Meanwhile, in a valley east of Spirit City, south of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lush forests covered the entire hillside, and unnamed wildflowers exuded a sweet fragrance in the mountains.
The stream flows quietly through the valley, and fish frolic and play in the crystal-clear water, bringing joy to those in need.
Occasionally, flocks of birds fly across the valley, chirping merrily.
Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows that lend the valley an air of mystery.
"Splash~~"
Amidst the lush greenery, the little girl peeked out like a little animal, curiously looking around.
A black scorpion braid hung down past her hips, her pretty face was fair with a rosy glow, and her pink and white dress clung to her delicate skin in the wind, making her look extremely petite and adorable.
" Xiao Wu, why are you running around again?"
A woman in her early twenties, dressed in a cloth jacket, grabbed Xiao Wu by the back of her collar and lifted her into the air.
The woman wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she exuded maternal kindness and gentleness.
Her name Ah Rou, she is the human form of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, and she is also Xiao Wu's mother.
"Because it's so boring here, Mom."
Xiao Wu's two feet swung in the air, and her pink bunny slippers were now covered in mud.
And so, just like the girl in Ah Rou's hands, the perfectly good shoes transformed from a cute Xiao Bai into a dirty, muddy rabbit.
"Well."
Ah Rou sighed softly, put her daughter down, and gently brushed the leaves and grass clippings off her skirt. "Take off your shoes, I'll wash them for you."
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Wu skipped around happily, then with two quick 'whoosh' sounds, she flung her shoes off.
These are her favorite cloth shoes, a gift made by her mother based on how she used to look.
"You silly child."
Ah Rou, hands on her hips, tapped her daughter's forehead with a sigh, "Kicking your shoes so far, don't you even know how to be considerate of your mother?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
However, Xiao Wu paid no attention to it and was instead attracted to the stream not far away.
And so, two smooth little feet stepped onto the grass.
In the blink of an eye, the little rabbit hopped into the nearby stream and started playing in the water.
"This child."
Seeing her daughter's innocent and naive appearance filled Ah Rou with both joy and worry.
This world is not peaceful.
Knowing she couldn't survive the Soul Beast Heavenly Tribulation at 200,000 years old, Ah Rou had no choice but to use her 100,000 years of cultivation to transform into a human.
She left the Star Dou Forest and lived in seclusion in the human world, cultivating cautiously until she finally broke through to the Super Douluo realm.
After that, Ah Rou returned to Star Dou Forest and reunited with her daughter, Xiao Wu.
After learning that her mother had only a few hundred years to live after turning into a human, Xiao Wu resolutely chose to stay with Ah Rou, and the two of them would live and die together.
"You've been in human form for over a year now, how come you're still so mischievous?"
Although Ah Rou verbally scolded her, she didn't actually mean to blame her daughter.
She herself had gone through this process, so she knew very well that the Soul Beast Transformation was equivalent to reincarnation and rebirth.
Previous memories, ways of thinking, and bodily instincts will all change.
Just like now.
Even though Xiao Wu, who was still Soft Bone Rabbit, was very clingy to her, she didn't act like a child, even finding joy in playing in the water.
With a different body, I experienced the stream, the meadow, the breeze, and the sunshine from different angles and with different sensations.
Everything feels like a distant memory.
The memory of 100,000 years is immense.
My little head simply can't hold all of this, so I have to discard a large part and keep only the most important ones.
Apart from her most basic memories and her feelings for Da Ming, Er Ming, and her mother, Xiao Wu has almost forgotten her past.
To her, the world was so new and so beautiful.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Why are you looking so gloomy?
Not long ago, Xiao Wu experienced the human world for the first time with her mother.
Although she only caught a glimpse of it from afar, she was genuinely curious about the small village outside the forest and the people living there.
Unfortunately, Ah Rou discovered a Soul Hunting party that had entered the forest, so she had to take her daughter back with her.
"Mom doesn't know either."
Ah Rou held Xiao Wu in her arms, dried her hair, and then changed her into the new clothes she had recently made for her daughter.
A pink dress, a carrot doll, and a small, exquisite bag.
Everything here embodies Ah Rou's love for her daughter.
She hoped that Xiao Wu could continue living such a carefree life.
Since transforming into human form, Ah Rou is no longer as anxious and fearful as she was when she was still Soft Bone Rabbit.
Although human Life is short, as long as she can be with her daughter, Ah Rou is not afraid of anything.
"Human beings are indeed a race favored by heaven and earth."
Touching her chest, Ah Rou felt emotions far more intense and clear than during her time as Soul Beast: "Even though I've only lived a few decades as a human, it's been more exciting than the hundreds of thousands of years before."
As a mother, Ah Rou hopes that Xiao Wu can also experience this wonderful feeling.
Since you've chosen to give up your identity as Soul Beast, then live a good life.
"Hiss!"
Just as she was thinking this, Ah Rou suddenly felt her eyelids twitching wildly.
For some reason, Ah Rou has been feeling uneasy lately, as if some danger is about to approach.
I just hope it's just my imagination.
Since she couldn't find the source of her sense of crisis, Ah Rou could only comfort herself in this way.
"Gurgle~~"
Around the lavishly decorated carriage, flags depicting the Spirit Hall's emblem fluttered in the wind.
Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong sat in the center, facing the entrance.
Beside her was Luo Chen, who was currently holding a book borrowed from the Spirit Hall library and carefully flipping through it.
Hu Liena and Qian Renxue looked at each other from the left and right.
Between the two was a low table with many pastries and a chessboard, specifically for Go.
Douluo Continent has a Go-themed martial Martial Soul, then the game of Go must also exist.
"Um?"
Beside Qian Renxue, Jin Tianyue leaned on the angel sister's shoulder, sleeping soundly.
Gradually, with the slight swaying of the carriage, the little girl rested her head directly on Qian Renxue's lap, showing no sign of waking up.
" Yue'er? Xiao Yue'er?"
Seeing that the girl had no reaction, Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly, but she had no way to deal with this girl.
She and Jin Tianyue have a very close relationship; they are like the little sister next door who grew up together.
However, Jin Tianyue's talent is far inferior to Qian Renxue's.
While Qian Renxue was rigorously cultivating, Jin Tianyue could only watch from afar.
Following the original trajectory, Jin Tianyue awakened his Martial Soul, and Qian Renxue had already accepted the Heaven Dou undercover plan.
That departure lasted for twenty years.
The once close sisterly bond grew increasingly distant, and was eventually completely forgotten by Qian Renxue.
However, in this life, because of Luo Chen's intervention, Jin Tianyue is still that little follower who idolizes Qian Renxue.
The Little Angel dotes on Jin Tianyue.
She was able to get this opportunity to Ascension, thanks in no small part to the pillow talk Qian Renxue gave Luo Chen.
Think about it, with Bibi Dong already eyeing him covetously, the time he could spend sleeping with Luo Chen was pitifully short.
The Little Angel also had to squeeze out one of the few opportunities to promote her little fangirl to Luo Chen.
Qian Renxue: My Little Angel, I tried my best.
"I won!"
Suddenly, Hu Liena cheered softly, "Haha, I told you, you can't beat me!"
"Tsk."
Qian Renxue wasn't angry. As she tidied up the chessboard, she sneered, "You were able to beat me entirely because you relied on your Divine Power to calculate."
"Hmph, so what?"
"A win is a win."
According to the bet between the two women, whoever wins this game of chess will sit next to Luo Chen.
This is a reward that even Bibi Dong agreed to!
That's right, Bibi Dong agreed.
Hu Liena was incredibly proud of her achievement in "snatching food from the tiger's mouth": "Even a teacher can't go back on their word!"
"Um."
Before Bibi Dong could speak, Luo Chen had already closed the book and walked to Hu Liena's side.
"Hehe, Xiao Chen is mine alone now."
Hu Liena happily hugged Luo Chen's arm, her two fox ears popping out as she began to gently rub against Luo Chen.
This is the secret the Little Fox discovered to win Luo Chen's favor.
She discovered that Luo Chen really liked fluffy things.
For this reason, Hu Liena would often unintentionally let her fox tail and ears fall on Luo Chen, enticing him to touch them.
Although during this process, the sensitive fox ears and tail would make Hu Liena feel numb all over and make her feel dizzy.
But as long as Luo Chen likes it, the Little Fox says she can accept anything.
" The Soul Beast Transformation."
Qian Renxue noticed the book in Luo Chen's hand, which contained records of the Spirit Hall's research on known Transformed Soul Beast over the past ten thousand years.
She didn't want the Little Fox to be so unrestrained, so she started looking for a topic. " Xiao Chen, what's the difference between Soul Beast Transformation into a human and a real human?"
"."
Hu Liena immediately realized Qian Renxue's intention.
Seeing Luo Chen put down his book, she didn't want to disturb him, so she could only glare at Qian Renxue resentfully: 'Hmph, you bad woman.'
"That depends on the time it takes to transform."
"Transformation time?"
Even Bibi Dong looked on with curiosity, wanting to hear what Luo Chen would say.
"Based on what I read in the book, I've come to this conclusion."
Luo Chen raised the book in his hand and said, "That's how Soul Beast are treated as almost two completely different individuals before and after transformation."
"To give a simple example, suppose a human's heart beats 80 to 100 beats per minute, while before transforming into human form, the heart rate of different Soul Beast may reach 200 or even 300 beats per minute."
"Some plant-type Soul Beast don't even have a heartbeat."
Different physical structures lead to fundamental differences between Soul Beast and humans.
The Soul Beast Transformation into human form is a rebirth that involves a complete overhaul of its physical organs, hormones, and all its lifestyle habits.
To put it bluntly, men lacking testosterone undergo drastic personality changes, let alone Soul Beast who completely transform into a different lifestyle.
