"Mmm!"
Ling Yuan woke up from her sleep, her body sore and weak that she didn't want to move at all.
"What a bad person!"
She gave the sleeping Qian Yucheng a charming glare, feeling a little embarrassed thinking about last night's madness.
Where did all those tricks come from?
He really kept finding ways to torment her!
Just as Ling Yuan was complaining in her heart, a hand suddenly grasped her soft skin and began to knead it.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you again!"
She quickly slapped away the mischievous hand, her face flushed as she sat up, glaring angrily at Qian Yucheng.
He was already awake, smiling at her.
"What, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I..."
Before Ling Yuan could finish speaking, Qian Yucheng pulled her into his arms.
"The early bird catches the worm, how can we miss it?!"
Then, a strange song echoed in the room again.
The sun was high in the sky, and the two, dressed neatly, opened the door, ready to head to their next stop.
Star Dou Great Forest!
Ling Yuan, head bowed, was led to the front desk by Qian Yucheng. The waitress, seeing her like this, naturally knew what they had gone through the previous night.
"Here, this is the room key. And settle the bill while you're at it!"
He handed the key to her, then prepared to pay.
"Two gold soul coins!" the waitress said.
Taking two gold soul coins from his pocket and handing them to her, Qian Yucheng led Ling Yuan away from the inn.
He went to the parked carriage and said, "It's not really suitable to bring a carriage to the Star Dou Great Forest."
With a wave of his hand, the carriage was stored in his right hand.
Ling Yuan asked curiously, "What kind of ability is this? A soul bone skill?"
"There's something even more amazing!" Qian Yucheng smiled slightly, placing his right hand on Ling Yuan's shoulder.
Whoosh!
When they opened their eyes again, the two were in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A pair of gray rabbits, deeply engaged in conversation, immediately separated in fright upon hearing the noise and fled.
"This is…" Ling Yuan looked at Qian Yucheng curiously.
"Instant teleportation!" Qian Yucheng said, "Let's go, my destination is the core circle."
The core circle?
That's forbidden territory for Soul Masters! What is the Second Young Master planning?
Ling Yuan didn't ask further; he must have his reasons.
…
After walking for an hour, the aura emanating from Ling Yuan kept the low-level Soul Beasts at bay, allowing them to travel undisturbed.
*Swish!
* Suddenly, there was movement in the bushes beside them, making Ling Yuan alert.
She shouted, "Who's there?!"
"I'm so sorry to have disturbed you!"
A woman stepped out, her face apologetic.
The woman wore a long blue-gold dress, her noble and elegant demeanor highlighting her otherworldly beauty. Her azure eyes were flawless, like blue crystals.
Golden ribbons trailed around the hem of her dress, a faint fragrance wafting in the air.
Her long blue hair flowed in the wind, making her look like a fairy from a dream!
Seeing such a beautiful woman, Ling Yuan looked at her with displeasure.
She had a feeling that something was wrong with this woman!
Qian Yucheng naturally recognized her and smiled as he looked at her.
"Blue Silver Emperor!
Well, sorry, if we run into her, we'll have to intercept her!
Tang San's mother...we'll have to find someone else! " He stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Blue Silver Emperor!"
Ah Yin was taken aback, not expecting this man to recognize her. Ling Yuan also understood the meaning of "Blue Silver Emperor"—this woman was a soul beast! Perhaps even a 100,000-year-old soul beast! "Who are you? We don't seem to have met before!" Ah Yin's tone was wary. "I came to the Star Dou Great Forest with no ill intentions; I wish to meet your leader!"
"Chief? We don't have any chief!" A Yin naturally wouldn't reveal the truth.
"I'm not talking about that black dragon. Smart people don't beat around the bush!" Qian Yucheng
shook his head, making his statement clearer.
Hearing the word "black dragon," A Yin understood that this person probably knew a lot about the secrets of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The other party's words likely meant no real malice.
"Although I don't know what your purpose is, then come with me!"
A Yin said, gesturing for Qian Yucheng to follow.
Ling Yuan looked at Qian Yucheng; their conversation was strange.
Chief? Black dragon?
Qian Yucheng turned to look at her puzzled expression and said, "Just follow her, you'll know the answer soon enough!"
He then took Ling Yuan's hand and slowly followed behind A Yin.
Soon, A Yin led the two to a lake.
This was the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a place virtually untouched by humans.
"Sister A Rou, we have guests!" A Yin called out to a wooden house not far away.
As the words fell, the lake surged, and a bull-headed, snake-bodied, dark blue-green soul beast appeared!
One of the two overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Azure Bull Python!
"Such a powerful aura!" Ling Yuan instantly prepared for battle.
"Da Ming, don't be hasty!"
A wise voice rang out. The Azure Bull Python submerged itself, leaving a portion above water to monitor the two.
The wooden house door opened, and a woman in a pink dress, with red eyes and her smooth black hair simply tied up, exuding a captivating charm, slowly walked out.
Ling Yuan now recognized her and exclaimed in surprise, "A 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Charming Rabbit?!"
A Rou walked up to the two and said slowly, "Hello, strong among humans, I am A Rou!"
She didn't sense any danger from them, which was why she dared to approach them so closely.
"Hello, I am Qian Yucheng, the second son of the Angel Douluo!"
"This is my lover, Ling Yuan!"
Qian Yucheng introduced himself, stating his identity.
"What brings you here? We soul beasts and humans shouldn't have much in common,"
Arou asked, puzzled by his purpose.
"You may not know this matter yet; only your Beast God and that other one know the specific reason!"
"Don't doubt it. If you don't believe me, just give them a message."
"Tell them: the gods have begun their schemes, and the future of soul beasts is in grave danger!"
"I believe they will agree to see me!"
Qian Yucheng smiled slightly, speaking with great confidence.
The Azure Bull Python was secretly astonished. This human man actually knew of the existence of the Beast God!
He himself had received the essence blood bestowed by the Beast God, which had caused his bloodline transformation, allowing him to cultivate for 100,000 years!
Arou, seeing that Qian Yucheng didn't seem to be lying, fell into thought.
Seeing this, Qian Yucheng continued, "Tell them that the Asura have begun their schemes, and a new successor will descend in a few years. The future of soul beasts is in grave danger."
"This sentence will make your Beast God understand the importance of the matter!"
He also knew that the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts were currently in seclusion, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
But no matter how strong they were, without becoming gods, they were still lambs to the slaughter!
In the end, even your lord became someone else's wife!
The entire soul beast clan became someone else's wedding dress!
If you don't start planning now, it will be too late!
After much deliberation, Arou decided to go to the most central location.
"Alright, you wait here!"
After saying that, she looked at the Azure Bull Python and instructed,
"Daming, you watch over those two!"
"Okay, Aunt Rou, leave this to me!"
The Azure Bull Python indicated that it was fine with leaving this to him.
Then, Arou quickly left.
