Ten Thousand Year Demon Spider!

Yue Guan was delighted. His elder brother was developing the family, and both he and Gui Mei were more than happy to see it.

He did not know what the future held for him, but for now, he had no thoughts whatsoever about romance between men and women.

He only wanted to properly protect his flowers and plants.

As for Gui Mei, he currently preferred being alone, though he also enjoyed being with his brothers. Asking him to find someone he liked was still rather difficult.

At least for now, neither of them had any such intentions.

Xu Xiao rapped Yue Guan on the head. "You brat, what are you thinking about all day?"

"Later on, as your eldest brother, I'll definitely find good matches for you two."

"If the two of you dare refuse when the time comes, just see how I deal with you."

Xu Xiao snorted. They had even started teasing their eldest brother. He would have to teach them a proper lesson.

Yue Guan laughed heartily. "Big Brother, there's no need to find me a woman. Just find me some rare flowers and plants, and that'll be enough."

"I want to dedicate my entire life to flowers and plants."

Yue Guan spoke with lofty righteousness. He truly did not care about such matters.

Gui Mei hurriedly chimed in as well. "Big Brother, you know me. I'm perfectly fine on my own."

"Leave such good things to Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother."

Xu Xiao had expected their reactions. That was simply their nature.

However, as their eldest brother, Xu Xiao could not possibly let them remain alone for the rest of their lives. There were always more solutions than difficulties.

They could take it slowly.

"This matter isn't urgent. Our top priority now is to improve our strength."

"Otherwise, forget about finding wives—we might not even be able to keep our own lives."

Xu Xiao's gaze unconsciously turned toward the depths of Star Dou Forest. There were simply too many dangers there.

Gui Mei nodded repeatedly. His eldest brother was right. Gui Mei released his soul skill and had it search ahead for them.

"Big Brother, who is the woman you're looking for?" Yue Guan asked.

Xu Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know exactly what she looks like. I only know that her martial soul is the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit."

"As for her age, she probably isn't that old. At most, she should be around twenty."

Xu Xiao was only estimating her age. He did not know the exact number, but she definitely would not be older than twenty in human years.

Xiao Wu had definitely been born by now, but she was still in her Soul Beast state. He had no idea how many years she had lived.

However, Xiao Wu's mother, Ah Rou, definitely was not that old.

Xu Xiao remembered that when Bibi Dong killed Xiao Wu's mother, Ah Rou had already looked like a middle-aged woman. Calculating from that, she should not be too old now.

"Big Brother, could she be a Soul Beast Transformation?" Gui Mei suddenly asked.

Xu Xiao froze. Was his mind really that sharp? He had actually guessed it.

Yue Guan looked over in astonishment.

"Big Brother, she couldn't really be a Soul Beast Transformation, could she?" Yue Guan asked haltingly.

Xu Xiao had not intended to hide it. He nodded and admitted it.

"She really is a Soul Beast Transformation."

"And the Blue Silver Emperor should know her too."

Xu Xiao explained briefly.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged a glance. "Big Brother, do you want her to become a Soul Ring?"

Xu Xiao nodded, then shook his head. "I do have that thought. After all, who wouldn't want a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

Regarding Xiao Wu's mother, Xu Xiao intended to take her Soul Ring if he could get it. Her presence was insignificant anyway, and in the original story, she had become Bibi Dong's Soul Ring as well.

His first martial soul did not have any particular requirements for Soul Rings. As long as the age was high enough, it would do.

Who would not want a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?

"Big Brother, are you worried about the Blue Silver Emperor?" Gui Mei asked.

Xu Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Not really. I'm just thinking of a way to satisfy both sides."

"One that neither puts the Blue Silver Emperor in a difficult position nor prevents me from getting what I want."

Xu Xiao did not particularly want Ah Rou to join their faction. Once Ah Rou was involved, she would bring her whole family along—two Licking Beasts and a Little Scumbag's sword sheath.

Xu Xiao did not like that very much. If Xiao Wu had not been born yet, then it would naturally have been another matter.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu had already appeared.

Everything had to be considered more carefully.

Xu Xiao did not want to get too deeply involved with their family. If she could become a Soul Ring, then she should honestly become a Soul Ring instead of coming out and causing trouble.

That was also why Xu Xiao wanted her to become a Soul Ring. He felt that she was quite suitable as his fifth Soul Ring.

"Enough of that. The most urgent matter now is finding my third Soul Ring." Xu Xiao did not want to dwell on it anymore. They had not even found her yet, so they would take things one step at a time.

He believed that when the time came, even if he could not find a solution, the Blue Silver Emperor would not say anything.

The three did not move quickly. They were all extremely cautious.

Star Dou Forest was enormous. Finding a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast could be easy, yet it could also be difficult.

Suddenly, Gui Mei stopped. "Big Brother, your shadow has been destroyed."

Xu Xiao paused. It had been destroyed.

"Can you sense what happened?" Xu Xiao hurriedly asked.

Gui Mei shook his head. "I can't share its senses, but I can tell where it was."

Xu Xiao said, "Let's go take a look. Stay ready to fight at all times."

I hope it's a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, Xu Xiao prayed.

That would save them a great deal of effort. Then they could slowly search for the Man Faced Demon Spider and Ah Rou.

Gui Mei carefully led the way. After walking for quite some time, they arrived at the place where the shadow had vanished.

On the ground, the traces of some enormous creature crawling were exceptionally clear. Drag marks lay quietly there, while scattered spider silk littered the side.

A spider. A spider had destroyed Gui Mei's soul skill.

"Let's go!" Xu Xiao looked ahead. The tracks stopped just up ahead.

Hisss!

Just as the three were about to turn around, strange hissing echoed beside their ears, drilling into their minds and sending chills down their spines.

Xu Xiao did not hesitate. He swiftly took out his Spirit Pagoda. Gui Mei and Yue Guan quickly moved closer, and the three watched their surroundings vigilantly.

Thud! Thud!

Two strands of spider silk shot out from beneath the trees.

Xu Xiao and the others had been watching all around them. By the time they saw the spider silk, it was already nearly upon them.

The three dodged, but it was too late. The silk had already stuck to their legs.

Without hesitation, Xu Xiao lightly tapped his Spirit Pagoda. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Four figures appeared around the three of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground began to tremble, and the great trees swayed as though they might collapse. Eight legs emerged from the ground, and a giant spider slowly crawled out, its eyes filled with greed.

Its revolting face was covered in drool, utterly disgusting, saliva constantly dripping down...

Everyone finally saw the spider clearly: a Ten Thousand Year Earth Cave Demon Spider!

Xu Xiao was not panicked in the slightest. He immediately gave orders. "Second Brother, Third Brother, prepare the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, the two of you attack while this beast is immobilized. Don't kill it."

"Sixth Brother, stay alert. Seventh Brother, heal us!!"

The instant his words fell, Yue Guan and Gui Mei made their move. Standing back to back, purple and black Soul Rings appeared beneath their feet. Even with their legs restrained by spider silk, it did not prevent them from using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Their martial souls fused in an instant. "Infinite Stasis Domain!"
