Ling Yun's little fibs surprisingly worked.
Xiao Wu's clear, spring-like eyes were filled with hope as she asked him in a tentative tone.
"Really? Big kitty, you're not lying to me, are you? If you lie to me, I'll be angry."
Ling Yun immediately became unhappy, pulling a long face and seriously retorted.
"Little girl, we've known each other for so long, have you ever seen me lie to you?
I'm not like those cunning, sinister humans! Be good, little girl, call me Big Bro, will you?"
Xiao Wu lowered her head, furrowing her brow, and hesitated for a long time.
She raised her head and sweetly called out to Ling Yun, "Big brother..."
Ling Yun felt his whole body go numb. After persistent coaxing, he'd finally gotten this little girl to fall for it.
He lifted his huge tiger claw and gently stroked Xiao Wu's head, saying,
"Little girl, from now on, you're not allowed to call anyone else 'big brother' without my permission, understand?
Especially those treacherous humans; you must always be vigilant.
Now, I'm your big brother, and I'll be responsible for your life. I will definitely protect you."
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao Wu nodded slightly, agreeing to Ling Yun's request.
Da Ming and Er Ming were actually staring at them with envious eyes.
Ling Yun's lips twitched in embarrassment, and he could only try to say something.
"Of course, whether it's Da Ming or Er Ming, you're both my brothers.
If I ever achieve success, I definitely won't forget you two. I swear to the heavens!"
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance, then surprisingly both shouted at Ling Yun in deep voices.
"Bro!"
"Pfft..."
Ling Yun stumbled, nearly falling flat on his back.
He liked being Xiao Wu's brother, but that didn't mean he liked being the brother of Da Ming and Er Ming.
Especially when he thought about how Da Ming and Er Ming, after becoming Gods in the original story, transformed into burly men and called him "Bro."
Ling Yun felt like countless alpacas were stampeding through his heart!
It would practically mortify him to death.
Ling Yun quickly waved his hands at them, stopping them.
"No, don't call me Bro. With your voices, the 'Bro' you'd say would make my hair stand on end.
If you really want to call me something, then call me Tiger Bro.
Or you can call me Little Tiger... 'Bro' is Xiao Wu's exclusive term for me, understand?"
Ling Yun couldn't be blamed for being so particular; it was just that Da Ming and Er Ming's voices were too rough.
Compared to Xiao Wu's sweet voice, they were worlds apart.
"Alright, Tiger Bro."
Da Ming and Er Ming nodded slightly, quickly changing how they addressed Ling Yun.
Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction, not expecting the reputation of being first on both lists to be so useful.
He'd managed to swindle them with the name of the Gods, and Xiao Wu and the others had actually believed it.
This feeling was simply too exhilarating.
However, Ling Yun hadn't expected that this wasn't entirely a swindle.
Because he was currently at the top of both the Advancement and Potential lists.
As long as he remained at the top of these two lists, he would receive 6% affinity with any God each year.
In a mere 17 years at most, he could accumulate 100% affinity with any God.
At that point, as long as his soul power broke through the hundredth level, he could officially obtain a God position and become a true God.
Whether it was Xiao Wu, Da Ming, or Er Ming.
They all valued Ling Yun's potential, which was why they were willing to acknowledge him as their brother.
"Brother, brother..."
Xiao Wu called out to Ling Yun several times, waking him from his reverie.
"What's wrong, little girl?" Ling Yun looked at Xiao Wu with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Wu clenched her little pink fists, giving Ling Yun a mischievous smile.
"Are we just going to wait here in the Ten-Thousand-Year Core Zone for those humans to arrive, without taking the initiative?"
"There are many of our brothers and sisters in the Ten-Thousand-Year Core Zone. Shouldn't we go deal with those humans and teach them a lesson so they don't dare to act so recklessly?"
Ugh… Ling Yun's lips twitched.
When I was reading novels and watching anime before, I thought Xiao Wu was not only lively and active, but also liked to fight.
Otherwise, Bu Le in the original story wouldn't have been beaten so badly by her…
Ling Yun looked at Xiao Wu's eager eyes and nodded helplessly.
"Alright then, let's take the initiative and give those guys a lesson."
"But to avoid unnecessary trouble, I need to change my appearance first."
Since he had already revealed his identity to the three of them, and they had all opened their hearts to each other, Ling Yun didn't plan to hide anything further from them.
Mainly because the three of them were very sentimental and wouldn't betray him, he was willing to expose his identity.
"Change your appearance? What do you mean?"
Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were all puzzled, not understanding what he was trying to do.
Ling Yun's body began to twist and contort in a bizarre manner.
Right before their eyes, he transformed into a Bloodthirsty Griffon, emitting the aura of a seventy-thousand-year-old soul beast.
(Although Ling Yun had only devoured a Bloodthirsty Griffon with a cultivation of forty thousand years, his cultivation after mimicking it depended on his own.)
The three of them nearly popped their eyes out.
A miracle! This was definitely a miracle!
Before seeing Ling Yun, they had never seen a soul beast that could change its appearance to become another soul beast.
Ling Yun was probably the only one on the entire Douluo Continent who could perfectly mimic other creatures.
What else could this be if not a miracle?
Ling Yun looked at their expressions and chuckled, explaining to the three of them.
"This is a power bestowed upon me by the Gods, fearing that my identity would be exposed and I would be captured.
So, I can transform into other soul beasts or humans."
With this ability, those from Spirit Hall wanting to catch me would be dreaming.
But I still need you three to keep this a secret, or you definitely won't be able to withstand the wrath of the Gods."
The siblings looked at each other.
They couldn't help but feel that Ling Yun was worthy of being chosen by the Gods, possessing such a skill.
Now, if someone were to tell them that Ling Yun wasn't chosen by the Gods at all, that everything before was a lie, they would definitely get angry.
If this wasn't a divine gift, could it be the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger's own ability?
Come on! Who would believe that!
Ling Yun shook his feathers, gesturing towards Xiao Wu.
"Little girl, climb onto my back. Bro will take you out of the core zone to beat up those humans."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up with joy as she climbed onto Ling Yun's back.
After Xiao Wu was settled comfortably on Ling Yun's broad back,
Ling Yun flapped his wings and instantly soared into the air. The thrilling sensation caused Xiao Wu to scream with excitement.
Amidst Xiao Wu's excitement and screams, Ling Yun flapped his wings and flew rapidly towards the distance.
Da Ming and Er Ming watched Ling Yun, who was flying further and further away, with envy. They also launched a lightning-fast attack, chasing after him.
