Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Secret Talk with Xiao Wu

"This is just a special feature of my method of cultivating Soul Power; it allows me to intercept the elemental attributes contained in Soul Beast."

Zhou Qing rubbed his neck, stretched his shoulders, and even jumped around a bit to make sure he was alright before explaining, "My First Spirit Ring came from the Moo Spring Ox, retaining the 'earth' element. My Second Spirit Ring came from the Dancing Winter Rabbit, extracting the 'water' element..."

"What did you say? A rabbit? A Dancing Winter Rabbit!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted Zhou Qing angrily, her eyes filled with hostility, "Your Second Spirit Ring actually comes from a rabbit? Are you kidding me!"

"Um... is that not allowed?" Zhou Qing could actually understand Xiao Wu's feelings. After all, she was a rabbit in human form, although not Dancing Winter Rabbit, but technically a distant relative she had never met...

In fact, the Dancing Winter Rabbit is quite different from the Soft Bone Rabbit. The Dancing Winter Rabbit has long limbs and is good at running, while the Soft Bone Rabbit has shorter forelimbs and longer thighs.

At that moment, Zhou Qing developed a strong interest in the physique of the Hundred-Thousand-Year- old Soft Bone Charm Rabbit and wanted to know what it looked like.

The fact that the Soft Bone Lock was able to become Soul Skill in the original work suggests that it might not only be because Xiao Wu's mother modified the human body after transforming, but also because the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit at the Hundred-Thousand-Year could use their different physiques from ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit to perform the Soft Bone Lock skill.

"Sure! Why not?"

Xiao Wu's sarcastic Xiao Wu interrupted Zhou Qing's thoughts, "Who would have thought you could be so cruel, capable of harming even a cute rabbit?"

"Well, the Dancing Winter Rabbit isn't as cute as the Soft Bone Rabbit."

These words immediately calmed Xiao Wu down considerably, but she was still sulking. She made a face at Zhou Qing and ran away.

She clearly needs to calm down.

She has now realized the difference between herself after transforming and a true Soul Beast —transformation means shedding her identity as Soul Beast and can only move forward on the path of being human.

Although Xiao Wu realized that the bloodline of the Soft Bone Rabbit had returned after the Secondary Refinement of the Soul Ring, it did not change the fact that she had become human.

Transformation—

Irreversible.

The only two things she can currently control are using her original cultivation level to condense Soul Ring in order to break through the bottleneck of the Soul Master realm; and burning all of her cultivation level to transform into Soul Ring or Soul Bone when necessary.

Now that she has chosen to become human, she shouldn't care about the future of Soul Beast, or even the future of Soul Beast of the same race.

Because she is now a human, not Soul Beast.

However, she was, after all, born from among the Soul Beast, and was familiar with the hunting of Soul Beast by Soul Master... especially since Zhou Qing had hunted one of her distant cousins: Dancing Winter Rabbit.

On a psychological level, she can now accept Zhou Qing and Tang San hunting other non-rabbit-type Soul Beast, but rabbits—

Back in Dorm Seven, Xiao Wu lay on her bed, staring blankly into space. She thought she might need more time to accept this situation...

"Not bad."

Zhou Qing deliberately revealed the type of Soul Beast from which his Second Spirit Ring came, both to ensure his sincerity and to observe Xiao Wu's attitude.

Xiao Wu's behavior was slightly unexpected by Zhou Qing. She didn't act unreasonably; instead, she seemed to be silently accepting everything.

Are you reminiscing about the feeling of being held by Xiao Wu's arms?

However, Romantina abruptly interrupted Zhou Qing's thoughts and winked at him playfully, "What a lewd man."

"If you want to call me vulgar, then please call me a boy, thank you." Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, then stopped arguing with Romantina and told her to go find Xiao Wu and help her complete her Second Spirit Ring training.

"Yes, yes! You really know how to order people around." Romantina squinted her eyes and pursed her lips, showing her great interest, and headed towards Dorm Seven.

What brings you here?

Dorm Seven, Xiao Wu saw Romantina walk to the bedside and got up to ask her a question.

"Of course, it's to assist you in completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement." Romantina's tone was slightly mischievous.

This made Xiao Wu realize instantly that the person speaking in front of her was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, not Romantina.

"You figured it out? Come with me to the Back Mountain." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned and left.

Xiao Wu hurriedly caught up.

"Shall we talk?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not immediately assist Xiao Wu in Secondary Soul Ring Refinement using Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing. "Romantina's consciousness was temporarily obscured by me; she could neither see nor hear anything outside."

"What should we talk about?"

Xiao Wu didn't feel that she had much to talk about with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Perhaps her father, Xiao Wu, did indeed die at the hands of those Ferocious Beasts in the Core Area Star Dou Great Forest, but she would have to wait until she became stronger in the future before she could confront those Ferocious Beasts and find out the truth.

"I mainly want to discuss with you the matter of your two younger brothers."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled, "You, a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit, were able to take over the core lake area while Di Tian and the others were pressuring me to release my Primordial Energy, thanks to the protection of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, right?"

"So what if it is?"

The Soft Bone Rabbit's strength is indeed inferior to that of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, but Xiao Wu is unwilling to admit this. After all, in front of her, Da Ming and Er Ming will always be her younger brothers.

"It's nothing, I just hope that when we need to deal with Ferocious Beast in the future, these two can lead the way." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rubbed his hands together, grinning in an extremely lewd way, "I wanted to discuss this with you in advance."

"Okay." Xiao Wu waved her hand dismissively, after all, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smile using Romantina's mouth was even more lewd Romantina herself.

As for Da Ming and Er Ming act as guides?

Simple!

Xiao Wu was certain that Da Ming and Er Ming, like herself, wanted to teach those guys who had caused all three of them to feel their Core Area a lesson.

Da Ming and Er Ming were both saved by her when they were young, and they grew up together. It was impossible for them to be familiar with Di Tian.

"Also, I'm just reminding you."

Tian Meng's eyes turned serious. "When a soul Beast Transformation human form, it is a betrayal of Soul Beast. You should know this yourself. Di Tian may be reasonable enough to give you a chance to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and live in this human world, perhaps because the Sky Azure Bull Python has Dragon Clan blood. But other Ferocious Beast may not be so. They will attack you the moment they see you!"

After all, before you fully condense the cultivation of the Soul Beast into the first six Soul Rings, eating you is equivalent to refining the energy of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

When we helped Tang San obtain his Second Spirit Ring, we went to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although it was only on the outskirts, I sensed the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear moving... This kind of Soul Beast, even after a hundred years, wouldn't appear in such an outlying area. The Xiong Jun cherishes his cub with his direct bloodline.

Xiao Wu tensed up. "You suspect that Xiong Jun is looking for me?"

"Who knows?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled. "But I can give you a suggestion: it's best not to return to the Star Dou Great Forest before you obtain your Seventh Soul Ring."

Xiao Wu: "..."

"Oh, right."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm brought up another matter, saying, "You'd better find an opportunity to tell Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina about your true identity."

"Why?" Xiao Wu asked nervously. "What will they think of me if they find out I'm Soul Beast Transformation?"

"How should I put it? Although there is a lot of deceit and treachery among humans, the most important thing in being a person is sincerity."

After thinking for a while, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally shared her opinion. "At the very least, only when you truly open your heart to them will they truly consider your needs."

"You may not be able to tell, but as an observer, I can see it very clearly. They have two different attitudes toward you and toward Romantina."

"Is the main reason me? No! Even if Romantina has her flaws, the three of them know each other quite well. Only you are still an unknown to them, so they will instinctively be wary of you."

Xiao Wu's eyes were full of doubt.

Why do Zhou Qing and Tang San have different attitudes toward her and Romantina?

They are definitely different!

After all, the way they looked at Romantina was mostly disdainful.

But it doesn't seem like they're trying to protect themselves at all, does it?

Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew that Xiao Wu didn't take it seriously, so she continued, "I haven't had much contact with Tang San, so I don't know him very well; as for Romantina, although she has some mental issues, she's a good person and has strong willpower; only Zhou Qing, I've spent the most time with him and know him the best. Although he's quite calculating in his dealings with people, he's sincere to his friends, which makes him very likable."

Xiao Wu recalled Zhou Qing's past behavior, which included childish actions and impulsive movements, but also, as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, extreme sincerity.

Upon closer reflection, Xiao Wu realized that Zhou Qing's attitude towards her was indeed quite different from his attitude towards Romantina.

He was more casual with Romantina, hardly having to worry about anything; with himself, except when she might be impatient, he would speak more recklessly, but usually, he hesitated to speak to himself several times, as if he needed to reorganize his words before he could say them.

As for Tang San... he seemed to show respect to Romantina and to himself, but it wasn't very obvious.

But this is enough to prove Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's statement:

Zhou Qing was not as sincere to himself as Romantina.

But--

"My identity as Soul Beast Transformation has been exposed. What will they think of me?" This is what Xiao Wu is most worried about.

"How they see me is how they will see you."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that Xiao Wu's worries were completely unnecessary. "At most, Zhou Qing might develop a stronger desire to study you, perhaps because he's curious about how a rabbit can transform into a human... or something like that?"

"Anyway, after he was able to refine the Soul Ring Secondary Refinement, he probably wouldn't be interested in the Soft Bone Rabbit's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Xiao Wu was speechless, and was about to retort when she heard Sky Dream Ice Silkworm say:

"Besides—"

"I think with his intelligence, he probably already guessed your true identity. He's just waiting for the day when you figure it out and tell him and them."

Xiao Wu: "..."
