--- Chapter 21 ---

Yunlong and Bibi Dongxue hugged each other for a good few minutes, but these few minutes feel like a very long time as both of them are enjoying this moment.

"Thanks, Yunlong..." Bibi Dongxue whispered with a bright smile on her face.

"Mother is feeling a lot better now." She added as Yunlong nodded his head.

"It's okay... The anxiety should have piled up in your heart, and I only helped you to release it." Yunlong responded with a smile on his face.

"Well, you should relax more, though." He added, which makes Bibi Dongxue softly giggled.

"Should we go back?" He asked, to which Bibi Dongxue responded with a shake of her head.

"No, let's me hug you for a few more minutes." Bibi Dongxue replied as she hugged him into her soft bosom.

'Not gonna lie, I agreed.' Yunlong honestly thought while feeling the softness of Bibi Dongxue's bosom pressing his face.

As they hugged each other, they can sense someone is watching them, and that was Chu Xiaoyu, who is hiding in the bush.

'Xiaoyu, your presence!' Yunlong thought with a weak smile on his face as Chu Xiaoyu's presence can be easily noticed from the bushes.

"She still needs a lot of practice.' Bibi Dongxue thought while shaking her head.

Yunlong and Bibi Dongxue then stop their hugging as they walked toward the bush, making the maid panic.

"Xiaoyu." Bibi Dongxue said while staring at the bush.

"Yes, teacher." Chu Xiaoyu replied as she lifted her body from the bush and showing herself to them.

"Next time, hide your presence more if you want to spy on someone." Bibi Dongxue stated before released a sigh.

"But, never spy on us again." She added while staring at her disciple.

"I understand." Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head, which makes Yunlong letting out a small chuckle.

'She looks like a scared kitten.' Yunlong commented before wryly shaking his head.

'At least, I can feel her mood become better.' He added in his heart while shifting his gaze at Bibi Dongxue.

They then back to the resting place as Chu Yunxi is waiting for them with a troubled expression.

"Misstress." Chu Yunxi said while staring at Bibi Dongxue.

"It's fine. Let's move on." Bibi Dongxue responded, which makes Chu Yunxi released a sigh of relief.

Four of them then continued their way to the appointed place and encountered a few spirit beasts in their path, but these spirit beasts are not powerful as they ran away when they sensed pressure from Bibi Dongxue.

After walking forward for one hour, they did not encounter any spirit beast, which is weird because they met a lot of spirit beast earlier.

"Weird... This area is too quiet." Yunlong said with a frown, but he doesn't see any problem in his system map.

*Roar!* *Roar!*

Two mighty roars suddenly echoed in the area, which makes Bibi Dongxue tilted her head before saying, "We entered a territory of a spirit beast, and something is happening, most likely a territorial fight between two spirit beasts.

"Territorial fight," Yunlong muttered while looking at the two opposing entities in the corner of his system map.

"Wait, this is why we encountered a spirit beast horde earlier." He added while shifting his gaze to Bibi Dongxue.

"Well, you're probably right, but we should check it first." Bibi Dongxue nodded her head as she also already guessed what happened in this place.

"Do you want to check it, Yunlong?" She asked her son, who is staring at his system while pondering about something.

'If this territorial fight is a death fight, one of them should be dead, and the other is survive.' Yunlong thought while shifting his gaze to his mother.

'Hmm, Maybe I could...' He added in his heart before saying, "Let's check it."

"Xiaoyu, Yunxi, stay behind me from now on." Bibi Dongxue instructed the two maids, who nodded their heads before they followed her and Yunlong toward the territorial fight.

As they arrived, they could see two spirit beasts intensely fighting with each other.

"Ohh, Vajra Ape and Demonic Purple Spider." Bibi Dongxue said while looking at the two beasts in front of her.

*Roar!*

The vajra ape roared toward the demonic purple spider.

A ten-foot-tall, muscular ape with white fur is standing on the ground, one of its legs is limping, but a fighting spirit is burning in its eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a giant spider with a black jet body and purple hides around its body, but we could see that two of the spider legs were gone.

The spider is hatefully stared at the vajra ape before shooting thins threads from its body.

*Roar!*

The vajra ape blast roared as the thin threads bound its body.

Even though the threads look very thin, it's very durable, and we could see it didn't break when the vajra ape tried to break it forcibly.

[Name: Vajra Ape]

[Species: Spirit beast]

[Age: 8.000 years old]

[Special Ability: Vajra Body, Burst Strike]

[Name: Demonic Purple Spider]

[Species: Spirit beast]

[Age: 6.900 years old]

[Special Ability: Cutting Phantom Threads, Purple Blood Poison]

"It's over. The vajra ape will lose." Bibi Dongxue commented while staring at the fight.

"The demonic purple spider's poison already entered its body, and from the roar we heard earlier... I'm pretty sure the poison already corrode its legs." She added as the vajra ape's legs shaking.

"Is that so," Yunlong commented while looking at the vajra ape's eyes, burning with fighting spirit and anger.

"The ape is still not dead, though." He added while pointing at the vajra ape.

*Roar!*

The vajra ape suddenly roared to the skies as a powerful burst come out from its body.

*Boom!*

The threads got destroyed by the explosion as the vajra ape appeared in front of the demonic purple spider.

*Roar!*

The vajra ape roared toward its enemy before released another burst from its body.

"It's a suicide attack, which is the vajra ape's last attack to kill its enemy," Yunlong said while staring at the vajra ape.

*BOOM!*

A cloud of dust is flying in the area as the demonic purple spider lying in the middle of a crater as the explosion is almost killed him.

Even though the demonic purple spider was alive, the injured on its body puts the spider on the verge of death.

"Well, it's time..." Yunlong using his shadow flash steps, and appeared above the demonic purple spider.

He raised his right hand to the air as his golden-threaded handkerchief grow into the size of a blanket.

Yunlong clenched his right hand as the handkerchief twisted into a lance with a black lustre.

"Fall..." He said as he dropped his hand, and the lance fell directly at the demonic purple spider's head.

*Puchi!*

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have gained Demonic Purple Spider's spiritual energy pieces]

[You have gained Demonic Purple Spider's soul energy pieces]

[You have gained Purple Blood Poison]

"Poison..." Yunlong muttered as his body suddenly feels weak.

He is suddenly kneeling in the ground as purple blood comes out from his mouth.

[You have become poisoned]

[You have become poisoned]

[You have...]

"I know... You don't have to tell me that. I can feel it." Yunlong muttered with a grimace.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Aroused]

[You have become poisoned]

[You have gained poison imunity]

"Hmm? Gluttony is helping me?" Yunlong said as he feels the purple poison blood didn't affect him again.

"Let's think about that later. I need to absorb this spirit ring first..." He muttered while glancing at the purple spirit ring above the spider's head.

Yunlong is sitting cross-legged as his handkerchief turned into its original form and flew in front of him.

The purple spirit ring is flying toward his handkerchief as he starts to absorb the spirit ring from the demonic purple spider.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

'Uh, Thanks? I guess?' Yunlong thought with a weak smile on his face as he can feel the spirit ring have been absorbed into his martial soul.

"Yunlong, are you okay?!" Bibi Dongxue asked while coming to his side.

"I'm okay... It's just poison, and I already solve it." Yunlong replied while smiling at her.

Bibi Dongxue frowned as she grasped her son's hand and checked his condition.

'He's okay.' Bibi Dongxue thought as she released a sigh of relief.

'His spirit rank is... Level 29!' She added in her heart with a shocked expression.

'I guess I can't gain Vajra Ape's skills, huh.' Yunlong thought while looking around the crater and found a shiny object.

'Is that a... Spirit bone?!' He added while staring at the shiny object.
