Chapter 85 Arou and Xiaowu, Mother and Daughter
Inside the wooden house.
A two-year-old girl with rosy skin, dressed in a pink dress, is sitting in front of a dressing mirror.
Behind the little girl, a beautiful woman who looked about 70% like her, dressed in an ordinary cloth shirt, was combing the little girl's hair.
These two people were actually two 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbits in human form: Xiao Wu and her mother, A Rou.
For a soul beast to take human form, it needs a human appearance as a reference.
Decades ago, Arou and her daughter Xiaowu, in order to study the human body structure, attacked a team of soul masters who came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings, and captured a human soul master mother and daughter.
Everyone else in the group was killed, leaving only the mother and daughter, both Soul Masters.
Xiao Wu and A Rou's current appearances were derived from the appearances of that mother and daughter Soul Masters when they transformed, and even their names were inherited from that mother and daughter.
Originally, Arou wanted to keep the mother and daughter, but later the mischievous and playful Xiaowu killed them. Their remains were buried behind this wooden house, and the grass on their graves must be dozens of feet high.
At that moment, a sound came from inside the wooden house.
A gentle-sounding yet unusually harsh and irritable voice rang out, and it was none other than Arou's voice:
"Xiao Wu, how many times have I told you not to jump around everywhere? Why won't you listen?!"
"Have you forgotten how your father died? He liked to wander around aimlessly, and that's why he was swallowed whole by a ferocious beast deep in the forest. Do you want to end up like your father, with no trace of your body left?!"
Xiao Wu pouted her pink lips and said in a spoiled, soft voice:
"I just want to go find Daming and Erming to hang out with; it's so boring here."
Ah Rou's voice continued:
"You have now transformed into a human and are no longer a soul beast. If those ferocious beasts find out that you are going to find Da Ming and Er Ming so recklessly, they will devour you whole."
"Now that we have transformed into humans, we are traitors in the eyes of those ferocious beasts. If they discover us, they will never let us go."
Upon hearing her mother mention the ferocious beasts in the deeper, more dangerous areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu immediately shrank back, her little face showing fear.
At this point, Arou continued:
"Also, this is the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Unlike the core area, which is sparsely populated, human soul masters often appear in the outer edge of the forest. We must be careful and not be discovered by human soul masters."
"Humans are no benevolent beings. They are both greedy and evil, and all they know is to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings and soul bones. They are the natural enemies of us soul beasts."
"We are humanoid transformations of 100,000-year-old soul beasts. The 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones on our bodies are priceless treasures to humans. If they discover our whereabouts, they will definitely try every means to hunt us down."
Upon hearing her mother mention humans, Xiao Wu didn't show the fear and dread she felt when hearing about ferocious beasts. Instead, she nonchalantly hummed and said:
"What's there to be afraid of about humans? I killed several yesterday!"
"What? You encountered a human Soul Master?" Arou's hand, which was combing Xiaowu's hair, froze when she heard Xiaowu's words.
Xiao Wu pouted and nodded, saying:
"Yes, on my way to find Da Ming and Er Ming, I encountered a group of human soul masters hunting Soft Bone Rabbits."
"As the ancestor of the Soft Bone Rabbit, I certainly couldn't sit idly by, so I commanded a group of hundred- or thousand-year-old soul beasts to attack them."
Upon hearing this, Arou frowned and asked with a serious expression, "Did you kill them all?"
Xiao Wu's momentum suddenly weakened, and she said dejectedly, "I killed a few, but a few escaped."
"What's going on?" Arou frowned, her expression becoming increasingly serious.
Xiao Wu quickly explained:
"Among that team of human soul masters, there was one soul master with decent strength. I saw that he had five soul rings, one white, one yellow, two purple, and one black. According to the classification of human soul masters, he should be a Soul King."
"It was he who led the remaining humans to fight their way out of the encirclement."
"I could have killed them all, but Da Ming and Er Ming sensed my presence and called for me to come quickly, so I gave up the chase."
"Thank goodness. He's just a Soul King." Arou breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Arou solemnly admonished Xiaowu:
"Xiao Wu, from now on, you must not leave the valley again. Stay in the valley and do not go anywhere else."
"You are still in your infancy and have no cultivation. You cannot hide your soul beast aura at all. If you encounter a human soul master or a Soul Douluo-level expert, your soul beast transformation identity will be exposed."
"When you turn six, I'll find an opportunity to take you to the human world to awaken your martial spirit, and then we'll return to this valley to continue your cultivation."
"Once you awaken your martial soul, with the cultivation level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast as a foundation, your subsequent cultivation will be very fast."
"You must remember, only when you cultivate to the Soul Emperor realm of a human Soul Master and enter the mature stage can you leave, understand?"
Upon hearing her mother Arou's words, Xiaowu's rosy face immediately fell:
"Huh? Staying here all the time would be so boring!"
As a playful, mischievous, and fighting rogue rabbit, how could she possibly sit still? To keep her in this little valley would be worse than death for her.
Looking at Xiao Wu's dejected face, Arou sighed helplessly and let out a sigh of relief:
"I can call Da Ming and Er Ming to come see you if I have the chance, but you are not allowed to go to the Lake of Life to look for them again without permission. It is very dangerous there."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately jumped up like a rabbit. She only heard the first part and didn't pay any attention to the rest.
Just then, Arou suddenly sensed that someone was watching her. She flashed out of the wooden house in an instant.
She landed on the boulder where the ghost had been, her eyes flashing pink light as she scanned her surroundings, but found nothing unusual.
"Could it be that I sensed something wrong?" Arou frowned, muttering to herself in confusion.
After a moment, Arou shook her head and murmured softly:
"Looks like I've been influenced by that brat Xiao Wu; I've become a bit paranoid myself. I have to keep a close eye on her, otherwise she's always running around everywhere, making me worry."
Arou flashed back into the wooden house.
Xiao Wu quickly bounced over and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Arou shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
The outer edge of the valley.
A ghostly figure emerged from the thick darkness of the night, his hoarse whispers emanating from beneath his black robe:
"It's actually a Title Douluo-level transformed soul beast! We almost got discovered. As expected of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its senses are indeed sharp. I didn't expect there to be two transformed soul beasts lurking here. Now that we've identified our target, we should go back and report to His Holiness the Pope!"
Immediately, the ghostly figure transformed into a wisp of mist and returned to Niu Butong's location, carrying him along as they rushed towards Wuhun City overnight.
