"Hiss—"
Ye Feng's toes suddenly clenched the ground.
Damn, that voice practically made his hair stand on end.
"Your skills are getting better and better, huh? How about a rabbit leg for me?"
Clad in golden armor with hair down to his shoulders, he sashayed over, his peach blossom eyes on Ye Feng.
"Chrysanthemum Uncle, can't you be serious for once? Even the crows are flying away because of that voice."
Ye Feng looked at the man approaching him with a choked expression on his face.
That's right; this man was Judo Luo Yueguan.
A super perverted hermaphrodite, and getting more and more outrageous.
He now seriously doubted that when he watched the anime, he might have toned down the character just to avoid a visual assault.
When you really come into contact with this character in the Douluo Realm, you'd know just how terrifying this Chrysanthemum Douluo with his coquettish voice and snake-like waist really is.
Enough to blow his three views to bits.
"What's the matter, I especially came to see you. But to think you actually survived being chased by Hao Tian, you really do have a huge life."
Chrysanthemum Douluo pulled off a rabbit leg and quietly sat beside Ye Feng, delicately picking off the charred parts with a flourish of his fingers.
"What? You actually know about Hao Tian Douluo chasing me?"
Ye Feng was unsettled by the news.
The Martial Soul Hall actually knew about this!
"Ever since Tang Hao came out of the mountains, our Martial Soul Hall sent out scouts. Although they didn't get much information, they found out he entered Sunset Forest with you, and later, they even saw signs of a fight inside... Hey, this tastes really good."
Chrysanthemum Douluo took a bite.
It was way too delicious.
He couldn't help but praise it.
It was even better than the chefs in those fancy restaurants.
"You saw Tang Hao following me into Sunset Forest, and none of you thought to send help?"
Ye Feng looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo upon hearing that.
He truly thought he was done for that night!
"But that was Tang Hao; whom should we have sent to help you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Ye Feng while gracefully eating the rabbit meat.
"What the hell? Is Martial Soul Hall really that heartless??"
Ye Feng was shocked.
So you, Chrysanthemum Pass, have come today to collect a corpse?
"Well, it's not exactly heartless. The real reason is that the scout at the time didn't recognize you, so he didn't pay much attention. It was only after the Young Master noticed you were missing that he quietly sent troops to search everywhere. After analyzing the path you might have taken, the scouts that night realized, the person who was followed that day was you. Later, a team searched the forest and found nothing but signs of a fight."
Chrysanthemum Douluo twisted off the rabbit's head.
Not a particularly special hobby, Chrysanthemum Douluo liked to gnaw on rabbit heads.
"Uh... so you're here to collect my body?"
A breeze blew by, leaving Ye Feng feeling a bit disheveled.
Martial Soul Hall was so unreliable, taking over a month to notice him.
If he had been done in by Tang Hao and died heartless, would they even find a single bone fragment now?
Probably not.
"Pretty much. The Young Master ordered me to search deeper, saying 'alive we must see the person, dead we must see the body,' so I came. But I never expected to find you here, perfectly fine, roasting rabbits! It's outrageous!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo had an annoyed look.
"Then I guess I've really disappointed you, huh!"
Ye Feng looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and rolled his eyes as he spoke.
Here he was, perfectly fine and roasting rabbits, and that's outrageous? Would it have been okay if he'd been torn to pieces by wild wolves?
"Speaking of which, you entered Sunset Forest looking for Soul Rings, right? How's that going? Need me to lend you a hand?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked Ye Feng.
"Wow, Chrysanthemum Uncle, you're actually taking the initiative to help me find Soul Rings? That's rare!"
Ye Feng was shocked.
Chrysanthemum Douluo actually took the initiative to help him look for a Soul Ring, unbelievable.
"No way around it, there's a saying that goes, 'eat a man's food and your mouth gets short, take a man's hand and you get soft.' Didn't you provide me with a roasted rabbit dinner tonight? Of course, the main reason is Young Master's command. Finding the Soul Ring for you will put Young Master's mind at ease. What if the Tiandou Empire's royal household catches on to your presence because she's constantly worrying about you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shrugged his shoulders as he spoke to Ye Feng.
Infiltrating the Tiandou Empire was Martial Soul Hall's most crucial mission.
If they were discovered, all would be for naught!
"Xue'er's order? So the other side knows I'm not dead?"
Ye Feng was somewhat astonished.
"Who could easily kill you, a fourteen-year-old Soul King who won eighty consecutive matches in one night at the Soto City Great Soul Fighting Arena? Now I understand why the Young Master places such high value on you, little guy; you're completely like a second 'her'!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said with irritation.
Completely filled with envy, jealousy, and hate!
Such strength at such a young age.
When he was fourteen, he was just a level 29 Grand Soul Master.
Ah, truly, comparison is the thief of joy.
"That's true, so I won't bother Chrysanthemum Uncle with this fifth Soul Ring, I've already obtained it."
Ye Feng stood up and grabbed another wild rabbit.
There wasn't anything he could do about it.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had snatched half his dinner.
He even took the spicy rabbit head that he loved to eat the most.
He could only roast another one.
"What, you've got the fifth Soul Ring? Also from a ten-thousand-year soul beast?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Ye Feng incredulously.
"What are you saying, Chrysanthemum Uncle? Would I hunt for a thousand-year soul beast? Can Soul Rings go backwards?"
Ye Feng's first Soul Ring was from a thousand-year beast, his second Soul Ring was from a thousand-year beast, his third Soul Ring was from a ten-thousand-year beast, his fourth Soul Ring was from a ten-thousand-year beast; would he really go back to a thousand-year beast for his fifth Soul Ring??
Unless his brain was damaged, he would never do such an idiotic thing.
"How many thousand years?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
He was very curious now.
"Fifty thousand."
Ye Feng replied.
"Fifty thousand? So Tang Hao came to help you hunt the soul beast for the ring??"
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Ye Feng, his whole demeanor one of disbelief.
A level 50 peak Soul Ancestor hunting a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beast, how could this be possible?
Normally speaking, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is equivalent to a Hyper Douluo, and of course, soul beasts are typically much stronger than humans.
A soul beast of around eighty thousand years would be roughly equivalent to a human Titled Douluo, one of around sixty thousand years to a human Soul Douluo, and forty thousand years to a Soul Sage level.
Ye Feng just said he had hunted a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beast, which would be equivalent to between a human Soul Sage and a Soul Douluo level—not to mention the established fact that soul beasts are generally stronger than humans.
Ye Feng is just a top-grade Soul Ancestor, how on earth did he do it?
If you say Tang Hao helped, then he, Yue Guan, might believe it.
"Tang Hao? If it wasn't for my wits, you, Chrysanthemum Uncle, wouldn't see me at all."
Tang Hao helping him hunt soul beasts? In his dreams!
Tang Hao had come to beat him, Ye Feng!!
"Freak!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was lost in thought for about a second, then blurted out such a word.
"No, no, no. When it comes to being a freak, you're the number one, Chrysanthemum Uncle."
Hearing this, Ye Feng quickly responded.
"Shall we have a go then??"
