Tian Meng: I Really Am Heaven's Favorite

As the words fell, a soft white light began to glow from Xiao Wu.

The light dissipated, and the Xiao Wu who had been sitting there vanished, replaced by a snow-white Soft Bone Rabbit the size of a basketball.

The Soft Bone Rabbit's fur was fluffy and soft, its two long ears were a delicate, tender pink, its ruby-like eyes were moist and bright, and its nose twitched rhythmically.

Tang An's eyes went wide instantly; half of this was an act, but the other half was genuine enchantment at its cuteness.

"Sister-in-law?" Tang An called out tentatively.

The little rabbit nodded slightly, its long ears swaying along with the motion, and a clear trace of shyness flashed in its ruby-like eyes.

Tang An could no longer hold back; he reached out and carefully scooped the little rabbit into his arms.

The contact was warm and soft, the fur incredibly smooth, and he could clearly feel the steady heartbeat in the little rabbit's chest, along with the warm body temperature beneath its skin.

It was truly real.

There was no difference at all from a living Soft Bone Rabbit.

It had to be said that Xiao Wu, transformed into a rabbit, was truly irresistibly cute; even Tang An, who had lived two lifetimes, couldn't help but pet her for a while longer.

Tang An couldn't resist gently pinching the little rabbit's soft body with his hands, then slowly stroking along her long, slender rabbit ears.

The movements appeared to be the curious, playful antics of a child, but in reality, every touch was testing the sensitivity of this body.

The little rabbit in his arms immediately began to struggle, kicking with her short legs and emitting soft, muffled "woo-woo" sounds, nudging Tang An's palm with her head as she tried to break free from his embrace.

Tang An only held her tighter, burying his face in the little rabbit's soft fur and nuzzling it, his tone filled with the excitement characteristic of a child:

"Wow, Sister-in-law, you're so soft! You're too cute!"

"Woo-woo... let go of me... Tang An!"

The little rabbit's voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a bit of annoyance, but it lacked any real deterrent power.

Tang An chuckled inwardly.

It seemed Xiao Wu's tolerance for him was much higher than he had imagined; if anyone else had dared to treat her this way, they would likely have been whipped away by her braid long ago.

After a long while of fussing, feeling that he had tested enough, Tang An reluctantly loosened his grip.

With a flash of white light, Xiao Wu transformed back into her human form.

Xiao Wu's cheeks were bright red, the flush spreading all the way to her earlobes, and even her neck and exposed collarbone were tinted a faint pink, her eyes glistening.

Her expression held a hint of shy irritation, her breathing was slightly rapid, and her whole person exuded a delicate, charming allure, as if she had just been bullied.

Tang An felt a slight stir in his heart.

It had to be said that Xiao Wu's shy appearance was truly moving, but Tang An quickly suppressed these stray thoughts; now was not the time for such things.

Xiao Wu raised her hand and lightly tapped Tang An on the head, saying crossly, "You child, you don't keep your word! I said you weren't allowed to touch me like that! I'm never transforming for you to see again!"

Tang An immediately feigned a repentant, obedient look, pulling on Xiao Wu's hand and shaking it.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, but you're just so cute when you turn into a rabbit, I couldn't help myself."

Tang An continued to act like a spoiled child, "Next time I'll be very gentle, okay?"

"You still want a next time?" Xiao Wu glared at him, but there wasn't a hint of real anger in her expression.

Tang An continued to act spoiled: "I do, I do, Sister-in-law is the best."

Xiao Wu, unable to handle Tang An's pestering, finally relented and poked his forehead:

"I really can't do anything with you. Fine... we'll see how you behave in the future. If you cultivate properly and stay obedient and sensible, I'll consider it."

"Yay, thank you, Sister-in-law!" Tang An cheered immediately, his performance vivid and lifelike.

Xiao Wu shook her head with a smile, and just as she was about to explain the key points of the cultivation technique to Tang An, Niu Tian's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Sister Xiao Wu, Little Brother Tang An, we are almost at the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest."

Tang An lifted the carriage curtain to look outside; the rolling, ink-green forest had already appeared before his eyes.

Tang An couldn't help but exclaim.

"This Green Wind Unicorn is truly fast!"

In his heart, however, he was silently chanting.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Xiao Yuhao, hehe~ I'm coming!

I wonder what kind of surprising soul skill the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm will bring me?

Tang An and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then stood up simultaneously and stepped out of the carriage.

Not long after the group entered the forest, the sounds of an intense battle reached their ears from not far away.

They saw a thin, small youth figure desperately dodging as he was pursued by a Wind Baboon.

The thin youth had a slender frame, very fair skin, and features that were excessively delicate, making him look much more refined than other boys his age.

The "youth" clutched a dagger in his hand, his body already covered in wounds, his footsteps stumbling, and it looked as if he were about to be struck by the Wind Baboon's claws.

The Child of Destiny, the future God King of Emotion, was being beaten black and blue by a Wind Baboon.

Tang An smiled, his right hand flipping to reveal the Crimson Annihilation Hammer.

With a casual flick, the hammer flew out, trailing a faint dark red light.

Before it even touched the Wind Baboon, the aura of extinction swirling around the hammer head enveloped it first. The Wind Baboon didn't even have time to scream; it instantly turned into fly ash, leaving not a single trace behind.

The Crimson Annihilation Hammer flew back into Tang An's hand automatically. Tang An retracted his martial soul, preparing to walk toward Huo Yuhao.

Just then, everything in the surroundings suddenly came to a standstill.

Floating leaves froze in mid-air, the grass on the ground stopped swaying, and even the wind ceased.

The Crimson Annihilation Hammer and the Immortal Scythe within Tang An's body trembled simultaneously, the power of life and death circulating automatically to negate the effects of the time stop.

He looked up at Xiao Wu, who nodded slightly, clearly unaffected as well.

Not far away, Niu Tian and Titan also maintained their usual expressions. The two tacitly took half a step back, standing with their arms crossed, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly without making a sound to disturb the situation.

Tang An did not move, simply watching the front quietly, waiting for the appearance of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Crack."

The hard soil suddenly split open, and a snow-white shadow slowly crawled out from underground.

It was a plump, snow-white worm over a meter long, its body segmented with a faint golden pattern on each segment. On its head were two round, black eyes; it was none other than the million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Tian Meng's small eyes darted around, instantly lighting up.

"Wow, sister, I've really hit the jackpot today! I actually ran into two spirit-attribute soul masters!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was crisp and delicate. He first glanced at the unconscious Huo Yuhao on the ground, then turned to look at Tang An.

"This girl's spirit attribute is very pure, but she's too weak; she couldn't possibly contain my power."

"This young man's mental power is so resilient, and there's a special aura on him... how perfect!"

Tian Meng furrowed his small brows and spun in a circle.

Strange, why did he feel an inexplicable force pulling him toward that little girl?

Yet this young man before him was clearly the one who could help him completely escape his suffering and gain a new life.

After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and stood in place, unable to make up his mind.

Seeing the worm hesitate, Xiao Wu took a step forward.

A trace of an extremely faint and obscure Asura aura radiated from her, landing precisely on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's perception.

Tian Meng froze instantly, his round body curling into a ball. His small eyes were filled with terror, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

"A god! This is the aura of a true god!"

"Choose him. Sacrifice." Xiao Wu pointed at Tang An, her tone brook no argument.

How could Tian Meng dare to hesitate? He hurriedly shook his head and nodded, his voice trembling, yet his expression was filled with excitement.

"Yes, yes, yes! I obey the divine decree! Being able to follow a successor of a god is a blessing I've cultivated for eight lifetimes!"

As his words fell, Tian Meng immediately took action.

His massive body slowly floated up, transforming into a soft golden light that gradually shrank until it was only the size of a fist, drifting gently toward the center of Tang An's brow.
