Chapter 213: 209. Soul Beast Transformation
Two days later.
A cart from Biyou Village slowly made its way down the road.
A sturdy ox pulled the two-wheeled cart, while an elderly man in his eighties sat at the front, waving a whip made of rice stalks.
"Achoo~"
From within a pile of straw on the cart came a small sound.
This was Xiao Wu's method of travel.
The cart was cushioned with straw, providing the fresh scent of nature.
With ventilation on all sides, sunlight pouring in, and a clear view of the passing scenery.
At that moment.
Xiao Wu lay on the pile of straw, her large round pink eyes darting around cautiously.
She had no other choice.
After successfully securing study spot with money, she wanted to travel to Nuoding City but didn't feel like walking.
It wasn't just the heat that bothered her.
Traveling alone also made her an easy target.
She was so adorable, after all.
What if she encountered traffickers like the ones in books who kidnapped children?!
Not to mention, her identity was special.
It was already quite fortunate to pay a little money to convince the village chief to stop farming, switch from plow to cart, and give her a ride.
After all, considering the economic conditions of the villages around Nuoding City:
Communication was mainly shouting, security mostly relied on dogs, and transportation was predominantly by foot.
Most people didn't have any transportation tools.
Given her current situation, Xiao Wu was already quite content.
Biyou Village wasn't far from Nouding City, and at the ox cart's speed, they would arrive by afternoon.
Xiao Wu lay on the straw pile, her eyes half-closed.
Holding a fresh carrot in her hand, she smiled with satisfaction and pride.
"Haha, Xiao Wu is so smart."
With no one around.
She had a sense of absolute security.
But soon, the thought of Nuoding City made her alert again.
Her brows furrowed.
'Crunch.'
She took a bite of the sweet yet slightly bitter carrot in her hand.
She pouted and said, "There shouldn't be any Titled Douluo in Nuoding City, right?"
"If there were, I'd have to run to the Spirit Hall branch and ask His Highness for help."
Xiao Wu pouted, and even though she was hiding in the straw pile, sweating under the blazing sun, she had no intention of revealing herself.
"Mom, please protect me."
With a carrot in her mouth, Xiao Wu clasped her hands together, holding a pink pearl, her pink eyes closed as she began to pray.
At that moment, a sudden sinister wind began to blow.
*Whoosh!*
A dark figure flashed by, carrying with it a breeze.
The carefully bundled straw blanket covering Xiao Wu was immediately blown away.
"Hmm? Why did the wind suddenly speed up?"
Xiao Wu flipped over in confusion, lying on the straw pile, feeling a bit dazed.
She held the carrot and looked around.
"Huh? Why is it suddenly cold?"
Despite the bright sunshine, Xiao Wu suddenly shivered, her fur standing on end.
On both sides of the road.
Two figures hidden in the bushes, their eyes wide open, immediately stood up.
They stared intently at Xiao Wu on the ox cart.
To them, she wasn't just a little girl, but a delicate Soft Bone Rabbit.
On the other side of the road.
A figure that had just passed by the cart to inspect it also had glowing eyes.
A cold glint flickered, mixed with astonishment.
They exchanged glances with their companion, the Snake Lance, without hesitation.
Porcupine Douluo removed his pink hat
*Whoosh!*
With a swift motion, a pink sack materialized in his hand.
At the same time.
The Snake Lance charged toward the ox cart.
"Little girl, are you alright?"
The elderly man was just about to turn his head to check when a sudden black gust, carrying dust, swept in.
"Hiss—! Where did that wind come from?"
The old man rubbed his eyes.
"Ah—! A snake… gulp…"
Xiao Wu's pink eyes widened, her mouth agape.
Before she could even cry out "Snake Lance Douluo," a small, pitch-black pill was thrown into her mouth.
She involuntarily swallowed it.
The carrot fell from her hand as she clutched her neck tightly.
Her pink eyes widened with confusion and a hint of fear.
Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
*Whoosh!*
The pill dissolved instantly, and the Snake Lance hoisted Xiao Wu up and tossed her to the Porcupine Douluo.
*Plop!*
The Porcupine Douluo opened the pink sack and carefully placed Xiao Wu inside.
By the time the old man regained his senses, Xiao Wu had disappeared, leaving only the half-eaten carrot behind.
"Little girl? Little girl?!"
"Huh? Could she have been blown under the cart by the wind?"
The ox cart slowly came to a stop.
In the bushes, two tall figures stood, looking excited.
The Porcupine Douluo, holding the pink sack, asked, "Snake Lance, did we see that right?"
"No! Absolutely not."
The Snake Lance stared at the sack, his voice numb.
*Whoosh!*
The Porcupine Douluo opened the sack again and peeked inside, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Yes, yes, this is the girl the Miss wanted!"
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast transformed into a human!"
The Snake Lance's throat went dry.
"How did the Miss know? She's truly remarkable!"
"Let's hurry back!"
The Porcupine Douluo slung the sack over his shoulder.
"Don't forget, the young lady instructed us not to cause any conflicts."
The Snake Lance's heart trembled!
Anyone qualified to cause trouble with them had to at least be a Titled Douluo.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, the Snake Lance quickly urged, "Alright, let's go!"
The bushes shook violently as the two figures leaped into the air, flying toward Heaven Dou City.
A Titled Douluo traveling at full speed was terrifyingly fast.
Meanwhile.
Qian Renjue and Ling Yuan had already approached Heaven Dou City.
"Ah Yin, don't squirm while drinking blood!"
"Yes, Master… It's so hot…"
"And stop clawing at me!"
"…"
…
By dusk, at the Dugu Mansion.
Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed, a golden six-winged angel suspended behind her.
Holy light poured down, and her soul power flowed smoothly within.
Three purple, three black, six soul rings spun continuously.
Her stunning face was solemn, sacred, and her golden hair flowed smoothly like a waterfall.
"Hoo~"
Qian Renxue exhaled deeply.
Her golden-purple eyes opened as the holy light in the room began to recede.
"Miss Xue, have some tea."
Seeing that Qian Renxue had finished cultivating, Dugu Yan, who had been waiting nearby, immediately approached with tea.
"Hmm."
Qian Renxue accepted the cup, gently blew on it, and then asked, "Has Jue arrived yet?"
"I'm not sure, but Dad is already waiting in the back courtyard."
Dugu Yan responded softly, a hint of longing and anticipation in her light green eyes.
Qian Renxue glanced at Dugu Yan indifferently.
She said nothing, her gaze shifting to the twilight outside the window, wondering if they had caught the rabbit yet.
In the back courtyard of the Dugu Mansion.
Ling Yuan, dressed in plain clothes, smoothly drove the carriage into the rear garden.
"Dugu Xin greets Your Excellency."
The long-waiting Dugu Xin immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Hmm, no need for formalities."
Ling Yuan Douluo nodded slightly, then turned and lifted the curtain.
"Dugu Xin, take me to my sister."
Qian Renjue stepped out of the carriage, calmly raising his hand to straighten his clothes, which had been messed up by Ah Yin.
Dugu Xin froze momentarily at the sight of Qian Renjue, but quickly responded.
"Yes, Your Highness. This way, please."
