Fickle by nature—this is human instinct.
At this moment, Xiao An was crouched in the corner.
In the main hall, Bibi Dong gazed at the new Xiao An and instantly couldn't bear to let go.
New Xiao An: ∑(O_O;)For the first time being treated so intimately by a human, and now shrunk to the size of a cat, New Xiao An felt like crying but had no tears.
Looking at the old Xiao An crouched in the corner, for some reason, New Xiao An suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment and straightened its little back.
"Nothing can escape the law of 'you'll love it eventually,'" Zhou Sidong said with a smile.
"Son, you've gained a lot this time! Among the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, you have the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, the Evil Magic Tiger Whale King, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, and three almost reaching ten-thousand years—the Millstone Ant Emperors. Now you even have Xiao An. Our family can open a Spirit Beast Forest! I've already thought of the theme: The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast Forest!" Bibi Dong teased with a smile, not stopping her cat-petting at all.
New Xiao An's eyes started to glaze over with delight, while Old Xiao An buried its head even lower.
Old Xiao An sighed: "Meow~" (Heh… women…)
"Apparently it's not just humans; Spirit Beasts are the same," Zhou Sidong laughed. "I think this will shock the entire continent, maybe even isolate us. Sometimes, pressing too hard backfires!"
Rebellions existed, but they lacked strength.
A powerhouse like the Spirit Hall, standing above the two great empires, had already alerted them, making future wars inevitable.
"Don't worry, I'm just saying casually; after all, you don't flaunt your wealth."
Bibi Dong finished speaking and then glanced at Old Xiao An crouching in the corner, smiling: "Why are you hiding so far? Afraid I'll eat you?"
Old Xiao An suddenly raised its head, and with lightning speed, shoved New Xiao An aside, reclaiming the spot that was rightfully its own.
New Xiao An's face smashed into the wall, spiderweb cracks forming as chunks fell to the floor.
"Ah! That hurts!" Zhou Sidong winced at the sight.
Old Xiao An: "Meow~" (You cheeky brat! Don't you know first come, first served?)New Xiao An: "Meow~" (First come, first served? You little rascal!)
Immediately, the two "cats" tangled, fighting all the way from the hall to outside, still not stopping.
"They're… jealous?" Bibi Dong sighed helplessly.
"Looks like tigers really are part of the cat family. Families with two cats, take note: don't favor only one, or this is what happens," Zhou Sidong, from his past life experience, mused.
He hadn't expected such reactions even among Spirit Beasts.
"Let the Spirit Beasts solve their own problems. Mom, don't you need a Spirit Ring? Which one do you like? I can give you the Demon Soul Great White Shark King," Zhou Sidong asked.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark King was rebellious, a mount of the Sea God. Ever since Zhou Sidong captured her, she had been constantly demanding release, warning that the Sea God would not let Zhou Sidong off otherwise.
"The Demon Soul Great White Shark King? That's a guardian beast from Sea God Island. Are you sure you're not afraid of Poseidon coming after you?" Bibi Dong shook her head, smiling.
Sea God Island had been sealed for years. Now that the Great White Shark King's whereabouts were unknown, they'd definitely take notice.
"Don't worry. In Xiao Xue's space, no one knows. And when I captured the Evil Magic Tiger Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark, I froze time around us. No one, not even the Sea God, can know where she is," Zhou Sidong assured.
Ten thousand years later, the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was wiped out. Did the Sea God complain?Survival of the fittest is the law of nature!
The weak must learn to endure!You can't live in past glory—look forward!
In the space, amidst golden oceans, the three Millstone Ant Emperors buried themselves, absorbing the overwhelming power. They were just a step away from ten-thousand-year power.
"Let me go! Release me! Or the Sea God won't forgive you!"
Xiao Bai returned to human form, shouting at the air.
"Xiao Bai, have you finished nagging? You've been complaining since we entered; you're tiring yourself, and I'm tired just listening!" the Evil Magic Tiger Whale King grumbled.
"If you're tired, don't listen! Go die!" Xiao Bai snapped back. Their hatred was irreconcilable.
"Xiao Bai! Don't think I won't kill you!" The Evil Magic Tiger Whale King's eyes were blood red, exuding a strong scent of blood.
"Come on, Evil Tiger! Am I scared of you?" Xiao Bai also revealed her true form, locking eyes with the Whale King.
If not for the invisible barrier between them, one would surely die.
"Tut tut tut…" (Should we intervene?) the leader ant commented."Tut tut tut…" (Why intervene? Let them fight!) the second ant said."Tut tut tut…" (They're in the sea; we're on land. Not our business.) the third ant added.
The three nodded. They were at a critical breakthrough moment and had no time to interfere.
Suddenly, the transparent barrier between the Evil Magic Tiger Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark vanished.
"Xiao Bai, still struggling pointlessly?" Zhou Sidong's voice echoed.
"Human! Release me, or the Sea God will never forgive you!" Xiao Bai threatened.
"Xiao Bai, I could kill you right now!"
The Evil Tiger was eager to attack.
But Zhou Sidong said, "Evil Tiger, let's try a different approach."
"A different approach?" the Whale King asked in confusion.
"Human, what do you mean?" Xiao Bai looked around warily.
"???" The three ants had no clue what Zhou Sidong was planning.
"I want to see what kind of Spirit Beast would be born if the Evil Magic Tiger Whale and the Demon Soul Great White Shark… combine. It should be a new species," Zhou Sidong teased.
Xiao Bai turned pale with shock.
The Evil Magic Tiger Whale King was also stunned, speechless.
"Human! How dare you say that!" Xiao Bai's body trembled with anger.
"!!!" The Whale King was too shocked to react for a long time.
"Who told you to shout so loudly?"
As the Whale King said earlier, ever since Xiao Bai arrived, there hadn't been a single peaceful day.
"Evil Tiger, if you hear Xiao Bai say another word, attack! I want to see what kind of offspring comes from your bloodlines merging. You're both ten-thousand-year sea Spirit Beasts, equals in strength—finally, your long-standing feud can be resolved."
With that, Zhou Sidong left.
After he departed, Xiao Bai remained silent, burying her head in the sea.
The Evil Magic Tiger Whale King's face also reddened, feeling embarrassed.
"Tut tut tut!" (Come on! What are you waiting for?) the leader ant yelled."Tut tut tut!" (Evil Tiger, move! If not, we'll!) the second ant chimed."Tut tut tut!" (Zhou big brother! Remove the barrier! We want chaos today!) the third ant added.
"Get lost!"
The Whale King and Great White Shark shouted in unison.
Late at night, at Qian Renxue's residence.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had returned.
As soon as she arrived, she saw the two Xiao Ans, each bruised, while Zhou Sidong was helplessly applying medicine.
"Fighting over attention… I didn't expect to see this among Spirit Beasts. Don't do it again," Zhou Sidong chuckled.
Both the new and old Xiao Ans looked proudly at one another, clearly unwilling to yield.
Zhou Sidong could only sigh, letting the beasts settle their own disputes.
"Sis, you're back."
Zhou Sidong rose to greet Qian Renxue with a smile.
"Just got back. One month gone, and you've grown. Even captured the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. And these two… what happened?" Qian Renxue asked, looking at the two Xiao Ans sitting at the table—one bruised, the other limping.
"Jealousy… even Spirit Beasts have it," Zhou Sidong said with a laugh.
"By the way, while you weren't in Tiandou City, Tang San came to Tiandou Royal Academy looking for you," Qian Renxue reminded.
"Tang San?"
Zhou Sidong was puzzled: "We don't get along. Why would he come looking for me?"
"He wanted to get immortal-grade herbs from you," Qian Renxue explained.
"Immortal-grade herbs?" Zhou Sidong frowned. "Tang San isn't stupid. He must have guessed they were with me."
"On the night you left Tiandou City, Dugu Bo captured Tang San, intending to kill him! At the critical moment, Tang Hao intervened. With Tang Hao backing him, Yu Xiaogang got bold and insulted Dugu Bo. Coincidentally, after being slapped by Dugu Bo, Yu Xiaogang flew into our yard, then was kicked by your mother, then accidentally ended up in the Star Dou Forest… and so on. Finally, he ended up in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Just as Sword Bone Douluo was sparring… he was again knocked away. Your mother thought he wouldn't come back…"
"Yu Xiaogang returned?" Zhou Sidong couldn't help but laugh. Poor Yu Xiaogang! But he was glad.
Qian Renxue smiled: "As you said, Yu Xiaogang returned. This time, your mother wasted no time and let him die!"
"Yu Xiaogang… died?" Zhou Sidong was shocked.
"No, the doctor saved him. He said Yu Xiaogang's face is unbelievably thick—enough to withstand the Haotian Hammer." Qian Renxue laughed, holding her stomach.
Zhou Sidong laughed for a long time.
Yu Xiaogang's face really was impenetrable—even the Haotian Hammer couldn't break it!
Qian Renxue continued: "Later, Yue Guan and Guimei arrived. Together, they defeated Dugu Bo, taking his soul bone. Recently, I gave the soul bone to Zhu Qing."
"Tang Hao… he got his comeuppance!"
So much happened in the month Zhou Sidong was away.
Qian Renxue said: "According to reports from spies in Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang survived but is paralyzed from the waist down. From now on, he'll need a wheelchair. Tang San came to you for immortal herbs to heal him."
"Me giving him immortal herbs? Impossible!" Zhou Sidong shook his head, angry at Tang San's wishful thinking.
"All the herbs are in Xiao Xue's storage space. Except for Xiangsi Duanchanghong, which Yue Guan took, he's still trying to win its approval?"
Zhou Sidong didn't think Xiangsi Duanchanghong would ever choose Yue Guan.
"Yes," Qian Renxue nodded helplessly. "Right now, Ju Douluo is in the room, silently watching Xiangsi Duanchanghong. He wishes he were Xiangsi Duanchanghong itself."
Yue Guan's eagerness for recognition bordered on obsession.
"Let him be; maybe he'll create a miracle," Zhou Sidong waved.
"This haul was huge! You even captured the Demon Soul Great White Shark King!" Qian Renxue laughed.
"Yes. Need its Spirit Ring? I could give it to you," Zhou Sidong said.
Currently, Zhou Sidong hadn't signed a contract with Xiao Bai yet…
"No, the shark isn't suitable for my Six-Winged Angel," Qian Renxue shook her head.
"Alright then."
Zhou Sidong nodded, letting it go.
After staying overnight in Tiandou City, early the next morning, Zhou Sidong returned to Tiandou Royal Academy.
"Zhu Qing, I'm back!"
He approached Zhu Zhuqing, raising an eyebrow.
"One month gone… I… missed you," Zhu Zhuqing said shyly.
Experiencing love had completely captivated her.
"I missed you too," Zhou Sidong smiled, secretly kissing her.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed briefly and said: "Tang San came looking for you."
"I know. All for that useless teacher of his," Zhou Sidong already understood the full story.
"Tang San knows about the herbs," Zhu Qing said.
"He's dreaming," Zhou Sidong snorted at Tang San's unrealistic expectations.
Believing treasures come only to the virtuous?
After lunch, Zhou Sidong and Zhu Qing planned a stroll in Tiandou City. Unexpectedly, Tang San rushed over, followed by a crowd: Liu Erlong, Flan, and the now-six of the original Shrek Seven.
Tang San immediately asked: "Zhou Sidong, did Senior Dugu give you some immortal herbs that day?"
Panting and eyes blazing, Tang San hid nothing. Behind him, Dai Mubai and others stared as if Zhou Sidong was a walking treasure trove.
"Yes," Zhou Sidong nodded, not hiding anything.
Tang San's excitement was barely contained.
"My master was injured by Dugu Bo and is near death. I hope you can lend me an immortal herb to heal him."
"Is Yu Xiaogang dead?" Zhou Sidong smirked.
"What do you mean?" Tang San was stunned.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong bristled.
"Don't be impulsive! We're here to ask for help!" Flan stopped Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong swallowed his anger.
"No," Tang San replied, still angry but honest.
"Then that's settled. If he's alive, why need the herb? Go home. Tiandou Royal Academy doesn't welcome you," Zhou Sidong waved them off.
"Zhou Sidong, set a price. I want to buy some," Flan stepped forward.
"No buying, no selling!"
Zhou Sidong firmly refused.
"Those were given to me by Senior Dugu. None of your business. Coming here in such a rush… I'm guessing you just want the herbs," Zhou Sidong called out.
Caught red-handed, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were embarrassed.
Before coming, Tang San had explained the herbs' effects—particularly the Ji Guan Feng Huang Kui, perfect for Ma Hongjun, which might even solve his Evil Fire problem.
Seeing Zhou Sidong's stubbornness, everyone was at a loss.
The herbs were gifts from Dugu Bo; them asking was unjustified!
"Go!"
Zhou Sidong turned to leave with Zhu Qing.
Ma Hongjun blocked the way: "Zhou Sidong! You're cheating Shrek Academy!"
"Cheating? You're unreasonable. Don't talk about the virtuous owning treasures. These herbs were given to me by Senior Dugu. Yu Xiaogang insulted Dugu Bo in his territory—seeking death! If he dies, that's his problem!" Zhou Sidong said.
Liu Erlong was furious.
"Zhou Sidong, one more word and I'll make you regret it!"
Zhou Sidong ignored the threat, taking out a Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma from his Soul Guide Circle.
"Yes… Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma!"
Tang San relaxed slightly—Zhou Sidong could still help. Liu Erlong also cooled down.
But in the next second, a black cat leapt out from behind Zhou Sidong. He didn't hesitate and fed the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma to Xiao An.
"Don't fight anymore. Love each other," Zhou Sidong patted Xiao An's head, then looked at the dumbfounded Shrek Academy crew: "See? I feed the cat but wouldn't give it to that biting dog Yu Xiaogang!"
