"Human! Let me go!"
The Spider Queen never thought in her life that one day she would be tied up by a human, and in such a shameful posture.
Bibi Dong came to Huo Yuhao's side, her eyes disdainful: "Your binding technique is quite skilled."
At this time, Huo Yuhao had already used Spiritual Link and could clearly perceive the Spider Queen's emotional changes.
The Man-Faced Demon Spider was one of the few species among soul beasts with a naturally cruel nature. Even if they possessed wisdom equal to humans, it was impossible to change their vicious nature.
In just the few minutes Huo Yuhao connected to her consciousness, he saw hundreds of ways to torture and kill the two of them in her mind.
Thinking is one thing, whether one can do it is another. Now the Spider Queen was full of apprehension towards the human in front of her. Judging from perception alone, the opponent wasn't even a Titled Douluo, yet handling her was as simple as slaughtering a chicken.
What is this situation?
"There really is a hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider?" Xiong Jun also jumped out at this time, looking at the bound Spider Queen with astonishment on his big face.
"Xiong Jun?"
Seeing Xiong Jun appear, the Spider Queen seemed to understand something, and immediately cursed: "Xiong Jun, you actually joined hands with that insidious Demon Tree King to harm this old lady?"
"What harm you? This is an opportunity for you." Xiong Jun curled his lips. He even wanted to become Huo Yuhao's symbiotic Soul Spirit, but the current Huo Yuhao no longer needed his power.
"Opportunity? Turning this old lady into a soul ring for a human soul master, you actually call this an opportunity?" The Spider Queen immediately shouted abuse.
Xiong Jun was too lazy to explain to her. If not for Huo Yuhao needing this guy, he wanted to turn the Spider Queen into his food right now.
A hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider that even the King of Fierce Beasts didn't know about, god knows how many soul beasts of other races she had cruelly killed.
Just like the Emerald Demon Bird back then, wasn't it exterminated by the Dragon Clan because its nature was too brutal?
"This guy has cruelly devoured at least ten thousand of her own clansmen." Huo Yuhao obtained the Spider Queen's memory and couldn't help laughing.
However, precisely because of this, this hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider King was second to none among soul beasts in terms of ability and toxicity.
"You really want to sign a contract with this guy?" Xiong Jun suppressed the thought of slapping this guy to death and asked hesitantly.
In Xiong Jun's view, it wasn't easy to successfully pull out this elusive hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider this time. If she was allowed to sign a Soul Spirit Symbiosis Contract with Huo Yuhao's person, then he would have no possibility of acting against the Spider Queen anymore.
Huo Yuhao naturally understood Xiong Jun's thoughts. If this Spider Queen was left alone, a hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider could easily destroy the ecological balance of the Star Dou Great Forest. This kind of soul beast was born for slaughter, with a brutal and vicious nature.
"If your woman rashly signs a contract with this guy, she might be affected by its personality. You have to think clearly." Xiong Jun didn't forget to remind.
"Can't I use spiritual power to twist its will?" Huo Yuhao remembered that he still had the fourth soul skill named Kotoamatsukami, Will Distortion.
"Twist will?" Xiong Jun didn't know much about the vast majority of Huo Yuhao's abilities, but was still severely shocked by this move. However, he still shook his head honestly, "You might be able to sign a contract with it, but your woman probably can't."
"Who are you looking down on?" Bibi Dong was mocked in public, and her pretty face changed slightly.
Huo Yuhao took a deep look at her, then turned his attention back to the Spider Queen bound by him.
Unknown why, the Man-Faced Demon Spiders encountered these few times gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen them somewhere.
"Human, let me go, or this old lady won't let you have the soul ring cheap even if I self-destruct!" The Spider Queen was still struggling desperately. However, whenever it circulated soul power, the World Tree absorbed the soul power it raised completely.
In front of the current Huo Yuhao, it actually didn't even have the qualification to self-destruct.
"Yuhao, I can do it, believe me." Bibi Dong pulled the corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes. She knew the latter was worried about her, but she didn't want to be a useless flower vase no matter what.
"But..." Huo Yuhao stopped talking. Looking at the youthful and beautiful person in front of him, he really couldn't bear to let her turn back into the domineering and fierce Empress of the past.
Bibi Dong spoke no more, just staring straight into his eyes, seeming to convey some emotion.
"Okay."
Seeing her insistence, Huo Yuhao didn't stop her anymore. Turning his gaze to the Spider Queen, brilliance flowed in his right eye, as if a flock of birds flew past.
Fourth Soul Skill, Will Distortion, also known as, Kotoamatsukami!
How could the Spider Queen withstand God King realm spiritual power? Even if the Man-Faced Demon Spider clan possessed a concealment skill to shield soul masters' spiritual detection after reaching ten thousand years of strength, that was ultimately just a normal situation.
Hit by this spiritual fluctuation, the Spider Queen's head tilted back violently, and her consciousness became blank—
"Done." Huo Yuhao closed his right eye. Even though he had reached the God King spiritual realm, the cooldown time of this divine skill still existed, only now it had shortened to three days.
Bibi Dong nodded to him, then walked slowly towards the Spider Queen. Electrolux also floated up from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea at this time, preparing the Soul Spirit Symbiosis Contract ritual for Bibi Dong and the Spider Queen...

On the other side, Xiao Hongchen took Gao Dalou and Meng Hongchen to find a not-so-large bar and walked in.
Although this bar wasn't large, it was full of voices at this time. As soon as entering the door, a strong noise rushed to the face, making Meng Hongchen frown greatly.
Since the Hongchen siblings looked like rich people at a glance, the three were smoothly led to a booth in the corner of the bar.
The so-called booth was actually seats separated by a few wooden boards. Inside were two long sofas and a low table. Although this position didn't look like much, at least it was much quieter than outside.
"Bring your most expensive wine here." Gao Dalou ordered the waiter unceremoniously.
A gleam flashed in the waiter's eyes, saying: "Okay, please wait a moment, coming right away."
Xiao Hongchen learned from Huo Yuhao that this person was an alcoholic, and instantly had a plan in his heart.
"I heard Brother Gao say during the competition just now that you have never studied in a formal soul engineer academy? In that case, Brother Gao, you can actually cultivate to the level of a Level 5 Soul Engineer. This is simply a miracle!"
A Level 5 Soul Engineer was a powerhouse at the Five-Ring Soul King level. A young man under thirty who could reach this level solely by self-study, his talent and hard work could be imagined.
Gao Dalou didn't intend to hide much because he saw that the Hongchen siblings were not simple. He told them about his life in one go, including his stingy miser character.
Gao Dalou sighed and said: "Anyway, I am now a Level 5 Soul Engineer, different from before. It's nothing more than finding a sect willing to take me in, seeing if I can get some rare metals for practice. Brother, I see your ability to make soul tools is so strong, at least at the level of a Level 5 Soul Engineer, and your technique is so orthodox and disciplined. You should be from a big sect, right? Why don't you introduce me to your place? I don't ask for anything else, just provide me with enough materials, and then the soul tools I make belong to me. In the future, I will work my life for you."
Xiao Hongchen looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, and said to Meng Hongchen beside him: "Little Meng, tell that waiter just now not to bring the wine. Let's go."
"Yes." Meng Hongchen agreed, holding back her laughter as she was about to walk out. She knew that her brother was about to start fooling people according to Huo Yuhao's plan.
However, this Gao Dalou wasn't as pitiful as he looked on the surface. This guy's mind was very deep!
"Don't, don't go! Brother, we haven't drunk the wine yet!" Gao Dalou hurriedly stopped them.
Just then, the waiter had walked in. On the tray was a bottle of pink wine, three glasses, and a bucket of ice.
"Sir, your wine is here. Shall I open it for you?" The waiter asked Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen immediately turned his head to look at Gao Dalou. Gao Dalou hurriedly said: "Open, open, of course open. Hurry up." While speaking, he had already started swallowing saliva.
Xiao Hongchen smiled and said: "Brother Gao, alcohol will numb our hands. Drinking too much will even cause trembling, greatly affecting the state. You have to be careful!"
Gao Dalou said carelessly: "It's fine, it's fine, just occasionally!"
Being a waiter, he naturally opened the wine without hesitation, added three pieces of ice to each glass, then poured wine just covering the ice cubes, and then respectfully retreated.
Gao Dalou picked up the glass in front of him, drank the wine just cooled by ice cubes in one gulp. In a while, his face turned completely intoxicated.
"Good wine, really good wine! Haven't drunk such good Rose Wine for a long time. It really makes me excited! Brother, taste it quickly." While speaking, this guy had already poured himself another glass.
Meng Hongchen picked up the wine glass and took a small sip. The wine was indeed not bad. A faint rose fragrance entered the throat with the wine. The fragrance seemed to evaporate on its own, quickly spreading to all senses with the slide of the wine. Bursts of warm aura also spread from the stomach, giving people a refreshing feeling as if all pores of the body opened.
What surprised Meng Hongchen was that after this sip of wine, the ice attribute aura always present in her body seemed to have reduced a bit.
This can't be drunk too much!
Xiao Hongchen also took a sip of wine. He lived beside Jing Hongchen since childhood and was originally a wine connoisseur. This wine was far worse compared to those royal tribute wines.
Gao Dalou kept observing the siblings while drinking. When he suddenly saw Xiao Hongchen's face changing uncertainly, he couldn't help being startled. Although this Rose Wine wasn't cheap, it shouldn't hurt so much to look like this, right?
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Gao Dalou asked tentatively.
Xiao Hongchen shook his head, then threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground casually, making a crisp sound of glass shattering.
His action made Gao Dalou's heart skip a beat instantly.
"Sir, is there any poor hospitality in our shop?" The waiter hurriedly came up and asked respectfully.
They hadn't not seen people finding fault and causing trouble, but the rich kid aura derived from Xiao Hongchen's long years in an environment of being surrounded by stars couldn't be faked. So as soon as the Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen siblings entered the shop, they were immediately noticed by the backend staff.
"What kind of lousy wine is this?" Xiao Hongchen was obviously somewhat dissatisfied, saying in a deep voice: "Go, bring me a glass of every kind of good wine you have here."
"Ah? Every kind? Sir, although our shop is not big, there are hundreds of kinds of wine! Just..."
"Enough, go get them quickly." While speaking, Xiao Hongchen threw the entire money bag over directly.
The waiter took the money bag, and the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into greed, saying repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away. Please wait a moment."
Then Xiao Hongchen turned to Gao Dalou and said: "Brother Gao, if there's nothing else, you go first. I suddenly thought of some important matters to deal with."
"Your important matter is drinking, right? Brother, how can drinking have no company? I'm not good at other things, but being a drinking buddy is absolutely top-notch!" How could Gao Dalou let go of such a good opportunity to taste fine wine? He hurriedly recommended himself repeatedly.
Seeing this guy finally took the bait, Xiao Hongchen shook his head pretending to be dissatisfied, saying: "Didn't Brother Gao hear? I only asked for one glass of each. I want to taste them myself, so I won't keep you."
This time it was Gao Dalou's turn to have a face changing between green and white.
More than a hundred kinds of fine wine, drinking them in comparison, what kind of feeling was that? He hadn't tried it in his life! Absolutely invincible wonderfulness. But the other party wanted to drive him away, this...
Huo Yuhao deliberately instructed before they left that this Gao Dalou had only two hobbies in life, one of which was drinking.
"Brother, look, is this okay? I join the power behind you. I only ask you to provide me with materials for soul tool production, and then the soul tools I make can belong to you. But you have to give me some money to buy wine at least, and best find me a wife. Then I'll follow you, boo hoo hoo!"
"Oh?" Xiao Hongchen finally saw the fish take the bait, waved his hand generously, and said: "Little Meng, ask the waiter to add another full set."
Gao Dalou licked his cracked lips with his tongue and extended both thumbs, "Domineering!"
...
Looking at the five red soul rings floating one by one on Bibi Dong's body, only then did Huo Yuhao nod with satisfaction.
However, the contours of Bibi Dong's face seemed to have changed slightly. If the newly reborn Bibi Dong was a fresh and pleasant girl next door, at this moment she seemed to show signs of transforming towards the former Empress.
The Spider Queen had her will twisted by Huo Yuhao and had now become their companion, only that brutal nature always existed.
Bibi Dong opened her beautiful eyes. That feeling of becoming strong again seemed to make her enjoy it very much. A look of excitement couldn't help appearing on her pretty face.
"Soul King, congratulations." Huo Yuhao chuckled, then tutted: "It's just a pity that red doesn't look quite right. How good it would be if it were orange."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him reproachfully. That was a fierce beast. Only soul beasts with cultivation over two hundred thousand years could allow human soul masters to possess orange-gold soul rings through the Soul Spirit ritual. How many fierce beasts were there in the entire Douluo Continent in total?
At this time, Huo Yuhao noticed that the Spider Queen was staring at the thirty-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider fainted on the ground without blinking.
"You don't still plan to devour it, do you?" Huo Yuhao was speechless. No wonder Xiong Jun said this hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider couldn't be kept.
"Devouring it, I am confident in improving my cultivation. In this way, I can increase the age of her soul rings." The Spider Queen was now honest, begging to be let off.
"You are now at the cultivation of one hundred and something thousand years?" Huo Yuhao's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Replying to Demon King, this concubine has cultivated to one hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation."
Huo Yuhao said nothing more, but hurriedly asked Electrolux through thought: "Elder Yi, please trouble you to take advantage of the Man-Faced Demon Spider devouring its clansman to try to study the constructibility of the Spirit Ascension Platform I mentioned to you before. If we can master this technology, then our partners who join later will have a way to increase the age of their soul rings."
