Xiao Wu's Family Wants to Fall in Love

Star Dou Great Forest core area, Life Lake.

The emerald lake water radiated a pungent aura of life. The water was exceptionally clean, yet because it contained such an incredibly dense life force—an energy so thick it nearly condensed into a physical substance—the water was not entirely transparent.

Surprisingly, in this core area, right on the banks of the Life Lake, there sat a woman in human form. With her hair styled in a neat bun, dressed in simple, elegant, and practical attire, she possessed a tall, curvaceous figure and exquisite features, her skin as smooth as jade. She sat cross-legged, her body shimmering with a pink glow as she cultivated.

Even more shocking was the presence of three colossal beings beside this woman. Closest to her was a massive, incredibly plump rabbit, eight meters long and five meters wide, covered in white, fluffy fur. The rabbit's ears were pink, half a meter long, and draped over its head.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.

Beside the rabbit, another extremely tall figure squatted silently. It was a presence like a mountain, its entire body covered in pitch-black fur that shimmered with a faint luster under the dim sunlight. Even while on all fours, its shoulder height easily exceeded seven meters. If it were to stand upright, its height would likely surpass fifteen meters.

In appearance, it was a creature resembling both an ape and a chimpanzee. Aside from a pair of eyes the size of lanterns that glowed with a yellow, crystalline luster, it was entirely black. This was the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape.

On the surface of the Life Lake, there also rested a massive bull head over four meters in diameter, covered in dark green scales, attached to an incomparably vast body.

These two soul beasts were the legendary Kings of the Forest—the Titan Giant Ape and the Forest Emperor Sky Azure Bull Python—both of them Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

In the world of soul masters, it was rumored that the strength of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python was so immense that to deal with them, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire would likely need to combine all their Titled Douluo. With this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit added to the mix, even if all the Titled Douluo of both empires attacked together, they would surely be defeated.

Yet, what was incredibly surprising and baffling was that these three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts did nothing harmful to this human; instead, they seemed to be guarding her.

This human's true identity was actually the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, Ah Rou. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit beside her was her daughter, Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had sworn an oath of sisterhood with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, serving as their eldest sister, while Ah Rou was Xiao Wu's mother—making her the godmother of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the elder of all three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

In the eyes of the soul master world, the nominal Forest Emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest was the Sky Azure Bull Python, but in reality, the Forest Emperor was Ah Rou.

I do not know how much time had passed when pink soul power began to surge around Ah Rou. The soul power clinging to her surface expanded and contracted like an inflating balloon.

The pink phantom dissipated, and a vast wave of soul power was released from Ah Rou's body, causing faint ripples to spread across the Life Lake. Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python all revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"Mother (Aunt Rou), you have broken through to level 90."

Ah Rou opened her pink eyes and smiled faintly: "It is merely a transformation and recultivation; reaching this realm is nothing. After level 90, whether one can break through to that realm is where the true test begins."

What Ah Rou referred to was becoming a god at level 100. If the path of the soul beast were not a dead end—where continuing would lead to being struck down by the lightning tribulation—what soul beast would abandon the immense power of the 100,000-year realm, which rivaled a Titled Douluo, to become a helpless human infant and go to the human world to cultivate all over again?

"Aunt Rou, what kind of soul beast will you hunt for your ninth soul ring? Er Ming and I can both help you."

The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke. When a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforms, its internal beast core can only support the condensation of the first six soul rings; the seventh, eighth, and ninth soul rings all require hunting soul beasts to obtain.

Regarding the hunting of soul beasts, neither the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu, nor Ah Rou felt there was anything wrong with it. Soul beasts must eat; they devour one another and kill each other to compete for territory—this was the most natural thing in the world. Having grown to their current level, the four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could not even count how many soul beasts had died by their hands.

The danger and time required for a soul beast to grow into a top-tier existence were countless times greater than those required for a human to grow into a Titled Douluo.

Xiao Wu said with anticipation: "Mother, once you break through to Titled Douluo, I can also transform. Mother, what is the human world like?"

Joy, tenderness, bitterness, sadness... various emotions flickered across Ah Rou's face. She spoke slowly: "Xiao Wu, the human world is magnificent. It is filled with all sorts of interesting things we cannot see in our soul beast clan, but it also hides various crises, just like the Star Dou Great Forest."

"In the Star Dou Great Forest, we can see all kinds of soul beasts; in the human world, you will see all kinds of people. Perhaps you will even find a sincere love."

Ah Rou flipped her hand, and a comb made of nanmu wood appeared in her palm. The comb was well-maintained and stored, without a single trace of dust or wear.

"You must remember, a girl's hair should only be combed by the one she loves."

Listening to Ah Rou's gentle words, Xiao Wu's face filled with longing. She secretly decided that when she transformed and sculpted her face and body, she would not be like her mother and choose such short hair; she would craft a head of long, beautiful hair. If she met a lifelong partner in the human world, she would have him comb her hair every day.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python felt a surge of longing in their eyes. They did not need to go to the human world to find love; their love was right here—their Big Sister Xiao Wu.

At this moment, both beasts desperately wanted to transform into humans alongside Xiao Wu, go to the human world together, become her partner, and comb her hair. But thinking of the responsibilities they had to bear, they suppressed the thought of transformation and prayed that when Xiao Wu went to the human world, she would never take a fancy to any human.

"Forget about going to the human world; you should be thinking about where you will be buried next."

"Soft Bone Rabbit, Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, your time of death has arrived!"

A cold, hoarse voice rang out. From the gloomy forest, Bibi Zhu stepped out.

"A human? No. You are the Death Spider Emperor! You have also transformed?"

Ah Rou stared at the human-shaped Death Spider Emperor. As a fellow soul beast, she could still sense the soul beast aura radiating from her.

Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all looked at the Death Spider Emperor with cold eyes. Especially Xiao Wu; the disgust in her eyes was nearly overflowing. When she was not yet strong, she had nearly died countless times in the mouths of Man Faced Demon Spiders, Earth Cave Demon Spiders, Death Demon Spiders, and so on. The rabbit clan and the spider clan were absolute mortal enemies.
