Danger

"My name is Ah Yin. I'm happy to meet you—the first human I've ever known. What's your name?"

In the hazy mist, Ah Yin smiled with breathtaking beauty at Su Mutian.

"I..."

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Su Mutian's mind.

Tell her of his exalted identity, reverse the future, and save Ah Yin and the Tang Family from disaster!

No!

Su Mutian then thought of those three bastards, Qian Jixun and the others, closing in on him. If he exposed his true identity now, or fabricated a second false identity, he would easily be targeted!

So Su Mutian smiled.

"I come from another continent. Please call me Diga. I also have three other names.

My eldest little brother likes to call me Dyna. In my hometown, it means beloved elder brother.

My second little brother calls me Gaia. In my hometown, it means dear elder brother.

My third little brother is rather mischievous. He calls me Agul. In the stories of the Land of Light, it means noble yet unapproachable. Perhaps I was too strict with him."

Ah Yin's eyes were full of anticipation. "Your hometown must be a very beautiful place. I really hope I can visit it someday."

Then Ah Yin's expression grew somewhat desolate. "But for Soul Beasts like us, human society is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid I'll never be able to set foot there."

"Ah... human society really is very dangerous."

Su Mutian recalled that when he had first arrived in the Douluo World, he had once been innocent and adorable, filled with longing and anticipation for the world.

After that... after being deeply crushed by the people of Sea God Island, came the era when he developed himself in a miserable, low-key fashion.

"Huh? Aren't you human?"

At that moment, Ah Yin's spirit body gradually took shape, and the layers of mist grew thinner and thinner. She was lively and adorable; it was difficult to imagine that someone as delicate as her would originally sacrifice herself for love and ultimately return to her most primitive form.

But the moment Su Mutian heard that sentence, he froze.

Hey, why were you insulting me?

How was I not human?

Did I provoke you?

Su Mutian's mouth twitched. "Of course I'm human."

"Since you're human, why do you think human society is so dangerous?"

Ah Yin's small spirit body stood with her fair little ankles on petals of Blue Silver Grass. She leaned closer and asked, "What dirty thing is stuck on your face? Let me wipe it off for you~"

Su Mutian blanked out.

Looking into Ah Yin's innocent blue eyes, his mind inexplicably went completely blank.

I... I'm no different from that scoundrel!

Su Mutian felt like dying.

The one I love is Bo Saixi~

Sitting in the Sea God Hall, Su Mutian watched Bo Saixi's silhouette and grew increasingly melancholy.

After a long while, he finally made a difficult, agonizing choice that made life worse than death.

Su Mutian betrayed the principles of his past life, betrayed his faith in life, and thoroughly disappointed the masses.

Only children made choices. He wanted them all...

Ah Yin's soft little feet stepped into Su Mutian's palm. With curiosity and affection, she wiped his face.

But no matter how she rubbed, this layer of "black" skin would not come off.

Ah Yin said foolishly, "This isn't dirt? So you're a black person, hahaha."

Ah Yin instantly retreated two or three steps. Holding her stomach, she laughed at Su Mutian. "Are all you humans this black? So ugly!"

"I'm not black. This is called a mask!"

Su Mutian snapped out of his astonishment at the little girl's beauty and gritted his teeth. "You're not allowed to call me a black person. Black people are all bad people. I'm a good person!"

"No, you are a black person. You're so black—if you're not a black person, what are you?"

Ah Yin shook her head, completely unwilling to believe this strange fellow before her.

But his body felt so warm. His Soul Power could actually help stabilize her cultivation!

"I'm not a black person!"

Su Mutian said helplessly, "Really, believe me. You can call me a yellow person, but you can't call me a black person."

"Why?" Ah Yin tilted her head and asked.

"Because 'black person' is an insult in my hometown," Su Mutian said.

"I see. Then can I call you Ugly Brother?"

Su Mutian was about to cry.

Soul Beasts really did live for a Hundred Thousand Years, but their minds really had shrunk ten thousandfold.

Who was ugly?

You were a hundred thousand years older than me...

And who wanted to be your brother...

Call me Dad, hurry up.

(･᷅ὢ･᷄)

"This is called a mask. It can be taken off. I wear it because I don't want others to see what I look like, not because my skin is actually this color."

Su Mutian reached out and pinched Ah Yin's tender face. It truly felt like a soft mass of warm Soul Power.

The Ah Yin before him was actually a human form created by the Blue Silver King, not her true body!

"Really?"

Ah Yin walked over again, placed her hand on Su Mutian's face, and tugged at it twice, trying to find an opening to remove his mask.

But because she did not understand its construction, she failed even after quite a while.

Ah Yin said angrily, "Hmph, you liar. This is your color. You're black. You lied to a beast!"

"Clearly, your technique just isn't skilled enough!"

Su Mutian was angered by that stinky Ah Yin too.

He immediately flicked his fingers by his ear, tore off the mask in one pull, and met Ah Yin's huge Kazilan eyes with his own...

"Eh..."

Ah Yin tilted her head and stared at Su Mutian.

She seemed to want to say something, but the words caught in her throat.

Su Mutian also realized that he had been careless and had exposed his true appearance. He immediately wanted to put the mask back on.

But Ah Yin's little hand touched Su Mutian's face, and her own face blossomed with delight. "So you're a big sister!"

Su Mutian: "(╥_╥)"

The sadness was that huge.

He had thought Ah Yin would be shocked by his peerless beauty, start fawning over him, then completely change Ah Yin's course of fate, earn a ten-ring reward or something, and rise to the pinnacle of life.

But...

Why did she, just like Tang Po, take him for a big sister...

Why?!

Were all the good-looking, beautiful people in this world girls?

What kind of misunderstanding was this?!

Aaaah!

"I'm a brother!"

"And a handsome big sister with a voice like a male plant..."

Ah Yin's eyes sparkled with stars as she nearly became intoxicated. Her illusory spirit body pounced into Su Mutian's arms.

She suddenly shook her head. "No... Aunt Deer is still fighting the bad guys. Little Yin has to work hard and evolve, or the bad guys will hurt Little Yao and Aunt Deer~"

"Little Yin, don't be bewitched by a pretty big sister!"

At once, Su Mutian felt the warmth on his chest dissipate. Ah Yin vanished where she stood, turning into specks of blue light that returned to the plant's true body.

Those specks of blue light also tugged at Su Mutian's five soul rings, and even wisps of blue soul essence began seeping into his Clone Spirit.

Su Mutian admitted that he was frightened.

And at that very moment, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Flower Bud began to bloom, releasing faint bursts of fragrance throughout every Soul Beast in the Evolution Forest.

That flower bud was soft pink and radiant...

The Five-Colored Deer struggled to hold on as she said to Little Yao, "Little Yao, hold on a little longer. Your sister Ah Yin has already entered her transformation period!"

She turned around. "Tch! Flash Deer Five-Stage Whip!"

From those blunt, thick antlers, five whip-like strikes resembling lightning and shaped like deer rampaged wildly...

In an instant, Qian Jixun found an opening amid the onslaught. With a heavy sword strike, he pierced through her body...

Her deer core shattered like a glass bead, and her life force rapidly evaporated...
