Electrolux (Part 2)

The person was only wearing trousers, their upper body bare, revealing a perfect physique as if forged by the heavens. However, their fair skin was still stained with specks of blood, and their face was incredibly pale, their eyes filled with exhaustion.

It was Moyuan, having exited his three-stage extreme blood-boiling state. After obtaining the shedding of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had rushed back. Doing so was also to prevent the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from knowing his true identity.

After all, Moyuan in his Dragonification state was even more monstrous than an Evil Soul Master. If Huo Yuhao were to see his other side, it would be detrimental to many future plans.

"Moyuan, what's wrong?! What happened just now?"

Ning Tian was stunned upon seeing Moyuan's state. Her moist, crimson lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. She quickly moved to Moyuan's side and gently supported him.

"I'm fine," Moyuan shook his head, then presented the prepared explanation.

"Just now, we encountered a very rare Heart Seizing Beast. It controlled your minds, causing you to fall into a daze. Fortunately, due to my Martial Soul, I was able to break free from its control. I went to hunt it down just now."

As he spoke, Moyuan put on a look of regret. "Unfortunately, because that Heart Seizing Beast had a considerable cultivation, I managed to heavily injure it, but it still escaped."

"Heart Seizing Beast?!"

"What?! We actually encountered a Heart Seizing Beast just now?"

Upon hearing Moyuan's prepared story, Ning Tian and Wu Feng simultaneously exclaimed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Heart Seizing Beast was a rare soul beast with a Mental Attribute. As its name suggested, its innate skill was to cause foolishness. A foolish Heart Seizing Beast could cause soul masters and soul beasts with mental strength lower than its own to fall into a stupor, creating an effect of time stoppage.

Under this effect, the Heart Seizing Beast could do as it pleased to its controlled targets, making it incredibly bizarre and terrifying.

However, due to its rarity, one might not see one in decades. Therefore, people often only knew its name, not its appearance.

Thus, similar to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's innate mental domain control skill, the Heart Seizing Beast, rarely seen but not without its notoriety, became the 'culprit' Moyuan had prepared.

Upon hearing that they had encountered the extremely rare but fearsome Heart Seizing Beast, Ning Tian and Wu Feng felt a sense of lingering fear.

The description and records of the Heart Seizing Beast indeed matched what they had felt just moments ago, so the two believed Moyuan's words without question.

Later, when they heard that Moyuan had rescued them and pursued the Heart Seizing Beast, Ning Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude.

Even Wu Feng, who had always disliked Moyuan, now looked at him with much less hostility.

After a while, when Ning Tian recovered from her shock, she realized her hands were tightly gripping Moyuan's muscular arm. Her gaze shifted downwards, and she saw his perfect physique.

Earlier, out of concern, Ning Tian hadn't paid full attention to Moyuan's body. Now that she had calmed down and looked, a captivating crimson blush appeared on Ning Tian's face.

"Ah..."

She let out a soft cry, then quickly released her grip on Moyuan's arms and took a few steps back. Her eyes were filled with shyness, and she dared not look at Moyuan. However, upon closer inspection, one could see her gaze occasionally darting towards him.

Even Wu Feng, who liked Ning Tian, couldn't help but adopt a similar posture. But when she saw Ning Tian's shy expression, her jealousy erupted.

"Hmph! Moyuan, are you a pervert?! How can you be so frivolous in front of Ning Tian?! Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

"Heh, you say one thing and mean another." Moyuan didn't mind, and teased her in his good mood.

Hearing this, Wu Feng immediately blushed and retorted, "Who says one thing and means another?! It's just a body, what's there to see!"

Moyuan took out a black windbreaker from his Soul Tool and put it on, then used the 'Urgency' art from the Cyber Ten Arts.

"You're in a hurry."

"Moyuan, you!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

Ning Tian's gaze quietly retracted from the body hidden by the windbreaker.

"We just encountered a Heart Seizing Beast and were almost in danger. Since we're not far from Shrek Academy now, let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest quickly."

"We'll listen to Ning Tian." Wu Feng's expression changed faster than flipping a book, and she immediately put on a smile.

"Oh, right, Moyuan, you must have been exhausted from chasing the Heart Seizing Beast to protect Wu Feng and me. This is a healing pill made by our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan that can restore soul power and heal injuries—the Recover Essence Pill. Take it quickly."

As she spoke, Ning Tian took out a jade bottle, poured out a brown pill emitting a faint fragrance, and handed it to Moyuan.

Moyuan thanked her and took the pill. With the powerful sense of smell granted by his Dragon Blood, Moyuan could roughly guess some of the ingredients in this Recover Essence Pill.

It was extremely valuable.

Moyuan then swallowed it without hesitation. As the pill entered his stomach, warm currents began to spread throughout his body, restoring his soul power and quickly dispelling the fatigue after his blood surge, though a slight sense of weakness remained.

With his condition restored, Moyuan glanced at the withered forest in the distance to the north, then maintained their original formation with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, and quickly ran towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because the three of them were already very close to the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, they only encountered a few ordinary hundred-year soul beasts along the way, which the Showy Bag Wu Feng, eager to prove herself to Ning Tian, easily dealt with.

Three hours later, the three of them exited the Star Dou Great Forest. They then traveled another fifty miles or so before stopping in a forest. This distance was generally enough to avoid encountering soul beasts.

The Setting Sun descended, and the Night Sky, adorned with scattered Stars, enveloped the land. In the dense forest, the clear Creek, reflecting the scattered round Bright Moon, made a gentle gurgling sound. The crisp flowing water brought a refreshing coolness to the three who had been traveling for a long time.

Upon reaching their resting place, Ning Tian and Wu Feng rested for a bit before going to the creek to wash off the dust and dirt from their bodies.

In the nearby woods, Moyuan casually picked up some dry firewood and started a bonfire. Listening to the faint sounds of splashing water, he slowly closed his eyes and began to study the complex Alchemy in his mind.

After a while, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who had finished washing, returned together from the creek. Having traveled for several consecutive days, after eating their packed rations, Wu Feng and Ning Tian went into the erected Tent to sleep, leaving Moyuan, as the boy, to keep watch.

The flames danced in the wind, and the dry branches burned with a series of crackling sounds like popping beans.

When Moyuan heard the breathing inside the tent become steady, he stood up from the ground and walked to the nearby creek. He removed his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, and stepped into the water.

The cold creek water stimulated Moyuan's nerves, and the scorching Dragon Blood flowed within him. Under the rush of the water, his thoughts gradually emptied.

Amidst the crisp flowing water, Moyuan suddenly heard a soft sound of footsteps behind him.

"Ning Tian? Didn't you go to sleep? Why are you up again?" Moyuan turned his head and asked Ning Tian, who was walking towards him.

"I couldn't sleep. I originally thought I'd chat with you, but I didn't see you by the bonfire, so I followed the sound of the water here,"

Ning Tian looked at Moyuan, who was bare-chested in the water. A Crimson blush appeared on her Perfect face, and she was breathtaking under the bright moonlight.

Taking off her exquisite crystal high heels, Ning Tian sat down on the Shore beside Moyuan. Her Perfect lotus feet slowly entered the water, gently rippling. The arch of her foot was beautifully curved, and her tender toes looked like five cute silkworms.

Sensing Moyuan's subtle gaze, a hint of strangeness appeared in Ning Tian's shy eyes.

The air suddenly fell silent. Apart from the crisp sound of the water, the two of them looked at the Bright Moon in the sky without a word.

After a while, Ning Tian suddenly spoke softly, "Moyuan, can you tell me about your past? I'm very curious how you reached this point without the help of any Family."
