100: Heading to Death Canyon!
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight pierced through the glass window and landed on the messy bed.
His finger gently brushed over her fair and clean face, finally resting on her exquisite widow's peak.
In the air, there was a languid fragrance, like spoiled wine.
The contact with the warm, soft jade made Su Ye feel a bit restless.
"This girl... is too passionate!"
Recalling the scenes from last night, Su Ye smiled knowingly and dotingly pinched Zhu Zhuqing's nose.
They say a gentle embrace is a hero's tomb; he had experienced it last night.
If it were on Blue Star, that would be too criminal!
Originally, he was still hesitant, but then he encountered someone who forcefully took him.
Don't look at Zhu Zhuqing's cold exterior; her heart is truly like a ball of fire. Sure enough, women are more lustful than men.
As for the final outcome, naturally, someone was beaten until she lost her armor and begged for mercy before escaping.
Gently kissing Zhu Zhuqing's forehead, Su Ye was filled with the joy of victory. At this moment, he wouldn't even trade it for being an emperor.
Although he hadn't had his fill, Su Ye didn't continue to torment her. He quietly got out of bed and started tidying up.
It was true that Zhu Zhuqing was a Soul Grandmaster, but Su Ye's physical fitness was too exaggerated. The two were not on the same level at all.
After cleaning up the mess in the room, Su Ye finally approached the bed.
"What do you want to eat?"
"..." No one responded.
Su Ye pondered and said, "How about I make you some porridge? There's still a lot of Snow Silkworm left. How about it?"
"..." Still no one responded.
Seeing that someone was still pretending to be asleep, Su Ye couldn't help but feel playful.
With his current mental power, he could clearly sense Zhu Zhuqing's mental fluctuations. The mental power of someone in deep sleep wouldn't be like this.
Su Ye tentatively pulled the quilt, and a strange force resisted him.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was peaceful, but the two blushes on her cheeks became increasingly intense. She was clearly shy and didn't want to deal with a certain big bad guy.
Now you know how to be shy?
Last night...
Shaking his head, Su Ye had no choice but to give up.
"Alright, you rest slowly."
"I'll go make you some nourishing porridge to replenish your fluids."
His footsteps gradually faded away, and the door clicked shut.
Zhu Zhuqing's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, but the figure still in front of her scared her heart into trembling.
Oh no!
She was tricked!!
The spring affection in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes was like endless river water. She shyly bit her pink lips but didn't want to mention last night's embarrassing incident again.
Thinking this, she pulled her weak body, and like a master, she haughtily hummed:
"I'll wash up later and won't go down. Can you bring the food up for me?"
What a sin~
She was moved around like a toy last night. She was almost a puddle of mud now. How could she have any extra strength to go down?
Su Ye didn't answer, but the playfulness in his eyes grew stronger.
"...!!!??"
An hour later, Su Ye, who had finished his affectionate time, left the room full of vitality.
Bang—
The door was gently closed.
"This guy is just completely wicked!"
Pulling the quilt down with both hands, Zhu Zhuqing poked her head out, pouting her delicate nose, her cheeks flushed like fire.
Fortunately, Su Ye didn't go too far, just cuddling and getting his hand-fix. Otherwise, she would have been completely ruined.
He was simply an animal!!
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing's flushed face showed a smile of relief, fear, and happiness.
Although that guy was wild and domineering, he was also quite gentle. The two of them had finally officially confirmed their relationship this time.
But thinking that she was no match for Su Ye at all and surrendered too early, Zhu Zhuqing's face couldn't help but show some sadness.
"In the future... will it always be like this?"
Su Ye naturally didn't know what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking wildly at the moment. He had already come upstairs refreshed.
At the dining table, Ning Rongrong, wearing a blue skirt, was eating breakfast.
Rich dishes filled the entire table, at least twenty plates. This was naturally not for her to eat, but because of Su Ye.
Knowing his appetite, she, who arranged the breakfast, couldn't let him go hungry. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had nothing else in abundance, only money.
Furthermore, this time she had gotten a million gold coins and a chamber of commerce from her family.
"......"
Noticing Su Ye coming down, Ning Rongrong's eating motion paused. Her cute little face puffed up like a hot bun, and she glared angrily, cursing him for being shameless in her heart.
Last night... who knew how she got through it? These two... Bah! She was about to crack!
The air suddenly became a bit quiet.
Hmm?
Su Ye looked over strangely. Ning Rongrong was like a startled rabbit, quickly averting her gaze, her mind filled with all sorts of messy things.
"You... you eat..."
"I... I'm going to cultivate!!"
Her voice trembled. Ning Rongrong dropped her chopsticks and quickly left, her fleeing back looking particularly hurried.
Looking at Ning Rongrong's departure, Su Ye had a strange look on his face, but he didn't think too much about it and quickly focused his attention on the dining table.
After eating his fill, Su Ye made some porridge and put some winter and summer herbs in it to nourish Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Su Ye carried the porridge to the room upstairs.
"Qing'er, I put the porridge on the table. Eat it later."
"Okay."
The voice came from the bathroom. After Su Ye put the things down, he left and came to the small courtyard.
Swish!
Su Ye raised his left palm, and two small crystals appeared out of thin air.
One was a fiery red crystal, which seemed to ignite the surrounding air, causing it to twist and deform.
The other was like an ice prism. The cold made the ground start to freeze and spread rapidly. If it weren't for the Fire Dragon King blood crystal suppressing it, the destructive power would be even more astonishing.
"If I modify this place again, the medicinal herbs will grow faster, and ordinary medicinal herbs can grow quickly."
"Plus the nutrient solution, just the medicinal herbs I grow myself will be enough for Qing'er for a while."
"Alchemy requires mental power. At that time, combining it with a Nine Rank Soul Grass should also help her."
Flames surged. Su Ye's palm sprouted lava-like, thick claws, which were the Fire Dragon King's claws. His right hand also turned into the Ice Dragon King's claws at this moment.
Crack! His claws closed tightly. The two dragon blood crystals instantly shattered. With a bang, two terrifying energies of water and fire exploded, but they were firmly suppressed by the combined Dragon King claws.
Finally, the two energies disappeared simultaneously, turning into a pool of pure milky white liquid.
Buzz—
The energy was too pure and vast. Five-colored auspicious light permeated the air, and even the grass on the ground grew wildly, as if favored by a deity.
In the pond, a stream of water suddenly shot out, swallowing and diluting the milky white liquid.
"Freeze—!"
Su Ye had an ice-attribute inner core in his body, so he easily froze it into an ice sword and plunged this ice sword a hundred meters underground in the pond.
The energy inside the Dragon King blood crystal was too vast. It was beneficial to medicinal herbs in the short term, but releasing too much energy would become a highly toxic substance.
Extreme ice is not easy to melt completely. With this ice sword here, the heaven and earth origin energy in the courtyard will be very suitable for a long time, which is greatly beneficial for medicinal herbs and cultivation.
"Such a miraculous energy is actually used to modify a residence..."
"Little Su... you are wasting heavenly resources."
Under the sunlight, a tall Black Shadow suddenly appeared. Dugu Bo walked slowly and came from behind Su Ye to stand in front of him.
Although Dugu Bo appeared calm on the surface, his gaze was fixed on the arm claws on Su Ye's hands, his eyes abnormally vigilant.
"This kid really has a lot of good stuff on him!"
The more Dugu Bo looked, the more startled he became. Saying he wasn't envious was definitely a lie.
He naturally recognized this as an external Soul Bone, but this Soul Bone actually gave him an extremely strong mental pressure. It seemed... it could threaten his life.
One must know that he was a Title Douluo. The pressure invisibly released by this Soul Bone alone could suppress his mental power, which showed how extraordinary this Soul Bone was.
Rob him?
He didn't dare to have even a flicker of such thought.
Compared to more than a month ago when they met at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the feeling Su Ye gave him now was completely different, very dangerous.
The first time they met, he wasn't absolutely confident he could defeat him, let alone now.
Does he have a dog's face?
When asking for help, he called him 'little friend' one moment, and now he's calling him 'Little Su' again?
Su Ye gave him a roll of his eyes. According to seniority, it was fine, but he coldly reminded him:
"Since the matter of the poison has been resolved, just honestly stay put when you have nothing to do in the future. If something happens to her at your place, don't blame me for being impolite to you."
Dugu Bo didn't care about this at all, but the tone made him frown.
"From what you're saying, you're planning to leave?"
Dugu Bo looked at Su Ye with an expression of neither sorrow nor joy, his deep eyes making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Although his face was stiff and looked cold, it was rare for him to ask about something he cared about.
"If I stayed here all the time, what would I need you for?"
Su Ye couldn't help but mutter in his heart, but he still nodded and replied truthfully:
"Now that my Soul Power has broken through to fifty, I can't keep delaying. It's time to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings."
"So, their safety will temporarily be entrusted to you."
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched stiffly. These calm words were particularly hurtful.
Listen... are these the words of a human?
Fifty Soul Power now?
Fifty?
What a niche term!
Before, with the cultivation of a Soul Venerable, his strength was comparable to a Title Douluo?
If he were to advance to a five-ring Soul King, wouldn't he be able to suppress ordinary Title Douluos?
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo silently cursed him for being a pervert.
If the person Yan'er liked was this kid, how great would that be...
Dugu Bo secretly sighed with regret. Although Yu Tianheng was good, compared to this kid, he was still too far behind.
Moreover, he would rather hear this kid call him Grandpa!
But then again, Dugu Bo had never failed to do something he promised.
Dugu Bo's eyes were sharp as lightning, and he replied proudly:
"You can rest assured about this. Although I am not considered very strong among Title Douluos, protecting two little girls is still easy."
"Looking at the entire Soul Master world, who doesn't know that my Dugu Bo's poison is unparalleled in the world? Even Title Douluos avoid it, let alone causing trouble in my mansion."
"If either of them loses even half a strand of hair, I would have lived these decades in vain!"
Su Ye nodded in satisfaction. This attitude was quite good. As for the literal meaning, there was no need to pay attention.
It's as easy for girls to lose hair as it is to walk. A hundred lives wouldn't be enough for you to compensate.
Su Ye reminded him uneasily, "If you encounter a difficult problem, you can go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help."
"Looking at the monk's face for the Buddha's sake, I have a deal with Rongrong's father. The other party shouldn't be so stingy as to not save them."
Dugu Bo nodded indifferently, seemingly a bit annoyed that Su Ye underestimated him.
Su Ye also asked about the current situation of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
The issue of the Martial Soul poison backlashing the body had been completely resolved for the grandfather and granddaughter. Both chose to first transfer the poison into their Soul Bones and then cultivate the 『Five Poisons Guidance』.
Although doing so wastes poison, the safety factor is the highest. After all, 『Five Poisons Guidance』 is a cultivation technique, and it requires ingesting a large amount of toxins during cultivation. Progressing from zero to more is more in line with the technique's progression.
Currently, Dugu Bo's cultivation technique has reached minor completion. With him guiding her, Dugu Yan's progress is also not slow, but she has companions waiting for her, and she can study and cultivate the technique herself. She has now left Heavenly Dou City.
Remembering the main point, Dugu Bo said in a stiff voice:
"Right, about the matter of thunder that you asked me to inquire about, there is now a lead."
He really found the Thunderclap Hell Vine?
Su Ye's heart felt warm. This matter was not only related to the Heavenly Dipper Divine Fist but also his Soul Ring. It was his top priority before leaving.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and tell me," Su Ye urged.
"Have you ever heard of Death Canyon?" Dugu Bo asked.
In Death Canyon?
This name, Su Ye did have some impression of it, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he didn't remember it very clearly.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's voice sounded.
"Death Canyon, to put it simply, is a dangerous place, rarely frequented by human Soul Masters, but it is a paradise for a different kind of Soul Beast."
"In the Star Dou Great Forest or other places, it's rare to see Soul Beasts containing undead aura, but in places like Death Canyon, there are quite a few such Soul Beasts. Their threat level is no less than that of the Star Dou Great Forest, and many evil Soul Masters have been born there."
"Also because of its special nature, it has always been rejected by the entire continent. This place was forcibly occupied by the Spirit Hall a long time ago because it went against the Spirit Hall's doctrine. The two great Empires were also happy to see this and have never interfered."
After hearing half of it, Su Ye already had an impression of Death Canyon. He remembered that after the Soul Master Competition, this place called Death Canyon appeared.
It seemed that Hu Liena felt the death intensity here was too low, so she turned to go to Slaughter City, while Xie Yue and the others went here.
Su Ye looked puzzled, "Are you sure this place Death Canyon often has thunder?"
"The news was inquired about by this old man. Would I lie to you?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and then said, "Undead Soul Beasts mainly rely on devouring their own kind to improve. Logically, in a place like Death Canyon, there should be many powerful Soul Beasts born."
"But because Death Canyon often has lightning and thunder, those undead-type Soul Beasts are often struck dead before they reach ten thousand years, which is why this area is relatively peaceful. Otherwise, the entire continent would fall into chaos."
As a transmigrator, Su Ye was not as familiar with the continent's various strange tales as the natives. Dugu Bo's statement didn't seem to have any major problems.
However...
Regarding such an important responsibility, if the Thunderclap Hell Vine was indeed killing undead-type Soul Beasts, wouldn't it be irresponsible to the world if he selfishly took it away?
If the undead-type Soul Beasts rioted and couldn't be suppressed, the world would likely suffer greatly.
Wrong!!
"The Thunderclap Hell Vine cannot live for more than fifty thousand years, and those that live for ten thousand years are rare. Since Death Canyon is safe, there's no reason there's only one plant."
"If worse comes to worst, I can cultivate a plant with a shorter lifespan. Anyway, a few thousand years is completely enough for a Soul Ring, and I can synthesize it later."
Su Ye secretly decided that no matter what, he would go and see first. Even if there was a sliver of chance, he would never let it go!
