Xiao Wu? She Still Had Some Use-Take Her Back to Star Dou as a Breeding Tool! (Please Read!)

Gu Yuan's voice wasn't loud, yet it carried clearly into everyone's ears.

The indulgence he showed Gu Yuena and the indifference he showed everyone else stood in stark contrast.

The chill in Gu Yuena's heart melted away the moment Gu Yuan took her hand. She gave a slight nod, her tone returning to calm:

"You're right. I was wrong.

Seeing my own kind so spineless, I couldn't help losing my temper."

Gu Yuan smiled, though he'd already made up his mind.

He turned his head, his gaze finally settling on Xiao Wu. It was as calm as if he were assessing the ultimate use of an object.

Before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Daming and Erming, those two simpletons, had indeed begged him and Gu Yuena time and again to save their Sister Xiao Wu.

She'd been left to wander the human world, tangled up with Tang San.

Even if everyone else around Xiao Wu ended up just like in the original story, spending several years with her and developing deep feelings for her, so that they treated her no differently even after her identity was exposed,

that would still sooner or later draw Spirit Hall's hunt. It would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Kill her outright?

There was no need to go that far. After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and before he and Gu Yuena left the Star Dou Great Forest, they'd also made promises to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Gu Yuan didn't consider himself a hypocrite and scoundrel like Tang San, but he believed a person should keep his word.

Since he'd given his word, whatever happened in the future, he had to at least fulfill his promise to Daming and Daming for now.

So the best solution was to take her back.

A cold, efficient idea flashed through Gu Yuan's mind:

Rabbits... weren't they famous for breeding like rabbits?

Even setting aside Blue Star, where Gu Yuan had lived before transmigrating, with its rabbits that bred like mad—more than a dozen to a litter, and over five litters a year—

In the original story, even after becoming gods, Xiao Wu and Tang San had still managed to have Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin.

Although the original story never said so outright, judging by the descriptions of the Divine Realm, weren't Tang San and Xiao Wu the only divine couple who had children?

And they had two in a row.

Although two whole millennia passed between the Peerless Tang Sect era and the Legend of the Dragon King era on the Douluo Continent,

for Tang San and Xiao Wu in the Divine Realm, less than fifty years had passed.

That confirmed Gu Yuan's theory.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who had rebuilt her cultivation, Xiao Wu had a pure bloodline and an extremely strong capacity to breed.

If she returned to the forest and mated with Daming or Erming, or with Xiong Jun or another Ferocious Beast, the offspring would undoubtedly have extraordinary bloodlines.

This would not only let him honor his promise to those two simpletons, but also greatly improve the quality—and flavor—of the Soft Bone Rabbit population in the Star Dou Great Forest.

A perfect solution.

"In consideration of your two elder brothers pleading for you, I'll grant you a more valuable place in life."

Gu Yuan's voice held not a trace of emotion, as if he were announcing an indisputable law.

Xiao Wu and Tang San both froze, unable to understand what he meant.

"Your game in the human world ends here."

Gu Yuan spoke lightly.

"You will return to the Star Dou Great Forest and fulfill your true duty as a member of the Soft Bone Rabbit bloodline.

You will devote all your worth to the survival and strength of your clan."

"No! I'm not going back!"

Xiao Wu immediately understood what he meant. Her face drained of color, and she stumbled backward.

"My home is here!

My friends are here!"

"Take Xiao Wu?

Not a chance!"

A weak yet unyieldingly resolute voice rang out.

Tang San struggled to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill to urge the last trace of Soul Power in his body, forcing himself to push off the ground and stand.

He glared at Gu Yuan, eyes bloodshot, and roared hoarsely:

"If you want to take Xiao Wu, you'll have to step over my corpse!"

Even in dire straits, even knowing he stood no chance, Tang San still chose to shield Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu, who had just been trembling with fear, felt a faint spark of hope rekindle in her eyes.

But Gu Yuan's response snuffed out that spark for good.

"Silence."

Gu Yuan didn't even turn around. He simply raised his right hand and gave a casual wave behind him.

In an instant, a terrifying force beyond words appeared out of thin air, as though the weight of the entire world had come crashing down on Tang San.

"Pfft—!"

Before Tang San could even cry out, his vision went black.

He flew backward like a kite with its strings cut, smashing through several tables and chairs along the way.

At last, he slammed into the teahouse wall with a muffled thud and passed out on the spot, his life hanging in the balance.

The whole thing had been effortless and smooth, as casual as swatting away an annoying fly.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at Tang San, lying in a pool of blood in the distance, then at Gu Yuan's back, still straight as ever, as if he hadn't done a thing. Terror that rose from the depths of her soul completely overwhelmed her.

She finally understood that she and Tang San really were... less than ants in the presence of these two.

Gu Yuan turned around and took Gu Yuena's hand, as if he'd done something trivial.

"Let's go, Na'er."

As he turned, he reached out his other hand and made a grasping motion toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu felt the space around her suddenly solidify. An irresistible force bound her completely, and her body rose into the air against her will, following behind Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena like a puppet pulled by invisible strings.

Xiao Wu's mouth fell open, but she couldn't make a sound. Her eyes held nothing but endless despair and fear.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others watched in terror, yet not one of them dared say a word.

They didn't even have the courage to move.

Dai Mubai's evil eyes were filled with horror. His clenched fists had gone white at the knuckles, but in the end, he chose silence.

Their opponent's power was beyond his comprehension. That wasn't a Titled Douluo. That was... a god!

Pick a fight with a god for a "friend" he'd only just met?

He couldn't do it.

Zhu Zhuqing's face was as pale as paper. She instinctively took half a step back and hid behind Dai Mubai.

She understood the law of the jungle better than anyone. She'd grown up in a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

She knew that in the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile and foolish.

Ning Rongrong was trembling with fear. She came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had seen the might of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, but even those two guardian deities could never have manipulated space so effortlessly.

Ning Rongrong had only one thought:

These two must never be provoked!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't afford to provoke them either!

After all, they'd only just met Xiao Wu, and she was just a Soul Beast. So what if she was taken away?

The thought flashed through their minds, wiping away even the last traces of guilt they felt.
