Kidnapping A-Yin [Seeking Follow-up Reads]

"Who? Who is speaking?"

A-Yin snapped her head up, looking at the three women before her in a panic.

A mass of pitch-black liquid surged from Liu Erlong's chest, coalescing into a man's face in mid-air and curling its lips into a grin.

"What do you think, Miss Blue Silver Empress?"

"You—what are you?!"

"Venom Symbiote, Jiang Ce. You have been chosen—to become my mount."

A-Yin's voice went out of tune.

She had lived for one hundred thousand years and had never seen such a bizarre thing.

A smacking sound came from the corner of the private room.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast lay on the table, clutching a roast chicken with both front paws, her mouth covered in grease as her tail whipped around like a propeller.

"Mmph... so delicious! The human world is truly interesting!"

A-Yin's pupils constricted—how did the lifeblood of the Star Dou Great Forest end up here?

Jiang Ce's tentacle swayed in front of her, pulling her attention back: "You're barely over level sixty and you dare to wander around? Are you not afraid of being discovered?"

A-Yin pressed her lips together.

"Those Clear Sky Twins from earlier, do you even know who they are?"

A-Yin glanced timidly at Liu Erlong, Ye Yingling, and Tang Yuehua—

All three young women were looking at her with strange expressions, as if they were watching a little rabbit that had walked right into a trap.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast ignored her entirely, burying her head in a plate of ribs.

"...I only know they are from the Clear Sky Sect."

"You have half-baked information and yet such great courage." Jiang Ce's tentacle tapped her forehead. "Their father is a level ninety-five Title Douluo, and their grandfather is a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo. You're hanging around them—do you have a death wish?"

A-Yin froze.

Fear washed over her like ice water, and her body trembled.

"Heh heh, you silly little head." Jiang Ce knocked on her skull. "But you're lucky to have met me."

"I can help you hide your aura so that even a Peerless Douluo won't be able to tell you are a one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. I can also grant you power—just like them."

The tentacle pointed toward the three women.

"Smack, smack... this is delicious too!" The Imperial Auspicious Beast held a piece of roast meat in her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a squirrel's. "Keep talking, don't mind me."

A-Yin's mouth twitched. She turned to Jiang Ce and bit her lip, asking the most critical question: "You... you don't want my Soul Ring or Soul Bone?"

"It's not those that I have my eye on. It's your body."

A-Yin's heart skipped a beat.

No need for a Soul Ring or Soul Bone, the ability to hide her aura, and the chance to gain power—

It was a gift from the heavens.

She lowered her head, then looked up at the three women again.

Their strength was terrifying; she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast hadn't even looked up, happily devouring her meal. Yes.

"I agree." Her voice was soft, but firm.

If he didn't want her Soul Ring or Soul Bone and only wanted her, what else did she have to fear?

"Very good."

A mass of pitch-black liquid surged from Tang Yuehua's body and lunged toward A-Yin.

Her blue dress was decomposed and replaced; a black silk bodysuit wrapped around her from neck to ankle, clinging tightly to every inch of her skin.

"Ah—!" A-Yin gasped, her hands not knowing where to cover.

The black silk bodysuit accentuated her proud curves, making them even more eye-catching than they had been in her dress, and it was sheer enough to reveal what lay beneath.

"Tsk tsk, another white tiger coin. This shape is truly perfect."

A-Yin blushed to the tips of her hair, biting her lip and wanting to curse, but the sticky sensation made her legs go weak.

"This outfit is too revealing..."

"There's no one else here anyway. I'll cover it with another layer when we go out."

A-Yin still shyly blocked her chest.

"Mmph... are you playing this game again?" The Imperial Auspicious Beast raised her head, her three eyes rolling around as she looked at them before burying her face back into her food.

"Although it's sticky, it makes you stronger! I'm wearing it too!"

She flicked her tail, which was wrapped in the Venom symbiote.

As A-Yin felt shy, a massive amount of information poured into her mind like cream.

Hundreds upon thousands of skills, amplification secret arts, combat techniques, and camouflage abilities.

She froze completely.

Her physical fitness, mental power, and recovery rate had all increased fivefold.

Camouflage ability—

She wouldn't be exposed even if she stood before a Peerless Douluo.

"Is... is this real?"

"Otherwise? How else do you think they could be so strong?"

A-Yin looked toward the three women.

The black silk bodysuits on their bodies surged, transforming back into normal clothing that wrapped around them.

She had struck gold.

No, she had been found by a treasure.

"Delicious, delicious! Another plate!" The Imperial Auspicious Beast had swept through most of the dishes on the table, her belly round and bulging, yet she still reached out with her paws.

Ye Yingling smiled and pushed a plate over: "Aren't you full after eating so much?"

"Not at all! I am the Imperial Auspicious Beast! My digestive ability is incredibly strong!" The Auspicious Beast patted her belly and let out a burp.

Tang Yuehua shook her head helplessly, taking a handkerchief to wipe the beast's mouth.

A-Yin's lips curled into a smile; the very lifeline of the Star Dou Great Forest was being fed like a gluttonous little pet.

At this moment, her gaze swept over Tang Yuehua, connecting with the memories in her mind:

"You... you are their younger sister? You beat your second brother until he was so enraged he fainted?"

The air in the private room solidified for a moment.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast stopped chewing, her three eyes darting around, before she continued to chew.

What was gossip compared to eating? Especially when human delicacies were so delicious.

Tang Yuehua blushed to the tips of her hair, lowering her head to wring her hands, stammering: "I... I just wanted to spar with my brother... who knew he was so fragile..."

Ye Yingling held back her laughter until her shoulders shook.

Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow: "Spar? That was a one-sided beatdown."

Tang Yuehua wished she could bury her face under the table: "Teacher..."

Jiang Ce patted her head with a tentacle: "Alright, alright, brotherly love and sisterly respect, I understand."

Tang Yuehua was deeply embarrassed, burying her head into her ample chest.

"Mmm... you guys are so noisy." The Imperial Auspicious Beast licked her paws in satisfaction, rolled over to expose her furry belly, and sprawled out on the table.

"The human world is so fun. The food is delicious, the fighting is fun to watch, and there are new friends. I've decided not to go back. If Emperor Heaven wants to be angry, let him be angry."

A-Yin looked at this beast, devoid of any majesty, then at the slightly wriggling clothing on her own body, and finally at the three women.

What kind of monsters were this group?

Jiang Ce's voice drifted over: "Don't space out. Try this."

A tentacle coiled around the Heaven Snow Spirit Soup and brought it to her lips.

A-Yin bit down instinctively, the savory broth exploding in her mouth; she had never tasted anything so delicious.

"Good, right?"

"...Good." A-Yin replied softly, her ears burning.

"Next time, you'll be the one feeding me."

A-Yin: "..."

Liu Erlong let out a meaningful "tsk": "Another one on the pirate ship."

Ye Yingling raised her hand to add: "And voluntarily, at that."

Tang Yuehua finally lifted her head and whispered: "No one can escape Teacher's methods."

The Imperial Auspicious Beast rolled over and chimed in incoherently: "Can't escape, can't escape! Another plate!"

A-Yin looked at this group—no, this group of humans and Soul Beasts—and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a helpless arc.

Perhaps, following them wasn't such a bad thing.

Outside the private room, the night grew heavy.

In the hotel lobby, the onlookers were still gossiping:

"The Clear Sky Twins were beaten and ran away... that masked control-type is too perverted... a monster with a Ten Thousand Year fourth Soul Ring! And there are two of them!"

The news spread rapidly, directly causing a massive shock.
