Wan Xiaoyao

PS: The plot is a little disjointed because an earlier chapter was blocked and still hasn't been restored.

Under Snow Ji and Dugu Yan's combined assault, Su Ling experienced what it meant to face a formidable enemy for the first time.

He felt as though his body had been hollowed out.

Su Ling had been about to bow out in bliss midway through after exhausting his soul power, but Snow Ji and Dugu Yan found some thousand-year whale rubber somewhere. Claiming it would strengthen his body, they kept stuffing it into his mouth.

The problem was that Su Ling didn't know how to refine whale rubber either. If he didn't expel its energy in time, his body would burst and he would die.

Only in the early hours, when Snow Ji and Dugu Yan could no longer withstand their overwhelming drowsiness, did they fall into a deep sleep.

Inside Su Ling's sea of consciousness.

Seeing Su Ling take the initiative to seek her out, the Myriad Demon King rushed forward excitedly and hugged him.

"Master, Master!"

Before Su Ling could react, the two cantaloupes on the tree were already pressing against him.

"All right, all right. We'll always be together from now on. There's no need to get so excited."

Su Ling was already weak, and the Myriad Demon King's antics nearly broke through his defenses.

If he were a few years older, he would probably really die at the hands of his soul beasts. Still, this sounded an alarm bell for him.

He had to grow stronger. Otherwise, how could he command the Soul Beast Clan? How could he have little soul beasts?

This was only the beginning. Bi Ji and Zi JI hadn't even climbed aboard yet, and his martial soul had a full eighteen empty slots.

Even counting Gu Yue, Na'er, and those two in the Far North, there were still quite a few empty slots. There were a few more in the sea, but it still seemed insufficient.

"Master, just call me Yaoyao from now on." The Myriad Demon King rubbed her hands together in front of her, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Although the Myriad Demon King sounded imposing, it didn't sound like a beautiful woman's name at all.

"Mm-hmm, that name suits you very well." Su Ling reached out and patted Yaoyao's head, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

"Ahem, how about... you go by Wan Xiaoyao instead? I'll call you Xiaoyao from now on. How does that sound?"

The Myriad Demon King looked at Su Ling in puzzlement. Although she thought Wan Xiaoyao was a nice name, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Yaoyao either.

"Since Master likes it, I'll be Xiaoyao!"

Xiaoyao held out her palm, and a vine coiled around Su Ling's wrist. After repeatedly compressing and solidifying, it finally became a bracelet.

"This is a token of love from our Demon-Eyed Tree Clan. In our clan, members who like each other extend their vines and entwine them."

Wan Xiaoyao walked up to Su Ling, slipped her arms around his waist, and hugged him.

"So Master must never abandon me."

Su Ling reached out to cradle Wan Xiaoyao's soft cheeks and planted a kiss on her.

"This is how we humans express affection. I might be lustful, but I'm certainly not some heartless, faithless man!"

Wan Xiaoyao looked disgusted. "Tch, you've got the nerve to say that."

"I've been here less than a day, and I've already discovered three problems with you." Wan Xiaoyao held up three fingers and addressed Su Ling with a serious expression.

"First, you're only six. How can you fool around with an evil fox spirit and a snake demon? They're bad women who'll devour you and wipe their mouths clean."

"Well, I..."

"Second, hurry up and find me a friend. Living on this planet all by myself is far too boring."

"I'll do my best..."

"Third, this is the soul bone produced when you absorbed me. Why didn't you absorb it too?"

The Myriad Demon King took out a Torso Bone. It was likewise a soul bone that could continuously evolve as her cultivation increased.

"This soul bone combines Ultimate Wood, the poison attribute, and the mental attribute. It really is excellent, but I want to give it to..."

Seeing that Su Ling intended to give her soul bone away, Wan Xiaoyao immediately flew into a rage.

Two vines shot from Wan Xiaoyao's hands and wound around Su Ling's calves in an instant.

The sudden pull dragged Su Ling to the ground. Then Wan Xiaoyao stepped forward and, like Mount Tai crashing down, sat on his face.

"Hmm? What's this? It's sweet, too."

Wan Xiaoyao hurriedly moved away, her face flushed crimson. "It's... tree sap."

"So that's it." Su Ling could clearly feel the soul power inside him becoming more abundant. It could actually increase his cultivation speed too!

Su Ling looked at Wan Xiaoyao greedily. Detecting his ill-intentioned gaze, Wan Xiaoyao couldn't help backing away.

"No, you can't."

It would have been fine before she took human form. Tree sap was merely something their clan produced when they took in more spiritual energy from heaven and earth than they could absorb in time. Before, she could simply have stuck a straw in for Su Ling.

But now, hehehe...

"Miss, you wouldn't want my cultivation to advance slowly because you refused to give me tree sap, leading to my death at the hands of a powerful enemy, would you?"

"Eek!" Would this Japanese soul master please show some restraint?

"F-fine, but you can only suck it once a week!" Wan Xiaoyao blushed crimson. This was already the result of her compromising.

If someone really beat Su Ling to death, wouldn't she become a widow? She had only just found a husband! Although the tree demon clan could seek partners, she had always used her own stamens to pollinate her pistils before.

"Deal!"

"I was planning to give this soul bone to Yanyan. If you really won't agree..."

Then I'll wait until one of your clansmen dies and pick up a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! After all, once he absorbed a soul beast, his martial soul would automatically generate large numbers of the same soul beast, and a hundred-thousand-year leader was guaranteed to appear.

Although a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was a little inferior in quality, there wasn't really much difference. In any case, he would definitely be unrivaled on the Douluo Continent in the future, and he couldn't count on Dugu Yan beyond the Douluo Continent anyway.

"Go on, go on. Give it to whoever you want... just not another man."

Su Ling wasn't stupid. What would giving his wife's soul bone to another man count as? NTR?

What about giving it to his own son? Incestuous incest?

Su Ling's consciousness returned to the real world. All around him was silent. He swept his hands around but found no cantaloupes, only the tropical fruit, longans.

Snow Ji had probably returned to his martial soul on her own. After all, the spiritual energy inside his first martial soul was now exceptionally abundant, and going back to stew ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit with ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor made for quite a delicious meal.

Na'er forcibly suppressed her excitement, not daring to make a sound. She had secretly climbed into bed. If she were discovered, Gu Yue would beat her to death.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo, cock-a-doodle-doo."

As a large rooster crowed, everyone immersed in dreams began getting up one after another.

Dugu Yan rubbed her slightly swollen eyes. Although she and Snow Ji had been the ones bullying Su Ling all along yesterday, she hadn't fared much better. Her entire body ached as though a mammoth had stepped on her.

The instant she sat up, Su Ling sat up too. There was a white-haired girl on top of him.

She looked about the same age as Su Ling, though she was clearly a size smaller.

"Yanyan, why have you gotten smaller?"
