Chapter Ninety-Eight: I Am a Genius
As soon as she heard that Hu Lin was a puppeteer, Kong Xueyao circled around him with a curious expression, as if she were a cheerful little cloud.
Swept by the little thing with the same gaze as a monkey, Hu Lin felt a little uncomfortable, grabbed it and said, "Isn't it strange that I'm a puppeteer? You don't need to look at me like a monkey in the zoo, do you?"
This time, Kong Xueyao didn't struggle, but rubbed her chin with her fat little hand, and said with a puzzled expression, "The strength of soul power is indeed like a puppeteer, but this image is ...... Generally, the most powerful puppeteers are unkempt and sloppy, but you look like a little white face! Xiao Yao looks at you and thinks that you are an unreliable puppeteer!" The little guy said such words in a serious tone, and both Yuan Jing and the little fox were amused at once.
After Hu Lin, who was the person concerned, heard these words, his forehead was crawling with black lines, and he said with a depressed face, "Is the puppeteer this virtue in the eyes of your soul clan? Also, how do you know how strong my soul power is?" After speaking, he let go of her.
Kong Xueyao floated back into the air, and said proudly, "Our soul clan has a strong soul power when it was born, unlike you humans who have to cultivate hard...... I don't believe you're a puppeteer anyway!" she twisted her little head to the side.
"Young Master Ben is an out-and-out puppeteer, as for the craftsmanship, I can't be the boastful old king, how about you look at this?" After speaking, he put the puppet made in the shape of a little bastard on the table.
After Xiao Yao, who was half-covered in the clouds, saw it, little stars appeared in her eyes, but they were extinguished in an instant, and the little eyes full of suspicion began to turn between Hu Lin and the puppet again. Seeing this, Hu Lin stretched out his hand and asked her to observe it carefully, in fact, he himself didn't know how to judge the puppet by this little thing in front of him.
After Xiao Yao saw Hu Lin's gesture, her big smart eyes turned white, and then she turned around and crashed into the puppet. Hu Lin wanted to stretch out his hand to stop him, but he was stopped by Yuan Jing and the little fox. The imaginary collision did not happen, but the moment the little guy touched the puppet, it suddenly became transparent, and he got into it at once.
Under Hu Lin's surprised gaze, the handsome little bastard puppet suddenly grew up slowly, and did not stop until it was more than two meters long, directly crushing the table under him. Not only did the puppet grow bigger, but even its originally dim eyes were filled with azure light.
Just as the two and one beast grew their mouths in surprise, the puppet suddenly spat out and said, "Hmm...... Although the material selection of this puppet is a bit weird, it does have good defense when matched. Although it doesn't have any special abilities, it seems to be a shell now, and there should be room for improvement......" As soon as the words fell, the little guy with half a cloud floated out of the puppet and returned to his solid and cute appearance.
The little fox ran to the bottom of Xiao Yao, raised his head and said, "What does Xiao Yao think, the young master's craftsmanship is not as bad as you think, right?"
Originally, Hu Lin was very happy to hear the little guy's evaluation, but when he heard the little fox's words, he pouted and said, "Stinky girl, how do you belittle your own young master?" Unexpectedly, the little fox not only did not apologize when he heard this, but looked at him with an unconvinced face, and his expression was like saying, "I didn't say anything wrong, why are you so fierce!"
Just as the little fox and Hu Lin looked at each other, Xiao Yao, who was floating in the air, suddenly said, "Hey, that human stinky boy! You can make a puppet for me just like Sister Mei'er grew up, remember not to cut corners!"
Hearing this, Hu Lin's nose was almost crooked, but the little guy finally agreed to his proposal, so that it would not attract the attention of the other people on the ship, so he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. How can it be said that Kong Xueyao is also the same clan as his mother, and he may still be related to him, but Hu Lin has a feeling of provoking a little ancestor in his heart. Looking at Hu Lin's sullen face, it made Yuan Jing laugh for a while.
Only then did the little guy who floated into the air notice her, and said with a strange expression, "This human girl, your soul power is so strong, is you also a puppeteer?
Yuan Jing felt that this little guy was very cute, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yao thinks too much, I'm just an ordinary array mage, so my soul power is higher than that of ordinary people......" After speaking, she peeked at Hu Lin with her eyes and found that he was burying his head in making a puppet, so she gently patted her chest.
Xiao Yao nodded, and said, "Oh, my sister is a formation mage, Xiao Yao also happens to like to study formations, let's have a good chat, okay? Don't bother with that stinky boy!" After speaking, he quickly floated towards Yuan Jing, and the previous vigilant color disappeared in an instant.
When Hu Lin heard her call herself a stinky boy again, he quickly raised his head and said, "Xiao Yao! Young Master Ben's name is Hu Lin, don't always call me a stinky boy!"
Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't pay attention to him at all, and chatted directly with Yuan Jing, and even the little fox joined in, leaving him alone. Shaking his head helplessly, Hu Lin continued to work on his hands. Although the work in his hand was a little aggrieved, Hu Lin did not cut corners, and also took out the little Starfall Divine Wood left in his hand. In this way, after nearly three days of hard work in his cabin, a puppet in the shape of a nine-tailed fox appeared in front of Hu Lin.
Xiao Yao is now familiar with Yuan Jing and the two of them, and she screamed one sister after another, and when she saw the nine-tailed fox puppet, she got into it without saying a word, and said excitedly, "Wow~ The two sisters look good now, don't you?"
Hu Lin made the nine-tailed fox too realistic, and the little fox ignored the answer, and looked at it with an obsessive face. Although she had seen a statue of a nine-tailed fox in the clan, it was the first time she had seen such a moving fox in front of her.
Yuan Jing was also attracted by the beauty of the nine-tailed fox, but quickly came to her senses and said, "Xiao Yao looks so beautiful now!
Xiao Yao controlled the nine-tailed fox, rubbed Yuan Jing's calf flatteringly, turned back to Hu Lin and said with a smile, "Then according to Sister Jing's meaning, thank you Brother Lin!"
Hu Lin couldn't help but purse his lips when he heard this, and turned his head directly, he really didn't want to pay attention to this little guy. This nine-tailed fox puppet was made by him with a lot of effort, not only was it equipped with weapons on its limbs and mouth, but even there was space for loading weapons on its nine tails, but he didn't know what method Xiao Yao used to attack, so he didn't directly load the weapon. After three days of busy work, he only got it, and with a thank you from Yuan Jing, he was really a coolie in vain.
"Wow~ Xiao Yao, what are these little clouds under your feet? How can you fly with a puppet?" The little fox screamed, pulling Hu Lin out of his sulking state completely.
When she looked up, the puppet under Xiao Yao's control was only the same size as Mei'er, and it seemed that she did it deliberately. However, what is incredible is that this nine-tailed fox is being supported by a white cloud the size of a chair, floating in the air.
I saw that Xiao Jiuwei raised his head arrogantly, and Xiao Yao's immature voice came out of his mouth, "Hehe~ Sister Mei'er, this cloud is called Piao Piaoyun, and it is a specialty of our Demon Soul Continent! I am not used to this puppet body, otherwise I wouldn't be so crooked......"
Hu Lin suddenly covered the little fox's mouth, which was about to speak, and said anxiously, "Xiao Yao!
Xiao Yao seemed to be frightened by his anxious appearance, and suddenly floated behind Yuan Jing, and said with a vigilant face, "What are you doing?
When Hu Lin heard her say this, he said with an embarrassed face, "Xiao Yao, don't misunderstand...... You see, in order to make a puppet for you, I even took out the precious Starfall Divine Tree! I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want to study the cloud under your feet......"
"It turns out that this puppet is made of Starfall Divine Wood, no wonder it is so easy to control......"
Just as Xiao Yao was talking to herself, Yuan Jing hugged her, and it was strange that the clouds were floating in the air like that. Yuan Jing was slightly surprised, and said softly to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao...... Brother Ringo has your soul clan blood in his veins, you shouldn't be wary of him anymore......"
Little Nine-Tails nodded seriously, and said to Hu Lin, "I still have three fluttering clouds here, for the sake of you making a puppet for me, all of them are for you! With the strength of your and Sister Jing's void soul power, it will only be controlled for a few minutes at most......" After speaking, Xiao Yao spit out three fluttering clouds from the mouth of the Nine Tails and pushed them in front of Hu Lin.
Hu Lin saw the three clouds floating over, it was like seeing a peerless beauty, where would he care about what Xiao Yao said, and hurriedly said with a charming smile, "Thank you Xiao Yao, big beauty! Huh, how is this one golden, is there anything special about it?"
Xiao Yao couldn't help but despise Hu Lin's obsession with clouds, and said, "Although almost every member of the clan is in their infancy, these fluttering clouds are obtained by me from the netherworld abyss. The one under my feet is my favorite, and although I also like the golden fluttering clouds you said, I can't control it at all with my current soul power cultivation......" Speaking of this, Xiao Yao finally remembered that she had sneaked out behind her father's back to get it, and if she kept bringing it to her body, she would definitely be discovered by him. Now that it has been given to Hu Lin, it just so happens that this evidence has been destroyed, so there is no trace of distress in his eyes at all, but it is a lot easier.
It seems that Xiao Yao doesn't know much about this fluttering cloud, so Hu Lin simply holds one and studies it by himself. First of all, he injected soul power into the clouds, and found that it really needed to consume a huge amount of soul power to control it. After trying hard for a long time, it only made Yun Cai turn over a few times lazily, but it was just such a few simple movements, and sweat oozed from Hu Lin's forehead.
Gently wiping his forehead, Hu Lin thought helplessly, "Could it be that this thing can only be used by the soul clan? How powerful soul power does it take to control such a large fluttering cloud?"
It was Hulin's usual style to think of it, and he began to try different ways to divide the clouds. This fluttering cloud looked like a cloud, but it couldn't be separated by slashing with a knife, slashing with a palm, devouring true power cutting, etc., and Hu Lin couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The only way he could think of now was to use his soul power, so he began to work hard to gather his soul power, trying to turn it into a sharp blade.
After continuous efforts, he finally did it, and a fluttering cloud the size of a half-palm was successfully divided. Hu Lin slowly injected soul power into this cloud, and he found that the feeling of soul power mud cow entering the sea just now did not appear. And he also controlled this small piece of fluttering clouds, successfully removing Yuan Jing from the ground.
"Hahaha...... I'm a genius!"
