Chapter 12: Snow Moon
"You're so beautiful and so cute, naturally I like you. I just didn't know you were talking about this!" Wang Sheng was helpless! This little girl's train of thought was so different from that of a normal person.
"Really?"
Meihu, with her beautiful big eyes, looked at Wang Sheng with a twinkling look, as if she wanted to see through Wang Sheng's heart.
Wang Sheng said sincerely: "Of course it's true! I wouldn't lie to anyone but you!"
It was so adorable! As he said that, Wang Sheng couldn't help but pinch Meihu's face twice.
Meihu was stunned. No one had ever treated her like this before. But she didn't react too strongly. She just slapped Wang Sheng's hand away with some displeasure.
Even she herself didn't understand this. In the past, she would have definitely slapped him to death.
"Let's get out of here quickly! It would be terrible if that Earth Soul Ape King came back to attack us!"
Wang Sheng pulled Meihu up.
"Okay!" Meihu obeyed very obediently.
And so, the two of them came together tacitly and began their journey.
A day later, Meihu and Wang Sheng arrived at a small valley in the forest.
"Brother Sheng! This is it! My family and I found it when we passed by earlier. Hehe!"
Meihu, upon learning that Wang Sheng was going to hunt for a second spirit ring, immediately volunteered. She said she had previously seen a very suitable spirit beast, a century-old Blood Phoenix.
It bore the bloodline of the Phoenix. Even if it was only a hint, it was still truly remarkable.
Wang Sheng was naturally delighted!
Their day and night together had blossomed their relationship, and they began calling each other "Brother Sheng" and "Mei'er."
Upon reaching their destination, Wang Sheng was in high spirits.
But he immediately noticed something amiss. At the valley's entrance, he saw a number of footprints!
"Hey, it looks like someone's been here! And just now. Could someone have gotten there first?"
Meihu quickly leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, her face fell. "Hmph! Damn it! This is the spirit beast I found for Brother Sheng. Who has the guts to steal it?"
With that, she dragged Wang Sheng into the valley.
Soul beasts with the bloodline of divine beasts are incredibly rare, so Wang Sheng was naturally eager to obtain one.
However, this soul beast was ownerless. If someone else snatched it first, could he still forcefully seize it?
He understood Meihu's concern for him, so he kept quiet. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. After all, in this world, Meihu was the first person in six years who had truly cared for him.
To say he wasn't touched would be a lie.
When they entered the valley, they were already there. Three soul beasts lay on the ground! A rhinoceros, a large red bird, and a strange snake!
Someone was also absorbing a spirit ring.
Fortunately, the spirit ring from the large red bird didn't reappear, indicating it had simply been severely damaged and unable to resist.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for this meant he still had a chance.
Guarding the man were three people: two children of six or seven, and a beautiful woman in her thirties, who was clearly the leader. They were likely powerful individuals from the family or academy, helping to hunt for spirit rings.
"Brother Sheng, look at that giant crimson bird! It's the Blood Phoenix soul beast I was talking about! I never thought someone would actually help us defeat it! Hurry and give it one last blow, and the soul ring will be yours!"
Wang Sheng knew this, of course.
But this was a soul beast hunted by someone else, so why should he absorb it?
Besides, it was at the critical juncture of refining its soul ring, and that person was at their wit's end.
Leaving it now would easily cause misunderstandings. If he wasn't careful, the other party would attack directly.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly!
However, Mei Hu, standing nearby, couldn't wait any longer. It would be a shame to miss out on the Blood Phoenix soul ring!
So, she immediately tried to drag Wang Sheng out.
"Mei'er, stop it!"
Finally, their movements were noticed by several people.
The beautiful woman across from them shouted, "Who's there, come out!"
At the same time, she released her soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and one black!
This was a Soul King with the best equipment! No wonder he dared to come here alone with three children to hunt soul beasts!
He was able to knock down two hundred-year soul beasts and kill one hundred-year soul beast, without any damage to himself. Under his protection, the three children were also unharmed.
The other two children immediately protected the child who was absorbing the soul ring, one on the left and one on the right. However, both of them were only soul masters with one soul ring.
The three of them were obviously in a state of full alert! After all, at this time, the child absorbing the soul ring could not bear the slightest impact.
"Don't get me wrong, we are here to hunt soul rings too! We just didn't expect to run into you by such a coincidence!"
Now that they've been discovered, hiding would only arouse their suspicion. Better to go out openly.
"Huh!"
The three people across from them breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Wang Sheng and Meihu. After all, Wang Sheng and Meihu looked only about ten years old. [Actually, they're only six. They just look anxious, hahaha!]
However, they immediately began to question themselves. How could two half-grown children come here alone to hunt soul beasts?
They were nervous, but Meihu didn't care. Pointing at the blood phoenix, she proudly said, "This one's for me."
Wang Sheng slapped his forehead. This girl's EQ was truly worrying! Didn't you see the person across from her was a five-ringed Soul King? What kind of tone is that?
He was truly defeated!
He assumed Meihu was spoiled by her family, but he hadn't considered that she simply didn't know how to get along with others.
"Mei'er!"
Wang Sheng pulled her behind him, stopping her. After all, if she continued, nothing would become something, and a possibility would become an impossibility.
"Sorry to bother you! My sister, I just saw that soul beast was a perfect match for me, so I was a little rude."
At this, Wang Sheng politely let the impoliteness slip and continued, "I apologize here. However, I see you have no intention of absorbing the soul ring of this soul beast. Can you..."
"Hmph! Our teacher Xueyue defeated this soul beast. Why should I let you hunt it and absorb it?" One of the boys immediately shouted in frustration.
"Teacher? That means these people are from a certain academy!" Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, because compared to family members, academy members were relatively easy to talk to.
Teacher Xueyue was observing Wang Sheng and Hu Mei.
He thought to himself, "Their clothes are the same! They can't be from a family. Even if they are students at the academy, they must be part-time students! Could they really come here alone to hunt soul rings?"
Moreover, even if there were others in the dark, having these two people nearby would be like two hostages if anything went wrong! This would be advantageous for them!
Besides, the blood phoenix bird had been severely injured by her and was close to death.
The spirit ring will come out sooner or later, and if it is not absorbed, it will only be a waste!
Even if no one is there, it will be a bargain for these two little guys! They have not suffered any substantial loss!
