Lake of Life

Tang Yu shook his head.

"Then who are you trying to fool here? Do you really think I'm stupid? But if you don't want to say it, forget it; it's not like I'm dying to know anyway," the Sky Azure Bull Python said, rolling his eyes at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu chuckled and then said, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading off then."

As he spoke, Tang Yu prepared to leave, but the Sky Azure Bull Python immediately spoke up, "Wait, do you want to come over to our place for a bit? You can head back with Xiao Wu when she arrives tomorrow."

Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I'm actually quite interested in the Lake of Life. Can I drink the water from the Lake of Life?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python laughed and said, "Haha, if you want to drink it, I don't mind. It's all my bathwater anyway. Kid, get up on my head."

Tang Yu jumped onto the head of the Sky Azure Bull Python with a face full of black lines; he had truly forgotten that the Sky Azure Bull Python lived in the Lake of Life.

The moment he realized he had just asked to drink someone's bathwater, Tang Yu immediately covered his face. It was just too embarrassing.

Immediately after, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape headed back toward the core area. The ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the vicinity saw the two big bosses leaving and assumed the human who had been eating soul beasts had kicked the bucket, so they all went back to doing their own things.

Star Dou Forest Core Area

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape brought Tang Yu to the edge of the Lake of Life, and Tang Yu slid down from the Sky Azure Bull Python's body without standing on ceremony.

The Sky Azure Bull Python looked at Tang Yu and said, "You kid really are fearless."

"Why would I be afraid of you? Who knows, maybe we'll all be family in the future," Tang Yu said, dusting off his backside.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were stunned. The Sky Azure Bull Python hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that Xiao Wu... likes you?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. I have a girlfriend. It's my younger brother; Xiao Wu likes him. My brother, Xiao Wu, and my girlfriend—the four of us have been together since we were six," Tang Yu explained.

The Sky Azure Bull Python lowered his head in a somewhat depressed manner, and the Titan Giant Ape beat his chest in grief. Tang Yu smiled when he saw this; even a fool could tell they had been secretly in love with Xiao Wu all along.

Neither of them was any less powerful than Xiao Wu, yet they were willing to act as her younger brothers. If it weren't for the fact that they both liked Xiao Wu, Tang Yu wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

"What kind of person is your brother?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked, looking at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu rubbed his chin and said, "He has the potential to become a god, and he is intelligent and calm—he could be a great commander! But when it comes to matters between men and women, he's as dense as a block of wood."

"The potential to become a god, you say... You kid are too hard to figure out. I believe you, but regardless of whether he becomes a god or some commander, if we ever find out he's bullying Xiao Wu, we will kill him even if it means exposing ourselves to all of humanity!" As he spoke, a powerful killing intent instantly erupted from the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Tang Yu said, "Rest assured, he won't bully Xiao Wu, and he treats her better than words can describe."

"That's good. After you go back, you should still warn him not to let Xiao Wu suffer even the slightest grievance!" the Sky Azure Bull Python said.

Tang Yu nodded. The Sky Azure Bull Python suddenly chuckled and said, "Kid, didn't you want to drink the water from the Lake of Life? Drink up, all you want!"

Tang Yu: "...Drink my foot. But I can't come here for nothing; I'll take a bottle back for them to drink. I'm doing this for their own good; drinking this is good for the body."

With that, Tang Yu smiled and walked to the edge of the lake to fill his bottle with the lake water.
