Golden Python!

The only issue is that this method of contact is a bit strange; one has to stick out their tongue to lick it...

No wonder that little loli Yue always licked lollipops.

It is both aesthetically unpleasing and unhygienic.

Overall, Mu Guiyun was quite satisfied. He had just acquired the lightning element and hadn't had time to develop it, and he currently lacked powerful offensive means for his ether and gold elements. This explosive lollipop just happened to compensate for his current lack of attack power.

Thinking of this, Mu Guiyun once again felt deeply grateful to Brother Bear; he truly was the greatest gift package in the Peerless Tang Sect, second only to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Not only did he awaken two powerful Seventh Senses, but he also pushed his Soul Power Level to level 33 in one go.

Mu Guiyun would be able to save quite a bit of time, needing only a few days to stabilize his cultivation.

Time flew by, and the soul-hunting squad had been wandering in the Star Dou Great Forest for nearly three months, their position drawing ever closer to the core area.

Compared to ten thousand years ago, the density of soul beasts in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect had dropped significantly. Fortunately, the group was lucky; apart from Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, and Hua Yao, everyone else had obtained soul rings they were satisfied with.

At this moment, deep in the great forest, the Shrek group was surrounding and killing a powerful soul beast over fifty thousand years old.

"Damn creature, it has so much strength!"

Han Ruoruo gritted her teeth, the Gold-Shaking Rope in her hands tightly restraining the struggling Golden Python. She looked up and signaled to Zhang Lexuan, who was high in the air: "Lexuan, now!"

After receiving the signal, Zhang Lexuan, high above, exerted her full Soul Power. A silver-white crescent moon emerged behind her, accompanied by seven optimally configured soul rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!

Seventh Soul Skill--Moon Avatar!

To be safe, Zhang Lexuan played her trump card immediately!

As the Martial Soul Avatar was completed, the crescent moon behind Zhang Lexuan gradually became round, emitting faint ripples of golden light. Even her temperament underwent a radical change; her already cold features became even more elegant and ethereal, like a fairy who had stepped out of the moon.

Fifth Soul Skill--Moonfall!

The black soul ring lit up, and the phantom of the moon behind Zhang Lexuan transformed into twin golden moons, slashing toward the struggling Golden Python below like sickles!

As Zhang Lexuan's currently most powerful single-target attack skill, Moonfall possessed immense destructive power while also dealing both cutting and piercing damage.

As a top-tier soul beast, the Golden Python was not as balanced in offense and defense as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but it still possessed decent defense, and the golden scales on its body could withstand most energy attacks.

Even so, the Golden Python still felt a thick threat of death from those two golden moons.

Soul beasts had an exceptionally keen sense of danger, to say nothing of snake-type soul beasts.

"Hiss!"

The instinct for survival sent the Golden Python into a frenzy. It struggled violently with all its might, finally breaking free from the restraint of Han Ruoruo's Gold-Shaking Rope.

"Pfft!"

With her soul skill broken and her Martial Soul damaged, Han Ruoruo suffered a backlash and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

At that very moment, Zhang Lexuan's soul skill arrived. The two golden moons sliced through the Golden Python's defenses as if cutting through tofu, and its massive body instantly became a bloody mess.

"Hiss!"

The Golden Python felt the pain and let out another roar. Looking at the beautiful figure in the high sky, its vertical pupils actually revealed a trace of human-like malice. It then used its final strength to lash its snake tail toward Han Ruoruo, who was not far away.

"Ruoruo, watch out!"

"Sister Ruoruo!"

Because their strength was insufficient, everyone except Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo had stayed far from the center of the battle, acting in a support role. This meant that when Han Ruoruo was in danger, the others could not form an effective rescue.

Han Ruoruo's pupils constricted. It was too late to dodge, so she could only frantically channel all her Soul Power, attempting to block the blow with her life.

At the critical moment, a metallic tentacle... a mechanical arm quietly wrapped around Han Ruoruo's waist and pulled her back violently.

BOOM!

The snake tail slammed down, causing the hard ground to instantly crack. Spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions, and dust filled the sky.

Seeing that the expected attack had not arrived, Han Ruoruo was puzzled and prepared to open her eyes to check. What greeted her eyes, however, was a face that was still somewhat youthful but nonetheless possessed a peerless beauty.

"Sister Ruoruo, are you okay?"

Mu Guiyun looked at the beautiful figure in his arms. It was fortunate that he had acted in time; otherwise, given Han Ruoruo's defense, if she had taken that hit squarely, she would likely have suffered significant injury.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Han Ruoruo used her jade hand to pat her ample chest, then let out a heavy sigh of relief and smiled: "Sister is fine. Thank you, little brother. When we get back, sister will treat you to a meal!"

After the thanks, Han Ruoruo realized she was being held in a princess carry by Mu Guiyun; she could even feel the warmth of his palms against her legs.

Thinking of this, Han Ruoruo's pretty face turned red instantly. This was the first time in her twenty-plus years of being single that she had such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex.

However, she was no shy little girl. After only a moment, she suppressed the shyness in her heart and even reached out a jade finger to gently poke Mu Guiyun's chest, saying meaningfully: "Little brother, when do you plan to put sister down?"

Looking toward the Golden Python, which had already been subdued by Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo's lips curled slightly, her breath sweet as orchids: "I don't think you want to see the results of everyone's hard work for these past few days go to waste, do you?"

Mu Guiyun: !

Listen to these bold and uninhibited words!

It had always been Mu Guiyun who used this line to threaten others; how could he be the one being threatened?!

Just as he was about to teach Han Ruoruo a lesson, Ma Xiaotao walked over with a dark face, her tone filled with undisguised jealousy: "Have you held her enough, kid?"

Seeing this, Mu Guiyun could only laugh dryly and helplessly release his hands.

Watching the beautiful figure retreat into the distance, Mu Guiyun smacked his lips with lingering desire, as if he could still feel the warmth remaining on his palm.

She was truly worthy of being a goddess in the Inner Court who could stand alongside Zhang Lexuan; Han Ruoruo embodied the phrase "tender as water" to perfection.

Especially that perfectly rounded peach-like backside—in the words of Mu Guiyun's past life, that was a guaranteed son-bearer!

The cultivation of this Golden Python was approaching sixty thousand years, so it was naturally somewhat difficult for Han Ruoruo to absorb.

A full day passed, and it was not until the sky had turned completely dark that Han Ruoruo finally awakened from her meditative state.

As a close friend, Zhang Lexuan immediately expressed her concern the moment Han Ruoruo woke up: "How do you feel?"

Hearing this, Han Ruoruo quickly closed her eyes to sense the changes. Upon realizing the terrifying amplification of her Avatar of the Martial Soul, her face instantly lit up with joy: "As expected of a soul beast possessing the golden bloodline, I am extremely satisfied with my seventh soul skill!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan felt genuinely happy for Han Ruoruo.
