Heavenly Thunder Vine News

He... he didn't have improper thoughts about me, did he?

Seeing Tang Tian's unblinking gaze, Ye Ruxue immediately misunderstood, thinking he wanted her to offer herself to him.

If he had not helped her, she feared she would have already been unable to resist giving him a sword strike.

"Miss Ye, can you give this Thunderclap Beast to me?"

Just as Ye Ruxue was struggling over whether to draw her sword, Tang Tian spoke somewhat awkwardly.

One had to know that when Ximen Lian and the four Falling Star Sect disciples had chased Ye Ruxue earlier, they had also been after the Thunderclap Beast.

Ye Ruxue would rather be surrounded and attacked, even nearly suffer humiliation, than hand over the Thunderclap Beast. That was enough to show how precious it was.

"This..."

Ye Ruxue had already imagined Tang Tian's intentions, yet she had not expected it to be for the Thunderclap Beast.

Her wishful thinking made even her frosty, beautiful face flush slightly red.

Yet for some reason, upon seeing that Tang Tian's goal was not her, she felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Her face turned cold as she said expressionlessly, "What? Does Young Master Tang also want the Thunderclap Beast?"

"A misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding."

Seeing Ye Ruxue's unfriendly gaze, Tang Tian hurriedly waved his hands.

Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Miss Ye, I only want some of the Thunderclap Beast's blood. I have no intention of competing with you for it. If you cannot give me the Thunderclap Beast, then some blood will do."

"Fine, but I need to ask the Thunderclap Beast itself what it thinks."

Ye Ruxue looked at the Thunderclap Beast in her arms. As for what Tang Tian wanted its blood for, she did not ask further.

After all, everyone had their own secrets. It was not appropriate to pry.

"He saved us just now. Little Thunder, can you give him some of your blood?"

Though Ye Ruxue was frosty by nature, she was extremely gentle when looking at the little demonic beast before her.

Tang Tian was somewhat surprised by the sight and stared blankly in a daze.

The Thunderclap Beast looked at Tang Tian with its little eyes, then nodded.

"Kid, this is remarkable! This Thunderclap Beast is no ordinary one. I never expected you to encounter it. What a pity, though—this little fellow does not seem willing to follow you."

At that moment, Fan Siren's voice rang out in Tang Tian's mind.

"Why do you say that, Master Fan?"

Tang Tian wisely chose to ask without shame.

"The lightning power within this Thunderclap Beast is rather pure. It is likely a Thunderclap Beast that has returned to its ancestors. Such a Thunderclap Beast is called a Thunder Beast. At its peak, a Thunder Beast is among the supreme powers of the cosmos. If you cannot make it follow you willingly, then build a good relationship with it. That little girl has certainly gotten lucky."

After Fan Siren finished speaking, he fell silent.

"Young Master Tang, Little Thunder has agreed."

Ye Ruxue's voice remained cold. Drawing blood would harm the Thunderclap Beast, so naturally she was unhappy about it.

Tang Tian came back to his senses and nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he took out many precious spirit herbs from his spatial storage bag and placed them before the Thunderclap Beast.

"This..."

Even Ye Ruxue, no matter how composed she was, stood stunned at the sight of so many spirit herbs.

It seemed everyone in Starfall City had underestimated the Tang Family's worthless young master.

With his strength and the many spirit herbs he had brought out, how could he possibly be useless?

How laughable that the Qin Family had been so eager to break off the engagement.

All of a sudden, Ye Ruxue found herself looking forward to the outcome of Tang Tian's arranged battle with Lin Yichen.

At the sight of so many spirit herbs, the Thunderclap Beast gave a delighted cry and pounced forward.

It grabbed one of the century-old snow ginseng plants, then took a bite with a loud crunch without a second thought.

That bite seemed to sink straight into Tang Tian's heart. It hurt so much.

A century-old snow ginseng could sell for at least a thousand Lower-Grade Yuan Stones.

If used to refine pills, it could produce at least a second-grade high-tier Snow Ginseng Pill.

But after recalling Master Fan's words, Tang Tian felt much better. He would treat it as an investment.

"Little fellow, I will not take your blood for nothing. With these spirit herbs, even if you lose a little blood, you can replenish it. Moreover, after consuming these herbs, your cultivation will also improve."

Tang Tian did not treat the Thunderclap Beast as merely a demonic beast. Since he wanted to build a good relationship with it, he had to be sincere.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The Thunderclap Beast hugged the century-old snow ginseng as it ate, nodding at the same time.

After finishing the snow ginseng, it actually bit its own foreleg, and blood began to flow.

Tang Tian hurriedly took out a jade bottle and collected some blood. Then he brought out healing medicine, carefully applied it to the Thunderclap Beast's wound, and bandaged it.

This time, it was Ye Ruxue's turn to stare blankly. She had originally believed Tang Tian was domineering, scheming, even lecherous, and that when he killed, he was ruthless and merciless.

Yet the scene before her stirred her cold heart deeply.

So he could be so polite and caring toward a demonic beast?

It seemed women all over the world liked small animals and felt some fondness for men with compassion.

After Tang Tian finished, he gently stroked the Thunderclap Beast's little head and smiled. "Don't run around carelessly in the future. The outside world is full of bad people."

The Thunderclap Beast looked at Tang Tian as though it understood, then nodded.

"Miss Ye, many thanks. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Tang Tian cupped his hands and turned to leave. Though he wanted to spend more time with Ye Ruxue, time was pressing, and he did not dare delay.

"Alright. May I ask presumptuously why Young Master Tang wishes to venture into the depths of Starfall Forest?"

Ye Ruxue frowned slightly. Even experts of the Organs-Hiding Realm did not dare venture lightly into the depths of Starfall Forest.

After all, no one could be certain whether an incomparably powerful demonic beast might suddenly emerge.

"I need to search for some spirit herbs: Thunder Cherry Blossom and Heavenly Thunder Vine."

Tang Tian had a favorable impression of Ye Ruxue, so he did not hide it from her.

"Thunder Cherry Blossom? Heavenly Thunder Vine..."

Ye Ruxue gently pursed her red lips and thought carefully before saying, "I know of a place with Heavenly Thunder Vine, but there is an Advanced Bone-Forging Realm Heavenly Thunder Python there. It is extremely powerful. Even I would not dare get close to it."

At the same time, she told Tang Tian its approximate location.

"Thank you, Miss Ye. Since I know there is Heavenly Thunder Vine there, I naturally will not give up. If I have the chance someday, I will certainly come to your door to thank you."

With news of the Heavenly Thunder Vine, Tang Tian was overjoyed and immediately turned to leave for it.

"Young Master Tang, please wait a moment."

Ye Ruxue had not expected Tang Tian to leave so decisively. She hurriedly put away the spirit herbs and held the Thunderclap Beast, which was still gnawing on snow ginseng.

"Does Miss Ye have any other advice for me?"

Tang Tian was somewhat surprised. He turned around and looked at the peerless beauty before him.

"The Heavenly Thunder Python is not easy to deal with. I have nothing to do anyway, so why not accompany Young Master Tang? I can lend you a hand as well. What do you think?"

Ye Ruxue rarely took the initiative to offer help to anyone, so after speaking, she felt somewhat awkward.

Tang Tian was rather surprised upon hearing this. From his original memories, he naturally knew that Ye Ruxue, the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, was famously an icy beauty.

The Heavenly Thunder Python was naturally extremely powerful, even capable of fighting experts of the Organs-Hiding Realm.

With only Initial Blood-Burning Realm cultivation, dealing with the Heavenly Thunder Python was indeed highly risky.

"Miss Ye, it is too dangerous. You should not go. It will be more convenient for me to go alone. If anything happens, I would have no way to answer to the Ye Family head."

Though he wanted Ye Ruxue to accompany him, Tang Tian still tried his best to suppress that thought and spoke solemnly.

Yet Ye Ruxue firmly shook her head. "Young Master Tang, you saved both Ruxue and Little Thunder, and we owe you a great debt. Dealing with the Heavenly Thunder Python should not be too dangerous. Do not try to persuade me further. My mind is made up."

Tang Tian was helpless and could only agree.
