Chapter 14

Clearly, even though Xiao Rou was extremely cautious, she did not discover Qian Qianji observing her from the shadows.

A little further ahead was the core region. Xiao Rou stopped; with her current strength as a quasi-Soul Emperor, she had no way to continue forward.

"Let's call Da Ming and Er Ming to come to this location. With them guarding me, I won't need to worry about being discovered by other soul beasts while breaking through."

Xiao Rou was only level 60 now, still just a quasi-Soul Emperor; to become a Soul Emperor, she still needed to self-condense a soul ring.

This period was extremely dangerous; when self-condensing a soul ring, the aura belonging to a soul beast would be emitted.

But it would be fine once she reached level 70.

Once she reached level 70, although she would lose the advantage of self-condensing soul rings, she would be no different from a human, and she would no longer fear exposure.

"Should I call Da Ming and Er Ming?"

"I can't let you call them over; it would only add trouble." Qian Qianji muttered to himself. He stopped hiding and walked out. Originally, he had wanted to watch the rabbit self-condense a soul ring.

Now, that was clearly not possible.

Qian Qianji's appearance gave Xiao Rou a fright.

I didn't even discover this human! He has been tracking me! No, he discovered my identity as a soul beast! Xiao Rou did not hesitate at all and ran directly toward the core region.

Entering the core region, she still had a glimmer of hope; falling into human hands, she would certainly be doomed.

"Little rabbit, I've been observing you for a long time. Today, even if you had wings, you wouldn't be able to escape from my palm." Qian Qianji laughed loudly and revealed his martial soul—the Six-Winged Angel.

A Titled Douluo!

How could it be a Titled Douluo! It's over, completely over!

This time I am doomed! Xiao Rou felt despair.

No matter how fast she was, how could she be faster than a Titled Douluo?

Xiao Rou was caught by Qian Qianji.

Qian Qianji did not hesitate at all and took Xiao Rou away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings! The glaring red only intensified Xiao Rou's despair.

Of course, there was also shock mixed in with the despair.

She had been in the human world for nineteen years; let alone seeing it, she hadn't even heard of any human being able to possess nine hundred-thousand-year-level soul rings.

The power behind this person was monstrous; she would have no way to survive.

……

When Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python arrived at the mixed region where Xiao Rou was abducted by Qian Qianji, Qian Qianji had already left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu did not see her mother, Xiao Rou, and completely panicked.

"Mom, Mom, where are you?"

"Mom, Mom?"

"Da Ming, Er Ming, Mom must have met with misfortune!"

"Mom's aura is still here; Mom must have met with misfortune!"

"Da Ming, Er Ming, let's go save Mom, okay?"

The Azure Bull Python felt bitter inside. They didn't even have a clue now; they didn't even know who had abducted Aunt Rou. How could they even talk about saving her!

The human world wasn't a place they could go to or return from whenever they wanted.

They couldn't even get past the hurdle of Spirit City alone.

And what would be the point of going to the human world? Perhaps Aunt Rou's bones would have been gone for a long time before they even found her enemy.

If they didn't find Aunt Rou's enemy, they might even get themselves killed in the process.

It wasn't that they didn't want to save Aunt Rou, but they were truly powerless! The only way to avenge Aunt Rou now was to kill every human who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings.

……Qian Qianji did not take Xiao Rou directly back to Spirit City, but instead took her to a mountain forest relatively close to Spirit City.

He intended to let Xiao Rou break through to Soul Emperor first; he also wanted to see how a humanoid soul beast self-condensed a soul ring.

"Little rabbit, I know you have reached the bottleneck of a Soul King and are about to break through to Soul Emperor."

"Break through right here now; don't say I didn't give you this chance."

Xiao Rou was slightly surprised; she sensed that the man before her didn't seem to want to kill her too much.

Although she didn't know what purpose this man had, an increase in strength would undoubtedly increase her chances of escape.

Moreover, when she broke through to Soul Emperor, she would emit a soul beast aura. Although it wasn't far, as long as Da Ming and Er Ming chased after her, they would definitely be able to find her.

Although the man before her was a Titled Douluo with nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings, Da Ming and Er Ming were also hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. It shouldn't be a problem for them to fight and retreat back to the Star Dou Great Forest while carrying her.

Amidst these thoughts, Xiao Rou immediately decided to break through.

She sat cross-legged and began to self-condense her soul ring.

A long time passed, and Xiao Rou became a Soul Emperor, her soul power reaching level 61.

It was just that she was clearly disappointed; she did not wait for Da Ming and Er Ming.

Xiao Rou looked at Qian Qianji with apprehension and asked, "What—what exactly do you want to do?"

Qian Qianji asked in return, "I heard that when a human and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast combine, the child born must have innate level ten soul power?"

"It doesn't matter if the soul beast transformed and recultivated or changed into a human."

"I am very curious about this matter and specifically want to verify with you, beauty, whether the rumor is true?"

"I wonder if you are willing to verify the rumor with me, beauty?"

"By the way, I still don't know how to address you, beauty?"

After hearing Qian Qianji's words, Xiao Rou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't killing her, it was just having a child.

She had cultivated to a hundred thousand years and transformed into a human; she already had the intention of finding a new reliance.

She wanted to take revenge, to avenge her deceased husband, but she understood that with her aptitude, a hundred thousand years was the limit; there was simply no possibility of going further.

Only by recultivating as a human and reaching Titled Douluo would she have a glimmer of a chance for revenge.

Of course, finding a reliance in a major power was undoubtedly the best method.

Qian Qianji's full set of hundred-thousand-year soul rings undoubtedly met her internal standards perfectly.

"My name is Xiao Rou."

"I can have a child with you, or even serve you for life and acknowledge you as my master, but I have one condition." Xiao Rou looked at Qian Qianji nervously, fearing that Qian Qianji would refuse her.

This time it was Qian Qianji's turn to be somewhat surprised. Are soul beasts all this sensible? He had been thinking that if the little rabbit didn't comply, he would threaten her, and the little rabbit, fearing death, would have to agree.

"Tell me, what condition?"

"I hope you can help my husband take revenge."

Xiao Rou looked at Qian Qianji anxiously and added, "As long as you agree to help my husband take revenge, I can fulfill my promise to you first."

"But you cannot make me wait too long, making me unable to see any hope of reaching the peak."

"Additionally, I cannot guarantee that the child I bear for you will definitely have innate level ten soul power."

"However, you can use my daughter as a reference. My husband and I are both hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. When I gave birth to my daughter, she was born with ten thousand years of cultivation and spiritual intelligence."

"You are a Titled Douluo; even if the child between you and me isn't innate level ten soul power, it won't be far off."

Qian Qianji nodded silently and asked, "Xiao Rou, tell me first how your husband died, and then I will consider whether to agree to you."
