When he saw that Ye Qiu's face had some bloodstains, he stepped forward and reached out to touch his little face.

Ye Qiu blushed as the girl touched him like that. Just as he was about to push her hand away, Zhu Zhuqing hugged him again.

She wrapped her arms around his back, leaned on his shoulder, and her warm voice reached Ye Qiu's ears, "Ye Qiu, thank you!"

Her lips parted slightly, about to touch his face.

"It's nothing, we're just helping each other out..." Ye Qiu gently patted her back; this was just what they had agreed on at the beginning.

'Is that all?' Ye Qiu's words made Zhu Zhuqing stop what she was doing. She gritted her teeth, her expression turned cold again, and she pushed him away abruptly.

Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, not noticing any change in her expression. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I feel great!" She turned her head to the side, even though she shouldn't care about such things.

"By the way, how did you fare?" Ye Qiu was still quite curious about how much her soul power had increased.

Mentioning this, her cold expression softened considerably; the sacrifice of the two-thousand-year-old soul beast had indeed benefited her greatly.

"Soul power has reached level 24, and the second soul skill is called Shadow Hundred Kills! Just as you expected, it has a poisonous attribute." Summoning her martial soul, a pair of cat ears appeared on her head, and her chest seemed to have swelled up considerably.

According to her, her second soul skill, Shadow Hundred Kills, not only increases piercing power by 50% and allows for continuous attacks without limit, but the venom on her claws is also corrosive. Once someone is injured and comes into contact with her venom, their flesh and soul power will be continuously corroded.

"Very powerful!" Ye Qiu felt that this move was much more powerful than her original Netherworld Hundred Claws.

"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. This was the second soul ring in a thousand years!

Ye Qiu approached the dead Shadow Spider and activated his Sharingan to slowly search it.

"What are you looking for?"

"We're looking for the soul bone."

"A soul bone?" Zhu Zhuqing was astonished.

"Hey! Found it!" Ye Qiu leaped up, activated his Xuan Yu Hand, and directly tore off the dark soul bone.

Zhu Zhuqing also leaned over, looking at the soul bone in Ye Qiu's hand, "Really?"

"Yes, soul beasts that voluntarily sacrifice themselves can produce soul bones, although it's a forced sacrifice..." Ye Qiu explained with a smile, not expecting... this was another external soul bone!

"Is that so? But this soul bone looks really strange. Which part of the body is it from?" Zhu Zhuqing wondered, seeing that the soul bone in his hand looked like a spider specimen.

"This is an external soul bone! It's even rarer and more precious than a 100,000-year soul bone because it can evolve as the soul master grows! It's even possible for it to surpass a 100,000-year soul bone!" Ye Qiu explained patiently.

"What! A soul bone that can evolve?" Zhu Zhuqing had never heard of such a thing before. Her eyes lit up with longing, but she quickly looked away. "Ye Qiu, you should absorb it quickly!"

He stood there for a while, considering it, and finally shook his head.

"No, I'll give it to you!" Ye Qiu still didn't intend to absorb it and placed it in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"What do you mean by this? I don't want it!" Zhu Zhuqing immediately tried to shove the things back at him; she had already gained enough! Without Ye Qiu, she would be dead... She dared not ask for anything more.

Chapter 40 Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger

Ye Qiu grabbed the hand she offered, "Take it, I'm not giving it to you for free! Besides, with my abilities, would I lack soul bones?"

Something better will come sooner or later!

"What do you mean?"

"Do me a favor, and this will be your reward. Besides, you absorbed its spirit ring, so you're clearly a better match for it!"

"Do me a favor? What is it!" Since Ye Qiu didn't want it, she didn't hesitate and decided to accept it. He had such a freakish ability, so he certainly wouldn't lack it.

"Help me get the spirit ring first, then I'll tell you..." Ye Qiu stroked his chin. In his opinion, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely go to Soto City in the future. Giving her the external spirit bone would be like finding a personal bodyguard for Xiao Wu!

"Go and absorb it first. Maybe it can even raise the age of my soul ring!" Ye Qiu wanted to see how much this soul bone could increase her strength. If possible, it could also appropriately raise the age of the three-thousand-year soul beast she had originally planned for!

"Hmm, I'll absorb it now..." Looking at Ye Qiu, who seemed a bit rambling, Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what he wanted her to do, but she was quite satisfied with this soul bone, since it was an external soul bone!

She sat down cross-legged again and began absorbing the soul bone. The external soul bone floated up and slowly disappeared into her spine...

Little by little, it's embedded into the flesh...

"Ahhh!" The excruciating pain made her scream, cold sweat pouring down her body.

A jet-black spider leg stretched out from behind her, followed by a second, a third...

"Ah!" After a high-pitched cry, the last eight spider legs emerged, supporting Zhu Zhuqing's entire body.

"Has it been absorbed yet?" Ye Qiu looked up at her, but unexpectedly she ran towards him. "Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to poke me to death?"

Before he could even step forward, a spider spear came straight at him. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been stabbed right through the heart!

"I...I'm sorry! I can't control it right now..." Zhu Zhuqing was also very uncomfortable suspended in the air, and stumbled around.

"Don't be nervous...take a deep breath!" Ye Qiu quickly used his Divine Might to become ethereal, standing still and guiding the others, "It's a part of you, slowly feel its presence..."

"Ah~" came her exclamations.

After poking around wildly inside the cave, she finally calmed down, her whole body covered in sweat.

With a hiss, she put away the eight spider spears, and almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Fortunately, Ye Qiu was there to support her.

"It seems you still need some time to adjust." He picked her up again.

"Okay, just wait a few days!" Zhu Zhuqing said, leaning against him, still slightly out of breath.

A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu led her into the Divine Might Space...

……

Three days later at noon, in a small valley, from a distance, it looked as if a thin spider was constantly moving among the wolf pack.

Under a tree beside the valley, Ye Qiu rode the Wolf King, munching on wolf meat, leisurely watching Zhu Zhuqing's performance.

A figure with eight spider legs on its back jumped towards Ye Qiu.

With a hiss, the spider's legs pierced into the tree, leaving Zhu Zhuqing suspended in mid-air, facing Ye Qiu.

His eyes were full of confidence and joy. "Ye Qiu, I've almost mastered the Shadow Spider Spear!"

The Shadow Spider Spear was a name Zhu Zhuqing gave herself. After absorbing it, her soul power broke through again, reaching level 25. However, with the amplification of the Shadow Spider Spear, her speed and attack power have been greatly improved.

She felt that she could defeat her heartless sister if she faced her alone at this moment!

"Then congratulations!" Just as Ye Qiu had expected, the quality was a bit inferior to Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, but it was still pretty good!

When will we set off to hunt souls for you?

"Let's wait until you recover your soul power!" Ye Qiu patted his mount.

"Awoo~" the wolf king howled, and a female wolf ran over from a distance.

Ye Qiu looked up and said, "Zhu Zhuqing! Come down quickly, why are you hanging in the tree? My neck is getting sore!"

"Hehe..." He chuckled lightly, retracted the spider spears behind him, and landed on the mother wolf's back. "Where to?"

"Let's head towards the target area first. At this pace, you should be almost fully recovered by then!" The two rode their wolves side by side, slowly making their way into the distance.

"Ye Qiu!"

"what?"

"Just call me Zhuqing from now on... if you consider me a friend!" A breeze ruffled her hair, and her dark eyes glanced at Ye Qiu beside her out of the corner of her eye.

"Friends? No problem!" Ye Qiu nodded; it was just a form of address.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing his response, Zhu Zhuqing stared straight ahead, remaining silent, only feeling the gentle warmth of the wind blowing towards her.

These past two weeks have been the most enjoyable time she's ever had!

……

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had been fully restored. After sending the two wolves back, Ye Qiu led her to the outside of a cave.

Inside was his new target, a nearly four-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger!

"Roar..." A series of soft roars came from inside the cave.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you wait here!" Ye Qiu's Sharingan flashed; he was going to go in first and lure it out!

"Call me Zhu Qing!" He frowned slightly; this guy...

Her voice made Ye Qiu pause in his steps, turn around and reply, "Okay, Zhu Qing! Uh... I'll be more careful next time!"

Before leaving, she reminded him, "By the way, the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger is enormous. Once it comes out, lure it into the forest; it won't be able to maneuver properly there..."

"I understand!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded in satisfaction, unsure whether it was because of Ye Qiu's reminder or his way of addressing her...

They watched as Ye Qiu walked into the cave, not knowing what he did.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a violent roar rolled out from the cave, echoing hundreds of meters away.

Ye Qiu ran out quickly, followed by a white tiger that was five meters long and had a thick body.

It has a "king" character pattern on its forehead, its eyes are emerald green, it has transparent wings on its back for low-altitude gliding, and it trails a three-meter-long tail behind it.

'This thing is so fast!' Ye Qiu was about to lead it into the forest according to plan.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar echoed in his mind, and Ye Qiu felt a little dazed, his escape movements freezing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger glided down from a height of four meters and slammed one of its paws heavily onto Ye Qiu's head!
