Bi Ji already knew they would be leaving, so Su Yu had no need to make another trip to see Di Tian. Besides, Di Tian was probably with Bear Lord right now, and it would not be convenient for him to go.
Su Yu and Qiu'er were moving quickly. They had just reached the edge of the Lake of Life when they heard an explosion. The thunderous blast rang out without warning, startling Su Yu.
He turned to look and saw smoke from the explosion not far away, only a few hundred meters off.
"Brother, what's going on with that explosion?" Wang Qiu'er asked, looking in the direction of Su Yu's gaze in confusion.
"What else could it be? We'll find out if we go take a look. Da Ming and Er Ming should be over there. Come on, Qiu'er, let's go see." Su Yu spoke in a low voice. Afterward, he bent down and quietly crept toward the battle.
He had to be careful. He did not know who was fighting Da Ming and Er Ming, but anyone capable of fighting them would probably notice him the moment he made the slightest sound.
Su Yu did not want them to discover him. After all, if someone found a child deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, would they really think there was nothing suspicious about him? Do not assume they would leave him alone just because he did not carry the aura of a soul beast.
That was simply impossible. Every powerhouse had fought and killed their way to where they were. There was no way they would trust a child who had emerged from the depths of soul beast territory. It would already be merciful if they did not kill him outright.
Moreover, even if Su Yu was not taken away by those people, having them see his face would still be troublesome. After all, anyone who could fight Da Ming and Er Ming had to be at least a Titled Douluo.
Seeing her brother's actions, Wang Qiu'er was somewhat speechless. Still, she said nothing and quietly followed behind Su Yu, slowly crawling toward the battlefield.
The two quickly covered the few hundred meters. Hidden in a patch of grass, they raised their eyes and looked over. The instant he saw the scene, Su Yu froze.
Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in with Yue Guan. You have obtained 1 Fishing opportunity. Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in with Gui Mei. You have obtained 1 Fishing opportunity.
"Gui Mei and Yue Guan? Aren't they Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo? Bibi Dong's two most loyal lackeys, and also the two who ended up the most miserable later on—especially Chrysanthemum Douluo." Lying on the ground, Su Yu watched Chrysanthemum Douluo get blasted away by one of Da Ming's Azure Sky Divine Lightnings.
Then he looked at Ghost Douluo, who was being pinned to the ground and violently pummeled by Er Ming, and could not help smiling.
These two Titled Douluo were actually fairly strong. While they were not among the most powerful Titled Douluo to appear, their Rank 95 strength coupled with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was truly impressive.
Although the two of them were in a sorry state now, their strength was genuinely solid. But when it came to misery, Ghost Douluo had it a little better than Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo went to his death without even a single Soul Bone, while Ghost Douluo may have died earlier, but at least he had one Soul Bone.
Su Yu truly could not understand why these two had remained in Spirit Hall all along. Bibi Dong did not value them much either. If it were Su Yu, he would have run off to one of the Two Great Empires long ago.
The Two Great Empires treated Titled Douluo far better than Spirit Hall did.
"Old Ghost, retreat! These guys are too monstrous!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was sent flying once more, and the overwhelming current instantly made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Feeling the terrible state of his internal injuries, Chrysanthemum Douluo could not help roaring at Gui Mei on the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo unleashed his ninth soul skill. Countless petals from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum shot toward Da Ming and Er Ming, with some even flying straight for their eyes.
Da Ming and Er Ming instantly shut their eyes. Seizing the opportunity, Ghost Douluo turned into a shadow and slipped free from Er Ming's grasp.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo swiftly fled into the distance. Su Yu could not help shaking his head at the sight.
If Da Ming and Er Ming had not grown stronger before, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo might still have been able to put up a fight. But now, that was impossible. Fifty thousand years of cultivation was no small thing; it was enough for Da Ming and Er Ming to crush the two of them with ease.
Once the petals were gone, Da Ming and Er Ming looked at the two fleeing figures but did not pursue them relentlessly. After all, two Rank 95 Titled Douluo would not be easy to catch if they were determined to run.
"All right, Qiu'er, let's go out." Watching the two Titled Douluo flee far away, Su Yu smiled and rose from the ground. He brushed the dirt off himself, then patted all the dust off Qiu'er as well.
"Su Yu, you're leaving?" Da Ming and Er Ming asked in confusion as they looked at Su Yu and Wang Qiu'er.
"Mm, we were just about to leave, but the explosion from your battle drew us over, so we came to take a look." Holding Wang Qiu'er's hand, Su Yu smiled at Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Oh, so that's what happened." Er Ming scratched his large head and replied rather foolishly.
"All right, Er Ming, would you mind giving us a ride?" Su Yu carried Wang Qiu'er and leaped onto Er Ming's shoulder, asking with a grin.
"Go, Er Ming. Escort Su Yu and Lady Qiu'er out of the forest. Be careful not to let anyone discover them." After speaking, Da Ming swung his tail and smacked Er Ming across the back.
Er Ming gave Da Ming a wronged look, then spread his legs and headed straight for the edge of the forest.
Deep within the Lake of Life
Gu Yuena watched Su Yu and Wang Qiu'er leave and quietly sighed.
"Do your best. My Auspicious Beast Legion will be entrusted to you." Gu Yuena's gaze was deep and distant as she watched the two of them.
"Su Yu, when you get out, remember to say hello to Sister Xiao Wu for me," Er Ming said as he ran.
Wang Qiu'er's expression darkened when she heard Er Ming's words.
She remembered that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit who had taken human form. She had also been staying at her brother's home, helping him care for his grandfather all this time. That woman was a formidable rival.
Wang Qiu'er silently considered how to deal with Xiao Wu, and how to give her a show of strength when they first met.
Before long
Su Yu and Wang Qiu'er were brought to the outskirts of the forest.
"All right, Er Ming, you should head back. Qiu'er and I are leaving. Once you get back, train properly, understand?" Su Yu said with a smile as he patted Er Ming's head.
After speaking, Su Yu wrapped an arm around Qiu'er's waist, lifted her up, spread his Golden Feather Wings, and flew out of the forest.
As they watched the forest gradually recede behind them, the two could not help sighing.
Su Yu had lived here for nearly five years, so he had grown quite attached to the place. As for Wang Qiu'er, there was no need to mention it.
She had lived here for thousands of years. Her attachment was far stronger than Su Yu's.
"Hehe, Brother, put me down. I'm hungry. I want to eat at that restaurant we used to go to," Wang Qiu'er said gently, wrapping her arms around Su Yu's neck with a smile curling her lips.
