A black figure appeared soundlessly behind Tang San and Xiao Wu.
To Tang San's horror, even with his Purple Demon Eye, he still could not make out the figure clearly.
"You are..."
Before Tang San could finish, panic surfaced on Xiao Wu's pretty face. "A... a Titled Douluo."
"Heh. So it really is you." Ghost Douluo cackled unrestrainedly. "The fish that slipped through the net all those years ago."
Back then, when Her Holiness the Pope had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt for soul rings, she had encountered two hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbits that had taken human form. One had been killed for her soul ring and soul bone, while the other had escaped.
The Pope had always considered this a regret. Bibi Dong had spoken of it many times to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, hoping for a chance to return to the Star Dou Great Forest and capture that rabbit.
"Yes." Deep, venomous hatred burst from Xiao Wu's eyes. "I'm the fish that slipped through your net back then."
"Heh. How foolish, abandoning the immense power of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to take human form and cultivate again from scratch." Ghost Douluo reached out to seize Xiao Wu. "Come with me."
"Wait!" Tang San stepped in front of Xiao Wu and angrily rebuked Ghost Douluo. "What are you doing? Does being a Titled Douluo give you the right to abduct an innocent girl in broad daylight?"
"Idiot!" Sinister ghostly mist swirled around Ghost Douluo, and his overwhelming pressure instantly drained the color from Tang San's and Xiao Wu's faces. "What damned innocent girl? Your friend Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form!"
"So what if she's a soul beast?" Tang San demanded. "You can't take Xiao Wu away."
"Get lost!"
