Heaven Dou Empire, Martial Soul Exchange Meeting

Sensing Xiao Wu's movements.

Ye Xuan simply reached out to stroke her head and pat her back.

But soon.

What Xiao Wu said sent a jolt of alarm through his heart.

"Lord Ye Xuan, that bad woman has returned."

Sure enough.

Before Xiao Wu's voice had even faded.

Bibi Dong appeared directly before them.

"Master."

With Xiao Wu in his arms, Ye Xuan could not bow and could only nod to show his respect.

"Your Martial Soul seems to have resonated with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone inside this little rabbit?"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ye Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"That is correct, and because of this, my Martial Soul seems to have undergone some changes."

As he spoke.

Ye Xuan brought out his Pokeball Martial Soul.

Having resonated with Xiao Wu, it had not only changed color but was now branded with a moon pattern.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to bring me such a surprise so quickly."

Bibi Dong walked forward slowly, and upon seeing her approach, Xiao Wu instinctively assumed a combat stance, blocking the path in front of Ye Xuan.

"Heh, what an interesting little rabbit."

Watching Xiao Wu display hostility toward her, a faint, elusive smile touched the corners of Bibi Dong's lips.

But.

Perhaps knowing she could not kill Xiao Wu, she did not lay a hand on her this time.

"One month from now, the Heaven Dou Empire will host a Martial Soul Exchange Meeting. All major factions will send representatives, and I will have Yue Guan take you and your senior sister to attend."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words.

Ye Xuan's body suddenly stiffened.

A Martial Soul Exchange Meeting?

What kind of scheme was this woman, Bibi Dong, cooking up?

He was just a little brat who had only just absorbed his first Soul Ring!

"Yes, Teacher. This disciple will certainly not disgrace the prestige of Martial Soul Hall."

Although he was still somewhat bewildered.

The most pressing matter was to agree to her request first.

Hearing his response.

A faint smile appeared on Bibi Dong's lips.

"Spend this month preparing well, and remember what you just said."

With those words.

Bibi Dong's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

Time flew by, and the month passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as he had suspected.

This Martial Soul Exchange Meeting was essentially a platform for various factions to show off their prodigies.

It was held on average only once every three years.

The participating prodigies ranged in age from twelve to fifteen.

Lake Heart Island.

Ye Xuan's courtyard was in a state of total disarray.

Pits and craters were everywhere, and it was difficult to even find a place to stand.

Inside the room.

Ye Xuan was soaking in a specially prepared medicinal bath, while Xiao Wu was busy moving about.

Adding hot water, massaging his neck.

"Xiao Wu, your ultimate move, the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw, is really hard to learn. I've been practicing for nearly a month and can only barely manage to pull it off."

Hearing Ye Xuan's complaint, a light chuckle escaped Xiao Wu's lips.

"Heehee, I already said this is my ultimate move. If it were that easy to learn, how could it still be called an ultimate move?"

Compared to a month ago.

Xiao Wu had now gradually adapted to life here.

Although she still felt fear and anger whenever she saw Bibi Dong.

She had come to terms with the fact that she couldn't defeat the other party for the time being.

She simply decided to wait until she was stronger before dealing with this "old woman."

Just as Ye Xuan was still undergoing his medicinal bath.

The door to his room was pushed open directly.

"Ah--!!"

After a delicate cry, Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu finally saw who had entered.

"Hmm? Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Seeing Hu Liena standing at the doorway covering her eyes.

But not covering them very thoroughly.

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes at her, his face full of speechlessness.

"You... what are you two doing?!"

Hu Liena's voice was filled with shame, anger, and panic.

Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu were left with question marks all over their heads.

"Huh? I'm just taking a medicinal bath, aren't I? Didn't Teacher prepare one for you, Senior Sister?"

"No! I mean, when you're taking a medicinal bath, why is Xiao Wu here!!"

⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

"Ah, this... Senior Sister, you should really read fewer romance novels. Xiao Wu is my best companion, and I didn't ask her to bathe with me either."

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Xiao Wu seemed to understand what Hu Liena was thinking at this moment and rolled her eyes directly at her.

"Fox Sister, although I am a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast, we soul beasts are not as unrestrained as you humans imagine, so please clear those yellow, lewd thoughts of male and female mating out of your head."

Xiao Wu's words were extremely blunt, causing Hu Liena's cheeks to turn red to the tips of her ears instantly.

"I... I didn't mean that, I just felt that you two were a bit..."

w(ﾟДﾟ)w

"Ju... Junior Brother, hurry up and put on your clothes. We have to go to the Heaven Dou Empire for the exchange meeting in half an hour."

Hu Liena ran out with a blushing face.

Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu looked at each other.

The two of them shrugged in perfect unison.

"Splash--!"

Ye Xuan stood up from the pool and wiped himself off without any hesitation.

Xiao Wu stood to the side, a faint, barely noticeable blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Xiao Wu, we will likely be fighting against the prodigies of other factions today, so you mustn't get stage fright when the time comes."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Xiao Wu nodded very seriously.

"Mm-hmm! Don't worry, Xuanxuan, Xiao Wu will fight side-by-side with you!"

Before long.

With Xiao Wu's help, Ye Xuan quickly changed into clean clothes.

Of course.

Xiao Wu naturally had new clothes to wear as well.

The standard uniforms of Martial Soul Hall were very exquisite.

After putting them on.

Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu's temperament rose by several degrees.

Half an hour later.

Under the instructions of Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan led Hu Liena and Ye Xuan toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

Inside the graceful and luxurious carriage.

Hu Liena was currently sizing up Ye Xuan incessantly.

Her two large eyes, brimming with allure, were filled with astonishment.

"Senior Sister, why do you keep staring at me?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Hu Liena realized she had just lost her composure.

"Hee hee, it's just that you seem to have become even prettier, Junior Brother."

Hu Liena turned her head away, feeling somewhat awkward.

Ye Xuan, however, did not take her words too much to heart.

This was because Xiao Wu had already mentioned this to him more than half a month ago.

He guessed it was the benefit brought to him by the feedback from the Moon Stone within Xiao Wu.

After all, Xiao Wu's appearance was even more beautiful than it had been a month ago.

Her skin was fairer and more rosy.

Her facial features were more delicate and adorable.

Yue Guan, sitting across from the two of them.

At this moment, was also sizing up Ye Xuan, the second disciple of Pope Bibi Dong, from the corner of his eye.

In truth, the spots for this exchange meeting had originally been decided in advance.

It was only because of Ye Xuan's arrival.

That His Holiness the Pope had temporarily canceled the spots of two other prodigies.
