[Ding! A request from Xiao Ye has been detected. Please select from the following options.]
Option 1: Refuse to team up with Xiao Ye and go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone. Reward: 100 Gold Soul Coin and one Excellent Quality Herb.
Option 2: Agree to team up with Xiao Ye to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Twin-Tailed Money Rat, and receive the following rewards: One Thousand-Li Divine Escape Talisman and one Starry Sky Barrier Admission Ticket.
Looking at these two options, Qi Ling felt speechless. Was there a lag in this system? Why did the options only appear after she had already made her choice?
Fortunately, the reward from this option was exactly what he wanted, especially the Thousand-Li Divine Escape Talisman. After reading about its effects, Qi Ling immediately felt it was worth the price.
Thousand-Li Divine Escape Talisman: After use, the host can take one member and instantly travel to any location within a thousand miles, and the movement is unrestricted and cannot be interrupted.
Instant activation allows for escape over thousands of miles, and it cannot be interrupted! This is simply an escape artifact! Having this is practically like having an extra life, Qi Ling naturally couldn't miss it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have selected option two: team up with Xiao Ye. Rewards: One Thousand-Li Divine Escape Talisman, one Starry Sky Barrier Admission Ticket.]
"Hey, let me make this clear first, if we find that Twin-Tailed Money Rat, I won't give you the Soul Bone I get!" Qi Ling said as they walked.
"Oh? Then I'll have worked for nothing! No way!" Xiao Ye pouted. "At least give me something in return, right?"
"Benefits? What benefits do you want? I wasn't planning on teaming up with you anyway, and you still want me to give you benefits?" Qi Ling rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a Gold Soul Coin.
Here, this is your salary! Don't think it's too much!
Xiao Ye stared wide-eyed at the Gold Soul Coin in her palm; how could this possibly be associated with "many"?
The reason Qi Ling bullied Xiao Ye like this was because she knew that there must be something wrong with this little girl suddenly coming to see her! After all, she would never believe that a girl with such skills would suddenly appear without prior arrangement.
As for what she meant by fate, Qi Ling naturally thought it was just something she said casually. After all, if she wanted to get close to a girl, she would probably bring up things like fate.
However, Qi Ling did not sense any hostility from this Xiao Ye girl, nor did she have any bad premonition, indicating that she really did not have any ill intentions towards her.
Because of the existence of the Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul, Qi Ling's sixth sense has always been incredibly accurate, so he also wanted to see what this little girl was up to by following him.
After entering the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, the two originally planned to immediately begin searching for the whereabouts of the Twin-Tailed Money Rat, but something unexpected happened. A group of mercenaries actually blocked off the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, preventing anyone from entering.
"Get out of the way! The North Wind Wolf Walk Mercenary Group is on business here. No unauthorized personnel allowed!" several mercenaries said menacingly, completely disregarding the other Soul Master.
"Mercenary groups exist in this world too?" Qi Ling asked in surprise. "I thought people of Soul Master status wouldn't have to worry about making a living."
"Of course, after all, there are people who yearn for freedom everywhere. Just like Shrek Academy, aren't they a group of heroes who refuse to bow down to the powerful?" Xiao Ye said from the side.
"Hmm... hmm?" Qi Ling was taken aback. How did this girl know about the Shrek Academy?
Before Qi Ling could ask a question, Xiao Ye Qi Ling pulled her towards a nearby tree, saying, "Hurry, hurry! There's going to be a good show soon, we can't miss it!"
"A good show? What good show?" Qi Ling was pulled by Xiao Ye and hid in a tree nearby.
"The Wolf Walk Mercenary Group relies solely on its leader, who is a Soul Douluo level expert, which is why they dare to act this way," Xiao Ye said, looking at the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group below.
"But he's not the only Soul Douluo in this world!"
As expected, just as Xiao Ye said, other Soul Master might be wary of the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group's strength and choose to back down temporarily, but if it were a Soul Douluo, that might not be the case.
Moreover, Qi Ling recognized this Soul Douluo; he was none other than Dragon Duke Meng Shu she had met in the Star Dou Great Forest, accompanied by Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, but Meng Yiran was nowhere to be seen.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's target was clearly also this Twin-Tailed Money Rat, so when they saw the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group setting up a roadblock here, they couldn't help but frown and say, "When did the Star Dou Great Forest become the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group's territory? You're going against all the Soul Master in the world!"
The leader of the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group wiped away a bead of cold sweat and said, "Please calm down, senior. We will let you pass after today!"
"Hmph, what if I don't?" Meng Shu sneered. As a Soul Douluo, he really didn't take the people in front of him seriously.
"If you insist on venturing forth, then we will have no choice but to inform the leader," the leader said. "The leader is nearby; would you like to speak with him?"
Upon hearing that the leader of the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group was nearby, Meng Shu hesitated. He was old and frail, and if he were to fight an enemy who was also Soul Douluo, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.
However, Meng Shu was determined to obtain this Soul Bone, as it was a gift he intended to give to his granddaughter Meng Yiran! Soul Bone were precious and priceless; if he missed this opportunity, who knew when the next chance would come?
Seeing the conflict between Meng Shu and the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group below, Xiao Ye excitedly whispered, "Let's fight! Let's fight!"
Qi Ling looked helplessly at the little girl beside her and said, "You little brat, can you not be so violent? What good will it do you to fight them?"
"There are many benefits, but I can't tell you!" Xiao Ye said with a smile.
As Meng Shu was about to clash with the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group, everyone present couldn't help but tense up, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air.
But just as tensions were running high, a figure suddenly appeared from a distance, which seemed quite out of place in the tense atmosphere.
The woman was dressed in casual clothes, with a long, moon-white robe draped over her shoulders, obscuring her inner adornments. A light veil covered her face, but even from what was revealed, it was clear how flawless and breathtakingly beautiful she was.
More importantly, this person naturally exudes a sacred and noble aura, making people want to worship her, as if she were Lower God from heaven, displaying captivating charm in every gesture.
Even if such a person intentionally conceals her true appearance, she would still become the most dazzling presence anywhere! Many Soul Master have already been captivated, losing their senses and becoming as if their bodies no longer belong to them.
