"Are you a Tool Martial Soul user?"
Tang Ya blinked, her face full of confusion.
In the battle during the day, what they had clearly seen was a Beast Martial Soul, right? Could it be a Twin Martial Souls user?
"I am not a Twin Martial Souls user; it's just that my Martial Soul is a bit special..."
Jiang Yi saw through Tang Ya's thoughts and spoke up to explain directly.
Immediately after, he casually tossed the Master Ball in his hand, and in an instant, a massive figure several meters tall appeared.
It was a majestic and imposing giant bird!
"A Soul Beast! And it's alive!"
Tang Ya looked at the suddenly appearing Gale Thunder Falcon, her eyes widening instantly as she exclaimed in disbelief.
What kind of Martial Soul was this? Throwing a ball could pop out a living, breathing Soul Beast?
Bei Bei, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.
On the Douluo Continent, Martial Souls were strange and varied; it wasn't as if Martial Souls capable of capturing Soul Beasts had never appeared before.
"My Martial Soul is the Soul Beast Ball. Each ring allows me to tame one Soul Beast to serve as my partner..."
Jiang Yi reached out his hand, and the Gale Thunder Falcon immediately lowered its head, rubbing its fluffy crown against his palm while emitting a comfortable purring sound from its throat.
This scene of a friendly master and servant left the three of them greatly astonished.
"So that's how it is..."
Bei Bei nodded slightly, but in his heart, he was recalling the battle from earlier that day.
At that time, Jiang Yi's aura was indeed identical to this Soul Beast, but this Martial Soul was certainly not as simple as he made it out to be.
Martial Souls capable of taming Soul Beasts were already rare, and one that allowed a Soul Beast to possess the user like a Martial Soul was completely unheard of.
However, Bei Bei did not continue to press the issue; a Martial Soul was a Soul Master's greatest secret, and asking too much would be impolite.
Tang Ya looked at the Gale Thunder Falcon in front of her, then back at Jiang Yi sitting by the campfire, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
He must be recruited into the Tang Sect!!!
The night was desolate, and the darkness in the forest gradually thickened.
After the group finished dinner, they each went to rest. Bei Bei, having the highest cultivation, volunteered to keep watch nearby.
Jiang Yi, as usual, found a tree trunk slanted in mid-air, lay down upon it, and quietly watched the moon in the sky.
The moonlight was like water, spilling across his face.
The events of this day had truly caught him off guard.
Huo Yuhao had become Huo Yutong, which meant that many things would no longer develop according to his expectations.
Moreover, although Tian Meng was a bit of a pushover, she was, after all, a million-year Soul Beast. After taming Tian Meng, he now possessed the qualifications to look toward godhood.
The problem now facing him was how to shake off the surveillance of God King Tang.
If he didn't become a god, God King Tang wouldn't actually pose much of a threat, but to become a god, he couldn't avoid him.
This was the most troublesome point.
Just as Jiang Yi was deep in thought, a blue light suddenly flew out from his body.
"You need to be careful of that girl!"
Tian Meng suddenly appeared on his shoulder, her gaze fixed on Huo Yutong, who had drifted off to sleep below, her expression uncharacteristically serious.
During the day, she had sensed a terrifying spiritual pressure coming from that young girl.
That spiritual power was far above her own, and even among all the powerhouses she had ever seen, it was the most formidable existence.
Since she had chosen to follow Jiang Yi, she naturally had to look out for his best interests.
"Huo Yutong?"
Jiang Yi lowered his head to take a look, then immediately understood what Tian Meng meant.
Electrolux had actually descended upon Huo Yutong after all... but that was normal; after all, she was the Child of Destiny.
No, the Daughter of Destiny!
"I know! Don't worry! I have it under control!"
He reached out, cradled Tian Meng's chubby body in his palm, and poked her little head with his fingertip.
"By the way, weren't you acting like you were going to die earlier? Why are you so caring now?"
"Hmph! It's not like I'm afraid that if you die, it'll drag me down with you!"
Tian Meng haughtily lifted her chin, her tone fierce, but her body was honest as she nuzzled into his palm.
For some reason, the more she looked at this guy, the more pleasing he became.
"But don't you worry! Even though that ghost thing has a high level of spiritual power, it should only be a remnant soul. Big Sister can still protect you!"
After saying this, she even used her dozen or so small jade-like feet to pat her chest vigorously, promising with absolute certainty.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sister Tian Meng!"
Jiang Yi blinked and chuckled softly.
This little thing loved to brag, so he might as well indulge her little hobby.
"Leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Meng's worm-like body trembled, she shook her head and swayed, her tail practically pointing toward the sky.
"It's not that I'm bragging, but back in the day, even when I arrived at Star Dou, I was the type to punch the Beast God and kick the Scarlet King! Even Di Tian had to take a detour when he saw me..."
Jiang Yi smiled and didn't expose her, simply listening quietly and chiming in from time to time.
"Wow, you were that amazing?"
"Of course! Back then, I..."
Accompanying this, the intimacy level for Tian Meng on the system panel began to climb bit by bit.
[Intimacy: 22%...25%...29%...]
This girl really fell for this routine.
A moment later.
Tian Meng leaned against Jiang Yi's shoulder, her dozen small jade-like feet stretching out comfortably, her eyes hazy as she bragged until she lost track of reality.
"Little Jiang, you mustn't let me down..."
"If it weren't for the fact that the God Realm suddenly lost contact a few years ago, I might have already ascended to godhood..."
Her tone was lazy, like a cat basking in the sun.
Jiang Yi had been perfunctorily agreeing, but upon hearing this, he suddenly perked up and abruptly lifted Tian Meng from his shoulder.
"Tian Meng, are you telling the truth?"
He held the round silkworm baby in front of his eyes, staring at her with a burning gaze.
What did she mean by the God Realm losing contact?
"I'm being serious... I'm not joking!"
Jiang Yi looked at her sternly.
If the God Realm had truly lost contact, it would be a godsend for him, and all his previous worries would vanish.
Tian Meng felt a bit unnerved by his gaze, subconsciously shrinking her neck as her eyes began to dart around.
"W-which one are you talking about?"
She blinked, looking slightly guilty.
Why was he suddenly so serious? She had embellished quite a bit of what she said earlier~
"The God Realm one..."
"Oh, that! A few years ago, for some reason... the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent was suddenly severed."
Tian Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing that Jiang Yi wouldn't believe her, she silently added another sentence.
"I'm not lying to you! Di Tian and the others sensed it too; it seems they've been tinkering with some Revival Plan over the past few years."
The God Realm was not something unreachable, especially for top-tier powerhouses; as long as they reached the limit, they could sense its existence.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the confidence to tinker with some God Creation Plan.
Of course, claiming she could become a god was indeed a brag. The moment she broke through a million years, she encountered a heavenly tribulation.
If Jiang Yi hadn't appeared, she would have already died, or even if she hadn't, she would have only been able to become a lonely soul attached to someone else.
"Tian Meng—"
Jiang Yi's eyes shone like two stars, his voice filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
"I absolutely love you!"
Without a second thought, he brought Tian Meng to his lips and planted a big, loud kiss right on her round little head.
"Mua—!"
(I'm kissing a worm, not a loli, please let this pass, censors!)
Tian Meng: ???
You bastard, what are you doing?
Her mind went blank, leaving only a bubbling mess of mush.
Immediately, starting from the top of her head, her entire body turned bright red, wisps of steam rising as if she were about to explode at any moment.
However, before she could lash out—
"Snap."
A Master Ball descended from the sky, hitting her forehead with precision. A flash of white light appeared, and she was sucked directly inside.
Inside the Master Ball, in a vast, white, illusory space.
The golden-haired little loli crouched in a corner, covering her burning face with both hands, rolling back and forth on the ground.
Pervert! You lecher!
That was the first kiss I'd guarded for a million years!!!
