As the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python's terror is self-evident; even the Titan Giant Ape is no match for it.
Qi Ling had no doubt that he would be utterly destroyed by the Sky Azure Bull Python's attack, but he was not afraid at all.
He knew that as long as Xiao Wu was there, she would never stand by and watch him get into trouble.
There's no way around it, that's the advantage of being a prophet. No matter how fiercely you act, you can't escape the fact that I have the script.
As expected, just as the Sky Azure Bull Python continued to create a terrifying atmosphere, trying to test Qi Ling's true strength, a clear and melodious voice rang out. " Da Ming! Stop right now! You're not allowed to lay a hand on Brother Qi!"
Then, Xiao Wu used her amazing jumping ability to leap to Qi Ling's side, glaring angrily at the Sky Azure Bull Python in front of her.
The Sky Azure Bull Python, which was striking a fierce and menacing pose, suddenly stopped in front of Xiao Wu, its mouth agape, unsure whether to close it or leave it open, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape arrived from the side, clearly having Xiao Wu from it. The Sky Azure Bull Python glared at it resentfully, while the Titan Giant Ape helplessly shrugged.
" Xiao Wu, are you alright?" Upon seeing Xiao Wu, Qi Ling immediately stepped forward to check on her. "That silly gorilla, did it accidentally hurt you?"
"I'm fine, Brother Qi. Er Ming was very careful; he didn't hurt me." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously, " Brother Qi, there's something I want to tell you..."
"You don't need to say anything, Xiao Wu. I know you know those two, and you have a close relationship with them," Qi Ling said. "And I also know your identity."
" Xiao Wu, you only need to know one thing: no matter who you are or what your status is, you are my Xiao Wu! My most important little sister!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Xiao Wu's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She buried her face in Qi Ling's arms and cried with emotion.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape both showed complex emotions upon seeing this scene. They had never imagined that there would actually be humans who could so readily accept Xiao Wu's identity.
After crying for a long time, Xiao Wu finally calmed down and snuggled into Qi Ling, saying, " Brother Qi, I saw you wearing golden armor just now, you looked so handsome!"
"But how were you able to block Er Ming's attack? It's very powerful; even Teacher Zhao is no match for it."
"It's nothing, just that I overused a little of my power," Qi Ling laughed. "My Soul Power should have been level 34, but now it's only level 31. That's the price of that punch!"
Xiao Wu hadn't expected that Qi Ling's punch would come at such a high price. Of course, she didn't know that it was all arranged by the system, and thought that Qi Ling was only trying to save her.
Xiao Wu immediately transformed her heartache into anger and began to severely reprimand the Titan Giant Ape, because if it hadn't suddenly appeared and insisted on taking her away, none of this would have happened.
The mighty King of the Forest, one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape feared by all, didn't even dare to raise his head under Xiao Wu Wu's scolding, looking as aggrieved as a little boy being reprimanded by his older sister.
The Sky Azure Bull Python beside it clearly kept a distance, as if afraid of being implicated, showing a willingness to sacrifice its own companion rather than itself.
However, the Sky Azure Bull Python would also have to endure a scolding.
After finishing her rant about the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu immediately turned her gun on the Sky Azure Bull Python and said, " Da Ming, and you too! You actually threatened Brother Qi and said you'd kill him! That's going too far..."
Perhaps in this world, the only person who could berate these two Ferocious Beast like that and still leave them speechless is Xiao Wu!
What many Titled Douluo wouldn't even dare to dream of, Xiao Wu accomplished with ease. Qi Ling could only sigh in admiration, truly living up to her reputation as the mighty and domineering Sister Xiao Wu.
Finally, after Xiao Wu calmed down, the Sky Azure Bull Python cautiously spoke, "Ahem, human, I'm truly sorry. Just as Sister Xiao Wu said, my second brother's reckless actions have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Therefore, as compensation, this ' Dragon Blood Lotus ' will be given to you as a gift from both of us."
As the Sky Azure Bull Python spoke, it used its enormous tail to drag a blood-red lotus flower and placed it in front of Qi Ling.
Although the lotus flower didn't look particularly special on the surface, except for its different color, Qi Ling could sense that it was no ordinary object.
More importantly, as he approached the Dragon Blood Lotus, the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art he was cultivating suddenly increased in speed, subtly revealing his desire for the lotus.
Without a doubt, this lotus flower is of great benefit to him and may very well play an extremely important role in his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art.
Upon seeing the lotus flower, Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, " Dragon Blood Lotus? Da Ming, why did you bring this out? This... isn't this your most treasured possession?"
"It's nothing. If I'm going to give something away, how could I possibly give something of poor quality?" The Sky Azure Bull Python said to Xiao Wu. "Besides, what Er Ming and I treasure most has never been these inanimate objects, but you, Sister Xiao Wu."
"Me?" Xiao Wu pointed to herself in surprise, while the Titan Giant Ape nodded vigorously, seemingly agreeing with what the Sky Azure Bull Python said.
"That's right. My second brother has been worried about you going to the human world, but he couldn't find a way to accompany you," said the Sky Azure Bull Python. "That's why I wanted to test whether this kid could protect you."
"Now it seems he is indeed trustworthy and capable of protecting Sister Xiao Wu. Therefore, it is only right that we give him this Dragon Blood Lotus."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "I see. Please rest assured, as long as I, Qi Ling, have a breath left, I will absolutely protect Xiao Wu."
The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded and said, "Then we can rest assured."
Afterwards, Qi Ling and Xiao Wu bid farewell to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, and headed towards the edge of the forest. The Shrek members were still waiting for them there, and they couldn't afford to stay too late.
" Brother Qi, you said you would protect me, is that true?" On the way, Xiao Wu looked at Qi Ling's profile and couldn't help but ask him.
"Do you remember what I said before? I wasn't just bluffing. I was facing the most powerful force on this continent!"
Qi Ling smiled and said, " Xiao Wu, what I said will not change in the slightest. Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body first."
"Besides, since protecting you requires facing the most powerful force, then all I need to do is build an even more powerful force, isn't that enough?"
Xiao Wu looked at Qi Ling in surprise, never expecting him to have such a grand ambition.
But then, Xiao Wu immediately said with a look of confidence, "Yes, Brother Qi, I believe you can definitely do it."
