There were still ten hours until the moon appeared, and the Blue Silver Emperor needed to make some preparations as well.
The human buildings here were merely for her to experience human life in advance.
Although she was in an energy-body state, these things were indeed quite novel to her.
The buildings had been simply constructed by the Blue Silver Emperor based on her subjects' memories. Though the style was rather plain, they had cost her quite a bit of time.
After Qian Yufeng came out, he took out a table and chairs at the edge of the area, set them up in a shady spot, and the three of them sat down.
Quite a few snacks were spread across the tabletop. A-Luo grabbed a bag of five-spice sunflower seeds and sat to one side, cracking seeds as she listened to Qian Yufeng and the others chat.
"Master, was that woman a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Qian Lingsu asked curiously.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were incredibly rare.
When the two of them had obtained their ninth Soul Rings, Qian Yufeng had originally wanted to seek out Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but after searching around, he had found none that suited them.
Therefore, the two women's ninth Soul Rings were both ninety thousand years old.
Fortunately, both had produced Soul Bones.
"Yes. The woman we just saw was only an incarnation of her energy. She didn't mention her true form, and I didn't feel right asking." Qian Yufeng nodded.
As for his two maids' Soul Rings, he now hoped the system would provide some treasure that could increase the age of Soul Rings.
Their ninth Soul Rings were only one step away from a hundred thousand years.
If they were raised to a hundred thousand years, reaching level ninety-five would make the later stages of cultivation much less difficult.
Soul Masters with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings had a far greater chance of cultivating to level ninety-nine than Soul Masters whose Soul Rings were over seventy thousand years but under a hundred thousand years.
"What? An energy body?!" Qian Lingxin found it hard to believe. Could something like that really be so miraculous?!
In the two women's perception, that woman had been filled with a powerful aura and seemed extremely close to a Soul Beast!
And now he was telling them she was an energy body?
"A-Luo thought something was strange the moment she saw her. So that was why." A-Luo lowered the sunflower seed she had brought to her lips and spoke.
Qian Yufeng said again, "It's a form of concealment. Plant-type Soul Beasts are rather special. At that level of cultivation, being highly cautious is perfectly normal."
Many intelligent Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest probably had never imagined that an emperor would emerge from Blue Silver Grass, the most inconspicuous plant community of all, and even reach the hundred-thousand-year level.
The Blue Silver Emperor did not come out. Instead, she was preparing at her residence for her transformation that night.
However, she heard Qian Yufeng and the others' conversation perfectly clearly.
"I'm not alone. That little one will be here soon. She even calls herself the big sister of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of the human form manifested by the Blue Silver Emperor.
When she had more than ninety thousand years of cultivation, she had met that large Soft Bone Rabbit, who had two powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast bodyguards by her side.
She had a child too, whose cultivation was only a few hundred years lower than her own.
But the child was exceptionally mischievous. Many Soul Beasts would avoid her whenever they saw her!
Soon, while Qian Yufeng and the others were chatting and laughing, a little girl's voice rang out:
"Humans, what are you doing here? Leave at once!"
"You aren't welcome here. Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
Her childish voice carried a warning, while also radiating a powerful aura.
Qian Yufeng and the others looked closely and discovered that she was a Soft Bone Rabbit.
She had already gathered her strength, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
A-Luo was not shy around strangers. She curiously walked up to her.
"Little bunny, we haven't done anything bad. That big sister allowed us to stay here!"
Xiao Wu did not lower her guard. The aura emitted by Qian Yufeng and the other two was very powerful, and she did not dare let her guard down.
Damn it. If I'd known I would run into humans, I should have brought Er Ming with me.
She thought to herself, but remained calm on the surface as she asked A-Luo:
"Who are you? What is your relationship with these three humans?"
A-Luo introduced herself. "Little bunny, I'm the Soul Spirit A-Luo. I'm a Soul Beast that became what I am now."
"I'm a Soul Beast from the sea. Hehe!"
"A-Feng is my contract partner. He's a very good person and doesn't bear much hostility toward Soul Beasts!"
After saying that, she turned and returned to Qian Yufeng's side, standing on his shoulder.
"You're a Soul Beast?!" Xiao Wu looked at A-Luo in surprise.
"Of course! I'm the continent's first Soul Spirit, and A-Feng and I are very good partners!" A-Luo nodded with a smile.
The vigilance in Xiao Wu's heart weakened slightly as she looked toward Qian Yufeng.
This human was the leader of the three. Perhaps she could get some useful information from him.
"You human called A-Feng, what are you doing here? Aunt Blue Silver doesn't welcome strangers."
Qian Yufeng looked into her crimson eyes and said calmly, "I could be considered acquainted with her. Just think of me as a friend. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Yufeng."
"Perhaps you haven't heard my name, but you must have seen me killing Fallen Spirit Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest."
When Xiao Wu heard that, she did recall something.
"You mean those evil humans who entered the forest years ago? You were the one who led people to kill them?"
"I saw it a few times. Those evil bastards were hateful and annoying."
"Oh, right. My name is Xiao Wu. Xiao as in small, Wu as in dance."
As soon as she said that, she immediately realized what had happened. This human had nearly led her off track.
"Hey, you still haven't told me what you're doing here?!"
Qian Yufeng had not expected this little rabbit to be so clever. Just as he was about to answer, the Blue Silver Emperor's voice came over.
"Xiao Wu, don't fool around!"
"These people are my guests. Don't worry, they bear no great hostility toward Soul Beasts."
Afterward, she walked out from the grass.
Xiao Wu hopped over to her and asked in confusion, "Aunt Blue Silver, why did you bring these humans here? They're very dangerous. Mom also said that we can't approach humans so easily."
After saying that, she stood in front of the Blue Silver Emperor and glared at Qian Yufeng, preventing the Blue Silver Emperor from getting close to them.
"You should explain it to her." Qian Yufeng shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.
With Xiao Wu's vigilance being so high, it was difficult for him to say much.
Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu exchanged a glance, both deeply shocked.
This Soft Bone Rabbit could speak, which meant she was at least a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
No, how had they encountered two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in just one day?!
The energy body manifested by the Blue Silver Emperor held Xiao Wu in her arms and gently stroked her back. "These people are my guests. They mean no harm. I can guarantee it."
"As for why they are here, I can't tell you yet. Wait until tomorrow."
"Tomorrow morning, remember to bring your mother here. I have something to discuss with her."
In her arms, Xiao Wu finally relaxed her guard against Qian Yufeng and the other two considerably.
"Mm, I understand!" As soon as she spoke, her nose caught a special fragrance.
Looking up, she discovered that A-Luo had taken out a candied hawthorn skewer. Its sweet scent drew Xiao Wu's attention.
A-Luo noticed the change in Xiao Wu's gaze too and smiled.
"Little bunny, do you want to eat this?!"
