The First Soul Ring, My Doro Ancestor!

Meanwhile, on Qin Qi's side.

"Ah, such a good Soul Ring got away. What a pity."

"But it doesn't seem to matter much. My Gugu Gaga seems even stronger."

"Come to think of it, if Guga is already this strong, do I even need to cultivate? Maybe I should just give up and loaf around."

Qin Qi reclined in a lounge chair, with Guga lying on his stomach and Uzumaki Guga sprawled across his legs.

Uchiha doro lay on his head while the three little ones ate cookies.

"Doro, doro. (Human, you're such a good person. Doro will give you her favorite Orange.)"

Uchiha doro pulled out an Orange and happily handed it to Qin Qi.

"Thanks, Doro."

Qin Qi broke the Orange apart and gave a little to each of the three little ones first.

"Doro. (Thank you, human.)"

"Guga. (Human is the best.)"

"Guguga. (Human, I want more cookies.)"

All three little ones wore delighted expressions.

"If you're happy, then I'm happy too. Ah, this wonderful life is the best."

As Qin Qi spoke, he put the remaining Orange into his mouth. The instant it touched his tongue, sweetness flooded his heart.

His whole body felt warm and light. Orange was so delicious.

"Crack!"

Qin Qi felt as though some shackles inside his body had shattered—and not just once, but several times.

"Guga?"

Gugu Gaga began to glow and floated into the air. The next second, every cookie in her pocket flew out.

"Guga! (Cookies, don't go, Guga!)"

Gugu Gaga flapped her wings, desperately trying to chase down her cookies.

Yet all those cookies gathered behind Qin Qi, condensing into one enormous cookie.

Then an Orange appeared in Qin Qi's hand.

"Huh?"

Qin Qi looked at the Orange in his hand, then at the giant cookie behind him.

Information immediately surfaced in his mind. He had broken through Soul Scholar and officially become a Soul Master.

This Orange was his first soul skill.

"No, I was only level three before. I broke through to level ten just by eating an Orange?"

"Is that normal?"

Qin Qi thought about it for a long time before giving up. It was not that he had figured it out; he simply did not want to nitpick the details with cute characters.

Whatever. This was pretty good.

"Could this cookie be my Soul Ring? Is that even right?"

Qin Qi stared at the cookie behind him. Uzumaki Guga, Uchiha doro, and Gugu Gaga were also staring at it.

"Guga. (Such a huge cookie.)"

"Guga. (It's Guga's!)"

"Doro. (Let Doro have a taste too!)"

The three little ones immediately grabbed Qin Qi's clothes and started climbing, all wanting to taste the giant cookie.

"Don't move around, you little guys. Hey, hey, hey—the Orange fell."

Qin Qi failed to hold the Orange securely, and it dropped straight to the ground. He bent down to pick it up.

Then a chubby little white hand landed on the Orange before he could.

"This feels awfully familiar."

Qin Qi looked at that chubby little white hand. This scene felt incredibly familiar.

He slowly raised his head, and a chubby, adorably vacant Doro appeared before him.

"This belongs to me... Doro?"

Qin Qi asked tentatively.

"Doro. (Where is this? Is this Orange yours?)"

"Doro. (It smells so delicious. Human, can Doro have a bite?)"

Doro looked at the Orange in her hands. She was an experienced Orange eater who had eaten countless Oranges.

Yet the Orange before her made her want to drool. It looked so delicious.

"You want to eat it? Sure, go ahead. Eat as much as you want. I have plenty more."

Qin Qi could not understand Doro's language, but he understood what she meant and replied.

"Orange. (Human, you're so nice.)"

Doro immediately smiled happily, broke the Orange apart, and handed some to Qin Qi.

"Guga! (What about mine?)"

Gugu Gaga came over and spoke up.

"Doro, doro. (Everyone gets some. Good friends should share.)"

The instant Doro saw Gugu Gaga, she decided that she wanted to be friends with Guga.

This was the story of how Guga Patriarch and Doro Ancestor met!

"Guga. (I want some too.)"

Uzumaki Guga walked over as well.

"Doro, doro. (Ancestor, why are you here too?)"

Uchiha doro came over and asked curiously.

"Doro. (I don't know. I opened my eyes and saw an Orange.)"

Doro replied.

All Doros were one family, and all Gugas were one family too. There would always be a Doro beside Gugu Gaga.

They were friends for life, no matter what world they were in.

"I feel so happy. Is this what it feels like to have both Guga and Doro?"

Qin Qi picked up all four little ones. Having such adorable creatures by his side was truly healing.

"Ah-ah-ah—achoo."

Qin Qi suddenly sneezed. Why did it suddenly feel so cold?

"Why are there even more now?"

Snow Empress walked over from the distance. Seeing that there was one more Doro, she frowned.

"A mature beauty, white hair... could this be Snow Empress?"

"Uzumaki Guga, Uchiha doro, go get her!"

Qin Qi quietly hid in the back. As a weakling, he knew his place and would not foolishly get in the way.

"Guga, guga. (Junior, keep it up.)"

Qin Qi hid behind Uzumaki Guga, while Gugu Gaga hid behind Qin Qi. Their expressions were exactly the same.

"Doro. (Who are you?)"

Doro walked forward without the slightest hostility, a brilliant smile on her face.

"Doro, Orange. (You look so lonely. Would you like an Orange?)"

Doro reached into her pocket, but all her Oranges had already been eaten. She looked pitifully at Qin Qi.

"Here."

Qin Qi immediately understood. He gathered an Orange in his hand and tossed it to Doro.

"Orange. (The Orange human gave Doro, Doro gives to you. Once you eat an Orange, you won't be sad anymore.)"

Doro held the Orange up with both hands. Her body was tiny, but the smile on her face felt incredibly warm.

"I learned to be alone, and I wasn't sad for the whole day."

"Let me get drunk and sing, entertaining myself."

Qin Qi heard the song by his ear and immediately froze. He looked around, but no one seemed to be speaking.

"No, wait! This is fucking background BGM!"

"My Doro actually comes with background music? Is she about to unleash her ultimate move?!"

Qin Qi was dumbfounded. People said Tang Hao came with his own speakers, but that was a joke.

But his Doro really did come with BGM. With this BGM playing, could anyone possibly defeat Doro?!

"This... feels so warm!"

Snow Empress's icy heart suddenly clenched. Looking at the adorable creature before her, she inexplicably felt warm.

She involuntarily accepted the Orange and took a bite. It was sweet.

So sweet that every negative emotion in her heart vanished. She no longer wanted to harm the person before her at all.
