Little Silver Dragon, Help Me Cultivate!

"Wow!"

"So this is human food? It's so good!"

Little Silver Dragon Gu Yuena cupped her face in both hands. Her cheeks were stuffed, and her expression was pure bliss.

No matter the fantasy world, human cuisine stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Xiao Wu munched on a raw carrot, her wide eyes fixed on the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon Lord.

A happy smile spread across her face.

"Golden Dragon, you're... at the Soul King level now. Why don't you stay? I could spar with you."

Lu Ming blushed, his hand freezing for an instant.

Spar? What kind of sparring?

"Mm, all right."

"I just broke through and gained my fifth Gold Soul Ring. I do need to solidify my foundation, and ordinary opponents can't help me improve anymore."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Xiao Wu ached all over.

She had no desire to wash the dishes too, so the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python would have to put up with it!

When she cooked for My Lord, Xiao Wu could still order the Ferocious Beasts around a little.

But she wouldn't dare make them wash the dishes.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately began cultivating. As the Second Team's second-strongest attacker, she couldn't let anyone besides the Golden Dragon Lord surpass her.

"The Auspicious Beast is working way too hard!"

Xiao Wu was exhausted in body and mind. But her bloodline was weak to begin with, and being allowed to stay by the Golden Dragon Lord's side and cook for him every day was an incredible blessing.

She ought to work even harder.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, make sure you wash those dishes properly. I'll check!"

After giving them their instructions, Xiao Wu sat cross-legged beside the Lake of Life and began meditating.

Lu Ming returned to his room.

Little Silver Dragon was wrapped from head to toe in a Pink Quilt, curled up like a kitten.

"Little Silver Dragon, isn't this my room?"

Lu Ming leaned closer. A rosy blush covered Little Silver Dragon's fair, oval face.

"I... I'm scared. I want to sleep with you tonight."

Little Silver Dragon's voice was lovely, and the long lashes framing her bell-bright eyes were beautiful.

Lu Ming looked around the room. Nearly everything was pink.

It was the very picture of a cute girl's room!

"All right, then!"

Lu Ming took off his robe, revealing a broad chest and sharply defined abs.

Gu Yuena had been shy at first and only dared to sneak glances. But as Lu Ming approached, she found herself staring.

Shy?

After everything they'd already done, what was there left to be shy about?

Lu Ming pulled back the Pink Quilt wrapped around Gu Yuena. Beneath it, she wore a thin, cool garment that showed off her graceful curves.

Clear moonlight fell across her face, and her silver hair shimmered like a river of time.

Lu Ming froze.

One glance, and a lifetime. Gu Yuena.

"Little Silver Dragon..."

Lu Ming's breathing suddenly quickened, and his face flushed.

"What?"

"Help me cultivate."

Gu Yuena lowered her head shyly and gave a tiny nod.

The night... was beautiful!

"Third Soul Skill, Instantaneous Movement!"

"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"

At dawn, Xiao Wu unleashed that quick combination on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

She used Instantaneous Movement to close in, bringing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion within range of Charm. The brief opening was all Xiao Wu needed. She snared the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with her long Scorpion Braid, then drove a Waist Bow kick into her back and sent her flying skyward.

Xiao Wu hadn't held back. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had asked her not to, and would have been displeased if she had.

Eight-Stage Fall!

It was the move that had left such a deep impression on Bu Le in the original story. It counted as Xiao Wu's Self-Created Soul Skill!

"Hmph!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave a soft snort in midair, the corners of her mouth lifting.

"Got you!"

She caught Xiao Wu's long leg in her hand. The Golden Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind her, and with a surge of strength, she slammed Xiao Wu into the lake.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had held back. Xiao Wu was sturdy, but hitting the Lake of Life at that speed would otherwise have been no different from hitting solid stone.

Splash!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xiao Wu swallowed several mouthfuls of water. It took a few coughs before she could catch her breath.

"The Auspicious Beast is too strong. I need to work even harder!"

Xiao Wu felt a little down. Could hard work really make up for the gap between their bloodlines?

"Looking good, Little Rui! Come spar with me."

They turned toward the voice and saw Lu Ming and Gu Yuena walk out of the house hand in hand.

Gu Yuena looked radiant. A faint smile softened her usually cool expression; she seemed to have rested well last night.

Lu Ming's aura was impressive, with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline surging through him. But his right hand, hidden behind his back, was pressed firmly against his lower back!

Clearly, he'd had a strenuous night.

"Gladly! Little Rui would love to learn a move or two from My Lord!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion took an attacking stance, and her Golden Dragon threw back its head with a roar.

Lu Ming smiled and suppressed his cultivation to the Soul Grandmaster level. With both a bloodline and cultivation advantage, he'd give the Three-Eyed Golden Lion no chance otherwise.

"Second Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Roar!"

(The order of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Soul Skills has been adjusted here, and their effects will differ somewhat too.)

A mental attack? I have one of those too!

"Golden Dragon's Finale!"

Two blasts of golden energy collided. At first, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could push back, but as time passed, her Golden Dragon began to falter.

"Third Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Head!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion knew she couldn't let this drag on. She broke Lu Ming's offensive and searched for an opening.

With Golden Dragon's Finale countered, Lu Ming smiled. Little Rui had good battle instincts. She'd made her decision quickly and kept her composure under pressure.

"Little Rui, if you can still stand after my next attack, I'll teach you this Self-Created Soul Skill!"

A Self-Created Soul Skill from the Golden Dragon Lord! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so excited she could barely keep her feet on the ground.

A Self-Created Soul Skill could grow stronger as a Soul Master's understanding deepened. At a high enough level, it might even develop into a divine skill!

The Golden Dragon bloodline was itself a branch of the Golden Dragon King's. Lu Ming's Self-Created Soul Skill was a perfect fit for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Golden Dragon.

Self-Created Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Mysterious Circle Kill!

A Golden Tornado formed and swallowed the Golden Dragon Head the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had launched. The tornado doubled in size, growing even more powerful!

What?

For a moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had no idea what to do!

She hadn't seen Lu Ming fight at the Imperial City Soul Arena. If she had, she would at least have been prepared.

"Come on!"

The Golden Dragon roared and raised its powerful foreclaws to shield itself.

Its golden dragon wings joined them in resisting the Golden Tornado.

The wind whirled around her, and the Soul Power within it tore at her like countless blades.

Her Martial Soul began to fade under the Golden Tornado. Slits appeared across the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fitted golden outfit.

Golden blood seeped through them.

"The Auspicious Beast can't hold out much longer!"

Gu Yuena warned him.

Lu Ming did not move.

Back then, Tang San had entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body while he was only a Soul Elder. The energy that had battered him was far fiercer than Lu Ming's Golden Dragon Mysterious Circle Kill.

Little Rui can do this!

And even if she couldn't, Lu Ming would not let her die.
