"Wow, what is this thing? It has actually evolved into a form that uses bait to hunt? That's so advanced!" Qi Ling said, quite shocked.
As beings far more powerful than ordinary creatures, Soul Beast are accustomed to using the most direct force to determine victory or defeat, whether it be a contest of strength, speed, or special methods such as poison.
Soul Beast Soul Beast that use such traps are usually too weak to guarantee their survival. They only do this because their Soul Power is too weak, and they have no choice but to use these auxiliary means.
It's rare to find Soul Beast that can use traps and is so powerful. Qi Ling even wanted to give it to Tang San Xiao San his Soul Ring, hoping that he could obtain a very powerful control Soul Skill.
"This plant is called the Earth Pitcher Plant, a mutated Plant-type Soul Beast that uses this method to hunt Soul Beast that are attracted by its scent," Qian Renxue said, looking at Qi Ling. "It's quite rare for a human to be attracted to it, because this scent is undetectable to the human sense of smell."
"Ah, hahaha, maybe it's because I'm exceptionally talented," Qi Ling said awkwardly.
Since absorbing Tyrannical Savage, who was almost a collection of appetites, Qi Ling gained two unexpected things: an astonishing appetite and an extraordinary sense of smell.
Qi Ling's appetite was already quite astonishing, after all, food is indispensable to ensure vigorous Soul Power, and after that, his appetite reached an even more astonishing level.
As for her sense of smell, Qi Ling's sense of smell was sufficient to distinguish extremely subtle odor categories, and she could even detect lingering scents from three days ago.
This led to the rather awkward situation we're in today. Qi Ling's irresistible attraction to food and her extraordinary sense of smell almost caused her to fall into the trap set by the Soul Beast.
Seeing Qi Ling's careless attitude, Qian Renxue sighed helplessly and said, "Really, you don't even know this kind of information, yet you dare to come to Doomsday Canyon to explore? What's your name? What are you doing here?"
Qi Ling felt a toothache as she listened to Qian Renxue's question. This girl really was just like the rumors said—a straightforward woman who never beat around the bush. She was the complete opposite of her past life!
Judging from her personality, the questions she asked probably didn't have any particular ulterior motives. However, since she had used an alias to address him, it wouldn't be polite not to reciprocate. So, Qi Ling had no choice but to use an alias to communicate with her as well.
"My name is Bai Di. I'm here simply because my Soul Power has reached a breakthrough level, and I want to obtain a suitable Soul Ring," Qi Ling said.
"Oh? Since you want to obtain Soul Ring, why not choose the safer Star Dou Great Forest, or other places to Soul Hunting rings, instead of coming to the dangerous Doomsday Canyon?" Qian Renxue asked.
Qi Ling felt helpless. If she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't want to come here, but the Wheel of Fate had led her here, meaning that she could only get what she wanted from here.
Moreover, if it's the Star Dou Great Forest, does that mean I should turn Da Ming Er Ming into Soul Ring? Da Ming probably really does have Dragon Clan blood, so maybe it's really possible.
"It's nothing, I just happened to have heard of this place, so I came to try my luck," Qi Ling said. "And you? Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like someone who lives here. What brings you here?"
Qian Renxue didn't think too much about it. When Qi Ling asked her, she said directly, "My goal is the same as yours; I also want to obtain Soul Ring."
Qi Ling was taken aback. If she remembered correctly, the Grandmaster had said that Qian Renxue had already reached the Soul Emperor realm. Now that she was acquiring Soul Ring, could it be that she was about to break through to the Soul Saint realm?
"Excuse me, A Xue, how old are you this year?" Qi Ling asked.
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "After this year's birthday, I should be twenty years old."
Twenty years old, which means she's clearly not even twenty yet! Soul Saint under twenty! What astonishing talent! If Qin Ming knew, he'd probably die of shame.
Qi Ling was certain that if Qian Renxue successfully broke through, he didn't know if there would be anyone like her after her, but there would definitely be no one like her before her! In other words, she would create true history and become the first person in history!
Seeing Qi Ling's shocked expression, Qian Renxue said nonchalantly, "Surprised? Bai Di, you're quite impressive too. This is the first time I've ever seen Soul Emperor this young."
"However, judging by your age, Bai Di, you should be younger than me, right?" Qian Renxue scrutinized Qi Ling's face and said seriously, "You shouldn't call a woman older than yourself by her full name; you should call me 'elder sister'!"
"Huh? That's not necessary. I think calling you by your name is fine. Isn't that more intimate?" Qi Ling said, sweating profusely.
According to seniority, you should call me uncle! After all, I recognized your mother as my older sister first.
However, Qian Renxue was clearly not satisfied with this answer, so she continued, "That won't do! Etiquette and rules cannot be abolished; without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Therefore, Bai Di, quickly call her 'sister'!"
"Um, I think we don't need to... I..."
"Call me 'sister'!"
Seeing Qian Renxue's serious expression, as if this matter was really important to her, Qi Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, sister, is that enough?"
"Very good!" Qian Renxue laughed when she heard Qi Ling call out, "Don't worry, little brother, since you call me sister, I will definitely protect you here!"
Goodness, this girl and her mother are truly mother and daughter; their thoughts are exactly the same. Now I've become her little brother again.
And now Qi Ling is also worried. What should she do if the mother and daughter meet? Should they act as if they're separate people? Should she call me uncle and I call her sister?
However, faced with Qian Renxue's kindness, Qi Ling had no choice but to accept it, saying, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, A Xue... Sister!"
Seeing Qi Ling change her mind, Qian Renxue finally smiled with satisfaction and said, "In that case, let's bypass this Earth Pitcher Plant and continue on our way."
"Huh? Sister, aren't you planning to deal with this guy before moving on?" Qi Ling asked, quite surprised.
In the past, apart from Grandmaster and others, other Soul Master would not show mercy to Soul Beast, especially Soul Beast that posed a threat to them, and they would wish to eliminate them as soon as possible.
However, judging from Qian Renxue's attitude, she clearly has no intention of taking action against it, and even plans to bypass it and continue onward. Does Qian Renxue also understand what sustainable development is?
