Don't Resist, It Won't Hurt

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The Holy Light Unicorn ignored Qian Jun, who stood in its way, and lightly leaped past him on sacred light, landing behind him.

"Jiang Mo! What are you standing around for? Stop it! Don't let that beast get near Little Xue!"

Qian Jun spun around and shouted sternly at Jiang Mo. At the same time, a trace of confusion flashed through his eyes. This fifty-thousand-year-old beast had actually ignored the pressure of his soul power and charged straight past him.

Jiang Mo summoned his own Martial Soul, the Coiling Dragon Staff, but he did not attack. Instead, he shielded Qian Renxue tightly behind him and stared at the unicorn before him with an odd look.

At such close range, he could not sense even the slightest hostility from the unicorn.

It was truly strange.

"Uncle Jiang Mo, can I get a little closer and take a look at it?" A soft voice sounded from behind Jiang Mo.

Qian Renxue tilted her head and observed the fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast from behind Jiang Mo. She looked into the unicorn's eyes and found that it was looking back at her as well.

For some reason, she could see a hint of submission in the eyes of this fifty-thousand-year-old Holy Light Unicorn.

How strange. Why did she suddenly feel close to it? Why did she want to pet it so badly?

Qian Renxue's large eyes were filled with confusion.

Neigh!

The Holy Light Unicorn let out an ethereal cry upon seeing Qian Renxue, longing bursting from its eyes!

It wanted to approach her! It wanted to get close to her!

Blocked by Jiang Mo, the unicorn could not move forward. It could only let out one long cry after another, its melodious and ethereal calls carrying obvious impatience.

"You want to get close to it?"

Seeing the Holy Light Unicorn's strange behavior, Jiang Mo frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between Qian Renxue and the unicorn.

What was going on?

Qian Jun retreated to Jiang Mo's side. At this moment, he too realized that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, a soul beast of this level could not possibly appear in the outer regions of the Star Great Forest. Even if they were unlucky enough to encounter one, a battle between humans and beast would definitely break out immediately!

But the scene before them...

"Uncle Qian Jun, Uncle Jiang Mo, I can feel that it means no harm."

Qian Renxue looked at the increasingly agitated Holy Light Unicorn and spoke earnestly to the two men.

"This..."

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo gripped their Coiling Dragon Staffs tightly, unable to make a decision for the moment.

Of course, they could also sense that the unicorn bore no hostility. But they truly did not dare let Qian Renxue approach it based on that alone.

If anything happened, they would have no way to answer to the Grand Priest!

"Uncle Qian Jun, Uncle Jiang Mo, I'll only get a little closer. It really means no harm!"

Seeing that Qian Jun and Jiang Mo remained unmoved, Qian Renxue immediately grew anxious!

She had a premonition that this Holy Light Unicorn had come for her, and that it was absolutely not here to harm her!

Qian Renxue had already vaguely guessed why this fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast had suddenly appeared in the outer region and headed straight for her. It was most likely related to Lord Heavenly Dao!

This fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast was most likely a gift from Lord Heavenly Dao!

As for what use this fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast would have for her, Qian Renxue did not know, but she knew it could not possibly be a bad thing!

Seeing Qian Renxue preparing to dart out from behind them and approach the Holy Light Unicorn, helplessness showed in Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's eyes.

"Little Xue!"

Jiang Mo grabbed Qian Renxue with one large hand and lifted her up, instantly suppressing her. "Don't run around! That soul beast is fifty thousand years old! If it hurts you, the two of us would never be able to atone for it!"

"Uncle Jiang Mo, it really doesn't mean any harm!" Qian Renxue explained aggrievedly.

At that moment, Qian Renxue deeply felt the sorrow of being weak!

She had been picked up like a little chick!

Neigh!

Seeing Qian Renxue seized and carried behind Jiang Mo, the unicorn neighed again.

It wanted to charge forward, but upon feeling the pressure of the two Title Douluo, its hooves stopped of their own accord.

It could only continue pacing in circles.

"Jiang Mo, something's strange here!"

Qian Jun glanced at Qian Renxue, who was nearly crying from anxiety, and spoke to Jiang Mo in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

The two brothers were from the same generation as Qian Xunji, and Qian Renxue was also a child they had watched grow up.

The two brothers knew Qian Renxue's personality quite well.

She was well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and intelligent.

Based on her usual personality, Qian Renxue would never dare charge forward when facing a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast.

She would definitely listen obediently to the brothers and wisely hide herself long ago.

How could she be acting like this now...

As though she desperately wanted to rush right up to the soul beast!

It was practically like seeking death!

"It is strange."

Qian Jun could see it, and Jiang Mo naturally could as well.

From the fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast's abrupt appearance in the outer region to Qian Renxue now wanting nothing more than to rush before it...

This journey into the Star Great Forest was filled with an eerie atmosphere at every turn.

"Should we let Little Xue try making contact with it?"

Qian Jun glanced at the still-aggrieved Qian Renxue, somewhat wanting to let her try.

"No. You know Little Xue's talent. A God-tier Martial Soul, innate twentieth-level soul power! She is destined to become a rank ninety-nine Title Douluo in the future! If something happens, none of us can bear the responsibility!"

"I'm not saying we should let her approach it directly. We can suppress the unicorn first, then let Little Xue approach it after confirming that it is completely safe." Qian Jun offered a suggestion.

"This..."

Jiang Mo frowned and looked uncertainly at the unicorn. It was, after all, a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even they could not guarantee complete safety.

"Enough with the hesitation! Look at Little Xue. If you don't agree, she definitely won't settle down afterward."

Qian Jun looked at Jiang Mo. "Besides, don't forget Little Xue's Martial Soul. This trip to the Star Great Forest was strange from the start. Perhaps it is guidance from the Angel God!"

"Guidance from the Angel God?!"

Jiang Mo's entire body trembled. Thinking of all the strange events during this journey, his gaze could not help changing.

He looked at Qian Renxue, then at the unicorn still turning in circles without the slightest desire to attack, and made his decision!

"Fine! Let's try it!"

Jiang Mo set Qian Renxue down and instructed her solemnly, "You can approach it, but only after your Uncle Qian Jun and I suppress it first! Otherwise, we won't be at ease!"

"During that time, do not get close to it. Stay far away, understand?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Seeing that they had finally relented, Qian Renxue hurriedly nodded her little head, then glanced toward the unicorn.

Seeing the unicorn's anxious expression, Qian Renxue suddenly said something as if possessed.

"Don't resist, okay? It won't hurt."

"Neigh!"

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, the unicorn suddenly stopped pacing in circles, and its gaze became much gentler and calmer.

"!"

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo exchanged shocked looks. What was going on?

Since when had a fifty-thousand-year-old Holy Light Unicorn become so obedient?

A little girl who was not even a soul master had "subdued" a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast with a single sentence...

Honestly, it was a little frightening!

After living so many years, this was the first time they had seen something like this!

Seeing the unicorn behave this way, Qian Renxue was equally shocked. Yet this only made her more certain that it had to be Lord Heavenly Dao's doing!

Otherwise, how could a little girl who had yet to become a soul master possess such great ability?

Lord Heavenly Dao was truly amazing~
