My Name is Xiao Wu (Seeking Recommendations)

There were ten hours left until the moon appeared, and the Blue Silver Emperor also needed to make some preparations.

The human-style buildings here were merely her way of experiencing human life in advance.

Even though she was in an energy-based state, these things were truly novel to her.

The Blue Silver Emperor had constructed these buildings simply by drawing upon the memories of her subjects; although the style was rather plain, it had cost her quite a bit of time.

After Qian Yufeng came out, he took out a table and chairs in the outer perimeter, found a shady spot to set them up, and the three of them sat down.

The table was covered with various snacks. A-Luo grabbed a bag of spiced melon seeds, sat to the side, and began cracking them while listening to Qian Yufeng and the others chat.

"Master, was that woman a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?" Qian Lingsu asked curiously.

A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was an extremely rare existence.

When the two of them were obtaining their ninth soul rings, Qian Yufeng had originally wanted to find a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, but after looking around, he hadn't found a suitable one.

Consequently, both women's ninth soul rings were ninety-thousand years old.

They were quite lucky, as both had produced soul bones.

"Yes. The woman we saw earlier was just a phantom projection of her energy. She didn't mention her true form, and I didn't feel it was appropriate to ask," Qian Yufeng nodded.

Regarding his two maids' soul rings, he found himself wishing the system would provide some treasure to increase their soul ring age.

Their ninth soul rings were just a hair's breadth away from reaching the hundred-thousand-year mark.

If they could be elevated to a hundred-thousand years, their path to level ninety-five and beyond would be much less difficult.

A Soul Master possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring had a much higher probability of reaching level ninety-nine than one with a soul ring between seventy-thousand and one-hundred-thousand years.

"What, an energy projection?!" Qian Lingxin found it hard to believe. Was it really that miraculous?

In their perception, that woman had been filled with a powerful aura, very much like a Soul Beast!

And now he was telling her it was just an energy projection?

"I felt something strange the moment I saw her, so that was why," A-Luo said, putting down the melon seed she had been about to eat.

Qian Yufeng added, "This counts as a form of concealment. Plant-type Soul Beasts are quite unique; it's normal for them to be highly cautious once they reach this level of cultivation."

He reckoned that many intelligent Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest had never imagined that the Blue Silver Grass, the most inconspicuous of all plant life, would produce an Emperor that reached the hundred-thousand-year level.

The Blue Silver Emperor did not come out, remaining in her dwelling to prepare for her transformation that night.

However, she could hear the conversation between Qian Yufeng and his group perfectly clearly.

"I am not alone; that little one will be here soon. She even calls herself the 'Big Sister' in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Blue Silver Emperor's human form.

When she had over ninety thousand years of cultivation, she had met that large Soft Bone Rabbit, who had two powerful hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts as bodyguards.

She also had a child, whose cultivation was only a few hundred years lower than her own.

Yet, the child was incredibly mischievous; many Soul Beasts would steer clear of her upon seeing her!

Soon, while Qian Yufeng and the others were laughing and chatting, a young girl's voice rang out:

"Humans, what are you doing here? Leave at once!"

"You are not welcome here, or else I won't be polite!"

The childish voice carried a hint of warning and radiated a trace of powerful aura.

Qian Yufeng and the others looked closely and discovered it was a Soft Bone Rabbit.

She had braced herself, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

A-Luo, however, was not shy and curiously walked up in front of her.

"Little bunny, we haven't done anything bad. That big sister agreed to let us stay here!"

Xiao Wu did not lower her guard; after all, the aura emitted by Qian Yufeng and his group was very strong, and she dared not be careless.

Damn it, if I had known I would run into humans, I should have brought Er Ming with me.

She thought this to herself, but remained calm on the surface, asking A-Luo:

"Who are you? And what is your relationship with these three humans?"

A-Luo introduced herself, "Little bunny, I am a Soul Spirit named A-Luo. I am a Soul Beast that turned into what I am now."

"I am a Soul Beast from the sea, hee hee!"

"Ah Feng is my contract partner. He is a very good person and doesn't have much hostility toward Soul Beasts!"

After speaking, she turned around and returned to Qian Yufeng, standing on his shoulder.

"You are a Soul Beast?!" Xiao Wu looked at A-Luo in surprise.

"Of course! I am the first Soul Spirit on the continent, and I am a very good partner to Ah Feng!" A-Luo nodded and said with a smile.

The wariness in Xiao Wu's heart diminished slightly, and her gaze shifted to Qian Yufeng.

This human was the leader of the three; perhaps she could extract some useful information from him.

"This human called Ah Feng, what are you doing here? Auntie Blue Silver does not welcome strangers."

Qian Yufeng looked into her scarlet eyes and said in a calm tone, "I know her, so you can just consider us friends. Let me introduce myself; my name is Qian Yufeng."

"Perhaps you haven't heard my name, but you must have seen the scenes of me slaying Fallen Spirit Masters within the Star Dou Great Forest."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu finally had a vague impression.

"Are you saying that those evil humans who entered the forest years ago were killed by you and your men?"

"I saw it a few times. Those evil fellows were very detestable and annoying."

"By the way, my name is Xiao Wu—'Xiao' as in small, and 'Wu' as in dance."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately realized what she had done, nearly being led astray by this human.

"Hey, you still haven't said what you're doing here!"

Qian Yufeng had not expected this little rabbit to be so sharp. Just as he prepared to answer, the voice of the Blue Silver Emperor drifted over.

"Xiao Wu, do not be rude!"

"These people are my guests. Rest assured, they do not harbor any great malice toward soul beasts."

Following this, she stepped out from the grass.

Xiao Wu hopped over to her side and asked in confusion, "Auntie Blue Silver, why are you seeking out these humans? They are very dangerous. Mother also said that we should not easily approach humans."

After she finished speaking, she stood in front of the Blue Silver Emperor, glaring at Qian Yufeng with hostility to prevent the Blue Silver Emperor from getting any closer to them.

"You had better explain it to her yourself," Qian Yufeng said with a shrug and a look of helplessness.

Given Xiao Wu's high level of vigilance, he found it difficult to say much more.

Off to the side, Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock.

This Soft Bone Rabbit could speak, meaning she was at least a hundred-thousand-year-level soul beast.

Wait, how had they encountered two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the span of a single day?!

The energy form manifested by the Blue Silver Emperor pulled Xiao Wu into her embrace, gently stroking her back as she said, "These people are my guests and have no ill intent; I can guarantee that."

"As for the purpose of their visit, I cannot say yet. Let's wait until tomorrow."

"Remember to tell your mother to come over tomorrow morning. I have some matters to discuss with her."

In her arms, Xiao Wu's wariness toward the three of them finally dissipated significantly.

"Mm, I understand!" No sooner had she spoken than her nose caught a peculiar fragrance.

She looked up and discovered that A-Luo had picked up a skewer of candied haws; the sweet aroma had captured Xiao Wu's attention.

A-Luo also noticed the change in Xiao Wu's gaze and smiled.

"Little bunny, do you want to eat this?"
