Dajin's Sad Past...

At the same time, deep within the Xingdou Great Forest...

Within a gigantic deep-blue lake stood two Soul Beasts: a horned giant python and an enormous ape.

They were none other than the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Daming and Er Ming.

"Big Brother, it's Sister Xiao Wu's aura!"

After sensing that familiar aura coming from the inner region, Er Ming's face was filled with anxiety, and he kept turning to look in the direction it came from.

"I sensed it too, but... the boss lady seems to be in danger."

Feeling Xiao Wu's chaotic aura from the inner region, Daming said with a frown.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and help Sister Xiao Wu!"

Er Ming instantly panicked upon hearing that. On their own turf, how could they let Sister Xiao Wu face danger?

"Let's go."

Daming nodded, his body swiftly bursting from the water.

Immediately afterward, the two Soul Beasts rushed toward the source of the aura.

"Hm?"

The instant Daming and Er Ming left the Lake of Life, Yuan Tiangang, who was stationed in the inner region, sensed it.

His gaze shifted from Xiao Wu, who was being held by Dajin, to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After considering it for a long while, his figure vanished from where he stood.

"Your Highness, I have not failed you."

Inside the small wooden cabin, Bald Qiang suddenly appeared, traces of blood still staining his body.

"Good."

Qin Feng nodded upon hearing this and looked toward the door.

Dajin appeared outside as well, carrying three figures in his hand.

"Your Highness, I got them all!"

After entering the courtyard, Dajin chuckled and casually tossed the unconscious Xiao Wu and the other two onto the ground.

"..."

Watching Dajin throw them around like garbage, Qin Feng's face darkened.

He really did not know how to show any tenderness toward women.

"Your Highness, those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts from the core region of the Xingdou Great Forest seem to have come out."

At that moment, Bald Qiang looked into the distance toward the core region of the Xingdou Great Forest and spoke in a grave tone.

He could sense two powerful auras rapidly approaching their location.

"I know."

Qin Feng was not at all surprised upon hearing Brother Qiang's words. Instead, he seemed to have expected it all along.

Ever since Xiao Wu had revealed her aura, he had known that Daming and Er Ming would not sit still. They would definitely come.

"Brother Qiang, kill them."

After thinking it over, Qin Feng decided to be ruthless. The Xingdou Great Forest would be where he lived in the future, so he absolutely could not leave behind two threats.

Although the barrier's protection meant Daming and Er Ming posed no threat to him, attacking the barrier would consume his Shock Value!

He did not want to wake up every day and see that his Shock Value had fallen into the negatives.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Bald Qiang gave a slight nod. He drew a deep breath, then shot into the air and headed toward those two powerful auras.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to watch the fun too?"

Watching Bald Qiang vanish, Dajin rubbed his palms together, eager to give it a try.

"No."

Qin Feng decisively shook his head. Though he was not strong, he knew his limits.

He was merely a Soul King, and Dajin was only a Soul Douluo. If they went, even the aftershocks alone could shake them both to death. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Besides, if they left and Xiao Wu's group woke up, what if they saw no one guarding them and escaped?

"Ah!"

Rejected, Dajin sighed, a trace of melancholy appearing in his eyes.

He had wanted to watch those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts die.

The reason he hated those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts so much was that, back then, he had clashed with a Soft-Bone Rabbit. Relying on his bloodline, he had thoroughly taught that Soft-Bone Rabbit a lesson.

But who would have thought that the Soft-Bone Rabbit had two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts backing her?

As expected, he had been brutally beaten.

From then on, he silently bore a grudge against those two Soul Beasts.

However, because he was too weak to take on two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts at once, he could only huddle in the inner region and play tyrant there.

"I wonder where that Soft-Bone Rabbit from back then went?"

Dajin muttered softly. If he found her, he would definitely give her a thorough beating.

"Soft-Bone Rabbit? There, isn't that one right here?"

After hearing Dajin's words, Qin Feng pointed at Xiao Wu lying on the ground.

"What?"

Dajin was completely stunned. He carefully examined the unconscious Xiao Wu on the ground.

"Your Highness, how can you tell that she's a Soft-Bone Rabbit?"

Dajin scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Wasn't she a human? How was she a Soft-Bone Rabbit?

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation."

Qin Feng spread his hands. If he had not read the original work, he probably would not have been able to tell that Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast either.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation!"

Hearing those words, shock flashed through Dajin's eyes.

After recalling the strength of that Soft-Bone Rabbit from back then, he instantly became unsettled.

If he was not mistaken, this woman should be the transformed version of that Soft-Bone Rabbit from back then, right?

He simply had not expected that a Soul Beast would really be foolish enough to abandon a hundred thousand years of cultivation to transform.

"Tsk, what a small world!"

Dajin sighed.

"What is it?"

Seeing Dajin's expression as though he had met an old friend, Qin Feng wore a look of eager curiosity.

Could it be that Dajin had some history with Xiao Wu?

He would have to interrogate Dajin properly.

"It happened like this..."

Dajin did not hide anything and truthfully recounted what had happened back then.

"Hahaha, what a miserable child!"

After hearing Dajin's experience, Qin Feng burst out laughing. First Daming and Er Ming had abused him, then Brother Qiang had abused him. Dajin was either being abused or on his way to be abused!

"Let's not bring up the past!"

Listening to the laughter mocking him, Dajin helplessly covered his face.

He had known he would be laughed at if he told them.

"Huh, Dashuai? You came too?"

Elsewhere, after Bald Qiang arrived at the source of the auras, he discovered that Dashuai was currently confronting those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

"Mm."

Yuan Tiangang looked at the bald man who had suddenly appeared beside him and nodded with a smile.

Across from them, Daming and Er Ming had been blocked from proceeding. Their fury surged—so it really was the work of humans!

"Humans! Hand over Sister Xiao Wu, and we can spare your lives!"

Er Ming pounded his chest and roared angrily.

However, neither Bald Qiang nor Yuan Tiangang showed any intention of responding.

"What do you say, Dashuai? One each?"

Bald Qiang ignored Er Ming and casually spoke to Dashuai beside him.

"No problem."

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
