Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 84 The Tears of the Moon Goddess

"This is?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the Ice and Snow Love bracelet on her wrist and asked.

"This is a level nine defensive storage soul tool that my father specially commissioned from the Sun Moon Empire's top level nine soul master when he was pursuing my mother. It's called 'Love of Ice and Snow,' and it was a token of love between my parents," Dugu Han explained.

"A level nine soul tool as a token of love?"

Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Are all your big families this arrogant?"

"How could that be? Only my father would be willing to do that."

"So, are you giving this to me?"

Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth, looking at Dugu Han with deep emotion.

"Are you moved?" Dugu Han asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded, touched.

A level nine defensive storage soul tool, if placed in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, would be worth a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

"Then let's be moved!"

Dugu Han reached out and took the Ice and Snow Love bracelet off Zhang Lexuan's hand, then put it back on his own.

"?"

Zhang Lexuan asked in bewilderment, "Wasn't it supposed to be given to me?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Dugu Han rolled her eyes at her: "It's enough if you wear it for the sake of it. What would I wear if I actually gave it to you?"

"no……"

The emotion in Zhang Lexuan's eyes quickly turned into disbelief, and she stared dumbfounded at this man who was a complete stranger to her.

What happened to being happy?

What happened to the promise of reliability?

Where's the promised token of love?

So all that touching moment for nothing!

"Why are you being so silly? Look inside the last lead box."

Dugu Han looked at the dumbfounded Zhang Lexuan, picked up the last lead box and shook it.

"My family!"

Zhang Lexuan snatched the lead box away and glared fiercely at the scoundrel through gritted teeth.

She had never seen anyone give a token of love to someone and then take it back from their hand.

"open to take a look!"

Dugu Han smirked and leaned closer, saying, "I feel that the thing that can suppress my aura should be here."

"You bastard, stay away from me!"

Zhang Lexuan reached out and pushed Dugu Han's face away, then rolled her eyes and opened the lead box.

A silver-white crescent-shaped ring was revealed.

Dugu Han stepped forward, took the ring in his hand, and examined it carefully.

The ring is made of a strange metal that is cool to the touch, but it does not have the cold, hard feel that metal usually has. Instead, it has a warm feel to it.

The surface is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, which resemble ancient symbols or flowing nebulae, shimmering faintly in the sunlight streaming through the window.

It is inlaid with a silver-white gem the size of a fingernail, shaped like a silver crescent moon, dotted with points of deep, ethereal light, like a starry night sky surrounding the silver moon, twinkling and leaping from time to time.

At the tip of the moon, a thin layer of frost seemed to be condensed, emitting a cold, eerie glow.

"what!"

Dugu Han looked at the silver moon ring in his hand in surprise. He had just tried to infuse it with his soul power, but it did not form any connection with him like the Ice and Snow Romance.

"I know this."

Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and said, "When I was little, my father told me that this is our family's heirloom ring, called the Tear of the Moon Goddess. Legend has it that it was formed from the tears of the Moon Goddess. I searched for a long time when my father was buried but could not find it."

"Since it's a legacy ring, it must be a storage soul tool!"

Dugu Han examined the Moon Goddess's Tear in his hand and asked in confusion, "But after I infused it with my soul power, I did not sense any storage space."

“I heard my father say that it seems to have started with mental power.”

Zhang Lexuan reminded her, "Try using your mental power!"

"Mental strength!"

Dugu Han tried to use his spiritual power to touch the Moon Goddess's Tear in his hand.

The moment his spiritual power touched the Moon Goddess's Tear, a powerful suction force instantly emanated from it.

However, the suction force did not last long and soon stopped.

At the same time, a huge silver-white space appeared in Dugu Han's mind.

There was a lead box and some ancient books in the space.

Dugu Han took out the lead box along with the ancient book.

The ancient books weren't anything special; they were all catalogs of spirit beasts from various gathering places, as well as the routes and cultivation methods for Zhang Lexuan's family's martial spirit to obtain spirit rings.

“These ancient books contain your family’s heritage; you can take a look at them when you have some free time.”

Dugu Han handed the ancient book to Zhang Lexuan, and then opened the lead box.

Inside the lead box was a head bone from the 100,000-year-old Illusion Moon Butterfly King.

"One hundred thousand year soul bone!"

Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The strongest person in her family was her father, a Soul Saint. Going back three generations, the strongest was only a Soul Douluo.

However, how could a family whose strongest Soul Master in a century is a Soul Douluo possibly possess a head Soul Bone that is 100,000 years old?

Dugu Han closed the lead box and handed it to Zhang Lexuan, saying, "Absorb it when you get back."

Zhang Lexuan took the lead box, her expression somewhat complicated.

How could a family whose highest cultivation level in the past hundred years was only Soul Douluo possibly obtain a 100,000-year-old soul bone, especially one from the 100,000-year-old Illusion Moon Butterfly Queen, which is related to their family's martial soul?

This was clearly not obtained by chance, but rather through deliberate hunting.

But how could a family whose highest cultivation level in the past hundred years was only Soul Douluo be able to hunt down a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?

Dugu Han also realized this and pondered, "Your family has records of when it was founded?"

"One hundred years ago!"

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and looked at Dugu Han with a complicated expression, saying, "I know what you want to say. I'm also starting to suspect whether my family really has connections with the Sun Moon Empire, but Dugu Han, please promise me you won't investigate, okay?"

"Alright!" Dugu Han smiled gently, "I promise you, we'll pretend this never happened."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Lexuan explained, "My family was wiped out long ago, and the great revenge has already been taken. I don't want to be so tired anymore!"

"I won't be so tired anymore!"

Dugu Han smiled and took her hand in his, then examined the Moon Goddess's Tear on her hand for a moment before asking, "Can you still feel that aura emanating from me?"

"I can't feel it!"

After carefully sensing it, Zhang Lexuan shook her head.

Dugu Han put down the Moon Goddess's Tear, then walked a little further away and asked, "And now?"

"I still can't sense it." Zhang Lexuan continued to shake her head.

Dugu Han walked a little further away, exited the study, and asked, "And now?"

"I can sense it!"

After sensing it for a moment, Zhang Lexuan picked up the Tear of the Moon Goddess and said, "So, it's because of this ring!"

"That should be it!"

Dugu Han returned, looking at the Moon Goddess's Tear in Zhang Lexuan's hand with great confusion.

What grade of storage ring requires mental energy to open?
Moreover, it can suppress the aura emanating from one's own body.

Dugu Han thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head and then turned his gaze to Zhang Lexuan.

A family whose strongest members a hundred years ago were only Soul Douluos possessed not only two top-quality 50,000-year-old inherited soul bones, but also a 100,000-year-old head soul bone, as well as a storage ring that required mental power to open.

That's ridiculous.

Could this family be spies sent by the Sun Moon Empire?

"I have a feeling you're up to no good?" Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han suspiciously.

"Nothing!"

Dugu Han smiled, then reached out and took the Moon Goddess's Tear.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately took a step back while holding the Tear of the Moon Goddess.

“This will work for me!” Dugu Han explained.

"I know, but I have to trade that for it."

Zhang Lexuan fixed her gaze on the Ice and Snow Romance ring on Dugu Han's hand and said with a smile, "Although we don't know the grade of our family's inheritance ring, just the fact that it requires mental power to open makes it no less valuable than the Ice and Snow Romance ring on your hand. You won't lose out by exchanging it."

Dugu Han glanced at the Ice and Snow Romance in his hand and chuckled, "You want it that much?"

"I'll add this 100,000-year-old head bone."

Zhang Lexuan held up the lead box in her hand and asked, "Will you exchange it or not?"

"Change, I'll change!"

Dugu Han chuckled and took out the various immortal herb essences from the Ice and Snow Romance, the family heirloom, the 50,000-year-old soul bone, and other important items from his hand.

Only then did she remove the Ice and Snow Romance dress, and then lamented to herself, "It's all because I'm too charming; some people just can't wait to become my Dugu family's daughter-in-law!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhang Lexuan blushed, glared at Dugu Han with wide eyes, and then stretched out her hand, indicating that he should put it on her.

Dugu Han smiled and put it on her.

After putting it on, Zhang Lexuan held her hand up to the sunlight to examine it, then looked at Dugu Han and said, "If you take it off again, you're a dog!"

Dugu Han: "..."

"for you!"

Zhang Lexuan kept her promise and handed the Moon Goddess's Tear along with the lead box containing the 100,000-year-old head bone to Dugu Han.

Dugu Han took the Moon Goddess's Tear, then pushed the lead box forward, saying, "This soul bone comes from the soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Illusion Moon Butterfly Queen. It is most suitable for you to absorb it."

"Row!"

Zhang Lexuan didn't stand on ceremony any longer and directly put the lead box into the Ice and Snow Love, planning to absorb it after returning to the far north, along with the two 50,000-year-old soul bones.

Then she noticed the ground covered with the essence of immortal herbs that had been there for millennia.

Sensing the immense energy within the millennia-old essence of those immortal herbs, he exclaimed in surprise, "What are these?"

"The essence of immortal herbs accumulated over ten thousand years."

Dugu Han put the Moon Goddess's Tear on his hand, then picked up a Silver Frost Moon Spirit Marrow and handed it to Zhang Lexuan, saying, "This is the Silver Frost Moon Spirit Marrow. After you eat it, you can further improve your aptitude and evolve your martial soul."

"Evolved Martial Soul?"

Zhang Lexuan took the Silver Frost Moon Spirit Marrow and exclaimed in shock, "So this is what you ate when you evolved your Martial Soul?"

"What I ate was the Frost Dew!"

Dugu Han explained, "It's similar to yours, but much more effective."

After saying that, he laughed and said, "This is my betrothal gift to you. It will be too late to back out after you've eaten it!"

"Just don't go back on your word about something this valuable!"

Zhang Lexuan happily put it away, then looked at a piece of blazing glue with a strong fire attribute aura on the ground, pondered for a moment and said, "If it can evolve a martial soul, I feel that the fire attribute essence is useful to Xiao Tao. You can use it to exchange with the academy for a 100,000-year soul bone."

"I'm going to switch to Dragon Pills."

"Dragon Pill?"

Zhang Lexuan was somewhat puzzled.

"It is formed from the essence of a giant dragon..."

As Dugu Han explained, he collected the essence of the immortal herbs and his family's ancient books, among other valuables, into the Moon Goddess's Tears.

"I didn't expect Elder Mu to possess such a treasure. It is indeed much better than a 100,000-year-old soul bone, but..."

Zhang Lexuan pondered for a moment and said, "How do you plan to take it out? How do you explain the origin of this treasure?"

"Yang gives rise to Yin, and Yin gives rise to Yang!"

Dugu Han pondered, "In the coldest place in the far north, the most fiery essence was born. Do you think that makes sense?"

“It doesn’t make much sense, but Elder Mu is your teacher. As long as he doesn’t reveal it to others, this explanation is acceptable,” Zhang Lexuan pondered.

"Don't worry, the old man won't tell anyone. He's a good teacher."

Dugu Han trusted Elder Mu very much.

Although he has flaws, they do not overshadow his merits.

He can be considered a gentleman!
