Time flies, and before they knew it, Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing had been in the Star Dou Great Forest for almost half a month.

During the day, Ye Qiu would lead her on horseback, taking her on a journey to watch the sunrise and sunset together, searching for suitable soul beasts for the two of them. At night, Ye Qiu would take her into the Divine Might Space to spend the night.

Now, Zhu Zhuqing has fully recovered from her injuries. Carrying a ten-year-old soul beast bamboo rat, she walks into a cave.

"Here! This is my lunch! I really don't know why you don't eat rabbit, it's obviously tastier than this..." He muttered a few words, tossed the little bamboo rat in front of Ye Qiu, and turned to sit down next to Ye Qiu.

Because she hadn't fought in a long time, she suggested going hunting to get her fighting spirit back. Unexpectedly, she wiped out a whole litter of rabbits on her first try...

"Hehe... Oh well, I promised others I wouldn't eat rabbit anymore." Ye Qiu chuckled, picking up the bamboo rat and starting to prepare it. "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be such a skilled hunter!"

"My older sister always targets me, so I usually have to cook all the meals myself." She's used to it, fiddling with her left leg to see if it was clean.

"I see~" Ye Qiu didn't say anything more, silently roasting the bamboo rat. Since the accident last time, Ye Qiu understood that she didn't want to have too much interaction with him... Besides, he already had a rabbit!

Zhu Zhuqing frowned, her occasional distancing from Ye Qiu revealing her growing irritation. This should have been her ideal situation, yet she couldn't feel happy.

"My body has fully recovered. When can we go soul hunting?"

"Just finish this meal, and there's a suitable one among the Shadow Spiders we encountered earlier. Have you thought it over? If not, we can change..." Ye Qiu had already considered his choice of soul beast.

If Tang San can use that herb to create poison, why can't an agility-based character? The combination of armor penetration and poison is also very suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.

As we all know, agility-type Soul Masters generally have low attack power. They are like assassins, lurking around the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

If you encounter someone with strong defense, you might not even be able to hurt their vital points. But if you have poison, just breaking the skin will be enough to hurt them!

"I'll do as you say, I believe you!"

Unmoved by Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Ye Qiu looked at the barbecue in his hand and said, "In that case, let's take action this afternoon!"

"Row!"

……

Outside the Shadow Spider swarm's lair, a transparent vortex appeared out of thin air, and two figures materialized on a tree branch. Ye Qiu had already scouted the area and made spatial markers beforehand.

Those shadow spiders usually go out to hunt alone, so they only need to wait here.

"I'll pick one that's about two thousand years old and lead it out. Wait for me at the destination!" Ye Qiu instructed Zhu Zhuqing.

"I want to do it myself!" However, she wasn't particularly appreciative. Seeing Ye Qiu's confusion, she looked at the dark nest, "I don't want to reap the benefits without sowing, and... with your abilities, saving me shouldn't be a problem, right?"

He nodded helplessly.

"I really don't know whether to call you strong-willed or stubborn! Go if you want to, I'll wait for you!" Ye Qiu was helpless against her strong-willed personality.

"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Time slowly passed, and in Ye Qiu's sight, a shadow spider with legs about four meters long was about to emerge from the cave.

"It's coming, get ready!"

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's voice, she immediately became alert.

With a soft hiss, the spider's legs pierced the soil, and its massive body slowly emerged from the cave, heading towards the outside.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed.

Ye Qiu, on the other hand, quietly left the tree branch using his divine power.

When the Shadow Spider had gone far enough, a beam of light flew out from Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve and hit its eyes, causing sparks to fly out!

"Heh~" The Shadow Spider let out a strange cry, as if it had spotted some delicious food, and immediately crawled toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Bang! Some small trees were snapped in two by it. After getting close to Zhu Zhuqing, it stretched out its spider legs to pierce its prey.

First Soul Skill, Netherworld Thrust! Zhu Zhuqing's figure suddenly lunged forward rapidly, and the spider leg attack missed its mark!

Ye Qiu told her that Nether Thrust could be used not only as an attack skill but also as an evasion skill. Every time the Shadow Spider was about to get close to her, Zhu Zhuqing would use her first soul skill, Nether Thrust, to increase her speed and create some distance.

She gritted her teeth and ran as fast as she could; the meeting place with Ye Qiu was not far away!

"Huh?" As he ran, it seemed like there was no sound behind him.

Turning around, his expression froze, and he paused—the Shadow Spider had vanished!?

Tick!

"Ugh..." A sudden pain shot through her shoulder; a drop of venom had landed on it, corroding her clothes...

His face paled, and he suddenly looked up, only to find the shadow spider hanging above his head, its disgusting mouthparts drooling.

"Pfft!" A spider web coated with venom sprayed directly at her. Zhu Zhuqing rolled to dodge it, but several spider legs stabbed out in succession. She dodged left and right several times.

"Hiss~" A little bit of corrosive venom accidentally splashed onto her leg, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground... Pfft! A mouthful of venom sprayed all over her face.

Zhu Zhuqing watched helplessly as the venom drew ever closer, gritting her teeth, 'I'm still too weak!'

"Kamui!" At the critical moment, Ye Qiu arrived just in time, and all the venom was transferred by his Sharingan.

With a sharp, piercing cry, the Shadow Spider, having ruined its plans, was not about to let it go. It abandoned Zhu Zhuqing and charged towards Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu... watch out!" Seeing that they were about to crash into each other, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but warn them, but what she saw next was beyond her comprehension. "How could this be?!"

With a hiss, the Shadow Spider's legs plunged into the ground, bringing it to a stop right in front of Ye Qiu.

It remained completely still, even when Ye Qiu stood on its back, it didn't budge!

Chapter 39 Shadow Hundred Kills!

The Shadow Spider had been temporarily controlled by Ye Qiu's Sharingan, so he jumped onto it and stood there.

Zhu Zhuqing looked on in disbelief.

*Hiss!* The Shadow Spider turned around and lay prone on the ground, as if inviting her to come up with it.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Ye Qiu crossed his arms over his chest, a gentle breeze ruffling his black, tousled hair, giving him a rather triumphant air.

"It's nothing!" Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and got up from the ground.

"Would you like to try riding a spider?" He extended his hand, extending an invitation.

Her eyes sparkled with interest; clearly, she was tempted. She nodded, reached out and grabbed Ye Qiu, then leaped up!

Chi Chi!

The shadow spider carried the two of them as they roamed through the jungle.

"How did you even do that?" Looking at the receding shadows of the trees around her, riding a giant spider through the Star Dou Great Forest! She thought this kind of behavior... was truly...

Thai pants are hot!

A relaxed smile appeared on their faces.

"This is the power of my martial soul!" Ye Qiu pointed to his eyes, which were covered by black silk.

"Oh, I see~" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, her expression somewhat unnatural. The black ribbon was cut from her stockings.

Ye Qiu had no choice; other fabrics would obstruct his vision to some extent, so these porous black silks were the best option.

We arrived at a huge cave, where shadow spiders hung from the ceiling, spinning webs.

Ye Qiu also untied the ribbon from his eyes, revealing a red glow.

"What should I do? Kill it now?" Looking at the two-thousand-year-old soul beast, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little nervous. She didn't know if she could survive.

"You don't need to do anything, just accept the energy it sacrifices, and I will give you the greatest benefit!" Ye Qiu pulled her directly under the Shadow Spider.

"Sacrifice!" Zhu Zhuqing stared at him blankly, her heart pounding... Could this really be possible? If so... wouldn't she gain enormous benefits? "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? Get ready!" Ye Qiu said irritably, pinning her down on the ground, adjusting her legs, and pressing down on her shoulders. "You want to become stronger, right? Then trust me. Have you forgotten my first step?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at his reddened eyes, her face flushed, and nodded gently, "I believe you!" Then she sat up straight.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn't delay any longer, and the six-pointed star in his eyes shone brightly.

"Heh~" The shadow spider, hanging upside down, still struggled in its death throes...

"It seems I'm still a bit strained..." Ye Qiu touched his eye socket, then suddenly stared intently. Since that's the case, then he'll increase his output!

Blood flowed from the corner of her eye, followed by a purple glow from the Shadow Spider. After a mournful cry, purple mist rose from its body, resembling an inverted purple waterfall that cascaded down onto Zhu Zhuqing below.

"here we go!"

"Hmph~" Zhu Zhuqing let out a muffled groan. Even without Ye Qiu's reminder, she knew that the sacrifice had begun. Soul power that could fill her body surged in continuously, and her face turned slightly red.

"Hang in there! Only by absorbing as much of this energy as possible can you get the greatest benefit!" Ye Qiu encouraged her from the side. He didn't intend to help, believing that with her perseverance, she would have no problem holding on.

Ye Qiu sat down cross-legged facing the cave entrance. He had used up too much of his mental energy and needed to recover properly.

Time slowly passed, the inverted purple waterfall became more and more slender, and Zhu Zhuqing's aura slowly stopped rising.

A yellow halo first appeared beneath her, followed by a faint purple halo. Gradually, the purple halo became more solid, and after a few small tremors, it subsided.

Ye Qiu had already stood up. Looking at the disappearing purple light, he knew that she had finished absorbing it!

Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Ye Qiu! I did it! I did it!" She leaped and crashed into Ye Qiu's arms, hugging his neck and jumping up and down.

Only then did she show the vitality of a girl, lively and expressive.

"Congratulations on obtaining your second purple spirit ring."

"..." Zhu Zhuqing also realized what was happening, her face blossoming into a beautiful smile, her eyes darting around...
