I'll Comb Your Hair...

The Pangu Axe was covered in lightning patterns. With a flick of Ling Chang'an's hand, he hurled it into the air. Then one became two, two became four, and before Ling Chang'an, the four Pangu Axes formed a constantly spinning circle, like a full moon.

"Go!"

Lightning flashed at the center of the four Pangu Axes forming the full moon, and a circular radiance roughly two meters in diameter appeared. This full moon carried lightning with it, making it look terrifying.

"Buzz..."

The full moon shot straight at Da Ming at an unbelievable speed. The crackling of lightning could be heard in the air, while the surrounding environment was illuminated by blue electric light...

A trace of surprise flashed through Da Ming's eyes, but he did not take it too seriously. He did not even activate his own power, intending to take the blow head-on.

The full moon arrived in an instant. From afar, Da Ming seemed to have been swallowed whole by lightning, and the flashing light was so dazzling that Xiao Wu beside him could barely keep her eyes open.

Xiao Wu also noticed that the flowers and grass around Da Ming seemed to have been struck by lightning, turning blackened and charred as they completely lost their life force.

"Ha ha, interesting, interesting."

Da Ming's hearty laughter came from within the lightning. Then, as if the surrounding bolts had suddenly cut out, all the lightning vanished at once.

Da Ming was still dressed in his azure robes, though the corners of his clothes bore obvious scorch marks. A few strands of his hair stood on end as well, but otherwise, nothing about him had changed.

No matter how powerful he was, clothes and hair were not exactly easy to protect, especially against the power of lightning.

Of course, that was only because Da Ming had not drawn upon the power within his body. Otherwise, such an attack could not have harmed him at all. Even so, he was deeply astonished by Ling Chang'an's strength.

Shaking his still slightly numb wrist, Da Ming said, "The most frightening part of this soul skill is not its attack power, but the lightning power it carries. Not only does this lightning cover a wide area, it is truly formidable. At the very least, even a human Soul King would be affected by it."

"Ding. You successfully achieved Divine Manifestation before the Sky Blue Bull Python. Points +28."

"As expected of you, Senior. You truly have a discerning eye. My Crescent Moon Slash is indeed an area-of-effect attack, and the lightning power it carries is quite good." Ling Chang'an spoke without the slightest modesty. I need to find a chance to properly raise my Soul Ring to ten thousand years. Only then will I truly have the confidence to contend with a Soul King.

"Alright, you two can keep playing here. Xiao Wu, I'll be heading back first." After greeting Xiao Wu, Da Ming vanished from where he stood, waving his sleeve without taking a single cloud with him.

Only then did Xiao Wu hop over to Ling Chang'an, swinging her scorpion braid as she said sweetly, "Brother, you're amazing! You even messed up Da Ming's hair."

My treasure is even more amazing. Want to give it a try? Ling Chang'an pinched Xiao Wu's adorable cheek and said, "Of course. Who do you think I am?"

"Brother, I'll take you to meet my other little friends." As Xiao Wu spoke, she grabbed Ling Chang'an's hand without waiting for an answer and headed outside, leaving Ling Chang'an thoroughly delighted.

Sure enough, Soul Beasts who did not understand worldly conventions were so open. Combined with Xiao Wu's waist techniques, he would probably be able to unlock many positions in the future...

Thus, Ling Chang'an accompanied Xiao Wu as she introduced him to many interesting Soul Beasts.

There was the ninety-thousand-year-old Golden Ghost, a ten-year-old little bamboo, a thousand-year-old little squirrel, and even a ten-thousand-year-old brown bear...

That night, Ling Chang'an made noodles for Xiao Wu again. Afterward, he lay down to sleep on the grass. Xiao Wu also lay across his lap without any regard for her image, even drooling a little.

Early the next morning, when Ling Chang'an woke up, he found Xiao Wu sitting on the grass with her hair loose, holding a wooden comb as she combed it.

"Shall I comb your hair for you?" Ling Chang'an walked to Xiao Wu's side, gently stroking her beautiful hair as he spoke with innocent kindness.

As a Sea King, Ling Chang'an had styled countless hairstyles in his previous life. He had also played with girls in bed who wore many different hairstyles: twin tails, buns, big waves, and...

"Sure, Brother." As if she had thought of something, Xiao Wu gave Ling Chang'an a gentle look before handing him the ordinary wooden comb.

When taking the comb, Ling Chang'an pretended to brush Xiao Wu's hand by accident. Only then did he accept it, first smoothing out her hair before slowly beginning to comb it.

I've never tried a girl with a scorpion braid before. I wonder how her hair would change if I went in from behind... I'm really looking forward to it...

Ling Chang'an combed Xiao Wu's hair with an innocent expression while entertaining such thoughts in his heart.

As Ling Chang'an combed Xiao Wu's hair, she suddenly asked, "Brother, will you comb my hair for the rest of your life?"

"Of course I will. I swear that in this life, I'll only comb Xiao Wu's hair!" Ling Chang'an swore without hesitation. At worst, he could massage Bibi Dong, play with Qian Renxue's eggs, and act silly with Hu Liena later on.

"Xiao Wu, if you discover that Brother has hidden anything from you in the future, don't blame me..." Ling Chang'an took the opportunity to speak tenderly.

"Alright. I believe in you, Brother." Xiao Wu nodded innocently.

Just as Ling Chang'an finished combing Xiao Wu's hair, activity suddenly stirred in the distance around Er Ming and the others. A small emerald swan glowing green was slowly wrapped in Er Ming's Soul Power before being placed above the Lake of Life.

Before Muxi floated a dazzling yellow Soul Ring. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she struggled to absorb this five-hundred-year Soul Ring...

Watching the little Emerald Swan being nurtured atop the lake, Xiao Wu could not help letting out a heartfelt sigh of relief. "That's wonderful. Xiao Cui has finally left behind offspring. Although it's very weak, at least it has been left behind."

The death of every rare Soul Beast was a loss for the Star Dou Great Forest. Protecting these precious Soul Beasts and preventing them from dying out was the responsibility of high-level Soul Beasts like Xiao Wu and the others.

Ling Chang'an silently nodded without saying anything. Yet as he looked at Xiao Wu's smile, he made a decision: he would definitely solve the problem of Soul Beast extinction. Definitely!

Muxi's constitution was far inferior to Ling Chang'an's. Even after nearly half an hour had passed, she was still absorbing the ring. Though her small face was filled with pain, the stubbornness in her bones kept her going...

Although Muxi had undergone a cleansing of her marrow with a drop of water from the Lake of Life, the time had still been too short...

Sigh, it looks like I'll have to find a chance to take Chrysanthemum Douluo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. No matter Poison Douluo's attitude, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can only belong to Spirit Hall. Definitely! After some more time passed, Muxi slowly opened her captivating peach blossom eyes. When she saw Ling Chang'an standing before her, she could not help feeling a wave of reassurance.
