The tense standoff between both sides left Xu Xiao somewhat helpless.

He had not expected Chen Xin to come out at this moment. He should have explained things beforehand.

Well, now Chen Xin had been caught by the Blue Silver King the moment he appeared.

Chen Xin looked around at the plants and Soul Beasts in panic. Powerful Soul Beasts... Big Brother, Big Brother, what had you done?

The Blue Silver King glanced at the Blue Silver Emperor. The Blue Silver Emperor said to him, "Xiao Lan, put him down. I believe Xu Xiao."

The Blue Silver King reluctantly placed Chen Xin beside Xu Xiao.

"Big Brother!" Chen Xin gasped for breath. The instant he was set down, he summoned his Seven Kill Sword martial soul.

Seeing this, the Blue Silver King immediately said, "Your Majesty, look at him!"

Xu Xiao spoke up. "Fifth Brother, put away your martial soul. These are our seniors. I'll explain things to both sides in a moment."

Chen Xin did not hesitate and immediately withdrew his martial soul. After Dugu Bo had told him some things, all he felt toward Xu Xiao was admiration.

Inside that space, his Soul Rings had indeed been improving. Though it was slow, they truly were improving. He had also discovered new ways to wield the sword, making him trust Xu Xiao even more.

Now that Xu Xiao had told him to put away his martial soul, he did not stubbornly make a move. Still, he watched the two Soul Beasts before him with great caution.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiao finally looked at the Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor.

"Senior, this is my Fifth Brother, Chen Xin."

"He suddenly appeared because he had been training in my secret realm space and was thrown out."

"And that secret realm space is also what I rely on. It is the confidence I mentioned before, the thing that can shelter the Blue Silver Emperor."

Xu Xiao's words eased the originally tense atmosphere somewhat, but the Blue Silver King remained highly vigilant.

"Your Majesty, I think you should reconsider transforming."

"This brat might have something else hidden in that secret realm space, waiting for you."

The Blue Silver King stared coldly at Xu Xiao and the others, suspicion rising in his heart toward these four people.

Xu Xiao sighed helplessly. He knew that once trust collapsed, it was difficult to rebuild.

Xu Xiao summoned his martial soul. "Grow, grow, grow!"

The Spirit Pagoda rapidly expanded, radiating platinum light. The glow was gentle and echoed the light emanating from the Blue Silver Emperor.

"I can sense a dense aura. Your tower can actually absorb Soul Power?"

With her hundred-thousand-year cultivation, the Blue Silver Emperor immediately saw how extraordinary Xu Xiao's tower was.

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda could absorb Soul Power. Otherwise, where did the energy that increased Dugu Bo and the others' Soul Ring ages come from? It could not have appeared out of nowhere.

It relied on the Soul Power of the outside world, transformed through conversion.

"Yes, Senior. The two of you can go in together and take a look."

"You should believe me now, right?"

Xu Xiao pointed to the White Jade Stairs that had appeared and spoke softly to the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor exchanged a glance with the Blue Silver King. With their strength, there was no harm in taking a look.

The four of them led the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver King to the first floor.

Everything on the first floor was as usual. Nothing seemed to have changed.

"This is Sunset Forest?" The Blue Silver Emperor recognized it at once and looked at Xu Xiao in surprise.

Xu Xiao nodded lightly and explained how this place worked.

The Blue Silver Emperor was extremely satisfied. What a fine hiding place. Not bad, not bad.

"Xiao Lan, are you at ease now?"

"I think that after I transform, I can train in here and travel outside with Xu Xiao. You no longer have any reason to stop me, do you?"

The Blue Silver Emperor was very satisfied. It could hide, it could shelter her, and it could let her train. She liked it very much.

The Blue Silver King sighed. He had thought Chen Xin's sudden appearance might change Her Majesty's mind. Now things were worse—her determination had only grown stronger.

He said nothing. He no longer knew how to persuade her.

Xu Xiao watched everyone fall silent and hesitated, as though something had occurred to him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Senior, you actually don't need to transform!"

The Blue Silver Emperor would be far more useful without transforming than after transforming.

Why did she have to transform? Xu Xiao had nearly fallen into a misconception—that Ah Yin had to appear. But now, whether Ah Yin appeared or not made no difference.

If she appeared, she would only become an extra burden for him.

If she did not appear, it would bring him countless benefits.

What did Xu Xiao lack most right now? A protector. He had no powerful protector behind him. Even Chen Jianjun was not one.

Wouldn't having the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor guard the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well be perfect?

Before, he had been thinking about other things and had never considered this angle.

Now that the Blue Silver King was so resistant, Xu Xiao thought of another possibility.

Taking another path would be better for everyone, wouldn't it?

Perhaps not transforming had even more advantages. As long as he provided a few things, he could gain a Titled-level powerhouse as a protector. Why not?

The Blue Silver King's eyes lit up when he heard this. This kid—I'd liked him ever since he was young.

Not bad, not bad. Those words truly struck a chord with me.

"Little Xu, quickly persuade my emperor!" the Blue Silver King hurriedly said, afraid Xu Xiao would change his mind.

The Blue Silver Emperor frowned slightly. She had considered transforming for a long time. She wanted to see how this fellow planned to persuade her.

Chen Xin was already stunned. A Soul Beast Transformation? He was actually listening to something this significant. He swallowed hard and did not dare say a word.

Xu Xiao hesitated before saying, "Blue Silver Emperor, Soul Beasts can take human form once they reach two hundred thousand years."

"You can completely cultivate until then."

"If you think that is too difficult, I can provide cultivation resources."

Xu Xiao believed that several Immortal Herbs should raise her cultivation by tens of thousands of years at the very least. Combined with the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Blue Silver Emperor's cultivation would be even faster.

She should be able to reach two hundred thousand years within a few decades.

"Hehe, little fellow, you say you'll provide resources for my cultivation. But do you know that our Soul Beast clan still faces heavenly tribulations? Those tribulations are the hardest obstacle for me."

"Otherwise, I would not have wanted to transform and leave."

How could the Blue Silver Emperor not know that? She simply could not guarantee that she would survive her heavenly tribulation. If she could not overcome it, death was the only outcome!

Xu Xiao naturally knew this as well. Aside from the God Realm, heavenly tribulations were the greatest threat facing the Soul Beast clan.

"What if I can ensure that you survive the heavenly tribulation?"

Xu Xiao looked at the Spirit Pagoda, unsure whether it could block heavenly tribulations, but he would talk her into it first.

Having a powerhouse as backing was never a loss. Though her combat strength was not that great, having one was better than having none.

At this time, having even one Titled Douluo stationed somewhere already counted as a top-tier power.

The Blue Silver Emperor stared blankly at Xu Xiao. "Are you serious?"

"I am. You have seen this place. Once you reach two hundred thousand years, if you hide in here, perhaps you can avoid the heavenly tribulation."

"If you cannot avoid it, you can borrow my martial soul. Its durability is formidable. A heavenly tribulation cannot damage it."

"In that way, it can help you overcome the heavenly tribulation."

Xu Xiao was confident. His martial soul could not be damaged by a mere heavenly tribulation. That was also what he relied on.

The Blue Silver Emperor hesitated. If that were the case, she would not need to transform. "Will your resources be enough for me?"

Xu Xiao smiled faintly. "Rest assured, Senior. My base has many supreme treasures. Getting you to two hundred thousand years will be no problem at all. Moreover, that place can increase your cultivation speed by who knew how many times."

Before the Blue Silver Emperor could speak, the Blue Silver King immediately said, "Your Majesty, I believe this young friend. His suggestion is quite good."

"By then, Your Majesty, your strength will remain intact. You will be able to protect yourself and have no worries."

"Your Majesty, just agree!"

To stop the Blue Silver Emperor from transforming, the Blue Silver King truly pulled out all the stops!

It was rare for Xu Xiao to receive the Blue Silver King's trust.

"Of course, Senior, it will not take very long. We can even take you around the human world!"

As long as the Blue Silver Emperor concealed herself, taking her to some remote places would not be a problem.

The Blue Silver Emperor was also curious about the human world, so there was no harm in taking her around.

At that, the Blue Silver Emperor was tempted. She wanted to visit the human world, but she did not want to be captured and made into a Soul Ring. She was also worried that after transforming, Xu Xiao would be unable to conceal her Soul Beast aura, leaving her trapped in this space.

If that happened, it would be different from what she wanted.

What she wanted was to go out and have fun, cultivate, and remain undiscovered.

To put it bluntly, she was daydreaming.
