"Super Defense again? What a pity. It would've been better if it were something else. Luckily, I still have three Experience Cards. Should I keep using them?"

Li Xuan frowned in thought. He wanted to continue using the Experience Cards, but after considering it, he gave up on the idea.

After all, he had already reached the outer edge of the forest and was not far from leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

Besides...

He might encounter danger in the future. He had to keep some trump cards in reserve, so Li Xuan decided to complete the system mission first.

"I hope it's the Heaven Dou Empire outside. That way, I can reach Notting City faster."

As Li Xuan spoke, he flipped his right hand, and two rings appeared in his palm.

One belonged to Chrysanthemum Douluo, while the other belonged to Bibi Dong. Both were invaluable Spatial Spirit Tools, and there had to be good things inside.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan prepared to inspect the rings.

But when he noticed the White Wolf King beside him looking ready to flee, Li Xuan tossed both rings into Natural Space and decided to look at them later.

Then he walked over to the two-meter-tall White Wolf King, patted its foreleg, and said, "Crouch!"

Bang! The White Wolf King crouched without hesitation. Though the little devil beside it looked harmless now and was no longer as terrifying as before, the White Wolf King still did not dare provoke him.

This guy simply was not human.

What if the little devil suddenly turned into that Green Fatty and beat it senseless again? That would be far too unbearable.

So the White Wolf King obediently lay still.

"Not bad."

Li Xuan nodded, grabbed the White Wolf King's resilient fur, and slowly climbed onto its back.

Once he was seated firmly, Li Xuan patted the White Wolf King's head with his fair little hand. "Let's go. Leave the Star Dou Great Forest and find somewhere humans live."

Awoo! The White Wolf King howled and began running on its four sturdy paws.

It raced through the lush forest as if traversing level ground, streaking toward the forest's outer edge like the wind.

As a wolf-type spirit beast skilled in running, and a wind-attributed Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast at that, its speed was naturally exceptional.

However...

Li Xuan, sitting on the White Wolf King's back, felt wave after wave of drowsiness wash over him.

The Green Fatty Experience Card's effects were too powerful. After using it once, his head had felt heavy and swollen, and he had wanted to rest and sleep.

Then he had used it again, making his head feel even worse. He was so sleepy that he kept nodding off.

Therefore...

Li Xuan groggily lay on the White Wolf King's back and gradually fell asleep amid the rushing wind.

Time continued to pass. The White Wolf King kept running, obediently carrying out its orders.

It ran across vast stretches of forest, passed through all kinds of obstacles, and finally left the Star Dou Great Forest. It arrived outside the forest and saw areas where humans lived.

But it had not received an order to stop, so it did not dare stop at all. It could only keep sprinting forward aimlessly.

It ran and ran, for a very long time. It even crossed countless regions and climbed countless mountains. In short, the White Wolf King had gotten lost too and had no idea where it was.

After running for a day and a night, the starving White Wolf King arrived near another forest on a sunny morning and curiously examined it.

Filled with confusion, the White Wolf King walked over to a road. At that moment, it suddenly noticed that the little devil on its back was fast asleep.

The White Wolf King froze for an instant, then fell silent.

After a long while...

The White Wolf King carefully lowered Li Xuan from its back.

When it saw that the little devil had not awakened, the White Wolf King finally sighed in relief.

Then it turned its wolf head and sprinted into the distance without hesitation.

It decided to leave this little devil forever and never approach this seemingly harmless little devil again.

Time slowly passed, and the abandoned Li Xuan slept quietly by the roadside.

Even while sleeping, his adorable little face looked incredibly cute.

After receiving Appearance Enhancement twice, his already somewhat handsome features had long become exceptionally handsome and adorable.

Unfortunately, he could only sleep alone by the roadside now, ignored by everyone.

Clip-clop, clip-clop! A carriage slowly approached from afar. When the driver spotted Li Xuan, he was briefly stunned before hurriedly turning back and calling out.

"Something's happened, guests! There's a boy lying by the roadside ahead."

"A boy?!"

A puzzled voice came from inside the carriage. Soon, three people stepped out.

They were two young men and a young woman.

The leading young man was sturdily built and bare-chested. The ends of his hair stood high, giving him an imposing, wolf-like air.

After getting down from the carriage, he said, "Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, wait here. I'll go take a look."

"Let's go with you. It's strange for a boy to be out here in the wilderness," the red-haired Jiang Zhu suggested after thinking for a moment.

"Yeah, Huang Yuan. Your physique may be strong, but my speed is faster than yours. Let's go together," Jing Ling said, patting his chest.

"Fine, let's go together."

The three of them walked to the roadside in confusion. When they saw Li Xuan sleeping there, they were all very surprised.

"He's actually asleep. How strange. Where are his parents?" Huang Yuan asked doubtfully.

"It is strange. Let me check whether he's injured. Perhaps he was abandoned."

Jiang Zhu was attentive and worried that the boy might be unwell, so she walked over to Li Xuan and gently helped him up.

"Huh? What a handsome boy. So cute."

When Jiang Zhu saw Li Xuan's face clearly, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly. She then examined him carefully in surprise. It was truly her first time seeing someone so handsome.

"Tch, he's just a child. Jiang Zhu, you don't need to swoon over a kid, do you?"

Huang Yuan could not help teasing her. Yet when he got a clear look at Li Xuan's appearance, he was momentarily stunned as well. He could not help it—Li Xuan really was handsome enough to make him jealous.

"I'm not swooning. Besides, I'm only a few years older than him," Jiang Zhu replied, unable to stop herself from looking Li Xuan over again with her beautiful eyes.

Such a handsome boy would definitely become a great beauty when he grew up. This made Jiang Zhu, who had a weakness for handsome faces, examine him even more closely.

"Alright, alright. Is he okay? Why is he sleeping here?" Huang Yuan asked.

"He isn't injured, but I don't know why he's sleeping here. This wilderness is dangerous. If wild beasts attack him, it'll be troublesome. Let's take him away. My home is just ahead, so we can head back there."

Jiang Zhu suggested.

"Fine. We're going to your house anyway. You're the host, so you decide," Jing Ling said with a shrug.

"Then let's go. Once we get back, we can discuss how to obtain our first Soul Ring."

"Alright."

The three brought Li Xuan into the carriage and headed toward Jiang Zhu's home, Luoshan Village.

At the same time...

Because it had gotten lost, the fleeing White Wolf King arrived in a valley outside Luoshan Village. It took control of the wolf pack there and prepared to expand its territory.

And Luoshan Village was its first target.
