"What? You two want to come along too?"
Kai looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in confusion. No one knew about his plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, so he didn't understand why Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were so well-informed.
"I heard you're planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Ning Rongrong smiled mysteriously: "Are you going to look for Sister Xiao Wu? If so, Zhuqing and I definitely need to keep an eye on you."
"What kind of logic is that?" Kai was puzzled.
Zhuqing explained with a serious expression: "Because if we weren't there, Xiao Wu is so innocent, she would definitely be tricked by you."
"Indeed, we're here to help Xiao Wu identify scumbags." Ning Rongrong also had a stern face, which made Kai momentarily think he really was a creepy uncle kidnapping children… "Oh, please. Xiao Wu has lived for who knows how long. How could she be innocent? Who could be more innocent than her?!"
Kai rolled his eyes, but he didn't refuse Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing. He figured they also wanted to see Xiao Wu, as their last meeting was… well, the last time.
"In that case, let's pack up and depart."
Afterward, Kai met Feier.
Feier had now become a Spirit Grandmaster.
She possessed two thousand-year spirit rings.
Moreover, her terrifying talent, suppressed for so many years in Slaughter City, had truly rebounded after being released, further aided by her Cultivation in God's Domain.
Her Cultivation had actually approached level thirty.
"Feier's Cultivation speed is too fast. At this rate, it won't be long before she becomes a Soul Elder, right?"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed with a hint of awe. Was this the talent of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul?
"Are you leaving?" Feier asked.
"Yes, to resolve some matters. The Tower of Life needs to introduce more Spirit Beast Origin, so I'm making a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest." Kai nodded.
Feier seemed reluctant, but she didn't voice it.
"Then, you must be careful." Feier said softly.
"Don't worry."
Kai smiled and nodded, then left.
Watching Kai's retreating figure, Feier couldn't help but sigh, as if talking to herself: "My strength is still too weak… Even if I wanted to go with him, I would only be a burden…"
... "Star Dou Great Forest, it's been a long time since I've been here. Our three sisters are finally going to meet again."
Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
Back at Shrek, although Tang San and the others weren't good people, their three girls had a very good relationship. Now that they had left Shrek, this friendship hadn't been severed.
"Star Lake isn't far from us, let's go straight there."
Kai quickly identified the direction and led the two girls over.
Soon, an extremely beautiful lake appeared before the three of them. By then, it was already late, and stars dotted the Star Lake, making it appear exceptionally magnificent. A layer of hazy mist also rose from the lake surface, revealing its ethereal beauty.
"What a beautiful place."
Zhuqing and Rongrong exclaimed simultaneously.
However, the ground trembled violently, and then the enormous figure of the Titan Giant Ape leaped up, landing in front of the three.
"Who goes there?!"
Zhuqing and Rongrong were startled by the Titan Giant Ape. Fortunately, Kai's energy protected them, preventing them from being directly blown away by its aura.
"It's you?"
The Titan Giant Ape quickly noticed Kai, clearly recognizing him.
"Zhuqing, Rongrong!"
An ethereal voice came, it was Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu spotted Zhuqing and Rongrong, rushed forward, and hugged them both, her face beaming with a genuine smile.
The Titan Giant Ape was slightly stunned, and the Sky Azure Bull Python also emerged from the water at this moment, sighing: "Since Sister Xiao Wu returned here earlier, we haven't seen Sister Xiao Wu smile like this."
"Perhaps Sister Xiao Wu was right, only by being with these humans can she find true happiness."
While Xiao Wu and the other two were reminiscing, Kai walked up to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. The Sky Azure Bull Python sized up Kai and whispered: "Your strength… seems to have increased a lot."
"Why is that? I actually sensed a dangerous aura from you." The Titan Giant Ape was somewhat puzzled.
Even against a Titled Douluo, he wasn't afraid.
But now, he felt a threat from Kai.
"I've simply gained some opportunity during this period. I've come this time to tell you two something."
Kai directly stated his purpose.
After listening to Kai's narration, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were stunned for a long time.
"What? You don't need to hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings? How is that possible?"
The Titan Giant Ape was the first to disbelieve.
"Is what you said true?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python asked, but there was no doubt that what Kai said completely overturned their long-held beliefs.
Why were Spirit Beasts and humans incompatible? It was simply because humans needed to hunt them, steal their Cultivation, and use it to enhance their own strength.
If Soul Masters no longer needed Spirit Beasts, wouldn't the conflict between them be reduced?
"It's true, we can testify."
Zhuqing and Rongrong stepped forward and said sincerely.
Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Kai. Seeing her good sisters again, Xiao Wu was also in a very good mood.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I believe them." Xiao Wu spoke up.
Everyone: "…"
You really are innocent enough!
"You've saved Sister Xiao Wu many times, so we're willing to believe your words. It's just that what you said is truly somewhat unbelievable. So, this trip of yours, are you trying to obtain our Origin power?"
Giving a wisp of Origin power, while not life-threatening, would only cause weakness for a period of time.
However, as Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, they would absolutely not easily give up their Origin power. If someone were to hunt them during their weakened state, the consequences would be severe.
"That's not the main purpose. It's because I want to reconcile the conflict between Spirit Beasts and humans, but given the current situation, perhaps the only way is to start with you two."
Kai said with some helplessness.
"Uh, you want us to be your spokesmen?" The Sky Azure Bull Python's expression was strange.
Kai shrugged: "Indeed. Or, you two could help me awaken the one sleeping at the bottom of this lake."
Hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape's expressions changed drastically: "You know about that one?"
"I know a bit, but I don't think she'll wake up anytime soon."
The surroundings fell into a silence.
"We don't fully believe your words, unless… you fight me." The Titan Giant Ape stepped forward, his deep voice resounding.
"?"
Kai's mouth twitched: "What kind of thinking is that? You'll believe me if I beat you?".
