The Truth Behind Her Death, Ah Rou's Request

Even the secret arts of the Divine Realm could not resurrect someone who had been dead for many years.

Even if the Goddess of Life used her origin, there was no way she could accomplish something so incredible.

The God of Water was the best person to investigate this ability.

They really did not want to talk to Chu Xuan. It hurt too much.

At the thought that their lives were in Chu Xuan's hands, even breathing hurt.

Beside the Lake of Life, Xiao Wu and Ah Rou talked for a full two hours before they finished.

Just then, Da Ming and Er Ming returned with the lumber.

They were dumbfounded the moment they saw Ah Rou.

It took them a long time to come to their senses. They blinked hard, wondering whether they were hallucinating.

"What are you staring at? Mom's been resurrected, and it's all thanks to Chu Xuan!"

Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, in a very good mood.

It really had not been easy for her mother to come back to life.

Without Chu Xuan, she might never have seen her mother again.

"Aunt Rou..."

The eyes of Da Ming and Er Ming, both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, filled with tears.

"There, there. You're both so big now, and you're still crying."

Ah Rou spoke softly.

Chu Xuan studied her carefully. She really did look a lot like Bibi Dong.

Their temperaments, however, were completely different.

Bibi Dong carried herself like a powerful woman. One glance at her, and she was a queen looking down from on high.

Ah Rou, by contrast, was gentle and graceful, with a constant smile on her face, like the big sister next door.

"Chu Xuan, thank you."

At last, Ah Rou looked at Chu Xuan. The man who had resurrected her through mysterious means was her benefactor for life.

Chu Xuan waved a hand and said, "It was a small matter. Could you tell us what happened when you died? I'm sure Xiao Wu wants to know too."

In the scenes Xiao Wu had seen in the Wheel of Time, she and Bibi Dong were enemies.

But Chu Xuan had also said things were not as she thought.

Now was the perfect time to clear it up.

Xiao Wu had many questions about her mother's death.

If she remembered correctly, her mother's death had been caused by someone!

Ah Rou sighed and told them the whole story.

Back then, she had happened upon a woman from the human world in the forest. Unable to leave her to die, she had kindly helped her.

She had also learned the human language from the woman.

Her mother had taken human form with an appearance identical to that woman's.

That woman was Bibi Dong!

Worried that Bibi Dong would bring people back with her, she had moved away with Xiao Wu.

Later, she had left home to search for her husband, who had entered the core region, and had ultimately been gravely wounded there by a powerful Soul Beast.

On the verge of death, she had encountered Bibi Dong again.

She had thought that she was going to die anyway, and although Da Ming and Er Ming protected her daughter in the forest, the methods of human Soul Masters were beyond her ability to gauge.

So she had made a deal with Bibi Dong.

She had willingly sacrificed herself in exchange for her daughter's safety.

That was how she had ultimately died.

"So that's what happened. I, I thought..."

Xiao Wu's head was buzzing.

Hadn't her mother been killed by a human?

"Of course, to make you understand how dangerous the human world was, Bibi Dong and I put on an act. Xiao Wu, you've suffered."

Ah Rou sighed.

According to her original plan, her daughter should have stayed in the forest.

But to her surprise, Xiao Wu had chosen to go to the human world for revenge.

If she had not met Chu Xuan, Tang San might eventually have schemed her to death.

Xiao Wu had already told her all about the Wheel of Time.

Ah Rou thought that Chu Xuan had such a divine artifact, as well as the means to resurrect her, so he naturally had no need to deceive them.

Therefore, what they had seen in the Wheel of Time was real. It was what would happen in the future.

Fortunately, Tang San had already been captured by Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, she would have had to consider going to the human world to beat that Little Scumbag to death.

No one was allowed to bring about her daughter's death!

Hurting her after deceiving her feelings was especially cruel.

"So you planned to keep Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest all along?"

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Ah Rou was deeply resistant to the human world.

She would not trust humans easily!

Unexpectedly, Ah Rou shook her head and said, "No. If Xiao Wu can stay by your side, I believe she'll be very safe."

"And... I want to follow you. You're my benefactor. You let me see my daughter again, so I have to repay you."

She had even said she wanted to repay him?

Chu Xuan cleared his throat. Things had already begun to turn a little suggestive between him and Xiao Wu.

If Ah Rou followed him, how was he supposed to take advantage?

[Ding! A God-Level Choice quest has been triggered. Please choose one option!]

[Option one: Agree to Ah Rou's request. Reward: Soul Power Level +3, Golden Sacred Dragon Essence Blood ×2, Deity Contract Fragment ×2!]

[Option two: Refuse Ah Rou's request. Reward: the title "Refuse to Be a Cao Thief."]

There were only two choices this time, and their contents made Chu Xuan's brows twitch sharply several times.

What did this mean?

Did the system want him to be a Cao thief?

The effect of that title was a little disgusting.

After obtaining the title, his heart would be pure, and he would devote himself to the Dao.

Simply put, he would lose all interest in women from then on.

Damn it, was that a reward or a punishment?

System, you're using the reward to tempt me, aren't you?

He could not help complaining inwardly.

The reward for option one was truly tempting.

His Soul Power could go straight up to level sixty, and the other rewards were pretty good too.

He did not even have to think about which one to choose.

He had no desire to be a monk in this world.

Having made his choice, Chu Xuan said, "All right, I'll let you follow me."

"Let's be clear first. I'm the Spirit Hall God Child, so if you follow me, you'll naturally be coming to Spirit City with me."

Spirit City!

Ah Rou's expression changed slightly.

There were quite a few Titled Douluo in Spirit City. If she went there, would her identity be exposed?

At present, her cultivation was not very high.

She was a Soul Saint at level seventy-something!

In theory, she did not need to worry about anyone seeing through her.

But there was someone in Spirit Hall who knew her: the current Pope, Bibi Dong!

"Don't worry. With me there, no one in Spirit Hall will lay a hand on you."

"As for when we'll return to Spirit City, that depends."

"I'm planning to take Xiao Wu to Suotuo City for some fun."

There were still people from the protagonist's camp at Shrek Academy, as well as two beauties. How could he miss them?

He had transmigrated to this world, bound himself to the Divine Realm, gained an incomparably powerful backer, and had a cheat like the system.

Why shouldn't he do as he pleased for once?

He wanted every beauty who had appeared in the original story!

Only a fool would choose!

Ah Rou breathed a sigh of relief. With Chu Xuan's status, there should not be a problem.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, stared wide-eyed.

"God Child? You... you're actually the Spirit Hall God Child?"

The news had long since spread across the entire continent. It would have been hard for her not to know.

She had never imagined that the Spirit Hall God Child everyone had been talking about some time ago was actually Chu Xuan.

That news would surely shock countless people!

"Mm. Let's build the cabin first and live here for a while. We'll go to Shrek Academy around the time classes start."

"As for that Little Scumbag Tang San, we'll see whether Tang Hao can pull it off."

"If he really can't, let him live a while longer, then kill him. That'll save us from having to keep him in mind."
