But Ah Yin was still in her untransformed state, after all.
To Li Zhiyan, her attacks were more like tickles and caresses.
"It looks like Ah Yin is resisting pretty hard."
"Succubus Martial Soul!"
Li Zhiyan activated his Succubus Martial Soul. Right now, Ah Yin was reacting mostly on instinct.
And his Martial Soul had an unparalleled attraction to the opposite sex.
It was the best way to calm Ah Yin down.
Sure enough, after he activated the Succubus Martial Soul,
its unique Soul Power made Ah Yin settle down completely. Li Zhiyan could clearly feel her attacks turn into gentle caresses.
"All right, time to dig."
Li Zhiyan came to Ah Yin's side and began digging around her, taking care not to damage her roots.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a good place to revive Ah Yin, but with my current strength, going into Sunset Forest would be nine deaths and one life."
"Luckily, my Succubus Martial Soul can nourish Ah Yin and help her recover. If things go quickly, she can temporarily regain human form in a few days."
"At the same time, the Soul Power Ah Yin feeds back to me can speed up my cultivation."
From the system's introduction, Li Zhiyan knew that both he and Ah Yin could benefit.
As Li Zhiyan dug, dirt flew in every direction.
Before long, Li Zhiyan had dug out Ah Yin's entire rootstock.
He placed Ah Yin against his chest and felt her greedily drawing in his Succubus Soul Power.
Afterward, Li Zhiyan continued searching the surrounding area.
Soon, he found a black box.
"This is the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
Ah Yin's right leg Soul Bone possessed two incredibly powerful abilities: flight, and Spring Winds Cannot Scatter It, Wildfires Burn It Only for It to Grow Again.
"I'll leave here first and absorb the Soul Bone somewhere safe."
Before long, Li Zhiyan was teleported to Suotuo City.
"You've got to be kidding. This is a safe place?"
Suotuo City wasn't very far from the area around Shrek Academy, and the protagonist group even came here often.
Running into Tang San would be extremely dangerous. After all, his Dragon Whisker Needle was simply too dangerous.
As Li Zhiyan was considering his next move, the system sent a notification.
[New mission issued.] [Please hide and use your Soul Power to nourish Ah Yin until she recovers enough to take human form.] [Mission reward: third Soul Ring added, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Note: comes with the third Soul Skill, Instant Teleportation.] [Instant Teleportation can instantly teleport the host away from danger.] [Mission reward 2: Protagonist Group Location Viewer.]
Li Zhiyan took a look at the Protagonist Group Location Viewer. It could show him the real-time locations of Tang San and the others.
It could even show Tang Hao's location.
"If I get this reward,"
"then I'll be truly safe in Suotuo City."
After all, even a Titled Douluo couldn't just find someone at will. Once he knew Tang Hao's location, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to find him at all.
After all, Tang Hao didn't have an organization like Spirit Hall spread across the entire continent.
After finding an inconspicuous hotel and quietly checking in, Li Zhiyan locked the door. He planned to spend the next few days carefully nourishing Ah Yin and helping her recover.
"Let's have a look at my Second Martial Soul."
After Li Zhiyan summoned his Second Martial Soul, a golden Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his palm.
"A solid-gold Clear Sky Hammer..."
Li Zhiyan could tell that the Divine Emperor Clear Sky Hammer's attack power wasn't even on the same level as the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer.
"If I could learn Ring Detonation too..."
Li Zhiyan couldn't help imagining it, but he knew Tang Hao definitely wouldn't teach him Ring Detonation.
He could only wait for later rewards. The reward for such a simple new mission was already so heaven-defying that Li Zhiyan was looking forward to the ones to come.
Over the next few days, Li Zhiyan barely went out except to eat, and even then, he kept a very low profile.
He stayed in his room cultivating with Ah Yin, and his Soul Power smoothly rose to level 33.
"Cultivation really is fast with Ah Yin feeding Soul Power back to me."
Over the past few days, nourished by Li Zhiyan's Soul Power, Ah Yin's leaves had taken on a faint pink hue, making them look exceptionally delicate and beautiful.
"After nourishing her for so long, she should be able to briefly regain human form, right?"
"The system said my Martial Soul has a heaven-defying ability to nourish Ah Yin."
Outside the window, it was late at night.
Ah Yin's vines were wrapped around Li Zhiyan, and he felt very comfortable.
"I guess it probably won't happen today."
Li Zhiyan slowly closed his eyes, intending to get some sleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he smelled a natural fragrance.
He felt a heavy weight on his body, as though something were pressing down on him.
He opened his eyes, and a pretty, snow-white face appeared before him. It was Ah Yin.
But Ah Yin's hair, which should have been entirely blue, now had streaks of pink in it. The long blue-and-pink hair gave her an added touch of beauty.
Ah Yin was lying on top of Li Zhiyan, and because of gravity,
her figure naturally changed shape under its pull.
"You..."
"Who are you?!"
"What happened to me?"
Ah Yin was a little panicked. How did I regain human form?
But Ah Yin quickly realized that she was dreaming. She had sacrificed herself to Tang Hao long ago and returned to her original form as Blue Silver Grass.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would never wake up again in this lifetime. Yet now, she had a body once more.
There was only one explanation: she was definitely dreaming.
Looking at Li Zhiyan beneath her, with the succubus markings on his forehead,
Ah Yin's heart began to race.
What a handsome young man.
I've never seen anyone this beautiful before.
"Aunt Yin, you've regained human form."
Li Zhiyan spoke in delight.
Just as Ah Yin was about to say something, she felt the Soul Power inside her begin to circulate, filling her with an unprecedented heat.
Such... such a lonely feeling.
Ah Yin closed her eyes. She felt her reason slowly slipping away, replaced by that burning sensation taking control of her mind.
No, I absolutely can't act on instinct. I have to stay clearheaded!
Ah Yin restrained herself.
But the Soul Power of the Succubus Martial Soul left her in a daze, unable to think clearly.
Since...
Since this is a dream, it doesn't really matter, does it? It's only a dream, so it's fine.
At last, the room in Ah Yin's heart collapsed completely.
She leaned in and kissed Li Zhiyan.
"Mmm..."
"Young man, kiss me."
Li Zhiyan hadn't expected Aunt Yin to be so forward. In that case, he wouldn't hold back.
"Aunt Yin, you smell so good..."
The hormone-fueled young man and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast auntie hit it off at once, losing themselves completely in a world of instinct.
