The moment Tang Ni arrived at her dormitory, Xiao Wu, in the room next door, instantly caught the scent of one of her own kind.
"Just who is it?"
Xiao Wu frowned.
If it were a famous One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast from the Star Dou Forest, she wouldn't say she knew every single one, but she'd certainly recognize seven or eight out of ten.
Such was her status as the "Big Sister" of the Star Dou Forest.
Unless, of course, that Soul Beast didn't come from the Star Dou Forest.
Tang Ni could use the Power of Destiny to mask her Soul Beast aura, but in front of the transformed Xiao Wu, she was no different from the White Bone Demon trying to pose as a virtuous woman in front of Sun Wukong.
After thinking it over repeatedly, Xiao Wu decided to seek out this transformed One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. Perhaps she could even gain a powerful ally to help her successfully carry out her revenge.
Xiao Wu quickly climbed out of her covers.
Glancing at the empty bed opposite her own, she felt an even greater urge to find the person next door. According to Ning Rongrong, she was heading back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find her father.
Through Xiao Lin, Xiao Wu had also learned about the powerhouses within the continent's various factions. For instance, regarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Wu knew they possessed two powerful Titled Douluo.
A moment later, Xiao Wu hurried out of her dorm and arrived at the door next door.
I hope this fellow's ability to hide her aura isn't too weak, Xiao Wu thought. If even a Soul Douluo could see through her true form, the consequences would be unthinkable.
However, the closer Xiao Wu got to Tang Ni, the more she felt a sense of palpitations in her heart.
Is this person stronger than me?
But Xiao Wu quickly felt relieved.
The Soft Bone Rabbit truly wasn't that strong; it only excelled in life-saving abilities.
Knock, knock!
Xiao Wu tapped lightly on the door, her entire body pressed against it as she tried to discern what kind of Soul Beast the other party had transformed from.
However, since Tang Ni had already used the Power of Destiny to conceal herself, Xiao Wu would never know her identity unless Tang Ni spoke up herself.
"Who is it?"
Tang Ni hadn't lived much in the human world; she had only spent a few simple days acting as a human under Tang Hao's care.
Do humans not like to sleep at night?
Driven by curiosity, Tang Ni opened the dormitory door anyway.
She didn't actually sense the One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast aura emanating from Xiao Wu. After all, Xiao Wu had been in the human world for several years and specifically used her own strength to shroud her aura.
In that regard, she was fundamentally different from Tang Ni.
Yet, the instant Tang Ni opened the door and saw Xiao Wu's appearance, she recognized her immediately.
"It's you, that stupid rabbit!"
Tang Ni's face lit up with surprise.
She had once chased Xiao Wu in the past, but the rabbit had managed to escape. Hearing that familiar, insulting nickname, a wave of unpleasant memories flashed before Xiao Wu's eyes.
"You... You are the Aus—"
Before Xiao Wu could finish, Tang Ni pulled her into the room and pressed a forefinger against Xiao Wu's lips.
"Shh!"
"I snuck out in secret to find the Child of Destiny," Tang Ni said, sitting on her bed with a playful arch of her brow, looking quite proud of herself.
In the presence of her own kind, Tang Ni dropped her "aloof goddess" persona. Tang Ni had long known that Xiao Wu was a dim-witted rabbit; there was no way she could have completed Di Tian's mission.
Indeed, because Di Tian wanted to find the Child of Destiny, he had specifically sought out the Sky Azure Bull Python and entrusted the task to Xiao Wu. It was just that Xiao Wu had never returned.
The last time Xiao Wu went back to the Star Dou Forest was merely to find the Soul-Gathering Pumpkin for Tang San.
At that time, Xiao Lin and Tang San's strength already allowed them to have a certain level of self-preservation in the Mixed Zone, so Xiao Wu hadn't even contacted Er Ming.
After Tang San finished absorbing the soul ring from the Soul-Gathering Pumpkin, Xiao Wu took the opportunity to successfully condense her own soul ring.
As for Xiao Lin, he didn't go to the Star Dou Forest at all.
Before Tang San and the others reached Rank 30, he had already gone to find a Blazing Vajra Ape. Xiao Lin had headed further south to the Blazing Path, a small trail within the Valley of Blazing Flames, where he located the Blazing Vajra Ape.
It was precisely because of Xiao Wu's unreliability, coupled with the fact that Tang Ni was always kept under the strict watch of the Scarlet King, that Xiao Wu and Tang San managed to miss each other that time.
Di Tian didn't have the chance to capture Tang San and bring him back.
"Tell me, who was the person you brought into the Star Dou Forest last time?"
Tang Ni grabbed Xiao Wu's arm, her terrifying, monstrous strength making it impossible for Xiao Wu to break free.
"The person I brought last time was my Third Brother! There's no way he could be the Child of Destiny!"
Xiao Wu spoke casually as she watched Tang Ni's expression, but the more she looked, the more her heart raced with alarm.
"No way... could my Third Brother really be the Child of Destiny?"
Xiao Wu discerned a sliver of the truth from the complex look on Tang Ni's face, instantly shocked by her own conjecture.
"Hmph, it's him. He will destroy us Soul Beasts and make our survival even more difficult."
Tang Ni gave a cold snort and released Xiao Wu's arm.
Now she understood; her "god-brother," Tang San, was actually the so-called Child of Destiny.
Tang Ni never doubted the visions seen by her Eye of Destiny.
After Tang San's visit to the Star Dou Forest that time, she felt that the destiny of the Soul Beasts had drained away significantly.
"How is that possible? Third Brother is so kind; he hasn't even killed a single Soul Beast recklessly."
Xiao Wu immediately protested.
Whether it was that time or the even earlier trip with Xiao Lin, neither Xiao Lin nor Tang San had lifted a finger against other Soul Beasts.
"Hmph, that's because you scared all the other Soul Beasts away."
Back then, when Tang Ni discovered that Tang San's providence was affecting the Soul Beasts, she and the Scarlet King rushed to the scene of Tang San's "crime."
Good grief, there was an absurd amount of Titan Giant Ape droppings left there.
It was the "freshly preserved" kind, too.
When Tang Ni revealed the truth of the matter, Xiao Wu immediately shut her mouth and curled her body up, not saying another word.
That "Er Ming's droppings" was something she had previously stashed away in a separate storage soul tool. It was specifically meant to make it easier for Xiao Lin and Tang San to obtain their soul rings.
She hadn't expected...
"But even that doesn't prove Third Brother will do things that are bad for Soul Beasts!"
Once Xiao Wu's mind caught up, she continued to argue back.
Tang Ni thought about it and realized she might be right; even now, she didn't know exactly how the Soul Beasts' destiny was being lost.
Moreover, back when Tang San and the others were obtaining their second soul rings, Tang Ni hadn't felt a single thing.
"Hey, I'm asking you, what has that Third Brother of yours been up to lately?"
Tang Ni wasn't a slacker like Xiao Wu.
After a brief thought, she asked directly.
"Third Brother is the same as always, playing around with Soul Tool Hidden Weapons."
"Soul Tools? What are those?"
Tang Ni wasn't familiar with Soul Tools.
Aside from storage soul tools and some glowing illumination soul tools, she really couldn't see how such things could have any impact on Soul Beasts.
Of course, even Tang San, who was currently researching Soul Tool Hidden Weapons, didn't know the upper limits of Soul Tool technology, let alone a Soul Beast.
The moment Tang Ni fell into silence, Xiao Wu instantly relaxed.
What's the big deal? So the Auspicious Beast doesn't know everything after all.
"Hey, take me to find that Tang San right now. I want to see my 'god-brother'!"
"What? My name isn't 'Hey,' it's Xiao Wu! And besides, Third Brother isn't your god-brother!"
Xiao Wu looked displeased upon hearing Tang Ni's words.
If Tang San was Tang Ni's god-brother, wouldn't that make her Tang Ni's god-sister?
"Stop wasting words and take me there now."
With that, Tang Ni shared some of her experiences of coming to the human world with Xiao Wu.
Finally, the two of them exchanged details to prevent each other from being exposed in human society.
Tang Ni used the Power of Destiny to mask Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura, while Xiao Wu's years of experience in the human world taught Tang Ni how to use soul ring power to simulate a human aura.
Of course, Tang Ni was far too disdainful to actually use Xiao Wu's methods.
