The Soul Beast let out a roar, and its voice soon echoed throughout the Star Dou Forest. All the enraged Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts quieted down and returned to their territories. They knew that the strongest being in the Star Dou Forest, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Sky Azure Bull Python, had personally stepped in this time.
Tang Yu heard the Sky Azure Bull Python's voice too, but he didn't pay it much mind. He'd deal with it after he'd eaten his fill.
The Sky Azure Bull Python hadn't left the Lake of Life in a long time. Excited, the Titan Giant Ape followed after him.
The two enormous beasts set out from the Lake of Life and soon arrived where Tang Yu was. Tang Yu glanced back at the gigantic Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, then went back to eating his barbecue.
The Sky Azure Bull Python snorted. "Human! Your kind has spent all these years hunting us Soul Beasts—you're guilty beyond forgiveness. And now you're eating our flesh! Here, in the Star Dou Forest! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Tang Yu grinned. "Don't get so worked up. I only ate one Soul Beast. Don't you Soul Beasts live by eating those weaker than yourselves?"
"Kid, you've got some nerve. Do you even know what you're up against?" The Sky Azure Bull Python snorted, two streams of air blasting from its nostrils.
"Sure. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and another one that's eighty or ninety thousand years old. By the way, want some barbecue? You always eat raw meat, so you've probably never tried it cooked. I'm pretty good at this. I used to work as a barbecue chef." Tang Yu picked up a leg and held it out to the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The Sky Azure Bull Python: "..."
The Titan Giant Ape: "..."
The boss of the Star Dou Forest was standing right in front of you! Could you show some respect? Couldn't you at least look a little scared?!
The Titan Giant Ape pounded its chest, then lifted one foot and stomped toward Tang Yu.
Tang Yu flashed away and appeared high up in a tree, meeting the eyes of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
"If you don't want any, fine. No need to get mad. I'm Xiao Wu's friend, and you're Xiao Wu's little brothers. I don't want to hurt you." Tang Yu spoke as he took a bite of his barbecue.
The Sky Azure Bull Python froze for a moment. You don't want to hurt us? What made you so sure you could? It asked, "You're Xiao Wu's friend? How is she doing?"
The Titan Giant Ape had heard Tang Yu too. It immediately let out several excited roars.
"Xiao Wu's doing well in the human world. You don't need to worry," Tang Yu said.
The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded, then looked at Tang Yu. "Kid, you really are unusual."
"Really? I think so too. I've always felt I'm different from everyone else—one of a kind. Heh." Tang Yu scratched his head and chuckled.
The Sky Azure Bull Python smiled. "I mean, Xiao Wu couldn't have told you who she was. But you know her identity anyway. That's what makes you unusual."
"Huh, I didn't know cows were so smart!" Tang Yu said in surprise.
The Sky Azure Bull Python: "..."
The Sky Azure Bull Python's face darkened. "Why do I feel like you're insulting me in a roundabout way?"
"No, no, don't get the wrong idea. It's true that Xiao Wu didn't tell me who she was. You might not believe this, but I dreamed about her identity while I was asleep!" Tang Yu said with a perfectly straight face, talking complete nonsense.
