Mei Hu

"An Earth Soul Ape Ape King? Damn, no wonder a millennium-level soul beast was so strong!" Wang Sheng was utterly shocked!

"Head over there and find a blind spot!" The little beauty pointed at a small rocky slope ahead.

"Hm?"

Wang Sheng looked puzzled. They were fleeing right now, and open ground was advantageous to them. If they went to the rocky slope, his speed would be greatly affected.

"Can you trust me?" The little beauty looked at Wang Sheng with a firm expression.

After meeting the little beauty's gaze for three seconds, Wang Sheng decisively replied, "Alright! I trust you!"

As soon as he spoke, he immediately changed direction and rushed toward the rocky slope.

The little beauty stared at Wang Sheng in a daze. She had not expected him to truly trust her. An inexplicable warmth rose in her heart. Because of her identity, no one had ever trusted her before.

Yet this man—no, this boy—had believed her without the slightest hesitation.

Very quickly, Wang Sheng arrived beneath the rocky slope!

He stopped and looked at the little beauty. Though he did not ask, his meaning could not have been clearer: What now?

But the little beauty did not notice. Her gaze swiftly swept across the slope. Then she pointed at a very concealed depression. "Quick, go there!"

"Ah!"

Wang Sheng froze again. That hollow was hidden, but anyone who searched carefully could still find it easily.

Could this really be the little beauty's plan?

Why did it feel a little like a trap?

"Go, quickly!" Seeing Wang Sheng standing there blankly, the little beauty urged him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Earth Soul Ape Ape King's massive footsteps were already sounding behind them. It felt extremely close.

There was no other choice!

With a few leaps, Wang Sheng reached the hollow and hid inside.

Then he fixed his gaze tightly in the direction of the Earth Soul Ape Ape King!

"Am I beautiful?"

At that moment, the little beauty in his arms suddenly asked something completely out of place.

"Hm?"

Wang Sheng could not help but smile bitterly. Girl, you really are breathtakingly beautiful, but is this the time to ask that?

"Do you like me?"

The little beauty asked again. At the same time, her eyes turned a strange red, and eerie crimson energy emerged from her body. Already exceedingly alluring, she became even more seductive.

Wang Sheng stared at the little beauty's stunning face and blanked out!

His gaze became vacant as well, and he subconsciously replied, "I do!"

Crack, crack, crack!

Wang Sheng's body began to petrify! First his feet, then his legs. Only when it reached his chest did Wang Sheng snap out of his daze.

Seeing his petrified body, he was utterly horrified!

When she saw Wang Sheng regain his senses, the little beauty was stunned as well! Since when had my charm become so weak?

Still, she reminded him, "Don't struggle. This is my soul skill, Charm Eye! It can petrify people and conceal their aura!"

"Charm Eye? Petrification? Aura concealment?"

Wang Sheng was shocked. This soul skill was far too powerful. At the same time, he realized that this petrification did not truly turn his body into stone. Rather, it wrapped a layer of stone around his body.

In fact, he could shatter it with just a slight burst of Soul Power.

Without resisting, Wang Sheng soon turned into a stone. Then the little beauty quickly petrified herself as well!

Rumble!

With a huge rumble and a tremor, something appeared beside the two of them. Clearly, the Earth Soul Ape Ape King had reached the rocky slope.

Roar!

However, after sweeping its gaze across the slope, the Earth Soul Ape Ape King found no trace of the two of them. It could not help but fly into a rage, throwing back its head and roaring wildly. The surrounding forest shook and rustled from the force!

At the same time, it alarmed every soul beast within several miles!

The Earth Soul Ape Ape King's powerful aura made them all restless, and they fled into the distance one after another. They feared that if they ran even a step too slowly, they would become the Earth Soul Ape Ape King's food!

Boom, boom, boom!

Unable to find Wang Sheng and the little beauty, the Earth Soul Ape Ape King was extremely unwilling to give up. It wandered nearby for a long time before finally leaving!

Wang Sheng did not dare move at all. After all, if he accidentally shattered even a little of the stone covering him and exposed his aura, he could easily be discovered.

Crack, crack!

After all sound had completely faded, some time passed before the stone covering them shattered.

The two first looked at each other, then checked their surroundings. After confirming that the Earth Soul Ape Ape King had truly left, they both let out a sigh of relief!

"What is your martial soul? This soul skill is so powerful and amazing! Not only can it petrify people, but people can even breathe inside the stone. It's incredible!"

The little beauty's large eyes stared at Wang Sheng, blinking at him for a long while. Then she raised her chin proudly. "Of course! This king—this young lady's martial soul is the king of foxes, Mei Hu!"

"My First Soul Skill, Charm Eye, can not only make someone lose their senses for three seconds, but also petrify enemies and conceal aura!"

"The king of foxes? Mei Hu? Impressive!" Wang Sheng could not help praising her. He truly had to praise her—this little beauty's martial soul and soul skill were incredibly powerful!

"My name is Mei Hu. Thank you for saving me!"

"Hello! My name is Wang Sheng. It's nice to meet you! But I'm sorry, I wasn't able to save your family members!"

Wang Sheng looked at Mei Hu with a heartbroken expression. At such a young age, she had gone through such a terrible disaster. She must have been devastated.

"Family?"

Mei Hu's eyes spun as she thought of those people the Earth Soul Ape Ape King had killed.

Then a crafty look appeared on her face. Finally, her expression turned sorrowful, mist quickly rising in her eyes as if she were about to cry.

The sight made Wang Sheng's heart ache. He immediately comforted her, "Don't worry. I'll definitely take you to your family. Before that, I'll protect you."

Mei Hu looked at Wang Sheng's concerned expression and froze slightly, because she could tell that he truly meant it from the bottom of his heart.

This guy is so foolish... but also so adorable. Is it really alright for me to trick him like this?

But she had already said it. She could not take it back now! She could only continue, "My family... they're all dead. Sob, sob!"

Hearing that, Wang Sheng felt even more heartbroken. He could not help pulling her into his arms and comforting her.

Mei Hu's face instantly turned red.

Mei Hu murmured, "Do you still remember what you just said to me?"

"What?" Wang Sheng looked bewildered!

"You..." Mei Hu pushed Wang Sheng away, looking very unhappy.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Seeing Mei Hu like this only made Wang Sheng more confused.

"Y-you, you said you liked me! You forgot so quickly? Y-you should know, this king—ptui, this young lady—has never been hugged by anyone before."

"Hmph! Males really are no good!" Mei Hu wore an expression that clearly said, This young lady is very angry, and the consequences are serious. Hurry up and coax me.
