Finally, there was movement from the wooden house behind him, and the door opened with a creaking sound.

Dugu Yan had changed her clothes and walked back to him with her head lowered and her face still slightly red.

"How does it feel?"

Han Li took the initiative to ignore what had just happened and went straight to the point.

"I feel that my physical strength has improved a lot, but I can't really tell what the specific changes are."

Seeing that he avoided the previous oolong incident, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but her cheeks were still a little hot as she answered.

"Give me your hand, I'll help you see exactly how much your spirit ring age has increased." Han Li sat up straight and looked at the girl who seemed like a different person.

"Oh, okay."

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hand, as if she didn't want to show weakness in front of him.

Han Li looked at Dugu Yan with amusement, who was obviously holding on. He stretched out his left hand to grab her wrist, and reached out his right hand to her forearm.

He clearly noticed that when he grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist, her body couldn't help but tremble. It tensed up in an instant, and then slowly relaxed.

He squeezed her hand with his right hand, using his soul power. A rough number flashed through his mind, and he let go of her hand.

"Congratulations, Sister Yan. The age of your third spirit skill has increased by about 450 years. The effect of the increase is quite good. If your subsequent improvements can reach this level, at least in the short term, it should not be a problem for you to absorb a spirit ring of about 4,000 years."

"If you consider that your martial spirit evolves successfully in the future, it shouldn't be a problem for your third spirit ring to reach five thousand years."

Han Li was quite conservative in his estimate of how long it would take for Dugu Yan to have her third soul ring.

"Can it really reach five thousand years?"

After hearing his words, even though Dugu Yan had seen many things that broke her cognition during this period, she still couldn't help but feel excited when such things happened to her.

"After a few days, when you have absorbed the magical herb, you will soon be able to reach the level of Soul Master. Then you can verify it yourself. Is there any need for me to lie to you?" Han Li replied with a helpless smile, but he could understand it.

"Thank you, Xiao Li."

Dugu Yan raised her head and thanked him sincerely, but met Han Li's gaze.

Suddenly, she realized that this scene seemed very familiar, and then she remembered that just an hour and a half ago, she had said the same thing to the boy in front of her.

At that time, she thought of what happened before and her face suddenly turned red again, but she still forced herself to speak: "No, I just want to thank you, and you are not allowed to mention the previous things to others."

"What happened before?" Han Li looked at her in confusion.

"Yes, nothing happened. Nothing happened at all."

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then spoke quickly, but it was obvious that her trembling tone could not even deceive herself.

"That's it? Goodbye?"

Han Li half turned his body and waved his right hand at her.

"you"

Dugu Yan opened her mouth and wanted to call him, but she didn't know what reason to use.

"Don't worry, Sister Yan, I really didn't see anything."

When Han Li reached the edge of the platform, he suddenly turned around and said, then without waiting for Dugu Yan's response, he jumped down with a smile.

"Go away, ahhhhhhh..."

Dugu Yan looked at the empty platform, stunned for a moment, then angrily punched the air in front of him a few times, as if he was hitting someone, then squatted down and buried his head in his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, she herself did not realize that when she was swinging her fist just now, she was no longer so embarrassed and angry. Her mind was full of the slightly presumptuous smile that someone had shown before jumping down.

Just as I got closer, I heard Dugu Bo's laughter. I quickened my pace and took a closer look.

The two of them were in a good mood and actually started playing chess here. Dugu Bo's laughter was heard just now because he had the upper hand. At this moment, Guang Ling still had a dark face and was thinking hard, while Dugu Bo was constantly trying to talk to him and disrupt his train of thought.

Noticing Han Li's arrival, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up and he decisively gave up harassing Guang Ling. He tilted his head and asked, "Is it over? How was the effect? ​​Where's Yan Yan?"

"It's over. Sister Yan absorbed the secret medicine quite well. Just this time, the upper limit of her third spirit ring has increased by about four hundred and fifty years. If she continues a few more times and cooperates with the evolution of her martial soul, she should be able to absorb a five thousand year spirit ring." Han Li replied with a smile.

"As for Sister Yan, she is resting now."

"Come on, Xiao Li, sit down. Thank you for your hard work."

Dugu Bo pulled Han Li to his side, took out a chair, pressed him down on it, and smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on his handsome face.

"It's not hard, it's what I should do."

Han Li thought of what happened before and answered with some lack of confidence.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Guang Ling, who was very familiar with him, could tell that he was not being sincere. He looked up at him but didn't find anything unusual. He then lowered his head again and thought about his next move.

It must be said that Dugu Bo’s chess skills are much better than Guang Ling’s.

Although Han Li couldn't understand the chess game, he could tell something from the fact that Dugu Bo chatted with him while playing chess and made his master look miserable.

In the end, Guang Ling used the excuse that it was time for dinner and he was going to eat, and manually overturned the chessboard, allowing Dugu Bo to finally feel proud.

Happy times are always short. So, Han Li would go to the platform in the morning to help Dugu Yan refine whale glue to strengthen her physique, and in the afternoon, they would practice on their own.

Soon, a week passed.

That morning, after Dugu Yan took whale glue and Han Li tested it, he took the initiative to stop the service.

“Has it reached its limit?”

Dugu Yan also noticed that the improvement this time did not seem to be as great as the previous times, so he asked.

"Well, it has barely reached 4,200 years. Your body has temporarily developed resistance to the secret medicine. Even if you continue to take it in the short term, it won't improve much. So leave it at that. The excess medicinal power is still hidden in your body. Prepare for your martial soul to evolve. It will be released together when the time comes."

Han Li let go of Dugu Yan's hand and said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. When do we start?"

Dugu Yan looked at Han Li with burning eyes, somewhat impatiently.

"Let's take a good rest today and let our body relax. We'll start again tomorrow." Han Li also let out a breath and looked around.

"Why? It seems like you are still reluctant to leave this place."

Dugu Yan came over, nudged him with her shoulder, put her hands on his shoulders, put her head on them, and blew into his ear while speaking.

"Stop it."

Han Li took her hand off her shoulder, patted her arm unhappily, and signaled her to be more obedient.

Since that day, Dugu Yan seemed to have liberated her nature. She became more and more unrestrained in front of him. She changed from being verbally flirtatious to using her hands, and she was not resistant to physical contact with him at all.

Now, she took the opportunity to tease him again.
