'This spiritual power may have evolved from Pearl's feminine power and devouring power. She must be cultivating both her soul and a soul-related cultivation method using that soul-restoring pill, ' Ricky guessed as he felt the spiritual power coming from Pearl.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as she felt the arrival of Ricky, she immediately paused from her training.
"Pearl, I can feel that you are cultivating a special kind of spiritual power. Care to tell me what it is? Who knows, maybe I have a surprise waiting for you." Ricky winked. He smiled though her face was contorted in annoyance.
"I can't afford to waste precious time on your surprises." Pearl waved her hand at him dismissively.
"All right, since you don't want it, then it only proves that I am misjudging the situation. I was simply thinking about giving you the remaining one-third of the Heaven Soul Stone, but alas..." Ricky then prepared to leave as he trailed off.
"Heaven Soul Stone." Pearl slowly rose to her feet. "You still have a third of it?" Before Ricky could leave, he was stopped by Pearl. Her tone and voice had an undeniably ecstatic ring to it.
It was the Heaven Soul Stone, for crying out loud! Why wouldn't she want to get even just a piece of it from Ricky? Still, at the back of her mind, she knew that Ricky needed it more than she did.
If she asked for it, Ricky might give it to her because of their relationship. Perhaps, he might even share it as a way of being a gentleman. Pearl knew that in her own way, she had to do what it took to take advantage of the current situation.
If it were in the past, she would have taken it without any hesitation.
However, her feelings for Ricky had grown and developed into something deeper, something different. Pearl knew that, given how far they had come now, she could no longer do such a thing. That was why she had offered to exchange the dark water for the soul-restoring pill.
Since Ricky now had one third of the Heaven Soul Stone left, she surely didn't want to miss it.
"Of course!" Ricky replied with a smile as he saw the excited look on Pearl's face. Then, he turned over his palm, and the remaining Heaven Soul Stone appeared. Unfortunately for Pearl, it was only for a brief moment. She was shocked when he suddenly took the stone back.
At this, Pearl's face turned rigid. She knew that she was a little too excited for her own sake. If she wanted to get the remaining Heaven Soul Stone from Ricky, she would have to pay a price.
"If I tell you more about the cultivation method you are practicing, will you really give me a third of the Heaven Soul Stone?" she asked, prepping herself for a game of wits.
"Well, if it were only the case, then I would've already given you the stone. But after your refusal, I've decided that I have to add more to my conditions." Ricky smiled mischievously.
"What condition?" Pearl raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Ricky's smirk, she realized that perhaps bargaining with him was not a good decision after all.
"Pearl, we haven't practiced the Dark and Light Dual Cultivation Method for a very long time," Ricky expressed curtly, scratching the back of his head.
Bang! But before he could finish his words, a strong and chilling power instantly filled the surroundings. Pearl summoned the Feminine Mutant, poured out dark water, and condensed the dark palm to slap Ricky.
"Fuck! Are you serious!?" Ricky said angrily as he saw how Pearl even went as far as to use the dark water. He opted not to stay in the Massacring Zone any longer and went out as quickly as he could.
"You are such a jerk!" Pearl growled at him as he left.
She then noticed something on the ground of the zone. It was a transparent dark stone surrounded by strong spiritual power. Without a doubt, it was exactly the Heaven Soul Stone. Ricky left it there.
Pearl gasped, "He... He left the Heaven Soul Stone for me!" It took Pearl a few seconds to overcome her disbelief.
How could Ricky give up an item as important as a Heaven Soul Stone? Pearl knew how much the stone meant to him. As for the conditions mentioned by Ricky, that was to say, he was just making fun of her.
