Chapter 11 Hu Liena
Li Fulan returned to the Douluo Great Forest, where he had always been loyal.
【Om—】
Four tiny drones, each the size of a fingernail, like inconspicuous black beetles, silently flew out from Li Fulan's waist and instantly disappeared into the dense canopy of trees.
Li Fulan adjusted his tactical helmet on one side, a slight smile playing on his lips.
This helmet not only functions as a walkie-talkie, but also blocks out outside sounds, allowing only the user to communicate with another world.
"Is this the joy of having a 'full map cheat'?"
He casually swiped the terminal on his wrist. Although there was no fluctuation of soul power, every rustle of wind and movement within several kilometers was now under his watchful eye.
There's something going on.
Lin An's voice came through the earphones. This time, he didn't report those dry data; instead, his voice carried a hint of playful banter that only men would understand.
[This is the "top-tier resource" you've been looking for. Two kilometers away, at nine o'clock, by a creek. Wow...that figure is amazing.]
"Enough nonsense," Li Fulan raised an eyebrow, her tactical boots silently crunching over the decaying leaves. "Human or ghost?"
It's a fairy. See for yourself; I suggest you wipe your nosebleed first.
Li Fulan looked down at the screen.
The image, taken from above the treetops, is incredibly clear after processing. A crystal-clear stream meanders past a gray-white rocky beach, and right beside that stream sits a radiant beauty.
As the camera zoomed in, Li Fulan's breath hitched.
The woman wasn't wearing any elaborate combat gear; instead, she sat casually on a blue stone by the shore, her skirt lifted up to her thighs, shamelessly displaying legs that could take the breath away of any male.
White.
It was a white with a warm, ivory-like sheen, almost transparent, which appeared dazzling, even somewhat glaring, against the backdrop of the surrounding dark green vegetation and rough limestone.
The stream water reached past her ankles, and glistening droplets slid down her calves, which were as smooth as works of art, past her full calves, and dripped onto the dry rocks, shattering into eight pieces.
She was idly splashing the water with her shiny white feet. Her toes were round and cute, her toenails painted with pale pink flower juice. Each kick stirred up ripples carrying fragments of sunlight. It wasn't just playing in the water; it was more like casually stirring the heartstrings of those watching.
Even just a glimpse of his back, that signature orange short hair, and that captivating yet dangerous aura that emanates naturally even in a relaxed state...
Li Fulan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
"Hu Liena".
No data analysis is needed. With this level of beauty and this innate charm, who else could it be but the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, known as the "Demon Fox"?
"Click."
The crisp snapping sound was particularly jarring beside the quiet stream.
The figure playing in the stream paused.
She didn't panic and try to cover herself, nor did she immediately unleash her martial spirit to shout and kill. She simply turned around slowly and gracefully, her charm in that instant like a thorny rose blooming in slow motion.
On that exquisitely beautiful oval face, there was a hint of displeasure at being disturbed, but more than that, a languid air of superiority. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze like two soft knives, lightly landing on Li Fulan, carrying the air of scrutinizing prey.
"Who?"
The voice wasn't loud, but it had a natural magnetism that made people's ears feel sore.
Li Fulan stood at a safe distance of ten meters from her, his gaze sweeping over her frankly. He neither stared at her legs like a pervert and drooled, nor did he lower his head and avoid her like a coward.
He whistled, his tone as relaxed as if he were greeting an old friend.
"Sorry to disturb this beautiful view."
He pointed to the stream, then glanced meaningfully at Hu Liena's feet still in the water.
"I just wanted to fetch some water, but I didn't expect this place to have been taken over by... a lost forest elf?"
Hu Liena was taken aback.
Forest spirit?
This old-fashioned yet novel term was something she had never heard before.
But what intrigued her even more was the man's attire. He wore a strange black bodysuit covered with various small metal boxes of unknown purpose, a strange silver iron pipe at his waist, and a huge black trunk on his back.
Most importantly, this man showed no signs of soul power fluctuations, but his eyes... were too clean.
There was none of the greed and lewdness those filthy men showed her, nor the fear that the weak show when they see the strong. It was an equal gaze, even tinged with... amusement?
[She's curious. Your outfit has successfully caught her attention. Keep it up, don't look awkward.] Lin An's reminder came through the earpiece.
"Which sect do you belong to?"
Hu Liena didn't come out of the water; she even deliberately lifted one foot, letting water droplets slide down the instep, displaying her stunningly white skin. She rested her chin on her hand, observing Li Fulan with great interest.
"This outfit... is quite unique. Is it some kind of new soul tool?"
I guess so.
Li Fulan shrugged, walked to a rock upstream, unscrewed the cap of his military water bottle, and slowly poured water into it. His movements were fluid and graceful, showing no sign of nervousness in front of a Soul King.
"You can call me... Li Fulan."
"As for sects..." He raised his head and smiled at Hu Liena, a smile that was three parts sincerity and seven parts deception, "Our place is rather remote, you've never heard of it. The people there don't cultivate martial spirits, they specialize in tinkering with these strange and ingenious techniques."
"Strange tricks and ingenious techniques?"
Hu Liena parted her red lips slightly, savoring the word, a hint of confusion and inquiry flashing in her pink eyes.
Now's the time! Offer a little something sweet to build rapport.
Li Fulan mentally gave Lin An a thumbs up. He took out a small silver-packaged gadget from the pouch in his belt.
It was a high-energy chocolate from military rations.
"It's fate that we met, let me treat you to some local specialties."
With a flick of his wrist, the beautifully packaged chocolate traced an arc through the air and flew precisely toward Hu Liena.
Hu Liena gently pinched the small silver cube with her two slender, white fingers.
She looked at the exquisite patterns and Chinese characters she had never seen before, then glanced at Li Fulan's composed expression. Her nose twitched slightly as she caught a rich, sweet scent she had never smelled before.
That was a sweet temptation from another world.
"What's this?" She held the chocolate in her hand, her eyes filled with a girlish longing.
"Something that can make you feel better." Li Fulan tightened the kettle, winked at her, "Like you right now, you're beautiful, but you'd look even better if you smiled."
