Chapter 771: Black Forest!

Outside the Soul Realm, Bai Zifeng's face looked terribly grim.

"What, not convinced?"

Yun Zhongyue crossed his arms over his chest, and together with Yun Zhongge, the two looked unapproachable.

Bai Zifeng could only swallow his anger, silently vowing that when he returned to the Bai Tribe, he would make his grandfather give the Yun Tribe an unforgettable lesson!

"Second Young Master, shall we go in?"

"Go in! We're already here, why not?"

Yun Zhongyue sneered, "Fine, you're being sensible; my Xiao Ran'er didn't let you in, and as a servant, shouldn't you naturally follow and serve?"

Bai Zifeng trembled with anger, yet finally stepped into the Soul Realm without a word.

Inside the Soul Realm, Qin Feixue and the other four, under Ye Qingran's treatment, recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

During that time, they also heard of Ye Qingran's deeds in Yunzhong City, especially learning that she had been formally recognized by her clan and was dearly loved by her grandfather, the Clan Leader, and her two uncles, which made them all happy for her.

"Instructor Ye, that's wonderful; from now on you'll no longer be a wanderer!"

Qin Feixue's eyes were reddened.

Ye Qingran sighed, "Indeed, no longer a wanderer!"

Having lived two lifetimes, she finally fulfilled the dream of her childhood.

Yun Qing bit his lip, then, sitting not far from Ye Qingran, spoke softly: "According to our Yun Tribe's custom, the clan should hold a recognition ceremony for you and inscribe your name on the clan genealogy. However, you've stayed with the Yun Tribe too briefly this time, and we haven't had time to prepare."

"It's fine; those formalities aren't important. At worst we can add them later."

Yun Qing also nodded in agreement.

"How have you all been while I've been away?"

Duan Yu replied, "Instructor Ye, after you left, a few of us went to the Duanhun Sea. At that time the Duanhun Sea had not yet erupted; we found a tranquil spot to cultivate. Later the Duanhun Sea erupted, and the elemental forces of the Four Great Realms began to surge, drawing more and more people in. We also ventured into the Four Great Realms, and only arrived in the Soul Realm yesterday, never expecting..."

Who could have thought that just after arriving in the Soul Realm, Lu Yunfeng ran into trouble!

All five lowered their heads, and even the usually talkative Hong Wu was silent beyond her nature at this moment.

It was evident that they all felt guilty, because before Ye Qingran left, she had reminded them to look after Lu Yunfeng, whose human soul was missing.

They did not.

Ye Qingran shook her head, laughing, "What are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if I had been there, the outcome would probably be the same as now."

"Indeed, brothers and sisters, now is not the time for self‑pity."

"You should pull yourselves together, turn grief into strength, and find Brother Wind."

Xiao Hu Xiao Chen's innocent voice dispelled the gloom in their hearts.

"Alright!"

Ye Qingran stood up, "You've all recovered enough; let's set out."

The party walked deeper into the Soul Realm; along the way, the number of lingering souls increased, some even attacked people, but it was more startling than harmful.

"Aunt, I sense Mother!"

Feng Xiaohuo suddenly halted, shouting excitedly.

"Which direction?"

Feng Xiaohuo pointed his hand toward the right‑front.

"We'll go there!"

After walking forward for half an hour, through the thin mist they could vaguely see that ahead was, surprisingly, a forest!

"Huh? The last time I entered the Soul Realm I never saw a forest!"

"Me too!"

According to those who had previously entered the Soul Realm, it had always been a barren desert, with only scattered stones on the ground and no other vegetation in sight.

Of course, there were no animals either!

The thin mist gradually cleared, revealing the forest's clear outline ahead.

Black!

It turned out to be a Black Forest!

Wow~

A flock of black crows burst from the trees, emitting a few chilling cries.

Many of the Yun Tribe were startled by the scene, feeling a tingling on their scalp.

"Aunt, let's go; my mother is inside this forest!"

Feng Xiaohuo, however, showed no hint of fear,

"Hmm."

As they moved forward, a rustle was heard, and a seductive female voice floated toward them.

"Want to get on me? Can't even pee and take a look at yourself!"

Upon hearing that, Feng Xiaohuo immediately said, "It's my mother!" and sprinted forward, with Ye Qingran and the others close behind.

When they pushed aside the foliage, a bright figure suddenly appeared in their view.

The woman wore a flowing pink‑red long dress, loose and draped; her hair was tied with a matching ribbon, the neckline open to reveal a delicate clavicle, the skirt split high, and a white, long leg made one's blood surge.

Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes held spring water, a wisp of mist swirled, exuding innate charm and countless allure!

She was a woman like a fairy!

Before the crowd's amazement could linger, the two men before her suddenly mutated!

They had originally been two normal men; aside from slight differences in appearance, they had no major issues, but their bodies began to swell violently, tearing their clothes, their skin turning bluish‑purple, fangs sprouting from their mouths, and their flesh bulging!

"What's happening?"

In the blink of an eye, the two turned into two beasts!

One was a humanoid wolf head, looking exactly like a werewolf from a vampire world!

The other was an enormous, upright‑walking bear!

"Bastard! We'll tear you apart!"

The deep voice, with a hint of echo, reverberated in everyone's ears.

Facing the two half‑human, half‑beast things before them, many members of the Yun Tribe were terrified, but Feng Xianyin curled her pink lips and clicked lightly, "Then let's see whether I chop you first, or you tear me first!"

After the words fell, Feng Xianyin raised her hand, a flash of light flickered in her palm, and an axe appeared in her hand.

The axe was huge, as long as her own height.

A fairy‑like beauty wielding such a massive axe looked utterly incongruous.

Feng Xianyin crouched briefly, then sprang upward, and the already sizable axe in her hand instantly swelled tenfold!

The crowd saw a nearly twenty‑meter‑tall massive axe swing down fiercely, cutting the two beast‑men in half!

Silence!

This scene left everyone staring dumbfounded.

Who could have imagined Feng Xianyin to be so ferocious!

After the chop, the axe in Feng Xianyin's hand shrank back to normal size; she slung it over her shoulder, glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and sneered, "Is that all? No force!"

She said, putting the axe away.

"Mother!"

Hearing the voice, Feng Xianyin turned around swiftly, and when she saw Feng Xiaohuo, a brilliant smile lit her face, "Xiao Huo! You finally found Mother! Mother alone, so lonely!"

The crowd: "......"

You don't look lonely at all!

But Feng Xiaohuo believed it, "Mother isn't scared; isn't Xiao Huo here?"

"Xiao Huo is wonderful!" Feng Xianyin switched from the fierce axe‑wielding woman to a frail, pitiful one in just a second.

"By the way, where's Xiao Bing?"

"Isn't Xiao Bing with you?" Feng Xiaohuo asked, puzzled.

"Is that so?" Feng Xianyin was startled, "Then she must have accidentally dropped me!"

The crowd was speechless again.

Where did this oddity come from?

"Mother, let me introduce you; this is Aunt Ye," Feng Xianyin turned toward the direction Feng Xiaohuo pointed, and when she saw Ye Qingran, a faint glimmer flashed in her eyes.

"Xiao Huo, Mother suddenly feels very sad!"

Feng Xiaohuo, unsurprised, said, "I know, it must be because Aunt Ye is beautiful enough to threaten Mother's title as the world's number‑one beauty, right?"

Feng Xianyin nodded.

Feng Xiaohuo stroked her chin, "This is a difficult situation."

"Oh, I just remembered, Mother, why don't you ask the Magic Mirror?"
