Xiao Wu's Mission

"That Bibi Dong—her second martial soul is the Death Spider Emperor, the same as your true form, Your Majesty."

Zhu Huang nodded. He knew that, but Bibi Dong's martial soul certainly could not compare to his current true form. If his current true form were matched against martial souls, it would at least be a god-level martial soul.

Even among Death Spider Emperors, different individuals still varied in strength.

Tao Yaoyao said, "Are we not going to do anything about those soul masters slaughtering soul beasts?"

Zhu Huang said, "For now, we'll maintain the status quo. Not allowing humans to absorb Soul Rings would be the same as cutting off their path of cultivation, and it would definitely cause an unprecedented war. We may not fear it, but the time hasn't come yet. If we truly fight, both sides will suffer, and no one will gain anything."

"As long as we ensure that transformed soul beasts aren't killed, that will be enough. As for the ten-thousand-year soul beasts that haven't transformed yet, leave them alone for now. When we have enough strength in the future, we'll completely resolve this problem."

Tao Yaoyao nodded. In truth, because soul beasts were of different species, they also killed one another. It was hard to say they shared any feeling of grief over one another's deaths. She did not care that much whether other soul beasts lived or died. The reason she had brought it up was only because those soul beasts were nominally under her command now. If circumstances allowed, she was still willing to shelter them.

But since the time had not come and circumstances did not yet allow them to wage large-scale war against humanity, then forget it. After all, had they not gotten by like this for countless years? The deaths of some ten-thousand-year soul beasts would not affect anything. She would even have more time to spend with her own emperor.

The days that followed were mainly spent in cultivation.

All the many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts successfully transformed, and more than twenty soul beasts of eighty or ninety thousand years also transformed one after another. With the Demon Emperor Palace as their center, they lay low there, cultivating and increasing their strength.

Midway through, Zhu Huang also went to the North Sea and found a large island that humans had never set foot on. He named it Sky Demon Island, made arrangements on the island, relocated some soul beasts there, and sent over more than a dozen transformed soul beasts.

If they were putting on an act, they had to go all the way. Since they told outsiders they came from Sky Demon Island, then they might as well actually create a Sky Demon Island. If someone ever insisted on digging into it, they would have an explanation.

In any case, this was something Zhu Huang could do casually. Even if gods investigated in the future, they would not be able to see anything wrong.

"Your Majesty, that Tang San you ordered this subordinate to keep an eye on has already awakened his martial soul. In a few months, he will go to Nuoding City's junior Soul Master Academy to study."

On Sky Demon Island, Zhu Huang was currently enjoying a carefree time with the three women when Peng King suddenly arrived and brought this information.

Peng King could command billions of birds, and now no one could see through his identity as a soul beast, so Zhu Huang had put him in charge of Sky Demon Palace's intelligence work. Peng King had done it very well.

"Has it finally begun? Have Rabbit King come see me."

"As you command!"

A streak of black lightning flashed and vanished, and Peng King disappeared from Sky Demon Island.

"Your Majesty, are you paying attention to that Tang San because he is the son of the Blue Silver Empress?"

Tao Yaoyao asked curiously. Aside from the Blue Silver Empress, she could not think of why a mere human child, even if his father was Tang Hao, would be worth her man's attention.

"That is part of the reason. Tang San himself is also worth watching."

Zhu Huang did not say more. Tang San was the protagonist. If not for Asura God protecting him, Zhu Huang would have killed him long ago.

However, since he could not kill him now, he could set up an idle piece first. Perhaps it would be useful in the future!

Then he might as well let Xiao Wu follow the original trajectory for a bit. Having her go to Tang San's side as a spy was not bad either. In any case, Xiao Wu could not stay put in the forest and had long wanted to go enjoy herself in the human world, so he would give her a mission.

Before long, a pink streak of light flashed across the horizon. Xiao Wu, looking seventeen or eighteen, with a full, curvy figure, came hopping over, her long scorpion braid swaying back and forth, her face full of joy.

"Your Majesty, you called for me. Was it because you missed me?"

Xiao Wu ran to Zhu Huang's side and, ignoring Tao Yaoyao's unfriendly gaze, directly hugged Zhu Huang's arm.

After several years, she had grown much bolder and dared to take the initiative to tease her emperor. At worst, she would be punished; she was willing to have her little bottom smacked.

Zhu Huang stroked the soft rabbit-ear ornaments on Xiao Wu's head and felt the plump softness against his arm. He smiled and said, "I have a mission for you. Are you interested? If you don't want to accept it, then forget it."

"What mission?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. If she could help His Majesty, she would be very happy to do it.

Zhu Huang said, "I'm planning to send you to study in the human world and lurk by the side of a human soul master. You don't need to do anything. Just play normally in the human world, and we'll see later."

Zhu Huang was only casually placing an idle piece. If Xiao Wu was not interested, he would not force an order on her. Besides, it might not be useful later anyway, so he would just treat it as letting this little rabbit go play in the human world.

"That simple? Then if I accept, what reward do I get?"

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. How simple was it to lurk in the human world? It sounded quite fun too, and there was no specific mission, so wouldn't she be able to play however she wanted?

"What reward do you want?"

Zhu Huang looked at her with a half-smile. This little rabbit was wildly ambitious and had always wanted to turn things around and ride on top of her master. Now she had seized an opportunity.

"Mm, I want..."

Xiao Wu suddenly became bashful. She glanced at Tao Yaoyao, then mustered her courage and said, "I want to be like her too. If she can be the Flower Queen, then I can be the Charm Queen."

As she spoke, she shut her eyes and began confessing without caring about anything else. "Your Majesty, I like you. I've liked you since the first moment I saw you. I want to be your woman. I also haven't had any relationship with any male. I'm clean." As she spoke, she abruptly hugged Zhu Huang.

"Ah, I knew long ago that you had designs on me."

Zhu Huang sighed.

"Your Majesty, then have you agreed?"

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, her face full of anticipation, unease hidden in her crimson eyes.

Zhu Huang stroked Xiao Wu's little head and said softly, "Since your heart belongs to me, how could I bear to let you down? From now on, you are my Charm Queen."

"Your Majesty, big brother, you finally accepted me!"

Xiao Wu wept with joy and could not help raising her head to press her red lips to his, offering up the girl's first kiss.

After Zhu Huang tasted the girl's sweetness for a while, he held Xiao Wu on his lap and said, "Forget it. That mission is canceled."

"No, I want to go."

Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "I think it'll be really fun, and I can help Your Majesty too. That's killing two birds with one stone. I've wanted to go have a proper good time in the human world for ages. Besides, with my strength, there won't be any danger."

"All right!"

Xiao Wu now had the strength of a rank ninety-five Title Douluo no matter how one looked at it, and she also had some extremely powerful soul skills. There were already few in this world who could harm her. Even if Tang Hao attacked her, he might not necessarily be able to beat her. There truly was not much danger.

As for whether Asura God would discover her, the mere discovery of a few soul beasts by Asura God was no big deal at all. As long as they did not make too big a commotion and make the Divine Realm feel things had slipped out of control, those gods would never be bored enough to care about a mere soul beast.
