In the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Han watched Tang San absorb the two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider without the slightest concern.
Things like protagonist halos were impossible to explain.
"A bad luck magnet should be arriving soon!" Ye Han said casually as he looked around.
Zhao Lei, who did not know what was going on, asked in confusion, "What bad luck magnet? And shouldn't we hurry up and look for that Little Girl?"
Ye Han stretched lazily and said with complete confidence, "You'll know soon enough. As for Xiao Wu, she'll come out herself later. Why should we go looking? Isn't sitting here comfortable?"
Though Zhao Lei did not understand, he still chose to trust Ye Han.
Sure enough, before long, three figures came racing over from afar. They were none other than the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple and their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
"Look, the bad luck magnets are here! Uncle Zhao, hide first!"
Ye Han's words made Zhao Lei look toward Meng Yiran and the others. He finally understood what Ye Han meant and gave Tang San an odd look.
"It's you again!" The moment she saw Ye Han, Meng Yiran recognized him. Then, seeing Tang San absorbing a Soul Ring, she nearly had a stroke from rage. "You're together!"
Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu exchanged a glance, surveyed their surroundings, and asked pleasantly, "Little friend Ye Han, we meet again. Where are your companions and teacher?"
"They're over there hunting Soul Beasts," Ye Han replied casually.
Sure enough, the moment Ye Han spoke, a trace of Killing Intent flashed through Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu's eyes, though it came and went quickly.
"Little friend Ye Han, you've stolen our Soul Beasts more than once. Isn't that a little unreasonable?" Chao Tianxiang said with an unfriendly expression.
Ye Han was not flustered in the slightest. "What do you mean, stolen? Do I really have to repeat myself?"
Meng Shu, standing to the side, did not understand the situation and greatly disliked Ye Han's tone. "Boy, your teacher isn't by your side right now. You'd better be careful."
At Meng Shu's words, Ye Han slowly got up from the ground and dusted off his clothes. With a cold expression, he said, "You weren't there before, Senior Meng Shu, so I'll say it again. Surely no one thinks a Soul Douluo and a Soul Emperor could let a Man Faced Demon Spider get away, right?"
"Besides, I'll say this again: if you want to kill me, be decisive about it. But once you decide to make a move, you'd better be prepared to pay the price!"
Even though Chao Tianxiang had experienced Ye Han's sarcastic manner before, she was still extremely displeased. But when she thought of the Titled Douluo within the Star Dou Great Forest, she decided to endure it.
"We do not mean to blame you, little friend. It's just that this matter has become something of a knot in my granddaughter's heart," Chao Tianxiang said with a sigh.
"Then what do you want to do? The Soul Ring is already being absorbed, and this Man Faced Demon Spider was two thousand years old. I saved your granddaughter, you know!"
Ye Han's words shocked Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu. If this Man Faced Demon Spider truly had been two thousand years old, then Meng Yiran would certainly have died if she had absorbed it.
"Then this little friend Tang San is...?" Chao Tianxiang asked doubtfully as she looked at Tang San, who was absorbing the Soul Ring.
"He's the protagonist. He won't die, so don't worry! Even if something really happens, his father, the Clear Sky Douluo, will come back to settle it!" Ye Han's casual words made the two of them even less willing to act.
What the hell were these backgrounds? How had even a terrifying existence like the Clear Sky Douluo appeared?
Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu understood. There was no way they could demand an explanation today. The best thing to do now was tuck their tails between their legs and leave.
"Let's go, Yiran!" Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang sighed.
"No! Why should I endure it when they stole my Soul Beast? And this isn't even the first time! I refuse to accept it!" Meng Yiran shouted in distress.
"Then what do you want to do?" Ye Han had some disdain for spoiled rich girls like her. If he did not have some backing himself, did she think the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple would have spared him?
"I want to duel you! If you lose, you have to bring him and apologize to me!" Meng Yiran said angrily.
"Sure. If someone wants a beating, Ye Han naturally won't refuse."
"Hmph! At least you have some courage. Meng Yiran, Martial Soul: Serpent Cane, Rank 30, Two-Ring Power Attack Type War Soul Grandmaster!"
"Ye Han, Martial Soul: Gate of Babylon, Rank 30, Two-Ring Long-Range Attack Type War Soul Grandmaster!"
After the two sides amicably exchanged information, Ye Han vanished from where he stood. A longsword was already resting against Meng Yiran's neck just as she was about to unleash a Soul Skill.
"Game over. You lost!"
The sudden development caught not only Meng Yiran off guard, but even Meng Shu had not expected his proud granddaughter to be instantly defeated without lasting even one move.
"You! This..." Meng Yiran was so furious that she did not know what to say.
"Just go. Stop bothering me, okay?" Ye Han said impatiently.
"I refuse to accept this. Let's do it again!"
Ye Han had a slight headache when faced with Meng Yiran's behavior. Then he looked deeply at the three people before him.
"Honestly, I don't care about any of you at all. But things have come to this, and you still won't discipline your granddaughter, so let me teach her a lesson: don't push your luck! Uncle Zhao!"
As Ye Han's words fell, Zhao Lei appeared at his side. The nine Soul Rings around him unmistakably declared his identity to the three before him.
The pressure of a Rank 97 existence crushed the three of them until they could barely breathe. What Peerless Dragon Serpent being able to rival a Titled Douluo? That depended on the rank.
"Senior, we had no intention of offending you! We'll leave at once!" Meng Shu did not even care whether Meng Yiran agreed. He immediately took his granddaughter and fled.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done that from the start? And you little rabbit over there, come out already. What are you squatting in the grass for?" After watching the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple leave, Ye Han looked to the other side and spoke.
Xiao Wu, hiding in the bushes, jumped in fright and did not know whether she should come out.
She had originally come looking for Tang San, but then she saw Ye Han beside him. With Meng Shu previously being a Soul Douluo and Zhao Lei appearing afterward, she had become even more afraid to show herself.
Bang!
Since Xiao Wu was unwilling to come out herself, Ye Han gave Zhao Lei a look. Xiao Wu was promptly dragged out and thrown onto the ground.
"Why are you hiding in front of a Titled Douluo?" Ye Han said speechlessly.
"You!" Xiao Wu had wanted to explain herself, but the next instant, she saw the Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground and immediately shouted at Ye Han in agitation, "How could you let Third Brother absorb that Soul Beast? It's two thousand years old!"
Listening to Xiao Wu chatter away, Ye Han picked at his ear. "Quiet. Otherwise, do you believe that in a moment, you'll become a Soul Ring with a Soul Bone?"
Ye Han's words carried immense intimidation. Xiao Wu also realized her situation and instinctively took several steps back, though she still stood in front of Tang San.
Why am I acting like some villain? Ye Han silently complained.
"Brother Ye, stop scaring Xiao Wu!" Tang San's voice came from behind Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu, who had been on guard, was overjoyed. But when she turned around, her face instantly flushed bright red.
Ye Han smiled teasingly. "Oh? Tang San, you've got quite the assets there!"
At Ye Han's teasing, Tang San lowered his head and discovered that he was completely naked. He hurriedly took clothes from his Soul Tool and put them on.
"Third Brother! It's wonderful that you're alright!" Xiao Wu threw herself into Tang San's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Tang San comfortingly stroked Xiao Wu's head and said softly, "This time, it was my fault. Next time, I'll definitely protect you!"
Ye Han could only marvel from the side. Well, damn. I'll take this bowl of dog food. You two do whatever you want. This is ridiculous!
"What are you doing? Broad daylight, out in public, openly doing this sort of thing! Do you have no sense of propriety?" Ye Han directly interrupted their lovey-dovey moment.
One bowl was enough. Too much of that stuff was bad for the body.
"Hmph! You're annoying!" Xiao Wu gave Ye Han an unhappy look, but did not dare to say it outright.
"Alright, let's go! Your Teacher Zhao is with us! We need to hurry!"
With the Guild Chat, Ye Han quickly arrived at the meeting place.
"Teacher Zhao!" Tang San hurried forward when he saw everyone covered in wounds.
"Good kid, it's good that you're alright! And Xiao Wu, the two of you are truly blessed!" Zhao Wuji said with a delighted smile as he looked at the unharmed Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Jade Flute Mianxia, it has been a long time! Thank you for what happened this time!" As someone from a great clan, Ning Rongrong naturally had the proper etiquette.
However, Ning Rongrong's words shocked everyone else. There was the Poison Douluo over there, and now there was another Titled Douluo here.
What kind of organization was this? Getting a third Soul Ring, yet they had brought along two Titled Douluo? Wasn't that excessive?
Zhao Wuji also reacted quickly and said respectfully, "Many thanks to little friend Ye Han and Jade Flute Mianxia!"
"It's nothing! We were simply getting what we each needed! So long as Ning Rongrong doesn't forget her promise!" Ye Han looked meaningfully at Ning Rongrong.
"Hmph! Don't worry, I'll tell my father about this promise when I return! But if you think it'll be fulfilled, keep dreaming!" Ning Rongrong said unhappily.
Ye Han merely shrugged and said casually, "Who can say for sure? We'll continue searching for Soul Rings next. What about you?"
At that, Zhao Wuji looked toward Tang San. The latter hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhao, I've already obtained my Soul Ring. Let's go back!"
"Alright! In that case, we'll take our leave first!" Zhao Wuji respectfully bowed to Dugu Bo and Zhao Lei.
"Ye Han, thank you for this time! If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word!" Tang San said seriously.
Ye Han waved his hand. "Don't worry, we'll meet again very soon! I hope you can grow stronger quickly!"
