God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 518: Chapter 515: Duoduo

Listening to Xiao Tian’s laughing, Lin Bingxuan and the little Artifact Spirit girl beside her, who had no physical form, both felt a chill.

Especially the little girl as the Artifact Spirit, she had a bad feeling that something was about to happen.

”I think calling her just ’Artifact Spirit’ is too awkward and not very friendly,” Xiao Tian suggested. ”How about I give her a name?!”

Lin Bingxuan pondered for a while. Although it seemed a bit strange, what Xiao Tian said made sense. It was indeed time to give the Artifact Spirit a name, so she nodded in agreement.

The little Artifact Spirit girl without a physical form blinked her eyes at Xiao Tian, her face full of anticipation. Her previously bad impression of him had improved a lot. But the next moment...

”Giving a name should hit a few key points. It should sound nice, be easy to remember, and roll off the tongue. Adding some poetic imagery, like romance or dreams, would be even better!”

Lin Bingxuan nodded slowly, thinking that Xiao Tian’s suggestion made a lot of sense. The little girl beside her nodded vigorously in agreement, feeling like she was about to get a beautiful name.

Up until this point, the little girl hadn’t realized Xiao Tian’s wicked intentions and even began to secretly appreciate him, a typical case of being sold and counting money for the person who sold you.

”In that case, how about calling you Dog Egg?!”

Lin Bingxuan: ”...”

Artifact Spirit girl: ”...”

The two, one out in the open and one in secret, were both so shocked by this astonishing name that they couldn’t speak. Was this naming or a personal vendetta?

After a long pause, the little girl finally reacted and protested vehemently, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Seeing the little girl disagree, Xiao Tian considerately said, ”Not satisfied? Then let’s change it!”

Xiao Tian paced around, frowning hard, until he made Lin Bingxuan and the little girl dizzy. Then he slapped his thigh and exclaimed joyfully, ”I got it! This name is guaranteed to satisfy you!”

The little girl once again innocently wore an expectant expression, while Lin Bingxuan frowned, thinking Xiao Tian was going too far...

”Chubby Three, what do you think?!”

Hearing this even more outrageous name, the Artifact Spirit almost cried and quickly sought help from Lin Bingxuan: ”Master, you mustn’t agree to this!”

Xiao Tian pretended to be unhappy and said, ”What’s with your attitude, little girl? I’m kindly naming you, and you pick and choose.”

”It’s just two options, Dog Egg or Chubby Three, pick one yourself!”

The little girl couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears, while Lin Bingxuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Tian. Even if you hold a grudge, you don’t have to tease the little girl to the point of crying!

After much coaxing and comforting, Lin Bingxuan finally stopped the little girl’s crying, though there were still occasional sobs.

Xiao Tian found this quite awkward too, thinking to himself that the Artifact Spirit must have been around for at least a century, right?

How could she not take a joke?

He didn’t realize that the Artifact Spirit had been in a dormant state most of the time, consistently avoiding those bad people who just wanted to use her, so her mentality was naturally not very mature.

Now meeting someone as gentle and kind as Lin Bingxuan, the Artifact Spirit felt very pleased, but had not expected the other half of the master to be such a thorough rogue.

”Apologize already!” Lin Bingxuan pretended to scold fiercely.

Xiao Tian rubbed his head and said with a chuckle, ”Little girl, I’m sorry!”

But the other party wouldn’t accept it: ”Hmph! You’re a bad person, I don’t want to talk to you!”

Tagged as a bad person, Xiao Tian spread his hands, showing that if the other party didn’t accept his apology, there was nothing he could do.

Lin Bingxuan demanded again loudly, ”No laughing! Your expression should be serious, and your attitude sincere!”

Seeing her own master being so considerate and standing up for her, the little girl felt a warmth in her heart.

”Little girl, I’m really sorry!”

In moments clearly meant for Lin Bingxuan to gain favor, Xiao Tian naturally left no stone unturned, speaking while bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle.

Lin Bingxuan understood Xiao Tian’s intention and gazed at him with deep affection.

The little girl looked at Xiao Tian, then at her master, feeling like both their expressions and glances seemed a bit odd, almost as if it had nothing to do with her.

However, since that bad man was, under her master’s request, very sincerely apologizing to her, the little girl was still quite happy.

Moreover, her fondness for Lin Bingxuan skyrocketed!

The matter seemed settled, but the important task of naming still hadn’t reached a conclusion.

This time, the little girl fearfully declined Xiao Tian’s ’kindness’ and directly asked Lin Bingxuan for a name.

Xiao Tian didn’t say anything to tease the little girl again; after all, Lin Bingxuan, as her master, naming her was perfectly reasonable!

Lin Bingxuan considered for a while and said, ”We’ll call you Duoduo, how about that?!”

Having experienced the baptism of Dog Egg and Chubby Three earlier, the word Duoduo sounded like heavenly music to the little girl, and she agreed immediately.

”Then, Duoduo, you don’t need to call me master anymore!”

The little girl anxiously asked, ”Why? Master, are you abandoning me?”

Hearing the little girl’s tense tone, Lin Bingxuan quickly denied, saying, ”Of course not, I mean you can just call me sister from now on!”

Only then did Duoduo breathe a sigh of relief, agreeing happily.

Lin Bingxuan turned the topic back to the main issue, pointing at the Stone Book on the stone platform: ”Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Ordinarily, for Jianghu people, this was taboo, but Lin Bingxuan and Xiao Tian had no such scruples.

Besides, Xiao Tian was truly curious about what was so miraculous about the Ancient Cultivation Techniques?

Just as Xiao Tian was about to speak, Duoduo’s voice came through: ”Sister, even if you let him look, it’s useless; he simply doesn’t understand it!”

Xiao Tian, unconvinced, stepped forward, standing in front of the Stone Book...

Seeing the dense symbols and signs, some of which were replaced with simple drawings, gave him a headache.

Looking at the top, where the dense symbols were larger than those below, Xiao Tian scratched his head and asked, ”What is this?”

”Endless Life!”

Upon hearing Lin Bingxuan’s explanation, Xiao Tian felt utterly embarrassed and deeply loathed this kind of writing.

Clearly four simple characters but needing hundreds of symbols to stack together—isn’t that tiring?

Xiao Tian decided it was wiser not to continue because, to his shock, he found that the symbols and signs engraved above did not belong to any known contemporary language.

As for why Lin Bingxuan could understand it at a glance, it could only be attributed to her possibly being the destined one!

”Hmph!” Duoduo’s voice came again: ”Even if you could understand and learn it, it wouldn’t work without my help!”

Xiao Tian nodded reassuringly, which made things even more secure.

After coming out of the Divine Sense Realm, Lin Bingxuan began to slowly recover herself with the power of the Life Seal, while Xiao Tian excused himself from being in a hurry to restore his strength. Still, the former spent some time each day helping him regain his strength.

And during this period, something happened that left Xiao Tian utterly puzzled...
