"Aunt Rou, you're saying Sister Xiao Wu was kidnapped by a human expert?!"
Beside Lake of Life, a soul beast dozens of ters long, shaped like a giant python yet possessing an ox head and dragon horns, looked at Ah Rou before him. His tone was filled with worry and shock.
This soul beast was the one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast living within the Lake of Life of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming.
As soon as Da Ming finished speaking,
A giant ape over ten ters tall, covered in thick dark golden fur, pounded its chest and roared twice, expressing its fury.
Its head was enormous, its crimson vertical pupils filled with ferocity and majesty. A savage and violent aura spread from its body.
This ferocious soul beast was the one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast residing beside the Lake of Life—the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.
After roaring furiously, Er Ming imdiately wanted to leave the Lake of Life to search for his sister Xiao Wu.
But at this mont, Ah Rou spoke and stopped the impulsive Er Ming from going after Yun Yuan.
"Er Ming, don't be reckless. That human expert is very, very strong. Xiao Wu has no ability to resist before him. Even if you find Xiao Wu, you won't be able to bring her back."
Hearing Ah Rou's words, Er Ming's violent expression gradually cald down, though he still pounded his chest and roared to vent his anger.
Among the four hundred-thousand-year soul beasts living around the Lake of Life, Ah Rou held the highest status, followed by Xiao Wu, then Da Ming, and finally him.
Although Da Ming and Er Ming were far stronger than Xiao Wu and Ah Rou, they had always regarded Xiao Wu and Ah Rou as family.
"Aunt Rou, then what should we do?"
At this mont, Da Ming spoke up. He was also extrely anxious, but the human expert who kidnapped Xiao Wu was simply too powerful. They had no solution whatsoever.
Hearing this, Ah Rou took out the golden envelope Yun Yuan had given her earlier and looked toward Da Ming.
"Da Ming, this golden envelope was given to by that human expert. He demanded that I deliver it to the Great Fierce Land and hand it to a soul beast nad Di Tian before he would release Xiao Wu."
"I have already transford and no longer possess my forr cultivation. For this matter, I can only co to you."
"Da Ming, Auntie is begging you this ti."
By the end of her words, Ah Rou looked at Da Ming with pleading eyes. The Great Fierce Land was an extrely dangerous place. Once one stepped inside, even Da Ming would be at risk.
But Ah Rou truly had no other choice. Only by completing the mission Yun Yuan assigned could her Xiao Wu return alive.
Hearing Ah Rou's plea, Da Ming did not hesitate in the slightest. His massive head continuously nodded, his eyes filled with determination.
"Aunt Rou, don't worry. I will definitely deliver this golden envelope to the soul beast nad Di Tian."
In Da Ming's heart, he had long regarded Xiao Wu as his elder sister. At the sa ti, he also harbored deep feelings for her.
For Xiao Wu's sake, even if he, Da Ming, had to climb mountains of blades or descend seas of fire, he would do so willingly without regret.
Seeing Da Ming agree, guilt and gratitude appeared in Ah Rou's eyes.
"Da Ming, I'm sorry, but this ti, Auntie truly thanks you."
Da Ming looked at the golden envelope in Ah Rou's hands, circulating soul power around his body before storing the golden envelope away.
Afterward, Da Ming's body gradually disappeared beneath the surface of the Lake of Life, heading toward the Great Fierce Land below.
anwhile, in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest—
Yun Yuan appeared there with Xiao Wu hanging from his right hand. After finding an open area, he slightly released his aura before resting there.
"Little rabbit, I'm going to take a nap for a while. Don't run around, alright? Otherwise, if I catch you, you might beco my dinner tonight."
Yun Yuan tossed Xiao Wu beneath a large tree. After leaving those words behind, his figure vanished from the spot and reappeared, leaning against a branch overhead.
There was still nearly a day remaining before his agreed eting ti with Ah Rou. Since Yun Yuan had nothing better to do, he intended to sleep the ti away.
As for whether Xiao Wu would run away, Yun Yuan was very unconcerned. Not to ntion that, even if Xiao Wu could escape from his hands, Yun Yuan could simply capture her again.
After all, Ah Rou and the other three hundred-thousand-year soul beasts did not have Di Tian's protection. They could only rely on their own strength to survive in this world.
In that case, as long as they remained in the Star Dou Great Forest, they were already within Yun Yuan's grasp.
After hearing Yun Yuan's warning, Xiao Wu, beneath the tree, behaved exactly as Yun Yuan expected. She did not dare to run.
If she got caught, wouldn't Yun Yuan really turn her into food? So she chose the safer option and refrained from causing trouble.
Once her mother completed the agreent with Yun Yuan, she would escape safely from Yun Yuan's demonic claws.
As ti passed, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually covered the entire Star Dou Great Forest, making it appear exceptionally beautiful.
At this mont, Yun Yuan also woke from his sleep and rubbed his stomach. It was ti to go find food.
Looking at Xiao Wu below, already fast asleep, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yuan's lips. Perhaps tonight's dinner would be especially interesting.
He jumped down from the tree and roughly lifted Xiao Wu with one hand, shaking her several tis until she awoke in fright. Xiao Wu looked at Yun Yuan with a resentful expression.
"Human, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan smiled faintly at Xiao Wu and said:
"It's dinner ti, naturally. I'm taking you to eat dinner. Well?"
Seeing the sinister smile on Yun Yuan's lips, Xiao Wu felt that this human definitely harbored ill intentions.
She thought for a mont before finally nodding toward Yun Yuan. Since Yun Yuan was taking her to dinner, she naturally could not mistreat her stomach.
"Alright, then let's go now."
As soon as the words fell, Yun Yuan's figure flashed as he imdiately began searching for tonight's dinner target.
Half an hour later, in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside a barbecue grill, sat two figures.
These two figures were Yun Yuan and Xiao Wu, while roasting on the grill was a Soft Bone Rabbit.
After a while, bursts of enticing aroma wafted from the grill, making Yun Yuan salivate wildly. He could no longer resist tasting the roasted rabbit he had personally prepared.
At this mont, Yun Yuan picked up a skewer of roasted rabbit and handed it to Xiao Wu beside him.
"Little rabbit, this is a top-tier delicacy. Let tell you, I usually never cook."
"But this ti, I personally cooked for your sake, so don't reject my kindness."
Yun Yuan looked at Xiao Wu with great interest while shaking the roasted rabbit skewer in front of her.
"I'm not eating it. Even if you beat to death today, I, Xiao Wu, will never eat my own kind."
Facing the roasted rabbit Yun Yuan handed over, but Xiao Wu sternly refused. She knew it—this human was full of evil intentions. So he had brought her here to eat rabbit.
Rabbits are so cute; why eat rabbits?! This human is truly hateful!
"Not eating? Then there's no helping it, little rabbit. I'll just roast you instead."
"Speaking of which, one-hundred-thousand-year rabbit at should taste even more delicious than ordinary rabbit at, right?"
After saying that, Yun Yuan placed the roasted rabbit skewer back onto the grill. His eyes turned utterly indifferent, as though the next mont he would truly cook Xiao Wu alive.
In the next instant, Yun Yuan grabbed Xiao Wu with one hand, circulating soul power within his body to firmly suppress the flow of soul power inside Xiao Wu before bringing her closer and closer toward the barbecue grill.
