However, since the Ice Abyss Sword cannot speak, Lu Jun naturally wouldn't consider such trivial details.

He held the ice block and used his soul power to shape and infuse it with energy, quickly molding it into an ice-blue rhomboid crystal about the size of a thumbnail, with what appeared to be frozen starlight inside.

Countless fine and mysterious natural patterns have formed on the surface of the crystal.

Lu Jun handed the rhombus-shaped crystal, which emanated a rich, primal chill, to Di Yue and explained:

"You can try to embed or fuse this into the energy core of your level 10 soul tool spear."

"It can greatly improve the energy conduction efficiency and stability of your spear, and endow it with a trace of the ultimate ice attribute law."

"After that, you just need to continue to nurture it with your own soul power, mental power, and blood power, so that its power can be completely integrated with your spear."

"Given time, there is a great chance that your spear will break through the limits of mortal weapons and be promoted to the level of divine weapons, or even higher."

He smiled and looked at Di Yue, asking:
"So, how's this gift? Not bad, right?"

Di Yue took the ice-blue rhombus-shaped crystal and felt the purer and more powerful power contained within it, which was of the same origin as Lu Jun's, as well as the infinite potential to lead to the realm of divine artifacts. Her crimson eyes burst with surprise.

But she said the opposite, a sweet smile blooming on her face, and hugged Lu Jun tightly, rubbing her cheek against his chest:

"Thank you~ Actually, I don't really care what you give me, I just wanted to experience the feeling of receiving a gift from you~"

"Hehe, Lu Jun, you're the best~"

As she spoke, seemingly to express her inner joy, she quickly and happily gave Lu Jun a kiss on the cheek, leaving a fragrant mark.

Standing behind Lu Jun, Wu Siduo watched as Di Yue also kissed Lu Jun. Although she understood that this was more out of joy and gratitude between friends, she still couldn't help but feel a little sour. She unconsciously puffed out her cheeks like a kitten guarding its food.

That guy Lu Jun...

She muttered to herself.

She really is... quite popular with the opposite sex.

This realization made her feel a little jealous, but it also strengthened her resolve to improve herself and stand firmly by his side.

"correct!"

Di Yue seemed to suddenly remember something important, and then she released her embrace from Lu Jun and took a small step back.

She tilted her head slightly, her red eyes sparkling with seriousness, and her fair fingers gently tapped her chin, revealing an adorable look of deep thought.

"You gave me such a precious gift, so according to etiquette, I should reciprocate with a proper gift..." she muttered softly, her brows furrowing slightly. "But what should I give you to truly help you... You seem to lack nothing."

Looking at her earnest and thoughtful expression, Lu Jun couldn't help but smile. He reached out again and gently ruffled her long, radiant golden hair, his tone both comforting and earnest:
"Silly girl, don't worry about this. You don't need to give me anything in return."

"As long as you stay safe and happy, that's the greatest help and support you can give me..."

He wasn't just being polite; he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

As an imperial auspicious beast, Di Yue's special status makes it easy for it to attract covetousness.

Especially that mysterious and unpredictable goddess of beauty, whose intentions are unclear, but who is clearly paying special attention to Di Yue.

Although it is unclear what exactly the goddess of beauty wants from Di Yue, Lu Jun's principles of conduct are very simple.

The more the enemy desires something, the more he must protect it.

The more the enemy fears him doing something, the more he will do it. Protecting Di Yue's safety is undoubtedly the top priority at present.

"All right……"

Upon hearing this, Di Yue puffed out her cheeks in disappointment, looking like a wronged little hamster, which was extremely cute.

But deep down, an indescribable sense of frustration welled up inside her.

As expected... I'm still too weak. I can't help Lu Jun at all... I can only be the one being protected...

This feeling of powerlessness saddened her, and she wondered if she would ever have the chance to become a supportive partner standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Just then, two stunningly beautiful figures, each carrying a distinctly different chill, appeared silently behind Lu Jun like ice and snow sprites.

One of the figures, the petite and seemingly innocent-looking Hyotei, appeared on the left. With a bright and affectionate smile on her face, she suddenly hugged Lu Jun from behind without any warning.

Her slender arms wrapped around his waist, her pretty face nestled affectionately against his shoulder, and she asked in a coquettish tone:

"Have you missed us, Mr. Lu?"

"By the way, we sensed that you seemed a bit down. Has something difficult happened?"

Her perception was sharp, and she directly stated her purpose.

The other figure on the right was tall and aloof, with an ethereal temperament like a snow lotus; it was none other than the Snow Emperor.

She stood slightly to the side, her voice clear and filled with concern:

"If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us."

"Since we are your spirits, we should face this together with you and do our best to help you."

Between the soul and the host, there exists a spiritual link that transcends words, allowing them to perceive each other's intense emotional fluctuations to a certain extent.

They clearly sensed the heavy feeling Lu Jun was experiencing as he pondered the future situation, the threat posed by the Goddess of Beauty, and how to protect those around him, and thus rushed over together immediately.

"Ah, it's you guys."

Lu Jun felt a warm glow in his heart as he sensed the cool touch and dependence emanating from Hyotei behind him. He turned his head, smiled at them, and explained:

"There's nothing particularly difficult, it's just... I'm a little worried about whether the next plan will go smoothly, and I'm concerned that unexpected changes might occur that could affect everyone."

He didn't say it explicitly, but his concern was evident.

"What's there to worry about!"

Hyotei immediately raised her head, puffed out her chest—which, while not particularly impressive, was full of confidence—and gave a "I've got this covered" look, speaking with a bold tone.

"If we all work together and put our hearts into it, what problem can't we overcome when we join forces?"

"Even a god would have to think twice before acting!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her bright eyes darted around and caught sight of Wu Siduo standing to the side, carefully and with a cherished expression, preparing to clip a delicate ice-blue hair clip into her hair.

At the same time, she also saw that Di Yue was holding a piece of ice-blue rhomboid crystal, seemingly studying how to embed it into the dazzling golden spear. (End of Chapter)
