You're a Good Person
After confirming there were no Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts nearby to cause trouble, Gui Mei made the first move. However, the sensitivity of a 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast had exceeded his expectations.
As soon as Gui Mei approached, Ah Rou seemed to have sensed him like a spider sensing danger. She rushed into the wooden hut, grabbed Xiao Wu, and sprinted toward the depths of the forest.
Seeing that they had been exposed, Bibi Dong and Yue Guan stopped hiding and charged over from a distance.
Titled Douluo were astonishingly fast, but this was the Star Dou Forest, and Bibi Dong and the others were unfamiliar with the terrain. Weaving through the dense woods, they couldn't catch up with Ah Rou right away.
Of course, it was only a matter of time.
"Xiao Wu, we'll split up in a moment. I'll lead them away. Go find Da Ming and Er Ming!" Ah Rou said.
"Mom, they..."
"Do as I say!" Ah Rou said sternly.
If there had only been one Titled Douluo, she would have been confident she could shake him off. But there were three behind her!
"Your Holiness, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast territory lies just ahead," Yue Guan sent telepathically.
"If they get in there, we won't be able to catch them."
They were currently in the outermost Mixed Area, where Soul Beasts ranging from ten years old to ten thousand years old could be found. But once they entered the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast territory, even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare move through it recklessly.
And if they got caught up in a fight, they wouldn't be able to keep the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, from getting away once it arrived.
"Gui Mei, stop them!" Bibi Dong ordered.
At her command, Gui Mei accelerated again and raced ahead of Ah Rou.
Seeing this, Ah Rou changed direction and plunged into the bushes.
"Where did she go?" Gui Mei exclaimed, stunned.
Could this Humanoid Spirit Beast actually teleport?
"She went underground!" Bibi Dong sent telepathically.
How could a Humanoid Spirit Beast brave enough to live in the Mixed Area have no preparations at all?
Just as Bibi Dong was about to release her little spiders in pursuit, Ah Rou appeared again in a nearby patch of grass.
"After her!"
"..."
After Bibi Dong and the others had gone some distance, Xiao Wu peeked out from another patch of grass, held in Nan Feng's arms. Tears filled her eyes as she watched Ah Rou disappear into the distance.
"Mom..."
"To be honest, I mean you no harm."
Nan Feng returned to human form and lifted Xiao Wu up from behind.
Seeing the human face before her, Xiao Wu was stunned.
"Don't move, or I'll turn you back into a rabbit," Nan Feng said.
Xiao Wu stared blankly at Nan Feng. She seemed so nervous that she had even forgotten to struggle.
Nan Feng didn't linger. He headed in the direction Bibi Dong and the others had gone.
Ah Rou had deliberately chosen an easy route to follow. That way, even if Bibi Dong still wanted to go after Xiao Wu, she couldn't split up from the others. After all, finding a Soul Beast in the Star Dou Forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and the others had caught up with Ah Rou.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Ah Rou stopped running. "If you want my Spirit Ring and Soul Bone, dream on!"
She took one last look in the direction Xiao Wu had fled, then closed her eyes.
"She's going to self-destruct!" Yue Guan cried anxiously.
"You won't get the chance!" Bibi Dong instantly completed her Soul-Eater Spider Emperor possession and shot toward Ah Rou.
"Invincible Golden Body!" A golden light flashed over Ah Rou's body as her Soul Power continued to surge and gather.
"Eternal Wound!" The two jade-green scythes behind Bibi Dong rose together. Ignoring Ah Rou's defenses, they plunged into her body.
Devour activated, and the Soul Power Ah Rou had gathered to self-destruct instantly dissipated.
"If you hadn't transformed into human form, I really wouldn't have been able to stop you. What a pity." Bibi Dong sighed softly as the remaining four spider legs glinted coldly.
"Don't kill the rabbit!"
Nan Feng ran over with Xiao Wu in his arms.
"Xiao Wu!" Ah Rou's eyes filled with despair. Now, she couldn't even self-destruct.
"Mom!" At the sight of Ah Rou pierced through the chest by Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu snapped out of her stupor and struggled in Nan Feng's arms.
Nan Feng loosened his hold, and Xiao Wu landed on the ground before running toward Ah Rou.
Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feng in confusion. "What do you mean by this?"
"I want to raise a bunny," Nan Feng replied.
Bibi Dong's eyelid twitched. "You can have the little one. The big one is mine."
"What if I want both?" Nan Feng asked.
"..."
Bibi Dong pulled the green spider leg from Ah Rou's chest and turned to walk toward Nan Feng.
Seeing the tense situation, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance.
Were they actually about to fight?
"Then you'll have to help me find another one," Bibi Dong said, putting away her Soul-Eater Spider Emperor.
"Deal!" Nan Feng walked over to the badly wounded Ah Rou and pulled Xiao Wu out of the way.
He patted Ah Rou on the head. The fatal wound inflicted by Eternal Wound healed at a visible speed.
"You..." Ah Rou was stunned.
Nan Feng said nothing. As Ah Rou and Xiao Wu stared at him in bewilderment, his figure shifted, and he transformed into the Holy Spirit Cat from earlier.
"Don't rush to curse me," Nan Feng said.
"You saved me once just now, and now I've saved you once. We're even. If you curse me, I'll turn your daughter into a pig."
"The ugliest kind!"
Spirit City.
Saintess Hall.
After Bibi Dong became Pope, she was busy with work and had to make time for cultivation as well. The place had therefore become Nan Feng's territory.
"I know you have a lot of questions," Nan Feng said, sitting across from Ah Rou and Xiao Wu.
"For example, why I..." He broke off with a cough.
Nan Feng coughed loudly twice, interrupting Xiao Wu, whose little mouth had been busy stuffing food into it.
"Could you try to look a little more serious? Could you show me some respect?"
Xiao Wu froze, stopped what she was doing, and sat up straight. Her clear, watery eyes fixed intently on Nan Feng.
"I know! Because you're a good person!"
Nan Feng's eyelid twitched.
Seriously, how had she come to that conclusion?
"Be serious. Let's talk," Nan Feng said.
"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded earnestly.
"Why... did you save me?" Ah Rou asked, puzzled.
"So you can keep making your life shine," Nan Feng replied.
Ah Rou was stunned. "What does that mean?"
"Do you know where Soul Beasts and Soul Masters come from?" Nan Feng picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
"I..." Xiao Wu gazed at Nan Feng, eager to have a taste.
Nan Feng's eyelid twitched, and he poured Xiao Wu a cup as well.
This little rabbit really had no sense of caution. Even now, she still thought of him as a cat.
Or perhaps Xiao Wu had mistaken him for an example of a Holy Spirit Cat that had successfully transformed into human form and begun cultivation anew!
"This brings us to your stupid ancestor." Nan Feng lifted his teacup and began telling the story of an idiot.
From the Dragon God's birth and the Divine Dragon Realm, to the Dragon God's fall and the Dragon God Bloodline aura spreading across Douluo Planet. The living beings on Douluo Planet were influenced by it and gradually evolved into Soul Beasts and humans with Martial Souls.
As for the Star Dou Forest, that was where half of the Dragon God—the Silver Dragon King—had fallen. Her power spread through the area, and over tens of thousands of years, it gradually formed the Star Dou Forest.
