"Da Ming!"
Hearing the Sky Azure Bull Python's words, Xiao Wu, who was helping Cheng Xiao, turned her head and glared at it unhappily.
The Sky Azure Bull Python sheepishly retracted its head, no longer speaking.
Titan scratched its head, and seeing that its big brother had shut up, it also didn't speak, not wanting to upset Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu helped Cheng Xiao sit down to rest under a big tree. Because the two forest emperors were nearby, the surrounding soul beasts all kept their distance. Not long ago, they had all felt a deathly aura, as if if they weren't careful, they would be going to their eternal rest.
Thus, the soul beasts that had originally planned to watch how the two forest emperors would kill that human were all frightened and fled, staying far away from the location of the two forest emperors.
Several hours later.
Cheng Xiao, whose soul power and shadow power had mostly recovered, slowly opened his eyes. In front of him, the two forest emperors were idly drawing circles. Seeing Cheng Xiao wake up, they didn't have the initial tension and gave him a friendly smile.
Cheng Xiao nodded slightly, just about to get up and stretch, when he discovered that Xiao Wu had fallen asleep leaning on his right shoulder, which made him a little stunned.
"Human kid, I hope you don't take what happened earlier to heart. I did it only to protect Sister Xiao Wu," the Sky Azure Bull Python said, its bull head close to Cheng Xiao's side, explaining.
"Sister Xiao Wu is currently in the stage of soul beast transformation. Although low-level Soul Masters can't see her true form, if she encounters Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo-level Soul Masters, Sister Xiao Wu's identity won't be hidden."
"So, I'm asking you, after you and Sister Xiao Wu return to human society, to protect her. I can see that Sister Xiao Wu... relies on you quite a bit."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao sighed. He didn't have any way to refuse the Sky Azure Bull Python's request. Protecting Xiao Wu was fine, but how could he protect her? Protect her in front of Tang Hao?
That was a Title Douluo, a top-tier powerhouse on the continent, and he was just a two-ring Great Soul Master.
With his current strength, he had no chance against Tang Hao. Unless he left Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest, waiting for her to become stronger before she went out.
But the problem was, could Xiao Wu stay there peacefully? If she could, she wouldn't have left the Star Dou Great Forest for human society, where she met Tang San.
However, because of his involvement, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship hadn't progressed to the same point as in the original timeline. So, knowing Xiao Wu hadn't formed that kind of relationship with Tang San, what would Tang Hao do?
Thinking about this made Cheng Xiao's head ache. Now, Xiao Wu was constantly under Tang Hao's watch. If she didn't go back with him, Tang Hao would probably come looking for him within a night. That would be interesting.
"Senior Sky Azure Bull Python, I will do my best to protect Xiao Wu," Cheng Xiao said with a serious expression.
"Thank you, human boy." Sky Azure Bull Python looked at Cheng Xiao gratefully and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. Can you tell me?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "Senior Sky Azure, you can call me Cheng Xiao."
"Cheng Xiao..." Sky Azure Bull Python's eyes lit up. "A good name."
"Cheng Xiao, when you see me and the second one, just call us Da Ming and Er Ming, okay? Sister Xiao Wu often calls us that."
"Alright, from now on, I'll call you Da Ming and Er Ming."
The three of them exchanged a glance, and except for Xiao Wu, who was still asleep, they all smiled silently.
After a few days of getting along, Da Ming and Er Ming had a deeper understanding of Cheng Xiao. Aside from the fact that Xiao Wu nestled in Cheng Xiao's arms while sleeping at night, which made the two great emperors a little unhappy, everything else was fine.
It's just that when they thought of their beloved sister Xiao Wu, leaving the Star Dou Great Forest and entering the embrace of humans, Da Ming and Er Ming felt a bit sad.
But as Xiao Wu's brothers, if Xiao Wu lived well and met a good human, they wouldn't say anything. As long as Xiao Wu was happy, for them, that was enough.
So, after a few days of painful yet happy companionship, the day of farewell arrived.
After all, Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu were still in school, not Soul Masters who had already graduated.
Watching the two of them prepare to leave, Da Ming and Er Ming were also very reluctant to part. However, they also understood certain things about human society, so, even though they were reluctant, they didn't ask them to stay.
"Cheng Xiao, I hope you'll be a strong person by the next time we meet. We'll have a good spar then," the Titan scratched his head, grinning.
Who knows why, but after spending a few days with Cheng Xiao, the Titan had picked up the head-scratching habit. The gesture, performed by his mountain-sized body, was rather endearing.
"Sure, when I become a Title Douluo, we'll have a good spar," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.
The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded too, saying to Cheng Xiao, "Xiao Wu is in your care. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, come to the Star Dou Great Forest anytime."
"Alright, see you later, Da Ming, Er Ming."
Cheng Xiao waved at the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan, then naturally took Xiao Wu's hand. They exchanged a smile and set off to return to Notting Academy.
A few days later, Notting Academy.
After tireless cultivation, Tang San successfully reached level twenty. Eager to obtain his second spirit ring, he quickly sought out Grandmaster, hoping he would accompany him to acquire it.
Even before Tang San reached level twenty, Grandmaster had already planned which soul beast Tang San would hunt for his second spirit ring. With the help of Notting Academy's headmaster, Ma Nuo, Tang San successfully hunted a six-hundred-year-old plant-type soul beast, the Ghost Vine.
The Ghost Vine was an extremely terrifying plant-type soul beast, possessing incredibly potent neurotoxins. Once pierced by its thorns, both Soul Masters and soul beasts would dissolve into a puddle of pus within moments, ultimately becoming nourishment for the Ghost Vine.
Experienced Soul Masters had methods to defend against the Ghost Vine's thorns and toxins, such as using antidote potions and wearing armor to protect exposed skin, rendering the thorns ineffective.
However, the Ghost Vine's most terrifying ability was its parasitic ability. During attacks, it would release countless tiny seeds that would directly parasitize its enemies.
After absorbing the second spirit ring, all of Tang San's attributes were significantly enhanced. Not only did his Blue Silver Grass become more resilient, but its appearance also subtly changed. At this moment, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was gradually taking on the form of the Ghost Vine.
