A single man and a single woman in the same cave! However, the only thing that kept echoing was his stomach's strong protest, which rose and fell in the cave.
"Grumble … grumble …"
Their faces were a bit red, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"I'm hungry. Aren't you going to get something to eat?"
Shui Bing'er hugged her knees and looked at Fang Xuan timidly.
"Why me? You owe me so much money; you should be the one to go!"
Fang Xuan was in a fit of anger. He felt that he had suffered a significant loss by saving this girl.
"I'll go?!"
With her soul power sealed, she didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. She reckoned that she wouldn't even be able to defeat a wolf. This big scoundrel wasn't willing to help her unseal her soul power. She puffed up her cheeks and sulked in anger.
In the cave, the bonfire burned quietly, and the gentle light dispelled the darkness of the night.
Late at night, when the two were about to fall asleep, a wild beast roar exploded at the cave entrance.
"Roar —"
The earth shook, and huge rocks rolled down, startling a flock of birds perched on the trees.
A giant creature suddenly barged into the cave, waking Fang Xuan and Shui Bing'er, about to fall asleep.
This was a black demonic bear. Its scarlet eyes were emitting a fierce light, and its body was as black as ink. Each strand of hair was as hard as steel, and there was a row of sharp barbs on its back, like the back of a saber-toothed dragon. It looked ferocious and terrifying, and its demonic aura filled the air.
"Ten-thousand-year soul beast, Armored Demonic Bear!"
Shui Bing'er exclaimed. This demonic bear posed a solid threat to her, and her delicate body trembled.
"Food is here …"
However, Fang Xuan's reaction was completely different from the girl's. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also drooling. He looked at this ten-thousand-year demonic bear with a fiery gaze as if looking at a sumptuous meal.
"Roar —"
The Armored Demonic Bear roared angrily. It was incomparably angry at Fang Xuan and Shui Bing 'er for trespassing on its territory. Its huge demonic body spewed out black soul power and rushed toward the two with a murderous aura.
"Draw!"
Fang Xuan snorted coldly. He skillfully stroked the hilt of his sword with his right hand. The Shadowless sword was suddenly unsheathed. The blade's sharp edge pierced through the night sky and turned into a three-foot-long silver streak of light, cutting the Bear in half.
"Ahhh …"
The Iron Armored Demonic Bear let out an unwilling cry and fell to the ground, dead. Its colossal body smashed into the ground, causing rocks to roll down. At the same time, a pitch-black halo rose from the corpse.
"Haha, we have meat to eat!" Fang Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of joy. He ignored the ten thousand-year Soul Ring and immediately began to pick up the bear meat. He skinned it and removed the bones, then used a finger knife to tear off a large piece of the bear's paw that weighed over twenty kilograms!
He dashed outside and searched along the mountain range. Finally, 1,200 meters away, he found a clean stream under an ancient tree. He washed the bear meat while drinking the spring water in big gulps.
Finally, he hesitated for a while. Finally, he took a jade bottle from his soul tool and brought some water for Shui Bing'er. After doing all this, he quickly returned to the cave. He used his Shadowless sword to skewer the bear meat and roasted it beside the fire.
Fang Xuan used the Red Lotus Fire of his Fire Qilin martial soul to increase the temperature of the fire.
Soon, the bear meat was roasted golden and crispy. The fat flowed, and a mellow aroma filled the air, warming the cold night.
"Gulp ~"
The rich aroma of the meat immediately aroused Shui Bing'er's appetite. Thunder rumbled from her shriveled stomach. Her eyes sparkled as she stared unblinkingly at the big piece of golden and fragrant bear meat. Her face was full of desire. She was so hungry that her saliva almost flowed out.
"Do you want to eat?"
Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows. He tore off a piece of golden and crispy bear meat with his left hand and slowly passed it to Shui Bing'er.
"Yes, yes." Shui Bing'er's clear eyes lit up. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice. When she saw Fang Xuan pass the first piece of meat to her, she revealed a look of joy. After that, she obediently opened her mouth and waited for Fang Xuan to put the meat into her mouth.
However, Fang Xuan twirled the roasted bear meat under Shui Bing'er's nose and then stuffed it into his mouth.
He laughed evilly and said, "I'm not giving it to you!"
"No matter what, Fang Xuan will always be a bad guy …"
Shui Bing'er, who was being teased, pulled a long face. She was fuming, and her almond-shaped eyes were wide open.
However, Fang Xuan still gave her a lot of meat and water. After the two of them ate and drank to their hearts' content, they couldn't help but feel sleepy. Then, they both went to sleep.
… …
The time passed quickly, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Fang Xuan's soul power had completely recovered, and his strength had returned to its peak. Furthermore, he had improved dramatically after the battle with the Qilin Douluo.
With his help, Shui Bing'er had successfully broken through her seal. Furthermore, under the tempering of the seal, her strength had increased tremendously. She had broken through to Rank 50 in one fell swoop and could absorb her fifth soul ring.
After this observation period, Fang Xuan had more or less figured out the situation around him. They had mistakenly entered the Great Star Dou Forest as he'd predicted. Furthermore, they were in the most central area of the forest.
Spirit beasts with profound cultivation often roamed around here. Soul beasts of ten thousand years and above were common, and even hundred thousand-year soul beasts lurked in the shadows.
Two days ago, he had met a hundred-thousand-year Jade Water Serpent Demon. It was mighty. With just a glance, it had caused countless soul-beasts to submit to it. Fang Xuan quietly observed from the side. He didn't act rashly.
The Great Star Dou Forest was a perilous place. However, Fang Xuan quickly left the Douluo Continent's most dangerous soul beast forest.
The more dangerous a place was, the more opportunities there were.
Fang Xuan had yearned for the soul ring and soul bone of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. If he couldn't obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he wouldn't be willing to leave just like that.
He had been secretly searching for a target to hunt. At the same time, he had been benevolent enough to help Shui Bing'er obtain her fifth soul ring. He had been swamped these past two days.
On the morning of the fifth day, the sun was high. Golden rays of sunlight shone down from the sky, covering the boundless forest with dazzling golden light.
"You're just a mere ten-thousand-year soul beast. What are you being so arrogant for? Freeze! "
Runes intertwined beneath Fang Xuan's feet. Divine light permeated the air. His Bluesilver Domain gradually appeared and quickly spread in all directions. It firmly sealed a ten-thousand-year Ice Luan in front of him. No matter how it screeched, it couldn't move.
"Now!"
His gaze focused as he spoke to a beautiful blue-haired girl beside him.
"Yes!"
Shui Bing 'er nodded. With the clench of her jade-like hand, the power of ice condensed into an ice spear. She brandished the spear and pierced through the Ice Luan's head, quickly killing this ten-thousand-year soul beast.
The next moment, a pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring rose from the Ice Luan's corpse, causing the girl to reveal a look of joy.
Roughly half an hour later, a violent surge of soul power could be felt from the forest.
Shui Bing 'er had successfully absorbed the Ice Luan's ten-thousand-year soul ring and finally became a five-ringed Soul King!
"Thank you, Fang Xuan."
She stroked her hair and looked at Fang Xuan with gratitude. Without his help, it would have been impossible for her to defeat this ten-thousand-year Ice Luan.
"You're welcome. Quickly grow to the point where you can be my cannon fodder!" Fang Xuan's expression was cold.
He curled his lips. "Only Rank 51, so weak …"
Shui Bing 'er: "…"
So you're helping me so that I can be your cannon fodder?
The girl was driven mad. Fang Xuan often angered her to the point of flipping out.
