Chapter 176: Pure and Innocent

As the Imperial Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, its own intelligence could not possibly be low, let alone the fact that it had inherited Su Yu's memories from that time.

Just as Chi Wang was pondering Wang Qiu Er's words, another voice spoke up slowly.

"If it were truly as you say, then this Douluo Continent would have long since been the territory of us Soul Beasts; how would it ever be the turn of humans to dominate the Douluo Continent? It is just a pity that although some of my fellow Soul Beasts possess powerful talents and strength, their actual numbers are extremely scarce. My Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan is the same; it is extremely difficult to reproduce, and now we Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears are also facing an endangered situation."

Wang Qiu Er turned her head; Xiong Jun had appeared behind them at some unknown time.

"On such a rainy day, what elegant interest do you all have to be admiring the rain here?" Su Yu, holding Wang Dong'er's hand, appeared slowly not far from the three Soul Beasts.

Wang Dong'er waved at Wang Qiu Er and said, "Su Yu and I have already decided to go back. Are you coming with us?"

"Oh, is that so? Are you really inviting me to go with you?" Wang Qiu Er revealed a rather meaningful smile.

Watching this scene, Su Yu shook his head; he didn't know what shocking words this fellow was planning to say again.

Wang Dong'er nodded indifferently, "Yes, because we are classmates. I know what you want to say, but I don't care, because I believe in Su Yu, and likewise, Su Yu believes in me."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you still understand me quite well. Forget it, since Su Yu has already told you, I can't be bothered to waste so many words with you. Let's go."

Lifting the Golden Dragon Spear in her hand, Wang Qiu Er walked ahead on her own.

"I've troubled you all these past few days." Su Yu waved at Chi Wang and Xiong Jun, then left this place together with Wang Dong'er.

Watching Su Yu's back, Xiong Jun couldn't help but look up and laugh, "This human is truly very interesting. It's just a pity that there is only one such interesting human."

"This brat made you go on a trip with him; how come you've become the same as Di Tian? Is this brat really as Di Tian said?" Chi Wang looked at Xiong Jun with some confusion, then took a step and disappeared into a ripple.

"Right, brat, take this. I, Xiong Jun, have never liked owing others anything. Since you spoke up back then, consider this as paying back that favor. Catch."

A golden light was seen flying rapidly toward Su Yu. Su Yu reached out to catch it, and the object wrapped in golden light landed steadily in Su Yu's hand.

"One searches for something for a long time, only to find it without any effort."

Su Yu looked at the three identical soul bones in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle.

When he saved that pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears under Su Yu's guidance that day, Xiong Jun asked Su Yu what he wanted. Su Yu casually made up a reason, saying he had once been attacked by three apes from the same litter and almost died at their hands, so he hoped Xiong Jun would help...

And then there was no then. However, as for the soul bone, Xiong Jun, a Beast, naturally had no use for it, and the other Soul Beasts had no use for it either, so in the end, it naturally fell into Su Yu's hands.

"Here, for you two. Anyway, I already have several soul bones."

Su Yu tossed the two soul bones to Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu Er. Although soul bones are indeed very precious, one must also look at who is being referred to.

"This..." Wang Qiu Er looked at the soul bone in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Don't be long-winded. If you don't want it, give it back to me," Su Yu said.

Wang Qiu Er snatched it and put it into her Soul Guidance Device, saying, "Who said I didn't want it? Anything that reaches my hands is mine!"

…………

"It seems this is already the fourth day. Nothing really happened, right?" Xuan Lao held his Wine Gourd, but he had no mood to drink at all.

"Who exactly did this brat provoke among the Soul Beasts to be kept in the Star Dou Great Forest by those Beasts all this time? If he doesn't come back today, I will have no choice but to go there myself."

Gazing at the Golden Ancient Tree of the Sea God Pavilion, Xuan Lao's gaze never left the position Mu Lao used to occupy.

"Mu Lao, do you think I am really suitable to be this Pavilion Master?"

Rustle.

The branches and leaves of the Golden Ancient Tree swayed slightly, as if responding to Xuan Lao.

"Finally back. By the way, did you notify them in advance?"

Su Yu looked at the high-level officials gathered at the academy entrance and couldn't help but turn his head to ask the two of them.

Wang Dong'er shook her head, indicating she didn't know what was happening.

Wang Qiu Er was staring at the crowd with a blank expression, a wrinkle difficult to smooth out between her brows; it was just unclear what she was thinking in her heart at this moment.

Cai Mei'er came to her side and smiled, "What's wrong, Qiu Er? Do you feel they are very attached to the academy? I believe that in the near future, you will have this day too. To everyone, the academy is our home. From now on, it is also your home. Isn't it worth being happy about, coming home from a dangerous place?"

"Mm." Wang Qiu Er nodded lightly and followed Cai Mei'er into the academy.

Before leaving, Wang Qiu Er looked back at Su Yu. This glance made Su Yu unable to fathom her meaning.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Logically speaking, with Su Yu's current status, he could completely have a residence on Sea God Island, but Su Yu still had Xuan Lao keep that former dormitory.

"Rest for a while." Wang Dong'er helped Su Yu sit on the edge of the bed. Su Yu pulled Wang Dong'er over, and Wang Dong'er buried her head in Su Yu's neck.

"What's wrong? Worried that I will fall for her?"

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Su Yu couldn't help but increase his strength, as if Wang Dong'er would disappear the next moment.

Wang Dong'er looked up at him, then fell back into his arms. The strength with which she held Su Yu's arm also increased a bit, "Do you think I would believe your nonsense? No one can snatch away the man I, Wang Dong'er, have set my heart on. Even if she has all your memories from back then, everything we have experienced together cannot be replaced. Because I believe in you, and I believe in myself, so I will never doubt you."

"This is the Dong'er I like. Truly ice-snow smart and naturally gifted," Su Yu smiled with satisfaction. "I knew you wouldn't say anything shocking. After the Sea God's Fate, I have no regrets, because after experiencing all this, I have you."

Tired, it's time to rest...

When the two woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Seeing each other's neatly dressed appearance, they couldn't help but smile at each other. Although accidents are hard to avoid for young people, fortunately, both sides were relatively restrained, otherwise, who knows what absurd things might have happened.

After a night of recuperation, Su Yu only felt that his spirit had reached a new level of improvement.

…………

"Still sleeping?" Looking at Wang Dong'er's gradually fiery gaze, Su Yu asked.

"Then let's lie down for a while longer..." Wang Dong'er pulled Su Yu back and covered them with the quilt.

Su Yu and Wang Dong'er touched foreheads and said, "I used to think that I was the one plotting against you; now I think it might be you plotting against me."

Wang Dong'er hummed and laughed, "What, want to go back on your word now?"

"No, I'm just wondering, when exactly did you start plotting against me? Was it the selection tournament back then, or the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament?" Looking at Wang Dong'er's bossy appearance, Su Yu couldn't help but start recalling the scenes from the past.

Wang Dong'er brewed for a moment before saying, "Oh, so you discovered it. Now that you've become this young lady's person, do you have any thoughts?"

"None, I just think you might not like me, you're just purely craving my body..."

"You're asking for a beating..."

Wang Dong'er suddenly sprang up and pressed Su Yu down onto the bed.

"Let's talk this out properly, no need to get physical; if you do that again, I'm going to fight back."

Su Yu looked at Wang Dong'er, who was pinning his hands to the bed with a smug expression, and couldn't help but grin mischievously.

"Bring it on, who's afraid of who!" Wang Dong'er increased the strength in her hands.

Su Yu performed a sparrow flip, pinning Wang Dong'er beneath him in one motion and holding her wrists down with both hands.

"I suggest you behave yourself, otherwise you might end up becoming a mother."

Before Wang Dong'er could answer, Su Yu lowered his head and kissed her; their lips met instantly, and Wang Dong'er seemed to turn to stone.

Wang Dong'er's lips were warm, soft, and cool, a familiar sensation that wasn't the first time he had tasted it.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er's mind was in chaos; at this moment, she couldn't help but think of the day after the Sea God's Fate ended.

That night was just like this...

After a long while, their lips parted. Su Yu licked his lips with satisfaction, looking with a mischievous grin at the bashful Wang Dong'er huddled in his arms.

"Su Yu, you..." Wang Dong'er bit her lip lightly, unsure if it was out of shyness or something else.

"Stop pretending, our spirits have long been connected; you can't fool me."

…………

Sea God Pavilion.

Su Yu and Wang Dong'er had both come here under the guidance of Cai Mei'er to attend the meeting.

Xuan Lao, sitting at the head of the table, spoke: "Mei'er has already told me about the events of your trip. It seems the continent's Soul Master world is truly about to undergo a great change! First, the Holy Spirit Cult appeared in Heaven Dou City, and now these three evil Soul Master brothers. I fear that in the near future, we will face no small amount of trouble. This matter is temporarily shelved; we will discuss it at the next Sea God Pavilion meeting. These evil Soul Masters are no longer something that ordinary members of the Supervision Team can contend with. We must also treat this with caution. Su Yu, tell us why you ended up in the hands of those Beasts."

"Actually, this has something to do with you." Su Yu did not want to tell the truth, but he still needed a reasonable excuse.

Xuan Lao was stunned; he immediately searched his own memories, but found no issues.
