At this moment, Xiao Wu swallowed hard and stopped asking the Titan Ape for an explanation.
Despite her deep curiosity, she wondered why Dongfang Jing was involved with her seniors and with her.
She touched her cheek, unable to help but recall the slap Dongfang Jing had given her at Notting Academy.
Even my mother has never hit me.
Just then, Dongfang Yao spoke up: "Xiao Wu, please explain."
"I," Xiao Wu, looked up at the Titan Ape, wanting to ask for its opinion.
The Titan Ape said, "She is that person's sister; she can be trusted."
Xiao Wu pouted after hearing this, but screamed wildly in her heart!
Dongfang Jing! What kind of bewitching potion did you give Erming?!
After a while.
During this time, Xiao Wu openly admitted her identity as a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form.
Dongfang Yao was somewhat surprised, but not particularly surprised.
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded: "Aren't you surprised?"
"I have seen what the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King looks like after it has taken human form, so it's alright."
Xiao Wu stared blankly, mouth agape. The Demon Soul Great White Shark King? In the sea?
But that wasn't her biggest concern.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Since you know all this, don't you want to kill me to take my soul ring and soul bone?"
"You've reminded me of something," Dongfang Yao said, and was about to draw her sword.
Xiao Wu was startled and quickly hid behind the Titan Ape, just like a frightened rabbit.
"Little bunny~" Dongfang Yao smiled and stopped teasing her. "Normally, I probably wouldn't hold back. After all, who wouldn't want a 100,000-year soul bone that's so easy to get?"
"And now?" Xiao Wu peeked out and asked, puzzled.
"That's because the Titan Ape is right next to me, and I can't beat it. Besides, it just said that you seem to be related to my brother, so I won't attack you."
Hearing these candid words, the Titan Ape nodded and said, "As expected of his sister, she is indeed different from other despicable humans. Sister Xiaowu, are you friends with Dongfang Yao?"
"Uh, let's not talk about that now. Erming, you shouldn't have come looking for me! Xiaosan is injured, and I was captured by you. He must be very worried!"
Mistress?
The Titan Ape seemed to recognize the word 'three'; it appeared as if it had heard it somewhere before.
It seems to have been mentioned by Dongfang Jing. He said that when he returned to the human world, he would seek revenge on a certain person.
But Erming's stupid brain wasn't up to the task at the moment, so he simply didn't think too much about it.
"Yeah, Titan Ape, you can look for Xiao Wu, but why are you looking for me too?" Dongfang Yao pointed at herself, completely bewildered.
Erming scratched his head sheepishly and said honestly, "I just want to take Sister Xiaowu home and play with her. And you are Dongfang Jing's sister, so you should be able to cook, right? I want to eat your cooking."
Xiao Wu, Dongfang Yao: ...
He was taken away from the group by the Titan Ape, and before he even understood the specifics, outsiders learned his true identity.
Since that's the case, Xiao Wu simply decided not to perform anymore.
Erming stood guard nearby, and it also recognized Dongfang Yao as a human.
So Xiaowu sat cross-legged, her hands forming a delicate pinky gesture, her right palm facing up, resting flat on her thigh, and her left hand held upright in front of her chest.
A huge, white, soft-boned rabbit phantom gradually took shape behind her.
A faint red light gradually spread from Xiao Wu's body. As time passed, the red light transformed into a purple soul ring, steadily coiling around Xiao Wu's body.
Dongfang Yao knew that after transforming, soul beasts not only cultivated at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, but could also generate soul rings on their own.
But they must come into contact with humans and sense their presence; otherwise, they cannot progress.
He ignored Xiao Wu, who had entered a meditative state.
Now that she knew that her capture was just a friendly misunderstanding, Dongfang Yao didn't want to stay there any longer.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guards, lurking in the shadows, should be arriving soon.
After thinking for a moment, she decided that Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast should not be exposed to outsiders for the time being.
After all, it seems that my brother has a good relationship with the 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Furthermore, they could spare Xiao Wu's life and wait for her brother to come and pick her up to see what he planned to do with this transformed soul beast.
After weighing the pros and cons, Dongfang Yao said to the Titan Ape, "The people responsible for protecting me are coming after us. Next time? I'll cook for you again next time, okay?"
Erming could distinguish between what was important and what was not, so he nodded and said, "You can call me Erming too. You and your brother can come and play together next time. Your older brother and I will welcome you."
After saying goodbye and making a promise, Dongfang Yao quickened her pace and returned the way she came.
Before long, they indeed encountered disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
They appeared in front of the girl, all looking somewhat anxious.
The leader said respectfully, "Miss Yao'er, it's so good that you're alright!"
As a disciple of Sword Douluo, Dongfang Yao's status and position are completely on par with Ning Rongrong, the sect leader's daughter.
However, she was captured by the Titan Ape right under the noses of the guards.
If something goes wrong, they will have no way to explain themselves.
But then again, how did Miss Yao'er escape?
Dongfang Yao had already prepared her explanation: "You all heard it just now. For some reason, the Titan Ape knew my brother. It only captured me because I am its sister. After I explained it, it released me."
"I see." The guards didn't suspect anything; the giant ape spoke in human language, and they had indeed heard what it said.
The only puzzling thing is why the deceased Dongfang Jing knew a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"Huh? Miss Yao'er, where is that girl named Xiao Wu?" the leader asked again.
Dongfang Yao remained vague, her face showing worry: "After the Titan Giant Ape put me down, it grabbed Xiao Wu and left, telling me that it had something to discuss with her and would release her after it was done. As for what exactly it was, I don't know."
Before the guard could press further, she said seriously, "But ultimately, she's just an outsider. We need to get back to Rongrong as soon as possible. You've taken a lot of people to find me; what if Rongrong encounters danger?"
The guards were all astonished upon hearing this: "You're right!"
If even a rare existence like a 100,000-year-old soul beast has appeared, then it's not impossible for a dozen or twenty more 10,000-year-old soul beasts to appear as well.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yao took the lead and set off: "You all continue to hide and guard the shadows. If I encounter any ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts on the way, I'll leave them to you."
"Yes, please rest assured." The guard leader respectfully accepted the order and then commanded, "Hidden! Support the Soul Master and assist Miss Yao'er."
"The seven treasures are named: the second is speed, and the third is soul."
Among the arriving guards was a Soul King whose Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
With his powerful boost, the travel speed is naturally extremely fast.
On the road,
Following the map given to her by her brother, Dongfang Yao activated her Star-Gazing Eyes to investigate while remaining vigilant against a sudden attack by soul beasts.
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Wu is clearly only a child, yet she dares to roam the human world so openly? Isn't she afraid of being discovered by powerhouses at the Soul Douluo level or higher?"
She glanced discreetly at the guards lurking in the shadows.
Of all the guards sent by Ning Fengzhi, there were three Soul Saints, the highest of whom had a Soul Power of Level 77.
Fortunately, there was no Contra, otherwise Xiao Wu's true form would definitely have been exposed.
We traveled a long way again.
With her Star-Gazing Eyes activated, Dongfang Yao can see clearly what's happening a kilometer ahead.
Good news: She saw the person, and it was someone she knew.
Bad news: Tang San is chasing after Xiao Wu.
