Little Wildcat, External Soul Bone

[The previous chapter was held for review. It's back up now. Sorry to anyone who missed it and skipped ahead. It was locked two minutes after I posted the first chapter. Since it was locked so early, I won't post the second chapter..]

"You say you can help me get rid of the poison, so you can? Who do you think you are?"

Hearing Tang San's words, Su Mu sneered.

"Senior, across the entire continent, I'm the only one who can cure your poison."

After saying that, Tang San was knocked back by the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Clutching his chest, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Survive first, then we'll talk!"

Su Mu said calmly.

Tang San looked at Su Mu, who had taken Dugu Bo's appearance and stood impassively to the side.

He flipped open the cloak on his back.

He took out a silver crossbow.

Seeing this, Su Mu began to think.

He couldn't use this 2,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring, but he could convert it into Interception Points.

The Eight Spider Lances were a thousand-year External Soul Bone.

They would later evolve into wings and grant the ability to fly, but he had no use for that either. He already had the Blue Spirit Emperor's leg bone, and he didn't need to return it to Ah Yin as in the original story.

It would be a bit of a waste to convert it into Interception Points.

If he absorbed it, it would take up one of his Soul Bone slots.

Giving it to Tang San was even more out of the question.

Speed boost: increased movement speed by 50%.

Physical function: powerful jumping ability.

Those two bonuses were better suited to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Bang!"

Just then, Tang San aimed at the Man Faced Demon Spider charging toward him.

He fired the Zhuge Crossbow.

"Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow!"

As the Soul Bone Skill activated, Su Mu, still wearing Dugu Bo's appearance, switched places with the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Facing the incoming crossbow bolts,

Su Mu released his Soul Power. With several clinks and clangs,

all the bolts fell to the ground.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Tang San stared wide-eyed at Dugu Bo, his eyes blazing with anger.

"I still have a use for this little spider. I don't want to give it to you."

Su Mu, in Dugu Bo's guise, spoke calmly.

"Senior, the poison has already seeped into your bones!"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Tang San climbed to his feet and glared at Su Mu.

Hearing Tang San's words, Su Mu slowly walked up to him.

He raised his hand and slapped Tang San across the face.

The slap sent Tang San sprawling.

Good grief. You're a three-ring Soul Elder who doesn't even have his fourth Soul Ring yet. How do you have the nerve to say that??

"Y-you actually hit me!!"

Tang San lay on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.

Su Mu ignored Tang San's words.

He raised his foot and kicked Tang San, sending him tumbling across the ground several times.

"Get lost, kid!"

"If I see you again, I'll kill you!"

Su Mu, in Dugu Bo's guise, threatened Tang San as he watched him cough up blood without end.

Tang San struggled to rise from the ground and looked at Su Mu, his eyes full of resentment.

This time, I won't cure your poison.

Let's see how you break through any further.

Go die in agony.

Your poison miasma can't stop me.

Just wait. This time I won't cure your poison, and you won't be able to keep the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well either.

Su Mu watched Tang San's expression.

He walked over to give him another kick.

Just then, Tang San suddenly scrambled up and ran toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing this, Su Mu, still in Dugu Bo's guise, did not give chase.

After Tang San's figure disappeared, Su Mu looked away.

After what happened today, given how Tang San held grudges, he probably wouldn't have anything more to do with Dugu Bo.

But judging by Tang San's tone and everything he had done six years ago,

Tang San definitely seemed to know something. Could Tang San also...

If that was really the case, he would never give up on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs.

When he came to collect the Immortal Herbs, it would be time for him to die.

Su Mu couldn't keep letting him grow. At this point in the original story, Tang San should have been level 29.

Now he was already a level 40 Soul Elder, lacking only one Soul Ring.

The Man Faced Demon Spider nearby watched Su Mu, who still looked like Dugu Bo.

It began to retreat slowly.

Hearing the movement,

Su Mu dropped his disguise and knocked the Man Faced Demon Spider over with one punch.

He then brought Zhu Zhuqing over.

"This is...!"

Zhu Zhuqing cried out in surprise at the Man Faced Demon Spider's terrifying appearance.

"A Man Faced Demon Spider about 2,000 years old."

"Absorb it as your third ring!"

Su Mu explained to Zhu Zhuqing.

"But it's 2,000 years old..."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Mu, her eyes somewhat puzzled.

"It's fine. Trust me!"

Hearing Su Mu's words, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated no longer.

She released her Martial Soul, and the shadowy forms of a pair of cat ears appeared above her cat-ear buns.

A cat's tail appeared behind her, along with two yellow Soul Rings.

As Zhu Zhuqing's claws came down,

a purple Soul Ring appeared.

Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged and released her Soul Power, slowly drawing the Soul Ring toward her.

Su Mu didn't dare stand idle either. He went to Zhu Zhuqing's side and released his Three-Headed Flood Dragon Martial Soul.

He had his Three-Headed Flood Dragon Martial Soul envelop Zhu Zhuqing and the purple Soul Ring.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression began to twist with pain.

Seeing this, Su Mu grew a little worried.

But with the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's pressure, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

As time passed, second by second,

Zhu Zhuqing's previously relaxed brows knitted tightly again.

Here it comes!

Seeing this, Su Mu thought to himself.

He increased his Martial Soul's pressure.

Under the suppression of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet Martial Soul showed faint signs of withdrawing from possession.

That was despite Su Mu deliberately keeping it under control.

At the same time,

the purple Soul Ring slowly fused into Zhu Zhuqing's body.

But Zhu Zhuqing had not finished absorbing it.

Her eyes were still tightly shut.

Su Mu didn't dare relax. If things got out of hand, it would be a disaster.

Suddenly, Su Mu noticed something.

He quickly moved away from Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's top had been torn to shreds by the Eight Spider Lances.

Su Mu first looked at Zhu Zhuqing in that state and swallowed.

Only then did he look at the eight blue spider legs behind her.

Ah, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

That thing is poisonous.

When we get back to the courtyard in Sunset Forest, what if she sees Gu Yuena there too and stabs me before listening to an explanation?

Su Mu sighed inwardly.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes as well.

She looked at the eight spider legs around her, then at her somewhat exposed upper body.

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly covered her pair of ample, snowy-white breasts with both hands and curled up her legs to shield herself.

"You're still laughing!"

Her face flushed, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, doing her best to cover herself.

She glared at Su Mu as she spoke.

"Put that External Soul Bone of yours away first."

Su Mu's eyes never left Zhu Zhuqing.

Looking at the snowy whiteness spilling out at the sides, he spoke with a smile.

"External Soul Bone?"

"How do I put it away?"

Although External Soul Bones were extremely rare, under these circumstances, Zhu Zhuqing only wanted to find some clothes as quickly as possible.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's pretty, crimson face and shy expression, Su Mu slowly explained it to her.

Zhu Zhuqing tried several times in succession before finally putting away the Eight Spider Lances.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing withdraw the Eight Spider Lances, Su Mu reached into the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night.

He took out one of his own shirts.

He handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Did you know about this all along?!"

After putting it on, Zhu Zhuqing stood up and demanded an answer.

The shirt was very loose, and Su Mu wasn't perverted enough to have prepared a special one in his Soul Tool.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing made a rather large movement as she stood up.

Her snowy-white breasts

bounced up and down several times, full of spring, before settling.

Through the white shirt, Su Mu had a clear view of two delicate little peanuts.

After Tang San left the Star Dou Great Forest,

he looked back into the forest with venomous eyes.

"Dugu Bo!"

"Since that's how it is, don't blame me!"

With that, Tang San headed in the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire.
