—------------------—
Xu Tianyang's heart trembled. Meeting Qian Renxue's expectant golden eyes, he clearly felt her intentions.
"This is for you…" Xu Tianyang chuckled, taking out a long wooden box and handing it to Qian Renxue.
"What is this?" Not getting the answer she wanted, Qian Renxue was a little disappointed, but she wasn't the type to wallow in sadness. She quickly composed herself and, curious, took the box and asked.
As the box opened, a golden-red longsword came into view. The sword was three feet nine inches long and two and a half fingers wide. Although it looked slender, its actual weight was not light, and it felt extremely well-balanced in her hand.
A halo of light gathered on the sharp blade, seemingly absorbing sunlight, making it as transparent as golden crystal.
Of course, the most dazzling feature was the seven golden-yellow gemstones inlaid on the hilt. These were sunstones, an extremely rare metal that could absorb the power of the sun and unleash powerful energy.
"This is a Level 7 close-combat soul tool, the Sunflame Sword, that I made myself. I originally planned to upgrade it to Level 8 before giving it to you, but it seems there isn't enough time now," Xu Tianyang said slowly, looking at Qian Renxue with a gentle smile.
"You…" Qian Renxue looked at Xu Tianyang with joy, her previously calm heart once again burning with fervor. She gazed at Xu Tianyang with burning eyes, filled with an unprecedented aggressiveness and possessiveness.
"After you go back, cultivate well. Soul tools are not your main goal after all; the most important thing is your soul power cultivation. We'll see each other at the Soul Master Tournament in a year… Mmmph!" Xu Tianyang didn't notice this, offering his advice softly, until a pair of moist, sweet cherry lips pressed against his… As Xu Tianyang lifted the restrictions on his spiritual sea, he was met with a half-smiling face, and not far away, the expressions of the Skydream Iceworm and Ice Empress seemed to say, "fend for yourselves."
The Snow Empress's pristine white gown was spotless, making her appear ethereal and independent. Her beautiful face was slightly uplifted: "Oh ~ Prince Xu is back from his romantic escapade. It's rare that you still remember us, locked away in your little dark room!"
"Is Her Majesty the Snow Empress jealous?" Xu Tianyang chuckled, looking at her sky-blue eyes. Her eyes, usually as clear and transparent as the sky, were now full of mischief.
"How dare a humble woman like me be jealous? I've dedicated all my soul rings and soul bones. Now I don't even have a body and have to look to His Royal Highness for approval. Who knows, maybe one day if I displease him, I'll be banished to the dark and cold palace, just like a few days ago." The Snow Empress sounded like she had turned into a sour lemon, exuding an air of bitterness.
Xu Tianyang walked behind the Snow Empress and, despite her resistance, gently massaged her shoulders. Her warm, icy skin felt like caressing the softest silk in the world, making him reluctant to let go.
While massaging and enjoying the sensation, Xu Tianyang said softly, "Alright, alright, Your Majesty the Snow Empress, we're in this together. In front of you, I'm an open book. We're one in mind and body."
The Snow Empress only feigned resistance; her efforts weren't even enough to tickle Xu Tianyang. She comfortably enjoyed Xu Tianyang's service, letting out a soft hum: "You scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyang couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Little Snow Empress, handled!
"It's over, Bingbing, the Snow Empress has fallen in love…" Not far away, the Skydream Iceworm, who had seen everything, excitedly looked at the Ice Empress, secretly giving Xu Tianyang a thumbs-up.
"Well done, little Tianyang. The Snow Empress is taken, so she can't compete with me for Bingbing anymore."
"Shut up!" The Ice Empress roared, stomping the Skydream Iceworm under her foot… Three days later, in an unknown sea area with rolling waves.
A majestic warship, over a hundred meters long, slowly sailed through, cutting through the waves and leaving a long white trail of spray.
Compared to land, the sea, which occupies a larger area of Douluo Star, is even more mysterious and dangerous. Humanity's knowledge of the endless deep ocean, or even just the near-shore areas, is limited. As for the distant deep sea, it can be said that very little is known.
Xu Tianyang stood on the deck, observing the color of the surrounding seawater. The scenery of the sea was indeed unique: the vast and boundless ocean, with the spectacular sight of sky and water meeting in the distance.
The sun hung high overhead, making the sea sparkle.
In the afternoon, the sea waves began to pick up, but the Sun and Moon Empire's warships were specially made, naturally not comparable to ordinary sea vessels. Although there was some slight turbulence, the impact was minimal.
A day had already passed since they left Ming Dou. On board were not only Xu Tianyang, Xu Nianshuang, Yang Yiyi, and Ning Linglong, but also the entire Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion.
Although their numbers were only around five hundred, with the configuration of this warship, they could even attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At this moment, they had already entered the deep sea, where they could encounter powerful sea soul beasts at any time. They had just entered and had already encountered several attacks from sea soul beasts, including many with over ten thousand years of cultivation.
Fortunately, everyone was strong, and coupled with the various powerful soul tools on the warship, there were no casualties.
In the watchtower, several Soul Sect-level members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion were vigilantly observing the surrounding sea.
"Your Highness…" Qing Hui, the current leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion, walked behind Xu Tianyang and spoke softly: "According to the sea chart provided by Your Highness, we still have three days of sailing to reach our destination."
"Aunt Qing, thank you for your hard work patrolling these past few days. In this deep sea, it's best to be careful with everything," Xu Tianyang nodded kindly to Qing Hui.
Ever since her mother stepped down as the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion, this position had fallen to Qing Hui, the former vice-leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion. As an elder who had watched him grow up, their relationship was naturally very good.
Qing Hui had now broken through from Soul Sage to Soul Douluo.
"Your Highness, rest assured," Qing Hui nodded solemnly.
"How is Linglong? Is she feeling any better?" After giving some instructions, Xu Tianyang walked into the spacious cabin at the back and asked Xu Nianshuang and Yang Yiyi.
Xu Nianshuang and Yang Yiyi had both undergone tidal body refinement training, so they didn't have much reaction to the voyage. The Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Legion was also battle-hardened and had encountered all sorts of training; simply going out to sea was not difficult for them.
However, Ning Linglong had never been out to sea in her life, having mostly stayed in Seven Treasures City.
When they first started the sea journey, she was very excited, feeling that it was much more comfortable than on land. But after a day, her face turned pale, and she developed seasickness, which she hadn't recovered from even now.
"Not yet, Linglong still can't eat anything," Xu Nianshuang shook her head, saying with considerable worry.
"I'll go see her," Xu Tianyang nodded and got up, walking towards the upper floor.
