"Huh?"
After the explosion, Su Bai found a soul bone at the location where the Evil Spirit Orca King was defeated.
This was an unexpected delight.
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone was a rare treasure, hard to come by.
As for the soul ring, no one needed it.
So, they didn't feel it was a loss.
"Dad, you're amazing!"
At this moment, Su Renxue and the other women approached Su Bai.
Su Renxue, with an expression full of admiration, said, "You defeated a hundred-thousand-year soul beast so easily, that's incredible!"
The person Su Renxue admired the most had always been her father, Su Bai.
Her second most admired person was her mother, Bibi Dong.
Seeing Su Bai demonstrate such power made her feel extremely proud.
He had caused the Evil Spirit Orca King to self-destruct without even making a move.
Moreover, he had protected them during the explosion.
The self-destruction of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast like the Evil Spirit Orca King was tremendously powerful.
If it weren't for Su Bai shielding them, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
"Hey, Dad, is that a... soul bone?"
Su Renxue noticed the soul bone in Su Bai's hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Su Bai nodded and smiled, "Indeed, this is the soul bone from the Evil Spirit Orca King."
Su Renxue's eyes lit up as she stared at the soul bone.
Understanding her gaze, Su Bai handed the soul bone to his daughter and said, "Xue'er, this soul bone is very good. It's yours."
"Really?"
Despite her words, Su Renxue accepted the soul bone without hesitation.
If the situation were different, she might have absorbed it right then and there.
After all, she knew her father's women were numerous.
If any of them asked for it, she might not get the chance.
Watching his daughter's eager action, Su Bai couldn't help but laugh.
Was she afraid he'd change his mind?
He wasn't that kind of person!
He loved his daughter dearly and would always save the best for her.
In fact, Su Renxue's guess wasn't entirely wrong.
The other women also wanted the hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
Not to mention Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, and Hu Liena all desired it.
But since Su Renxue had already claimed it, they could only look on with envy.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Su Renxue stored the soul bone safely and kissed Su Bai's cheek.
Su Bai smiled and shook his head.
A father giving gifts to his daughter never required thanks.
Seeing everyone gathering around, Su Bai asked, "Have you all completed your trials?"
Everyone nodded.
Su Bai thought for a moment. It made sense.
After all, with the Evil Spirit Orca clan exterminated, the divine trials must have been completed too.
Xiao Bai, on the other hand, stared at Su Bai's back in a daze.
Thanks to Su Bai, she had finally avenged her brother.
She had fulfilled her long-cherished wish.
Without Su Bai, she might never have avenged him in her lifetime.
She was immensely grateful to Su Bai.
Moreover, in the world of soul beasts, the strong were revered.
Seeing Su Bai's strength and knowing that he had avenged her brother, Xiao Bai felt a deep admiration for him.
Most importantly,
because Su Bai and his women participated in the divine trial, they helped her clan eliminate the Evil Spirit Orcas.
And because Xiao Wu and the others were so strong,
during this battle, almost all the Evil Spirit Orcas were dealt with by them.
Her clan hadn't lost a single member.
This was what excited Xiao Bai the most.
From today onwards, her Demon Soul Great White Shark clan no longer had a natural enemy.
Even without the Sea God's protection, she no longer had to worry.
As Su Bai withdrew his soul power, the frozen sea returned to its original state.
Xiao Bai swam towards Su Bai.
She bowed her massive head and sincerely said, "Sir, thank you for helping my Demon Soul Great White Shark clan eliminate the Evil Spirit Orca clan. We are deeply grateful."
Before Su Bai could respond, Su Renxue waved and said, "Xiao Bai, there's no need for that. For my dad, this was a small matter, and besides, it was part of the divine trial."
Su Bai twitched his mouth.
This little cotton jacket seemed to have a hole in it!
He could have earned a beauty's gratitude, but then you had to go and say that?
Are you trying to sabotage your own dad?
I even had good things I wanted to save for you.
Su Bai grumbled internally.
Xiao Bai shook her head and said, "It's different. Even though it was a divine trial, our clan still benefited."
She was right.
Although it was a divine trial that Su Bai and his group couldn't refuse,
they could have taken it easy.
For example, during the battle between the two clans, they could have just watched.
And only after the two sides were exhausted would Su Bai and the others intervene.
That would have saved a lot of effort.
After all, Su Bai's trial was just to help eliminate the Evil Spirit Orca clan.
There was no strict requirement on casualties.
Even if her entire clan was wiped out, as long as she survived, it wouldn't have affected Su Bai and his group.
But they still helped actively.
Almost without needing her clan to fight, the task was completed.
This was a tremendous favor.
So, Xiao Bai's gratitude was warranted.
Hearing this, Su Renxue understood her point and stopped arguing.
She originally wanted to say that since she and Xiao Bai were good friends, her dad was also like a dad to Xiao Bai.
Hence, there was no need for such formalities.
But Xiao Bai had clearly thought it through more deeply.
Su Renxue pouted and didn't bother explaining further.
As long as Xiao Bai was happy.
But...
Su Renxue looked at Xiao Bai in a daze.
She felt that Xiao Bai's gaze towards her father was unusual.
She was no longer a child and could recognize that look.
It seemed Xiao Bai had also fallen for her dad.
No wonder. Her dad was so outstanding, which woman wouldn't be moved?
Su Renxue thought it was only natural.
At this moment,
a Demon Soul Great White Shark swam towards Xiao Bai.
In its mouth, it held another soul bone.
Seeing this,
Xiao Bai handed the soul bone to Su Bai and said, "This is from the Evil Spirit Orcas that were killed earlier. It's for you, sir."
Su Bai nodded.
After examining it, he found it to be a ten-thousand-year left leg bone.
Quite a good find.
After some thought, Su Bai handed the soul bone to Hu Liena, "Nana, this soul bone suits you. You should absorb it."
"Thank you, Brother Bai."
Hu Liena accepted the soul bone, then hugged Su Bai's neck and kissed him.
Feeling a surge of desire, Su Bai whispered in her ear, "Tonight, clean up and wait for me in the room."
"Okay."
Hu Liena winked seductively at Su Bai.
Ning Rongrong walked over, dissatisfied, "Hmph, Brother Bai is biased. Everyone else has soul bones except me."
Su Bai chuckled and said, "This soul bone isn't suitable for you. When I find one that suits you, I'll save it for you first, okay?"
"That's more like it."
Thus,
the group rode on Xiao Bai's back, heading back to Sea God Island.
Everyone had completed their trials and received their rewards.
Su Bai's reward was another 15% Sea God affinity, bringing his total to 60%.
As for the others, their soul power levels each increased by one.
The women were very satisfied.
