Perceiving this scene, Luo Ye raised his eyebrows, a smile appearing in his eyes.
'So, did Meng Yiran also get a diary copy, or is this a coincidence?'
Regardless of the situation, it didn't affect Luo Ye's next move. He first wrote in his notebook:
[This Soul Hunting operation is a day earlier than in my previous life, yet I still encountered Meng Yiran and them. Was Meng Yiran in the Star Dou Great Forest today in my previous life?]
[But this is good. In my previous life, I had a pretty good relationship with Meng Yiran, so I'll give her a gift and give her the Soul Ring of this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.]
[After all, if I don't intervene, this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent will still be hard-pressed to escape death and might even end up benefiting Oscar.]
Seeing this, the three girls, Zhu Zhuqing and the others, exchanged subtle glances. They all felt that Meng Yiran was highly likely to be a diary copy owner.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Fortunately, Meng Yiran arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest a day early wasn't a big problem and didn't make Luo Ye notice anything unusual.
Meng Yiran, who was chasing the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, was delighted. She couldn't help but feel a hint of gratitude towards Oscar and the others.
If they hadn't ostracized and targeted Luo Ye, this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent might not have become her Soul Ring.
But now that Luo Ye was planning to help, her Soul Ring was secured.
When the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent arrived not far in front of Luo Ye and the other three, Luo Ye didn't hesitate. A light flashed in his eyes, and he directly launched a Soul Impact.
The terrifying mental power left the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent with no ability to resist. Its body went limp, it immediately lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground in a coma.
Three breaths later, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny also arrived with Meng Yiran.
Looking at the unconscious Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent on the ground, Dragon Duke was a little surprised. He subconsciously looked at Luo Ye and the other three, pointed at the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent on the ground, and asked:
"Young friend, did you do this?"
Luo Ye deliberately glanced at Meng Yiran, then nodded and said:
"That's right."
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny exchanged glances and found that the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was only unconscious and had not lost its life signs.
This meant that Meng Yiran still had a chance to obtain the Soul Ring it produced.
Thinking of this, Dragon Duke squeezed out a slightly stiff smile on his old face and said:
"Young friend, I wonder if we could discuss letting us have this Soul Beasts? If you are willing, I can offer you some compensation."
Luo Ye smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"No need for compensation. We didn't need this Soul Beasts anyway, so we'll just give it to you."
Seeing Luo Ye agree so readily, Dragon Duke was filled with surprise. He felt even more strongly that this young man was highly likely to be a descendant of some prominent family.
Having the courage to bring three young girls to the Star Dou Great Forest and giving away a thousand-year-old Soul Beasts without batting an eye – his demeanor was extraordinary.
After thinking of this possibility, the smiles on Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's faces became more sincere.
Meng Yiran, on the other hand, puffed out her chest, a hint of pride showing on her face.
'Grandpa and Grandma probably won't guess that the reason Luo Ye is giving them this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent is actually because of me.'
'After all, Luo Ye himself said that in his previous life, I was also a friend with a good relationship with him.'
Snake Granny didn't know what Meng Yiran was thinking. She nudged her arm and said:
"Yiran, hurry up and thank this young friend."
Meng Yiran smiled brightly at Luo Ye and said:
"Thank you. Then I'll absorb the Soul Ring first."
Saying that, she raised the snake-headed cane in her hand, intending to kill the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.
However, at this moment, an arrow shot out, its target precisely the cane in her hand.
Swish!
Hearing the sound of the air being torn, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's eyes narrowed. They immediately struck out and shattered the arrow.
Although the arrow didn't succeed, Meng Yiran still stopped. She looked towards the direction the arrow came from with a face full of anger.
Luo Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of amusement. He had already sensed that this arrow was the hidden weapon shot by Tang San.
The next second, Zhao Wuji arrived in this area with Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
Seeing that the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was still alive, Zhao Wuji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, after narrowing his eyes and sweeping a glance at Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, he said in a deep voice to Dragon Duke and Snake Granny:
"This Soul Beasts is ours."
Because she was almost hit by the hidden weapon, Meng Yiran was full of anger. Hearing that he also wanted to snatch her Soul Ring, she was even more furious and said:
"What do you mean it's yours? What kind of things are you?"
Seeing a beautiful girl, Ma Hongjun's lecherous nature was released again. His small eyes curved into slits as he looked at Meng Yiran and chuckled:
"We chased this beast for a long time, so of course it's ours."
Dragon Duke now only wanted Meng Yiran to finish absorbing the Soul Ring, and then settle accounts with Zhao Wuji and the others. So, he suppressed his anger and snorted coldly:
"This Soul Beasts was stunned by this young friend. He also agreed to give it to us. It has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji glanced at Luo Ye. His depressed mood was swept away, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then this Soul Beasts is even less likely to be given to you."
"Because, Luo Ye is a student of our Shrek!"
Zhao Wuji was very proud. His eyes looking at Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were full of Banter, and even Tang San and Oscar breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what they didn't expect was that the words Luo Ye said next directly slapped them in the face.
"Teacher Zhao, it is true that I am a student of Shrek, but this Soul Beasts, I will not give to Oscar."
As Luo Ye's words fell, Zhao Wuji's laughter stopped abruptly, and the scene instantly fell into an extremely strange silence.
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were a little surprised. They originally thought there would be unexpected complications, but it seemed that Luo Ye was at odds with the people from that Shrek?
Doesn't this mean that the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's Soul Ring still belongs to Meng Yiran?
Is there such a good thing?
The smile on Zhao Wuji's face froze, and his expression instantly became very ugly. He looked at Luo Ye with a face full of indignation and said in a deep voice:
"Luo Ye, what did you say? Think about what I told you yesterday, think clearly before answering me about the ownership of this Soul Beasts!"
The threat in Zhao Wuji's words was very obvious. It implied that if Luo Ye still wanted to give the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent to Meng Yiran, he would be held accountable.
It was a pity that Luo Ye came to the Star Dou Great Forest specifically to disrupt Oscar's Soul Hunting operation. Now that things had developed to this point, it was even more impossible for him to back down.
Facing Zhao Wuji's threat, Luo Ye said without backing down:
"No need to think. Even if I kill this Soul Beasts myself and waste the Soul Ring it produces, it's impossible to give it to Oscar!"
