He had no idea what Ah Yin was thinking; he didn't even know that sending a pot of grass could have such an effect.
Not everything he said to Ah Yin was a lie.
He genuinely considered having Ah Yin transform into human form ahead of schedule.
Ah Yin has a mature, married woman appearance. If she were to transform into human form earlier, would she look like a young girl?
Jiang Yunzhou set off with the three women to the Starry Sky Forest.
After spending a day reaching the edge of the forest, they did not stop to rest, but instead led the team directly into the forest.
"Xiao Wu, does it feel familiar to be back here?"
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly spoke, and Xiao Wu was stunned.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, also looked bewildered: "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Wu stammered, his eyes darting around, "Teacher, I..."
Jiang Yunzhou patted her shoulder, his tone relaxed: "Go ahead and tell me, we'll have to come clean sooner or later. How can we face your family if you don't tell us?"
Ning Rongrong's curiosity exploded: "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"
Zhu Zhuqing was also full of questions.
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and finally mustered the courage to look at her two senior sisters:
“Rongrong, Zhuqing, actually I am a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, my true form is the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit.”
Ning Rongrong & Zhu Zhuqing: "???????"
P.S.: If any of you have a favorite character you'd like to take on as an apprentice, feel free to mention it here, and I'll consider adding them to the storyline.
Chapter 57 Don't you have any conscience?
After learning the truth that Xiao Wu was a soul beast.
Ning and Zhu were struck dumb, standing there with their mouths slightly open and their expressions varied.
There was shock, confusion, and doubt...
Ning Rongrong was the first to come to her senses, her eyes lighting up: "Wow, this is so cool! This is the first time I've ever seen a living, transformed soul beast!"
She pressed down on Xiao Wu's shoulder, looked her up and down, and kept clicking her tongue.
"Xiao Wu~ Are those bunny ears real?"
"You, why did you have to keep this from us? Didn't we agree to be best friends?"
"Now I finally understand why you acted so strangely after you met my grandfather that day!"
She became increasingly excited: "If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have made you worry for those few days!"
Zhu Zhuqing listened to their conversation, seemingly lost in thought.
She knew that what Xiao Wu wanted most right now was their approval.
So, does Ning Rongrong genuinely think it's cool, or is she just being wise in disguise?
She stepped forward and pulled Ning Rongrong aside, then held Xiao Wu's slightly cool hand, her face full of sincerity: "No matter what your identity is, you will always be my third junior sister."
She suddenly understood many things.
No wonder Jiang Yunzhou defended Xiao Wu in front of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Douluo that day; was he backing her up?
No wonder Xiao Wu acted so strangely back then, and didn't even dare to show up for several days.
She glanced at Jiang Yunzhou, wondering if her teacher already knew her identity.
Thinking back to the playful smile on Jiang Yunzhou's face when he first met Xiao Wu, perhaps all of this was part of his plan?
Whether it's her, Ning Rongrong, or Xiao Wu, the teacher's goal has always been very clear.
This teacher is really cunning!
So, only she and Ning Rongrong were kept in the dark, huh?
Xiao Wu was a little confused by the two women's reactions.
The imagined scenarios of being 'rejected' and 'feared' never materialized; instead, I received two genuine acts of care.
Her nose tingled, and she was so moved that she almost cried again.
Looking back now, being a person isn't actually that hard!
If you meet the right person and treat them sincerely, you will truly be rewarded!
Jiang Yunzhou watched as the three women huddled together, putting on a show of sisterly affection, and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Alright, let's pause the sentimental part. We're here not only to equip you with spirit rings, but also to meet Xiao Wu's family."
"Home, family?" Ning Rongrong looked at him blankly.
Jiang Yunzhou tilted his head slightly and said calmly:
"Yes, actually, deep within the Star-Shaking Great Forest, there is a Lake of Life..."
He gave a brief introduction to the situation inside, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing felt their scalps tingle more and more as they listened.
She instinctively grabbed his arm and openly buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"Teacher, do we really have to go? I...I'm a little scared..."
Xiao Wu felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and didn't know how to explain.
After all, his family members were two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, which was indeed a bit frightening to say.
Jiang Yunzhou patted Ning Rongrong: "What are you afraid of? With Xiao Wu here, there won't be any danger, right, Xiao Wu?"
Suddenly called upon, Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, saying, "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
Jiang Yunzhou added, "Moreover, I'm still thinking of getting help from others regarding our spirit rings."
The three women simultaneously exclaimed: "???"
Jiang Yunzhou looked at the three bewildered women and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ning Rongrong raised her hand and said, "Teacher, shouldn't you personally take action and then 'whoosh whoosh' casually grab a few soul beasts for us to kill?"
Jiang Yunzhou waved his hand: "No, no, no! Since we're on their turf, of course we should let Xiao Wu's family show us the hospitality of hosts."
"Daming and Erming need to eat, right? When they're eating, let us absorb some of their spirit rings first, then they can eat, right?"
"Besides, don't you have any conscience at hunting soul beasts in front of Xiao Wu?"
"Honestly, you have no sense at all." He gave her a disdainful look.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.
So you can actually get spirit rings this way?
It seems to make sense, but is it really possible?
Jiang Yunzhou's words directly broke Xiao Wu's defenses.
This man always said the most touching things to her in the most casual tone.
She held back her tears, for she had promised her teacher she wouldn't cry anymore.
"Teacher, is that really what you think?"
"Oh? Is there a problem? This way, it will not only save us trouble, but you should also feel better, right? This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
Ning Rongrong immediately understood and chimed in, "Ah, right, right, right! Xiao Wu, our soul rings are all up to you!"
Zhu Zhuqing also gave her a determined look.
Xiao Wu's voice softened with emotion: "Thank you so much for caring about my feelings. You're all so kind to me..."
As they talked, they kept walking forward at a leisurely pace.
Xiao Wu parted a large patch of thorns, smoothed his disheveled hair, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Why did he have to go through all this trouble to clear a path?
"Actually, I could have Erming come and pick us up."
"Sure, it's getting dark anyway."
Jiang Yunzhou also realized, "Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten about that?"
Wouldn't it be faster and more convenient to have someone guide you on your journey?
Having received approval, Xiao Wu used some unknown method, and not long after, several earth-shattering roars were heard in the distance.
Birds in the forest took flight in fright, and beasts fled in panic. Looking into the distance, one could see one giant tree after another crashing down, billowing smoke and dust.
A massive figure was rampaging through the forest, carving a path through it.
"Wait, Xiao Wu, does your Erming always make such a grand entrance?" Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but complain, this commotion is a bit too much.
Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly; she hadn't expected Er Ming to be so honest.
After thinking about it, I realized it was probably because my arrival excited it too much!
They just pushed their way through like this, so let's just take this noise as a welcome to them setting off firecrackers.
She looked at Jiang Yunzhou, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were clinging tightly to his arms on either side, and felt both amused and exasperated.
"Um, would you like to wait here for a bit? I'll go say hello to Erming first..."
Jiang Yunzhou gave the two women a reassuring look and said to Xiao Wu, "No need. When has your teacher ever needed your protection?"
"It's just a gorilla..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt his arms being held even tighter.
"Grandpa, it's coming!" Ning Rongrong hugged him even tighter.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart also raced. What did she see? A mountain of flesh?
Erming's figure is so visually striking.
As soon as Erming arrived, he immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, seemingly excited about something.
Xiao Wu shouted loudly, "Er Ming, be quiet! You're scaring my senior sister!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Xiao Wu's words, Er Ming actually quieted down obediently, and even looked at Xiao Wu with a pitiful expression.
