Hong Yuan ignored Ji Qingxue's pleas. If not for his reputation, he would have fattened her up and swallowed her whole!
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. He was still very weak, and his reputation was crucial.
He walked the path of righteousness, not the Demon Tao.
Reputation, while not strictly essential, still needed to be maintained and valued.
Therefore, Hong Yuan simply pretended Ji Qingxue was merely grumbling and didn't truly wish to leave.
As the "fishing" plan unfolded, one monstrous talent after another was deceived by the combined efforts of Hong Yuan and Ji Qingxue.
In just half a day, Hong Yuan had hunted two more monstrous talents, boosting his soul multiplier to a colossal eight hundredfold.
At this moment, Hong Yuan's Python Soul was entirely silver-white, with only its tail still adorned with bronze lines.
His aura was incredibly terrifying; the Jade Soul Beasts fled upon sensing him, which caused Hong Yuan's hunting efficiency to plummet.
