...
Until the very end, Tang Yuehua collapsed limply into Luo Nan's arms, unable to move even a single finger.
The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Moon Pavilion's top-floor office, spilling onto the soft carpet and bringing a trace of warmth to the room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Tang Yuehua woke up from her sleep, and feeling the faint yet truly existing fluctuations of Soul Power inside her body, her eyes flashed with undisguised excitement and ecstasy.
Level Ten!
The Spirit shackles that had plagued her for decades, which even the Clear Sky Sect had exhausted the strength of the entire sect to break, had actually been resolved by Luo Nan with a single Immortal Plant!
Right now, she could finally absorb a spirit ring, Cultivate, and pursue that once out-of-reach Realm just like a normal Spirit Master!
Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua turned her head and looked at Luo Nan, who was still sleeping soundly beside her.
Although this man was overbearing, shameless, and lewd, he had truly accomplished what the Clear Sky Sect could not.
Tang Yuehua bit her red lips, a flash of complex emotions crossing her eyes.
She knew what she needed most right now.
"Luo Nan..."
Tang Yuehua called out softly, stretching out her slender fingers to gently draw circles on Luo Nan's chest.
Luo Nan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the woman before him who exuded an alluring aura like a fully ripened peach.
"What? Master Tang is awake so early? Are you unable to wait to fulfill our wager once again?"
Two flushes of red instantly flew across Tang Yuehua's cheeks, and she gave Luo Nan a coy, reproachful roll of her eyes, yet she did not refute him as she usually would.
"Luo Nan, can you... can you help me get a spirit ring?"
Tang Yuehua's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, carrying a hint of entreaty.
"I am already at Level Ten now; as long as I absorb a spirit ring, I can become a true Spirit Master."
"Help you get a spirit ring?"
Luo Nan raised his eyebrows and said with feigned difficulty,
"This is not an easy task. The Star Dou Great Forest is so dangerous, and I value my life very much."
"Besides, on what grounds should I help you?"
Tang Yuehua knew that Luo Nan was intentionally making things difficult for her, but she was currently asking a favor of him and could only suppress the shyness in her heart.
Gritting her teeth, she made a bold move.
She slowly lowered her head, extending that pair of flawless jade hands resembling suet jade, and fondled one of Luo Nan's instruments.
"Hiss—"
Luo Nan drew in a sharp breath of cold air, a raging wicked fire instantly igniting in his eyes.
He never expected that the usually noble, elegant, and arrogant Moon Pavilion Master would actively make such a move for a spirit ring.
"You... you are playing with fire." Luo Nan's voice became somewhat hoarse.
Tang Yuehua raised her head, her watery eyes filled with Charm and entreaty:
"As long as you help me get a spirit ring, I... I will promise you anything."
"Good! You said it yourself!"
Luo Nan laughed out loud and pulled Tang Yuehua into his arms with a single grab.
That morning, Luo Nan took Tang Yuehua and left Heaven Dou City, heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
With Luo Nan's current cultivation of level ninety, coupled with the augmentation of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, he could practically walk sideways unhindered in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In less than half a day, he found a light-attribute Spirit Beast that was over four hundred years old in the outer region, the Bright Spirit Deer.
The attributes of this Bright Spirit Deer matched Tang Yuehua's Ruyi Ring Spirit extremely well, and its age happened to reach the limit for a first spirit ring.
Luo Nan effortlessly beat the Bright Spirit Deer into serious injury, then allowed Tang Yuehua to complete the final kill.
The process of absorbing the spirit ring was extremely smooth.
The moment that ring of yellow century-old spirit ring settled over Tang Yuehua, the Soul Power within her surged out like a breached embankment.
Level eleven... level twelve... level thirteen... level fourteen... level fifteen!
Under the dual effect of the Immortal Plant's residual medicinal power and the spirit ring, Tang Yuehua's Soul Power actually soared to level fifteen in one breath!
Feeling the abundant Soul Power within her, Tang Yuehua was so excited that hot tears filled her eyes.
She tried circulating her Soul Power and discovered that she could truly Cultivate just like an ordinary Spirit Master!
"I... I have finally become a Spirit Master!"
Tang Yuehua threw herself into Luo Nan's arms, weeping tears of joy.
Looking at Tang Yuehua's appearance of excitement like a child, a trace of gentleness also flashed in Luo Nan's eyes.
That evening, after returning to the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua completely cast aside the arrogance and reservation of a Pavilion Master in order to express her gratitude.
Tang Yuehua displayed her musical instrument attainments, telling Luo Nan that her mastery of musical instruments was extremely high.
Luo Nan was quite intoxicated; clearly, when Tang Yuehua played using her instruments, it allowed him to be extremely relaxed and comfortable.
In fact, Luo Nan was also a chef, and what he brought out tonight was a beverage, which was coconut juice mixed with coconut meat.
To thank Tang Yuehua for her performance tonight, Luo Nan invited her to drink this cup of coconut juice.
Tang Yuehua gladly drank it down.
...
In the following days, Tang Yuehua immersed herself in the joy of being able to Cultivate, diligently meditating every day.
As for Luo Nan, he began to ponder his subsequent Cultivation plan.
He was already at level ninety now; then, what Spirit Beast should he choose for his ninth spirit ring?
In Luo Nan's mind, the two hundred-thousand-year overlords ruling the entire forest in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest instantly surfaced: the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape!
"The Sky Azure Bull Python possesses an extremely rare Slowing Domain and Sky Azure Slowing Divine Light, and its physical body is formidable with terrifying strength."
"If I can use it as my ninth spirit ring, my strength will definitely undergo earth-shattering changes!" Luo Nan calculated secretly in his heart.
However, wanting to hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python was simply more difficult than ascending to heaven.
Luo Nan estimated that he was currently at level ninety, but relying on a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-thousand-year right arm bone, coupled with the Bloodline suppression of the Light Sacred Dragon, facing Tang Xiao, a level ninety-six Super Douluo, he should have a huge chance of winning.
However, the combat power of the Sky Azure Bull Python was definitely more than level ninety-six!
It was the absolute overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, and its strength was estimated to be even a fraction stronger than a level ninety-seven Super Douluo!
What was even more fatal was that these two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, lived together.
They were as close as brothers; once a war broke out, it would inevitably be a joint effort by two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
Luo Nan was currently all alone without any helpers.
Wanting to simultaneously face the siege of two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest and successfully kill the Sky Azure Bull Python was simply a fairy tale.
"I must find a way to further enhance my strength, or... add some trump cards." Luo Nan furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
"Wait! How could I have forgotten that thing!" Luo Nan abruptly slapped his thigh, his eyes flashing with a gleam of excitement.
