Chapter 41: Devouring the Martial Soul, Evolving into a Dragon!

Zhou Yu sat down beside her quite naturally and said softly, "I saw Grandmaster return to Shrek Academy, but I didn't see you come back, so I was a little worried about you."

Liu Erlong couldn't help but give a bitter smile; she never expected that the one person who cared about her in the end would be a young man she had only met a few times.

"Thank you, Lin Yu."

"I thought... no one would care about me."

Zhou Yu hurriedly comforted her, "How could that be, Auntie Liu? You are so young and beautiful; not only does Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang love you deeply, but even Dean Flender seems to admire you."

These words, on the surface comfort, were actually sprinkling salt on her wounds.

Sure enough, after Liu Erlong heard this, she cried even harder.

She involuntarily leaned toward the young man sitting beside her.

Zhou Yu also slowly raised his arm, gently patting Liu Erlong's shoulder and back, conveying a silent comfort, letting that wounded heart gradually bathe in a warm embrace.

After being tempered by the Golden Body and having consumed several Immortal Herbs, his body was as if reborn.

His originally handsome face gained even more depth and dimension, and his height had grown to one meter eighty, making him look completely like a strong and healthy adult handsome man.

Liu Erlong suddenly realized that she was nestled in a firm and warm embrace.

She felt a sense of inexplicable security.

This injured woman couldn't help but lift her pretty face, gazing at the young man before her.

She didn't know if it was due to her low spirits or the effect of the alcohol.

At this moment, she truly longed for some tenderness, a kiss, or even... more.

Of course, Zhou Yu saw her thoughts in her eyes.

He gently praised, "Auntie Liu, you are really beautiful..."

A woman abandoned by two stinking men actually heard praise from a young man's mouth.

Liu Erlong's cheeks became even redder, as if burning with fierce fire.

She gently bit her lower lip and shyly whispered, "Can you... kiss me?"

Actually, Liu Erlong didn't dare to hope for too much; she just wanted her shattered heart to receive a little warm comfort.

However, Zhou Yu had already made preparations to face death without fear.

A good man should make a big move!...

At this moment, Liu Erlong finally became a true woman.

The emotions suppressed deep within her heart for many years, catalyzed by alcohol, erupted like molten lava, pouring out unstoppable.

She went from half-resisting at the beginning, to willing participation later, and finally to being as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.

After several fierce battles, Liu Erlong was exhausted and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly discovered that his soul power had actually broken through, reaching Level Fifty.

As long as he obtained his fifth Spirit Ring, he could advance to Soul King.

Zhou Yu finally came to his senses: "My fifth talent... Absorption!"

His first martial soul, the Chameleon Martial Soul, awakened a fifth talent that could not only absorb the opponent's soul power but also absorb the opponent's martial soul characteristics.

Just at this moment, a magical scene appeared before his eyes.

He saw that a black light ring had suddenly condensed above the sleeping Liu Erlong's delicate body.

"Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring..."

Zhou Yu found it hard to believe; he originally thought this absorption ability could only absorb the opponent's soul power and martial soul characteristics.

Unexpectedly, it could actually directly inherit the opponent's equivalent Spirit Ring.

Even more astonishing was that the Spirit Ring obtained through this method fused perfectly with his own; the one hundred percent compatibility meant that as long as it was attached to the corresponding martial soul, the absorption process could be completed smoothly.

At this moment, a bolder idea sprang up in Zhou Yu's heart.

He not only wanted to take revenge on Tang San, he also wanted to achieve Godhood.

"If I can become a god, perhaps... I can find a way to revive my teacher!"

Reviving his teacher Si Si was Zhou Yu's first goal in becoming a god.

Besides, since he could absorb Liu Erlong's martial soul characteristics and Spirit Ring.

Similarly, he could also absorb the martial soul characteristics and Spirit Rings of the three strongest female Spirit Masters on the continent: Bibi Dong, Poseixi, and Qian Renxue. In Zhou Yu's heart, he firmly established a goal even greater than revenge.

His second martial soul could not yet be shown to others, so he attached Liu Erlong's fifth Spirit Ring to his first martial soul, the Chameleon Martial Soul.

After absorbing the Spirit Ring, Zhou Yu was surprised to find that his Chameleon Martial Soul had undergone a huge change in both size and appearance.

Green skin, scales like a fish, a neck like a snake, horns like a deer, palms like a tiger, eyes like a rabbit, claws like an eagle, a belly like a giant clam, and a body like a dragon.

"Isn't this... a Dragon?"

The originally emerald-green lizard-type martial soul had transformed into a dragon.

"Is this the transformation produced after my Chameleon Martial Soul merged with Liu Erlong's Red Dragon Martial Soul?"

Zhou Yu tried his best to suppress his inner excitement, fearing he would wake Liu Erlong.

His secrets could not yet be known by anyone.

Early the next morning, Liu Erlong opened her hazy sleeping eyes.

Zhou Yu had already carefully arranged her long skirt for her and held her in his arms like a lover.

"..."

After Liu Erlong woke up, she immediately felt ashamed and filled with regret in her heart: "Oh my god! He is still a child!"

She moved her body slightly, trying to stand up, but woke Zhou Yu.

"You're awake?"

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, she immediately lowered her head, feeling extremely ashamed, and said in a weak and heavy tone, "Lin... Lin Yu, it's all Auntie's fault! I was drunk last night..."

Seeing the other party at a loss, Zhou Yu felt an inexplicable, strange stirring in his heart.

"Aunt Liu, only now do I realize you're not just beautiful — you're also very cute!"

Liu Erlong was already feeling ashamed; hearing such words, her heart instantly began to flutter like a startled fawn.

She was indeed fair as a flower, her figure lithe and graceful.

But at her age, this was the very first time anyone had used the word "cute" to praise her.

Just as she didn't know how to respond, a pair of strong, powerful arms slipped around her waist and held her tightly.

"Lin Yu…"

If everything that had happened last night could still be blamed on alcohol,

then now, she had absolutely no reason to accept love from this youth.

No matter what, Liu Erlong could not let herself keep making mistakes, and even less did she wish to hurt a youth whose heart was just beginning to awaken to love.

Unfortunately, the person pressed against her back was no ordinary youth.

Liu Erlong struggled and turned around, wanting to say something, only to find her mouth sealed shut.

She instinctively pressed her red lips tightly shut, but under the other's practiced skill, in less than a moment she lost her defense.

The little red snake hidden within was quickly captured.

A pair of strange hands roamed over her lower back and spine, and the blue-cloth long skirt she had just put on slipped to the ground once more.

Having weathered last night's storm, Liu Erlong, already drenched through, opened her heart completely, bade farewell to the past, and welcomed the brand-new life that belonged to her.

……

After another deep exchange, the once-fierce dragon seemed to have turned into a gentle little bird, nestling in her master's arms.

"Lin Yu, about the matter between us — could you keep it a secret?"

Before Zhou Yu could reply, Liu Erlong went on: "I'm already a woman covered in wounds, it doesn't matter for me. But you're different — you have outstanding talent, your future will surely be dazzling and brilliant, and it shouldn't be shadowed because of me."

"……"

Zhou Yu's heart clenched sharply, as though stabbed by an invisible blade.

His original intention had only been to split her from Yu Xiaogang, in order to take revenge on Yu Xiaogang.

But Liu Erlong's sincere words inadvertently touched the softness buried deep in his heart, making him once again, involuntarily, recall every little moment with Si Si.
