Chapter 20 Bibi Dong: A real man does things himself! An unexpected surprise, the Blue Silver King?
"Let's go, stick close to your sister."
Bibi Dong was naturally unaware that the "cute boy" beside her harbored such a mature and meticulous plan.
She took it as Lan Yue trusting her, and a feeling of warmth and responsibility welled up in her heart.
Bibi Dong held Lan Yue's small hand tightly, and with Zhao Zi's protection, they stepped into the mysterious Blue Silver Forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, a strange scene unfolded.
The blue silver grass that had been swaying in the wind seemed to come alive the moment Lan Yue approached.
They stopped swaying and fell to either side.
That posture didn't seem like an attempt to avoid something; rather, it seemed like... surrender!
It was as if the subjects had seen the emperor on his tour and respectfully lowered their heads.
They voluntarily gave up a path leading deep into the forest.
"Huh?"
Zhao Zi, who was walking at the front, paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:
"Strange... why do the plants in this forest seem to be actively avoiding us?"
"In the past, when entering the Soul Beast Forest, even on the outer edge, the plants were mostly overgrown with thorns, making it difficult to move forward."
Why is everything going so smoothly today?
Bibi Dong also noticed something was wrong.
But glancing at Lan Yue beside her, who looked perfectly normal and even seemed to be enjoying himself, she had a guess in her mind and explained with a smile:
"Elder Zhao, perhaps this is what is called 'affinity'."
"Little Yueyue's martial soul is a top-tier blue silver type spirit."
Returning here felt like coming home, so it's no surprise that the blue silver grass welcomed him.
"This proves that our choice was correct!"
Zhao Zi felt that this "welcome" was a bit too grand, almost like welcoming a monarch.
However, Bibi Dong's explanation was reasonable, so they didn't investigate further, but they remained vigilant.
The three did not venture too far.
After all, it's for Lan Yue to obtain his first spirit ring, so the age limit can't be too high; around four hundred years is the limit.
Soon, after going deep into the forest for a few hundred meters, Bibi Dong stopped.
Her gaze was fixed on a blue silver grass growing next to a boulder in front of her.
This blue silver grass was quite different from its slender counterparts around it.
Its leaves are broad and thick, with a deep azure blue color throughout, and a faint shimmering light in the veins.
It was more than half a person tall, and the life force it exuded far surpassed that of the surrounding plants.
"That's it!"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes lit up, and she pointed to the Blue Silver Grass, saying:
"Judging from its size and the patterns on its leaves, this Blue Silver Grass has a cultivation level of about 420 years."
"Both the attributes and the age are a perfect match for the limits of Little Yueyue's first soul ring!"
"and..."
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a smile:
"It looks extremely vibrant and resilient."
Zhao Zi nodded slightly in agreement:
"Your Highness has a discerning eye; this is indeed a rare and exquisite Blue Silver Grass."
"Since you've made your choice, then I'll capture him and let this child..."
"No need to trouble Elder Zhao."
Bibi Dong waved her hand, stopping Zhao Zi from making a move.
She turned around, squatted down, looked at Lan Yue, and encouraged him:
"Little Yueyue, you are a man."
"Although you don't have any soul skills yet, this Blue Silver Grass isn't very aggressive."
"I'll back you up, you go and handle it yourself, okay?"
"To become a powerful Soul Master, you must hunt Soul Beasts with your own hands; this is the first lesson."
Looking at the four-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass that exuded an aura of "desire to be devoured" and "desire to return to the emperor's embrace," Lan Yue felt a little strange.
Why would there be a need to hunt?
It would probably sacrifice itself if he just beckoned with his finger.
Well, if this Blue Silver Grass has sentience, it would willingly offer itself as a sacrifice.
However, in order not to shock the world, the whole show still had to be done.
"Um!
I can do it myself!"
Lan Yue put on a brave and fearless act, and drew a delicate short sword that Bibi Dong had given him from his waist.
Lan Yue took a deep breath and, with his short legs, walked step by step toward the four-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass.
Within Lan Yue's spiritual world, an unparalleled pressure belonging to the Blue Silver Emperor was silently spreading.
It precisely enveloped the blue silver grass.
The four-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass, which had been somewhat agitated by the approach of a stranger, froze in place the moment it sensed this aura.
Let alone retaliate, it didn't even dare to tremble its leaves at this moment, completely adopting a submissive posture of "the ruler commands the subject to die, and the subject has no choice but to die".
Sorry, little one.
'For my path to godhood, I have no choice but to borrow your life.'
'Don't worry, becoming a part of me is the pinnacle of your life.'
Lan Yue approached, raising his short sword high, which reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
Just as the short sword in Lan Yue's hand was about to fall, a sudden change occurred!
"call--!!!"
The once quiet and peaceful Blue Silver Forest suddenly seemed to awaken like a giant beast, with a fierce wind raging without warning.
Countless blue silver grasses were whipped about by the sudden gust of wind, making a rustling sound. When they gathered together, the sound was deafening, like a tsunami.
The air was filled with an extremely rich life force, so rich that it was suffocating.
"What's going on?!"
Zhao Zi's expression changed drastically, and the powerful soul power of a Title Douluo erupted instantly, with nine soul rings pulsating beneath his feet.
He flashed forward, instantly blocking Bibi Dong and Lan Yue, scanning his surroundings warily with a solemn expression.
"This aura... this forest has come back to life?!"
Bibi Dong reacted quickly, almost instinctively pulling Lan Yue back and protecting him tightly behind her.
Her soul power surged, her long purple hair danced wildly in the wind, and her beautiful eyes were full of vigilance.
"Little Yueyue, don't be afraid, hide behind your sister!"
However, Lan Yue, who was being protected behind her, felt no fear at this moment.
He suddenly raised his head, his gaze passing over Zhao Zi's broad back and looking straight into the deepest part of the forest.
At the end of that line of sight, it was as if something was calling to him; that throbbing connection made his blood boil.
At the same time, an aged voice echoed throughout every inch of the forest.
The voice didn't seem to be heard with the ears; it was more like it resounded directly from the depths of the soul.
"Your Majesty... is that you?"
"You...you're finally back?"
The voice was filled with indescribable excitement, trembling, and a devotion so humble it was almost ethereal.
Upon hearing that voice, Lan Yue's heart jolted, and he instantly understood.
'Blue Silver King!'
'This is indeed the forest from the original story where Tang Hao helped Tang San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!'
'And the owner of this voice, without a doubt, is the Blue Silver King, who has lived for 85,000 years and has always protected the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline!'
