In the depth of Sunset Forest, the figure of three people appeared and vanished. They were fast, and they seemed unbothered by the Soul Beasts they passed. After all, none of them were suitable for the young lady who had come to get her 7th Soul Ring, so why bother with them?
Who were they? Who else but the three of the highest ranking members of the Martial Soul Hall who had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue, the Snake Lance Douluo asked and Porcupine Fish Douluo?
"Your highness, do you have a specific Soul Beast in mind to hunt?" Snake Lance Douluo asked and Porcupine Fish Douluo followed :"Just give us the order, and we'll find it for you as soon as possible." Qian Renxue hummed :"As long as it matches my Martial Soul, anything is fine if the age is right. After all, since this is for my Martial Soul True Body, it doesn't matter what Soul Beast I hunt. What matters is the age being as close to my limit as possible for me to absorb."
"Then you can just leave it to us." Snake Lance Douluo said, but a frown appeared on his face suddenly as he looked to a certain location :"This is..." Seeing Porcupine Fish Douluo also follow his example, she turned to look as well.
In the far off distance, with her heightened senses, she saw someone getting chased. By a Soul Beast at that. By a Pit Demon Spider Emperor specifically. She couldn't see him properly, but he looked young. Younger than her at least.
"Your highness, what should we do...?" Porcupine Fish Douluo turned to her awkwardly. He didn't know what she was thinking, but she was looking for too long. In the end, Qian Renxue looked at Snake Lance Douluo :"Since we're not busy and I'm feeling nice, we might as well help that boy. That Pit Demon Spider Emperor is only 10,000-years-old too, so dealing with it won't be a problem."
"As you wish then." Bowing, Snake Lance Douluo disappeared, moving towards the Spider-type Soul Beast and the boy at blinding speed. But what he saw next made his and the other two's eyes go wide.
- (With Ah Li)
'Oh god almighty, give me patience.' He breathed intensely, flaring his nose at the annoyance that was chasing him like a man with a whip would chase a certain kind of monk- (A/N: My lawyer has advised me to not finish this joke.) :'But please hurry.'
Noticing eyes on him from the distance didn't help either :'Fucking pricks, do I look like a circus to you?! Fine, you want a show? Enjoy this one then!' With his patience snapped, he turned instantly, sliding backwards because of his speed :"You want a bug fight?! Then eat, bitch!"
He really had it with this Pit Demon Spider Emperor. It's like the bastard wanted to be stolen away from Tang San. Actually, in hindsight, he could understand that. But he was too frustrated with this spider that had been chasing him for a while now.
Flashing a smirk that said "yeah, whatcha gonna do now, bitch?" for itself, he immediately released one of his External Soul Bones, the Nightmare Sickles. A dreadful aura immediately spread around, affecting the spider and even the Soul Master that Ah Li noticed had come to help him. 'Oh, guess he wasn't just watching. But oh well, I'll finish this myself.'
[External Soul Bone: 200,000-year Nightmare Sickles]
Being a 200,000-year External Soul Bone, it was no surprise that even a Lv 92 Titled Douluo was affected. Forget about him, even a Super Douluo above Lv 95 would need to be careful when facing this External Soul Bone.
And the unfortunate Pit Demon Spider Emperor? A mere 10,000-year Soul Beast? It had itself to blame. Not managing to stop itself in time, its fight or flight instinct took control. "Shaaa!" With a sinister hiss, it swung its sharp legs at Ah Li. Planning to quickly kill him and get out of danger.
But Ah Li, empowered by the release of the Nightmare Sickles, was faster. The sharp blades protruding from his forearms slashed at the Pit Demon Spider Emperor, and easily cut off the blade-like legs it used for attacking like a hot knife through butter. "Shaaa!!" It hissed in pain, but screamed even harder when the cut off parts began to corrode away.
[Ultimate Element: Ultimate Corrosion (Nightmare Sickles)]
And corrode away fast. It was like its cut off legs were on fire and were being turned to ash as soon as they were burnt. The cut off parts on the ground had already turned into two gross puddles of acid already. The Pit Demon Spider Emperor tried to run, but was stopped when Ah Li grabbed its legs.
"Oh, no the fuck you don't!" With a roar, he gripped so hard its legs shattered in his palms, making it screech as he turned and hammered him into the ground. He didn't have mercy on the insectoid. The force of which he slammed him into the ground made the entire place shake, and for the spider to nearly burst open.
It hissed weakly, and Ah Li, not feeling like playing with his prey, just cut off its head. It didn't die immediately, guess the life force of an Insect-type Soul Beast was pretty resilient. But after twitching for a bit, it finally stopped moving.
The corpse of a spider was still creepy, even now that he had gotten used to them. But the sight of a spider as big as a car laying with its feet folded into it still looked creepy as heck. With the annoyance dead, the noiret pointed his Nightmare Sickle at the hiding figure :"Hey, haven't you heard that snooping around is rude?"
"Calm down, child, I mean you no harm." The old man walked out, looking to be in his 40s instead of 80s :"We saw you were in trouble and thought you might die, so our young miss ordered me to save you. We don't have any malicious intent, and just wanted to help. But it seems like it wasn't needed."
"That so?" The noiret narrowed his eyes, looking suspicious. With this guy being a Lv 92 Titled Douluo, something he could sneakily observe, he didn't know what kind of young miss was above him to order him around.
"Hm, that's right." The Titled Douluo nodded, smiling :"Hey, you must have been escaping from that Pit Demon Spider Emperor for a while now. If you're tired, how about meeting my young miss? If she allows you too, you could join us for a while. After all, we're pretty deep into the Sunset Forest, and taking a break easily isn't a luxury for your level."
"Hm..." He considered it. It's not like he was in a hurry anymore anyway. He had taken care of everything, so he could chill and take it easy. And besides, even if these people had something planned, it's not like they could remotely danger him. But considering how he couldn't sense any malice, he wasn't worried.
"Alright then, I'm sorry for troubling you." Smiling politely, he put away his Nightmare Sickles :"And sorry for coming off as aggressive just now." But the old man just laughed :"It's alright, it's alright. In fact, it was the right thing to do. Places like these aren't where you can trust people easily. And I was pretty suspicious for sneaking around when you were fighting, so we're even. Now, let's not waste time anymore. Our young miss is waiting, so let's return."
Poor Snake Lance Douluo, he should have known better than to just randomly invite someone as handsome as him to meet a young lady. Oh, wait, there wasn't anybody as handsome as him, so how could he know from experience? Ah Li snickered internally.
He didn't know how many hearts he had broken because of being in love with Bibi Dong already. And besides, with how his hair was covering his upper face, he couldn't blame the old man since he couldn't see his beauty. 'Haaa, poor girl, hope she won't fall in love too hard.' He twirled his long bangs :'But seriously, I should really get a haircut. Long hair is cool and all, but it's a pain in the ass.'
Unlike his childish thoughts, Snake Lance Douluo was serious, but still excited :'My goodness, we've found an absolute gem! From his Soul Power fluctuation, I can sense that he is already a Lv 40 Soul Ancestor! And a pretty high leveled one at that!
And from the looks of it, this boy is just a kid! Although his face is covered mostly because of his long hair, I can see that he's pretty young despite looking older because of his body! But not just that, the main thing is that External Soul Bone just now! It was powerful, way too powerful. Even I felt threatened by just looking at it.
I don't know how that's possible, but it doesn't matter. Although it's unfortunate that it seems like it has been completely bonded with him, if we can get this kid on our side, its strength is ours in the end. No matter what, we must get this boy under her highness! Heh, and with her highness's beauty, I'm sure this kid will fall in love with her at first sight and follow her like a good dog waiting for attention.'
"Then follow me." He turned and left. Following behind the old man, he walked to where the rest of his group was. "Your- ahem ahem, young miss, we're back. And I brought the boy with me." Stepping through the bushes, just as he pushed his hair back, not only his eyes, but the eyes of this young lady went wide as well.
Qian Renxue's reasons were obvious. She had never seen a boy that handsome. That clearly defined face, the most handsome one she had ever seen, with gem-like eyes, a jawline gifted by Jesus himself, and beautiful obsidian hair like a field full of cotton pick- (A/N: Ahem ahem, my lawyer dislikes this joke.), the boy was easily the most perfect man she had even seen. And she had seen a lot of guys.
And that body, chiseled to a mouthwatering degree, made him even more beautiful. The exposed arms and cleavage he revealed thanks to having lowered his zipper would make any woman want to play bite them. Herself included.
But that wasn't why she was shocked.
The same was for Ah Li. She was beautiful, he would never deny that. After all, having the genes of Bibi Dong and the Angel Clan, it was obvious that Qian Renxue would be one of the most, if not the most beautiful woman in the world.
Heck, she might even surpass Bibi Dong if she grew to be a milf. And he knew that was true, because the older Qian Renxue living in his Spiritual Sea truly had become even more beautiful than Bibi Dong. Although she looked just like a 20 year old, just like Bibi Dong, the aura of a milf truly did level up a woman.
Women really did have the right to be jealous of these kinds of women, huh? Because even after reaching 40, the older Qian Renxue looked exactly like the 20 year old one in front of him. If not for the difference in the aura of maturity, and the growth in "certain" parts that indicated she was an absolute milf, people would definitely mistake them as twins if they stood side by side.
Of course, one twin would seem to have inherited a better figure in that case. She really was the daughter of Bibi Dong. But this Qian Renxue, the younger version by about 20 years, was no slouch either. Her figure was already fantastic to begin with, even if she wasn't a milf.
Her beauty was out of this world. Gorgeous face, with phoenix eyes, a straight nose, crimson plump lips, and blonde hair like a golden waterfall, just her face was enough to steal the heart of any man. And that was ignoring the amazing figure. Just like her mother, she was the very definition of an hourglass figure.
But even with all that, her beauty wasn't what shocked him. Just like her, how his beauty wasn't what shocked her. No, it was something else. Something neither of them had ever expected to experience.
A reaction from their Martial Souls.
