Diary—Chapter 61: Beauty Saves Hero? Gu Yuena Rescues Luo Ye?

Diary—Chapter 61: Beauty Saves Hero? Gu Yuena Rescues Luo Ye?

Despair filled the hearts of Tang San and Oscar.

They could never have imagined that a simple trip to the Star Dou Great Forest would turn them from geniuses into waste.

What did it mean that their third soul rings absorbed a ten-year level? Even a world-famous waste like Yu Xiaogang couldn't do such a thing.

But they had done it—for two people at the same time—and one of them was a twin-martial soul owner, which directly caused Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to be deprived of its first three soul rings.

Tang San, Oscar, and Zhao Wuji didn't know how to face Flanders and the others. They could only sit there silently, their faces dull.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun weren't affected emotionally, but they understood how painful and desperate these three were. So, they sat quietly on the ground with them.

Unlike Tang San and the others' despair, Luo Ye was in high spirits.

Meng Yiran had successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Phoenix-tail Crest Serpent and became a true three-ring soul elder.

She was about to invite Luo Ye and the three Shrek beauties to her academy when she saw Dragon Duke return hurriedly.

Dragon Duke looked at Meng Yiran and asked,

"How is Yiran? Did you absorb the soul ring?"

Meng Yiran nodded with a smile.

"I have absorbed it all, Grandpa. I am now a three-ring soul elder."

The Serpent Grandmother beside her looked at Dragon Duke and asked,

"How is it? Did you kill Zhao Wuji?"

Dragon Duke was reminded by her words. The smile on his face, when he learned that Meng Yiran had successfully absorbed the soul ring, disappeared instantly. He shook his head and said in a heavy tone,

"It failed. We'll discuss the details later. What's most urgent now is to leave immediately."

"I don't know what happened, but the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape inexplicably appeared on the periphery. I almost encountered him just now."

Hearing the name "Titan Giant Ape," the Serpent Grandmother's face also showed a hint of fear, and she hurriedly nodded.

"Alright, let's go now."

Dragon Duke turned to Luo Ye and the three Shrek beauties and invited them,

"Dear friend Luo Ye, why don't you come with us? It'll be safer this way."

Luo Ye refused without hesitation.

"No need, Senior Dragon Duke. We'll go separately."

Dragon Duke originally wanted to test whether Luo Ye had a family. If he didn't, he would invite him to join his group.

But now the situation was critical, and he couldn't afford to wait.

Since Luo Ye declined, Dragon Duke didn't hesitate. He quickly left with Serpent Grandmother and Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran wanted to say a few more words to Luo Ye—perhaps to build a good relationship with this son of destiny—but with the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape, her plans were shattered.

After Dragon Duke, Serpent Grandmother, and Meng Yiran left, Luo Ye looked at the three Shrek beauties and said,

"Let's go too. If we run into the Titan Giant Ape, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, we'll be in serious trouble."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had no objections. Although Xiao Wu hesitated slightly, she finally nodded.

She sensed that Er Ming had appeared here because he detected her aura, but to act more naturally, she could only follow Luo Ye and leave.

[Did the Titan Giant Ape come again?]

[He appeared here just to find Xiao Wu, but we won't be in danger because of this.]

[And Xiao Wu's soul power must have reached level 30. As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu's first seven soul rings can be condensed by herself without hunting soul beasts.]

[But this is still a bit too shocking for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. It's better if they don't discover Xiao Wu's true identity as a soul beast for now.]

[So, I still need to find an opportunity for Xiao Wu to leave us temporarily and come up with a convincing reason for her third soul ring.]

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a little happy.

Her soul power had indeed reached level 30. She was already thinking about how to leave temporarily, and Luo Ye's words made it easier.

At this moment, the ground began to shake. Tall trees rustled, and a deep roar echoed through the sky.

Hearing the roar, Luo Ye pretended to be shocked and shouted,

"Titan Giant Ape?!"

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu also showed panic at the right time.

Before they could react, the enormous Titan Giant Ape, as tall as a hill, appeared before them.

Seeing this, Luo Ye shouted,

"Run separately! Zhuqing, take Ning Rongrong with you, and Xiao Wu, don't run in the same direction as them. I'll draw this guy away."

Without waiting for their response, Luo Ye took the initiative to confront the Titan Ape.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu simultaneously.

Feeling their gaze, Xiao Wu shook her head and whispered,

"Don't worry. I won't let Er Ming hurt Luo Ye."

After receiving her reassurance, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. To cooperate with Xiao Wu, they chose different directions to run, following Luo Ye's instructions.

The Titan Ape initially intended to find Xiao Wu directly, but according to Gu Yuena's order, he had to chase Luo Ye first.

Hence, he temporarily abandoned Xiao Wu and pursued Luo Ye.

Though Luo Ye's face was full of anxiety, his heart was calm.

From the moment he saw the Titan Ape give up Xiao Wu and chase him, he understood that Gu Yuena was the mastermind behind this incident.

If everything went according to plan, Gu Yuena was simply using this opportunity to perform the act of "Beauty Saving The Hero." Although her plan was somewhat far-fetched, it was at least a plausible reason.

'Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena, can't you think of a better way? You still need me to help patch the loopholes.'

Luo Ye silently complained in his heart, then suddenly his eyes lit up with a perfect plan.

Not only could he provide a reasonable excuse for Gu Yuena's appearance, but he could also make her take the initiative to get close to him.

Thinking this, Luo Ye began writing in his diary.

[What's going on? Shouldn't the Titan Giant Ape be targeting Xiao Wu? Why is he chasing me?]

[What the hell is happening? I can't handle the Titan Ape with my current strength. I can't just die at his hands like this!]

Seeing these words, Gu Yuena revealed a playful smile.

She was about to make her move.

At the right moment, Gu Yuena appeared not far in front of Luo Ye and waved at him.

"Run this way."
