Er Ming came_1

Chu Qin smiled slightly, then turned to Meng Yiran and said, "Yiran, which soul beast do you need?"

"The Tai Cang Giant Python!" Meng Yiran replied, "Grandpa said that among snake types, the best soul rings come from pythons!"

"Then let's catch the Redflame Fox first!"

The Redflame Fox was also a relatively rare soul beast, but in the Aquipeia Forest, one could still see them from time to time!

Thus, Chu Qin killed five Redflame Foxes and, carrying their bodies, came to the Aquipeia Forest, where he threw the bodies in a relatively dark swamp.

Sure enough, about half a Shi Chen later, a serpentine beast emerged from the mire!

The beast was about seven meters long, composed of segments like a dark red mechanical python, with a triangular head and a peculiar tail, resembling six raised scorpion's tails!

In addition, a dark red flame-like glow radiated from around it!

"This is the Tai Cang Giant Python!" Xiaowu exclaimed excitedly, "This Tai Cang Giant Python should be just right, with roughly a thousand-year cultivation!"

"Alright, I'll go stun it now," Chu Qin nodded, "and then Yiran, you deliver the final blow!"

"Wait, Chu Qin, let us do it!" At this moment, Ning Rongrong spoke up.

"Yeah, we came to the Aquipeia Forest for training, yet it's always you fighting!" Zhu Zhuqing followed.

"But..." Chu Qin hesitated a bit. He was a bit worried about a thousand-year-old soul beast with an ancient bloodline!

"No worries, Chu Qin, I can go too!" Xiaowu said.

"Xiaowu, you..." Chu Qin was somewhat surprised by Xiaowu volunteering to fight a soul beast!

"I won't step in for other soul beasts! But snakes eat rabbits, and the Tai Cang Giant Python is one of the natural predators of our Soft Bone Charm Rabbit clan!" Xiaowu whispered to Chu Qin.

It's worth mentioning that the Azure Oxpython used to be a natural predator of Xiaowu and her mother, but in the end, they subdued it together!

"In that case, be careful!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Mhm!" Xiaowu smiled and said, "Sisters, release your soul rings!"

No sooner had Xiaowu finished speaking than two hundred-year soul rings lit up beneath the feet of the four girls!

"Seven Treasures shine with glazed brilliance, the first is: Strength!"

"The second is: Speed"

"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"

"Waist Bow!"

"Snake Blade"

...

Chu Qin stood on the side, admiring the figures and poses of the four great beauties!

On the other hand, he readied Su Daji, prepared to strike at any moment!

However, as it turned out, Chu Qin had underestimated the strength of the four women!

Su Daji didn't get the chance to make a move!

With the top-tier support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the four girls managed to defeat the Tai Cang Giant Python without a scratch!

After all, Chu Qin's four women were geniuses among geniuses, with intelligence and combat power naturally far surpassing the common Grand Soul Master!

What's more, they were all close to being Soul Elders!

Next, Meng Yiran was sitting to the side, absorbing the soul ring of the Tai Cang Giant Python, while Chu Qin and the others listened to Xiaowu's stories about the strange happenings from the Aquipeia Forest!

"Chu Qin, I've broken through to Level Thirty-Three!"

Before long, Meng Yiran turned to Chu Qin, brimming with excitement.

Under the special bloodline of the Tai Cang Giant Python, Meng Yiran's soul power leapt directly from Level Thirty to Level Thirty-Three!

"Congratulations, Yiran!"

"Congratulations, Elder Sister Yiran!"

Xiaowu and the other two girls couldn't help feeling envious! It's incredibly difficult to advance as a Soul Master, and to reach the level of Soul Elder, one would need at least two months per level!

"This is all thanks to the efforts of my sisters!"

Even so, deep down Meng Yiran felt an extreme love for Chu Qin! If she had absorbed only the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake, she would have been at most level thirty-one!

But now, she had reached level thirty-three!

Thinking of this, Meng Yiran directly kissed Chu Qin on his lips!

"Yiran, you..."

Chu Qin's face turned slightly red at once!

"Chu Qin, that was my first kiss! I've made up my mind! From now on, I will be willing, and forever be your fourth woman!" Meng Yiran said with a shy tone.

"Chu Qin, you won't reject me, will you?"

"Of course not!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "But does that mean you weren't willing before?"

"No, no, I misspoke!" Meng Yiran hastily replied.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you!" Chu Qin said affectionately, "Now that Yiran has obtained her Soul Ring, this place is not safe to stay for long. Shall we head back?"

Following that, Chu Qin and the four of them retraced their steps back to the campsite!

At this moment, Zhao Wuji and his crew had not yet returned!

Chu Qin didn't plan to wait for them; he made a campfire, sat down with the four girls, and started roasting some Soul Beast meat on the rack!

"Master, a super Soul Beast is approaching this location!" Suddenly, Su Daji spoke to Chu Qin!

"A super Soul Beast?" Chu Qin frowned slightly. "The Titan Ape!"

"No, we can't draw the Titan Ape here. If it were to hurt Ning Rongrong and the others, and I were unable to fight it because Xiaowu shouldn't expose her identity..." Chu Qin thought to himself.

"I've got it!"

Suddenly, Chu Qin had an idea and spoke to Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, come with me, just for a moment!"

"Ah?" Xiaowu said, surprised.

"Come on!" Chu Qin said with a smile. "I have something to deal with Xiaowu. You three, stay close to Su Daji and do not leave her side!"

"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran nodded.

"Where are you going? Can I come too?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Rongrong, be good and stay with Daji!"

"Alright then!"

Following that, Chu Qin took Xiaowu by the hand and walked deeper into the forest.

"Chu Qin, what's wrong?" Xiaowu asked, surprised.

"A hundred-thousand-year-level Titan Ape is drawing near!" Chu Qin replied. "I suspect it's likely coming for you!"

"The Titan Ape? Er Ming!" Xiaowu exclaimed, both shocked and delighted.

"Xiaowu, you know it?" Chu Qin asked deliberately.

"Mhm, it's my younger brother!" Xiaowu replied. "Chu Qin, I actually haven't told you, my home is in the core area of the Aquipeia Forest! I have two younger brothers at home, one is Da Ming, a hundred-thousand-year Azure Oxpython, and the other is Er Ming, a Titan Ape with ten thousand years of life and the strength of a hundred-thousand-year beast!"

"Telling me now isn't too late!" Chu Qin said affectionately with a smile, "I just feared that Er Ming might clash with Daji and the others, so I deliberately brought you out here! It looks like my guess was right!"

"Chu Qin, you're so thoughtful! Later, don't fight it. It's a bit silly but won't hurt us," Xiaowu said with a smile. "Also, it's perfect timing, I've just broken through level thirty, and I can take this opportunity to create a Soul Ring!"

"Mhm. Good! I've heard that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that has evolved back into a human can autonomously create the first seven Soul Rings!" Chu Qin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's possible!" Xiaowu said with a chuckle.
