Titan Giant Ape Appears, The Indifferent Four Scoundrels

Hearing the words of the exceptionally delicate and pretty girl before him, Meng Yiran raised an eyebrow, though she didn't press the matter further.

She had only felt a spark of curiosity toward Fu Qin; while she found him pleasant upon their first meeting, it was far from the point of being unable to let go, though the look she cast him before leaving held a certain indescribable meaning.

System Panel: [Meng Yiran favorability +60, current favorability 60 points]

Fu Qin felt a jolt in his heart as he watched the notification pop up on the System Panel.

How could this favorability come so inexplicably? He had barely spoken while standing there, so how did he harvest such a high amount of affection?

Looking at Ning Rongrong beside him, she was puffing out her small chest like a protective mother hen, staring daggers at Meng Yiran's retreating back with a face full of triumph.

System Panel: [Ning Rongrong favorability +30, current favorability 197 points]

Seeing Ning Rongrong's favorability, a faint smile curled the corners of Fu Qin's mouth.

197 points—not enough yet, but he was not far from the three-hundred mark.

And the day he would spend a night of passion with Ning Rongrong was drawing near.

He reached out to ruffle Ning Rongrong's hair, soothing her in a low voice, "Alright, little sister Rongrong, we are still too young; we shouldn't be talking about such romantic matters for now."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed red, and she instantly shed her sharp edge, leaning obediently against him as she muttered softly.

"Then you aren't allowed to look at other girls in the future."

"Fine." Fu Qin agreed with a smile, though he inwardly scoffed at how strong this girl's possessiveness truly was.

Watching this scene, Oscar felt a sense of admiration for Fu Qin.

After all, both Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran were top-tier beauties, and for Fu Qin to remain unmoved in such a situation was truly rare.

Time slipped by until the afternoon.

Oscar was staring at the Winged Serpent covered in blue-black scales before him, a flash of unwillingness crossing his eyes, though it was quickly replaced by resignation.

This 1,400-year-old Winged Serpent was a substitute he had found based on memories from his past life.

Although its speed could not compare to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, its quality was definitely not low.

"Move!" Dai Mubai gave a low shout, his White Tiger martial soul instantly awakening, his tiger claws glinting with cold light as he lunged toward the Winged Serpent.

Ma Hongjun did not show weakness either; his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul ignited with raging flames, turning into a streak of fire to pin down the Winged Serpent's movements.

With the combined efforts of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the thousand-year Winged Serpent was soon defeated.

As Oscar plunged a blade into the serpent's vital spot, a purple soul ring slowly ascended.

Seeing this, Oscar did not hesitate; he immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring.

Two hours later, Oscar slowly opened his eyes, his soul power fluctuating violently as his third soul ring was successfully fused!

With a thought, a sausage with wings appeared in his hand, emitting a faint energy ripple.

"Third soul skill, I have a Mushroom Sausage!"

Oscar shouted his soul incantation with his usual flamboyant flair.

Although the flight speed was not as fast as the original, the flight duration had doubled, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

A satisfied smile appeared on Oscar's face; with this soul skill, his survival capability had undoubtedly increased by a large margin.

However, the flash of malice that crossed his eyes did not escape Fu Qin's notice.

This kid probably hadn't forgotten the grudge of having his soul ring stolen.

Just then, the earth began to tremble violently, as if a giant beast were approaching.

From deep within the forest in the distance came a deafening roar; trees collapsed one after another, dust filled the air, and a terrifying pressure swept toward the group.

"Not good! A soul beast of this level is definitely not something we can contend with!" Flender's expression changed drastically, and he activated his martial soul without hesitation. "Zhao Wuji, we must stop it!"

Zhao Wuji did not dare to be slow; his Immovable Wisdom King martial soul instantly awakened, his muscles bulging and his skin turning as hard as rock as he stood before the group.

"If you want to pass, you'll have to get through me first!"

The next second, a giant ape over dozens of meters tall charged out from the depths of the forest, its body covered in thick brown fur and its eyes fierce—it was one of the overlords of the Star Dou Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!

Ignoring Zhao Wuji's obstruction, it swiped a hand and sent the Immovable Wisdom King flying; Flender rushed to assist, but was shaken by the shockwave of the Titan Giant Ape, causing his blood to churn and blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

The group fled in all directions, save for Xiao Wu, who stood in place with a pale face.

She looked at the Titan Giant Ape, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

There was surprise, there was helplessness, but there was no fear.

The Titan Giant Ape charged straight toward Xiao Wu, and amidst the horrified gazes of the group, it grabbed her and turned to run toward the depths of the forest.

"Sister Xiao Wu!" Fu Qin's pupils constricted; he had no time to think, his internal soul power surging wildly as two pearly-white Immortal-Slaying Flying Daggers, engraved with runes, instantly appeared beneath his feet.

This was his life-bound treasure, refined with his own heart's blood; it was incredibly fast and possessed infinite power.

"You beast! Give Sister Xiao Wu back to me!" Fu Qin let out a low shout, stepping onto the Immortal-Slaying Flying Daggers and turning into a streak of light as he chased in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had departed.

His figure darted through the forest, moving so fast he left only a blur, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the depths of the woods.

Tang San stood where he was, watching Fu Qin's retreating figure, and thought to himself that things were looking bad.

He knew that the Titan Giant Ape was Xiao Wu's younger brother and would not harm her, so he did not pursue them desperately as he had in his past life.

But Fu Qin didn't know that! That was a Titan Giant Ape, a creature of unfathomable strength; even if Fu Qin wouldn't die from this, he would certainly suffer significant injuries.

However, when he saw the back of Fu Qin, who had chased after them without a moment's hesitation to save Xiao Wu, his worry was replaced by a surge of warmth.

Fu Qin was truly his best brother; knowing the danger, he still threw himself into harm's way to rescue Xiao Wu.

[Tang San Favorability +50, Current Favorability +149]

[Tang San's inner thoughts: Fu Qin is a good brother; in the future, I must cultivate him well!]

Held in the grasp of the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu watched Fu Qin, who was stepping on the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger and pursuing them recklessly, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Having been reborn, she had seen too much hypocrisy and calculation; the coldness of Tang San, the paranoia of Dai Mubai, and the viciousness of Oscar had all left her feeling disheartened.

But Fu Qin was different. He always appeared when she needed him most, protecting her with his actions. This deep affection caused her to fall for him completely.

[Xiao Wu Favorability +100, Current Favorability 600 points]

[Xiao Wu Favorability +100, Current Favorability 700 points]

[Xiao Wu Favorability +100, Current Favorability 800 points]

[Xiao Wu Favorability +100, Current Favorability 900 points]

[Xiao Wu Favorability +100, Current Favorability 1000 points]

[Xiao Wu's inner thoughts: Little Brother Fu Qin is truly someone I can entrust my life to.]

What did a maximum favorability of 1000 points represent? It meant that Xiao Wu had fallen completely in love with Fu Qin and was willing to give everything for him, even her life!

She watched Fu Qin's figure drawing closer and swore to herself that in this lifetime, she would protect this relationship well and never let go again.

As for the four who remained behind—Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun—there was not a hint of gravity on their faces; instead, they wore expressions of those watching a spectacle.
