Ah Rou, Ah Yin, and Qian Xunji left the Papal Palace and Spirit City, making their way to a small town not far outside the city.
"Xiao Wu is in this town?" Ah Yin asked Ah Rou as they walked in.
"She's here. I told her that if I didn't return by tonight, it meant something had happened to me, and she should run." Ah Rou looked embarrassed.
"Mm. You can't go wrong being careful," Qian Xunji said. He saw nothing wrong with it. After all, Ah Rou had no way of knowing whether he, the Supreme Pontiff, would covet a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
"Xiao Wu is in that hotel. Let's go in." Ah Rou pointed to a hotel a short distance ahead.
They entered and went straight to Xiao Wu's room. Xiao Wu sat quietly in a chair, as though she had been waiting for Ah Rou the whole time.
"Mom!" The moment Xiao Wu saw her mother return, she sprang up and ran to her.
"Mom, who are they?" Xiao Wu asked, looking at the unfamiliar Ah Yin and Qian Xunji.
"This is the auntie I told you about..." Ah Rou said, stroking Xiao Wu's head.
"This is that auntie? Ah Yin, who entered the human world and became the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff Consort?!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she looked at Ah Yin. "Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello to you too. What an adorable little one!" Ah Yin smiled at Xiao Wu. "But we should hide that aura of yours."
Qian Xunji nodded in agreement. To his eyes, Xiao Wu was practically an oversized rabbit. This was why Transformed Soul Beasts could not escape the eyes of a Titled Douluo.
A Titled Douluo could see straight through to a Transformed Soul Beast's true nature.
