Chapter 13: Master is years old, but still a virgin
His fingers slowly left Su Yu's brows, but a hint of blue appeared at his fingertips.

This bit of blue was like a pearl jumping out of a clam shell on the seabed. It was brought out of Su Yumei's heart by Qin Shimiao's power, and it was sparkling with crystal light in the air.

Qin Shimiao slowly withdrew his fingers, and the dark blue light that flashed from Su Yumei's heart, like a firefly with self-awareness, slowly flew towards the wilderness ahead.

The black cat on his shoulder stared at the faint blue light without blinking.

"This is your life soul bead, condensed by your soul lamp and guided out by me. I will pour the life soul bead into the object, and the object will become your life object!"

Qin Shimiao sighed softly, his eyes flickering with excitement and admiration:

"Follow it and find your destiny!"

The dark blue soul bead was flying slowly in front, like a dandelion drifting in the wind, with no purpose or direction at all.

Su Yu followed slowly behind, his eyes never leaving the Soul Orb.

A grasshopper jumped in the grass, and seemed to have discovered the soul bead. It jumped up and flapped its wings, chirping clearly.

After a while, another rabbit jumped between the stones in front.

But the soul beads did not stop.

Su Yu's mood also fluctuated wildly with the flight of the soul bead and the living creatures that appeared before him.

Of course, he hoped that his soul bead could find an excellent spiritual object.

According to Qin Shimiao, the Soul Orb will search for the demon painter's life object on its own, and once it finds it, it will be infused into it.

The demon painter's natal object can be a stone, a rotten wood, a bug, a chicken or a cat.

The nature of the destiny object also represents the upper limit of the demon painter.

Because the demon painter is practicing painting souls, the natal objects are usually best to be something with spiritual energy, and there are basically no ferocious beasts like lions and tigers.

If his zodiac sign is a dead object like a stone or rotten wood, it means that it will be difficult for him to make a big breakthrough in his spiritual practice, and he can only sigh in despair for the realm of transformation all his life.

For example, Qin Shimiao’s zodiac animal is a black cat.

Not only do cats have nine lives, they can also see through yin and yang, and have the power to steal souls and resurrect corpses.

So even though Qin Shimiao's life item looks insignificant, it actually has a very high upper limit, which is why he was able to be promoted to a fifth-rank demon painter when he was less than forty years old.

But the Soul Orb kept floating in the air, as if it had not found its target at all.

After a while, it flew away from the grass and came to an area with piles of rocks and bushes.

Qin Shimiao's brows suddenly frowned.

The environment that the Soul Orb is looking for seems to be somehow connected to the fate of the demon painter.

If the environment where the Soul Orb goes is a flat and peaceful wilderness, it means that although the fate of the demon painter is ordinary, his life will be smooth and will not have too much bad luck.

But if the place where the Soul Orb flew to is full of rocks like here, it may mean that the life of the demon painter may be destined to be full of ups and downs!

At this moment, a small white figure suddenly jumped out from the rocks in front.

The figure was covered in snow and had a very agile posture, it was actually a little white fox!
As if sensing the appearance of the little fox, the Soul Orb suddenly accelerated and flew into the space between the little fox's eyes like a meteor.

At the same time as the soul bead flew into the fox's head, Su Yu felt a loud explosion in his head.

The white fox suddenly stopped where it was, as if it had been electrocuted, and looked at Su Yu with its pair of dark eyes.

There seemed to be some invisible electric current generated between the two of them, causing both of them to stand there and stare at each other without moving.

It seemed that in an instant, this little creature seemed to have some kind of connection with Su Yu. It worked!

When Qin Shimiao saw that Su Yu had found the life-orientating item, he felt both happy and worried.

Foxes are naturally spiritual creatures, and are even higher in status than raccoons and the like as life-giving creatures!

Yellow beards, willows, white and gray cats, dogs, sheep, etc. can all become the spirit objects of the demon painter. For example, Mr. Sun, a relative of Sun Dasheng, has an old goat as his spirit object.

But foxes as a zodiac animal are extremely rare.

Since foxes are intelligent creatures, there are many foxes among the monsters in this world, and ordinary monster painters often find it difficult to control them.

The life-saving objects are the means for the demon painter to practice and preserve his life. If they cannot be controlled by him, some very bad consequences will occur.

Some people may even be occupied by it, have their minds controlled, and eventually become monsters.

Therefore, when Qin Shimiao saw that Su Yu’s natal creature was actually a fox, he felt mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

After Su Yu and the white fox looked at each other briefly, he extended a hand to the little thing.

The white fox looked at Su Yu with its pair of dark, smart eyes, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly walked over, and then jumped into Su Yu's arms with a bounce of its four legs.

Su Yu gently stroked the white fox and felt that its white fur was fluffy and soft, and very comfortable to touch.

When Su Yu stroked its fur, the white fox was surprisingly docile, as if because of the infusion of the Soul Bead, it had no fear of Su Yu at all.

Looking at its two watery, black eyes, Su Yu felt delighted.

I didn't expect that my life animal is actually a fox. Let alone practicing, it would be quite interesting to just raise a little fox for fun!

I just don't know if this thing is male or female.

Qin Shimiao took a deep look at the white fox in Su Yu's hand, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"From now on, every time you light a soul lamp, the white fox will have one more life! And every time it has one more life, it can help you ward off a disaster!"

"Feeding it more spiritual creatures on a daily basis can also speed up its growth and feed back to you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the city wall.

But after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and said without looking back while standing still:
"Remember, you must not lose your virginity before lighting up the six soul lamps!"

Su Yu was slightly startled.

Does the demon painter have such restrictions?
It seems that listening to music in a brothel is just about listening to music!
He looked at Qin Shimiao's back and suddenly had a question:
"Master, how many soul lamps have you lit now?"

Qin Shimiao paused, his face somewhat gloomy in the night:

"Five!"

Su Yu couldn't help but think in his heart, Wow, it turns out that the master is still a virgin!
One cannot lose one's virginity unless all six soul lamps are lit. Now Qin Shimiao is almost forty years old and has only lit five. Does that mean I have to remain a virgin for the rest of my life like him?

He suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship!

Qin Shimiao turned around and glanced at Su Yu:
"When the essence is full, one does not think about sex; when the energy is full, one does not think about food; when the spirit is full, one does not think about sleep. In fact, being alone... is also quite good!"

Su Yu glanced at the thin Qin Shimiao.

Are these really what you really think, Master?

There is no woman in your heart, so you draw your sword to the God of Nature?
You really turned the traditional craft into petting cats!
He looked down at the white fox in his arms.

It seems that this guy is the only one who can accompany me from now on!
