Chapter 61: Beauty Saves the Hero? Gu Yue Na Rescues Luo Ye?

Despair filled the hearts of Tang San and Oscar.

They never imagined that merely making a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest would cause them to fall directly from geniuses to good-for-nothings.

What does it mean to absorb a third soul ring of only ten-year rank?

Even someone as infamous as Yu Xiaogang could never do something like this.

Yet they managed it, and not just one but two people at once, and one of them even had twin martial souls, which directly ruined the first three soul ring positions of Tang San's Hao Tian Hammer.

Tang San, Oscar, and Zhao Wuji didn't know how to face Flandre and the others upon returning, so they could only sit here dazed, sinking into silence.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were unaffected.

But they also knew just how painful and desperate those three felt inside, so they could only accompany them in sitting limp on the ground.

Unlike the despair of Tang San and the others, Luo Ye's side was instead full of joy.

Meng Yiran had successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Phoenix Tail Chicken Crown Snake, becoming a true three-ring Soul Elder.

She had just been about to invite Luo Ye and the Shrek Three Beauties to her academy when she saw Long Gong return with an anxious expression.

Long Gong looked at Meng Yiran and asked.

"How is it, Yiran? Have you finished absorbing the soul ring?"

Meng Yiran nodded with a smile.

"I've finished absorbing it, Grandfather; I'm now a three-ring Soul Elder."

The She Po beside him glanced at Long Gong and asked.

"How about your side? Did you manage to kill Zhao Wuji?"

Long Gong was reminded by the She Po's words; the smile on his face from hearing that Meng Yiran had successfully absorbed her soul ring vanished instantly, he shook his head and spoke in a heavy tone.

"We failed. I'll go into the details later, but right now we need to leave this place immediately."

"I don't know what happened, but that ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape inexplicably appeared on the outskirts; I just barely avoided running into him."

Upon hearing the name Titan Giant Ape, the She Po's face also showed a hint of fear, and she quickly nodded.

"Alright, let's go now."

Long Gong looked at Luo Ye and the Shrek Three Beauties and invited them.

"Little friend Luo Ye, why don't you come with us? It would be safer."

Facing his proposal, Luo Ye refused without hesitation.

"No need, Senior Long Gong; we'll go our separate ways."

Long Gong had originally wanted to test whether Luo Ye had a clan, and if not, to invite him to join his own family.

But the situation is now urgent, and we can't worry about that anymore.

Since Luo Ye was unwilling to go with them, Long Gong didn't hesitate either, and directly fled with the She Po and Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran had originally wanted to chat a bit more with Luo Ye, at least to get on good terms with this Child of Fate, but because of the Titan Giant Ape's appearance, her plan came to nothing.

After Long Gong, the She Po, and Meng Yiran had left, Luo Ye looked at the Shrek Three Beauties and said.

"Let's go too, because if we happen to run into that ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, our trouble will be great."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong naturally had no objection, Xiao Wu hesitated a little but eventually agreed.

She felt that Er Ming had sensed her aura and thus appeared here, but in order to act normally, she could only follow Luo Ye away.

【Has the Titan Giant Ape still come after us?】

【He appeared here only to look for Xiao Wu, so we won't therefore encounter danger.】

【Moreover, Xiao Wu's soul power must have already reached rank thirty; as a human-shaped ten-thousand-year spirit beast, the first seven soul rings of Xiao Wu can condense on their own without needing to hunt spirit beasts.】

【But this is still somewhat shocking for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, so it's best not to let them discover Xiao Wu's spirit beast identity in the short term.】

【So we still need to think of a way to give Xiao Wu an opportunity to leave us for a while, in order to provide a suitable reason for her newly condensed third soul ring.】

Seeing this, Xiao Wu instantly felt a bit delighted.

Her soul power had indeed already reached rank thirty; she had been thinking about how to temporarily leave their side, but Luo Ye just brought it up himself.

That way, her departure later will go even more smoothly.

Just then, the surrounding earth began to tremble, the tall trees started to rustle, and a low roar echoed through the clouds.

Hearing this sound, Luo Ye feigned shock and let out a low roar.

"Titan Giant Ape?!"

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu also promptly showed panic.

Before they could act, the massive Titan Giant Ape, like a small mountain, came into their view.

Seeing this, Luo Ye let out a loud shout.

"Scatter! Zhuqing, take Rongrong with you; Xiao Wu, don't run in the same direction as them; I'll lure this guy away."

Having said that, without waiting for their reply, Luo Ye proactively went to meet the Titan Giant Ape.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, seeing this, both looked at Xiao Wu.

Feeling their gazes, Xiao Wu shook her head and whispered.

"Don't worry, I won't let Er Ming harm Luo Ye."

Having received her assurance, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also breathed a sigh of relief; then, to cooperate with Xiao Wu, following Luo Ye's command, they and Xiao Wu chose different directions and began to run.

The Titan Giant Ape had originally wanted to go straight for Xiao Wu, but under Gu Yue Na's orders, he must first pursue Luo Ye.

Thus he could only temporarily give up on Xiao Wu and chase after Luo Ye.

Luo Ye's face was full of anxiety and worry, but inside he was extremely calm.

From the moment he saw the Titan Giant Ape abandon Xiao Wu and chase him, he already knew that Gu Yue Na was the mastermind behind this incident.

If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Yue Na is using this chance to stage a "beauty saves the hero" scene; although her plan is still far-fetched, at least it gives her a barely plausible excuse.

"Gu Yue Na, Gu Yue Na, can't you think of a better way? You've made me have to come and patch up your loopholes."

Luo Ye let out a complaint in his heart, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of a perfect plan.

Not only could it provide a reasonable excuse for Gu Yue Na's appearance, but it could also get her to actively initiate intimate contact with him.

Thinking of this, Luo Ye no longer hesitated, and directly began to write furiously in the Diary.

【What's going on? The Titan Giant should be looking for Xiao Wu, so why is it chasing me and not letting go?】

【What the hell? With my current strength I can't deal with a Titan Giant Ape; I can't just die so depressingly in its hands, can I?】

After seeing these two lines, Gu Yue Na's face showed a teasing smile.

Next, it's about time for her to appear.

After realizing the timing was right, Gu Yue Na didn't waste time, appearing not far ahead of Luo Ye and beckoning to him.

"Run this way."
