Playing It Too Far? I Actually Dragged the Original Female Lead into My Domain!

At that moment, Xiao Wu's reaction was completely different from Lu Ming's.

When she heard those two familiar roars, she froze for a moment before an expression of shock and delight appeared on her face.

It was Da Ming and Er Ming! They had come looking for her!

But when she saw the entire domain space shaking violently without shattering immediately, the joy on her face was instantly replaced by indescribable shock.

He... he blocked it?

He actually withstood the combined pressure of Da Ming and Er Ming?!

Xiao Wu felt as though her mind had completely stopped working. No one knew better than her how strong Da Ming and Er Ming were.

They were the true emperor and king of the Star Dou Great Forest, beings so terrifying that even Titled Douluo turned pale at the mention of them!

Yet this boy, who looked about her age, could use that bizarre soul skill to directly withstand the fury of two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?

What kind of monster was he?

Just as Xiao Wu's heart was in turmoil, Lu Ming made a move she never expected.

Lu Ming stepped forward and shielded her behind him.

"Don't be afraid."

"Two very powerful soul beasts outside seem to be angry. Stay behind me, and don't get caught in the crossfire."

As he spoke, he gave an order to the three followers before him:

"Zhu Mao, Feng Qie, Yue Xi, prepare for battle!"

"Yes, Master!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Qie and Zhu Mao instantly stepped in front of Lu Ming and Xiao Wu.

Green currents of air began swirling around Feng Qie, and his eyes were filled with soaring battle intent.

Zhu Mao was even more direct. The four black spider spears on his back shot out with a sharp clang, gleaming with a cold light as his eight dark green compound eyes stared intently beyond the domain.

Even Yue Xi, the most timid of them all, gathered her courage and peeked her little head out from behind Lu Ming. A soft white light lit up in her purple eyes, ready to heal everyone at any moment.

Looking at the three "strange people" standing in front of her, then at the boy's back—neither tall nor broad, yet exceptionally dependable—Xiao Wu was completely dumbfounded...

He... he's protecting me?

Doesn't he know Da Ming and Er Ming came for me?

Does he think those two "powerful soul beasts" are going to attack me too?

An absurd and strange thought rose in Xiao Wu's heart.

This guy seemed... not to be a bad person?

At the very least, everything he was doing right now was to protect her, a stranger he had met by chance.

"You... you all..."

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, but for a moment, she did not know what to say.

"Don't worry. We're here."

Lu Ming did not turn around, merely speaking in a calm voice.

Of course, he knew who Da Ming and Er Ming had come for. Everything he was doing now was an act.

An act for Xiao Wu to see!

He wanted to leave a first impression of being "kind, dependable, and responsible" in the heart of this big sister of the Star Dou Great Forest's rulers.

After all, according to the original story, she was fiercely loyal and valued relationships deeply. If he gained her trust, it would mean indirectly gaining the trust of those two forest overlords.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, was there any backing stronger than that?

If I want to develop peacefully here, I have to maintain good relations with the neighbors!

Lu Ming calculated inwardly...

Still, he could not overdo the act.

The Titan Giant Ape and Azure Sky Bull Python had already reached the edge of the domain. If he kept resisting and his domain was truly shattered, the situation would become difficult to control.

With that in mind, Lu Ming deliberately took a deep breath and said to Xiao Wu in a somewhat grave tone, "Miss, the soul beasts outside are too strong. My domain won't hold for much longer. We must take the initiative and look for an opportunity!"

The moment he finished speaking, he withdrew all his power.

"Domain: Release!"

In an instant, the dazzling world of plants shattered piece by piece like an illusion reflected in water...

When the domain of the Gluttonous Sea of Light dissipated and the outside world came back into view, even though Lu Ming had mentally prepared himself, his scalp still went numb.

At the entrance to the valley, a Titan Giant Ape as enormous as a mountain glared at them with giant eyes burning with rage. Its massive fists creaked as they clenched, as though it would smash down at any moment and level the entire valley.

Behind the giant ape, an incomparably huge bull's head floated in midair. Its blue-black scales reflected a metallic sheen beneath the sunlight, while its lantern-sized eyes were filled with cold scrutiny and investigation.

The Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape!

Locked onto by those two earth-shattering auras, Feng Qie and Zhu Mao's bodies tensed instinctively.

The face of Feng Qie, who usually wore a smile, turned solemn.

So strong!

Zhu Mao drove his four spider spears deep into the ground to support himself, while the vigilance in his eight compound eyes rose to the extreme!

As soul beasts, they could more directly feel the suppression that came from deep within their bloodlines. It was the absolute crushing pressure of the top of the food chain upon the bottom!

Yet even under such terrifying pressure, they did not retreat a single step. They stood firmly before Lu Ming and Xiao Wu, faithfully carrying out their duty.

The atmosphere in the valley froze to its lowest point in an instant. A great battle seemed ready to erupt at any moment!

Not long ago, the two forest overlords had rushed over the instant they sensed something unusual about Xiao Wu.

This... is a domain?

Er Ming's huge eyes were filled with uncertainty and shock.

Its pressure had just crashed into that strange green barrier, only to vanish like a stone sinking into the sea, causing nothing more than violent tremors.

What was even more unbelievable was that from within that domain, it could sense a life aura that felt familiar to it, one originating from the forest itself.

What exactly is this strange human?

Da Ming's heart was likewise in turmoil.

Its spiritual power was sharper than Er Ming's, and it could clearly sense that the domain from before was not merely an energy barrier.

It was an independent little world!

Within that world, that boy was the absolute ruler!

If they had not forcibly assaulted it with their pressure, they might not have been able to glimpse what was inside even now...

This ability has already surpassed my understanding of soul skills...

Da Ming had lived for a hundred thousand years, yet this was the first time it had seen someone like Lu Ming, someone capable of creating a domain out of thin air.

Most importantly, Xiao Wu was still inside!

At the thought of Xiao Wu being swept into such an unknown domain, Da Ming and Er Ming's hearts clenched.

They did not know what that human might do to Xiao Wu, and they feared even more that she might be harmed. That was why they had released their pressure without hesitation, intending to forcibly break open the domain.

But what they had not expected was for that human to voluntarily release the domain...

When the domain vanished on its own, Da Ming and Er Ming were stunned!

They saw Xiao Wu completely unharmed. Their Sister Xiao Wu was even being protected behind that boy and his several strange subordinates!

What was going on?

Were kidnappers protecting their hostage?
