Chương 97: Xiao Wu

The three soul beasts, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu, were completely bewildered.

They had no idea where Hyotei and Yuki-tei had come from.

Although they could sense the aura of soul beasts emanating from the two, they had never seen these two before in the Star Dou Great Forest.

And what's going on between these two?

Like Xiao Wu? Has her soul beast transformed into human form? And has she even cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo in human form?

They had a lot of questions, but they didn't dare to ask them.

Regardless, it was Hyotei and Yuki-tei who saved them this time.

The three spirit beasts stepped forward. Xiao Wu was now almost twenty years old. Her appearance was stunningly beautiful yet charming. Her eyes were bright and lively, and her temperament was elegant and refined. She wore a pink dress that accentuated her slender waist.

She had a scorpion braid, her long hair reaching past her hips and down to her thighs, and her skin was fair with a rosy tint.

Hyotei marveled, then circled around Xiaowu twice, looking just like a spoiled young master harassing a respectable woman.

If she hadn't looked like an even younger little girl than Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu would have easily thrown her away with a single backbend.

The Great Ming is a blue bull-headed, snake-bodied creature, standing tens of meters tall. It is an extremely rare and top-tier soul beast.

Erming is a giant ape that is over ten meters tall and looks incredibly powerful.

Although the two soul beasts only had 100, 000 years of cultivation, they were both top-tier soul beasts, and in terms of strength, they were no less than some ferocious beasts that had survived one or two heavenly tribulations.

Unless it's in the icy, snowy environment of the far north, in this Star Dou Great Forest, Ice Emperor might not necessarily be a match for these two.

The two of them standing next to Xiao Wu gave off a Beauty and the Beast vibe.

Based on their instincts as soul beasts, they were not afraid of Ice Empress, because they did not sense any threat from her.

The Snow Empress, on the other hand, made them hesitant to approach.

They sensed a strong threat from the Snow Empress; their animalistic instincts told them that she had the power to kill them.

This can be considered a simple way for soul beasts to judge their strength. By observing the strength of each beast's aura, although it may not be completely accurate, it can give them a general idea of who is stronger and who is weaker.

Of course, this only applies to the situation of these soul beasts themselves.

They couldn't judge the strength of powerful outsiders like Richard.

However, Xia Mi displayed the Dragon King's aura, intimidating these 100, 000-year-old soul beasts.

The lifespans of the spirit beasts present were probably longer than hers. Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming could cultivate for 100, 000 years. Even if they were exceptionally talented, they had probably cultivated for more than 20, 000 to 30, 000 years.

Even a soft-boned rabbit like Xiao Wu is just an ordinary soul beast with only average talent. She may have actually cultivated for a hundred thousand years.

But whether they are spirit beasts or dragons, they all follow the law of the jungle: the strong prey on the weak.

Xia Mi's dragon king aura was clearly stronger than that of these soul beasts.

She wasn't intentionally trying to intimidate these soul beasts by displaying the Dragon King's power; it was a matter of having a voice.

In her mind, there was no difference between soul beasts and dragons; one had to demonstrate strength to have a voice when dealing with soul beasts.

Just like when Richard first arrived, he also demonstrated his strength in front of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

Xia Mi hasn't really shown her strength since she arrived.

Even Hyotei initially thought she was a powerful human.

It wasn't until Xue Di told her that she realized Xia Mi was a dragon king from another world, and not human.

Xue Di has been in the chat group for a while now and has never gone offline since.

Therefore, she had already learned about the basic situation of the group members through the introduction of other group members by Lin Feng and Richard to them at the beginning, as well as some information that the group members inadvertently revealed in their daily chats.

"Don't be afraid. We're not good people, we don't have any bad intentions. We just want to capture you and sell you for money."

"Hehehe—" Xia Mi said with a malicious look.

"Aren't you afraid people will think you're some kind of weird auntie?" Richard thought to himself.

Since becoming virtually invincible in the Dragon Clan world and no longer facing any danger to his life, this guy has become increasingly unrestrained.

Especially after spending some time with Wan Guan, the infamous demoness of the demonic sect, his skills improved even more.

However, this girl was just a bit playful in her spare time, but she never neglected her duties. She never let Richard down when working with her, so Richard just let her be.

Compared to Da Ming and Er Ming, who were tense and ready to explode at any moment, these two had stayed in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest and were relatively simple-minded.

Xiao Wu, having received some education in the human world, could tell that the beautiful-looking senior soul beast was probably just joking with them.

Yes, Xia Mi, who exuded the aura of a dragon king, was naturally recognized by them as a soul beast.

In any case, that aura definitely wasn't human. In the Douluo Continent, if it wasn't human, it could only be a soul beast.

For Xia Mi, it didn't matter what she was mistaken for; it was all her. She could accept being called human, a dragon king, or even a deity.

She is not attached to any particular identity she holds.

That's how it is in her own world. The conflict between dragons and humans, between pure-blooded dragons and hybrids, between hybrids and ordinary humans, and so on—what does it have to do with her? As long as you don't bother her, let them fight it out.

This meant that at least several of these unfamiliar powerful individuals were soul beast experts. This relieved her somewhat.

Although soul beasts aren't necessarily friendly with each other, at least it's better than human powerhouses who would want to kill these 100, 000-year-old soul beasts to get their soul rings and soul bones.

"Senior, you really know how to joke. I am Xiao Wu, a 100, 000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who has transformed into human form. I have just cultivated to the level of a human Soul Master, Soul Emperor, at level 60."

He is the Ming Dynasty, a 100, 000-year-old azure ox python.

He is Erming, a 100, 000-year-old Titan Ape.

We are deeply grateful for the help of all the seniors this time; otherwise, my siblings and I would have fallen victim to the Spirit Hall's cruelty. We will forever remember this kindness, and in the future, if there is anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask, and we will never refuse.

Forgive my ignorance, but I have been in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest for so long and have not yet met any of you seniors.

Do you know the names of all of you senior figures?

Xiao Wu first introduced herself, Da Ming, and Er Ming, and then thanked Bing Di and Xue Di for their help.

Then they took the opportunity to inquire about the group's origins.

Da Ming and Er Ming followed quietly behind Xiao Wu, letting her represent them.

The three of them worked together seamlessly, having grown up together like this. Before Da Ming and Er Ming matured, Xiao Wu and her mother protected them as they grew up.

Even after Xiao Wu's mother's accident and their strength gradually surpassed Xiao Wu's, this situation never changed. Therefore, among the three of them, Xiao Wu, being the weakest, always held the reins.

"No problem, no problem. You're such a sensible and good child. It's normal that you don't know me. I'm not from your world; I come from another world. You can call me Sister Xia Mi."

"Those two young ladies over there are the rulers of the far north of your world. You can call the taller one Snow Empress, and the shorter one Ice Empress. Of course, you can also call her Ice Empress if you prefer."

Xia Mi responded to Xiao Wu's words with a smile, and at the same time introduced her to the two overlords of the far north, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor.

He also subtly encouraged the other party, implying that Xiao Wu could call Hyotei "little sister".

Don't be a coward, the three of you can definitely beat that little dwarf Hyotei. I believe in you. She encouraged Mai with her eyes.

For some reason, there seemed to be a clash between her and Hyotei. The two often bickered and joked around.

After learning that the relationship between Xue'er, Richard, and Xia Mi was much closer than they had thought, Hyotei relaxed.

Although Xia Mi was stronger than her, she still confronted her anyway, refusing to believe that this girl would actually come to fight her.

That scoundrel dragon king definitely wants to steal his Xue'er away.

Hyotei is like a child whose playmate has been stolen, constantly targeting Natsumi.

Xia Mi also noticed this, so she started playing with Xue Di every day, deliberately trying to annoy Bing Di.

It's hard to tell which of the two is more childish.

Xue Di was quite helpless, busy every day resolving the two's lawsuits. Xia Mi, this senior member of the group, was truly beyond her expectations.

She was quite serious when chatting in the group, but she became like this after entering her world.

She even wondered if Xia Mi was acting as her.

Are the other senior members in that group really serious? Or are they just pretending to be serious?

Xia Mi was genuinely kind to her, even willing to help her create a miniature world.

This is the key item that will allow her to take Ice to other worlds in the future.

She had previously considered spending points to ask Richard to make one for her.

We need to prepare this as soon as possible, so that if we really encounter danger, she can quickly escape to the world of other group members with Bing'er.

When Xia Mi arrived, she took over the job without saying a word, and even offered to help her with the materials.

Hyotei glared at her angrily upon hearing her words, as if he wanted to see her as someone with a level two disability.

Xiao Wu glanced at Hyotei, not daring to get involved in the conflicts and grudges between these seniors.

They obediently called each of them "sister".

Although she didn't quite understand what "from another world" meant, she knew about the far north, having seen a brief introduction in the materials of the Human Soul Master Academy.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress—these two seem to correspond to the far north in terms of their soul skills and titles. That place is an icy world with a frigid climate, rarely visited by human soul masters, so it's not surprising that these two darlings of the ice and snow appeared there.

"That handsome guy over there is our main combat force, a god from another world. You can call him Richard—"

"No, let's talk about strength. Call me senior." Richard quickly interrupted Xia Mi before she could finish speaking.

If he were to call him something like "Brother Richard," he feared Tang San might give him a way to get himself killed later.

Besides, judging by their ages, they don't even know who should call the other "brother."

Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were all awestruck by Richard's divine identity, looking at him with reverence. This was a god; they had finally seen a living god.

The goal of all 100, 000-year-old soul beasts is to become gods. Richard can be said to be the ultimate goal for them.

Even a third-level god, or even a priest without a divine position, is a goal they need to strive for their entire lives.

Moreover, although they claim to be gods, they have no understanding of the divine realm and are unaware that gods are divided into many levels.

For soul beasts, becoming a god is extremely difficult; the prospect of surviving a million-year tribulation to become a god is practically an unattainable dream.

The probability of Xiao Wu becoming a god by transforming into a human and rebuilding herself is greater than the probability of becoming a god by undergoing a million-year heavenly tribulation.

And now, the god who was once so far away from them is standing vividly before them.

That almost pilgrimage-like mentality even shocked Xia Mi.

She arrived late and didn't see how Hyotei looked when she met Richard. Back then, Hyotei was no different from the three of them now, including Xiaowu.

Xia Mi muttered: If I had known that the identity of a god was so useful in this world, I could have called myself a god too.

How can she not be called a god when she wields so much power? She is immortal and indestructible, she also wields the laws of her own world, and her strength is greater than that of most gods in this world, so how can she not be a god?

She can call herself a god if she wants.

What a blunder! We should have declared ourselves gods from the start. We should have given that little dwarf a real shock.

After Xiaowu and her two companions greeted Richard with the reverence of pilgrims, Xia Mi then introduced Fenrir and Erii to Xiaowu.

Okay, so this guy also wants to kidnap Mai, just like he kidnapped Erii back then. That's why he's being so proactive.

As for Daming and Erming, they can be taken along; her little world can hold them all. More people, more fun!

It seems she doesn't know that Xiao Wu is the female lead, or maybe she does know but doesn't care.

Just like Erii isn't the main character, didn't she also act without hesitation when she took her away?

How could that loser Lu Mingfei be worthy of Erii? He can't even protect the girl he likes. Rather than let Erii die, he might as well have her follow him.

At least following me is much better than her previous life.

Even Erii's elderly father, Uesugi Koshi, and her older brother, Genjiro, had to acknowledge this.

Erii wasn't always with her in the Dragon Raja world; sometimes she would go back to visit her brother.

Even Genjiro admitted that following Natsumi was Erii's best way out.

Otherwise, putting everything else aside, the excessively high concentration of dragon blood alone would be enough to turn Erii into a mindless Deadpool.

This is something that Genjiro absolutely does not want to see.

Only Xia Mi, that scoundrel Dragon King, could easily balance the concentration of dragon blood within Erii's body.

So even if you tell her that Xiao Wu is the female lead, she'll probably argue that Tang San can't even protect the girl he likes, so it's better for Xiao Wu to follow her, at least that way she'll be safe.

Richard also noticed this; he was present when Xia Mi abducted Erii.

Richard had never intended to build up influence in this world. Being able to recruit the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was already an unexpected surprise.

Let her fight it out; let's see which side Xiao Wu and the other two choose between her and Xue Di.

You could collect some unique soul beasts and throw them into your own little world to enrich the biodiversity.

In this way, with Xia Mi taking the initiative, Xiao Wu's small team quickly became familiar with Richard and his group.
