Although, in the food chain, rabbits were on wolves' menus!
However, when the age difference between soul beasts was too great, things were naturally different!
The wolf-shaped soul beast, which had originally regarded Luo Fan as prey, saw the suddenly appearing Soft Bone Rabbit. Sensing the incomparably powerful Soul Power emanating from it, obvious shock filled the wolf-shaped soul beast's eyes.
It could not understand at all how this powerful rabbit had appeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Being summoned by Luo Fan for the first time, this was considered the first cooperation between the clan and Luo Fan. The summoned Soft Bone Rabbit worked extremely hard, charging straight in and beating the wolf-shaped soul beast into immediately turning around and fleeing in just a few moves.
"Thank you!"
Knowing that these soul beasts tens of thousands of years old possessed intelligence comparable to humans, Luo Fan thanked it before dismissing the Summoning Technique.
With a bang, the tens-of-thousands-of-years-old Soft Bone Rabbit vanished in an explosion of white smoke, sent back to where it had originally been.
"This Summoning Technique is really useful!"
For the first time, Luo Fan had summoned a soul beast tens of thousands of years old to help him fight, and he was very satisfied.
Of course, summoning others to fight for him in ordinary battles might trouble them too much.
But at certain crucial moments, being able to summon a soul beast comparable to a Titled Douluo to assist him in battle was a very good trump card.
As he continued toward the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, whenever he occasionally encountered soul beasts he could not handle, Luo Fan no longer intended to use the Summoning Technique. Instead, he split off Wood Clones to cover his retreat.
Thus, he left Star Dou Forest without incident.
Inside the hotel, Xue Qinghe sat cross-legged, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appearing behind her.
At the same time, four Soul Rings emerged—yellow, yellow, purple, and black!
Xue Qinghe looked somewhat exhausted.
On one hand, after repeatedly consuming Whale Rubber over the past half year, her physique had greatly improved. Therefore, she had been slightly greedy with her fourth Soul Ring and directly absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
On the other hand, the pressure of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring did not merely test one's physique; it also caused Soul Shock.
Therefore, although her physical condition met the requirements and allowed her to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beyond her level, the Soul Shock had truly been intense, leaving her mind slightly injured.
A moment later, Xue Qinghe withdrew the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Walking to the window, she looked toward Star Dou Forest and sighed softly...
Xue Qinghe inevitably thought of Luo Fan.
This time, she had actually gone to Star Dou Forest to hunt for her fourth Soul Ring.
Yet when they had first met and chatted, she had lied and told him it was her third Soul Ring.
The main reason was that some geniuses on the continent could still achieve a third Soul Ring at the age of twelve!
But having four Soul Rings at twelve was far too astonishing.
As an undercover agent, she was accustomed to not drawing too much attention.
Not to mention that she possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which could not be easily revealed. Otherwise, it would be no different from exposing her identity.
Later, her relationship with Luo Fan had grown increasingly close. He had been willing to teach her his self-created soul skills and had even helped her win over a food-system soul master genius like Oscar...
Thinking back to how she had lied to Luo Fan when they first met, she felt somewhat guilty.
"Luo Fan, you didn't really get into trouble, did you?"
Looking worriedly toward Star Dou Forest, Xue Qinghe murmured softly.
But then she shook her head, her expression becoming more resolute. "Definitely not. With the Wood Clone soul skill, even if he encountered a soul beast he couldn't defeat, he could release a Wood Clone to distract it and escape. He'll definitely be fine!"
She withdrew her gaze, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, it is time for us to depart for Heaven Dou City!"
Pufferfish Douluo's voice sounded from outside the door.
"I already said that absorbing a Soul Ring beyond my level slightly damaged my soul. I need to rest for a few more days!"
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe spoke with a trace of displeasure and could not even be bothered to open the door.
"Your Highness, Luo Fan has returned safely from Star Dou Forest!" Pufferfish Douluo, standing outside the door, added.
The moment his words fell, the door immediately opened. Xue Qinghe's face was clearly filled with delight. "Really? Where is he?"
A carriage left the small town on the edge of Star Dou Forest and headed toward the Heaven Dou Empire.
Inside the carriage, Luo Fan and Xue Qinghe were together.
At Xue Qinghe's questioning, Luo Fan roughly explained the situation to her.
"Oscar and I saw the commotion behind us, so we turned back to take a look because we were worried!"
"Later, I was captured by that Titan Giant Ape and the hundred-thousand-year Human Transformation Soft Bone Rabbit!"
"After seeing my Summoning Technique, the Soft Bone Rabbit clan made a deal with me and had me sign a Summoning Contract with them!"
Luo Fan gave Xue Qinghe a half-true, half-false account.
The truth was that he had indeed signed a contract with the Soft Bone Rabbit and could summon powerful Soft Bone Rabbits to help him fight.
At the same time, because of the Summoning Technique, that hundred-thousand-year Human Transformation soul beast enjoyed extremely strong protection even while walking among humans.
The lie, of course, was that he had been forced by the threat to his life to helplessly sign a contract with the Soft Bone Rabbit clan.
Hearing Luo Fan's account, Xue Qinghe felt lingering fear on one hand.
Luo Fan had nearly died at the hands of the Titan Giant Ape. Moved yet stern, Xue Qinghe told him that he must never do something like that again in the future. Even if she was in danger, he must not rush forward!
"Brother Qinghe, I was just worried, so I thought I'd send a Wood Clone over to take a look!"
Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Luo Fan misunderstood that she thought he had gone because he was worried about her. Naturally, he did not explain.
"I'll find a way to protect myself. In any case, you are not allowed to do this again!" Thinking that Luo Fan had encountered danger and nearly died because he was worried about her, Xue Qinghe felt something soft within her heart stir, and her voice became much gentler!
On the other hand, Xue Qinghe secretly sighed.
"Although after signing the contract, you and that hundred-thousand-year Human Transformation Soft Bone Rabbit are bound by life and death, once you summon her out to hunt, the Soft Bone Rabbit clan will definitely summon you back and kill you for revenge!"
"But even if you cannot obtain a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring or soul bone, being able to summon the entire Soft Bone Rabbit clan to help you fight is not a loss!"
After saying this, Xue Qinghe paused slightly before continuing, "It's just that if that hundred-thousand-year Human Transformation Soft Bone Rabbit wants to use your summoning method to live in Heaven Dou City in the future, you must be more careful. Heaven Dou City is, after all, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. There are naturally quite a few Titled Douluo active there!"
"Huh? Going to Heaven Dou City? Me?"
Luo Fan raised a finger and pointed at himself.
From beginning to end, she had never discussed going to Heaven Dou City together with him, had she?
"What? Do you still want to live alone at Notting Academy and refuse to go to Heaven Dou City with me?" Xue Qinghe asked angrily.
In Xue Qinghe's view, wasn't it only natural for little brother Luo Fan to go to Heaven Dou City with her in the future? Did it even need to be said? Shouldn't it have been something they both understood?
Though she presented herself as Xue Qinghe, she was essentially still a young girl. Never try to guess how a young girl's mind worked!
Outside the carriage, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, acting as guards, could hear Xue Qinghe's angry yet energetic voice coming from within.
"Didn't they say the young mistress's soul had suffered tremors and that she needed to rest for a few more days?" Pufferfish Douluo asked quietly.
"Mind your own business when it comes to the young mistress!" Snake Lance Douluo shot him a glance.
