"Whew!"
Another indescribable bout of overturning clouds and stirring rain had ended.
Luo Feng and Wang Qiu'er had grown closer still.
Moreover, since they had taken no particularly effective precautions.
As long as neither the man nor the woman had any serious illness.
It was only a matter of time before their family tree sprouted new branches.
"A Feng, shall we go back first thing tomorrow morning? I can hardly wait!"
After their "great battle."
Wang Qiu'er leaned against Luo Feng's shoulder, her eyes hazy, her fingers constantly tracing circles on his chest.
There was simply no hiding the attachment in her voice!
"All right, all right. We'll leave tomorrow!"
"But let's get this straight first. If they're too fierce, I might run at any moment!"
Despite Wang Qiu'er's repeated, chest-thumping assurances.
Luo Feng still felt an instinctive fear of giant dragons.
Back when he had watched the Peerless Tang Sect anime.
That fellow Di Tian had left far too powerful an impression.
Still, Luo Feng was not entirely without something to rely on.
He now possessed the Wind Dragon King's inheritance.
Plus three minutes of Time Stop.
As long as that black dragon did not crush him to death outright, escaping should be no problem.
Soon, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Before they knew it, dawn had arrived.
Although Shrek had been attacked by Evil Soul Masters the previous night.
By the following morning, every trace had been cleaned away.
Shrek Academy operated as usual.
Since both Luo Feng and Wang Qiu'er had inner court status.
They did not need to go through much reporting to leave.
However, the couple holding hands failed to notice.
As they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, a fiery-red figure appeared behind them.
It was Ma Xiaotao.
Perhaps it was a case of curiosity killing the cat.
Or perhaps it was gratitude toward Luo Feng.
Outwardly so stubborn, Ma Xiaotao now resembled a bashful young girl.
She followed them secretly the whole way, unwilling to show herself!
"Luo Feng, and Wang Qiu'er, just who are you two?"
It was a feeling difficult to describe in words.
Perhaps only Ma Xiaotao herself understood.
This senior sister might look fierce.
But what girl was born with a heart of iron and stone?
Ma Xiaotao also hoped to find such a partner, someone who would cherish her.
Moreover, after their several encounters.
Ma Xiaotao's heart had already been occupied by this man before she knew it.
That was why she could not help caring about everything concerning him!
"Husband, wait here a moment!"
"I'll go say hello to Uncle Xiong Jun. He doesn't like you humans very much!"
Soon, the young couple reached the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Unlike the ordinary Soul Beasts outside.
Although these big fellows would also show the Auspicious Beast some respect.
They did not need to keep out of her way.
Strictly speaking.
They were all of Wang Qiu'er's uncles' generation.
When this little lass came home, greeting them was a must!
"Little Auspicious Beast, where did you run off to?"
"Di Tian has lost his temper several times these past few days. He even suspected me of carrying you off!"
Soon, a tremendous roar came from the direction in which Wang Qiu'er had disappeared.
It was a low growl that could make one's hair stand on end.
Yet when addressing Wang Qiu'er, his tone sounded very gentle.
Who would have thought this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of over four hundred thousand years also had a tender side?
"Uncle Xiong, have you seen my Aunt Zi JI?"
"I brought A Feng to see her!"
"What? This human brat outside? You've been with him these past few days?"
As that question rang out.
Luo Feng saw a flash of golden light before his eyes.
A burly man over two meters tall walked out of the valley alongside Wang Qiu'er.
The fellow looked human.
But the earth shook with his footsteps.
This had to be the legendary Xiong Jun!
By comparison.
Wang Qiu'er beside him, though over 1.7 meters tall, looked like a little girl skipping along.
"Uncle Bear, don't frighten my husband!"
"Otherwise, I'll tell Uncle Di Tian you bullied me!"
Seeing Xiong Jun look Luo Feng up and down.
Wang Qiu'er immediately switched into husband-protecting mode.
But the next moment, the burly man sniffed in Luo Feng's direction.
A puzzled look appeared on his face.
"How strange!"
"This brat is clearly human. Why does he have such a strong dragon aura?"
"His vital energy seems even purer than that old black dragon's!"
Xiong Jun was, after all, one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.
And he frequently fought Di Tian.
So he was very familiar with the Dragon Clan's aura.
Clearly, he too seemed to have sensed that pure Dragon King aura coming from Luo Feng.
This also greatly reduced Xiong Jun's hostility toward him!
"Hehe, Uncle Bear, I told you! How could a man I, Wang Qiu'er, chose possibly be ordinary?"
How did that old saying go again?
Marry a rooster, follow the rooster; marry a dog, follow the dog.
As her relationship with Luo Feng grew closer.
Wang Qiu'er's elbow bent ever farther outward toward someone outside the family.
She all but declared her husband the Dragon King reincarnated.
"All right, then. You two can go on."
"Zi JI seems to be in the Redwood Forest not far away. She's probably sleeping!"
"Great, thank you, Uncle Bear!"
Once she learned where Zi JI was, Wang Qiu'er became utterly excited.
Just like a little girl returning to her old home.
She happily hugged Luo Feng's arm and hurried in that direction.
Meanwhile.
Ma Xiaotao, who had been secretly following them, dared not continue forward.
Although that burly man had not taken the form of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
He had given Ma Xiaotao a profound sense of danger.
As though a single glare from him would make her blood congeal.
And Xiong Jun had long since noticed the tail behind the pair.
However, he did not rashly attack.
Instead, he called out a warning toward the woods where Ma Xiaotao hid.
"Little girl from Shrek, what lies ahead is not a place you humans can enter. Don't go looking for trouble!"
Hearing that warning.
Ma Xiaotao could not help retreating several steps.
In truth, she herself knew.
She was already at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest's core.
Even a Titled Douluo would not dare venture lightly into this place.
Yet why was Wang Qiu'er still skipping along?
"Senior, I'm their senior schoolmate. I'll leave right away!"
Though filled with curiosity, Ma Xiaotao still kept a clear head.
If she forced her way in now, that giant over two meters tall would not remain so polite.
Of course, Luo Feng knew nothing of this little incident.
With Wang Qiu'er leading the way, the two soon arrived beside a small river.
In the middle of the river, a beautiful figure could faintly be seen washing her lovely purple hair.
And at the sight of that figure.
The smile on Wang Qiu'er's face grew even brighter.
She waved in that direction from far away.
"Aunt Zi JI!"
"Qiu'er's back!"
Hearing that familiar voice.
The beautiful figure slowly raised her head and turned to look their way.
"Hum!"
Although she was a beauty.
For some reason, when he met that gaze.
Luo Feng suddenly felt as though a savage beast had fixed its eyes on him.
This was Zi JI, the Hell Demon Dragon.
But in front of his little wife.
Luo Feng could only force out a smile.
"Hi, Auntie!"
"I-I'm Luo Feng, Qiu'er's..."
But before he could finish introducing himself.
A very imposing, mature woman's voice reached his ears.
"So you're the little thief who stole away our Star Dou Great Forest's Auspicious Beast..."
