Chapter 239: The Golden Dragon Maiden

Chapter 239: The Golden Dragon Maiden

"The Golden Dragon Maiden?" Du Qianjue looked puzzled. His companion, Lang Ya, was equally confused, furrowing his brows and lost in thought, searching his memory for any information about the Golden Dragon Maiden.

"Great Elder, I've heard of the Dragon Maiden, a highly unusual soul beast from the Sun Moon Empire, highly sought after by many soul masters who offer large rewards for her. But this Golden Dragon Maiden..." Lang Ya hesitated.

Du Qianjue was also aware of the Dragon Maiden's existence. Moreover, at this time, the city of Ming was hosting an underground soul masters tournament, and one of the three main organizers, the Ordinary Alliance, likely had a Dragon Maiden in their possession.

The Ordinary Alliance, despite its plain name, is the largest operator in Ming's sensual industry, owning the most brothels in the city. It's probable that the Dragon Maiden is somehow linked to these establishments.

Indeed, this is the case. Dragon Maidens look no different from human women, but each is a top-tier beauty with an outstanding figure. They are covered in scales all over their bodies, which they retract only when aroused, allowing for intimate relations with humans.

Most importantly, being intimate with a Dragon Maiden can enhance a human's innate abilities! This is similar to dual cultivation, which helps soul masters improve their talents and consolidate the floating soul power within their bodies. This is particularly beneficial for naturally weak soul masters who don't focus much on training.

The Ordinary Alliance even publicly stated during the underground tournament that if a soul master representing their group won the championship, they would offer two or three Dragon Maidens as prizes! So, they definitely possess Dragon Maidens.

But the Golden Dragon Maiden... That's unheard of!

For a moment, Du Qianjue even mistakenly thought of Wang Qiu'er, who possesses the Golden Dragon soul spirit, as the Golden Dragon Maiden. But then he reconsidered, since Wang Qiu'er's attributes are ultimate strength, and the powers she sacrifices to Huo Yuhao involve mental and destiny powers, which have nothing to do with the ultimate metal element.

"Uncle Jin Peng, stop beating around the bush and tell us more about the Golden Dragon Maiden," Du Qianjue said, still unable to understand after much guessing.

"You do have a need for a soul beast with ultimate metal attributes, right? The Golden Dragon Maiden perfectly meets your requirements," Jin Peng said with a lewd grin, making Du Qianjue's skin crawl. But then, Jin Peng revealed more about the Golden Dragon Maiden.

The Golden Dragon Maiden, just like her name suggests, is a soul beast of the metal attribute and represents the ultimate metal element. Unlike other metal-attribute soul beasts, the Golden Dragon Maiden's physical strength isn't strong; she's only slightly stronger than a normal human.

Her tribe's greatest strength lies in their control over the metal attribute. They can manipulate almost any metal in the world and have an unprecedented ability to detect rare metals. This means that metal-attributed soul beasts following a Golden Dragon Maiden will never lack rare metals to consume, making these metals vital resources for their cultivation.

Therefore, the Golden Dragon Maiden is not just a lucky beast but is more like one, always surrounded by powerful guardian soul beasts.

In addition to her name including "Dragon Maiden," she naturally shares some characteristics of Dragon Maidens, and can do what they do, but even better.

Being intimate with a Golden Dragon Maiden offers much greater benefits than with a regular Dragon Maiden. This is also why Jin Peng looked somewhat lewd.

"The young master is already seventeen; it's time he had some real experience," he joked after explaining about the Golden Dragon Maiden, his face rippling with a sly smile.

Facing Jin Peng's suggestive remarks and Lang Ya's nudges, Du Qianjue rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Even the Ice Emperor within Du Qianjue's spirit sea couldn't help but comment, "Humans are really strange, always thinking about mating. Can't you think of something more serious?"

Sheng Xin, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

"I am serious, okay?" Du Qianjue asked with some resentment.

"Serious? The first time we met, you ran off with my Xue'er. Do you have the nerve to call yourself serious?" The Ice Emperor's look was disdainful, as if Du Qianjue deserved a beating, "You're no better, always thinking about those things!"

Du Qianjue, resisting the urge to drag the Ice Emperor out and give him a beating, turned to Jin Peng and asked, "Do you know where we can find information on the Golden Dragon Maiden? Such a rare soul beast must be hard to find, right?"

Jin Peng smiled but said nothing, releasing his nine soul rings and pointing to the ninth, a blood-red one.

"What do you think I got this ninth soul ring from?" Du Qianjue was struck by a thought.

Lang Ya also looked thoughtful.

"As you might have guessed, this ninth soul ring came from a Golden Dragon Maiden! It's rare for soul beasts of a hundred thousand years to gather, but there are some around the Golden Dragon Maiden!"

"If it weren't for this hundred-thousand-year soul beast being alone because it was weaker, I wouldn't have been able to hunt it for my ninth soul ring!" Jin Peng said, recounting the past events.

As it turned out, this soul ring was also helped by Du Busi and Du Buse, who had been titled Douluo for many years and had many hundred-thousand-year soul rings when Jin Peng first reached the titled Douluo level.

They had just entered the Jingyang Mountain Range and encountered a weakened hundred-thousand-year soul beast, which happened to be the strong-bodied soul beast Jin Peng needed. They quickly defeated it and made it Jin Peng's soul ring.

But their battle also attracted the attention of many soul beasts, including the Golden Dragon Maiden! That was over a hundred years ago, and by then, the Golden Dragon Maiden could already speak, with a cultivation of at least three hundred thousand years, and was guarded by six hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!

It was then, through conversation, that Jin Peng and the others learned that this hundred-thousand-year soul beast was also a guardian of the Golden Dragon Maiden, having fallen behind due to a quarrel with another soul beast. Although soul beasts typically don't kill each other, they often spar and compete.

After all, soul beasts are still wild animals at heart, and their aggressive nature is indelible.

No one expected that a mere quarrel would result in the soul beast becoming a human soul ring.

Faced with many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, even though Du Busi and Du Buse were powerful, they could only flee with the body of the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, fortunate that the Golden Dragon Maiden and her companions did not pursue them further.

After all, a soul ring only exists for an hour, which is two hours in time!

"That Golden Dragon Maiden is extremely powerful, and she is still likely alive, guarding a territory deep within the Jingyang Mountain Range," Jin Peng said with a smile.

"This is also why people from the Sun Moon Empire hardly have hundred-thousand-year soul rings. The hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Evil Demon Forest are under the Evil Emperor's command, and hunting them would provoke the Evil Emperor's wrath."

"The hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Jingyang Mountain Range, due to the Golden Dragon Maiden, have formed an alliance, and hardly anyone dares to provoke the group led by the Golden Dragon Maiden. So, if they want hundred-thousand-year soul rings, they can only try their luck in the Great Star Dou Forest or the seas."

"And those places are not ones they can simply decide to visit."

Du Qianjue nodded thoughtfully.

It seems... the only option might be to try their luck with the Golden Dragon Maiden.
