Taking In Lao Yi, Cruel Words Wound the Silkworm's Heart, the World's Greatest Succubus

After taking in Electrolux, Qiangu Yunche turned back and gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a meaningful look that left it utterly baffled, then promptly fled into the distance.

He came without a trace and left without a shadow.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm scratched its head in frustration, sounding as bitter and resentful as a gaming addict whose internet had been cut off halfway through a match.

"Where did this monstrous human come from? How had he mastered spatial power at such a young age? And why did he seem to have known about my existence and what would happen today all along...?"

"Could humans have become powerful enough to spy on the Star Dou Great Forest all the time?"

The thought sent a chill through Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's entire body. With time running short, it had no chance to dwell on it and could only hastily speed up its fusion with Huo Yuhao.

A short while later, the frozen world resumed its vitality, as though someone had pressed the play button.

Tang Ya and Beibei, who had been knocked unconscious beside Huo Yuhao by Spiritual Shock, slowly awoke as well. They were initially somewhat dazed, but quickly recalled what had happened before.

"Beibei, did a fat shadow that looked like a pig just flash past us, and then we passed out?"

Tang Ya's face was pale. She was certain that a Soul Beast had attacked them, and judging by its size and abilities, it was very likely a powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beast with a spiritual attribute.

Upon hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, eavesdropping from within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit in the distance, immediately exploded.

You compared my beautiful, pure, and pristine body to something as fat as a pig!?

Do you have no culture? If you have no culture, then keep your mouth shut!

This is called plumpness, prosperity, and good fortune!

Cruel words wound the silkworm's heart, damn it!

Beibei's expression was not much better. He had never expected them to encounter such a powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beast in an area so close to the outskirts.

Fortunately, it seemed to have merely been passing by. Otherwise, they would likely have lost their lives here today.

Once he came to his senses, Beibei's expression suddenly changed drastically. He raised his head and anxiously looked around.

"Where's Yuhao? Where is he?"

Tang Ya snapped back to attention as well, and the two hurriedly searched the surrounding area for the missing Huo Yuhao.

In the end, they discovered the unconscious Huo Yuhao behind a patch of bushes fifty meters away, along with the corpse of a Soul Beast whose body was still warm.

And this corpse was none other than the king among Soul Beasts, the beginning of everything, the lifelong enemy of the Emotion God King—the ten-year Wind Baboon!

To give Huo Yuhao a suitable explanation for obtaining his first Soul Ring for no apparent reason, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had, at the last moment, dragged over this Wind Baboon that had been foraging nearby and knocked unconscious by Spiritual Shock, making it the scapegoat.

Beibei placed a hand on Huo Yuhao's wrist, then said solemnly, "Yuhao seems to have obtained the Soul Ring of this ten-year Wind Baboon. His Soul Power has already risen to level eleven."

"A ten-year Wind Baboon as his first Soul Ring?"

Tang Ya pursed her lips, then sighed. "I don't know what happened just now, but this is far too unfortunate for Yuhao. With his physical constitution, he could have barely absorbed a hundred-year Soul Ring."

"Such is fate. The best outcome is that Yuhao wasn't hurt." Beibei shook his head. "Let's get Yuhao out of here first. Such a powerful Soul Beast appearing so close to the outskirts means the Star Dou Great Forest is becoming increasingly unfriendly toward humans."

Meanwhile, Qiangu Yunche had just returned to Xu Jiujiu's side when she happened to recover from her dazed state.

Xu Jiujiu blinked her eyes in confusion as turbulent waves surged within her heart.

Because the Star Luo Spirit Pearl was highly compatible with her, her body, Martial Soul, and even spiritual power had been cleansed by the pure Star Power within it. For that very reason, she could vaguely sense that something major had just happened, causing everything to feel as though the pause button had been pressed.

"Yunche..." But the moment she spoke, Qiangu Yunche interrupted her.

"Just now, a powerful spiritual Soul Beast chose to sacrifice itself to a human. Its spiritual domain nearly covered the entire southern region of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is why you felt as though time had stopped."

Qiangu Yunche's words stirred up stormy waves in Xu Jiujiu's heart. After processing them, she asked in a low voice, "Yunche, can you determine its background and strength?"

Well, it seemed this girl was getting bad ideas again.

Qiangu Yunche helplessly smiled and flicked Xu Jiujiu on the forehead before saying, "The one who received the spiritual Soul Beast's sacrifice was that Huo Yuhao who was grilling fish earlier. His Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye, a spiritual-type body Martial Soul. It's only because his early life was too miserable and he lacked nutrition and systematic training. Otherwise, with the quality of his Martial Soul, he could absolutely compete for the position of Body Sect successor."

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense for now. Huo Yuhao is already with the Tang Sect and will join Shrek Academy afterward. Besides, Beibei and Tang Ya have a Shrek Academy powerhouse accompanying them..."

Tang Ya's status was nothing worth mentioning in Shrek Academy, but Beibei was the legitimate crown prince of Shrek Academy. It was impossible for them to have come out to hunt Soul Beasts without a guardian accompanying them.

Qiangu Yunche had just investigated and found that the other party was a Soul Douluo, likely an Inner Court teacher.

"Spirit Eye? A spiritual-type body Martial Soul? And he received the sacrifice of a spiritual Soul Beast?"

The three traits combined completely changed Huo Yuhao's value in Xu Jiujiu's eyes. Had she known that he possessed such a Martial Soul and potential, she would have tricked him into joining the Star Luo Imperial Family no matter what, then properly brainwashed him so that he could serve her and Qiangu Yunche like an ox and horse in the future...

"Enough, don't think so much. That Huo Yuhao isn't an ordinary person. Getting too close to him will easily bring disaster." Qiangu Yunche pinched Xu Jiujiu's tender little cheek, then pulled her forward amid her coquettish protest.

Though Xu Jiujiu was puzzled, she had always trusted Qiangu Yunche's words.

According to Qiangu Yunche, Huo Yuhao was very likely someone similar to the Heavenly Calamity Douluo.

If that was truly the case, then Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect could have this great blessing. The Star Luo Empire already had one Heavenly Calamity Douluo; it absolutely could not have a second.

After wandering around a little longer, the two began their return journey.

By the time they returned to Star Luo City after eating, drinking, and having fun along the way, it was already the following evening.

Standing before the doors of her bedchamber, Xu Jiujiu nervously pursed her lips. After hesitating for a long while, she finally said softly, "Um... my feet are sore. Do you want to come in and massage them for me?"

Tsk. It seemed this girl had awakened some strange preference.

Qiangu Yunche checked the time, then said with righteous conviction, "I'm someone who can't bear to see others suffer."

"Come on, get in the room with me!"

Xu Jiujiu rolled her pretty eyes at Qiangu Yunche, but merely allowed him to pull her into the bedchamber.

Their relationship had long surpassed the boundaries of friendship and entered the most delicate stage between a man and a woman.

Though its progress seemed somewhat too fast and hasty, it was a situation both of them were happy to see.

Xu Jiujiu knew very clearly that if a relationship was destined to be tied to interests, then what those involved should do was not remove those interests from the relationship, but continuously deepen the connection between their feelings and interests.

Once their interests were thoroughly fused together, their feelings might undergo a transformation as well.

Looking at Qiangu Yunche's upright back, Xu Jiujiu curled her lips into a faint smile.

Compared to her many elders and ancestors, she was fortunate. At the very least, she had encountered a peerless genius with almost no flaws, someone destined to dominate his era.

Only someone like that could make her fall for him and set aside her pride and arrogance as a princess to pursue him, to become the green leaf that set off his dazzling brilliance.

Xu Jiujiu had indeed been right about one thing: admiring strength was an instinct flowing through the blood of more than eighty percent of people across the continent. Astonishing talent and strength were already the path to invincibility, but when combined with unmatched looks and temperament, they became an absolute kill shot for all female Soul Masters and a small portion of male Soul Masters.

In Xu Jiujiu's view, calling Qiangu Yunche the world's greatest succubus would not be an exaggeration.
