Dragon Duke and Snake Granny

While Wang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing were waiting outside for Chrysanthemum Douluo to enter the Dark Forest in search of Spirit Beast, Xiao Wu, who was in the Green Source Space, noticed that Chrysanthemum Douluo was not there and asked Wang Feng, "Wang Feng, can I come out and take a look?"

The Star Dou Great Forest is Xiao Wu's home. It would be too uncomfortable for her to come home and not come out to feel the atmosphere of home.

Moreover, since she became a soul, she has been staying in Wang Feng's body. Although she is doing quite well, with movies to watch, radishes to eat, and the ability to play by herself, she still gets a little bored after staying in one place for a long time.

"Xiao Wu, aren't you afraid of depleting your Soul Power? If you come out, you'll fall into a deep sleep very soon."

Wang Feng understood Xiao Wu's thoughts, but Xiao Wu was currently in soul form. Once she left the Green Source Space within his body in soul form, Xiao Wu Soul Power would be rapidly depleted and she wouldn't be able to maintain it for long.

"I know, but I wanted to come out and take a look. Even just for a little while."

"Alright then. But Xiao Wu, you must hide your soul aura well. Otherwise, it won't be good if Elder Yue Guan discovers it." Wang Feng hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Xiao Wu's request.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Wu nodded.

After Wang Feng agreed, he released Xiao Wu in her soul form.

The next second, Xiao Wu, tall and beautiful with a full bust, a slender waist, and long, shapely legs, appeared before Wang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's appearance and clothing are exactly the same as Xiao Wu five years later in the anime.

Not only is she beautiful, but what's most captivating about her are her long, slender, and straight legs.

Wang Feng remembered that someone had once made such a comment about Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, the three beauties of Shrek.

Shrek has three beauties, also known as the three wonders: Xiao Wu, with her long, beautiful legs, is known as the "Leg Wonder"; Zhu Zhuqing, with her hot figure and large breasts, is known as the "Breast Wonder"; Ning Rongrong, with her fair skin and slender waist, is known as the "Waist Wonder".

Looking at Xiao Wu and then at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh, "The keyboard immortal was right."

"Xiao Wu." After a year, Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed to see her best friend Xiao Wu again and wanted to hug her.

However, Xiao Wu is currently in a soul state; although she appears to be a physical entity, she is actually an illusion.

"Zhuqing!"

After so long, Xiao Wu was very happy to see her best friend Zhu Zhuqing face to face.

After the two chatted intimately for a few minutes, Xiao Wu looked around, then glanced at another part of the Star Dou Great Forest, her expression somewhat forlorn.

The direction she was looking in was naturally the direction of her former home, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape.

Xiao Wu looked and saw that it was located on a lakeside somewhere in the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Titan Giant Ape, who was drinking water by the lake, seemed to sense Xiao Wu and looked in Xiao Wu direction.

Meanwhile, the Azure Bull Python, which had been slumbering in the lake, quietly rose from the water and gazed in the direction of Xiao Wu, lost in thought.

"Er Ming, did you sense it? It seems to be Xiao Wu's aura?" Azure Bull Python suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm. Although it was very faint, I still felt it. And, Sister Xiao Wu seems to be in a strange state right now. Da Ming, do you think something might have happened to Xiao Wu?" The Titan Giant Ape said, stopping to drink water and looking in Xiao Wu's direction with some worry.

The Sky Azure Bull Python shook its head, looking in Xiao Wu's direction without saying a word.

Although Xiao Wu concealed her soul aura, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were too familiar with Xiao Wu and sensed her presence as soon as she appeared.

Xiao Wu was unaware of this at the time, nor were Wang Feng Zhu Zhuqing.

"Alright, Xiao Wu. Go back now. If you stay outside any longer, you won't wake up for a year or two after you go back."

Seeing that Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were chatting so happily that they had completely forgotten his presence, Wang Feng quickly reminded them.

"Okay, okay. I just wanted to chat with Zhuqing, didn't I? Humph, why are you rushing me? Zhuqing, I'm going back now."

Xiao Wu said something slightly unhappy before looking at Wang Feng and signaling him to take her back.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the Green Source Space, Xiao Wu felt dizzy, and then her solid body became somewhat illusory.

"I've kept you out there for so long, now you realize how serious things are, right?" Wang Feng said irritably, and quickly told Xiao Wu to go inside to rest and recover.

Xiao Wu hummed twice, then returned to her house and quickly fell asleep.

Not long after, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan emerged from the Netherworld Forest.

He was also carrying Netherworld Ghost Vine that had been knocked unconscious.

Boom!

Arriving beside Wang Feng, Chrysanthemum Douluo tossed down the enormous Netherworld Ghost Vine, saying, "Wang Feng, according to you, this is a Netherworld Ghost Vine that's nearly 20,000 years old. But are you sure Zhuqing can absorb it? You know, it takes ordinary people around 10,000 years to absorb their fifth Spirit Ring. The longest it takes is no more than 12,000 years."

Wang Feng nodded and said confidently, "Elder Yue Guan, don't worry. With Zhuqing's current physique, absorbing this Spirit Beast shouldn't be a problem."

"Zhuqing, what do you think?" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Zhu Zhuqing again and asked.

"Master, I can do it." Zhu Zhuqing nodded in confirmation.

"Alright, you're all little Little Monster. The age of your Spirit Ring can't be judged by ordinary people."

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought of Wang Feng's fourth Spirit Ring, which was Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Zhu Zhuqing, who was only fifteen years old and had already reached level fifty. She was indeed not someone that ordinary people could compare to. In the end, after thinking about it, he decided to believe her.

"Zhuqing, begin absorbing."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, took out her dagger to kill the Netherworld Ghost Vine, then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Spirit Ring.

Wang Feng believed that Zhu Zhuqing could successfully absorb the essence because he was confident in her current strength and physique.

When Zhu Zhuqing consumed the Immortal-Grade Herb, she was able to absorb them beyond her level.

Moreover, she absorbed not only Immortal-Grade, but also several spiritual herbs that Wang Feng gave Zhu Zhuqing.

They were mostly spiritual medicines for tempering the body and soul. In addition, Zhu Zhuqing never neglected to Soul Power Body Tempering. Most importantly, Wang Feng often exercised and trained his body with Zhu Zhuqing.

With Zhu Zhuqing's current abilities, absorbing a fifth Spirit Ring that is nearly 20,000 years old would be no problem at all.

While Zhu Zhuqing was absorbing the Spirit Ring, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest...

The two elders and the young boy were searching for a Spirit Beast.

Two of them were women. The older one looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with short, silver-white hair. Although her face was full of wrinkles, it was ruddy-faced, and she held a snake-head cane in her right hand.

Beside the old woman was a very pretty young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl was tall and slender, with short hair that reached her ears. She wore a sleek snake-scale patterned outfit that covered her well-developed figure. Her breasts were full and round, her waist was slender, and her legs were long. She had a pair of large, dark brown eyes with a unique tattoo under them, which added a touch of beauty to her pretty face.

The other man also appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, with silver hair and white patches on his skin, and he held a dragon-headed cane.

If Wang Feng were here, he might recognize these three people.

Two of them were none other than Dragon Duke Meng Shu, the Dragon Lord, Chao Tianxiang, the Snake Granny, both renowned figures on the continent. The two were capable of unleashing Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dragon-Snake Assault, which could rival a Titled Douluo.

The girl beside them was naturally their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.

Only one year has passed since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Meng Yiran, who was originally Soul Elder, has reached level 40 after a year of training, and is only one Spirit Ring away from becoming Soul Ancestor.

For someone around seventeen years old to reach level forty is considered a genius by some.

"Old woman, it seems we'll need some more time to find Yiran's Spirit Ring. Perhaps we should split up and search separately."

"Old man, the Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger. To avoid any accidents, it's better if we don't stay together. Besides, I heard that a Spirit Beast, a demonic creature that kills Soul Master, has appeared here. Even a team of Soul King who went here to hunt Spirit Beast never returned. For our safety's sake, it's better if we stay together."

"Yeah, that's true. Getting those Spirit Ring will probably take some effort."

"It's alright, Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry. Besides, for safety's sake, it's better for us to stay together. Don't you think so, Grandma?" Meng Yiran said with a sweet smile, hugging Chao Tianxiang.

"Yes, that's right." Chao Tianxiang said with a smile, then suddenly sensed some movement ahead and her eyes snapped in that direction.

"Who's there! Come out!"

Dragon Duke had clearly noticed as well, and with his eyes fixed on those ahead, he prepared to make his move.

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand! I'm not Spirit Beast."

Just then, a cheerful voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, rang out, and a blond man dressed in black walked out.

It turned out to be Dai Mubai.

He was instructed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to find powerful human Soul Master in the Star Dou Great Forest so that he could kill them and absorb their Soul Power to improve his own strength.

In the past two weeks, he had encountered several groups of humans, but they were all Soul King level. Today, he finally encountered three people. When he realized that they were Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, he immediately sent a message to Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but who knew that Dragon Duke and Snake Granny would find out.

"Hey, aren't you Dai Mubai from the Shrek Academy?"

Because Dai Mubai performed well in the competition and was thoroughly humiliated, especially by Wang Feng who left him completely helpless, Meng Yiran recognized Dai Mubai immediately upon seeing him.

"You still know him?" Dragon Duke asked, while keeping a wary eye on Dai Mubai. He only relaxed when he realized that the other party was only at the Soul King level. However, he seemed to sense an Evil aura emanating from Dai Mubai, with a particularly strong smell of blood. Thinking of the rumors he had heard before, he couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, I saw him during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. He seemed to be from the Shrek Academy, and he made it to the fourth round, but was later eliminated by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. And I remember, he was beaten so badly by Wang Feng that he couldn't fight back at all." Meng Yiran said, a smile rising on her pretty face as she recalled the scene from the tournament.

When Dai Mubai heard Meng Yiran mention Wang Feng, his face instantly darkened. To him, Wang Feng was a taboo subject, and now Meng Yiran was bringing him up in front of him. When the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger arrived, he would devour Meng Yiran —no, he would keep her and play with her properly.

"Dai Mubai, what are you doing here?" After realizing that Dai Mubai posed no threat to them, Chao Tianxiang asked.

"Oh, me? I was just training here when I unexpectedly encountered the legendary Dragon Duke and Snake Granny. My apologies for my disrespect."

Dai Mubai spoke politely, but there was not a trace of respect in his eyes.

"Experience? I don't think so."

As a powerful Soul Douluo, Dragon Duke has a good eye for people.

Upon noticing the bloody smell and the Evil aura emanating from Dai Mubai, he recalled the recent rumors.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the demon who's been hunting Soul Master and Spirit Beast in the Star Dou during this time Dai Mubai."

"Grandpa, how could he be a demon?" Meng Yiran didn't understand what her grandfather meant.

"Old man, what did you find?" Chao Tianxiang was also a little puzzled. She then glanced at Dai Mubai and frowned as she sensed the strong smell of blood and the Evil aura emanating from him.

"Heh. I didn't expect you guys to find out." Dai Mubai forced a calm demeanor, but inwardly he prayed that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would arrive quickly. Although his strength was not bad now, he was no match for the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.

"Hmph, do you really think you can hide that repulsive aura about you?"

"Old woman, stop wasting time talking to him, just take him down first."

"Okay, let's do it."

Just as the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were about to make their move, Dai Mubai, who was not far away, suddenly unleashed all his dark Soul Power and frantically ran into the Star Dou Great Forest.

When the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny saw the Evil aura emanating from Dai Mubai, they were stunned for a moment. They then tried to chase after him and capture him, but in order to protect their granddaughter Meng Yiran, they ultimately did not give chase.

"This person exudes an overwhelming aura of Evil and reeks of blood; he must have killed many Soul Master. He might have accomplices secretly providing backup. For our continued safety, we cannot afford to be careless."

"Hmm. I have a bad feeling about this, old man. Let's find some Spirit Beast as soon as possible and help Yiran break through to level 40 so we can leave the Star Dou Great Forest quickly."

"Good."

As the three continued their search for the Spirit Beast, Dai Mubai, who had run away, secretly lamented that the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny hadn't pursued them.

"Hmph, I have already informed Lord Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of your whereabouts. You cannot escape."

Dai Mubai sneered and followed the three— Dragon Duke and Snake Granny— at a distance.

Because of the energy aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he was particularly sensitive to the scents of both the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, and was able to follow the three of them without being detected by them.

Meanwhile, when the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger learned that its accomplice Dai Mubai had found a Soul Douluo powerhouse and a Soul Emperor among humans, it excitedly ran towards Dai Mubai's direction.

Although it is only 60,000 years old, its strength is such that even ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might not be able to defeat it. Among humans, only powerful Titled Douluo can make it wary. As for Soul Douluo, they are just food for it.
