Chapter 38

"Mm, all right, I'm leaving." Di Tian took the pill and immediately ran off. Watching Di Tian disappear into the distance, Su Yu could not help but sigh.

Half a month later

"Xiao Wu, you're back. The past two years have been pretty good, right?" Su Yu smiled as he looked at Xiao Wu sitting atop the Titan Giant Ape.

"Su Yu, long time no see." Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she saw Su Yu below. She jumped straight down from the Titan Giant Ape, wrapped herself around his arm, and said with a giggle.

"Xiao Wu, it has indeed been a long time. Is my grandpa doing well? There aren't any problems with his health, right?" Su Yu smiled and produced a pill in his hand, passing it to Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, take this. It's a pill that can suppress your soul beast identity. Once you take it, it will conceal your unique aura. Even a Titled Douluo won't be able to sense it."

Xiao Wu took the pill from Su Yu's hand and looked at him in disbelief.

"This pill is really that powerful? It can even conceal my aura?" Xiao Wu stared at the pill in her hand, her face filled with astonishment.

"More or less. I only have two. I plan to give the other one to Qiu'er." Su Yu spoke calmly, and when he mentioned Qiu'er, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Wu's heart trembled as she looked at Su Yu's smile, and a bad feeling immediately surged up from the depths of her heart.

"By the way, Xiao Wu, you still haven't told me. How is my grandpa?" Su Yu asked with a grin.

"There's no problem. Su Yu, don't worry. I've taken very good care of Grandpa Su Yi. Just relax and focus on cultivating here. Trust me." Xiao Wu patted her still undeveloped chest and spoke solemnly.

"It's good that he's fine. Once Qiu'er takes human form, I'll bring her back to see him. And Xiao Wu, take these." A pile of Gold Soul Coins instantly appeared in front of Gu Yi.

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the Gold Soul Coins.

"Xiao Wu, spend them however you like. I'll ask Di Tian for more later. A few thousand Gold Soul Coins should be enough for you and Grandpa to live on for decades." Su Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Wu did not stand on ceremony and directly stored the coins in her Pink Necklace Soul Tool.

"By the way, Su Yu, I haven't asked yet. Who is Qiu'er? What is your relationship with her?" Xiao Wu held Su Yu's arm, a brilliant smile blooming on her little face as she giggled at him.

"Qiu'er? Sister Xiao Wu, she's the Auspicious Beast," the Titan Giant Ape said in a deep, muffled voice as he scratched his head upon hearing Xiao Wu's question.

When Xiao Wu heard Er Ming speak behind her, she immediately turned around and shot the Titan Giant Ape a fierce glare. Was that what she wanted to ask? What she wanted to know was Su Yu's relationship with Qiu'er.

"Hehe, Qiu'er is my little sister. She's been keeping me company these past few years, and she took human form because of me. I promised Bi Ji that I would protect her for the rest of my life," Su Yu said gently. Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, Xiao Wu's heart trembled again.

"Is that so? Then once you come to the human world, Sister Xiao Wu will take her out to have fun." Xiao Wu did not lose her composure in the slightest, nor did her expression change at all.

She continued smiling at Su Yu as she spoke cheerfully.

She could tell that Su Yu treated Qiu'er far better than he treated her.

Although she had known him first, Qiu'er had clearly spent much more time with Su Yu.

Moreover, Qiu'er had the support of her bloodline. Bloodline support was an incredibly powerful thing.

Xiao Wu herself had no fondness for humans who killed rabbits; she even hated them somewhat. Two Auspicious Beasts with nearly identical bloodlines—how could they possibly not be drawn to each other? So Xiao Wu had no intention of acting coquettishly. She could slowly wear him down whenever Qiu'er was not around.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu did not know that Qiu'er would succeed in taking human form in at most two years. Her plan was destined to fail.

"Sister Xiao Wu, you should hurry up and condense your Soul Ring." Er Ming scratched his large head, his voice rumbling.

"Er Ming!" Xiao Wu glared at him. But seeing the strange look in Su Yu's eyes, she still gritted her teeth and sat down cross-legged, beginning to cultivate.

Su Yu smiled as he watched the image of a Soft Bone Rabbit appear behind Xiao Wu, then sat down beside her.

He did have some feelings for Xiao Wu, and she had also been taking care of his grandpa all this time. To be honest, he felt somewhat guilty toward her.

But Qiu'er had not yet successfully taken human form, and he truly had no desire to start a relationship. Besides, Xiao Wu currently looked like nothing more than a little girl. How could Su Yu possibly make a move under such circumstances?

"Er Ming, I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you and Xiao Wu again tomorrow. I still haven't attended class today." After sitting for a while, Su Yu stood up and said with a smile.

Under Er Ming's gaze, Su Yu spread his wings and flew toward the Lake of Life.

"Come on, Di Tian. What are we developing today? My Second Soul Skill again?" Su Yu asked Di Tian curiously.

"No. Your Second Soul Skill does not have much room for development, and there's no way to extend it further. But your Third Soul Skill is different. You can completely control magma."

Di Tian looked at Su Yu and spoke solemnly, word by word. As Su Yu listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. Although he had quite a few ideas himself, Di Tian's suggestion was also extremely good.

After all, a dragon that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years had seen more things than Su Yu had in both his past and present lives combined.

"Di Tian, thank you. I'll go develop it right away." After saying that to Di Tian, Su Yu headed straight for the edge of the forest.

Without suitable opponents, Su Yu had little motivation to develop his Soul Skills. The forest was full of thousand-year soul beasts. Although they ran whenever they saw him, he could always find a few. If thousand-year ones would not do, then he could use ten-thousand-year ones. In any case, those fellows would not dare to harm him.

Su Yu smiled. Before long, he reached the middle region of the Star Dou Great Forest, spotted a three-thousand-year Ice Fire Toad, and immediately gave chase.

Ice Fire Toads were soul beasts that not only possessed powerful fire attributes but also powerful ice attributes.

His magma needed soul beasts like this for experimentation. It definitely was not because Su Yu thought they were ugly.

The Golden Feather Wings on Su Yu's back streaked swiftly through the air as he chased after the Ice Fire Toad.

But the Ice Fire Toad's escape speed was also terrifying. In the mere half-second Su Yu had not paid attention, it had instantly leaped out of sight. However, Su Yu's perception was incredibly powerful, and he soon locked onto a direction.
