"A gift?"
Indeed, as soon as she heard the word 'gift', Ling Luochen's gaze was subconsciously drawn to the jade box in Bai Zhou's hand.
It was an ordinary jade box, with the effect of isolating aura.
However, perhaps the jade box was prepared in haste, so the isolation effect wasn't that great; a tiny bit of aura leaked out, which was an extremely powerful ice-cold attribute...
Most people might not be able to sense it, but for Spirit Masters with ice or fire attributes, the sensation was very obvious.
"This is..."
Ling Luochen felt the trace of incredibly pure cold air that leaked out, and her pupils slightly contracted.
"Little Tao said that Ling Luochen's Spirit is ice-attributed. I happen to have an ice-attributed pill here called the 'extreme ice pill', which should have a good effect on Ling Luochen."
As Bai Zhou spoke, he slowly opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, a terrifying cold air instantly covered the surroundings, causing the temperature within a radius of several dozen meters to plummet.
Just the dispersion of the cold air, its effect surpassed the cold pressure Ling Luochen had just released!
This extreme ice pill was naturally something Bai Zhou had wished for.
Ma Xiaotao had him regularly resolve her evil fire every week, so she no longer needed to take extreme ice pills; she only needed one as a backup.
Bai Zhou had a few extra from previous wishes and was wondering where to use them. He just happened to meet Ling Luochen, and giving them to her was just right, it wouldn't be wasted. It could be considered feeding... no... that's recycling waste, also not right...
This is being thrifty and economical!!
Mm, that's right!
Although I don't know the exact properties of the extreme ice pill, it's definitely very useful for ice-attributed Spirit Masters. Even at its worst, it can greatly increase spirit power.
Ling Luochen is currently a Level 55 Spirit King. Feeding her a few extreme ice pills, advancing to Spirit Emperor within three months is completely not a problem.
...
"Th-th-this... this is too precious, I can't accept it..."
Ling Luochen slightly swallowed her saliva, forcefully resisting the urge, and finally averted her gaze, blushing as she refused.
As an ice-attributed Spirit Master, she could most strongly feel the preciousness of this 'extreme ice pill'.
She is currently Level 55, close to Level 56. If she could completely digest the medicinal power of this one pill, she should be able to advance to Level 57, and with a little effort, she could quickly reach Level 58!
But...
Such a precious pill, yet the other party was using it as an apology gift.
The other party dared to give it, but she really didn't dare to accept it...
It wasn't that she was afraid Bai Zhou would ask her to do something strange with this... it was purely because she didn't deserve such a reward without contributing, she truly couldn't accept it.
This was like casually bumping into someone on the road.
The other party apologized without a second thought, then took out a Spirit Bone and offered it with both hands...
This was very strange.
As long as they were a normal person, they wouldn't dare to just take it.
"Ling Luochen, this is a token of my regard. Moreover, while this pill is precious, my Spirit is rather special and can produce quite a bit every month. Its main purpose is to suppress Senior Apprentice Sister Xiao Tao's evil fire, but it just so happens that Ling Luochen has an ice-attributed Spirit, so this pill is also quite suitable."
Bai Zhou explained with a smile.
Although he said that, Bai Zhou's main purpose was still to increase her favorability.
Once the favorability is high, anything is possible in the future.
"In that case, I'll shamelessly accept it..."
Ling Luochen blushed, slightly swallowed her saliva, and then very solemnly accepted the jade box from Bai Zhou's hand.
It wasn't that she wasn't reserved enough, but rather that the 'extreme ice pill' was too attractive to her. One extreme ice pill was almost equivalent to half a year of her arduous cultivation!
Most importantly, this was also Bai Zhou's kind intention, how could she bear to refuse...
Mm, that's the reason.
"Mm, that's right~ Actually, this isn't just my intention, but also Little Tao's intention~"
Bai Zhou Suddenly a bright smile appeared.
"Hmph hmph, that fellow..." Ling Luochen lightly snorted, thinking that Bai Zhou was making an excuse; that brute Ma Xiaotao wouldn't be so thoughtful.
Bai Zhou must have said this to ease the slight unpleasantness between her and Ma Xiaotao.
Thinking of this, Ling Luochen felt even more envious in her heart...
She couldn't figure out for the life of her how Ma Xiaotao managed to hook a perfect pretty boy like Bai Zhou...
"Oh, by the way, how did you and Xiao Tao... um... get together..."
Ling Luochen still couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, looked at Bai Zhou, and asked.
"Oh, Ling Luochen wants to know?"
Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Can you tell me?"
Ling Luochen's eyes lit up, and the flame of gossip instantly blazed fiercely.
"It's a bit hard to explain, but I can give Ling Luochen a demonstration. However, I'll need Ling Luochen's cooperation~"
Bai Zhou suddenly showed a shy smile and said.
"Of course you can. How do you demonstrate, and how do you need me to cooperate?"
Ling Luochen didn't notice the cunning in Bai Zhou's eyes at all and quickly asked.
"Mm, just like this~"
Bai Zhou pondered for a moment, then directly leaned in, hugged Ling Luochen, and buried his head into her...
He took a deep sniff.
Mm, it's different from Ma Xiaotao's scent, but still very fragrant...
"Ah!"
Ling Luochen exclaimed, wanting to push Bai Zhou away.
But halfway through the action, she remembered that Bai Zhou was demonstrating, and immediately stopped.
But her face still flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You guys... were like this from the start...?"
Ling Luochen looked at Bai Zhou, who was nestled in her arms, feeling a bit incredulous.
Although Ma Xiaotao was carefree, she wouldn't go that far...
"Mm, there's also..."
As Bai Zhou spoke, he reached out and gently held Ling Luochen's little foot.
Ling Luochen had just been sitting with her hands around her knees, and had taken off her shoes, revealing her smooth little feet.
At this moment, they were gently held in Bai Zhou's hands and lightly massaged.
"Ah... I understand... please stop demonstrating..."
Ling Luochen shivered with fright, wanting to pull back her little feet, but due to the limited space, she couldn't move them much and they were still gently held by Bai Zhou.
This was the first time in her life she had her feet massaged by someone of the opposite sex.
That strange feeling, tingly and numb, spread throughout her body like an electric current, making her feel inexplicably comfortable, but also subconsciously wanting to escape...
"Mm, anyway, it's pretty much like this~"
Bai Zhou didn't go too far, stopping after a brief taste.
The hug just now was a test, and holding her little feet was the second test.
Seeing Ling Luochen's reaction, Bai Zhou was very satisfied, feeling that his extreme ice pill hadn't been wasted after all, and had definitely increased her favorability significantly.
"You... you're really a little rascal..."
Ling Luochen said softly with a blush.
At this moment, she finally understood. It was Ma Xiaotao who had proactively seduced Bai Zhou, but the way Ma Xiaotao was now, it was very likely she had been 'broken' by Bai Zhou...
