Chapter 82:
Ah Yin gritted her teeth and suddenly released the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit from her hand.
A deep blue light shone in her palm, and a blue silver grass with golden patterns appeared.
At the same time, four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, appeared around her, and her soul power fluctuated at level forty-two.
The next moment, the blue silver grass in her hand grew wildly, transforming into several tough vines that wrapped around Su Mo.
However, Su Mo remained standing in the same spot without making any movement.
He let the blue silver grass wrap around his arms, waist, and legs.
The next moment, a powerful force burst forth, and the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Su Mo instantly shattered.
"You are no match for me."
Su Mo said calmly, without any threat or sarcasm in his tone, simply stating a fact.
Ah Yin bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled.
Her Spirit was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver Emperor, and ordinary soul masters could not easily break free from her control.
But the other party broke free so easily without even making a move.
She finally realized that she had no power to resist.
The gap was too big, so big that it made her despair.
Ah Yin resignedly put away her Spirit.
"I know I can't escape, so go ahead and do it."
She closed her eyes like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
She was filled with regret at that moment; if she had known this would happen, she would never have gone to that city.
However, the expected death did not occur.
Su Mo said calmly, "I am not interested in your soul rings and soul bones."
Ah Yin suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Su Mo in astonishment.
A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone were coveted treasures for any soul master.
It was enough to make people fight tooth and nail.
But the person in front of her didn't kill her and even said he wasn't interested in her soul rings and soul bones?
Could it be... that this Holy Son is really a great person?
Is he going to let her go just because he thinks she is pitiful?
Yes, he had previously slaughtered a notorious noble family in the city for the sake of those complete strangers.
Such a person was definitely different from those soul masters who would stop at nothing for profit.
Thinking of this, Ah Yin's tense body relaxed a little, and hope rekindled in her eyes.
She tentatively asked, "Then... Your Highness, may I leave now?"
"Of course not." Su Mo shook his head slightly.
Ah Yin's heart sank again.
She looked at Su Mo nervously, wondering what he was up to.
At that moment, Su Mo spoke up, "You will follow me from now on."
"Huh?" Ah Yin blinked. "Follow you?"
Su Mo nodded slightly. "It's too dangerous for you to run around outside alone. Come with me, and no one will dare to touch you in the future."
Ah Yin was stunned for a moment.
Is he... trying to protect her?
Ah Yin bit her lower lip and looked up at Su Mo.
Young, handsome, and with unfathomable strength.
Most importantly, he was kind-hearted and a great person.
Someone like that... wouldn't lie to her, right?
Ah Yin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "But... but I am a transformed soul beast. If I follow you and someone discovers me, it might cause you trouble."
"Trouble?" Su Mo chuckled lightly. "That's not something you should worry about."
In the past, Su Mo, due to his lack of strength, would think things through carefully and weigh the pros and cons before doing anything.
But now, he didn't need to think about these things at all.
With his current strength, he could do most of what he wanted without being timid or caring about anyone else's feelings.
This was also a principle that Su Mo had always believed in: only by being strong could one be truly strong. When you had enough strength, your words became the rules.
"Let's go."
Su Mo turned around and walked forward first.
He walked at a moderate pace, his back straight and upright.
Ah Yin stood there, watching Su Mo's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and a feeling she had never experienced before welled up in her heart.
Since taking human form, she had walked alone in the human world, always cautious and treading on thin ice, afraid that her true identity would be discovered.
But now, someone was not coveting her soul rings and soul bones, but was willing to protect her, saying, "Follow me, and no one will dare to touch you in the future."
At this moment, Ah Yin's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and she jogged after him.
"Um... Your Highness, my name is Ah Yin. I don't know your name yet."
Ah Yin followed half a step behind Su Mo, cautiously turning her head to ask.
"No need to be so formal." Su Mo smiled at her. "My name is Su Mo. You don't need to call me Your Highness. Just call me by my name."
"Okay, Su... Su Mo," Ah Yin tried calling out.
Just then, Ah Yin's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the tranquil mountain forest.
"Are you hungry?" Su Mo asked.
Ah Yin's cheeks instantly flushed red. She lowered her head shyly and softly hummed in agreement.
She had been running around for most of the day without eating anything.
Before she took human form, she was rooted in the earth and only needed to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
Now that she had taken human form, although she still carried the aura of a soul beast, her body was almost indistinguishable from that of a human, so she naturally needed to eat like a human to fill her stomach.
Su Mo stopped and didn't say much, but quietly released his powerful spiritual energy.
An invisible spiritual force spread outward like a tide, perceiving every rustle of grass and the slightest movement in the surroundings.
After a moment, Su Mo said, "You wait here."
The next moment, his figure disappeared silently from the spot, leaving only a gentle breeze brushing against Ah Yin's cheek.
In just a few breaths, Su Mo's figure reappeared in front of Ah Yin.
At that moment, Su Mo was holding two soft-boned rabbits in his hands, their long ears gripped firmly, and they were still gently kicking their legs.
Their age was very low, only around ten years. After all, this was not the Soul Hunting Forest.
Before long, the two arrived at a clear stream.
Su Mo squatted by the stream and deftly skinned, gutted, and cleaned the two soft-boned rabbits.
Ah Yin squatted to the side, resting her chin on her hands, quietly watching Su Mo.
She never expected that the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, with such a noble status, would be so skilled at doing these things.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
A moment later, Su Mo started a fire, skewered the soft-boned rabbit with sharpened branches, and slowly roasted it over the fire.
Ah Yin sat by the fire, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking the question that had been bothering her:
"Su Mo, are you already a Soul Douluo?"
Su Mo turned the roasted rabbit in his hand and shook his head slightly. "No."
He paused, then added, "But it will be soon."
Ah Yin opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
How could someone who hadn't even reached the Soul Douluo level see through her identity at a glance?
The two then chatted idly for a while.
Ah Yin asked all sorts of questions, full of curiosity about everything about Su Mo. Su Mo responded half-heartedly, sometimes answering questions, sometimes just nodding slightly.
The rabbit was roasted until its skin was golden brown and crispy.
Su Mo casually sprinkled some spices on the roasted rabbit.
He handed one of the skewers to Ah Yin. "Eat it."
"Thanks."
Ah Yin took it with both hands, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and then took a small bite.
The next moment, her eyes lit up instantly.
"It's so delicious." She couldn't help but take another bite. "This is the first time I've ever eaten roasted soft-boned rabbit. Su Mo, your cooking skills are amazing."
In the vast Soul Hunting Forest, Blue Silver Grass had always been the food of the Soft Bone Rabbit.
But now, it was reversed.
As the Blue Silver Emperor, she was sitting by the fire, happily munching on a Soft Bone Rabbit.
This feeling seemed pretty good.
She could be said to have vented her anger on behalf of her people.
