Throwing Herself into His Arms, Taking Liberties with Hu Liena

"Little sister, little sister, so many ants—I'm so scared."

Sun Sheng glanced at the Goliath Ants closing in, a flicker of cunning flashing in his eyes. He pretended to be frightened, wrapping his arms around Hu Liena from the front and burying his head in her chest.

Since Sun Sheng was still young and not tall, he was exactly a head shorter than Hu Liena.

This scene!

Mm!

So fragrant!

"Little brother, don't be afraid—big sister is here."

With the situation tense, Hu Liena was on high alert. She fully understood Sun Sheng's fear and didn't think much of it, patiently comforting him instead.

But Xie Yue and Yan saw it differently.

This was blatant groping.

Despicable!

Hateful!

He must die!

He must die!

Xie Yue and Yan watched, flames of fury blazing in their eyes.

Yan especially clenched his fists, a burst of fire igniting on his body. Except for his face, he was entirely red, and chaotic Soul Power erupted from within.

Clearly, Yan was on the verge of exploding.

"Brother Yan, you handle that Goliath Ant King. The two of us will take care of the rest of the Goliath Ant swarm. As soon as there's a chance, we'll get out of here."

Hu Liena made Sun Sheng hide behind her and decisively summoned her spirit.

A fluffy, large tail grew from behind her back, making her more beautiful and seductive.

"Alright!"

Yan and Xie Yue exchanged a glance and summoned their spirits in turn.

No matter what, they had to put on a good act.

They couldn't let Hu Liena see that they were deliberately setting Sun Sheng up.

A towering red figure emerged behind Yan, turning the area into a sea of flames.

The temperature around them shot up several degrees.

Meanwhile, a crescent-shaped blade appeared in Xie Yue's hand, gleaming with a faint, cold light.

His aura grew more sinister and icy.

The four soul rings on each of the three were the best configuration on the Douluo Continent: yellow, yellow, purple, purple.

"Good grief, no wonder they're the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall. Yan's Flame Lord Spirit and Xie Yue's Moon Blade Spirit are truly formidable."

Sun Sheng's expression shifted slightly as he looked at Yan and Xie Yue's spirits.

Indeed, if Tang San hadn't existed on the Douluo Continent, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan would have truly been worthy of the title Golden Generation—the future pillars of Martial Soul Hall.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Lava Surge!"

Yan struck first. His first soul ring lit up, and a fiery red lava geyser erupted in front of the Goliath Ant King.

The scorching lava flow forced it back several meters.

It was clear just how powerful his first soul skill was.

The few hundred-year Goliath Ants near the lava flow were instantly roasted, giving off a faint meaty scent, while yellow soul rings appeared on their corpses.

Then Yan charged straight out, heading for the Goliath Ant King.

His goal was simple: hold the line, stall for time, let the remaining Goliath Ant swarm pressure Hu Liena, and kill Sun Sheng by ambush.

"Second Soul Skill, Guard!"

Xie Yue followed up. His second yellow soul ring lit up, and the Moon Blade in his hand shot out swiftly, turning into a vicious, cold gleam that spun in a circle around them.

In an instant, over a dozen charging hundred-year Goliath Ants were sliced in half.

Under Xie Yue's control, the Moon Blade continued its assault on the ant swarm.

He himself charged out as well, aiming to create a situation where Hu Liena and Sun Sheng were surrounded by the Goliath Ants.

At that point, Hu Liena would inevitably be distracted, unable to watch over Sun Sheng.

Then Sun Sheng's nightmare would begin.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox Fire Command!"

"Third Soul Skill, Demon Fox Transformation!"

Yan and Xie Yue's plan succeeded.

Before long, Hu Liena and Sun Sheng were completely surrounded by the Goliath ant swarm.

To protect Sun Sheng, Hu Liena went all out, using her second and third spirit skills—her most powerful attacks—to hold them off.

But her martial soul was a demon fox, not a strong-attack type; its offensive power was limited, while the Goliath ants boasted formidable defense and astonishing strength.

On her own, she simply couldn't withstand the siege of over a hundred century-old Goliath ants and more than a dozen millennium-old ones.

On top of that, Sun Sheng was coasting along, deliberately hiding his strength.

In no time, she was locked in a bitter struggle, gradually showing signs of being unable to spare any attention.

Watching Hu Liena constantly beat back the surging Goliath ants to protect him, Sun Sheng was deeply moved.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged her.

Hu Liena was worth having.

Off to the side, Yan was gleefully tormenting the Goliath Ant King without killing it outright, while Xie Yue tangled with over two hundred century-old Goliath ants and more than twenty millennium-old ones.

When they saw Hu Liena struggling, unable to look after Sun Sheng, their faces twisted into sinister grins.

Their plan had finally paid off.

That infuriating brat was about to meet his end.

Bam!

At last, Hu Liena couldn't hold out any longer.

A millennium-old Goliath ant landed a sneak attack, sending her flying. A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

She was clearly injured.

Seeing this, Sun Sheng's expression shifted slightly. He swung his staff, knocking several century-old Goliath ants away from him, then held his arms out flat and caught her just as she was about to hit the ground.

"Little sister, you've worked hard. From now on, I'll protect you."

Breathing in the faint, delicate fragrance that washed over him, Sun Sheng looked down at the girl in his arms and smiled lightly.

That handsome, smiling face instantly captivated Hu Liena.

Her charming little face flushed crimson, like a ripe apple, as shy as a bashful girl.

Sun Sheng gently set Hu Liena down, stroked her tail, then turned to face the Goliath ant swarm charging at him.

In an instant, the smile vanished from his face, replaced by an icy, brutal ferocity.

"How dare you hurt my little sister—you all deserve to die!"

Sun Sheng roared with savage fury. The Million-Year Spirit Ring flickered repeatedly, releasing a blinding white radiance.

His martial soul also began to change at that moment, its pitch-black iron casing flaking off to reveal the true form of the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

At the same time, a domineering, unruly aura erupted from Sun Sheng's body.

Like a ferocious beast, he raised his staff and charged into the Goliath ant swarm.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Sun Sheng rampaged through the Goliath ants, sweeping his staff to send several flying with each swing.

Whether they were millennium-old or century-old Goliath ants, it made no difference—they were all knocked away like stones.

Every ant that was sent flying, be it a century-old or a thousand-year-old one, died on the spot.

His Armor Break spirit skill ignored all defenses; the Goliath ants' hard carapaces were utterly useless.

Whenever a Goliath ant got close to Hu Liena, he would unhesitatingly smash it away and kill it.

Hu Liena, watching Sun Sheng like a war god before her, was gradually swept up by his strength and dominance, staring at him in a daze.

"So strong, so handsome, so manly."

Suddenly, Hu Liena murmured to herself, a hint of infatuation blooming in her eyes.
