Under Christine's disdainful gaze, Bexia simply devoured the half-smeared breakfast she had thrown at herself. It was completely his own fault, as he had exhausted the chef and had no energy or motivation to make a proper breakfast, let alone a halfway-done one. So, being able to eat anything at all was already a good outcome.
Emerging from the canyon, Bexia gradually felt that he had entered another world. Numerous white crystal formations appeared on the ground and mountain walls around him. Surprisingly, Bexia's Soul-Stabilizing Eight Trigrams could actually extract soul power from them. In a sense, this place was a paradise for Bexia.
However, he didn't dwell on these trivial advantages. If there were a multitude of soul power in this world, then there must also be some heavenly treasures related to soul power. Finding any of those treasures would yield far greater benefits than the time spent here by Bexia.
As they entered a large forest outside the canyon, Bexia noticed something strange about the two little girls. The ordinary animals they encountered were surprisingly friendly towards the two girls, willingly approaching them. The two girls also loved these little animals, which quickly gathered around them.
"How is this possible?" Bexia exclaimed. The two little girls had so many secrets, and there was always something extraordinary about them.
"It's because of their pure spirits. The goodwill that originates from their nature is favored by the world's will. That's why living beings with an innocent heart are powerful in both cultivation and comprehension. They are beloved by the world's will," explained Christine.
"How do you know, Christine?"
"Master, you shouldn't spend all your time immersed in the virtual network world. Look at useful things once in a while, so you won't be blind to everything when you step out," Christine retorted, giving her master a resentful look.
"But I have you for that!" Bexia remained oblivious and hugged Christine, planting a kiss on her face.
"Master, be careful! There's a new soul presence nearby!" Suddenly, Christine's face, which had been blushing, turned pale. Her fingers rested on the bowstring as an arrow made of light formed a full moon.
"Snap! Snap!" Bexia saw a seemingly transparent butterfly flying towards them. However, before the butterfly could flutter its wings in the sky, it fell from above and crashed into the ground, breaking some branches in the process.
"What's going on?" Bexia looked at the butterfly lying in the dirt. He picked it up, using the Noir Magnetwarblade to examine it, but the crystal-like butterfly showed no response.
"This butterfly is so beautiful!" Luo Ningxian looked at the crystal butterfly lying on the ground. She gently brushed away the soil and cradled the half-meter-sized butterfly in her hands.
At the same time, a faint blue light appeared on her body, and the crystal butterfly, which had previously looked miserable, immediately recovered. It flew out of Luo Ningxian's hands, fluttering its wings as if expressing gratitude towards her.
"This pure heart is really too unconventional!" Bexia exclaimed as she looked at it.
"That's for sure, otherwise why would the master fall in love with them so quickly after not seeing them for long?" Christine chuckled. Their influence on Bexia wasn't as great, especially for someone like her who had a soul life. The feeling was actually stronger for her.
"Something is approaching again!" Christine frowned, pulling back her longbow. This time, a large cluster of jelly-like creatures appeared. Bexia couldn't help but be stunned because this thing was a very common and weak creature called a slime.
"Why does this slime look so strange?!" Bexia looked at the huge black slime, which looked like a small lump of earth, and felt that it was different. It disgusted her just by looking at it. If the crystal butterflies looked beautiful, then this thing in front of her represented ugliness.
"Roar!" The black slime saw Bexia and the others seemingly happy and opened a huge mouth in its jelly-like body, which was almost the same size as the slime itself. Its elastic body leaped from the ground and pounced directly at Luo Ningxian. In its eyes, Luo Ningxian was like a drug that an addict needed, with a deadly allure.
"Swoosh!" Christine wouldn't just watch. In the instant the black slime jumped, she released her finger from the bowstring, and the brilliant light arrow split into hundreds of tiny arrows that flew out. The black slime didn't even have a chance to scream as it was shot and transformed into a pile of mud that fell to the ground.
"This slime is so strange?!" Christine approached the dead slime and squatted down, touching a trace of black slime with her finger. This thing was actually the slime's blood.
"The slime's blood contains a large amount of resentment and also some soul power, just like..."
"Similar to the soul-devouring wraith outside!" Bexia also noticed the problem.
"It should be able to be purified!" Bexia extended her hand and used Light of Expulsion on the black slime, immediately a grim wraith aura emerged, but it quickly disappeared, leaving behind a transparent crystal-like slime corpse on the ground.
"The body fluid of this slime, after refinement, should be able to be used to make soul-related secret medicine!" Christine pinched a strand of transparent slime fluid and said again.
"But it's quite ordinary, it's not valuable to us!" Bexia took out the Soul-suppressing Eight Trigrams and activated it, extracting the soul power within a few breaths.
"Master, your artifact is really convenient. If others found out, they would fight to take it!"
"Taking it would be useless. This is Lady Cloud's thing, and it is also the core component of the projection doll. It is not just a magical device." Bexia tightly gripped the Soul-suppressing Eight Trigrams in her hand. Originally, it was just a simple item, but since last night, it had become more than just that.
If you pay close attention, you would notice that Bexia didn't put in the Calmness Charm, and the soul power that was just absorbed was absorbed by one of the small black shadows inside.
"Big brother!" At this moment, Luo Ningxian suddenly pulled his clothes.
"What happened?"
"Little Butterfly asked me to ask you for help in saving it and its tribe's sacred trees!" Luo Ningxian pointed to the crystal butterfly in her hand and said.
"You can communicate with it?!" Bexia looked at Luo Ningxian in astonishment.
"Hehe! Isn't Fairy amazing? She can communicate with all things!" Luo Cailin proudly said on the side.
"There's actually such an ability?! To communicate with all things?"
"Yes! Fairy can communicate with any race, even ordinary animals or flowers and trees!"
"Fairy is so amazing!" Bexia patted the blue-haired little girl's head and praised her. Luo Ningxian blushed instantly at his words.
"I'm amazing too!" Luo Cailin grumbled on the side.
"Yes! Yes! An Ling is amazing too!" Bexia also reached out and patted her head.
"I'm really amazing!"
