Chapter 135: Intimacy of Blue Silver Grass

Core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!

Yu Tianyun looked serene, strolling through this perilous place with Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling as if taking a leisurely walk.

The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest is indeed fraught with danger, but Yu Tianyun's strength allows him to move freely here; as long as he does not fly into the sky and attract countless ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts that would trap him, there is no need to fear.

Along the way, Yu Tianyun expanded the perception range of his spirit power to about ten thousand meters, greatly improving his search efficiency.

Swift Wind Demon Wolf, Iron‑back Ape, Blood‑thirsty Demon Crocodile, Golden‑feather Eagle, Demon God Tiger… each powerful Soul Beast appeared in his perception range, all ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, some as strong as eighty‑thousand‑year or ninety‑thousand‑year beings.

But after more than half a day rushed by, he still could not find a Soul Beast suitable for Liu Erlong.

The Soul Beast Liu Erlong needs should preferably be a dragon‑type Soul Beast with fire attribute and be older than seventy thousand years.

Such conditions raise the difficulty; although fire‑attribute Soul Beasts over seventy thousand years are not extremely rare, those linked to dragons are exceedingly few.

If a dragon‑type fire Soul Beast cannot be found, a regular fire Soul Beast or a dragon‑type Soul Beast with non‑conflicting attributes will also do.

But Yu Tianyun wants to do his utmost to find the most suitable Soul Beast for Liu Erlong as a Soul Ring.

At this moment, dusk was approaching and the sky grew dim.

Yu Tianyun looked up at the sky and said, "Erlong, Lingling, let's find a place to rest for the night and continue the search tomorrow!"

"Hmm~" Despite the fruitless half‑day, the two women showed little sign of disappointment.

It should be considered a mountain‑and‑water tour of the Star Dou Great Forest, after all, hunting Soul Beasts is an extremely time‑consuming task, and some even spend months searching for suitable Soul Rings.

With Yu Tianyun by their side, the two women were not worried about safety.

Soon after, Yu Tianyun led the two women to a cave.

The cave's original owner was a fifty‑thousand‑year Mighty Vajra Bear, but after Yu Tianyun explained his reasoning, the bear admired his character and virtue, willingly handed over the cave, and Yu Tianyun gladly accepted.

A cave that can accommodate a Mighty Vajra Bear is naturally spacious, though a bit smelly.

That's understandable, after all it's a beast's den!

Few Soul Beasts care about cleanliness; most are quite filthy.

"By the way, do the female ferocious beasts like Silver Dragon King, Purple Princess, Jade Princess, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor ever bathe or brush their teeth? They can't have gone tens of thousands of years without brushing, can they?" Yu Tianyun shivered at the thought.

He had once imagined, once powerful enough, to bring those beautiful female Soul Beasts into his harem, but now he resolutely dismissed the idea.

He feels he still prefers human women.

"Erlong, light a fire to clear the smell here," Yu Tianyun said, turning to Liu Erlong.

"Hmm~"

Liu Erlong responded, soul power surging within her, and golden‑red flames spewed from her mouth, sweeping across the cave.

Heat waves rolled, and Yu Tianyun, holding Ye Lingling, retreated to a distance.

After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the cave's heat gradually dissipated; the three entered again, this time not only odorless but suffused with a fresh fragrance, like a sun‑warmed summer quilt.

After entering the cave, the two women began to busily get to work.

Liu Erlong took some soft blankets from the Storage Soul Conduit and carefully spread them on the ground to create a comfortable resting area. Ye Lingling took out some dry rations and water, arranging them neatly beside them.

Yu Tianyun had nothing to do for a while and didn't need to gather firewood; with Liu Erlong as a human‑shaped furnace, outdoor life was extremely convenient.

Liu Erlong wrapped the dry rations and water briefly with soul power, instantly warming them. After the three ate and drank their fill, they began "post‑meal exercise."

Yu Tianyun not only skillfully mastered the distraction‑control method, but also condensed a spiritual soul core, so there was no worry of losing warning.

A radius of ten thousand meters remained within his perception, requiring no personal night‑watch.

Yu Tianyun took it easy; although he wasn't concerned about expending energy, the two women clearly couldn't endure, so at midnight they rested their heads on Yu Tianyun's arm and fell asleep peacefully.

At dawn the next day, sunlight streamed through the cave entrance. Yu Tianyun woke first, looking at the two women still asleep, a doting smile on his face. He rose gently, without waking them, and walked outside alone to freshen up.

Soon after, Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling slowly awoke, tidied up briefly, and the three set out again on their Soul Beast hunt.

This time they ventured deeper; Yu Tianyun's spirit power was fully deployed, leaving no potential corner unchecked.

But after a day of searching, they still found no suitable Soul Beast.

Time quietly advanced to three days later.

The three continued searching for Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but these consecutive days yielded nothing, prompting Yu Tianyun to sigh silently, "Perhaps the earlier hunts were too smooth; this is the normal situation now."

Unwittingly, the three arrived at an area where the trees were sparser, but the air was fresher, giving a sense of tranquility.

Yu Tianyun even felt a sense of intimacy, his soul power's circulation speed unintentionally quickening a bit.

This moment triggered Yu Tianyun's alertness; any anomaly in the Star Dou Great Forest must be taken seriously.

An intimate aura does not necessarily mean true safety; it may conceal unknown danger.

"Stop now!" Yu Tianyun scooped Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling into his arms, halting his steps.

The two women looked at his serious expression without asking, lest they disturb Yu Tianyun.

Yu Tianyun's eyes emitted faint red‑blue twin glows as he carefully scanned the area.

"Hmm?" Yu Tianyun's brows furrowed.

He didn't find danger; rather, this place truly seemed harmless.

Yu Tianyun felt puzzled and observed again.

At that moment he noticed the nearby Blue Silver Grass was unusually abundant. He relaxed slightly and let out a long sigh.

Then, releasing his hold on the two women, he crouched and gently brushed the Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet.

He finally understood what gave him the sense of intimacy—it was the Blue Silver Grass under his feet.

Since absorbing Lan Yin Huang's right‑leg bone and devouring A Yin, Yu Tianyun has sensed a unique intimacy with Blue Silver Grass.

He doesn't know the exact reason, but speculates that his high affinity for various elements, after devouring A Yin and absorbing Lan Yin Huang's bone, granted him part of Lan Yin Huang's aura.

It is this Lan Yin Huang aura that makes the Blue Silver Grass feel intimate toward him.

This also slightly benefits his cultivation, allowing faster progress amid the lush Blue Silver Grass, as if in a camouflaged environment.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun slowly closed his eyes, silently sensing the Blue Silver Grass in his hand, a wave of joy quietly spreading into his mind.
