Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting all the Mist Crystals before taking out a handful of Grade 5 Mist Crystals and placing them in Xiao Qian's palm.
Xiao Qian was so stunned that her mind went blank.
She stared dumbfounded at the Grade 5 Mist Crystals in her hand.
Where had Luo Feng gotten so many Grade 5 Mist Crystals?
And why did these Red Mist Crystals look so similar to the ones dropped by the Twin Crimson Specters earlier?
Now, she finally believed Luo Feng's words—his supply of Mist Crystals was truly vast.
At this point, Xiao Qian naturally knew what she had to do next.
All her worries had vanished.
Just as Luo Feng was watching Xiao Qian, a sudden notification from the game system echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, player. The Red Ghost Clan member Xiao Qian wishes to pledge allegiance to you as her master. Do you accept?"
Hearing this, Luo Feng froze, his gaze toward Xiao Qian shifting slightly.
He hadn't expected Xiao Qian to offer her loyalty so directly.
If she became his pet, her life and death would henceforth be entirely in Luo Feng's hands.
Under normal circumstances, even ordinary animals rarely submitted to others, let alone someone as intelligent as Xiao Qian.
But Luo Feng wasn't one to hesitate. He had no time to waste—there were still other important matters to attend to.
"Accept."
"Ding! Congratulations, player. You have obtained a new pet: Xiao Qian, a Grade 4 Crimson Specter."
As the system's voice faded, Luo Feng's new pet was officially his.
Now, a faint connection had formed between them, allowing Luo Feng to command Xiao Qian as he pleased.
At that moment, Xiao Qian suddenly spoke:
"Thank you, Master, for saving me. I will carry out any task you assign."
Hearing her address him this way, Luo Feng gave an awkward smile and said,
"Just call me Luo Feng—or Shura is fine too. No need for 'Master.' It sounds a bit... off."
"Understood."
When Luo Feng had saved Xiao Qian earlier, it had been nothing more than a spur-of-the-moment act. Even he hadn't anticipated things developing this way—
She had actually become his pet.
Still, Luo Feng wasn't overly concerned. Having an extra pet didn't bother him.
Moreover, Xiao Qian's unique identity might even bring unexpected benefits in the future.
With that in mind, Luo Feng said,
"Try consuming one of these Grade 5 Mist Crystals and see how it affects you. The Soul Spirit Fruit will ripen soon, and I'll give you one then."
Xiao Qian's face brightened with a smile. "Thank you, Mas—
"I mean, Luo Feng. I'll repay your kindness properly in the future."
Now that she was officially Luo Feng's pet, Xiao Qian didn't hold back. She immediately placed a Grade 5 Mist Crystal in her mouth.
In moments, her body began to change as energy rapidly gathered within her.
Her strength was soaring at an astonishing pace.
Luo Feng was startled by the situation. He hadn't expected the effects of a level 5 Mist Crystal to be so powerful—no wonder all these Crimson Specters were drawn to it.
This realization allowed him to relax slightly.
He shifted his focus to the Soul Spirit Tree, where the red glow emitted by the Soul Spirit Fruit was rapidly fading.
It wouldn't be long before the light disappeared completely.
Once that happened, he could finally make his move to pluck the fruit.
Luo Feng was extremely curious about the exact properties of the Soul Spirit Fruit.
With so many level 5 beasts fighting over it, and even formidable guardians like the Twin Red Ghosts, the fruit's attributes had to be extraordinary.
As this thought crossed his mind, the Black Tortoise began carrying the four of them forward.
Now that Luo Feng had a group of four, they could even play cards at night.
At this moment, most of the surrounding beasts had already dispersed.
Only a level 5 Wind Hound remained, glaring intently at the Soul Spirit Tree.
Noticing Luo Feng's approach, the Wind Hound wasted no time. Its body suddenly surged with wind-attribute energy, drastically increasing its speed as it dashed toward the Soul Spirit Fruit.
Being a wind-attribute creature, this level 5 Wind Hound could fly.
Luo Feng wasn't surprised by its actions—he had been keeping a close eye on all the beasts to prevent any sneak attacks.
At that moment, Luo Feng abruptly accelerated, flying toward the fruit as well.
His Mystic Ice Blade, brimming with immense energy, slashed through the air toward the Wind Hound.
While the Wind Hound was the fastest on the ground, its aerial speed—even with wind manipulation—wasn't particularly impressive.
Faced with Luo Feng's attack, it remained calm, quickly summoning several Wind Blades to intercept him.
Meanwhile, its body accelerated again, charging straight for the Soul Spirit Fruit.
The Wind Blades shattered instantly upon contact with Luo Feng's Mystic Ice Blade.
By then, the Wind Hound had already reached the Soul Spirit Tree.
Just as it was about to seize the fruit, a dense Red Mist suddenly materialized before it, blocking its path.
Undeterred, the Wind Hound plunged headfirst into the mist, attempting to force its way through.
But the moment its body entered the Red Mist, it felt an immense weight pressing down, immediately slowing its speed.
Luo Feng's Mystic Ice Blade followed closely, striking the Wind Hound.
With a single slash, the beast was cleaved into pieces.
Near the Red Mist, a figure gradually took shape—Xiao Qian.
As a Crimson Specter, she was elusive and formidable within the Red Mist Zone.
This was the true strength of her kind.
No wonder the Twin Red Ghosts had died so miserably at Luo Feng's hands—it really had been an unfair fight.
Luo Feng gave Xiao Qian an approving nod. Her abilities were indeed impressive here.
Without wasting any more time, Luo Feng approached the Soul Spirit Fruit.
He couldn't look directly at it, but he could still glimpse it from the corner of his eye.
And what he saw nearly shattered his composure.
On the surface of the Soul Spirit Fruit, Luo Feng saw the reflection of Su Yunxi.
How is this possible?
Why is Su Yunxi on the Soul Spirit Fruit?
Could it be that Su Yunxi has entered the Soul Spirit Fruit?
Startled, Luo Feng quickly averted his gaze from the Soul Spirit Fruit.
What happened next shocked Luo Feng even more, leaving him with an utterly incredulous expression on his face.
