Arriving at the Star Luo Empire, Stealing from Huo Wu

Tang San's face was ashen.

Watching as Yu Xiaolong was about to die beneath the fist of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape.

Yet, that person had simply vanished into thin air.

"Brother San..."

Xiao Wu gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve.

She did not want to see Brother San looking so furious.

Tang San took a deep breath, remaining silent.

The purple light in his eyes gradually receded.

But his clenched fists were white at the knuckles.

He felt hatred.

He hated himself for failing to keep that person there.

At the Lake of Life, the water remained as calm as a mirror.

The figure of the Titan Giant Ape stepped out from the void.

Its heavy footsteps sent ripples across the lake's surface.

"Second Brother, why have you returned?"

The voice of the Sky Azure Bull Python drifted up from the bottom of the lake.

A massive bull's head emerged from the water.

Cyan scales shimmered with a ghostly glow under the moonlight.

"Big Brother, I encountered something strange."

The Titan Giant Ape's voice was low.

"That human named Yu Xiaolong escaped."

The Sky Azure Bull Python's vertical pupils constricted slightly.

"Escaped? Escaped from your hands?"

"Not from my hands."

The Titan Giant Ape shook its head.

"I had launched my attack, but before I could even touch him..."

"He simply disappeared."

"He ignored the surrounding laws of space."

The Sky Azure Bull Python fell silent.

A hundred thousand years of cultivation had given him a profound understanding of the laws of gravity.

But the laws of space?

That was an extremely rare ability, even in the world of Soul Beasts.

"That Yu Xiaolong... what exactly is his background?"

The Titan Giant Ape asked in a low voice.

The Sky Azure Bull Python did not answer.

The lake surface returned to calm once more.

Only the occasional chirping of insects broke the silence of the night.

Within the borders of the Star Luo Empire.

Deep in the forest outside Longxing City.

A flash of white light streaked by.

Yu Xiaolong's figure tumbled out from the void.

He held Huo Wu tightly in his arms.

The young woman had already fallen unconscious.

Her fiery red hair was disheveled, covering half of her face.

Yu Xiaolong knelt on one knee.

He gasped for air.

Exhausted.

Truly exhausted.

Forcibly breaking free from the Space-Time Mirror had drained too much of his soul power.

At that very moment.

The first soul ring on his body lit up.

It was a very peculiar radiance.

It was not blinding, yet it seemed capable of piercing through everything.

The soul ring of the Sagittarius Star Dragon.

A voice echoed within the mind of Yu Xiaolong.

[Ding!]

[Host detected in a desperate situation, Sagittarius Star Dragon innate ability awakened!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Teleportation!]

The system's voice was cold and indifferent.

Yet, a surge of wild joy welled up in Yu Xiaolong's heart.

Teleportation.

This was one of the core abilities of the Sagittarius Star Dragon.

It ignored the laws of speed.

It ignored all restraints.

He could be as fast as he wished to be!

As long as there was sufficient soul power to support it, the world was vast, and there was nowhere he could not go!

He braced himself with his final breath.

He poured his soul power into the soul ring.

The white light flared once more.

The next second.

He and Huo Wu vanished from where they stood.

When they reappeared, they were already by a small lake in the middle of a forest.

The lake water was clear, reflecting the starry sky above.

The shore was covered in soft grass.

Yu Xiaolong could finally hold on no longer.

He released his grip on Huo Wu.

His entire body fell backward.

His back struck the ground.

His vision began to blur.

In his final moments of consciousness, he saw the starry sky above, and it was beautiful.

Then, everything plunged into darkness.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Huo Wu woke up.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the star-filled sky.

Then, it was Yu Xiaolong lying beside her.

This old man.

She struggled to sit up.

She discovered that the clothes on Yu Xiaolong's body were tattered.

On his chest, there was a shocking, ghastly wound.

Although it had stopped bleeding, it still looked terrifying.

"You idiot!"

Huo Wu bit her lower lip.

She remembered.

At the very last moment, Yu Xiaolong had appeared from the void.

He had shielded her with his own body.

He had forcibly endured every single attack.

After that, she had lost consciousness.

"Why did you have to play the hero..."

Huo Wu's voice was laced with resentment.

Yet her eye sockets were slightly red.

She raised her hand, gently stroking the scar on Yu Xiaolong's chest.

Her movements were very light.

Very careful.

She was terrified of hurting this unconscious old man.

"Who told you to save me..."

"I never asked you to..."

She said this with her mouth.

But her hands had already begun tearing at the hem of her skirt.

She tore off a strip of red fabric.

She began to bandage Yu Xiaolong's wound.

Her movements were clumsy.

She didn't look like someone who knew how to take care of others at all.

But she did it very earnestly.

Round after round.

She wrapped the cloth around Yu Xiaolong's chest.

"Old man, you cannot die."

"If you die, who will I take my anger out on?"

The bandaging was finished.

Huo Wu sat on the ground.

She looked at the unconscious Yu Xiaolong.

Under the moonlight, the side profile of this old man was actually quite good-looking.

Sword-like brows and star-bright eyes.

A high, straight bridge of the nose.

If the Grandmaster of Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang, was an ugly old man.

Then this Yu Xiaolong before her was a younger version, extremely handsome.

Although he was a bit older, that aura of a mature man...

Huo Wu's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She had never been a coy person.

Like was like.

Hate was hate.

She had always directly rejected Feng Xiaotian's pursuit.

But toward this old man before her...

Huo Wu slowly leaned in closer.

Her breathing became somewhat rapid.

Her red lips were slightly pursed.

In her mind, a bold idea was budding.

Should she...

Kiss him?

Anyway, he was unconscious and wouldn't know.

Huo Wu's cheeks felt a little hot.

She finally made up her mind.

Her red lips gently pressed against Yu Xiaolong's lips.

Very soft.

This was Huo Wu's first sensation.

She had originally intended to just kiss him once and be done with it.

But...

A tongue was actually responding to her!

Huo Wu's eyes widened abruptly.

She wanted to push Yu Xiaolong away.

But it was already too late.

A pair of powerful arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

"Mmph..."

Huo Wu let out a muffled sound.

Her eyes widened.

She discovered that Yu Xiaolong's eyes had opened at some point.

Those eyes held a hint of a smile.

And a trace of... aggression.

Huo Wu's face turned red instantly.

The flush spread from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her ears.

A French kiss.

This old man was actually French kissing her!

She pushed against him with all her might.

But Yu Xiaolong's arms were like iron hoops.

They didn't budge an inch.

Huo Wu felt as if she were suffocating.

She had never experienced anything like this before.

The sensation of their tongues entwining was tingly and numb.

A jolt of electricity spread from the tip of her tongue throughout her entire body.

Her struggles gradually grew weak.

"Mmph..."

Huo Wu closed her eyes.

Forget it.

Let him do as he pleased.

Yu Xiaolong held Huo Wu.

The two of them lay on the ground just like that.

Lips and tongues entwined.

The young girl had a fiery figure.

Curvaceous and shapely.

Her fire-red bodysuit outlined the full, upright curves of her chest.

It wasn't the exaggerated papaya type.

But rather, it was perfectly rounded.

It was not a size that could be grasped in one hand.

At the very least, it was twice as large as Shui Bing'er's chest.

The two were pressed tightly together.

Yu Xiaolong could feel the soft sensation against his chest.

The neckline of her outfit had opened slightly due to her struggling.

He could see a glimpse of fair skin through the gap.

As well as the twin peaks tightly wrapped in a red bandeau.
