Hearing the words of the girl before him, who looked exceptionally refined and delicate.
Meng Yiran raised an eyebrow and didn't press the matter further.
She was merely curious about Fu Qin; though she had a good first impression, it was far from being "him or no one." However, as she left, the look she gave Fu Qin held a bit of an indescribable meaning.
[Meng Yiran's Favorability +60, Current Favorability: 60 points]
Looking at the prompt that suddenly popped up on the system panel, Fu Qin's heart skipped a beat.
This favorability came out of nowhere, didn't it? He had just stood there without saying much; how did he gain such a high amount of favor?
Looking at Ning Rongrong beside him, she was puffing out her small chest like a protective hen guarding its food, staring intently at Meng Yiran's departing back with a face full of triumph.
[Ning Rongrong's Favorability +30, Current Favorability: 197 points]
Seeing Ning Rongrong's favorability, a faint smile played on the corners of Fu Qin's mouth.
197 points—not enough for now, but not far from three hundred.
The day he would spend a spring night with Ning Rongrong was already close at hand.
He reached out to ruffle Ning Rongrong's hair and comforted her in a low voice, "Alright, Little Sister Rongrong, we're still too young to talk about love and romance for now."
Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed red, and she instantly shed her prickly exterior, leaning obediently against him as she muttered softly.
"Then you're not allowed to look at other girls in the future."
"Alright," Fu Qin agreed with a smile, though he secretly thought to himself that this girl's possessiveness was truly strong.
Seeing this scene, Oscar couldn't help but feel quite a bit of admiration for Fu Qin.
After all, Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran were both top-tier beauties; for Fu Qin to remain unmoved was truly rare.
...
Time flew by, and it was soon afternoon.
Oscar was staring at the Winged Snake before him, its body covered in blue-black scales. A flash of resentment crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by resignation.
This fourteen-hundred-year-old Winged Snake was a substitute he had found based on his memories from his previous life.
Although its speed couldn't compare to the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake, its quality was certainly not low.
"Move!" Dai Mubai barked. His White Tiger Spirit instantly awakened, and with tiger claws glinting coldly, he lunged at the Winged Snake.
Ma Hongjun was not to be outdone either. His Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit ignited into a raging flame, turning into a streak of fire that pinned down the Winged Snake's movements.
With the combined efforts of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the thousand-year Winged Snake was quickly defeated.
As Oscar plunged a knife into the Winged Snake's seven-inch mark, a purple spirit ring slowly rose.
Seeing this, Oscar no longer hesitated and immediately sat cross-legged to begin absorbing the spirit ring.
Two hours later, Oscar slowly opened his eyes. The spirit power fluctuations around him surged abruptly; the third spirit ring had been successfully fused!
With a thought, a winged Sausage appeared in his hand, emitting faint energy fluctuations.
"Third Spirit Ability: I have a Mushroom Sausage!"
Oscar shouted out his Spirit incantation with an incredibly flamboyant air.
Although the flight speed wasn't as fast as the original, the flight duration had doubled, which was a blessing in disguise.
A satisfied smile appeared on Oscar's face. With this Spirit Ability, his survival capability had undoubtedly increased significantly.
However, the flash of ruthlessness in his eyes did not escape Fu Qin's notice.
This kid probably hadn't forgotten the grudge of having his spirit ring stolen.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if a giant beast were approaching.
From deep within the distant forest came a deafening roar. Trees collapsed one after another, dust filled the air, and a terrifying pressure swept toward everyone.
"Not good! A Spirit Beast of this level is definitely not something we can face!" Flender's expression changed drastically as he activated his Spirit without hesitation. "Zhao Wuji, we'll stop it!"
Zhao Wuji didn't dare to delay either. His Immovable Bright King Spirit instantly awakened, his muscles bulging as his skin became as hard as a rock, standing in front of everyone.
"If you want to pass, you'll have to get through me first!"
In the next second, a giant ape several dozen meters tall charged out from the depths of the forest. Covered in thick brown fur with a ferocious gaze, it was one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Titan Giant Ape!
It ignored Zhao Wuji's obstruction and sent the Immovable Bright King flying with a single swipe. Flender hurried forward to help, but he too was shaken by the Titan Giant Ape's aftershock, his blood churning and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone fled in terror, except for Xiao Wu, who stood rooted to the spot, her face pale.
She looked at the Titan Giant Ape, a flash of complex emotion in her eyes.
There was surprise and helplessness, but notably, no fear.
The Titan Giant Ape charged straight at Xiao Wu. Under everyone's terrified gazes, it grabbed her and turned to run back into the depths of the forest.
"Sister Xiao Wu!" Fu Qin's pupils constricted. Without time to think, his spirit power surged wildly, and two snowy-white Immortal Slaying Flying Daggers, engraved with runes, instantly appeared beneath his feet.
This was his soul-bound treasure, refined with great effort. It was incredibly fast and possessed immense power.
"You beast! Give Sister Xiao Wu back to me!" Fu Qin shouted. Stepping on the Immortal Slaying Flying Daggers, he turned into a streak of light and gave chase in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone.
His figure darted through the woods, moving so fast he was nothing but an afterimage, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.
Tang San stood there, watching Fu Qin's departing back, thinking to himself that things were bad.
He knew the Titan Giant Ape was Xiao Wu's younger brother and wouldn't hurt her, so he didn't chase as desperately as he had in his previous life.
But Fu Qin didn't know that! That was the Titan Giant Ape, whose strength was unfathomable. Even if Fu Qin didn't die, he would certainly be severely injured.
However, when he saw Fu Qin's back as he chased after her without hesitation to save Xiao Wu, the worry in his heart was replaced by a warm current.
Fu Qin was indeed his best brother; knowing the danger, he still threw himself into it to save Xiao Wu.
[Tang San's Favorability +50, Current Favorability: 149]
[Tang San's Inner Thoughts: Fu Qin is a good brother. In the future, I must definitely nurture him well!]
Held in the Titan Giant Ape's hand, Xiao Wu watched Fu Qin, who was chasing after her on his Immortal Slaying Flying Daggers regardless of the danger, and her eyes instantly grew moist.
Having returned from rebirth, she had seen too much hypocrisy and scheming. Tang San's coldness, Dai Mubai's obsession, and Oscar's ruthlessness had all left her disheartened.
But Fu Qin was different. He always appeared when she needed him most, protecting her with his actions. This deep affection made her fall for him completely.
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +100, Current Favorability: 600 points]
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +100, Current Favorability: 700 points]
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +100, Current Favorability: 800 points]
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +100, Current Favorability: 900 points]
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +100, Current Favorability: 1000 points]
[Xiao Wu's Inner Thoughts: Brother Fu Qin is indeed someone worthy of entrusting my life to.]
What did a maximum favorability of 1000 points represent? It meant that Xiao Wu had completely fallen in love with Fu Qin and was willing to give everything for him, even if it meant death!
Watching Fu Qin's figure get closer and closer, she secretly vowed that in this life, she would definitely protect this relationship and never let go again.
Meanwhile, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, who remained where they were, didn't have the slightest hint of gravity on their faces. Instead, they seemed to be watching the spectacle.
