Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Encountering an Old Iron-eating Beast in a Foreign Land

Ye Qiu chuckled and lightly touched the Blue Silver Emperor's branch with his fingertip.

In the dark space.

A beam of light shone down on Ah Yin.

The chill on her body slightly lessened.

The blush on Ah Yin's face hadn't completely faded, and her heart raced again, fearing that Ye Qiu would come in and bully her again.

Ye Qiu's voice echoed from all directions.

"Ah Yin, how do you feel?"

"..."

After a long time, there was no reply.

Ye Qiu felt that Ah Yin was still blaming him, so he didn't delay any longer and said to himself, "I've already planted your main body next to the spring eye. This way, even without my help, your growth speed will be very fast. You should put more effort into it yourself."

After a simple explanation, Ye Qiu was about to disconnect.

But Ah Yin suddenly called out to him.

"Wait... Ye Qiu!"

"What's wrong?"

Ye Qiu stopped his movements, and the tentacle extending from his index finger swayed the Blue Silver Emperor.

Ah Yin covered her chest and said softly, "Later... will you still cultivate with me?"

As if afraid Ye Qiu wouldn't agree, she hurriedly added.

"Just... just chatting with me is fine! Can you?"

Ah Yin looked up with a face full of hope, looking at the place where the light shone down. The red frost on her beautiful face was about to spread again.

"Of course!"

"You'll only be staying here for a few months. I'll have to take you away then."

Ye Qiu didn't want to lose Ah Yin.

Otherwise, not to mention Tang Dachui wouldn't let him off, he himself would feel it was a waste.

"Okay... thank you. You can go now!"

Ah Yin's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Hmm?"

Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows, listening to her suddenly cold voice, and couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"How can you be both shy and angry, not only pitiful but also so cold?"

"It's all because of you!"

Ah Yin gritted her silver teeth, grinding them.

Just as she was about to say something else.

The whole world darkened again, and her azure blue eyes also became much dimmer.

Ye Qiu had left.

Ah Yin felt a surge of resentment in her heart, thinking he had eaten his fill and then abandoned her.

Ptooey!

...

"Xiao Qiu~ What's going on with this grass? Why do I feel like you care more about it than you do about me?" Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's hand, gently kneading and playing with it, giving him a charming glare.

"Haha..." Ye Qiu lay down with a smile, enjoying Dugu Yan's lap pillow. He raised his hand and stroked her pretty face. "Yan Yan-jie, you don't need to be jealous of a plant, do you?"

"Hmph, I'm not jealous of it..."

Dugu Yan's face flushed, and she furrowed her delicate brows.

Was she really too sensitive?

But a woman's sixth sense told her that the plant was definitely not simple.

Dugu Yan lowered her head and kneaded Ye Qiu's face, making up her mind. After Ye Qiu absorbed the spirit ring, she would merge with this bad guy once to see what bad things he had done!

"Okay... I'll explain to Yan Yan-jie after I finish absorbing the spirit ring." Ye Qiu said with a wry smile, looking at Dugu Yan's somewhat dangerous expression.

"I knew it!"

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened, and she resentfully hammered Ye Qiu twice.

"Cough cough... Yan Yan-jie, are you trying to murder your husband!"

Ye Qiu looked up at her, his face showing pain.

"How could I use that much force?"

Dugu Yan mumbled, gently retracting her jade legs. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Ye Qiu's face with resentment, and she gently extended her jade hand, her palm stroking his chest.

Ye Qiu smiled, his head resting on Dugu Yan's fragrant and soft thighs. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. He turned his face to the side, sniffed her intoxicating fragrance, and buried his head in her embrace:

"Yan Yan-jie is so good..."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan also smiled like a flower.

...

---

When their emotions were deep, Dugu Yan couldn't help but lean down and kiss Ye Qiu.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Dugu Yan's body trembled, she let out a soft cry, and immediately got up.

"Ah, Grandpa, you're back!"

Along with that, there was also Ye Qiu's scream.

"Ouch!"

Dugu Yan quickly got up and tidied her somewhat messy clothes, even forgetting that Ye Qiu was still resting on her leg.

"Ah~ Xiao Qiu, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's nothing."

Dugu Yan frantically helped Ye Qiu up, and the young couple looked towards the entrance of the valley at the same time.

They saw a spirit beast lying on the ground, about fifteen thousand years old, black and white. It looked like a Stupid , but it had sharp teeth and claws and was chubby all over. At this moment, it was lying peacefully on the ground.

Foam was coming from the corner of its mouth, clearly poisoned.

Ye Qiu's eyes held a hint of surprise as he looked at the spirit beast, feeling incredibly close to it.

Isn't this a giant panda?!

Dugu Bo was stepping on the giant panda, his face stern as he looked at Ye Qiu.

"Haha..."

Ye Qiu let out a dry laugh and asked.

"Senior Dugu, why did you come back so quickly?"

"Hmph! I've been in this Sunset Forest for many years. I know the distribution of spirit beasts here like the back of my hand."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

He didn't expect that while he was looking for a spirit beast for Ye Qiu, this kid was immersed in a gentle embrace.

Dugu Yan didn't say much at this time either.

Blushing, she held Ye Qiu's hand and stood behind her lover.

"Hehe... Senior Dugu, by the way, what kind of spirit beast is this? Is there anything special about it?"

Ye Qiu asked knowingly.

Quickly glossing over the awkwardness from just now.

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, kid."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. He was just a little uncomfortable inside.

Even though the marriage contract was signed, it still hurt to see his daughter taken away just like that!

He introduced, "This is an Iron-Eating Beast, one of the unique spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest. Its strength is very high, and its numbers are extremely rare. I know your martial soul has a bit of a devouring attribute, and this spirit beast survives and fights by devouring various metals. It should be very suitable for you."

"How about it? When do you want to start absorbing the spirit ring? Do you need to rest for a while?"

"No need, I'll start now."

Ye Qiu looked at his fellow countryman from another world lying on the ground and walked towards it.

"Xiao Qiu~"

Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

"Yan Yan-jie, don't worry."

Ye Qiu chuckled and pulled his hand away. He took out a sharp dagger from his soul tool and was already standing beside the Iron-Eating Beast's neck.

This was the advantage of having a background; hunting spirit beasts was so easy.

Ye Qiu sighed in his heart. He raised his hand and brought the knife down, but found that the Iron-Eating Beast had copper skin and iron bones. No wonder Dugu Bo said it was very strong. If it weren't for using poison, Dugu Bo would probably have to spend more effort.

However, Ye Qiu was also good at playing with poison.

Martial soul possessed.

The poison stored in the third spirit skill, Myriad Devouring Poison Fangs, spread from the black on his body to the dagger. He stabbed the dagger into the Iron-Eating Beast's eye.

Soon, the Iron-Eating Beast gasped its last breath and died.

A pitch-black spirit ring slowly emerged from its massive body.
