The First Spirit Ring That Came Knocking

"Mm..."

"Qian Daoliu... let go of me..."

Le Ling was furious after being suddenly force-kissed by him. She struggled nonstop!

But her hands were tightly seized by one of the man's large hands and pinned behind her back.

She could not break free at all!!

Since her hands could not move, she would use her mouth instead.

Without hesitation, Le Ling bit down on Qian Daoliu's lips.

"Hiss..."

That bite snapped Qian Daoliu out of his jealousy and anger.

Pulling away from her lips, he realized he had acted on impulse!

"Force-kiss me again, and I'll bite your tongue off!"

Le Ling glared at him, her face flushed with anger.

"My hands hurt so much. Let go of me!!!"

Hearing her displeased words, Qian Daoliu immediately released her hands.

But while he let go of her hands, he did not let go of her. He still held her close, his forehead pressed against hers.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry! Just now, I..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

There was something unusual nearby!

A strange gust of wind suddenly swept through the area.

The wings of the Six-winged Angel behind Qian Daoliu swiftly unfurled. He wrapped an arm around Le Ling's slender waist and carried her rapidly into the air.

Just as the two of them left the ground, a tiger's roar suddenly rang out.

Then, where they had just been standing, a Soul Beast suddenly appeared. Its entire body was crimson, as though wrapped in flames, and it resembled a tiger.

The moment Le Ling saw the Soul Beast, excitement surged through her heart!

A Blazing Tiger!

A fire-attributed tiger Soul Beast with powerful offensive abilities.

Judging by its body length, it had exactly ten to twenty thousand years of cultivation.

It was perfect!

She had wasted all of yesterday searching through the forest without finding anything.

She had not expected this Blazing Tiger to deliver itself right to her door today. Then don't blame this Princess for using you as a spirit ring!

"Ling'er, let me handle it. You can finish it off with the final blow!"

"I don't need your help!"

Le Ling reached out and pushed away Qian Daoliu's arm around her waist. Then she immediately summoned her martial soul and charged toward the Blazing Tiger.

"Roar..."

The Blazing Tiger let out several tiger roars at the human woman rushing toward it, trying to intimidate its enemy.

The corners of Le Ling's lips curled up slightly. The color of her lively eyes suddenly turned flame-red.

Her beautiful eyes instantly entered the Blazing Tiger's vision!

At that moment, an illusory female Blazing Tiger appeared before the Blazing Tiger's eyes, constantly seducing it.

This was Phantom, the second Innate Skill granted by Le Ling's Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox Sacred Body. It created an illusory, seductive false image within the target's consciousness.

It was a spiritual control skill that lasted three seconds, though it was currently ineffective against Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level or above, as well as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

The intimidating tiger roars abruptly ceased.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Le Ling quickly arrived before the Blazing Tiger. A nimble fox tail extended from behind her toward its body.

Just as the fox tail was about to wrap around the Blazing Tiger's body, it suddenly broke free from Phantom's control and regained its senses. At once, it fired rings of flame from its mouth.

That was the Blazing Tiger's attack skill, Flame Ring Slash.

Le Ling swiftly retracted her fox tail and rapidly retreated to evade the fire rings.

Fortunately, she had pulled back her fox tail in time. Otherwise, those fire rings would have severed it!

Looking at the small scorched patch on her fox tail, she instantly snapped. "Stupid tiger, you're courting death!!"

She treasured this fox tail most of all!

When she had nothing to do, she would even stroke it herself. Now that she saw the fire rings had singed off a bit of its fur, Princess Le Ling's hackles immediately rose!

Without hesitation, she charged at the Blazing Tiger.

Meanwhile, the Blazing Tiger continuously fired fire rings from its mouth to attack Le Ling.

Le Ling darted and dodged quickly. She was not in a hurry to counterattack; she was waiting for an opportunity.

The continuous barrage of attacks gradually increased the Blazing Tiger's exhaustion!

In contrast, with her nimble agility and the swaying of her fox tail, Le Ling effortlessly evaded the endless stream of incoming fire rings time and again.

Just then, the Blazing Tiger showed a momentary lapse in concentration.

Seizing the opportunity, Le Ling extended her fox tail once more. Though the distance was a little far this time, she lengthened her fox tail to three meters.

It instantly wrapped around the Blazing Tiger's abdomen.

With a fierce pull and slam, she whipped the Blazing Tiger around several times before violently smashing it into a large tree behind it.

Under the immense impact, the trunk snapped, and the entire tree crashed down.

The Blazing Tiger was thrown onto the ground as well.

It struggled several times, yet still could not stand!

Though its body could not move, its tiger mouth still released low, furious growls at Le Ling!

At this moment, Qian Daoliu, who had been observing the battle from afar, descended to the ground and walked toward Le Ling.

At the same time, he took a short blade from his Storage Soul Guiding Device and handed it to her once he approached.

Taking the short blade, Le Ling walked up to the Blazing Tiger lying on the ground and growling. She swiftly brought the blade down on its throat, ending its life!

A black Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring slowly rose from the tiger's body.

Qian Daoliu walked to her side, removed the Storage Soul Guiding Device ring from his own hand, then took her right hand and tried to slide it onto her ring finger.

"This storage ring is for you."

Le Ling immediately withdrew her hand and tossed the short blade back to him.

She refused to accept anything from him!

She sat down directly where she was and began absorbing the Blazing Tiger's spirit ring, not saying a single word to him from beginning to end!

Qian Daoliu knew she was still angry about him force-kissing her earlier.

Indeed, he had acted on impulse!

For now, he could only wait until she finished absorbing the spirit ring. Helplessly, he sat down cross-legged to cultivate and waited for her to absorb it.

Although it was Le Ling's first time absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring,

the spiritual shock produced by the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring had no effect whatsoever on someone with the Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox Sacred Body.

During the absorption process, she completely suppressed the Blazing Tiger's soul, so she absorbed its spirit ring very smoothly!

An hour later, the spirit ring had been completely absorbed.

Unlike the spirit rings of other Soul Masters, Le Ling's absorbed spirit ring did not circle around her body. Instead, it circled around that fox tail.

She opened her eyes and swung the fox tail in front of herself to inspect the scorched area from earlier.

"Stupid tiger, it burned off a little fur. It looks so ugly! When will it grow back? It doesn't even feel nice to stroke anymore!!"

Hearing her muttering to herself, Qian Daoliu, who was sitting cross-legged behind her, stopped cultivating and opened his eyes to look at her.

Seeing her constantly picking at the burned spot on her fox tail with such an unhappy expression, the man could not help but laugh.

She was still as adorable as before. She had always liked playing with that fox tail, and would even groom it from time to time.

Not only did she groom her fox tail, she also groomed his wings. And stroking her own fox tail was not enough—she had to stroke his wings too!

Back then, she often left Qian Daoliu both amused and exasperated!

Thinking of this, and wanting to cheer her up, the man deliberately spread his wings and brought them before her.

"Ling'er, no one has helped groom the feathers on my wings in a long time either. Could you groom them for me too?"

Qian Daoliu rested his chin on one hand and looked at her with a smile.

Le Ling shot him a sidelong glance.

Groom your feathers? This Princess would already be showing you mercy by not plucking them all out!

Hmph!!

Angrily, she withdrew her martial soul, stood up, and walked straight ahead to continue searching for a second Soul Beast suitable for a spirit ring.
