"One hundred thousand-year soul beast, the Golden Feathered Eagle!"
Grandfather Dragon looked at the gigantic figure in the sky and cried out in astonishment.
Meng Yiran, inexperienced and puzzled, asked, "Grandfather, is it really that strong? Even if you and grandmother join forces, you wouldn't be its match?"
In her eyes, her grandparents were invincible. She had grown up listening to their heroic tales. Their most outstanding achievement was defending their family against a Titled Douluo. Because of this, the fame of the peerless Dragon Duke and Serpent duo was widespread. Even the lesser sects did not dare provoke them, all because of the presence of her grandparents.
Seeing her grandfather's grave expression, Meng Yiran couldn't help but voice her doubts.
Dragon Duke shook his head and said solemnly, "The terror of the Golden Feathered Eagle lies in its incredible speed and its iron-hard feathers. Ordinary attacks can't hurt it. Even Titled Douluo finds it difficult to gain an advantage against it."
He paused, then continued resolutely, "But... Old Lady, it looks like we'll have to risk our lives today."
"I've been ready," Serpent Grandma replied with a strained smile. She then turned to Meng Yiran, sternly instructing, "Yiran, your grandfather and I will hold it off. You find a chance to escape."
"With your talent, you might break through to Titled Douluo in the future. Combined with the support of your external spirit bone, our family will be secure with you. We old ones will rest easy knowing that."
"Grandfather, Grandmother..." Meng Yiran's voice trembled.
"Go, now!" Dragon Duke didn't wait for her to respond. With a swift motion, he flung Meng Yiran away, ensuring she was out of immediate danger.
Immediately, Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother activated their martial soul fusion technique. A phantom, resembling both a dragon and a snake, emerged to confront the Golden Feathered Eagle.
The Golden Feathered Eagle looked disdainful. Did they think such a trivial trick could entangle it? How laughable. Although it couldn't match certain individuals, these humans before it were nothing. With a contemptuous flap of its wings, a powerful tornado materialized, dispersing the phantom and severely injuring the elderly duo.
This outcome wasn't surprising. While Titled Douluo could contend with one hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts, it depended on the individuals involved. And the Golden Feathered Eagle was among the stronger of such beasts. Dragon Duke was merely a Spirit Douluo, and Serpent Grandmother a Spirit Emperor. They stood no chance.
After being gravely injured, the two elders exchanged a determined glance.
"Let's go all out!" they shouted in unison. They had decided that even if it cost their lives, they would ensure their granddaughter's escape. She was their only hope and could not be allowed to perish.
They rose again, charging at the Golden Feathered Eagle. However, this time, the eagle ignored them. Its mission was critical; failure meant its death. Brushing the persistent elders aside, it turned to pursue Meng Yiran, who had not fled far.
Given the Golden Feathered Eagle's speed, it could catch her even if she escaped the Star Dou Forest. Grandfather Dragon's eyes widened in horror as he realized the eagle's target.
"Yiran, no!" he shouted desperately.
Meng Yiran turned at the cry, her legs giving way in terror as she collapsed to the ground. Facing the oncoming Golden Feathered Eagle, she closed her eyes, resigned to her fate. Yet, the expected pain never came. Opening her eyes slowly, she saw a tall figure standing before her.
"Are you alright?" a gentle voice asked, snapping her back to reality. It was the same man who had helped her before. The man who had aided her in obtaining her external spirit bone. She had intended to thank him properly if they ever met again. Now, in her moment of crisis, he had appeared again, shielding her from the formidable soul beast.
With a powerful strike, Su Bai repelled the Golden Feathered Eagle, causing it to cry out in pain. The beast hesitated, glancing resentfully at Meng Yiran before flying away.
Meng Yiran was stunned. The same eagle that had effortlessly defeated her grandparents was now fleeing from this young man. Could he be a Titled Douluo? And not just any Titled Douluo, but an exceptionally powerful one?
Dragon Grandpa and Snake Grandma, equally shocked, finally allowed themselves to breathe a sigh of relief.
The golden eagle was driven away, ensuring their safety.
His granddaughter was unharmed, which was a great relief.
"You must have been scared just now!" Su Bai walked over to Meng Yiran, bent down to pick her up, and smiled reassuringly.
Feeling the softness of her snake-like waist, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a spark of desire.
No wonder he had always been fascinated by her slender waist.
The sensation was incredibly pleasant.
He imagined that she must be pretty lively in bed.
Meanwhile, Meng Yiran was still shaken from the recent danger. Now, being saved by Su Bai, she felt deeply moved and clung tightly to him. Her soft bosom pressed against Su Bai, intensifying his desire further.
At the same time, Meng Yiran started to develop feelings for Su Bai. Women often admire strength, and Su Bai had just saved her in a moment of crisis. Earlier, he had also helped her obtain a soul ring and a soul bone, which had already made a favorable impression on her.
At this moment, Meng Yiran's grandparents, the Dragon Duke and the Serpent Grandmother, approached. Seeing that their granddaughter was safe, they finally felt at ease. They thanked Su Bai, "Thank you, Senior, for saving us. We will repay your kindness in the future."
To them, Su Bai was undoubtedly a Title Douluo and not an ordinary one. If he were just an average Title Douluo, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the golden eagle.
"I was just passing by and lent a hand," Su Bai shook his head, but he made no move to release Meng Yiran.
Meng Yiran, seeing her grandparents approach and realizing that Su Bai still hadn't let her go, blushed with embarrassment but didn't want to leave his embrace. Being held by Su Bai made her feel very safe.
Suddenly, Su Bai looked down at her and said, "We've met twice now. It seems we are destined to meet. I have an opportunity to offer you. Do you want it?"
An opportunity? Meng Yiran blinked her beautiful eyes. She thought to herself, he is so strong; whatever opportunity he offers must be extraordinary. Besides, for some reason, she didn't want to leave Su Bai so soon.
She nodded subconsciously.
Su Bai then looked at the Dragon Duke and the Serpent Grandma. The two exchanged glances and finally agreed. In their minds, Su Bai had no reason to deceive them. With his power, if he wanted to kill them, it would be effortless. There was no need for any deception.
Seeing their agreement, Su Bai carried Meng Yiran and left immediately.
