Soul Fusion Online
chapter-77-1

Ryu went to where Chi was practicing her rune forging. She saw Fu Shi patiently teach Chi, who seemed to be trying to draw runes with a shaky hand. "Chi, you need to relax."

"I can't help it. This is where I always mess up..." Chi whined. On the floor scattered all over were many crumpled up sheets of rune paper.

Ryu walked in and quietly stood to the side, not wanting to interrupt. He gazed warmly at the girl, trying her hardest. After a few seconds, he saw Chi raise her hands in the air, yelling out while stamping her feet off the ground happily. "I did it! Finally!"

A small blue glow could be seen in front of Chi. Ryu walked over and looked over her shoulder to see a rune drawn onto the rune paper giving off a blue hue. "A rare rune?" Ryu was quite surprised. She had only practiced for a little while!

"Ryu, this girl's talent in rune forging is amazing. Once she is able to naturally draw runes, she can easily switch from rune paper to armor and other equipment. She just needs to get past her habit of pausing at the end." Fu Shi explained. Fu Shi looked around and asked: "By the way, Ryu, where is the black cat?"

"Shit! I forgot." Ryu quickly opened his menu and summoned Nergal. As soon as Nergal appeared, he looked at Ryu and turned his nose up, not wanting to look at this man who locked him away for so long. "Nergal, sorry, many things happened!"

"Meow!" Nergal let out a cry, he didn't want to hear it. He walked right out of the room and off to another location within the palace.

Ryu sighed. "I guess I will wait until he comes around."

"It's fine. He is within the palace and can't get out, so he can just roam about here." Fu Shi actually liked the little furry guy. So having the little guy roaming about would give her more chances to pet his soft fur later.

"Ryu, look!" Chi interrupted. She couldn't contain her excitement anymore, pushing the rune she just created into Ryu's hands.

Ryu smiled and petted Chi's head, causing her ears to twitch. "What's this rune do?"

"This one will speed you up by 10% for 5 minutes. Need to be in the fortification realm and stage 6 or above to use. So you think we can sell it under Heavenly Crafts name?" Chi asked.

"You don't want to sell it under your name?" Ryu was confused. It was not that he was unwilling, but he figured Chi would want to sell things under her own brand.

"No… there is no point. With you and me getting married, all our money will be going to the same place. Plus, you already put me under your account, so there is no difference if our money is combined or not." After saying this, a thought came to Chi's mind as she pointed at Ryu and asked: "You are not planning to get rid of me later on, are you?"

Ryu chuckled and pulled the little fox girl into his arms. "There is no way I would get rid of you. I just figured you might want to start your own brand. We can do whatever you want. As long as you are happy, I am happy." Ryu leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Ahem… Can you two not do that when others are around?" Fu Shi said with a sigh.

"Sorry." Ryu blushed slightly as he rubbed his nose. Chi grinned as if she did nothing wrong. When it came to Ryu in front of other girls, she did not mind being shameless if it meant making them all know that Ryu was hers!

"Anyway! Chi, we need to head out and explore a bit. I need to find a place called Silver Springs." Ryu said, changing the subject completely.

"Silver Springs?" Fu Shi asked.

"Mm… You know where it is?" Ryu never thought to ask Fu Shi if she knew where Silver Springs was. But now that he thought about it, she would probably be the best person to ask.

"I do, but you might want to bring a few more people with you. Even with your current cultivation, it may be hard to venture into that place. But if you can, make sure you bring back all the materials you can. That place is filled with many precious materials." Fu Shi replied.

"How many should we bring?" Ryu could only ask WhiteLotus and the other two girls if they can come.

"Umm, with you and Chi being at the cultivation you're at, if you can just get a few more damage dealers, you might be fine, but I would try for at least three more if you can." Fu Shi knew Chi and Ryu were strong, but that place was just overflowing with monsters.

"I see. Then we should be fine." Ryu was okay with bringing three people he knew. If he were to bring others that he did not know he may end up losing out on something good.

"So, are we going to this Silver Springs place?" Chi asked.

"Yeah, we will ask WhiteLotus, Rose, and Violet to go. This way, we go in with a group of people we know. There won't be issues with loot. Even if they are of lower level or under geared, we can just take things slow. I am in no rush and this will help those three out as well." Ryu explained.

"Sounds like a plan." Chi agreed.

While Yuki and Trisha were playing the game. Tina walked into the apartment and looked around. She checked the kitchen first to find dishes in the sink. "Good, they ate some food." Tina then walked to Yuki's bedroom and saw the door ajar slightly. She opened it to see Trisha cuddled up next to Yuki with her VR headset on and Yuki laying down with her head slightly propped up with a VR headset on as well. "Good, it's working." Tina let out a sigh of relief before closing the door. She walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch. She put a file on the table with a note. "I hope this will make her happy."

Tina got up and left. The folder on the table had an emblem that Yuki would recognize right away. It was that of Fortune college.
