Suotuo City, First Meeting Tang San and Xiao Wu

"Could it also have some special effect that evolves my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Ning Rongrong suddenly thought of this possibility.

If it could... Slurp.

Ning Rongrong swallowed. If it really could, then she had to find Xu Fan.

No matter what price she had to pay, she would obtain that Immortal Herb. This might be her closest chance at reaching the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Xu Fan, Xu Fan, where exactly are you?" Ning Rongrong truly wanted to find Xu Fan, but she could not. All she could do was wait for him to come to her.

Heaven Dou City was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it was the most convenient place to wait for Xu Fan.

Perhaps he would come here soon.

"Sigh... my Immortal Herb." Ning Rongrong collapsed onto her bed. "If it comes to it, I'll go ask Crown Prince Brother."

Gu Yue Na set down the notebook in her hands and looked at Biji and Ziji before her.

She had originally thought she was the only one who had one, but the moment she went outside, she ran into Biji and Ziji. Seeing the notebooks in their hands left her somewhat stunned.

"What do you two think? Will Xu Fan be our enemy in the future?" Although Gu Yue Na could not be certain that Xu Fan was real, she could only treat it as real for now.

Biji slowly said, "Master, I don't think so. After all, Xu Fan can still be with the Blue Silver Emperor, which shows that he does not harbor such great hostility toward our Soul Beast Clan.

"More importantly, his future enemies are the God Realm."

"But there's also the Golden Dragon King and Master," Ziji said.

Biji shook her head. "How can that be the same? The Golden Dragon King and Master were enemies created by the God Realm. It's not as though Xu Fan wanted to make enemies of them."

Gu Yue Na nodded. "You're right. Even now, I still do not know what method Asura God and the others used to make the Golden Dragon King sacrifice himself.

"But that is a matter for the future. What matters now is finding Xu Fan. Xu Fan knows what will happen in the future, so we can prepare in advance. Perhaps there may even be a chance to cooperate."

Ziji's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Master, should I go out and look for Xu Fan? Bring him back directly?"

She had long wanted to go out and have some fun. It had already been several thousand years since the last time she left.

Besides, she was far too curious about Xu Fan now.

A human could actually grow powerful enough to fight the Five Great God Kings and even Master. Though he had perished alongside them, it still proved his strength.

Of course, she also wanted to spar with Xu Fan. The Dragon Clan possessed the strongest physical bodies among the Soul Beast Clan. She wanted to see whether her body was stronger, or Xu Fan's.

It was fortunate Xu Fan did not know what she was thinking. Otherwise, he would have killed himself on the spot.

Was that even something a human would say?

Gu Yue Na shook her head. "No rush. Let him grow a little more. We cannot disrupt his growth."

"Alright."

In a forest more than ten kilometers away.

A soul beast with brilliant golden fur lay sprawled on the ground.

She had three eyes, and the third was a vertical pupil with an eerily crimson glint.

She was none other than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Mmm... so this is the outside world? It looks pretty interesting."

Several days later.

The bustle of Suotuo City crashed over him.

Xu Fan had to pass through Suotuo City on his way to Sunset Forest. He had only stopped by to take a look, thinking he might run into Tang San.

Xu Fan swept his gaze over the numerous vendors in the city, then suddenly halted.

Two people had just entered the city not far ahead.

One was a boy of around twelve or thirteen, nearly 1.7 meters tall and only slightly shorter than Xu Fan.

He wore a neat light-blue tight outfit. His looks were rather ordinary, the sort that would not stand out if tossed into a crowd, but around his waist was a belt embedded with twenty-four warm jade stones.

At his side was a girl.

Her smooth black hair had been carefully braided into a long scorpion braid, its tip hanging below her calves.

She was slightly taller than the boy, with a slender, graceful figure. A small pink top tightly wrapped around her developing curves, while her waist was so slim it seemed it could be held in one hand, drawing frequent glances from passersby.

Tang San, Xiao Wu!

Surprise flashed through Xu Fan's heart.

His luck really was not bad.

He had just entered Suotuo City and immediately ran into the protagonists.

It seemed he could also go take a look at Shrek Academy.

Although he would not attend Shrek Academy, he was still somewhat curious.

At the very least, he had to see it once.

In any case, he would not give them a single Gold Soul Coin.

Not to mention, he was not even qualified to take part in Shrek Academy's entrance test yet.

Since Tang San was here, then Tang Hao... was highly likely nearby.

Xu Fan felt a faint chill run down his back.

Fortunately, Ah Yin had already been safely placed inside the Soul Tool, her aura concealed without the slightest leak.

As for himself, after completely absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, its life energy had long since been fully absorbed.

Coupled with the power of his Martial God Physique martial soul, it had directly dispersed the Blue Silver Emperor aura around his body.

There was not the slightest trace of Ah Yin's aura on him now.

Xu Fan had absolute confidence in that.

Therefore, Tang Hao would not notice him at all.

And he would not be in any danger.

Besides... Xu Fan sensed the twenty levels of Soul Power within him, and the corner of his lips rose slightly.

In the eyes of the Clear Sky Douluo, what difference was there between a twenty-level young Soul Master and the ordinary people filling these streets?

As long as he did not take the initiative to provoke Tang San, nor reveal anything related to Ah Yin before him, he would be no different from the countless masses. Perfectly safe.

With that thought, Xu Fan calmly shifted his gaze away from Tang San and Xiao Wu.

He continued with the crowd toward the hotels of Suotuo City.

In the distance, Tang San seemed to sense something. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked toward the flow of people.

"What's wrong, Xiao San?" Xiao Wu picked up a carrot and tilted her head as she asked.

"Nothing." Tang San withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "It seems... I sensed it wrong."

Whatever happened next between Tang San and Dai Mubai had nothing to do with Xu Fan.

With Xu Fan's current wealth, staying in a somewhat nicer hotel was no problem at all.

Xu Fan leaned against the bed.

"I can start making things up again. Right now, I need my second Soul Ring and the Herb Illustrated Handbook. The rest can be whatever.

"But should I reveal my location now?"

Xu Fan felt somewhat troubled.

There would certainly be benefits to exposing himself. He might get to meet quite a few characters from the Original work and confirm that they truly could see it, since that had only been Xu Fan's guess before.

Perhaps he could even cooperate with them and obtain resources.

But if he exposed himself, Xu Fan worried about his safety. What if some crazy woman like Bibi Dong came along? Wouldn't he have to live off a woman in the future?

Eh... maybe that would not be so bad.

Xu Fan felt that they would not fail to understand his value. Whether they locked him up or took him away, at least his life would be safe.

Besides, he had a system, and his strength improved quickly. Even if he were locked up, he could develop for a while and escape.

"Damn it, fortune comes from danger. I'm doing it!"
