Douluo: The Venom System Is Awesome

This was precious data compiled by generations of Martial Soul Hall experts after exploring various spirit beast forests, using their experience and even their blood to record it; it was for the use of core internal personnel only.

She quickly flipped to the section documenting the Sunset Forest, her fingertips tracing a line of dense annotations and a simple map to confirm their orientation.

"Follow me."

She closed the manual, signaled to Mu Junyu, and was the first to dash off in a certain direction.

The two traveled through the increasingly dim forest for about a quarter of an hour before the sound of rumbling water gradually reached their ears.

The further they went, the louder the water became, deafening like rolling thunder.

Pushing aside the final patch of dense brush, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

A massive waterfall, like a silver-white dragon, surged down from a cliff nearly a hundred meters high.

It crashed violently into the deep pool below.

The spray filled the sky, refracting seven-colored light in the final rays of the setting sun.

On both sides of the waterfall were steep, moss-covered rock walls that appeared entirely unremarkable.

"The campsite is here?"

Mu Junyu looked around; the air was thick with mist and the ground was damp. It didn't look like a suitable place to set up camp at all.

"With this much humidity, how are we supposed to sleep at night?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue turned her head and gave him a mysterious, playful smile, her golden eyes shining brightly amidst the hazy mist.

"What is recorded in the manual is far more than what meets the eye."

Before she finished speaking, her Angel Martial Soul instantly manifested behind her, though not fully revealed. With a light tap of her toes, she transformed into a streak of golden light. Instead of avoiding the waterfall, she charged straight toward the curtain of water!

"Sister Xue!"

Mu Junyu was startled, thinking she had discovered an enemy.

Yet, the moment Qian Renxue's figure touched the violent water curtain, it was as if she had been swallowed whole; she plunged into the waterfall and vanished!

Mu Junyu froze for a second, then suddenly realized, his eyes lighting up.

"There's a hidden world behind the waterfall?"

He didn't hesitate. The pitch-black Symbiosis quickly covered his body, enhancing his jumping power and grip, and he followed in Qian Renxue's direction.

With a powerful leap, he also broke through the cold, heavy curtain of water!

The moment he passed through the water veil, the sensation of impact vanished instantly.

Mu Junyu landed steadily, shook the water droplets from his hair, and looked closely. Sure enough! Hidden behind this waterfall was a spacious, dry, and massive cave!

The entrance was perfectly concealed by the water curtain, making it impossible to detect from the outside.

The air inside the cave circulated well without any feeling of stuffiness, and the ground was flat with enough space to accommodate over ten people without feeling crowded. It was truly an excellent natural campsite!

Qian Renxue stood at the entrance, her spirit power gently steaming to dispel the moisture. Seeing Mu Junyu's surprised expression, a smile played on her lips.

"How about it? This place is a five-star safety point recorded in the manual."

Chapter 47: A Reward for You~

The light inside the cave was dim, but it did not hinder their movements in the slightest.

Qian Renxue flicked a wisp of golden holy flame from her fingertip, precisely igniting several ancient lamp stands embedded in the cave walls.

These lamp stands seemed to have been left behind by spirit masters who had discovered this place long ago, and they still contained remnants of beast oil.

As the flames danced, the warm light immediately dispelled the darkness of the cave, illuminating the interior clearly.

The cave was deeper than it appeared from the outside, and the interior was very dry with excellent air circulation; there was no sense of dampness or stuffiness at all.

One side of the cave wall had even been artificially leveled, featuring a rough but flat stone table, with some dry thatch piled to the side—clearly organized by those who had come before.

"It's just as the manual recorded, perhaps even better."

Qian Renxue nodded with satisfaction; this place was impeccable as a temporary campsite.

Mu Junyu had already begun setting things up with great enthusiasm.

From his storage Soul Tool, he first took out a spacious and thick camping tent, nimbly setting it up in the flattest part of the cave.

Then, he pulled out two down cushions that looked incredibly soft and expensive and stuffed them inside.

"When you're out and about, you can't compromise on sleep quality."

He said with a grin, then, as if performing a magic trick, produced a small but fully functional metal campfire rack.

He placed it in the center of the cave, far away from the tent and the dry thatch.

Qian Renxue took the Blood-Winged Flying Bird they had just hunted out of her Soul Tool ring.

Although the spirit ring had already been absorbed, the meat of this ten-thousand-year spirit beast still contained abundant energy, making it a great tonic for spirit masters.

She processed the ingredients with nimble movements, her golden spirit power flickering occasionally, proving far more efficient than any blade.

Mu Junyu leaned in, pulling out several jars and bottles as if presenting a treasure.

"Hehe, look what I brought! Secret sauce, rock salt, black pepper, and even cumin! I guarantee Sister Xue will love my cooking!"

Soon, the campfire was lit, the dancing flames bringing warmth and light.

The fatty bird meat was set over the fire to roast, the fat dripping into the flames with a sizzling sound.

The rich aroma of meat mixed with the spicy scent of various seasonings quickly filled the entire cave, making one's mouth water.

Mu Junyu skillfully turned the roasting meat, brushing on sauce from time to time while humming a tuneless little song.

Qian Renxue sat on a stone stool nearby, watching his busy and high-spirited back.

She looked around at this warm, dry, and fragrant temporary home, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly of their own accord.

Outside was the roaring sound of the waterfall, while inside were the warm campfire and the savory scent of roasted meat.

This secret cave hidden behind the water curtain seemed to isolate all danger and turmoil, leaving only a reassuring tranquility and...

The noisy yet strangely comforting guy beside her.

"This place... is truly wonderful."

She said softly, unsure if she was speaking of the location or the atmosphere of the moment.

The campfire crackled, and the scent of roasted meat permeated the cave.

The two sat around the fire, sharing the tender and juicy bird meat, the atmosphere relaxed and cozy.

Qian Renxue elegantly tore off a small piece of meat, chewed it slowly, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, asked casually.

"By the way, what level is your spirit power now?"

Mu Junyu was gnawing on a bird leg and answered vaguely upon hearing this.

"Hmm... level twenty-eight. I feel like the bottleneck has loosened a bit; I reckon it won't take long to break through."

He swallowed the meat in his mouth, looking at Qian Renxue with bright eyes and a mischievous smile.

"If I could have a few more of those deep 'Symbiosis' training sessions with Sister Xue, maybe I could break through to level thirty right away~"

"Cough..."

Qian Renxue was choked by his blunt and suggestive remark, hurriedly picking up her water skin to take a sip and turning her head away to hide her reaction.

Under the reflection of the dancing campfire, two faint, imperceptible blushes rose on her fair cheeks, though fortunately, the dim light made them hard to discern.

She lowered her head and ate in silence, seemingly unwilling to continue the topic.

Mu Junyu didn't tease her further, focusing instead on the food in his hands.

However, after a while, Qian Renxue suddenly stood up.

Mu Junyu looked up in confusion, only to see her walk straight toward the pitched tent without a word.

Mu Junyu blinked, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Immediately after, a series of extremely faint, rustling sounds of fabric rubbing against fabric came from the tent.

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet cave, as if some soft garment were being gently removed.

Mu Junyu's chewing slowed down, his eyes lit up, and his ears pricked up involuntarily.

Because there was a candle stand opposite the tent, it happened to illuminate Qian Renxue inside the camp.

The silhouette projected was graceful to the extreme!

He saw Qian Renxue untie her hair ribbon, her hair cascading down like a waterfall.

She shook her head, gently removing the cumbersome fabric from her body. The rustling sounds hooked at the very tip of Mu Junyu's heart. The moment Qian Renxue removed her skirt, her long legs with heaven-defying proportions were cast in the candlelight projection!

Mu Junyu almost couldn't hold back a nosebleed...

Soon, the tent curtain was lifted a crack by a slender, jade-like hand. Qian Renxue poked half her head out, her long golden hair hanging down like a waterfall, spilling over her shoulders.

She appeared to be wearing nothing at all, like a little angel who had fallen into the mortal world, her exquisite collarbones appearing and disappearing.

Her cheeks still carried a faint blush, but her golden eyes, reflected by the campfire, swirled with a breathtaking light that mixed shyness with boldness.

She smiled sweetly at Mu Junyu, a smile carrying unprecedented charm and indulgence, her voice as soft as a feather brushing against his heart:

"Tonight... you can do whatever you want~"

"This is... your reward~"

After saying this, she retreated back into the tent, the curtain swaying gently, stirring his heart and sending his thoughts scattering in all directions.

Mu Junyu froze in place, forgetting to swallow the meat in his mouth, his eyes wide open, feeling a surge of fighting spirit rush straight to his head!

Upon hearing those words, Mu Junyu felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, instantly freezing in place.

The roasted meat in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud," yet he didn't even notice.

The next second, he sprang up like a lit firecracker!

"Wait, wait a second! Sister Xue, wait for me!"

He shouted in a panic, scrambling toward the pool on his hands and feet, splashing the icy waterfall water onto his hands to scrub them frantically.

He then hurriedly cupped the water to rinse his mouth, terrified that even a trace of grease or the smell of meat might remain.

The entire process was as fast as lightning; he didn't even bother to dry the droplets on his hands before turning and sprinting toward the tent at top speed!

Chapter 48 Harvesting:

"Sister Xue! I'm here!"

His voice was distorted with excitement, filled with irrepressible eagerness as he threw open the tent flap and dove inside.

Mu Junyu felt his brain go "boom," all his reason and hesitation burned away completely by Qian Renxue's infinitely seductive words and that fleeting glimpse.

He scrambled up on his hands and feet, rushed to the front of the tent in a few strides, took a deep breath, and violently pulled back the curtain.

The interior of the tent was quite spacious, with thick, soft down cushions spread across the floor.

A soft light stone in the corner emitted a hazy glow, shrouding everything in an ambiguous, warm light.

Qian Renxue was lying on her side on the cushions, her posture relaxed, her curves fully revealed.

She seemed to hear the commotion and turned her head slightly, her golden eyes half-open and half-closed, misted with a hazy, watery sheen.

Gone was her usual cold sharpness, replaced by a touch of languor and allure.

Seeing Mu Junyu enter, the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she extended a jade-like arm, softly wrapping it around his neck and pulling him down gently.

"What are you standing there like a fool for..."

Her voice was soft and light, with a hint of huskiness, as if she were acting spoiled.

Mu Junyu leaned down accordingly, bracing his arms on either side of her body, enveloping her within his shadow.

From this angle, he could take in everything about her. And at this sight, he was even more
