Chapter 46: Snake Girl Meng Yiran! Zhu Zhuqing understands again! (Bonus 2)

Tang San was pondering life.

"It's coming!" Zhu Zhuqing reminded, "How do we handle it?"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards Zhuge Lan.

As a result, Zhuge Lan slowly disappeared, gone?

An afterimage!

Just as they were about to search for him.

Zhuge Lan was already walking back to the group, carrying a large snake.

It was the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.

"Hiss—"

The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent spat its forked tongue, struggling fiercely.

"Slap—"

Zhuge Lan slapped the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, knocking its head askew.

Then he cast a Holy Light, and the entire snake went limp.

[Emotional Points +555]

"Wasn't it unsuitable? Why did you catch it?" Xiao Wu muttered.

"It's injured, probably being hunted," Zhuge Lan explained, "Let's wait and see if it's a Soul Beast or a Soul Master."

Everyone understood.

A Soul Beast that could hunt the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent must be of a higher age.

Maybe it would be suitable for Oscar.

If it was a Soul Master...

Then it would depend on their sincerity.

They ate on the spot to replenish their strength.

Within a few minutes.

Two figures hurried over from the direction the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent came from.

One old and one young, both female.

It was Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.

Zhuge Lan sized up Meng Yiran.

She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short, blue-gray hair cut to ear level, wearing a low-cut long dress, both valiant and sexy.

She was a little beauty.

[Emotional Points +999]

Looking at the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent being carried, Chao Tianxiang's eyes showed a bit of caution.

She directly revealed her Soul Rings, Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Purple Black!

Six-Ring Soul Emperor!

Then she said politely—

"Little friend, this old woman is Chao Tianxiang, honored by friends in the Soul Master world with the title of Snake Granny."

"My husband is Meng Shu, known as Dragon Duke."

"This is my granddaughter, Meng Yiran."

"This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, this old woman has been chasing for half a day, to be my granddaughter's third Soul Ring."

"It has two wounds on its abdomen, and also wounds under its wings, which were inflicted by this old woman's staff, and are easily identifiable."

"I hope everyone can give Snake Granny some face, and will definitely repay you if there's a chance in the future."

She was polite first, then forceful, with sufficient evidence.

It was remarkable that she could be so meticulous when facing a group of teenagers.

She was a person of substance.

It's just that...

The emotional points she provided were too few.

Zhuge Lan stepped forward and shook the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.

"Its age is also quite suitable for Little Ao's third Soul Ring."

"But seeing that it's injured, I knew it was being hunted."

"I was still thinking about whether I could find a more suitable Soul Beast."

"Too bad..."

Chao Tianxiang heard the implication—he was asking for benefits.

If he wasn't willing to give up the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, he could just say so.

There was no need to be so troublesome.

Just as she was thinking about how to speak...

Meng Yiran couldn't restrain her temper and stepped forward to scold—

"Don't you know about 'first come, first served'?"

"This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was hunted by us, so it should naturally be returned to its original owner!"

"Quickly give it to my sister!"

Hey!

She's got a fiery temper.

Three Soul Rings, Purple Purple Purple, rose beneath Zhuge Lan's feet, shocking the two on the opposite side!

[Emotional Points +1111]

[Emotional Points +1222]

Thousand-year First, Second, and Third Soul Rings?!

What the hell are you!

Chao Tianxiang's first reaction was to pull Meng Yiran back.

They couldn't afford to provoke him!

The power behind this young man was definitely not something they could afford to provoke!

"Little friend," Chao Tianxiang said gently, "What would you like in order to part with this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent? It is indeed very suitable for my granddaughter."

She handed the initiative over to Zhuge Lan.

—It was simple to chat with smart people.

This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent...

Definitely couldn't be given to them.

Otherwise, Meng Yiran would absorb it and return home, then who would hunt the Human-Faced Demon Spider?

If Tang San didn't encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider because of this, wouldn't his External Soul Bone be gone?

What reason should he find?

Zhuge Lan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who nodded in understanding.

—No, what do you understand again?

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and said, "Elder Snake Granny, may I have a word in private?"

Huh?

What are you doing talking to Chao Tianxiang?

Zhuge Lan was curious and wanted to see what Zhu Zhuqing was going to do.

So he didn't say anything.

As a Soul Emperor, Chao Tianxiang wasn't afraid of Zhu Zhuqing playing any tricks.

She took Meng Yiran further away, making sure she could return in time to support her.

Then she walked to the side with Zhu Zhuqing.

Under the Mental Detection, they had a conversation.

"Say what you need to say, this old woman is listening."

Zhu Zhuqing was also direct.

She simply said—

"You saw it, Lan's first Soul Ring is of thousand-year quality."

"The family behind Lan has a secret method to increase the age of Soul Rings."

"If your granddaughter can transfer to my Shrek Academy, I can help her increase the age of her Soul Rings."

"At least 2000 years or more."

"What do you think?"

Zhuge Lan: (●—●)

Huh?

So what Zhu Zhuqing "understood instantly" was—he took a fancy to Meng Yiran and wanted her to come forward and trick her into joining?

Hmm...

That wasn't bad either.

Meng Yiran participated in the Elite Competition and was considered a female supporting character.

Even if he didn't hit on her,

He could usually farm some emotional points.

A steady profit without loss.

On the other side.

Chao Tianxiang instantly understood Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts with her many years of experience.

Although increasing the age of Soul Rings was a bit bizarre.

But Zhuge Lan's facts were real, so there was no need to question it.

2000 years of Soul Ring age was very tempting...

But what kind of backwater academy was this Shrek Academy?

She had never even heard of it.

It was probably the product of some families with a few geniuses and growing ambitions.

The Exotic Beast Academy that Meng Yiran was in was one of the top academies on the continent, and the dean was a good friend of her old man.

It was much more secure.

It wasn't worth it to head into the unknown for a 2000-year increase.

However...

Chao Tianxiang narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhuge Lan.

If they snatched the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent and ran, without hurting anyone.

There wouldn't be too much entanglement.

A powerful aura struck, causing Chao Tianxiang's expression to tighten!

A Soul Saint!

That's right.

How could they let this group of little kids venture so deep on their own.

She immediately dismissed the idea of forcibly snatching it.

She said regretfully, "Since you little friends also need this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, then I won't take what isn't mine."

After speaking.

She pulled the struggling Meng Yiran and turned to leave.

Not giving Zhu Zhuqing a chance to speak.

[Emotional Points +555]

Zhu Zhuqing walked back to the group and shook her head apologetically to Zhuge Lan.

—Sorry, I messed it up.

Zhuge Lan smiled.

He patted Zhu Zhuqing's head.

"You've already done very well, don't worry about it."

[Emotional Points +5555]

[Emotional Points +1111]

[Emotional Points +666]

This wave of dog food was caught off guard.

"Then what should we do with this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent?" Xiao Wu asked with concern, "Since no one can use it, should we just release it?"

Umm...

Zhuge Lan picked up the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.

Speaking of which.

The emotional points this NPC snake gave were much higher than other Soul Beasts of the same tier.

"Let's take it with us for now," Zhuge Lan said, "They just left, if we release it now, it might get caught again."

[Emotional Points +1111]

Xiao Wu nodded happily.

Her impression of Zhuge Lan improved again.

The team continued to move forward.

Zhuge Lan switched to his right hand, carrying the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, occasionally casting a Holy Light Blessing to farm emotional points.

Under the Mental Detection.

Most Soul Beasts' ambushes were exposed.

A Holy Light Blessing made them all retreat in the face of difficulty.

Until...
