Coveting a 100,000 Year Soul Bone? He's Coveting Our Labor!

Meng Shu seized the opening and struck with a killing blow.

Just as he was about to split First Hong's skull—

"Buzz—"

A layer of golden shield appeared. The Space Ring had automatically activated the Invincible Shield, blocking Meng Shu's attack.

Boom!

The remaining power of the Speed Divine Sense erupted, blasting Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang away. They tumbled for over a hundred meters before barely managing to stop.

"Urgh—"

"Pfft—"

The Soul Emperor coughed up blood, and the Soul Douluo spat blood.

Supporting each other as they rose, they stared at First Hong in horror.

What the hell was this little brat?

No matter what, they knew one thing—

They had kicked an iron plate.

First Hong withdrew his gaze and sized up Meng Shu and his wife.

Their combat strength was decent. They were invincible below the Title Douluo rank.

He could bring them in as subordinates.

After all, he couldn't waste Divine Sense showing off against every random cat or dog, could he?

That all cost Livestream Points.

Of course.

The prerequisite was that they had to be obedient.

Otherwise, it was better to kill them, lest they hold a grudge afterward.

First Hong casually tossed aside the terrified Meng Yiran, spread his Phoenix Wings, and flew before Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang.

He hovered there completely unguarded.

"Now, you have two choices."

"First, serve as my slaves for ten years. Once those ten years are up, I'll set you free."

"Second, die."

"Choose."

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang had never expected this young man to be so ruthless!

But circumstances were stronger than people. What could they do?

"Sir," Meng Shu lowered his head and said, "we are Dragon Duke Snake Granny. That Man Faced Demon Spider was indeed our prey, which we had been pursuing—"

"A prey that escapes belongs to whoever catches it," First Hong interrupted. "You talk too much. I'll count down to zero. If you haven't answered by then, I'll assume you've chosen the second option."

"Isn't Your Excellency being too overbearing?" Meng Shu said angrily.

"10."

"I am the Heaven Dou Empire's finance minister—"

"8."

Meng Shu paused.

Shouldn't 9 come after 10?

"5."

He skipped even more numbers!!!

"Don't push us too far!" Meng Shu roared. "My wife and I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It isn't as though we can't—"

"3."

Chao Tianxiang pressed down on Meng Shu and shook her head with difficulty.

That blow had severely wounded them both.

Even if they used Dragon Snake Combined Attack, how much power could it have?

They should play along for now, then wait until they recovered before looking for another opportunity.

"1."

"We choose the first option!" Chao Tianxiang said heavily. "We're willing to choose the first option!"

First Hong nodded calmly.

He opened his left hand. Almighty Pull!

The terrified Meng Yiran flew over, crying out in fear.

First Hong pulled out a Strand of Divine Sense with his right hand. The might of a deity radiated out, causing Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's expressions to change drastically!

This terrifying pressure far surpassed even the Poison Douluo's!

Right before their eyes, First Hong stuffed that Strand of Divine Sense into Meng Yiran's mouth.

It entered her Spiritual World.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang abruptly rose to their feet, glaring furiously at First Hong!

What had he done?

First Hong released Meng Yiran and let her collapse onto the ground.

He said calmly—

"Her life and death are now determined by a single thought from me."

"If she gets too far away from me, she'll also self-destruct."

"I hope you won't fail to appreciate my kindness and start thinking thoughts you shouldn't."

"Endure it. Ten years will pass soon enough."

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's expressions stiffened at those words.

Meng Yiran was the old couple's precious treasure, their family's only descendant.

And yet, and yet—

He really had a vicious eye for their weak point!

"Of course, I'm not some Zhou Bapi either."

First Hong took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it onto Meng Yiran's chest. It bounced off her soft, elastic body and fell to the ground.

"This is called a Soul Pill. Consuming it can increase a Spirit Ring's age."

"That Man Faced Demon Spider is two thousand years old. If she absorbs it normally, she'll definitely explode and die."

"Take a few of these first, then go kill that Man Faced Demon Spider. Aside from its Spirit Ring, there'll be a mysterious grand prize."

That was right.

First Hong intended to give the Eight Spider Lances to Meng Yiran.

Although the Eight Spider Lances were an External Soul Bone with limitless potential that could directly reach the level of a Super Artifact—

The more he thought about it these past two days, the more he felt—

It was just too ugly!

It wouldn't look good on Zhu Zhuqing.

Whatever External Soul Bone he wanted, couldn't he exchange for it in the Livestream Room Shop?

Besides.

To fulfill the God of Phoenix's requirements, the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring Age could not be changed. It had to remain fixed at two thousand years.

That would disgust Tang San even more.

It would greatly affect his potential later on.

But if it went to Meng Yiran instead, then he could go all out.

He could even have Meng Yiran develop a matching combat style around the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring and External Soul Bone, then slaughter Tang San in the end.

That would truly be killing someone and stabbing them in the heart!

As for Meng Yiran's upper limit—

What did that have to do with First Hong?

She had delivered herself to his doorstep. Who could she blame?

"Soul Pill?" Meng Shu frowned. "I've never heard of any method that can increase a Spirit Ring's upper limit. You—"

"Ahhh!!!"

Meng Yiran suddenly screamed. Clutching her head, she slammed it against the ground, only for Chao Tianxiang to quickly shield her.

Yet Meng Yiran continued to struggle violently, her expression twisted in unbearable agony.

Meng Yiran had never had this problem before, so it could only be—

"I understand!" Meng Shu said urgently. "We'll do as you say!"

Meng Yiran immediately stopped screaming and went limp in Chao Tianxiang's arms.

She looked completely broken.

As expected!

Meng Shu glared at First Hong resentfully, but he did not dare say another word.

They were the fish on the chopping block.

They could only obey.

He picked up the exquisite porcelain bottle from the ground and poured out a fragrant pill, feeling somewhat relieved.

It didn't look like poison.

Whoosh—

A sound of something tearing through the air came from above.

Flender, who had been led in circles by the Divine Sense, had finally "caught up."

His face looked somewhat haggard.

After flying at high speed for several hours, even a Soul Sage could hardly endure it.

"Where's Tang San?" Flender asked nervously. "I followed all the way here. How could he not be here?"

First Hong pointed at the human-shaped crater in the ground.

"He's buried in there. Don't worry, he won't die."

"That's good." Flender let out a sigh of relief. "I knew that if you took action, First, there definitely wouldn't be a problem."

"Of course," First Hong said with a shrug.

Flender glanced at Xiao Wu, who was digging at the pit, and carefully asked—

"Then the Titan Giant Ape—"

With a wave of First Hong's hand, the enormous headless corpse crashed down.

It startled everyone present!

Once they saw it clearly—

Their hearts raced even faster!

Even if they did not recognize the Titan Giant Ape, its size, pressure, and aura were right there.

Combined with Flender's earlier question—

The answer was obvious.

"You really killed the Titan Giant Ape?" Flender said in astonishment. "Then the Spirit Ring and Soul Bone... Ah! I spoke out of turn!"

Flender regretted it immensely and warily watched Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Yiran.

He had been too shocked and accidentally let it slip!

A 100,000 Year Spirit Ring was one thing; no one could take it away anyway.

But a 100,000 Year Soul Bone was different. Once exposed, it would inevitably attract covetous eyes.

Meng Shu thought—

Heh!

Covetous eyes?

There were indeed covetous eyes.

But it was this brat coveting their labor!

"Ahh~~~"

Meng Yiran let out a soft moan, her body trembling nonstop.

As though—

She was high?
