Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Playful Bibi Dong (Requesting Follow-Reads, Requesting Recommendation Tickets)

Star Dou Great Forest was the largest gathering place for soul beasts on Douluo Continent. It was home to countless varieties of soul beasts, ranging in age from ten years to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

At a small town outside the entrance to Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong walked cheerfully ahead while Gu Han followed behind her with a helpless look.

"Senior Sister, why did you insist that I come along too?"

"And didn't Teacher say he could just catch one for you? You only needed to wait. Why did you have to come all the way out here?"

Bibi Dong turned around and wagged a finger.

"Junior Brother, even though our identities are special, we can't just sit around waiting for others to bring us everything. Besides, we've grown up. It's time for us to come out and see the outside world."

Seeing Bibi Dong's solemn expression, Gu Han sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to come, but along the way, this girl had looked at this and that, spent several days playing here and several more there, as though she had completely forgotten about their actual business.

More importantly, whenever she went out to have fun, she insisted on dragging Gu Han along. A single outing would last the entire day.

It had been fine at first, but later on, Gu Han had genuinely started to fear it. He truly couldn't understand what was so fun about shopping. With that time, he might as well cultivate.

"Xiao Dongdong is right. You brat should learn more from Xiao Dongdong."

Hearing that sultry voice, the corner of Gu Han's mouth twitched. He looked toward one of the two people accompanying them this time. One was Yue Guan; the other wore a black robe and had barely uttered a word throughout the journey. If he had guessed correctly, that person was Gui Mei.

With two Soul Douluo accompanying them, there was no need to worry about safety as long as they did not enter the Core Region.

"Yes, Senior Yue Guan's lesson is correct. I really should learn properly from Senior Sister."

Gu Han couldn't be bothered to argue and wisely nodded in agreement.

"Junior Brother, don't be unhappy. Here, these are candied hawthorns I bought in Spirit City."

With a cheerful smile, Bibi Dong took two sticks of candied hawthorns from her Soul Tool. She kept one for herself and handed the other to Gu Han.

"Thanks."

Gu Han did not stand on ceremony. After thanking her, he took it and bit into it. It was sweet and sour, and tasted quite good.

"Junior Brother, Star Dou Great Forest is right ahead. Do you think we'll run into any cute little rabbits inside?"

Bibi Dong recalled the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit she and Gu Han had read about while studying in the library. The little rabbit's appearance had melted her heart at the time, and she had said that if she ever had the chance, she would definitely catch one and keep it as a pet.

"There will definitely be Soft Bone Charm Rabbits. This is Star Dou Great Forest, after all. Forget hundred-year and thousand-year ones—there might even be Hundred-Thousand-Year ones."

Gu Han nodded. He had no objections to Bibi Dong wanting to keep a little rabbit. As long as she was happy, that was fine. But compared with raising one, he preferred eating them.

After all, soul beast meat contained powerful energy and could strengthen the human body as well.

"Hahaha, what are you thinking, brat? A weak soul beast like a Soft Bone Rabbit would be rare enough if you found a thousand-year one, let alone a Hundred-Thousand-Year one. Even dreaming doesn't work like that."

Yue Guan couldn't help laughing. This brat was usually pretty smart, so how had he become foolish after one trip outside?

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit? Was he really not just saying it to amuse them?

"Uh, Senior Yue Guan, I was just saying. Besides, Star Dou Great Forest has existed for ages. Maybe there really is one?"

"And nothing is absolute."

Gu Han laughed awkwardly. He never argued over things that had no real meaning. Even if he truly convinced Yue Guan, so what?

Could they go to Lake of Life and catch one right now?

Come on, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year little rabbit..."

Perhaps because of the fixed impression that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were all enormous, Bibi Dong suddenly pictured an enormous pink rabbit in her mind. She immediately shook her little head and tossed the image away.

"Forget it. Pets are cuter when they're small."

"Senior Sister, are you hungry?"

Gu Han had not been hungry at first, but after thinking about soul beast meat, spending half the day shopping with Bibi Dong, and eating something sour, his stomach immediately began protesting.

"Not hungry."

The moment Bibi Dong finished speaking, her little stomach let out a rumble, and her face instantly reddened.

"Hehe, now I'm hungry."

"Hahaha, you two really are interesting."

Yue Guan couldn't help smiling kindly at the sight. Even Gui Mei, who had remained stern and silent throughout the journey, curled his lips into a faint smile.

"Senior Yue Guan, if you keep laughing, I'll never speak to you again."

Bibi Dong puffed up her cheeks, turned her head aside, and huffed adorably.

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh. I won't laugh."

Yue Guan immediately waved his hands repeatedly with a placating smile. Seeing Bibi Dong turn her little head away, he awkwardly looked to Gui Mei and Gu Han for help.

Gui Mei slightly turned his head away, indicating that he was not good with words.

"Ahem, Senior Sister, don't be angry. There should be a little tavern around here. Let's hurry and get something to eat. Your Junior Brother is so hungry he has no strength left."

Gu Han gathered his emotions slightly before speaking. With a single sentence, he both rescued Yue Guan from the awkward situation and gave Bibi Dong a way out, placing all the blame on himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's originally haughty little expression immediately turned into a smile.

"Fine, since Junior Brother says so, I'll forgive Senior Yue Guan. Let's hurry and eat."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong continued walking forward.

"Phew~"

Yue Guan immediately let out a sigh of relief, gave Gu Han a thumbs-up, and whispered, "You're still the impressive one, kid."

"It's nothing. Senior Sister is actually pretty easy to talk to, but you need to master a few little tricks."

Gu Han replied in an equally low voice. When it came to dealing with tsunderes, he had his own methods.

"What tricks?" Yue Guan asked curiously.

"Junior Brother, Senior Yue Guan, what are you two muttering about? Hurry up and catch up."

Bibi Dong turned around, frowning slightly at the two whispering behind her. Honestly, they were both hungry, yet they still had time to dawdle.

"Ah, Senior Sister, it's nothing. I was just asking Senior Yue Guan about flowers and plants." Gu Han had a flash of inspiration and reacted quickly.

"Ah, yes, yes. I was teaching this kid about flowers and plants." Yue Guan nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's hurry up. I'm getting a little hungry too."

Since Bibi Dong was hungry as well, she did not pursue the matter further. All she could think about was finding something tasty to eat.

Before long, the group arrived at a small tavern in town. The tavern was decorated with very old wooden furnishings and was not particularly luxurious.

"Waiter, bring out some of your signature dishes, along with two pots of wine and some fruit juice."

The moment Yue Guan sat down, he called out in his distinctly unique voice.

"Bring me a roast chicken."

Gui Mei spoke up right after him.

As for Bibi Dong and Gu Han, neither of them said anything. Yue Guan had already ordered everything that needed ordering, so the two of them only had to wait for the food.
