Chapter 7: Swan Assault, Unknown Ice-Fire Dual Attribute Serpent Soul Beast

The Sunset Forest.

In just half a day, Li Yu and Qian Renxue arrived at the outskirts of the forest.

With Qian Renxue by his side, Li Yu didn't feel nervous.

At this moment, Qian Renxue should already be a Soul Saint, or at the very least, a Soul Emperor.

Moreover, although this trip to hunt soul beasts hadn't involved mobilizing an army, and it was just the two of them, Li Yu understood.

Dugu Bo, who had been poisoned by the Bi Lin Snake and was recovering in the Sunset Forest, was also nearby.

If they encountered any danger, he believed Qian Renxue would be able to contact the Poison Douluo immediately.

Thus, Li Yu came with the mentality of a tourist.

"Miss Li Yu, your Elemental Spirit martial soul can control both water and fire elements. The best soul beast to choose should be one that possesses both water and fire elemental attributes."

With her hands behind her back, Qian Renxue thoughtfully pondered which soul beast to hunt.

She didn't forget to ask, "Miss Li Yu, do you have a preferred soul beast?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu stopped in his tracks, swiftly moving to stand in front of Qian Renxue, then raised his hand to gently grasp her pale chin.

After carefully examining her for a moment, he smiled softly, "Husband always calls me 'Miss'—is there something unsatisfactory about this little woman?"

As he spoke, a hint of grievance appeared on his face, as if he were an abandoned wife, left alone in an empty house, grieving.

Hiss!

Qian Renxue, who had never experienced such a scene, immediately felt her neck and ears flush as red as an apple.

Cheeky Woman!

But what could she do? With the effects of the cross-dressing system, Li Yu currently appeared more feminine than any woman.

Qian Renxue could only curse "Cheeky Woman" in her heart. She couldn't say it out loud, or she'd seem abnormal!

After all, if a young, vigorous man had no reaction to such teasing, that would be truly problematic!

So, Qian Renxue swallowed nervously and, feeling both guilty and flustered, reached out to stop Li Yu from getting any closer, her hand trembling as she rested it on his waist.

"Miss Li Yu, although we are engaged, we haven't yet gone through the ceremony. If I don't call you 'Miss,' what should I call you?"

"Heh."

Sensing the trembling hand resting on his waist, Li Yu smiled lightly and stopped teasing Qian Renxue.

He then responded to her earlier question, "I haven't seen much of the world, so let my husband decide on the soul beast!"

Qian Renxue didn't know his true situation, but Li Yu understood it well.

Choosing the third soul ring didn't really matter to him.

The template had already been set.

No matter which soul beast he added a soul ring from, the soul skill would inevitably correspond to some element control.

So, his primary concern wasn't about the soul ring's years.

It was about the possibility of creating an "accident" when absorbing the soul ring, so that his first and second soul rings could also undergo "mutation."

Rustle~

Just as he finished speaking, a strange sound came from the bushes.

Li Yu spine tingled, as if something terrifying was watching him.

"Be careful!"

Qian Renxue reacted even more quickly. The moment Li Yu sensed the chill, soul power poured from her body, forming a light golden shield around him.

Her gaze, however, was already fixed on a particular direction.

"Monster, show yourself!"

With a soft reprimand, her right fist clenched at her waist, then golden soul power began to gather around it.

"Swan Assault!"

Qian Renxue swung her right fist forward, and the golden soul power turned into a beam of golden light, charging straight ahead!

A divine aura spread, and the terrifying force instantly shattered a patch of shrubs and grass.

Among them, a sneakily approaching serpent soul beast, about ten feet long with silver markings on its body and red eyes like an evil cobra, was struck and severely injured by the blast.

It was left in a dying state.

"...."

Li Yu watched this scene, his lips twitching.

If it were anyone else, they would be shocked by Qian Renxue display of power.

But for Li Yu, he wasn't surprised by Qian Renxue easily defeating a thousand-year soul beast with a single punch.

He wasn't shocked because he knew Qian Renxue true strength.

This so-called "Swan Assault" should have been "Angel Assault!"

It could only be said that in order to conceal her identity, Qian Renxue was going to such extremes.

Even angels had become swans…

"Don't be shocked. I'm not far from becoming a Soul Saint. Killing a soul beast of about two thousand years is still easy for me."

Qian Renxue noticed the expression on Li Yu face and thought he was amazed by her strength, so a smile appeared on her face.

Since she started impersonating Xue Qinghe, she had rarely revealed her strength in front of others.

Now, being able to show it in front of her fiancée, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Li Yu, of course, couldn't expose that he knew her true identity.

So, upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Qian Renxue with admiration and said, "Husband is truly amazing!"

Qian Renxue face broke into a smile, and with just a short sentence, her emotional value was lifted to its peak.

She then frowned, "This serpent soul beast... I've never seen one like this before, but judging by its markings, it must have both water and fire attributes!"

"It's actually quite suitable for you!"

"But how is this so coincidental?"

She wasn't being overly suspicious.

Soul beasts with dual attributes were rare.

Moreover, encountering such a soul beast with about two thousand years of age at the outskirts of Sunset Forest was already strange enough.

And even more so, this soul beast just happened to match the elemental requirements for Li Yu soul ring!

Anyone would be suspicious of this.

"This is too strange, we should..."

Just as she thought this, Qian Renxue immediately abandoned the idea of letting Li Yu absorb this soul ring.

Every soul ring a soul master chooses should be carefully considered. Li Yu, with his top-tier martial soul, should be especially cautious!

Therefore, without knowing the full details of this soul beast, she didn't want Li Yu to take any risks.

But she didn't get to finish her sentence.

She found that Li Yu had already stepped out of the protective shield, walking toward the dying serpent soul beast, and without hesitation, he delivered a finishing blow.

Immediately, a purple soul ring slowly appeared.

Li Yu then sat cross-legged in front of the purple soul ring, his eyes slightly closed, and the purple soul ring was drawn toward his body.

Clearly, Li Yu had already begun the absorption process.

"...."

Qian Renxue stood in silence, but there was nothing she could do.

At this point, stopping Li Yu would likely cause more harm than allowing him to absorb the unknown serpent soul beast!

Thus, after a moment of helplessness, she could only let Li Yu continue absorbing it.

And she had no choice but to guard him.

After all, this was her fiancée, and she had brought him here, so naturally, she had to protect him.

Of course, more importantly, the goal of this trip was to get Li Yu a soul ring. If he could safely absorb this one, it would give him a great boost and complete the task perfectly.

So, there wasn't much to hesitate about.

As for herself, for various reasons, she didn't have to worry about hunting soul beasts.

Everything would be taken care of by her grandfather!
