Chapter 65 A Soul Beast Falls from the Sky.
Tang Ya said this, but her gaze kept lingering on Deng Mu, trying to find some clues in his expression.
Deng Mu forced a smile, "It's really nothing, Sister Xiaoya, I'm just a little tired, I was a bit distracted just now."
He deliberately stretched, pretending to be exhausted.
Seeing this, Tang Ya had no choice but to give up; Deng Mu's unwillingness to talk about it must mean something serious.
Deng Mu leaned against Tang Ya and laughed, "Sister Xiaoya, are you jealous because you saw me interacting with other girls?"
Tang Ya blushed, gently patted Deng Mu, and scolded, "Pah, pah, what are you saying? I'm not jealous, don't talk nonsense. I just saw how you looked just now, you obviously had something on your mind that you wouldn't tell me, I was just worried about you." She was indeed a little jealous; every time she saw Deng Mu laughing and talking with other girls, that sour feeling would rise up uncontrollably.
After all, she was Deng Mu's fiancée. She knew Deng Mu saw her as an older sister, but after spending so many years together, she knew she liked him.
Her hand unconsciously stroked Deng Mu's hair, as if to soothe her heart.
Deng Mu chuckled, "I was just joking, Sister Xiaoya. What could be bothering me? I'm just a little tired from the journey. Don't worry about me. Look at Sister Nannan, she's exhausted and is resting with her eyes closed."
Jiang Nannan snorted at Deng Mu's words, opened her eyes, and glanced at the two of them. "You two, stop whispering. You're making it hard for me to concentrate."
Tang Ya glared at Deng Mu. "Hmph, you're so good at making excuses. When we get back to the academy, I'll teach you a lesson and expose all your little schemes."
But the gentle stroking of Deng Mu's hair didn't stop; the affection in his heart was impossible to hide.
Deng Mu shrank back, "Oh, Sister Xiaoya, I really didn't hide anything from you, don't be so fierce."
As he spoke, he snuggled closer to Tang Ya.
Tang Ya was both amused and annoyed by his appearance, and the slight jealousy in her heart dissipated a bit. "Alright, alright, I'll believe you this time, but don't really hide anything from me, or I'll really get angry."
Hearing Tang Ya's words, Deng Mu quickly assured her that he wouldn't hide anything from her and Jiang Nannan.
The carriage sped towards Shrek Academy. Deng Mu sat in the carriage, pondering where to find the five evil soul masters.
The carriage continued to speed through the deepening night, the wheels rumbling, breaking the silence of the night.
Deng Mu looked at the dark night outside the carriage window, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind calculating the search for the five evil soul masters.
But in this vast sea of people, and with evil spirit masters always acting in secrecy, finding them was no easy task.
"Bang—"
Just then, a loud crash came from outside, like something falling from the sky.
The carriage suddenly braked sharply, and Deng Mu stumbled, but quickly steadied himself and lifted the curtain to peek out. Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan hurriedly followed Deng Mu to check the situation outside.
Ahead, dust filled the road, and a huge black shadow lay silently, seemingly some unknown behemoth.
The coachman approached Deng Mu, trembling, and said, "Young master, young ladies, I don't know what happened. This thing suddenly fell, and the horse was startled, causing the sudden brakes."
Deng Mu reassured the coachman, "It's alright, the three of us are spirit masters, you don't need to worry."
After speaking, he jumped off the carriage, warily watching the object not far away.
Hearing Deng Mu's words, the driver calmed down slightly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and stepped aside, still staring at the dark figure in the dust with lingering fear.
Deng Mu cautiously approached the dark figure step by step, with Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan following closely behind. The three formed a triangle, their soul power secretly surging in their palms, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
As the dust gradually dissipated, under the hazy moonlight, they could see that it was a giant deer covered with strange blue patterns.
It was majestic, nearly two meters tall at the shoulder and over four meters long, with a lithe and magnificent figure.
Its antlers were thick and intricately branched, each antler surrounded by blue-silver light, as if carefully woven and carved from blue-silver vines, shimmering with a mysterious and profound cold light. The tips of the antlers seemed to have blue-silver lightning leaping and crackling, releasing powerful soul power fluctuations.
At this moment, one of its hind legs was covered in blood, its fur soaked and matted with blood, likely from the fall.
Even injured, the immense pressure of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast still permeated the air, making the surrounding atmosphere heavy and oppressive.
"????"
Deng Mu, Jiang Nannan, and the other two stared at the soul beast, their faces blank with confusion.
They didn't understand what was going on; how could a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast have fallen from the sky?
They naturally recognized it as a Azure Spirit Pattern Deer.
Tang Ya was somewhat bewildered. She subconsciously moved closer to Deng Mu, her eyes fixed on the Azure Spirit Pattern Deer, and whispered, "How could this Azure Spirit Pattern Deer suddenly fall from the sky? It's so strange! Could it be that some bored soul master threw it down?"
Jiang Nannan, also bewildered, looked at the Azure Spirit Pattern Deer, wondering what was happening.
Hearing Tang Ya's words, Deng Mu looked around and saw a familiar figure in the distance, understanding the situation.
Speechless, he didn't quite understand why Tang Hao hadn't waited for everyone else to fall asleep before delivering it, but he couldn't voice this.
After a moment of internal monologue, Deng Mu approached the Azure Spirit Pattern Deer and, without hesitation, ended its life.
A black spirit ring emerged from the deer's corpse, radiating powerful spirit energy.
Deng Mu turned to Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan and said, "Sister, Sister Xiaoya, I'm going to absorb this spirit ring."
Tang Ya's eyes widened in surprise and worry. "Deng Mu, are you crazy! This is a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast's spirit ring! Are you sure you can handle it? What if something goes wrong?"
She stamped her feet anxiously, her hand unconsciously gripping Deng Mu's arm tightly, trying to stop his reckless act.
Jiang Nannan wasn't particularly surprised; she knew her brother's spirit ring compatibility and wasn't too worried about Deng Mu's safety.
Seeing Jiang Nannan remain silent, Tang Ya grew even more anxious and said to her, "Nannan, why don't you try to persuade him? A ten-thousand-year spirit ring isn't something you can just absorb casually. What if something happens to Xiao Mu?"
She had never heard of a fourth spirit ring being ten thousand years old.
Deng Mu quickly reassured Tang Ya, "Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, my second and third spirit rings are both ten-thousand-year old."
