At this moment, Jiang Zhu knelt with proper form, the scenery beneath her green dress fully exposed to Chu Qin, a deep, alluring trail catching his eye. In fact, Chu Qin had already activated the power of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, but this hazy beauty seemed even more intoxicating to him.
However, Jiang Zhu seemed unaware of anything.
"Jiang Zhu, since you've called me Master, why add the title of Great Worship?" Chu Qin helped Jiang Zhu to her feet while he asked.
"Yes, Master!" Jiang Zhu nodded in agreement.
"Good, since you're my disciple now, I shall give you a meeting gift!" Chu Qin said with a smile.
"There's no need, Master!" Jiang Zhu hurriedly shook her head. To be able to become Chu Qin's disciple was already a great honor; how could she accept a meeting gift from him as well!
"I say I will give you one, and you're not allowed to refuse! Otherwise, you'd be defying your Master's orders!" Chu Qin's pupils slightly dilated as he said this with a smile.
"Jiang Zhu wouldn't dare!" It was then that Jiang Zhu finally accepted.
"Jiang Zhu, don't be nervous!" Chu Qin said softly with a slight smile, "Giving you this meeting gift is to ensure you don't fall too far behind them!"
"Ah? Master, didn't you say that I'm currently your only disciple?" Chu Qin asked.
"I'm not talking about disciples, but about the Elders of the Martial Soul Hall!" Chu Qin replied, "You can't lag too far behind them!"
"Ah! The Elders... they are all Titled Douluos!" Jiang Zhu exclaimed in shock.
"What about Titled Douluos?" Chu Qin smiled and said, "In your Master's eyes, Titled Douluos are no different from Soul Scholars!"
Jiang Zhu was speechless, not knowing how to respond. The pinnacle of existence in the Soul Masters world that she had aspired to all her life was equated by her Master to mere Soul Scholars without even a Soul Ring!
By then, Chu Qin had already taken out a ring and handed it to Jiang Zhu!
Just now, as he spoke, he had gathered the gifts for Jiang Zhu into a ring because there were simply too many things from Chu Qin!
"Master, this is... a Soul Guidance Container?" Jiang Zhu looked at the ring in Chu Qin's hand and said in surprise.
"Hmm, inside are all the things that I'm giving you!" Chu Qin replied, "Take a look, and remember, you must not disobey your Master's command!"
Jiang Zhu then accepted the ring.
"Take a look, see if the things inside are satisfactory!"
"Master... this... Jiang Zhu can't possibly..." Jiang Zhu swept a glance to find the contents inside could drive the entire Soul Masters world mad! A complete, orderly set of seven soul bones, not just six, but also an attached soul bone, as well as a foot-tall block of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, a piece of armor, and a metallic Great Sword—too many items to count...
"What were you saying just now!" Chu Qin snapped with irritation, "A Master's command is inviolable!"
"But... Master, this is too much!" said Jiang Zhu, somewhat overwhelmed and uneasy.
"Take what your Master gives you!" Chu Qin replied, "Jiang Zhu, these seven soul bones are all over two hundred thousand years in age, and that attached soul bone is even a fifty-thousand-year soul bone. If you absorb one a day, by the time you've absorbed them all, your Soul Power should reach seventy to eighty levels!"
On this trip to the Black Sea, Chu Qin had no idea how many soul beasts he had killed, and each of his women were fully equipped with a Full Soul Bone Set. Naturally, their soul bones all ended up in Chu Qin's hands!
Moreover, having killed so many powerful beings and soul beasts earlier, Chu Qin had around a hundred soul bones in his possession, if not a hundred, then at least eighty!
"Ah... a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone!" Jiang Zhu's voice dropped, her fear palpable.
"Yes, and that half meter tall Ice Marrow is called Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow. There are also other Ten-thousand-year Ginsengs, Immortal Herbs, and the like, all of which are great tonics. You can eat a little every day!" Chu Qin added.
"Don't kneel again!" Seeing Jiang Zhu attempting to kneel, Chu Qin quickly stopped her, "Jiang Zhu, as I said before, you are my only disciple. If I don't spoil you, who else would I spoil!"
"Then, thank you, Master!" Jiang Zhu replied.
"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, "Jiang Zhu, moreover, relying on these alone is not enough. From now on, I will train you every day using the Secret Manual, and then I will take you to hunt soul beasts!"
"Thank you so much, Master!" Jiang Zhu thanked him again.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed!
In these ten days, Chu Qin had visited Poseissi, and checked on Xiaowu and the others to see how they were absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.
At night, he sparred crazily with Bi Bidong, Mo Xi, Rhea, Zi Ji, and Ah Yin.
During the day, he spent his time with Jiang Zhu, training and hunting soul beasts!
Even when Chu Qin wasn't around, he would have Bi Bidong and Mo Xi take care of her, and they all treated Chu Qin's only disciple as if she were their own younger sister!
Because, they already knew everything.
Of course, Chu Qin's flirtatious behavior was unavoidable!
Thanks to the soul bones, secret manuals, ice marrow, and spirit medicine, along with the continuous coaching by super beings like Chu Qin, Rhea, Mo Xi, and Bi Bidong, within ten days, Jiang Zhu's level jumped from thirty-seven to seventy-eight!
"Jiang Zhu!"
One day, Chu Qin came to the square with Rhea.
"Master!" Jiang Zhu happily looked at Chu Qin.
"Today, I need to make a trip to Sea God Island," Chu Qin said to Jiang Zhu with a smile, "So your sister Rhea will be in charge of training you!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhu showed a bit of disappointment, "Master, where are you going?"
"To Martial Soul Hall!" Chu Qin replied.
"What? Master, you're going back to Martial Soul Hall?" Jiang Zhu asked in surprise.
"Yes, Xue'er has completed her eighth trial there," Chu Qin nodded, "I must go to help with the final one! Don't worry, Rhea is also a bona fide Sun God. Having her train you won't be any worse than me!"
"Then Master, how long will you be gone?"
Jiang Zhu couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "This trip back to Soul Land might take a while before I can return!"
Jiang Zhu's feeling of loss seemed to deepen.
It was as if she had grown accustomed to living with Chu Qin!
"That's settled then, I'll be leaving now, Rhea!"
Having said this, Chu Qin looked towards Rhea.
"What is it?" Rhea responded with a smile.
Chu Qin smiled calmly and kissed Rhea on the lips, whispering in her ear, "Remember, treat Jiang Zhu like your own sister. Don't hit or scold her!"
"How could I!" Rhea softly replied.
Watching Chu Qin and Rhea kiss, Jiang Zhu reflexively turned her head away but still glanced at Chu Qin out of the corner of her eye.
"Why do I... wish I were Sister Rhea!" Jiang Zhu thought secretly to herself, "No, no! He's my Master, how can I harbor such thoughts about him!"
Chu Qin didn't leave Sea God Island right away; he had already told Bi Bidong and the others in the storm last night. Therefore, he made his way over to where Xu Shi Yun and her sister were staying.
At the moment, Xu Shi Yun and Xu Yichen seemed to be out, with only Qin Sijing present.
"Aunt Si Jing? Where are Shi Yun and Yi Chen?" Chu Qin asked.
"The two of them, along with Jing'er and Longhuang, have gone to study that Divine Bone, Dragon Bone thing!" Qin Sijing said with a smile, "Why, are you looking for them for something?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to take a trip out of Sea God Island!" Chu Qin replied, "I wanted to tell them as well!"
