Sign in Qian Renxue's Embrace, Become Douluo's Great Villain Chapter 42

As Huo Wu's soul-stirring voice faded away, the last shred of Lin Fan's reason was swept away, and he lunged forward like a starving tiger...

When Lin Fan woke up, he found that the sun was already high in the sky, and Huo Wu was still sleeping soundly beside him.

"Sweetheart... time to wake up...!"

Lin Fan reached out and pinched Huo Wu's pretty face.

"Mmm... no... let me sleep a little longer..."

A hazy murmur escaped her lips as Huo Wu rolled over to continue sleeping, but the next moment, as if realizing something, she sat bolt upright!

"You..."

When she saw Lin Fan beside her, her pretty face turned as red as a ripe apple in an instant!

Yesterday, she only remembered eating and drinking with Lin Fan; she had forgotten everything else!

"You little rascal, bullying me after getting drunk yesterday—you'd better take responsibility!"

Lin Fan said in a soft, delicate voice, mimicking a girl's tone with a cheeky expression.

"You're the pervert! Taking advantage of me and then acting like the victim!"

Huo Wu swung a pillow, striking Lin Fan with all her might!

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. I have to head to the Star Dou Forest today to help Zhuqing and the others obtain their soul rings. Do you want to come along?!"

Lin Fan reached out to wrap his arm around Huo Wu's slender waist as he asked.

"I want to go, but I haven't been back all night. My brother and the others must be worried, and there's the Blazing Academy's soul fight today..."

Huo Wu said with a hint of regret.

"Fine, then take this medicinal pill. Your strength should improve a bit more!"

Lin Fan didn't force the issue, gently slipping a pale cyan pill into Huo Wu's rosy little mouth.

He had prepared the corresponding pill for Huo Wu back at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; even then, he had already regarded her as his woman!

Huo Wu didn't have any doubts about Lin Fan's words, because after a night of cultivation, her own soul power had already risen from level 42 to level 45!

As the pill entered her system, the intensity of the soul power radiating from Huo Wu's body increased at a rate visible to the naked eye, finally settling at the level 48 mark.

To have such an improvement at the Soul Ancestor level was already quite monstrous!

"Lin Fan, thank you!"

Huo Wu leaned against Lin Fan's chest, the expression on her pretty face somewhat complex.

Lin Fan's appearance had shattered her perceptions time and time again; the cultivation results that would normally take years of bitter training to achieve were now as simple as eating and drinking!

"Why are you being so polite with me? Besides, you're already my woman—it's time to change how you address me!"

Lin Fan feigned anger and gave Huo Wu's shapely backside a light pat.

"Husband~!"

Huo Wu's face flushed slightly, her flowery lips parting, and the sound she made nearly caused Lin Fan's bones to melt.

"Good. Be a good girl, and I'll come find you after I return from the Star Dou Forest!"

Lin Fan cupped Huo Wu's pretty face, and after the words left his lips, he planted a firm kiss on her snow-white cheek before leaving, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission to capture Huo Wu. Soul power increased by two levels, and you have obtained the Fire Attribute Soul Core. Currently 30% activated!"

Just as Lin Fan left the hotel, Daji's voice echoed in his mind.

"Fire Attribute Soul Core? 30%? What does that mean!?"

Lin Fan felt a bit puzzled. A soul core was something that usually only formed within the body after reaching the Title Douluo realm; it wasn't surprising that it appeared early for a cheater like him, but the other information was what mattered.

"Master, once the Fire Attribute Soul Core is 100% activated, you will be able to convert the soul power in your body into the fire attribute, enhancing your own attacks!"

Daji explained.

"Then how can I increase the activation progress!?"

Lin Fan continued to press.

"As long as the Master engages in dual cultivation with a fire-attribute female, the system will increase the progress based on the other party's beauty and soul power level. The 30% is the result of the Master's session with Huo Wu."

Daji's explanation made everything clear to Lin Fan!

Huo Wu's beauty and figure went without saying—they were top-tier. The reason it was only 30% activated was simply because her soul power level was too low!

"It seems I'll have to find a beauty with a high soul power level and a fire-attribute martial soul to dual cultivate with..."

Lin Fan had a plan in mind, though he couldn't force such things; it would depend on fate!

Once he fully activated the Fire Attribute Soul Core, the soul power within his body would be able to convert into the fire attribute, and his overall strength would see a massive boost.

After composing himself, Lin Fan returned to the residence of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team to pick up Xiao Wu and the others, intending to head to the Star Dou Forest.

"It looks like our sisterhood is about to gain a new member!"

Watching Lin Fan return with such high spirits, Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh!

"Hmph, this guy always has that smug, cheap look after he gets his way..."

Zhu Zhuqing muttered softly.

"Zhuqing, what are you talking about?!"

Lin Fan walked over with a smile and asked.

"N-nothing, husband. Everyone's here, let's go quickly!"

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly changed the subject. She clearly remembered how severely she was punished at night the last time Lin Fan overheard her badmouthing him!

And so, Lin Fan led the five women to an open space and slowly ascended in a helicopter!

Except for Ye Lingling, who was full of curiosity on her first plane ride, the other four were already used to it!

The plane flew at high speed under Lin Fan's control. Three hours later, they arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest!

"Brother Lin Fan, that Titan Giant won't appear again this time, right?"

After getting off the plane, Ning Rongrong asked with lingering fear.

"Don't worry, Rongrong, it won't!"

Lin Fan's answer was very firm. Beside him, Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue guiltily.

Ning Rongrong was still in the dark. The appearance of the Titan Giant last time was entirely to cooperate with Lin Fan in staging a hero-saves-the-beauty scene!

Lin Fan had originally planned to completely win Ning Rongrong's body and mind after that, but he didn't expect the damned Sword Douluo to have placed a restriction on her body, leaving Lin Fan able to look but not touch!

Before this, he naturally couldn't let his lie be exposed. After they had already consummated their relationship, he would confess to Ning Rongrong. At that time, whether he had to kneel on a washboard or a durian, he would accept it!

Next was to obtain spirit rings. Xiao Wu, being a spirit beast herself, could sense the types and general ages of other spirit beasts around. Lin Fan's spiritual perception was extremely strong, so finding them was very quick!

In just two hours, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan's spirit rings were successfully obtained.

"Now, only Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring is left. Let's find a feline spirit beast, around 6,000 years old!"

Lin Fan said. This was about Zhu Zhuqing's absorption limit!

"Mhm!"

Everyone nodded, then lined up and slowly moved forward, with Lin Fan in the center. This way, he could ensure everyone's safety!

What no one knew was that in the distance, a spirit beast had been watching them the entire time, completely undetected by Lin Fan's keen senses!

The spirit beast was about two meters long and five feet tall at the shoulder. Its entire body was covered in golden fur, and its body seemed like semi-transparent crystal, possessing a strange texture!

The spirit beast's overall appearance was very much like a lion, with its four claws seeming to burn with golden flames!

The most peculiar feature was on its forehead, where there was a vertical eye like Erlang Shen's, its pupil emitting a strange red light!

"So this is what humans are... How interesting!"

"And that human named Lin Fan, he seems very special..."

The spirit beast spoke human language, staring in the direction Lin Fan and the others had gone, its eyes filled with curiosity, confusion, and envy.

"It's so boring to stay in this forest every day, why not..."

The spirit beast's eyes flashed, and then its body slowly began to change. In a moment, it actually transformed into a human girl!

Chapter 68: Emperor Auspicious Beast

After transforming into a human girl, the spirit beast followed Lin Fan and the others from a distance, her large eyes full of curiosity!

But she didn't notice that from the forest behind her, two green lights emanated. A Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat, about 5 meters long and covered in pitch-black scales, had locked onto her!

Although the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat wasn't very intelligent, it had a strong premonition that eating the woman in front of it would greatly increase its strength, even causing its bloodline to transform!

Whoosh!

Driven by its hunter's instinct, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat pushed off the ground with its powerful hind legs, its massive body shooting out like an arrow from a bow, pouncing towards the girl!

The girl had been observing Lin Fan and the others' movements. It wasn't until a huge shadow enveloped her that she snapped back to reality. She hurriedly dodged to the side!

Perhaps it was because she had just transformed into human form and wasn't used to this body yet, but although she dodged the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat's sharp teeth, its claws fiercely struck the girl's shoulder!

Ah!

A girl's scream rang out, extremely noticeable in the quiet forest!

Lin Fan's attention was instantly drawn. He looked back and saw a girl sitting on the ground in a sorry state, with the ferocious Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat pouncing at her again!

"Lingbo Microsteps!"

Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He let out a low shout, and his figure turned into a stream of light, appearing in front of the girl in the blink of an eye!

His right hand transformed into a dragon claw, and he directly struck the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat's head!

Puchi!

The Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat's head, covered by its hard scales, was as fragile as tofu under Lin Fan's dragon claw. Five gruesome bloody holes instantly appeared on its head!

In pain, the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat fell to the ground, twitching and struggling frantically. It was already at the end of its rope!

"Zhuqing, finish it off!"

This spirit beast was very suitable for Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring in terms of both age and attributes, so it couldn't be wasted!

After giving instructions, Lin Fan turned his gaze toward the young girl in his arms.

"Are you alr—"

Lin Fan cut himself off mid-sentence, his expression turning blank as if his soul had been ripped away, leaving him frozen in place!

The girl's frame was slight and delicate; held in his arms, she felt as light as a falling leaf.

Her powder-blue hair cascaded down, and her long, curled eyelashes framed ice-blue eyes that resembled the purest sapphires in the world—bright and devoid of a single impurity!

Her small, upturned nose and thin, slightly pale lips trembled ever so slightly. Her slender, willow-leaf brows were knit together in pain, a sight that stirred endless pity in anyone who beheld her!

Looking downward, the clothing on the right side of the girl's shoulder had been completely shredded. The exposed skin was as luminous as moonlight, even emitting a faint, ethereal glow.

Yet, what was truly bizarre was that the blood flowing from her wound was not red, but a pale gold!

"Cough... bear with me!"

It took Lin Fan a long while to snap back to reality. He retrieved medicinal powder from his Storage Soul Tool and gently took hold of the girl's arm to apply it.

Her skin was soft and smooth; touching it felt like stroking delicate, fine-grained mutton-fat jade—an indescribably wonderful sensation.

"Ah..."

As the powder touched the wound, the girl bit her lip, letting out a soft, pained whimper. Combined with her pitiable expression, it nearly sent Lin Fan tumbling to the ground.

"There, the bleeding has stopped. My medicine will heal your wound completely without leaving a single scar."

"Oh, right, what is your name? And how did you end up here all by yourself!?"

Lin Fan asked. The girl was about the same age as Xiao Wu and the others, yet her cultivation base was pitifully low! Even the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest was incredibly dangerous for someone like her.

"I... my name is Rui'er. Big Brother, thank you for saving me..."

The girl only offered her name, seemingly unwilling to answer Lin Fan's other questions.
