As night gradually deepened.

Su Luo took out the tent he had prepared beforehand.

He set up a temporary shelter in a large tree.

Who would have thought that a rustling sound suddenly came from nearby.

It immediately put Su Luo on high alert.

Su Luo stood on the tree.

Cautiously looking toward the patch of grass where the sound had come from.

There seemed to be something inside.

Gradually, the rustling sound disappeared.

And calm returned once more.

Su Luo leaped down from the tree.

Slowly parting the grass.

He saw a beautiful woman with a pale face.

She lay prone amid the grass, looking utterly devoid of life.

Her once luxurious clothes were now tattered and torn.

There were several deep claw marks across her shoulders and back.

Su Luo first checked her breathing.

Confirming that she still had a few faint breaths left.

He carried the woman around the waist and leaped into the tent in the tree.

He placed his hand on her body.

Wanting to use his Paw Ability to repel the woman's injuries.

But what puzzled Su Luo was that.

His Paw Ability could only repel thirty percent of her injuries.

No matter what he did, he could not repel the remaining injuries.

After pondering for a long time.

"It should be because the gap in our strength is too great."

Su Luo guessed that the woman's Ability Level must be very high.

The difference between their Ability Levels was too vast.

That was why Su Luo's ability could not fully display its effects.

But repelling thirty percent of her injuries was enough to keep the woman alive.

Her face was no longer quite so pale.

The pain on her face had also faded considerably.

He took out the alcohol and medicine he had prepared before leaving the city.

First disinfecting the wounds, then applying the medicine to the claw marks on her body.

With that done, he covered them with gauze.

He draped a piece of clothing over the woman.

Then turned over and went straight to sleep.

In the morning, the sun had just risen.

Its light shone through the tent window.

The sleeping woman was struck in the eyes by the sunlight.

She smacked her lips and woke up groggily.

The first thing she saw when she turned her head was Su Luo sleeping soundly beside her.

The woman's eyes went blank, and her mind crashed for a moment.

Coming back to herself, she immediately sat up.

The first thing she did was look over her own body.

Her clothes were still properly on, though there were some tears in them.

The claw marks on her body had also been carefully treated.

There were no signs that she had been violated, and she let out a breath of relief.

She lay back down again and looked at the sleeping Su Luo beside her.

Su Luo was awakened by the faint movement beside him.

Opening his eyes, he saw the woman he had treated last night staring straight at him.

"It's good that you're awake."

"Let me say this first: I didn't do anything improper to you."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"I know. Thank you for saving me."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Su Luo. I came here to hunt crystal cores!" Su Luo said calmly as he put on his clothes.

The woman watched Su Luo's unhurried manner.

And asked in confusion, "Aren't you curious who I am? Why I appeared here?"

Hearing that, Su Luo immediately shook his head.

"I'm not curious in the slightest. You're very powerful."

"If someone could beat you into this state, then you must have provoked enormous trouble."

"So I don't want to get caught up in enormous trouble, nor will I ask about any of your affairs."

The woman listened to Su Luo's orderly reasoning.

And secretly nodded.

This kid was quite clever.

He knew never to provoke matters beyond his own capabilities.

"Kid, I will repay you for saving my life."

"Where is your home? After I return, I'll have someone deliver a gift of thanks to you."

Su Luo waved his hand.

"I don't have a home. I live in a hotel."

"And I don't need your gift of thanks."

"It was fate that brought us together, and I happened to save your life. Don't take it to heart."

"No home? You're an orphan? How old are you?" the woman asked in surprise.

Su Luo thought about his current situation.

"I am indeed an orphan. I'm eighteen this year."

Hearing that, the woman glanced at Su Luo's Ability Level.

She was astonished to discover.

That despite Su Luo's young age, his strength had already reached the fifth rank of the Transcendent Realm.

His talent was even slightly higher than that of some descendants of powerful experts.

"Su Luo, where do you want to apply for your first-choice university?" the woman asked.

Su Luo glanced at the woman.

He had no idea why she was asking this question.

What did where he applied have to do with her?

"Why should I tell you?" Su Luo said calmly.

That single sentence left the woman completely choked up.

Ever since childhood, who had not treated her with utmost respect?

Yet this brat who had appeared from who knew where.

Actually dared to speak to her like that.

The old her would have slapped him without hesitation.

But he was her lifesaver.

Doing that seemed somewhat inappropriate.

An idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

The corners of the woman's lips lifted slightly as she slowly said:

"Su Luo, do you know who the three Supreme Experts of Tianlong Kingdom are?"

Hearing this.

Su Luo did not hesitate in the slightest.

Three names immediately rolled off his tongue.

"The strongest power, Moto."

"The strongest battlefield control, Xin Han."

"The strongest transformation, Wu Chongxiao."

The woman nodded in satisfaction after hearing that.

"Then do you know who Moto's daughter, Mo Qinghuan, is?"

Su Luo was just about to shake his head.

When he recalled the news he had seen yesterday and immediately came to his senses.

"You're Mo Qinghuan? The one reported on TV as having disappeared for no reason?" Su Luo asked in surprise.

When Mo Qinghuan heard that she had been reported as missing, she could not quite keep face.

"I didn't disappear for no reason!"

"I was bored and wanted to hunt a powerful Exotic Beast for fun."

"I heard there was a Tier 6 Beast here."

"That was why I came here."

"Who would have thought that Tier 6 Beast had advanced into a Level 7 Exotic Beast."

"As an eighth-rank Sky Walker, I was no match for it at all."

"After taking several attacks from it."

"I knew I was outmatched and turned around to run."

"But who would have thought that thing held quite a grudge and chased me down like mad."

"I forced my body onward for several days before escaping here."

After hearing Mo Qinghuan's words.

Su Luo gained a general understanding of her situation.

Her childhood experiences.

Had shaped her proud and arrogant character.

Yet at critical moments, she still did not lack the proper manners.

"A Level 7 Exotic Beast? Was it a tiger?" Su Luo asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! It was a tiger black from head to toe, called the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger."

"Su Luo, how did you know?" Mo Qinghuan asked curiously.

Hearing that, Su Luo recalled the tiger roar from that morning.

"When I left the city, I heard a tiger roar."

"Even from so far away, I could feel a tremor from deep within my soul."

"I thought only the Level 7 Exotic Beast you mentioned could possess such overwhelming might."

Mo Qinghuan nodded, the corners of her lips rising as she asked with a smile:

"Su Luo, now that you know my identity, how do you feel?"

"Feel? How am I supposed to feel?" Su Luo asked with a frown, puzzled.

Mo Qinghuan listened to Su Luo's tone.

And saw his neither servile nor overbearing manner.

A strange feeling rose in her heart.

She had thought that after revealing her identity.

Su Luo would bow and scrape before her, trying to curry favor with her.

But it seemed she had thought too much.

It was as though her identity meant nothing at all to him.

"Don't you feel even the slightest urge to curry favor with me?"
