Long eyelashes, a delicate nose, a small mouth... Su Yuan was momentarily entranced by his observation.
Simply beautiful...
"What’s wrong?" Luo Bingtong suddenly opened her eyes and tilted her head inquisitively.
Su Yuan cleared his throat, quickly taking out an alchemy box and opening it, "This is for you. Use these two together to ensure a prompt breakthrough to the Burning Sun level."
Luo Bingtong glanced at the two Sun Spirit Pills in Su Yuan’s alchemy box, roughly guessing what they were.
"Too... expensive."
Although the Demon Beasts of the Ancient Forbidden Zone have also learned the arts of alchemy, artifact crafting, and array talismans, in reality, only a few extremely talented Demon Beasts have truly mastered the four arts.
The level of the four arts over in the Ancient Forbidden Zone is far inferior to that of the Great Flame, so the cost of elixirs is naturally higher as well.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "You are my person now, using it for you is just like using it for myself. I’m not stingy."
Luo Bingtong was initially stunned, then her pupils quickly dilated, her pure blue eyes blinking as she stared at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan originally thought that since they had the Guardian Beast Contract, they were naturally on the same side.
However, at this moment, seeing Luo Bingtong’s dazed expression, Su Yuan also realized something was off.
"Quick, take it. Breakthrough early, there will be more work to do."
Su Yuan laughed it off, grabbed Luo Bingtong’s slightly cool small hand, placed the elixir in her hand, and left first.
Luo Bingtong looked at the two Sun Spirit Pills in her palm and slowly clenched her fist.
Su Yuan left the Enlightenment Platform and called Ruan Ruan, who was looking for Mo Fei for sparring, into the hall.
"Master!"
"Ruan Ruan, this is the last Star Core needed to complete the legendary puzzle." Su Yuan directly handed her the box containing the Divine Bird Star Core.
Ruan Ruan took the box, opened it, and immediately her eyes sparkled, "Ah?! Divine Bird, Divine Bird, it’s the Divine Bird!"
Ruan Ruan was extremely excited, and Su Yuan, while stroking Ruan Ruan’s blue hair, also looked expectantly, "Quick, swallow it and see what you’ll evolve into?"
"Yes!"
Ruan Ruan giggled, her body shimmering as she reverted to her slime form, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed the Star Core.
Waves of devouring power emanated from her body, gradually weaving a cocoon of dark light that enveloped Ruan Ruan inside.
"It’s starting..."
Su Yuan didn’t go far but stayed by her side throughout.
Very soon, the night passed.
On the light cocoon, circles of black ripples spread out like breathing, growing stronger and more profound.
As time passed, the energy fluctuations on the black ripples reached their peak.
Accompanied by waves of strong and distinctly different auras, the phantoms of the Spirit Kun, Great Monkey, and Great Sun Divine Crow, three Holy Beasts, appeared successively on the cocoon.
Then the black light surged, devouring the phantoms of the Holy Beasts into the light cocoon, which suddenly loosened, transforming into spiraling black ribbons that unfurled layer by layer from top to bottom!
Finally, revealing a sea-blue girl with closed eyes.
Her skin was like creamy white snow, and beside her long hair was a tilted Black Coral Crown, adding an aura of icy profundity.
Despite the evolution, Ruan Ruan’s appearance did not change much.
However, beneath her slightly youthful visage, her form and aura had grown significantly, subtly exuding a sense of depth and majesty.
Moments later, Ruan Ruan opened her eyes and upon seeing Su Yuan, her face transformed from coldness to sudden joy and attachment as she giggled.
"Master, master!"
Ruan Ruan dove into Su Yuan’s arms, and Su Yuan quickly embraced her, lifted her, and weighed her in his hand.
"Seems like... you got a bit heavier?"
"Hehehe, I’m growing up!"
Feeling the softness in front of him, Su Yuan glanced down, saw the snow-white, and released Ruan Ruan, flipping his hand to produce a black robe to cover her.
"Put this on."
"Okay!"
Watching this, Su Yuan chuckled, recalling that Ruan Ruan had been like this when she first transformed.
Thinking back, from the journey to the South Sea, where the recently reborn Ruan Ruan clung to him;
Up to now, she had grown into a Burning Sun Level legendary Star Beast, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed...
Desperately helping him subdue the Undead Evil Fire, tirelessly fetching Star Cores for him, throughout the numerous battles and crises, Ruan Ruan had always been there.
Unknowingly, she had become the longest-standing presence by his side...
"Master, master!"
Ruan Ruan, having put on the black robe, excitedly pounced again.
"System!" Su Yuan held the little one and silently summoned Ruan Ruan’s system panel in his heart:
