Xiao Wu's Whereabouts

After a day of classes, Su Yu returned to the Crown Prince's Residence.

The moment he stepped through the gates, a guard appeared and instructed Su Yu to head straight to the crown prince's study.

"Brother Xue, did you need something from me?"

Qian Renxue smiled. "Guard She has already told me everything that happened during your spirit beast hunt."

"Xiao Yu, you have a good eye. The soul skill Aornia obtained is quite good as well."

Su Yu said, "You flatter me, Brother Xue. I was just lucky."

"No need to be modest. Haven't you already planned out her first five soul rings? It can't all be luck, can it?"

"Haha, well..." Su Yu gave two dry laughs, unsure how to respond.

Qian Renxue changed the subject. "We can discuss that later. Right now, there is something I need your help with."

"Huh?"

Seeing Su Yu's puzzled expression, Qian Renxue smiled calmly and revealed her plan.

"What? Use my soul skill to search for the whereabouts of a Shapeshifting Spirit Beast?!"

Su Yu immediately realized that Qian Renxue was trying to confirm Xiao Wu's whereabouts!

In his previous life, that hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit had hit him point-blank with her ultimate in his own home.

Now that he had been reborn, he had to strike first—kill the beast and take its ring and bone.

Send me fifty and I'll tell you my complete revenge plan...

After running through a million words' worth of plot in his mind, Su Yu finally put on an ignorant expression and asked, "Brother Xue, what is a Shapeshifting Spirit Beast?"

Qian Renxue froze for a moment before explaining, "Xiao Yu, you should know that spirit beasts are classified by age, from ten years at the lowest to a hundred thousand years at the highest."

Seeing Su Yu nod, Qian Renxue continued, "Once a spirit beast reaches a hundred thousand years, it only has a thousand years of lifespan left."

"Besides that, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts have a second path available to them."

"They can take human form and live a new life!"

"After taking human form, they are guaranteed to possess Innate Full Soul Power. With such talent, they might be able to take a chance and attempt to break through into that legendary realm!"

"Even so, after taking human form, they still retain the characteristics of spirit beasts."

"In other words, killing a Shapeshifting Spirit Beast can likewise yield a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."

"Furthermore, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are guaranteed to produce soul bones..."

"After taking human form, they lose their cultivation and become extremely weak, yet they can still drop soul rings and soul bones. It is practically a windfall from heaven!"

At this point, Qian Renxue's tone carried a hint of temptation. "Xiao Yu, you are a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, a future pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"If we truly manage to capture this Shapeshifting Spirit Beast, we can keep it captive until you have grown strong enough..."

Honestly, Su Yu did not have many thoughts about Xiao Wu.

The Brass Book's soul skills could not be changed. At most, Su Yu could obtain the skills from Xiao Wu's soul bone—Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.

Of those two skills, only Teleportation held any appeal for Su Yu.

After all, who would not want a useful travel skill as a soul bone ability?

As for Invincible Golden Body... heh.

Therefore, to Su Yu, the soul ring and soul bone of a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit were merely better than nothing.

If he had a choice, he truly would not think much of Xiao Wu's soul ring or soul bone.

What was more, Qian Renxue had proposed this herself and had even painted him a grand picture. Su Yu had neither reason nor ability to refuse.

After finishing his thoughts, Su Yu patted his chest. "Don't worry, Brother Xue. Leave this to me."

With that, Su Yu summoned his martial soul, opened it, and activated his soul skill.

As he activated the skill, he grumbled inwardly.

He had originally thought showing off his abilities would earn him attention. Now, not only had he gained attention, he had also become heavily relied upon...

If that was the case, he needed to be even more cautious about the Immortal Herbs.

If Qian Renxue learned of the Immortal Herbs' existence, she would definitely try using this method to find them too.

Then whether he would get to consume any Immortal Herbs would be another matter entirely!

Su Yu suppressed his thoughts and caused words to quietly form on the Brass Book.

[Those who violate the following rules shall be punished!]

[1. Breaching the contract]

Once the rule appeared, Qian Renxue took out a contract she had prepared beforehand.

[1. Party A must pay Party B one Gold Soul Coin;]

[2. Party B must inform Party A of the Shapeshifting Spirit Beast's current location.]

[Party A:][Party B: Chi Xue]

Seeing the faint look of death on Porcupinefish Douluo's face, Su Yu nearly burst out laughing.

Qian Renxue gave a light cough, handed the contract to Su Yu, and said, "Come, Xiao Yu. Cooperate with Guard Thorn."

Su Yu nodded, then signed his name.

Afterward, Su Yu took out a Gold Soul Coin and handed it to Chi Xue.

Following Qian Renxue's prior instructions, Chi Xue accepted the Gold Soul Coin and said, "Heaven Dou Empire."

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Hearing the whipping sounds, Qian Renxue looked confused.

According to the intelligence provided by the system, Tang San should have encountered that Shapeshifting Spirit Beast within the next few days, most likely in Notting City.

Now, Tang San and Tang Hao were like stray dogs.

Demon Bear Douluo had also led people through Notting City several times. How could they still fail to find that Shapeshifting Spirit Beast?

Chi Xue was equally stunned. In the young master's original plan, he was supposed to test several cities in Fasinuo Province and the Heaven Dou Empire. He had not expected to fail right out of the gate!

Chi Xue gritted his teeth, shut his eyes, and said, "Star Luo Empire!"

The next moment, three invisible slashes came from all directions and struck the Soul Power barrier around Chi Xue.

Chi Xue's eyes widened enormously, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

It was not the Heaven Dou Empire, nor was it the Star Luo Empire. Then where else could it be?

Chi Xue's voice trembled slightly. "Star Dou Forest?"

This time, there was no reaction at all. The invisible punishment did not descend.

Star Dou Forest, Mixed Area.

A gigantic ape, over seven meters tall at the shoulder and packed with mountain-like muscles, was rushing along at high speed. Yet its running posture was incredibly strange, as though it were holding some fragile treasure in its hands.

Roar!

As the roar faded, a lively young woman's voice sounded from the giant ape's palm.

"You're asking why Sister Xiao Wu suddenly came back?"

"Hmph~ Just mentioning it makes me angry. In order to blend into human society safely, Sister Xiao Wu deliberately chose some remote backwater."

"But..."

At this point, the voice took on a trace of lingering fear.

"There were actually Title Douluo there! Four of them!"

"Sister Xiao Wu has decided! Next time, she'll go somewhere even more remote!"

"It's fine if cultivation is slower. Safety comes first!"

Roar!

"Stay in Star Dou Forest and not go out?"

"That won't do!"

"If Sister Xiao Wu doesn't interact with humans, she won't be able to grow stronger, and she won't be able to avenge Mother!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu's large round eyes reddened slightly. "Er Ming, you don't need to persuade Sister Xiao Wu anymore! Sister Xiao Wu has made up her mind!"

"I'm only back for a few days this time. After a while, I'll head out again—to the human world!"
