Chapter 133: Soul Hunt!

One week later!

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun spread like a thin golden veil, gently sprinkling over the earth.

A man and two women, the three figures slowly appeared in the small town near the Star Dou Great Forest.

Both women were as picturesque as a painting, with celestial grace and jade‑like bones, dazzlingly attractive.

Between the two, there was no clear superiority.

If one had to say which was better, one could only say each is as beautiful as a sinking fish or a falling goose, each with its own merits.

One of the women wore a light‑blue long dress, its hem fluttering like a fairy descending to the world. Her delicate face was set with a pair of eyes bright as stars, and her gaze not only showed liveliness and wisdom, but also exuded an irresistible tenderness.

The other wore a fiery red outfit, looking dashing and heroic, with a black belt at her waist that perfectly highlighted her slender figure. Her hair was tied high, giving her a crisp, decisive look, and her eyes were firm and resolute.

The man stood tall as a pine, with sword‑shaped eyebrows and star‑like eyes, exuding heroic aura. He wore a black outfit and a black cloak; a breeze brushed the cloak, making it sway slightly, further highlighting his imposing presence.

Their appearance was like a breathtaking painting, instantly drawing the townsfolk's gaze.

Some were curious, some were awed, and others harbored a hint of suspicion.

Yet the three seemed unfazed by onlookers, calmly heading toward the deeper part of the town.

These three were Yu Tianyun, Liu Erlong, and Ye Lingling, who had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls.

After taking the chicken‑crown phoenix thistle, Liu Erlong broke through to level 80. Afterwards, she spent a little over a week consolidating her cultivation before preparing to hunt for Soul Rings.

Ye Lingling's cultivation was originally at level 37, still far too early to hunt Soul Rings. But Yu Tianyun gave her a herb called Eight‑Petal Immortal Orchid; under its miraculous effect, her cultivation surged directly to level 40.

The reason she gave Ye Lingling the herb was that she had already become Yu Tianyun's woman.

This traces back to the incident a week ago when the women were given whale glue.

At that time, under the strong side effects of whale glue, Ye Lingling involuntarily surrendered herself to Yu Tianyun.

Afterwards, Ye Lingling's heart was a tangled mix of five flavors.

On one hand, she felt immense shame and remorse for her impulsive act under the side effects of whale glue; on the other hand, when she calmed down and faced her heart, she was surprised to find that she harbored no resentment or hatred toward Yu Tianyun for what happened, and even a faint sweetness and dependence stirred in her heart.

Later, under the strong urging of her close friend—Duguyan, and with Yu Tianyun sincerely promising to take responsibility, Ye Lingling did not hesitate much, calmly accepted Yu Tianyun and the reality that had already unfolded.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Tianyun's relationship with Liu Erlong was also made public among his women.

That day, although the women lost consciousness under the effect of whale glue, their memories remained intact. After discovering Liu Erlong lying on the same bed, they realized the complex and subtle relationship between the two.

At that moment Liu Erlong's face was flushed, her heart pounding like a deer, and her embarrassed demeanor made her wish she could instantly crawl into a crack in the ground.

Her eyes were filled with shame and panic as she tried to break free from the awkward situation and flee.

But Yu Tianyun would not let her leave so easily; he tightly grasped Liu Erlong's hand, his firm strength making it impossible for her to break free.

Yu Tianyun, fully aware of Liu Erlong's inner fragility and unease, gazed at her with deep affection and tenderness, slowly recounting her tragic experiences of the first half of her life to the women in detail.

The women, upon hearing, all felt compassion; their initial surprise and doubt instantly turned into deep sympathy. They gathered around, soothing Liu Erlong with warm and considerate words, trying to calm her wounded heart.

At that moment, Liu Erlong's inner fear and unease gradually faded, and she felt a warmth and acceptance she had never known.

Eventually, Liu Erlong accepted Yu Tianyun's suggestion, stopped avoiding it, moved into a villa, and lived together with the women.

After shouldering the gun together, Liu Erlong gradually revealed her true nature.

"Erlong, Lingling, let's rest here for a night; searching for Soul Beasts at night is inconvenient and dangerous, we'll move at first light tomorrow!" Yu Tianyun stopped in front of a hotel and said seriously. Liu Erlong raised her hand, lightly patting Yu Tianyun's chest, teasing, "I think it's Little Tianyun who wants to rest here for a night!"

"So, according to Auntie's meaning, you don't want to rest here for a night? Fine, Lingling, let's go," Yu Tianyun said lightly.

"Ah! No!" Hearing Yu Tianyun's words, Liu Erlong instantly became flustered.

Yu Tianyun ignored her, wrapped his arms around Ye Lingling's slender waist, and strode into the hotel.

"One room, the best and most spacious, with fine wine and dishes delivered to the room," Liu Erlong hurried in, not waiting for Yu Tianyun to speak, and impatiently said to the hotel front desk.

Yu Tianyun's mouth twitched upward slightly; handling this big mother dragon was, for him, as simple as pinching a piece of candy.

At this moment, people in the hotel lobby, upon seeing the scene, all displayed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Their gazes toward Yu Tianyun were also filled with ill intent.

The men's looks at Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling were brimming with unmasked desire.

"Hmph," Liu Erlong felt extremely uncomfortable with those gazes, let out a cold snort, and the powerful aura belonging to a quasi‑Soul‑Trooper instantly erupted from her, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—seven Soul Rings in the optimal ratio slowly spiraled around her delicate body.

The entire lobby fell silent instantly, and the sound of swallowing became strikingly clear.

Everyone lowered their heads, legs trembling, no longer daring to glance at Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling.

They all kept their heads down, dispersing like a tide.

Ye Lingling, seeing this, covered her mouth and giggled lightly.

"M-Master, this... this is the key to your room!" the waiter trembled as he ran out from the front desk, bowed his head, and handed the key to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong snatched the key, turned to Yu Tianyun and Ye Lingling, "Let's go up," and, saying so, headed for the stairs first.

The three entered the room, whose spacious interior was arranged very exquisitely.

Soon, fine wine and dishes were brought up.

Yu Tianyun sat at the table, poured a glass of wine, took a light sip, and said, "Erlong, tone it down tonight; we still have to hunt souls tomorrow!"

Liu Erlong gave him a withering glance, "That line should be said to yourself!"

"I'm not worried; Erlong, you won't get enough to eat," Yu Tianyun chuckled, adding that aside from consolidating the soul core and taking whale glue twice, he had never been afraid of fatigue; even though Liu Erlong was at the age when she needed it most, she couldn't sustain it alone.

Ye Lingling, hearing the two's wolf‑like words, blushed to her ears, and although she had already had deep exchanges with Yu Tianyun, she was, like Zhu Zhuqing, naturally shy and still a bit restrained. She cleared her throat lightly and scolded,

"Erlong sister, Tianyun, you two stop saying these embarrassing things," she said.

Liu Erlong burst into giggles, "Lingling girl, you still……………………………………"

Yu Tianyun also laughed, raised his glass and said, "Alright, that's enough, that's enough, let's first enjoy this feast and fine wine."

After eating and drinking for a while, the three each washed up and rested.

At dawn the next day, sunlight streamed through the windows, waking everyone. Yu Tianyun stretched a big lazy yawn; his solid muscle lines were faintly visible in the morning light. He rolled onto his back, sat up, rubbed his eyes, and his clear voice rang out, "Everyone up, get ready to set out to find Soul Beasts!"

Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling were awakened by his voice, still half‑asleep. Liu Erlong lazily muttered, "So early, let me nap a bit longer."

But she forced herself to get up. Ye Lingling lightly shook her head to wake herself up a bit.

After a simple wash, the three left the room and walked toward the depths of the Soul Beast Forest.
