"But Lord Di Tian, Sister Xiao Wu has lived here since she was little. If she isn't allowed to live here now, she won't be happy."
Di Tian wore a look of utter disdain. "What do I care whether she is happy or not? If she doesn't leave on her own, then I'll chase her out myself." If Di Tian chased her out personally, it wouldn't just mean driving her away from here; it meant killing her.
The Sky Azure Bull Python also realized this matter was non-negotiable. "Lord Di Tian, could you let Sister Xiao Wu come in? I will explain the situation to her and have her leave here."
Di Tian nodded. Chasing someone out without a word wasn't entirely proper, either.
After entering the central circle, Xiao Wu was deeply shocked upon seeing the numerous powerful Soul Beasts by the lake.
"Lord Di Tian, who are these lords?"
Di Tian looked toward the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Sky Azure Bull Python said, "Sister Xiao Wu, it is regrettable that you can no longer dwell by the Center Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Why? This is my home, after all." Xiao Wu understood that once the Ferocious Beasts emerged, they would surely live at Center Lake, but she had already lived there for tens of thousands of years. To drive her away just like that—wasn't that rather abnormal?
"Sister Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, this is-"
Before the Sky Azure Bull Python could finish, Zi Ji stated, "This is the Beast God's decision, and it is merely a notification. We have no intention of discussing it with you."
"But Lady Zi Ji, I-"
At that moment, a gentle voice drifted over. "Alright, Zi Ji, don't be so aggressive. Xiao Wu, I cannot resist the Beast God's command, but if you leave here now, you may also lose your life."
A wave of joy welled up in Xiao Wu's heart, because the person speaking to her was extremely popular among the Ferocious Beasts and was also the companion of the Beast God Di Tian: Bi Ji.
"Then Lady Bi Ji, I-"
Bi Ji shook her head. "I cannot guarantee that you can live here, but I will speak with Di Tian. You may stay here for the time being."
As expected of Bi Ji. After speaking with Di Tian, Di Tian actually changed his mind and let Xiao Wu stay.
Just when everyone thought it was Bi Ji's merit, Di Tian vanished from everyone's sight.
Di Tian bowed respectfully. "Lord, why did you let that Soft Bone Rabbit stay? A mere low-level Soul Beast is not worthy of living alongside Soul Beasts of such noble bloodlines like us."
"I have a reason for keeping her. Do not ask any further. For the upcoming period, I will enter seclusion to refine the Heart of the Dragon God. You must keep a close watch on Center Lake and not let anything happen that would disturb me."
"Understood. But Lord, regarding that Soft Bone Rabbit..."
Gu Yuena wore a reassuring look. "It's fine. Spare her life for now; she will become the most useful blade for our Soul Beasts." Although it would come at the cost of that rabbit's life, none of that mattered. As long as they could overthrow the Asura God, what did the life of a single hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast matter? Gu Yuena could even sacrifice Di Tian if necessary.
"Understood."
Down on the ground, the Sky Azure Bull Python said happily, "Sister Xiao Wu, that's truly wonderful."
"Yes, Da Ming. Thanks to Lady Bi Ji's help, I can live on the outskirts of Center Lake. I will come to see you often."
Under Gu Yuena's hint and Di Tian's permission, Xiao Wu successfully took up residence on the outskirts of Center Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest. Meanwhile, the Sky Azure Bull Python served as the gatekeeper of Center Lake, so their living quarters were very close to each other.
As if remembering something, the Sky Azure Bull Python said with nostalgia, "It feels like returning to the past life, the way the four of us-Mother, Sister Xiao Wu, and Er Ming-lived together."
"But it's different now, Da Ming. Mother was killed by the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and Er Ming was also killed by Tang Hao. We can never go back to the way things were. But we can still do one thing, and that is to avenge Mother and Er Ming."
Xiao Wu's heart, which had been relatively relieved just a moment ago, was now filled with hatred, and her entire person had become somewhat abnormal because of this hatred.
"Sister Xiao Wu, I know you want to avenge Mother and Er Ming, but the current you cannot defeat the enemy."
The Sky Azure Bull Python sensed that Xiao Wu had changed. Filled with hatred, she was no longer as innocent and romantic as she originally was. If this continued, she would surely fall into an evil path.
Xiao Wu understood as well. "Da Ming, although I didn't find Lord Dragon God's treasure, according to the plan, the son of the person who killed Er Ming has already fallen for me. Furthermore, that person doesn't have a very deep emotional bond with his own father. If we successfully drive a wedge between them, we can make that person kill his own father with his own hands."
"Sister Xiao Wu, while it is an indisputable fact that that Titled Douluo killed Er Ming, isn't it going a bit too far to make him experience the feeling of being abandoned by everyone?" Read novels at
Only now did the Sky Azure Bull Python realize that Xiao Wu had truly changed. That innocent and romantic little girl had her eyes blinded by hatred, willing to use everything she had as a price for revenge.
"So what if it is? He killed our family too. Isn't it right to let him experience the feeling of having his family killed?" Whenever Xiao Wu thought of the Titan Giant Ape's death, she felt hatred toward Tang Hao.
Because the Titan Giant Ape had come out to look for Xiao Wu and, in order to protect Xiao Wu's identity in the human world and help her, ended up being killed by Tang Hao. Coupled with the fact that a few years ago, Xiao Wu's mother had also sacrificed her life so that Xiao Wu could live-most of the few family members Xiao Wu had in this world had died to protect her. How could this hatred be easily extinguished?
Watching Xiao Wu, whose expression was growing increasingly twisted, the Sky Azure Bull Python could only pray silently in its heart, hoping that Sister Xiao Wu would walk out of the shadow of hatred soon.
Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Ferocious Beasts, a dreadful idea unconsciously sprouted in Xiao Wu's heart: she wanted to borrow the power of the Ferocious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to kill Tang Hao.
For Xiao Wu knew that Tang San would definitely come to find her, and the current Star Dou Great Forest was incomparably perilous. Tang Hao could not possibly let Tang San come to find her alone. Even if he didn't accompany him openly, he would protect him from the shadows.
As long as Tang Hao stepped foot into the Star Dou Great Forest again, and she flattered Di Tian a little, Tang Hao's puny life would be over.
Xiao Wu suddenly burst out laughing, which thoroughly frightened the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Sister Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu shook her head. "Da Ming, I'm fine. You don't have to worry, I just thought of a brilliant method for revenge."
"What method?" The Sky Azure Bull Python grew interested. Although Soul Beasts that transformed into humans cultivated quickly, even given twenty years, Xiao Wu still couldn't defeat the present Tang Hao. Moreover, during those twenty years, it was impossible for Tang Hao not to grow stronger at all, right?
"I can't tell you that. This method must be kept secret."
Xiao Wu did not dare to reveal her inner schemes to the Sky Azure Bull Python. The Sky Azure Bull Python met with the Ferocious Beasts every day now; if it accidentally leaked out, then both her life and the Sky Azure Bull Python's life would be forfeit.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, having somehow caught wind of some news, Ning Rongrong finally stepped out of her room.
