After breakfast, the two hired a carriage and sped all the way toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Fortunately, Ah Yin had been staying in a small town near Suotuo City.
After all, she needed to cultivate among humans, drawing upon the warmth of human life.
Small towns were relatively safe. There were neither powerful experts nor unhinged people daring to provoke a Four-Ring Soul Sect Master like her, and the human atmosphere was strong enough as well.
In just a few days, the two arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the closest point in a straight line.
After finding a sparsely populated area, they sent out a message.
[Wu Xian: Arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Come quickly. 'You initiated location sharing']
Less than half an hour after the message was sent, a rumbling sound rose up. As the ground shook continuously, a Giant Ape more than ten meters tall, with powerful muscles, appeared before them.
Seated on the Giant Ape's shoulder was a graceful woman.
It was practically the Douluo version of Beauty and the Beast.
After arriving before the two, the woman leaped down from the Titan Giant Ape with a charming smile. "Hello, you two. Although this is our first official meeting, I still want to say that we have long shared a Spiritual Connection. Long time no see."
"Ah Rou is just as I imagined—a beauty." Seeing this woman who had died in so many different ways for the first time, Wu Xian could not help feeling deeply moved.
Ah Yin chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Sister Ah Rou is so pretty."
Ah Rou narrowed her eyes slightly and covered her mouth as she laughed. "I'll shamelessly accept the compliments from you two. Oh, right, this is my child, Er Ming." Then she looked at Er Ming and introduced them, "Er Ming, these two are Mother's friends. Sister Ah Rou and Younger Brother Wu Xian. Just call them Auntie and Uncle."
Er Ming scratched his head and said in a deep, muffled voice, "Uncle Wu Xian, Aunt Ah Yin, I'm Er Ming. Nice to meet you."
The moment those words came out, Wu Xian nearly lost it. Good lord, that was one hell of a generation jump.
But after thinking about it briefly, it was not wrong for him to be addressed that way.
With the Chat Group backing them, they were at the very least Supreme God Kings. Having Er Ming call him Uncle was already taking advantage of the kid.
"Alright, we can chat on the way. Let's head to the Sunset Forest now."
As Ah Rou spoke, she nodded toward Wu Xian.
Wu Xian looked at Er Ming and saw him nod. "I'm ready."
"Good. Don't resist." With that, Wu Xian placed his hand on Er Ming's furry body.
With a thought, Er Ming was directly stored inside the Domain Space.
Ah Yin and Ah Rou exchanged glances at the sight, unable to conceal the surprise in their eyes.
What an incredible Space Soul Tool. But they were only surprised for a moment and did not ask further questions.
Then, the three quickly set out again and headed for the Sunset Forest.
They had discussed it in the Group Chat early on: they would meet directly at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, then return to tour the Star Dou Great Forest after gathering the Immortal Herbs, if they had time.
However, Ah Rou was more anxious. After all, she had no idea what kind of major trouble Xiao Wu might stir up without her supervision.
Still, she had already instructed Da Ming to keep a closer eye on Xiao Wu, so there should not be any problems.
The three sold their carriage and traveled on horseback instead. The three horses they bought possessed Soul Beast bloodlines and could cover a thousand li in a day.
In only three days, they reached the vicinity of Heaven Dou City.
To avoid being discovered by Soul Douluos or Titled Douluos, none of them dared enter Heaven Dou City.
Instead, they took secluded country paths and made a detour to the Sunset Forest.
Before taking the detour, however, they sent Liu Erlong a summons.
[Wu Xian: Running a dungeon, one person still needed. Come to the Sunset Forest immediately.]
Liu Erlong, who had been absentmindedly watching the Chat Group, immediately replied upon seeing this.
[Liu Erlong: Got it. Wait for me, I'll be there soon.]
By the time the three reached the edge of the Sunset Forest, they spotted a spirited young girl in tight-fitting clothes squatting by the roadside in the distance, boredly counting the ants on the ground.
"Ahem, Liu Erlong." Only when Wu Xian softly called out beside her did she abruptly jump to her feet.
The moment she saw Wu Xian and the other two, her eyes lit up.
She asked in delighted surprise, "Wu Xian, Sister Ah Yin, Sister Ah Rou."
"That's right, it's us." Ah Rou nodded clearly, seeming rather fond of this lively young girl.
"Hehe, I'm Liu Erlong." Liu Erlong chuckled foolishly, unable to hide the joy in her heart.
Wu Xian was somewhat taken aback. The silly Liu Erlong of today was truly a completely different person from that Love Brain.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go."
"Alright, let's go!"
Liu Erlong echoed him and skipped toward the depths of the Sunset Forest.
However, the moment they entered the Sunset Forest, her expression immediately changed.
The silly look vanished from her face, replaced by vigilant caution as she surveyed the surroundings.
Even though they had entered the Sunset Forest, they still could not release the Titan Giant Ape.
There were still quite a few Soul Masters nearby hunting Soul Beasts. If they discovered it, it would likely cause plenty of unnecessary trouble.
However, although they could not summon the Titan Giant Ape, their group had another trump card.
That was Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.
To her, as long as it was Blue Silver Grass, it was one of her citizens. She could obtain any information she wanted from her citizens.
After finding a secluded spot, Ah Yin closed her eyes and began communicating with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.
As faint blue Soul Power spread from her body, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass all prostrated themselves before her.
Wu Xian and the others watched in amazement. The Blue Silver Emperor's ability was truly useful.
Before long, they found an area where they could sense alternating heat and cold even from the outer region.
Following the guidance of the Blue Silver Grass, the four headed straight for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye with a clear purpose.
After walking for some distance, their view suddenly opened up, revealing a valley below.
Within the valley was a small lake where red and blue alternated, glittering like gemstones.
The area around the lake was dotted with countless vibrant, colorful plants.
Seeing this miraculous sight, the four immediately realized that this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
They had not entered from the front, but had instead approached from behind the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, arriving directly above the valley.
The four did not jump down immediately. Instead, they looked around for a while to see whether they could find any Soul Beasts stationed there.
There was no helping it. The Blue Silver Grass near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was suppressed by the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and the Immortal Herbs, making it impossible to transmit any information. Thus, they could not determine whether there were any guardian Soul Beasts below.
But they could not simply drop Er Ming down there either. The ground below was full of Immortal Herbs; crushing even one would be heartbreaking.
Moreover, some Immortal Herbs were so dangerous that even Titled Douluos could not withstand touching them. They had no idea whether Er Ming's body could endure them.
