Lost the Ability to Reproduce
"It doesn't matter if there are other people around."
The Rabbit Girl talked to herself as she jumped into the hot spring where Tang San was. Her whole body relaxed, and she wasn't worried at all that they would hurt her.
[Does this guy... walk without making a sound?]
Zhou Qing didn't know when the Rabbit Girl had approached, and a sense of wariness arose within him. He asked, "Um, are you Abyss People?"
"Although I've become Fallen One, judging from my face shape, you shouldn't need to guess, right?" The Rabbit Girl scooped up a handful of water with both hands, splashed it on her face, washed the fur on her face, and then picked a red fruit from the edge of the bottle and took a bite.
Casual and lazy.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of self-confidence.
"But you speak the Soul Land Common Language quite fluently, don't you?" Tang San asked.
"Because I've seen a lot of Soul Master from outside, I learned it."
The Rabbit Girl spoke casually, her pale green eyes, though slightly dimmer than Riko's, scrutinizing Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Wang Sheng. She then turned to the other side and said, "It's quite rare for outside Explorer to come in groups. It seems that most Soul Master outside prefer to be alone. Even when they come in groups, most people are wary of each other and don't completely trust one another."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "There are always different kinds of people in the outside world."
However, he knew that what the Rabbit Girl in front of him said was true. Most members of the Soul Master and Adventure Group did not completely trust each other. Once the distribution of benefits was not equal, they would fight and kill each other.
"That's true."
The Rabbit Girl nodded rather cutely. "Among the Abyss People, there are also some who are wary of their companions and even use people for experiments."
Before Zhou Qing, Tang San, Wang Sheng, and the others could think further, the Rabbit Girl extended an invitation to them. "Would you like to come to my house? I'll also be inviting the other three people later. You should all know them, right? My house is quite big."
Zhou Qing: "..."
Tang San was even more speechless. He seriously suspected that the phrase "My house is quite big" was a common saying used by everyone in the Douluo Continent when inviting others to their homes!
But should we agree?
"No problem."
Just as Tang San was considering whether to agree, Zhou Qing agreed first.
"That's wonderful." The Rabbit Girl stretched, and as if she was happy, the whiskers on the white spots on her cheeks trembled.
However, she didn't go to Romantina and the others immediately. Instead, she soaked in the hot spring for half an hour and chatted with Zhou Qing and the others about the various plants on the Third Layer and the situation of the Fallen One. Only then did she climb out of the hot spring where Tang San was, push aside the leaves, and head to the hot spring where Xiao Wu and the others were.
"Qing Ge, why did you agree to her request?"
Only after the Rabbit Girl disappeared from sight did Tang San ask about the matter, puzzled by Zhou Qing's choice.
This Rabbit Girl is quite outgoing, and she's also Fallen One. What she's really thinking is unknown. Accepting her invitation rashly could very well be a trap.
"At least she doesn't look like a bad person."
Zhou Qing explained his reasoning, "Her languor is unique to the Abyss People, and she may not be as bad as we imagine. She may just like being around people. After all, the most terrifying thing inside the Abyss Depths is probably loneliness."
Tang San fell silent.
Loneliness is indeed extremely terrifying.
Ordinary people can endure loneliness, but living alone will inevitably lead to a state of mental madness. Even if he was often alone in his previous life, he will eventually be able to come into contact with people.
And what about humans living beneath the Abyss?
If luck is bad, he/she may never see anyone else except himself/herself.
"Of course, if she really has ulterior motives, we can obtain a Fallen One for research purposes using our methods."
Zhou Qing continued, "In my guess, the Fallen One is produced when the Martial Soul and the human flesh are completely fused during the ascension process, but the specific situation still needs to be tested on a real Fallen One."
Tang San's eyes lit up. "That makes sense! And we happen to have Hu Fangyuan's corpse in our hands!"
The Half-Human Half-Insect corpse of Hu Fangyuan and the Life form of the Fallen One are strikingly similar, aren't they?
Perfect for comparison!
The premise is that the Rabbit Girl really has any intentions towards them. Otherwise, if she is truly lonely and wants to talk to someone, then they naturally won't take action, and both sides will live in peace.
In the blink of an eye, another half hour had passed.
When everyone emerged from the hot spring, their skin was smooth and translucent, like jade.
For the Abyss People, or other Soul Master from the outside world, soaking in this Tree Hot Spring can only passively undergo the process of Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation, which is extremely slow and requires years of soaking to achieve the desired effect. However, for Zhou Qing and others, actively circulating their cultivation techniques can accelerate this process and greatly enhance the effect of Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation.
Therefore, after taking a bath, everyone's skin was not only smooth and radiant, but their Qi and Blood flowed more smoothly. In fact, Zhou Qing felt that his Soul Power had also increased slightly.
Within the ruins of the Abyss Depths, Soul Master can enhance their Soul Power without being restricted by external rules, which is why Zhou Qing was able to clearly perceive the increase in his Soul Power.
However, if he goes outside again, his Soul Power will still be suppressed at level 40. Only after obtaining Soul Ring will he be able to continue to increase his Soul Power.
"Everyone, follow me."
The Rabbit Girl, with her short legs, led the way, guiding the group to her house.
"You took a bath with her, didn't you?"
Romantina looked at Zhou Qing with an expression as if he were scum, "What a pervert!"
"Huh? She's a woman?"
Zhou Qing pretended to be stupid.
"I didn't see it either," Wang Sheng imitated.
Same as above.
Tang San was the last to react to this matter, but not knowing what reason to give, he simply echoed the first two, hoping that the two women would not dwell on such a trivial matter.
"Really?"
Xiao Wu looked doubtful.
"As real as gold!" Tang San didn't want the girl to suspect him of being a pervert.
"That doesn't seem right."
Zhou Qing's eyes were serious. "Tang San, the Rabbit Girl was in the same hot spring as you. How could you not know whether she was male or female?"
"Third Brother, don't worry, just say it. We won't laugh at you," Wang Sheng joked.
Tang San took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Qing who was already secretly laughing, took another deep breath, and sighed, "I'm sorry, as a gentleman, it's impossible for me to complete the task you two have given me."
"Oh my god! She's gone astray! Tang San!"
Zhou Qing grabbed the righteous Tang San, glared at him, and said angrily, "Tell me, who taught you to say that? I'm going to teach him a lesson for setting a bad example for the child!"
"Isn't that what you taught me by example?" Tang San rolled his eyes.
"Alright, you two stop arguing." The Rabbit Girl turned around and said, "After being transformed, I no longer care about gender, and I've lost all ability to reproduce..."
