishing he could rush up and kill him immediately. Did he know how irritating it was to pry into people's hearts? And why did this despicable bastard possess such a strange and shameless ability?

Rumble!

A groan interrupted Xie Yue's deathly glare. Instinctively looking downward, he noticed that his sister had finished absorbing the spirit ring and was standing up, stretching her muscles. But why did his perspective feel so comprehensive?

Xie Yue cast a suspicious gaze at Lu Yuan. He seemed to sense Xie Yue's piercing gaze and waved his hand indifferently, offering a perfunctory response.

"Charm is charm, beauty is beauty. We should always have a pair of eyes to appreciate beauty because our eyes are an organ that must be used as we grow. And I used mine to appreciate the 'beauty.

...

Furious, Xie Yue exclaimed inwardly "I could strangle you right now!". He understood it all. The scoundrel in front of him didn't speak a single word of truth, it was all sophistry.

In essence, it made sense when analyzed carefully, but really, what kind of sophistry is this?

Boom!

The giant tree suddenly swayed, and Xie Yue almost fell off. He instinctively grasped the branch and looked downward.

Xie Yue rubbed her eyes in disbelief and then stared at the massive tail behind Hu Liena.

"External spirit bone," she whispered.

Xie Yue pinched his own face, seemingly trying to convince himself that this wasn't a dream. He rushed over to Hu Liena's side, carefully examining the external spirit bone that had become as huge as a mace—the fox tail.

The more he looked, the dizzier and more depressed she felt. What was happening? Were external spirit bones just casually available, like in their Spirit Hall?

They were coming and going, external spirit bones appearing one after another, all produced from the bodies of thousand-year-old spirit beasts. Not only was the probability accurately grasped, but the timing was also precise enough!

Yueguan gritted his teeth in anger.

Heaven was pitiless. This Titled Douluo didn't even possess a spirit bone in his body. And yet, today, he encountered two external spirit bones in less than half a day. And both of them were absorbed by individuals who couldn't make use of them.

At this moment, Yue Guan didn't know whether to attribute it to good luck or bad luck. As he watched Hu Liena show off her external spirit bone with tears in his eyes, Yue Guan could only silently ponder:

When he returned, why not bring up the topics of performance and high-level bonuses with Her Holiness the Pope?. He wasn't asking for much, just a random spirit bone would suffice.

Even if the attributes of the spirit bone were not suitable, he could try exchanging it on the black market. What if he could obtain his favorite spirit bone?
