The Power of Love!

No way!?

He actually dared to say Brother Sky Dream wasn't up to it.

Damn! Who was he calling inadequate? Tian Meng was the most capable!

Wasn't it just eating a little meat? Fine, eat me if you want—let's see if I could endure it!

From this moment on, even if Tian Meng died, he would never cry out in pain!

I'll stuff you to death!

Tian Meng was burning with rage. What he could not stand most was someone saying he was inadequate. After all, he was a Ferocious Beast with more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation!

As for how he got that cultivation, don't ask. Anyway, he had more than eight hundred thousand years of it.

Once he resolved to prove himself, Tian Meng suddenly put on a tragic expression as though he were bravely marching toward death and said sorrowfully:

"Think of me, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the most handsome silkworm of the Ice Silkworm Clan, and also the one with the highest cultivation. I am not the useless worm you described, one who cannot take even this much."

"Come on. Unleash your devilish hands upon me to your heart's content. I am not afraid!"

As he spoke, the few short tentacles beneath his belly wiggled.

"I've already said this much. Aren't you embarrassed to keep trying to eat me?"

Tian Meng thought this to himself. At least, if he saw a soul beast with such spirit, he would never eat him!

Chu Yuan looked at Tian Meng, who had suddenly become so fired up, and found it very strange.

This savage...

Had gone mad!

Still, Chu Yuan did not believe a word of Tian Meng's grand declaration before dinner.

After all, he knew Tian Meng's nature. How could this fellow possibly be willing to die?

"Oh my, I've lived so long, yet I've never seen prey like you—prey that delivers itself to my door without resisting or running away. Since you're so obedient, when I eat you later, I'll chew a little less so you won't suffer as much pain!"

As Chu Yuan spoke, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

The instant Tian Meng saw that cruel smile on Chu Yuan's face, alarm bells rang in his heart.

This wasn't right! This wasn't how it was supposed to go!

"You!"

"I've clearly shown such a heroic side of myself! Why do you still want to eat me?!"

Tian Meng's plump body immediately wriggled away, putting some distance between himself and Chu Yuan.

"Sir, please have mercy and let me go. My flesh is all fat—it won't taste good!"

Tian Meng's chubby silkworm body actually began kowtowing to Chu Yuan in a very human-like manner.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan decided not to tease Tian Meng any longer.

"Open your mind." Chu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back, and his aura abruptly changed. Tian Meng's spiritual power was exceptionally strong, so he was highly sensitive to Chu Yuan's transformation.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly turn into a different beast?"

Before, Chu Yuan had given him an evil feeling. Now, however, he gave off an overwhelmingly domineering presence.

"But you have to promise me something. If I open my mind, you can't pull any tricks in my spiritual sea."

Tian Meng's tone was weak, with none of his earlier lofty spirit remaining.

"Heh. If you keep talking nonsense, I wouldn't mind swallowing you whole." Chu Yuan leaned closer, cruelty written across his face.

"I'll open it, I'll open it. Why are you being so fierce?"

Sigh, when a beast was under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to bow his head. Who told the other party to be stronger than him?

With a deeply unwilling expression, Tian Meng opened his mind. Chu Yuan slowly raised a finger, and a streak of golden light instantly entered Tian Meng's forehead.

Tian Meng immediately fell into a daze.

However, that daze lasted only half an hour. Half an hour later, Tian Meng looked at Chu Yuan with a face full of shock.

That streak of golden light had actually contained some of Chu Yuan's background and origins.

"You..."

Tian Meng was too shocked to speak.

"If I follow you, can I become a Divine Beast!?"

Tian Meng's voice was excited, even fiercely expectant.

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded and did not deny it.

"If I become a Divine Beast, wouldn't I be able to be with Bing Bing!?"

Only then did Chu Yuan suddenly remember that Tian Meng before him was Ice Empress's most devoted simp!

"You like Ice Empress, but she doesn't like you. Yet you still want to be with her, so you can only conquer her through force. But you..."

Before Chu Yuan could finish, he felt something wrap around his legs.

"So, as long as I become a Divine Beast, my strength will definitely be enough to conquer Bing Bing!"

"So that I can live happily with Bing Bing, my lord, please accept me!"

Tian Meng's voice rang loud and clear. For the sake of his love, he had to push himself hard. He had to become a Divine Beast!

Chu Yuan looked at Tian Meng and inwardly exclaimed in amazement.

"Good heavens, was this the power of love?"

Chu Yuan: Tian Meng, you wouldn't want to be unable to be with Ice Empress, would you...

Chu Yuan coughed twice and silently shook Tian Meng off his legs.

But Tian Meng soon crawled back over.

"From now on, call me Master. Although your combat strength... well, it's pretty useless, your spiritual power is still passable. In future battles, hide in the shadows and use spiritual attacks against those powerful humans."

It was not that Chu Yuan looked down on Tian Meng. Tian Meng truly had nothing left besides his spiritual power.

Honestly, setting aside his spiritual power, Tian Meng probably was not even a match for a Soul Saint.

"Thank you, Master!"

The two feelers on Tian Meng's head immediately began bowing toward Chu Yuan.

"Hahaha! Bing Bing, just wait for Brother Sky Dream to become a Divine Beast and return in glory to marry you!"

"Transform into human form first. Looking like this..."

Having a giant silkworm following him around looked far too awkward.

"Alright, Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, white light burst from Tian Meng's body. Once the white light faded, a figure appeared who looked somewhat similar to Chu Yuan.

"Hehe, um, Master, among the humans I've seen so far, aside from Bing Bing, there's only you. So I could only transform according to your appearance." Tian Meng awkwardly scratched his head of white hair.

"Is that so? Then transform according to his appearance." After speaking, Chu Yuan took out a portrait from the System Space.

The portrait depicted none other than the Asura God.

Tian Meng leaned over and glanced at the transformed appearance in Chu Yuan's hand, then grinned.

"Alright, Master."

Another flash of white light appeared. In the next moment, Tian Meng officially transformed into the Asura God's appearance.

Other than lacking the Asura God's murderous aura and having different hair color, he was practically the Asura God himself!

Looking at Tian Meng before him, Chu Yuan suddenly felt an urge to punch Tian Meng squarely in the face.

"Master, what are we doing next?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan suppressed that strange thought and said to Tian Meng:

"In a few days, we will clash with a human faction. When that happens, I want you to kill a human Titled Douluo. This will also be a training opportunity for you."

Tian Meng immediately looked as though he were about to cry. "Master, although I have more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, I gained it all by absorbing this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. My actual combat strength is very weak!"

"Is that so? Your spiritual power is extremely strong. It could even be called the strongest among soul beasts. What, you can't directly use your spiritual power to tear apart that human Titled Douluo's soul?"

Chu Yuan did not believe Tian Meng could not do it. With Tian Meng's spiritual power, tearing apart the soul of a Titled Douluo below Rank 95 should have been easy, shouldn't it?

"But..."

"Think about Bing Bing."

"Master, I think you are right. I will definitely live up to my mission and tear apart a human Titled Douluo's soul!"

Chu Yuan: See that? This was the power of love!
