"My horns, my horns!"

The Bull Demon clutched his head in agony, completely stunned as if he'd been struck by lightning.

His head was now bare, a sight that left him thunderstruck and deeply unsettled. For a bull, horns were a symbol. Without his horns, could he still be called a bull?

He was on the verge of a breakdown, frozen for a long moment without reacting.

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King, who had been sitting on the leather sofa, stood up. His voice was low as he said, "You possess two Elemental Attribute Abilities? How is that possible? How did you do it?"

A mere Snake Spirit, wielding both ice and fire—one representing extreme cold, the other scorching heat. It was unbelievable.

Elemental Attribute Abilities had always represented the most formidable powers in the world. For a human, one needed extraordinary Talent to be worthy of them. For a creature, it was a foolish dream without an exceptionally noble bloodline.

"So, do you think I'm qualified to challenge you now?"

Tu Xiao'an toyed with the two bull horns, his every move radiating immense confidence.

The Bull Demon King's expression shifted, and he finally sat back down with a snort. "Defeat my subordinate first. Then we'll talk."

A Rank 3 fighting a Rank Two was an almost shameful affair.

It was like an adult fighting a child—pointless.

"Give me back my horns!"

The Bull Demon snapped back to his senses, his body enveloped in black Qi. He was now a maddened bull. His voice rose from a low growl to a full-blown roar. His face flushed red, then turned ashen, and the veins on his neck bulged as if they were about to explode.

Without his horns, the Bull Demon swung his fists, each the size of a sandbag. They contained an unparalleled, brutal force. In an instant, the hall began to tremble, and the entire villa seemed to sway.

"Go to hell, Snake Spirit!"

As he threw the punch, the air crackled with a series of sonic booms. Having his horns ripped off had made him lose all reason.

Losing his horns was the ultimate humiliation.

"Fire Fist!"

Tu Xiao'an coldly watched the tall and sturdy Bull Demon charge at him. A fiery light glinted in his bewitching eyes. The Flame swirling around his body instantly converged on his fist as he launched an overwhelmingly powerful punch.

The moment the Bull Demon got close, he was engulfed in flames. He let out a strange cry and was sent flying backward, instantly dumbfounded.

The corner of Tu Xiao'an's mouth curled up. He vanished from his spot and, before his opponent could even land, reappeared in the air directly above the Bull Demon. A fist wreathed in Flame descended from the sky, crashing down on him with overwhelming force.

'How can he be so strong?'

The Bull Demon found it hard to believe. He lost in a contest of fists? He was a bull! A Peak second Rank Bull Spirit, no less! He had undergone a forced Transformation with the help of his leader's power. Below Rank 3, he should have been practically invincible.

This monster... one moment it's ice, the next it's fire. Unbelievably tyrannical.

BOOM!

The floor caved in. Tu Xiao'an's fist slammed into the Bull Demon, smashing him down onto the first floor.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The Bull Demon spat out several mouthfuls of blood as his life force plummeted. He felt as if his powerful bones were about to shatter, and a ball of Flame still clung to his body, burning him.

"Leader, save me!"

A look of terrified despair crossed the Bull Demon's face as he began to scream for help.

'This isn't a Snake Spirit, this is clearly a Snake Demon! How is his combat power so strong? It's unreasonably strong!'

'It's like, how can a child be so powerful?'

"Stop screaming. Just die."

Tu Xiao'an was taking a loss, but a kill would still grant him 1,000 Evolutionary Energy.

"Stop!"

Just then, a voice cried out. Tu Xiao'an froze. The Bull Demon froze too. The one who shouted wasn't the Bull Demon King upstairs, but a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Don't kill my soup ingredient!"

Luo Ziyun had appeared next to Tu Xiao'an, stopping his slaughter.

Her words, however, made Tu Xiao'an's face darken. The Flame on his fist instantly dissipated, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Bull Demon had been about to give Luo Ziyun a grateful look, but what did she mean by that?

'Don't kill my soup ingredient?'

'She's treating a magnificent Peak second Rank Bull Spirit like food?'

"You're unbelievable," Tu Xiao'an said. "How about I kill it, and you can just take the corpse with you?"

Luo Ziyun waved her hands repeatedly and fluttered her long eyelashes. "No, if you kill it now, it won't be fresh."

"Fresh?..." The Bull Demon fell into despair. 'They're really treating me, a magnificent Peak second Rank Bull Spirit, like food?'

Tu Xiao'an felt like a stampede of ten thousand alpacas was running through his mind. He was about to grab this woman and teach her a good lesson.

"Look, lady, what do you want then?"

Luo Ziyun giggled. "He's already lost the ability to fight. Just leave him be."

"No, I have to kill him."

By not devouring the Bull Demon, Tu Xiao'an was already missing out on 1,000 Evolutionary Energy. He had planned on leaving the body for this woman to take back.

After all, she was the one who brought him here.

Now she wouldn't even let him kill it. If he didn't, the other 1,000 would be gone too. Did she really think he went through all this trouble just to work for her?

"Pi Pi Snake, if you kill my soup ingredient, I swear I'll never let you hear the end of it!" Luo Ziyun continued, "At most, from now on, whenever you come to my shop for noodles, I won't charge you."

Tu Xiao'an said directly, "Then you can't charge me for takeout either."

"Fine, it's a deal," Luo Ziyun agreed magnanimously.

'A Peak second Rank Bull Spirit, and I got it without lifting a finger. How wonderful!'

Tu Xiao'an threw a punch at the Bull Demon's ugly face, knocking him out cold.

'If this woman weren't so mysterious and unpredictable, and if she hadn't helped me cram so much knowledge before, there's no way I'd agree to such a raw deal.'

'I'll indulge her for now, let her take advantage a little. In the future... heh heh...'

"Hehe, my top-grade ingredient. Awesome!" Luo Ziyun walked happily over to the unconscious Bull Demon and sized him up, her eyes sparkling.

'This woman is just like a butcher right now.'

BOOM!

The Bull Demon King on the sofa upstairs could no longer sit still. He jumped straight down through the hole in the second floor and landed opposite Tu Xiao'an and Luo Ziyun.

When the Bull Demon King saw Luo Ziyun, his large, bell-like eyes instantly filled with greed.

What a peerless beauty. Absolutely flawless. Exquisite features, a graceful figure, long legs, a slender waist, and a perky rear. Just one glance was enough to make one lose control of their Primordial Power.

Luo Ziyun felt the Bull Demon King's scorching gaze sweep up and down her delicate body, filled with lust. She didn't get angry. Instead, she gave a radiant smile and, standing gracefully, said, "Am I pretty?"

"Pretty? Pretty? You're absolutely gorgeous!" The Bull Demon King instantly forgot all about the Snake Spirit, Tu Xiao'an. His huge eyes were glued to Luo Ziyun as if they'd been branded onto her, unable to look away.

Compared to this woman's beauty, the Bull Demon King felt that the young models and internet celebrities he'd found were just cheap makeup and common powder. The two weren't even in the same league.

A playful, wicked smile touched the corners of Tu Xiao'an's lips. "Bull Demon King, if you've taken a fancy to this woman, I'll give her to you."

"Really?" The Bull Demon King suspected he had misheard.

Tu Xiao'an nodded very seriously and said to him, "Really. Truer than a pearl. You have absolutely no reason to doubt it."
