When the mountains and rivers seem to block the way, a village appears where willows are dark and flowers bright.
Ling Bai thought he had missed the chance to befriend Xu Jiujiu yesterday, but just now, he felt that Xu Jiujiu was inescapable. A mere Soul King would surely not escape the pursuit of thousands of snakes. Without deliberately seeking her, he had accidentally encountered her! Fate, truly wondrous!
However, Xu Jiujiu's current state was rather pitiful. Facing her was a six-thousand-year-old Silver-threaded Sky Python.
The Silver-threaded Sky Python had a slender body, with a silver thread running along its black back. Its snake mouth opened and closed, revealing sharp fangs, and droplets of venom dripped from the tips, indicating its highly excited state.
The Silver-threaded Sky Python was a male soul beast, one of the most advanced in the snake pack, and he regarded Medusa, the Snake Empress, as his dream lover, having adored her for two thousand years!
This time, by helping Medusa vent her anger, the Empress might be pleased and reward him with the company of the beautiful snake!
Hehe!
The Silver-threaded Sky Python was overjoyed, indulging in fantasies of a blissful future, while Xu Jiujiu was in a dire situation. Her Star Crown soul skill was more supportive and controlling, similar to that of Yao Haoxuan, a disciple of the Inner Academy of Shrek Academy. However, the Star Crown provided her with far less physical enhancement than Yao Haoxuan, almost negligible.
Xu Jiujiu fled, the Land of Eternal Night being shrouded in darkness. She dared not light a fire or use her Star Crown for illumination. Her exquisite and elegant clothes were torn by thorny bushes, and her delicate skin was bleeding profusely. In her panic, she had lost her storage soul conductor, and now she had to face the six-thousand-year-old Silver-threaded Sky Python.
Noticing Xu Jiujiu's plight, Ling Bai did not immediately come to her rescue. A wise man once said: A hundred acts of adding flowers to brocade are not as good as one act of sending charcoal in the snow.
He waited for Xu Jiujiu's despair to deepen, until the world turned pitch black. That would be the best time to act.
The Silver-threaded Sky Python spat out stream of venom. Although Xu Jiujiu's combat strength was almost zero compared to the python, her fiftieth-level soul power and heightened reflexes allowed her to roll to the side and narrowly avoid the venom.
Failing to hit her, the Silver-threaded Sky Python abandoned its long-range attack and leaped into the air, its tail lashing out like a whip towards Xu Jiujiu.
"Boom!"
Her delicate body was sent flying, crashing into a towering tree, causing leaves to rustle and fall. Xu Jiujiu's vision blurred, and a sweet, metallic taste rose in her throat as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Silver-threaded Sky Python became even more excited. Its seemingly boneless body swayed in front of Xu Jiujiu, its long tail wrapping around her and tightening slowly, the sound of her fragile bones creaking as they neared the breaking point!
Xu Jiujiu tried to resist, but her body could no longer support her. Her beautiful eyes gradually lost their luster.
At the critical moment, the Silver-threaded Sky Python suddenly let out a shrill scream. The immense force that had almost strangled Xu Jiujiu suddenly loosened, and she saw a blurry figure appear before her, like a ray of light saving the world in the midst of despair.
"Miss Xu, we meet again."
The voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it before. Xu Jiujiu's gaze fell on the figure, whose body was covered in a dark purple shield armor that seemed neither scales nor armor. Eight bulges on his back writhed wildly, as if sealing something terrifying inside.
"It's you?"
Xu Jiujiu recognized Ling Bai's face and gasped. Then she saw the Silver-threaded Sky Python pounce from behind Ling Bai, its mouth wide open!
According to scholars, the lower jaw of snakes is connected to the skull only by ligaments, allowing pythons to open their mouths several times wider than their heads to swallow prey much larger than themselves! The Silver-threaded Sky Python's mouth was fully open, large enough to swallow a yak!
"Be careful!"
Xu Jiujiu, ignoring her pain, tried to push Ling Bai away, but to her surprise, he did not budge!
"Rip-"
With the sound of tearing fabric, eight monstrous spider legs unfolded, their bodies a deep purple with a touch of crimson at the tips. The wind howled, and leaves drifted, casting a deathly red hue over the Land of Eternal Night!
Martial Soul Embodiment, Death Prison Spider Emperor!
The six-thousand-year-old snake body of the Silver-threaded Sky Python seemed as fragile as paper in front of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. One spider leg pierced through its lower jaw, penetrating its brain and skull. The Silver-threaded Sky Python's consciousness faded before it could even react, wondering why it was hanging limply on a spider leg instead of swallowing the damned human!
"You..."
Xu Jiujiu swallowed hard, unable to speak.
A ray of light saving the world in the midst of despair?
Don't be ridiculous!
The sinister and deathly aura clearly belonged to an Evil Soul Master, a predator ready to devour its prey!
Xu Jiujiu felt her energy drain away. She had thought she was saving Ling Bai, but now she found herself in a wolf's den after escaping the tiger's mouth. She closed her eyes, resigned to whatever fate awaited her.
"Miss Xu, at least you should thank me properly for saving your life again. While I don't
expect you to repay me with your body, a heartfelt thank you is the least you can do."
Xu Jiujiu opened her eyes and saw that Ling Bai had already retracted the Death Prison Spider Emperor, leaning against the tree and calmly looking at her.
"You won't kill me?" she asked, bewildered.
Evil Soul Masters in the soul master world were associated with cruelty, bloodlust, and savagery. Based on her judgment, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was a pinnacle existence among evil martial souls, and Ling Bai should be even more bloodthirsty.
Ling Bai replied calmly, "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have bothered to save you. What, you think Evil Soul Masters can't have a moment of kindness and do good deeds?"
An Evil Soul Master? A moment of kindness?
How did you connect these two unrelated concepts?
Xu Jiujiu secretly scoffed but found some truth in Ling Bai's words. She bent her knees slightly and performed the Star Luo Empire's court etiquette, sincerely saying, "Thank you, sir, for saving me twice. I didn't get to ask your name last time. May I know it now?"
"Ning Bai."
Honesty begets honesty, and a fake name begets a fake name. Ling Bai certainly wouldn't foolishly tell Xu Jiujiu the truth.
"By the way, why was Miss Xu being pursued by a thousand-year-old soul beast? Where are your guards?" Ling Bai asked.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"He protected me... at the cost of his own life, holding back the Ten Thousand Year Medusa and the Fifty Thousand Year Nether Emperor Yaoluo!"
The elder who had protected her for years died so tragically, leaving no intact body behind. Xu
Jiujiu's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow. She wiped her tears and looked at Ling Bai.
"I am now a person in distress. You have saved my life, and I cannot bear the title of 'Miss.' Moreover, I have a request, and I hope you will agree!"
"What is it?"
"Please take me out of Yoyo Forest!"
Xu Jiujiu knew she had no chance of escaping the snake pack's pursuit and leaving Yoyo Forest alone. She decided to use Ling Bai's strength to achieve her goal!
Her beautiful eyes shone with determination. A princess knows what she wants, and an Evil Soul Master, no matter how wicked, is still a means to an end. Survival is the ultimate goal!
"Too small, too narrow-minded!"
Ling Bai spread his arms, and the subtle curve of his lips appeared dangerous to Xu Jiujiu.
"You can be more daring. We can kill Medusa and the Nether Emperor Yaoluo, and then leave
Yoyo Forest!"
