Meng Yiran: Who Dares Steal My Spirit Beast

In the evening, inside a small town inn.

Yu Tiancheng sat in a corner and ordered a few dishes.

The inn was not large, but it was very clean. At this moment, there were only two or three tables of guests.

He ate while planning his itinerary for the next day.

"At this speed, I can reach the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest by noon tomorrow."

"But my spirit power hasn't reached level twenty yet, so I can't get my Second Soul Ring."

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. If the diary rewards me with two levels tomorrow, I'll go get the soul ring directly. If not, I'll wait a few more days."

Thinking of this, he remembered that he hadn't written in his diary today.

Just as he was thinking, the inn door was pushed open.

A group of people walked in.

Leading the way was a purple-haired girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, and with a beautiful face. Her purple hair shimmered under the light, and her purple eyes held a hint of arrogance and liveliness.

Behind her followed an elderly couple. The old man was tall, with white hair, holding a strangely shaped dragon-head cane. The old woman was hunched over, leaning on a snake-head cane, but her eyes were exceptionally sharp as she scanned the inn.

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's stay here tonight," the purple-haired girl said, her voice clear and crisp.

"Alright. We'll stay wherever Yiran says," the old man said with a doting smile.

Yu Tiancheng's eyes lit up.

Meng Yiran! The Peerless Dragon Snake couple! I didn't expect to meet them here.

He lowered his head to avoid being noticed, while pricking up his ears to listen to their conversation.

"Yiran, after entering the forest tomorrow, you must stick close to us," Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang instructed, her voice gentle but with an undeniable authority.

"I know, Grandma. I'm not a child anymore," Meng Yiran muttered.

"We must find a suitable Third Soul Ring for you this time," Dragon Duke Meng Shu said in a deep voice. "Your Martial Soul is the Serpent Cane. The most suitable would naturally be a snake-type Spirit Beast, but if you encounter any other suitable ones, don't miss them."

Third Soul Ring.

Yu Tiancheng pondered in his heart.

In the original story, Meng Yiran competed with Shrek for the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and lost in the end. Later, when hunting the Human-faced Demon Pearl, she met Tang San again and lost again.

"She's also a pitiable person..."

Since he hadn't written in his diary today, he willed it, and the diary began to write itself in his mind.

[Traveled for a whole day and settled down in a small town one day's journey from the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[Didn't expect to meet Meng Yiran and the Peerless Dragon Snake couple here!]

[Meng Yiran is even more beautiful in person than described in the original work, with purple hair and purple eyes, a tall figure, and a unique temperament, possessing a wild yet proud beauty.]

[However, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood, probably worrying about her third soul ring.]

[She had a pretty rough time in the original work; the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent she fancied was snatched by Oscar, and later the Human-faced Demon Pearl was taken by Tang San.]

[Having her spirit beast snatched twice in a row would make anyone depressed.]

[But honestly, the Peerless Dragon Snake couple dotes on their granddaughter immensely. The Dragon Duke is a Soul Douluo, the Snake Dowager is a Soul Saint, and they even have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. They can walk sideways around the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[It's a pity they ran into the Protagonist Group... In the face of the protagonist's halo, no matter how strong you are, you have to make way.]

[If we extrapolate from this, the Shrek people should also be arriving soon. I just don't know when, and I wonder if there will be any changes this time.]

[Speaking of which, I'm entering the forest the day after tomorrow. I hope to successfully break through level 20.]

[Time Dragon Emperor Martial Soul's second soul ring... The pressure is immense.]

[Going to sleep. Will continue traveling tomorrow morning.]

[Diary entry complete.]

[Rewards will be settled uniformly at dawn the next day.]

After finishing the diary, Yu Tiancheng's food was served, and he began to eat.

At the next table, Meng Yiran was drinking water when she suddenly choked.

She was reading the diary Yu Tiancheng had written.

Yesterday, while she was cultivating, she suddenly received this diary. At first, she dismissed it as a prank.

But this morning, she suddenly received a reward—her spirit power increased by one level.

This allowed her to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring.

It also made her begin to believe in the magic of this diary.

Just now, she felt the diary suddenly update. Thinking that her food hadn't arrived yet, she decided to take a quick look.

She never expected that upon reading it...

"How can this person be so frivolous?" Her small face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously touched her cheeks.

[Meng Yiran is even more beautiful in person than described in the original work... possessing a wild yet proud beauty.]

This direct praise made her heart race, but it was more embarrassment and annoyance. Since she was young, no one had dared to evaluate her like this.

At the same time, she realized that this Yu Tiancheng was probably nearby, otherwise how would he know what she looked like?

She looked around. Although there weren't many people in the inn, there were still seven or eight guests. Moreover, Yu Tiancheng hadn't mentioned what he looked like, so she couldn't recognize him at all.

Never mind, let's keep reading.

[In the original work, she had a pretty miserable time... and the Human-faced Demon Pearl was snatched by Tang San.]

Her hand trembled slightly with anger.

"Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent... Human-faced Demon Pearl... snatched?"

She clenched her water cup, and under the immense force, the cup even cracked slightly, emitting a faint "crack" sound.

"Snatching my Spirit Beast?" A cold light flashed in Meng Yiran's eyes, "I'd like to see if you have the ability!"

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple beside her also noticed their granddaughter's abnormality.

"What's wrong? Yiran?" Chao Tianxiang's sharp gaze swept over the water cup in her granddaughter's hand.

"It's nothing, Grandma." Meng Yiran released her hand and put down the water cup, "I was just thinking about tomorrow's hunt and got a little excited."

She paused and added, "This time when we encounter Spirit Beasts, we must act directly and not leave any other chances. If anyone dares to snatch them... then let them know the might of the Peerless Dragon Snake!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu chuckled and tapped his dragon-headed cane on the ground, "That's natural. Your grandmother and I will definitely find the most suitable Spirit Beast for you. Anyone who dares to snatch it will know regret!"

Hearing her grandfather's words, Meng Yiran felt slightly relieved, but she had already secretly decided: this time entering the forest, she must finish quickly and not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of!

Martial Soul City, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong leaned on her throne and raised an eyebrow upon seeing the diary update.

"Meng Yiran... the granddaughter of the Peerless Dragon Snake."

"Shrek Academy..."

She continued reading and saw the words "protagonist's halo," a flicker of confusion in her eyes.

"Protagonist's halo? What does that mean?"

This Yu Tiancheng always spoke so strangely.

And why was Shrek Academy always involved? Could it be... that this academy held some hidden mystery?

"However, it's interesting for Shrek Academy and the Peerless Dragon Snake to clash." Bibi Dong's lips curved into a playful smile, "If they can both suffer heavy losses, it would be a good thing for my Martial Soul Hall."

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne.

"Yu Tiancheng is also in the Star Dou Great Forest... It seems I need to have Yue Guan and the others speed things up."
