Third Soul Ring Successfully Absorbed—Qian Daoliu's Indirect Domestic Abuse!

From Le Ling's reaction and the words she had said to the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox, Qian Daoliu could roughly guess what the fox had shown his Ling'er just now.

He immediately rushed anxiously to Le Ling's side.

"Ling'er, listen to my explanation. Things aren't what you saw..."

"Don't touch me!!!"

Le Ling was extremely resistant to his approach.

Without even sparing the man a glance, she walked straight past him toward the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's already dead body.

Qian Daoliu hurriedly followed.

Suddenly, a purplish-red light flashed. The two of them saw a soul bone appear around the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's head.

Qian Daoliu said delightedly, "It's the Spirit-Concentrated Bewitching Skull! Ling'er, this head soul bone suits you quite well."

Le Ling was delighted upon seeing the soul bone as well. At least these four days of wandering around Sunset Forest hadn't been for nothing!

She walked over, stored the head soul bone in her storage ring first, then sat cross-legged on the spot and began absorbing the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's soul ring.

Qian Daoliu had previously heard her say that her Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox Sacred Body had strong compatibility, so even a soul beast with sixty thousand years of cultivation could be absorbed by her.

But she still could not absorb one with a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Perhaps she would have to cultivate her Soul Power Level to the Soul Douluo rank before she could absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Qian Daoliu sat down as well and waited for her to absorb the soul ring.

He had cultivated while waiting the previous two times, but because Le Ling had been so resistant toward him and even sternly rebuked him just now, he had no mood to cultivate at all this time.

He kept watching her from the side, wondering what he should do!

An hour later.

The Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's soul ring had been successfully absorbed.

A third fox tail appeared behind Le Ling, where there had originally been only two.

The Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's soul ring circled above that third tail, and Le Ling also gained the Three-Eyed Demonic Fox's clone skill.

She opened her eyes. By then, the sky was beginning to brighten.

She had originally intended to absorb the head soul bone next, but this was a dangerous forest after all.

After giving it some thought, since the head soul bone did not have a time limit like a soul ring, she decided it would be better to return to Spirit Hall and absorb it in a safe environment.

Qian Daoliu, seated beside her, thought the same, so he did not suggest that she absorb the head soul bone right away.

"Ling'er, let's leave this place first." As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to carry her out of the forest.

But Le Ling knew what he intended to do.

She turned aside to avoid his outstretched arms and headed directly toward the edge of the forest.

Qian Daoliu flashed after her.

"Ling'er, we walked for three days before. We're already very far from the outskirts of Sunset Forest now. It'll take quite a while if we walk, so let me carry you and fly out, all right?"

Le Ling still ignored him and continued onward.

Since she was unwilling, Qian Daoliu did not dare forcibly carry her away either. He knew that doing so now would only make her even angrier!

With no other choice, he could only accompany her out of Sunset Forest on foot.

After finally accompanying Ling'er into the forest to hunt soul beasts these past few days, their relationship had eased a little.

Yet they had run into that damned Three-Eyed Demonic Fox, which had trapped Ling'er in an illusion and shown her some unpleasant things, sending their relationship right back to square one.

If that Three-Eyed Demonic Fox had not already been dead, Qian Daoliu truly would have wanted to brutally torture it and then whip its corpse!!

The two of them walked for an entire day and night before finally leaving Sunset Forest the following morning.

By the time they returned to the hotel in the nearby town, it was already noon.

Over the past few days, Steward Yao had still come out to wait by the hotel entrance for an hour at noon and in the evening, returning to the hotel when he failed to see them.

Today, the moment he stepped out of the hotel, he saw the two of them walking toward it from a distance.

"My lord, Miss Le Ling, you've finally returned."

Steward Yao happily went forward to greet them.

Le Ling ignored the enthusiastic steward and headed straight for the restaurant beside them.

From that day until now, she had remained in this state and had not said a single word to Qian Daoliu.

She even took food from her storage ring to eat by herself at noon and at night, refusing to give Qian Daoliu any!

As she ate, Le Ling thought, You were the one who insisted on giving me this storage ring, so I'll starve you to death, Princess or not!

After sensing her thoughts, Qian Daoliu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

But since Ling'er wanted to starve him, he could only endure it!

Thus, from yesterday until today, he had not eaten anything. Whenever Le Ling ate, he could only sit cross-legged and cultivate to fight off his hunger.

Fortunately, as a Peerless Douluo with a Soul Power Level of ninety-nine, he did not need to eat much to begin with, so he did not feel terribly hungry!

Seeing that Miss Le Ling was ignoring everyone, Steward Yao looked at his master in confusion.

"My lord, what's wrong with Miss Le Ling?"

He remembered that before entering Sunset Forest three days ago, the two of them had been getting along quite well.

At the very least, Miss Le Ling had still spoken to people. Why was she suddenly as cold as ice today?!

A woman's heart truly was as unfathomable as the depths of the sea!

Qian Daoliu looked at Le Ling's retreating back as she walked toward the restaurant, then reminded the steward, "Ling'er is in a very unstable mood right now. Try not to provoke her."

"Otherwise, if she wants to beat you up someday, I can only do as she wishes and beat you up myself!"

"Ah!"

Steward Yao was completely dumbfounded!

My lord, did such heartless words really come from your mouth?!

My lord, you weren't like this before!

You used to distinguish right from wrong and stick to your principles. How did you change after Miss Le Ling appeared?!

Qian Daoliu ignored the protest in the steward's eyes and instructed, "Go back to your room later and pack our things. Check out as well. After Ling'er and I finish lunch, we'll return to Spirit City."

"Yes, my lord."

Steward Yao replied with a resentful expression before turning and returning to the hotel.

Qian Daoliu quickly headed toward the restaurant. Besides accompanying Le Ling for lunch, he needed to eat something himself.

After all, he had been starved for an entire day and night!

It would have been one thing if she did not give him food, but she had not even let him have a sip of water!

Ling'er was indirectly committing domestic abuse against him!

Qian Daoliu, the Great Offering of Spirit Hall and a Peerless Douluo with a Soul Power Level as high as ninety-nine, did not even know whom he could complain to!!

Forget it. Once they returned, he would go to Worship Hall and vent to his brothers.

Though his brothers could not help him with anything, it would still be good if they could listen to him vent!

Qian Daoliu touched his upper pocket. Fortunately, he still had a few Gold Soul Coins. If he had put them all in the storage ring, he truly would not even have been able to afford this meal!

An hour later.

The two of them finished lunch and walked out of the restaurant.

Steward Yao had also completed the checkout procedures and drove the carriage to a stop in front of them.

After Le Ling and Qian Daoliu boarded the carriage, he cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly left the town, heading toward Spirit City.

Le Ling was extremely satisfied with the three soul rings and one head soul bone she had obtained this time!

Especially that head soul bone—at least she had not wasted several days in the forest for nothing!

But her feelings toward Qian Daoliu had become even more complicated.

She both loved and hated him.

She no longer knew how she should get along with him!
