Ling Luochen was no fool. From her conversation with Huo Yuhao just now, she understood clearly that her hope for exclusive possession—or even the idea of sharing him only with Skydream and the Ice Emperor—was impossible.
In the future, there would surely be many, many people by his side...
And she was unwilling to fall behind the others.
Such was her personality; once she set her mind on something, even a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast couldn't pull her back! She liked Huo Yuhao, and that was a fact that wouldn't change even in her next life!
Though it was a bit underhanded, Ling Luochen knew that this scumbag had a very heavy sense of responsibility. As long as she allowed Yuhao to "consume" her completely, she would hold an invincible position!
Sister Bingbing had already secured the spot of the first wife, so she couldn't fight for that, but being the second wife would work too!
Thus, while she should have been flustered by Huo Yuhao's sincere words, she actually calmed down the moment she thought through the logic.
And so, she decided to take a "trial bite" first!
She had to taste the flavor and inspect the goods, right?
Furthermore, the thought that aside from Sister Bingbing, the other "bad women" around Yuhao might not have reached this step gave her a surge of excitement from being far ahead in the lead!
The novel experience of their lips meeting left Ling Luochen somewhat intoxicated, but in the next moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Her initiative... was gone!
As it was her first time, her experience naturally couldn't compare to Huo Yuhao, who had undergone repeated practice.
Having come to his senses, Huo Yuhao took only a moment to easily seize the initiative from her.
Her consciousness began to slide bit by bit into an abyss... until suddenly, Huo Yuhao let Ling Luochen go.
Dazedly leaning her head against Huo Yuhao's chest, Ling Luochen's breathing was slightly ragged, her face flushed either from a lack of oxygen or sheer shyness.
After a long while, a barely recovered Ling Luochen looked up, her gray eyes still clouding with a trace of haze.
"Bastard... you're so practiced. You've been practicing a lot with Sister Bingbing, haven't you?"
Ling Luochen's breath was like orchids, her words carrying a thick sense of grievance, yet despite this, there was an indescribable excitement in her eyes.
I did it! I've scored a point! I'm in the lead!
Nah, I'd win.JPG
The next step... is to settle it all in one go...
Her gray eyes lowered slightly as Ling Luochen fell into deep thought and hesitation.
...
Leaving Ling Luochen to continue resting, Huo Yuhao left his room.
It wasn't that Huo Yuhao didn't want to follow the momentum and "devour" Ling Luochen, but he could see that she wasn't truly prepared yet.
The Ice Emperor was a soul beast, so she followed her instincts more closely. For her, once she recognized her feelings of love, there wouldn't be a single shred of hesitation.
Ling Luochen, being human, was more rational.
To put it this way: even though he wasn't young anymore, Sister Ju Zi and Miss Meng would still think about waiting a bit before "eating," whereas the Ice Emperor didn't care about any of that and simply charged in.
That was the primary difference.
Back in the laboratory, Huo Yuhao sat on a lounge chair, a blue-gold light flashing briefly in his azure eyes.
Hmm... let me see what our wise and mighty Lord God King is up to lately... It's the perfect time to collect some experimental data.
...
On the outskirts of the Star Constellation Great Forest, in an area where only thousand-year soul beasts appeared at most, a black-haired youth sat cross-legged, cultivating in front of a dying soul beast entangled by countless Blue Silver Grass.
Streaks of crimson blood-mist continuously rose from the soul beast, permeating the surroundings and tinting the youth's originally handsome face with a touch of the demonic.
The one practicing this Magic Cultivation, which could almost be considered the behavior of an evil soul master, was naturally our "pure and noble" Tang San, the Tang God King!
In the next instant, the clothes on Tang San's back suddenly burst open, and eight spider lances extended from behind him!
They were compact, blue-silver in color, over three meters long, and the eight lances shimmered with a faint luster!
Yes, that's right—the Eight Spider Lances!
This was the reward for his third Sea God trial: the best external soul bone suited for him!
Unsurprisingly, this external soul bone happened to be his favorite Eight Spider Lances!
One must know that Tang San had originally planned to find a time to kill a Man-Faced Demon Spider to obtain these lances he longed for.
After all, ten thousand years ago, the Eight Spider Lances had followed him from his weak beginnings all the way until he became a god! It could be said they provided him with immense assistance!
With the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San was confident he could stand out among the many geniuses of Shrek Academy and make the name of Tang San resound through Shrek!
But who could have guessed it would be this coincidental? His third divine trial had directly granted him the lances!
And they were a set of Eight Spider Lances infinitely close to the 100,000-year level! They surpassed his former thousand-year level lances in every aspect!
Not only that, the lances he now possessed had a powerful skill—Invincible Golden Body!
Although the combination of Eight Spider Lances and Invincible Golden Body felt a bit strange... once he remembered this was granted by a divine trial, Tang San's doubts vanished!
The first trial could be skipped, the second allowed his twin martial souls to evolve, and the third gave him his former external soul bone and a life-saving divine skill!
How could a divine trial be wrong?! Perhaps this was the arrangement of his original body? After all, his Divine Consciousness was only a wisp; it was understandable if his memory was incomplete.
The only pity was that his "Invincible Golden Body" had a cooldown interval after each use. Furthermore, every use caused one of the spider lances to shatter. Though they could be repaired afterward with life force, it was still inferior to a proper soul skill.
Sigh... I miss Xiao Wu's soul ring...
Inexplicably, Tang San looked up at the sky. His gaze seemed to pierce the firmament and the barrier of fate, seeing Xiao Wu in the God Realm.
A touch of sweetness appeared instinctively at the corner of his mouth, but in the next second, Tang San's face turned rigid.
Because he suddenly remembered the image of his original body standing up and kicking his Xiao Wu...
In an instant, a strange resentment began to breed... but what followed was a deep sense of powerlessness.
Original body! Kick Xiao Wu more gently, my heart aches!
Tang San's expression was pained and distorted. The resentment in his heart made him desperate for a release. Then, his gaze fell upon the soul beast bound by his Blue Silver Bind.
A trace of hatred flashed in Tang San's eyes. In the next moment, the eight spider lances behind him entwined with strands of Blue Silver Grass and suddenly stabbed into the body of the soul beast!
The soul beast was subjected to the dual absorption of the Eight Spider Lances and the Dark Blue Silver King. Its life force was sucked dry bit by bit, leaving not a single shred behind!
While Tang San enjoyed the pleasure of the massive life force entering his body, he frantically operated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to absorb all the pure energy!
His cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to soar. Soon, under the irrigation of soul power converted from the massive life force, a certain bottleneck was shattered.
Level 25!
