Hearing that familiar voice, Yuan Luo looked at the stunning woman with a mournful expression.

The beautiful woman's golden hair had already been dried and hung loose behind her. Her flawless face and exquisite features were breathtaking.

When it came to beauty, if she dared to call herself second, no one would dare claim first.

Perhaps because she had been in too much of a hurry, Qian Renxue had changed into loose clothing. Even so, her graceful figure left Yuan Luo stunned.

People on Douluo Continent matured early. At sixteen, Qian Renxue was already over 1.7 meters tall and possessed the figure of a mature beauty.

Yuan Luo swallowed and stammered, "B-beautiful lady... could you not attack just yet? I want to argue... ah, no, explain myself."

There wasn't a trace of emotion in Qian Renxue's eyes. There was only anger.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring emerged from her body, circling around her without pause.

The golden longsword was drawn from her Storage Soul Tool once more.

"I was wrong, beautiful sister. I really didn't know you were bathing there. I didn't see anything, absolutely nothing."

If only he had a phone. If he did, Yuan Luo would definitely play himself a few mournful songs.

"You truly have quite a few secrets! Your Soul Ring configuration is terrifying, and you can even Voidify your body. My attacks passed straight through you without hurting you. What I most want to know is this: my Third Soul Skill wasn't even at full power, but it still wasn't something a Soul Grandmaster like you could withstand. What exactly did you use to block my Soul Skill?"

Qian Renxue stared directly at Yuan Luo with eyes that could kill, asking curiously.

However, it was obvious that the hand gripping her golden longsword had tightened.

Yuan Luo froze. How was he supposed to answer that?

When could I Voidify? I almost died, all right?

Seeing that Yuan Luo did not answer, Qian Renxue snorted coldly and swiftly launched an attack with her sword.

A streak of golden Sword Qi shot from the blade, heading straight for Yuan Luo.

"You crazy woman, you're really attacking?"

Although this Sword Qi was weak, it seemed Qian Renxue did not intend to kill Yuan Luo yet.

Still, an attack from a Soul King—especially a Soul King with a God-Tier Spirit—was already extremely powerful against a Soul Grandmaster.

Yuan Luo did not dare hold back and directly activated his First Soul Skill.

He poured Soul Power into his longsword and desperately tried to block Qian Renxue's attack.

The Sword Qi collided with the longsword. Before long, a crack appeared in the blade.

Then the longsword snapped, and the Sword Qi slammed directly into Yuan Luo's body.

Fortunately, his enhanced body was tough enough. The Sword Qi merely left a line across his skin and did not pierce it.

"What powerful physical attributes!"

Qian Renxue muttered. Even the defensive power of a defense-type Soul Master at the same level seemed far inferior to Yuan Luo's.

Neither of them noticed that the Sword Qi had struck sideways.

The Sword Qi happened to slice through the stem of a Dao Soul Fruit.

Pink mist unexpectedly began to seep out from it.

In the poorly lit Mountain Cave, neither of them noticed the mist spreading.

"You aren't wearing any defensive equipment. Why is your defense so strong?"

Qian Renxue asked in confusion. In her view, Yuan Luo should have been an assault-type Soul Master, and his defense should not have been this powerful.

Yuan Luo tightly gripped his longsword, his face filled with vigilance.

"Why do you care? Who are you to me?"

Upon hearing those words, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and a faint smile touched her lips.

Just like that, she could attract countless men.

But Yuan Luo had no desire to admire her at the moment.

Suddenly, the hand holding Yuan Luo's sword began to tremble. All his Soul Power vanished, and he collapsed to the ground.

There was not a trace of Soul Power left in his body. Looking at her in confusion, Yuan Luo snapped angrily, "You poisoned me?"

Qian Renxue frowned. She, too, felt as if something was wrong with her body.

"Hmph! This young lady would never stoop to that!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Angel's Blessing!"

Qian Renxue's fourth Soul Ring lit up, and golden light radiated from her body.

Her Fourth Soul Skill could ignore all physical attacks and clear away negative effects from her body.

Under the holy light, Qian Renxue appeared increasingly sacred, like an angel descending into the world. Yuan Luo stared blankly at her. It would be wonderful if I could have such a beautiful fairy-like sister.

The moment that thought appeared, Yuan Luo smacked himself on the head. That woman had just tried to kill him. How could he forget that?

Yuan Luo turned his head slightly and saw that the severed stem of the Dao Soul Fruit Tree was releasing pink gas. The entire Mountain Cave was about to fill with it.

He had only noticed it under the light Qian Renxue was emitting. Otherwise, he would never have seen it.

But at that moment, the Fourth Soul Skill's effect suddenly disappeared, and Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically.

She could no longer sense even a trace of Soul Power.

"How is that possible?"

Qian Renxue frowned. Her Soul Power had completely dispersed, and it had happened while she was using her Fourth Soul Skill. This made no sense at all.

"Hah..."

Yuan Luo felt his body growing hotter and hotter, his skin beginning to flush red.

The restless thoughts in his heart grew stronger as well. The panic in his gaze toward Qian Renxue had somehow turned into greed.

"What did you do?!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. Her condition was no better. Her entire body was paralyzed on the ground, her face flushed red, and she was weak all over.

"Wasn't it you? Look at this Dao Soul Fruit Tree."

Yuan Luo pointed at the stem Qian Renxue had cut through. On closer inspection, pink gas could still be seen pouring out.

Qian Renxue froze, then her face filled with despair.

"It's over! I never thought this was a Dao Soul Fruit. Ancient records state that its stem is the finest ingredient for making Love Potion. It can stir up desire, and there is no cure!"

Yuan Luo propped himself up with both arms, gasping heavily.

"I never expected that in this life, I'd lose my innocence at eight years old."

He viciously bit his arm. Due to his physique, Yuan Luo was not injured, but the pain temporarily restored some of his clarity.

Qian Renxue had already collapsed onto the ground. With the last of her strength, she raised the golden longsword.

"Even if I die, I won't let you defile me!"

Gritting her teeth, she swung the sword directly toward her neck.

But before it reached her neck, the sword stopped in midair.

Following the blade upward, a pair of hands had seized the sword and casually tossed it aside.

Qian Renxue's sword-holding hand fell to the ground as well. She no longer had even a shred of strength.

Her entire body had turned red, trembling uncontrollably.

Yuan Luo's eyes had turned completely crimson, and he breathed heavily through his nose.

He had lost all awareness now. Only the most primitive desire controlled him.

Yuan Luo's condition was the exact opposite of Qian Renxue's. At this moment, he had endless strength.

Riiip!

The sound of clothes tearing echoed out.

Then a pale, naked body appeared before his eyes.

Qian Renxue was worthy of being a Soul King. Even now, she retained a trace of reason, but with no strength left, she could only be a lamb at another's mercy.

"Bastard! Let go of me, don't..."

As the last trace of her reason disappeared, tears slipped from the corners of Qian Renxue's eyes.

Qian Renxue slowly raised her arms and wrapped them around Yuan Luo's neck.

Just like that, their bodies pressed together.

Then faint, fragile sounds drifted through the cave, accompanied by waves of friction.

I worked all day—ten thousand words for you!
