True Brothers Are the Ones Who Become Your Woman When You Need One!

Although his gaze was heavy, Tang Chuan's heart remained unmoved. His mind rapidly spun through every possible escape route—Soul Skill? Simulation!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Scarlet King?!"

"I've got it!"

Just as the several Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts suddenly leaped up, their sharp claws tearing through the air with shrill howls as they pounced toward Qian Renxue—

"Boom!!!"

A violent boom suddenly rang out. A Crimson Red, thunder-like figure plunged straight down from high above and crashed heavily to the ground before Qian Renxue.

The instant the figure landed, a huge wave of flames swept across the ground. The earth cracked, and dust billowed, as if a mountain had collapsed. The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were instantly frightened into retreating.

"Roar!!!"

Following that soul-shaking roar, the Crimson Red figure finally became clear.

It was a massive, three-headed, lion-shaped beast. Its entire body was blood-red, flames burned across it, and endless majesty and fury shone in its pupils. It was none other than the Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff!

The Scarlet King suddenly raised one of its heads. Its eyes blazed like torches as it swept its Heaven-Soaring fury across the surroundings. The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts that had just been eager to attack instantly froze under its gaze!

"Roar—"

Another furious roar rang out.

In the next moment, the massive bodies of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts began to tremble. They retreated repeatedly, and some even turned and fled. In the blink of an eye, they scattered into the forest like mice seeing a cat.

"What's going on? Why is this fellow saving me?"

Looking at the sudden turn of events before her, Qian Renxue stood rooted to the spot, her face filled with confusion. For a moment, she even forgot to resist or flee.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched the Soul Beasts scatter and the Scarlet King suddenly appear to save a human. Her entire face was stunned as she spoke in human language:

"Scarlet King? What are you doing?"

The next second, her golden eyes narrowed abruptly. The vertical eye in the center of her forehead suddenly opened, releasing a strange crimson glow as if probing for something.

"No, you're not the Scarlet King!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered. Her voice was surprisingly clear and feminine, filled with fury and shock.

"Roar—"

"You're courting death!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared again. The surrounding forest seemed to tremble, while Golden Red light soared into the sky and a huge Soul Power Fluctuation erupted like a volcano!

As soon as her voice fell, she leaped up. Golden Flames surged beneath her claws as she pounced straight toward the Scarlet King, as if she intended to tear the imposter before her to pieces.

Not far away, the Scarlet King's body suddenly shook. His blood-red form began to twist and contract. The Crimson Red fur, muscles, and sharp claws rapidly withdrew. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a Blue-Clad Youth dressed in blue martial attire—Tang Chuan!

"As expected, she saw through me!" Tang Chuan cursed under his breath, his gaze turning cold. The next second, he shot backward, then landed on one knee and scooped up the dying Qian Renxue from the ground. He thought to himself, This woman is truly foolish. She actually dared to target the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

However, the instant he pulled Qian Renxue into his arms, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's massive body was already rushing toward him with a violent current of air, as if it could devour them both in the next moment!

Her claws had arrived, leaving only a few meters between them!

"Bang—!"

Tang Chuan had been prepared. While holding Qian Renxue, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone erupted with dazzling blue-gold light. Under the infusion of Soul Power, his body suddenly shot upward, transforming into a streak of Golden Light that soared straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he was suspended dozens of meters above the ground!

The difference between being struck and escaping had been no more than a hair's breadth.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's claws narrowly grazed the soles of Tang Chuan's feet, slicing through an afterimage!

"What? He can actually fly?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised her head and roared furiously. Strange light surged from her forehead eye as she vented her helpless rage.

Floating in midair, Tang Chuan looked down at Qian Renxue, who was already somewhat unconscious in his arms. After sensing that her breathing remained weak but steady, he gently let out a breath and said:

"What a troublesome woman."

Then he raised his head and looked once more at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion below.

At that moment, the Imperial Auspicious Beast was glaring furiously at him. Strange light churned in her vertical eye, while Golden Flames raged beneath her limbs. Her icy pressure bore down like a mountain range, as if she would leap into the air and tear Tang Chuan apart in the next instant.

The truth, however, was that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not fly at all. At that moment, she was furiously pawing at the ground before her, looking utterly enraged.

She had managed to intercept the airborne Qian Renxue earlier by summoning nearby flying Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts. But those flying Soul Beasts had all been scared away by the Scarlet King's roar when Tang Chuan transformed. Some had even been so terrified that they flew away while relieving themselves in terror.

Looking at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who resembled a puppy that was difficult to placate once angered, Tang Chuan's expression did not change. He even smiled and waved lightly at her:

"Auspicious Beast, bye-bye. Don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. I was just passing by, hehe."

His tone was relaxed, but the instant his voice fell, blue-gold light suddenly exploded beneath his feet.

"Whoosh—"

The next second, Tang Chuan shot through the air like an arrow. His figure traced an extreme arc across the sky above the forest sea, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the distant, verdant horizon.

"Ah!!!"

"Wretched human, don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I'll tear you to pieces!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared at the sky. Golden light spread from her body like a tide, directly shaking several Hundred-Year ancient trees around her until they snapped and crashed down. The ground cracked inch by inch!

Several hours later, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Night slowly descended. Only the chirping of insects and the occasional sound of wind remained among the dense trees.

High in the sky, Stars dotted the heavens, and faint silver light filtered through the gaps between the leaves.

In a clearing surrounded by thick forest, a burning campfire crackled. Its warm light illuminated the surroundings.

Not far from the campfire, beneath an ancient tree, a golden-haired man lay quietly.

He was a handsome man. At that moment, however, his brows were slightly furrowed and his face was somewhat pale, though his breathing was steady.

"Mm..."

He moved slightly, then slowly opened his eyes.

Qian Renxue's pupils shimmered with confusion in the firelight. After a moment, she coughed softly and raised a hand to touch her chest.

Beneath her fingertips was a layer of blood that had already scabbed over. Although the wound had not yet fully healed, the intense pain had disappeared. Clearly, she had received extremely meticulous treatment.

With some difficulty, Qian Renxue sat up and warily scanned her surroundings. When her gaze fell upon the young man's back beside the campfire, she could not help but freeze.

In the firelight, the Blue-Clad Youth was squatting beside the flames, turning a Soft Bone Rabbit that had already been cleaned in his hands. The rabbit meat slowly roasted golden-brown over the fire, filling the air with fragrance.

The youth's movements were calm and his expression focused, as if he had long anticipated the person behind him waking up, yet he did not turn around.

Qian Renxue parted her lips slightly. Her voice still carried a trace of weakness. "You... saved me?"

Tang Chuan did not turn around. He merely said indifferently, "I wouldn't call it saving you. It was just something I did along the way."

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me." The youth replied softly without turning around, his tone almost commanding. "Since you're awake, don't move around. Your injuries haven't fully healed."

Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment. She looked down at her clothes and discovered that they had been washed clean at some point, while her wounds had also been properly bandaged. Her heart trembled slightly.

Immediately afterward, a complicated look passed through her golden eyes.

Slowly sitting up, Qian Renxue once again looked at the young man's back as he turned the roasting meat in the distance. Her voice was weak but carried a trace of inquiry. "What's your name?"

"Tang Chuan." Tang Chuan did not turn around and merely answered indifferently.

"Tang Chuan?" Qian Renxue murmured softly. Then her gaze flickered, and she spoke as well. "My name is... Xue He."

Her tone was slightly hesitant, and an imperceptible glimmer flashed through her eyes.

At that moment, Qian Renxue was still maintaining her disguise as Xue Qinghe, so she could not reveal her identity. The name Xue He could be explained naturally without seeming too abrupt.

Only then did Tang Chuan turn and glance at him. His gaze swept over his golden short hair and handsome yet slightly weak face before he casually asked:

"Xue He? That's quite an elegant name."

You're pretty good at pretending, aren't you?

If I hadn't read The Tang Family Continent, I might really have been fooled by you.

After saying that, Tang Chuan turned around and continued focusing on roasting the Soft Bone Rabbit in his hands.

"What exactly is this young man's background?" Looking at Tang Chuan again, Qian Renxue secretly pondered. As the successor of Spirit Hall, she naturally possessed an extremely strong sense of vigilance.

Based on her judgment, she knew clearly that unless one was a flying Soul Master, not even a Spirit Douluo could hover and fly in the air like that.

Yet the young man named Tang Chuan could not only fly, but also move extremely fast. When he had taken her away from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's encirclement, he had seemed almost capable of Teleportation.

He could even transform into the appearance of a Soul Beast.

The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the more shocked she became, and her brows unconsciously furrowed.

Even if she were a fool, she could still tell that this young man was full of secrets. However, he had saved her life after all. She could not possibly repay his kindness with enmity, could she?

He had set his sights on her Spirit Bone, then said, "You're eating rabbit. You've already embarked on the Path to Death!"

Qian Renxue still could not bring herself to do something so shameless.

As long as he did not harm her or oppose Spirit Hall, then he was a friend!

Just then—

"Gurgle—" A sudden and awkward sound rang out as Qian Renxue's stomach let out a series of uncooperative growls.

She froze at once, and a trace of barely noticeable embarrassment appeared on her face.

Tang Chuan raised his brows at the sound and cast her a sidelong glance. Seeing her unnatural expression, he immediately smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Hungry?" Tang Chuan casually tore off an entire hind leg from the golden, fragrant roasted rabbit in his hand, including some crisp, charred skin and meat, and held it out toward Qian Renxue.

"Thank you, Brother Tang Chuan!" Qian Renxue glanced at the rabbit leg in Tang Chuan's hand. After a moment of silence, she finally reached out and accepted it.

"Become brothers with me!?"

At those words, Tang Chuan's face immediately showed a trace of awkwardness. Looking at the cross-dressed Qian Renxue, he gave an ambiguous little smile and suddenly remembered a line from The Unrivaled Tang Sect:

True brothers are the ones who become your woman when you need one!
