Chapter 19: The Promise with Xiao Wu, Tang Yiran's Passionate Kiss.
The woman held Xiao Wu and looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan quickly said, "Hello, sister, I came with... Little Cat. I hope you can save my friend."
The young woman smiled and said, "Yes, I heard what you were saying. I know you're not here to hunt us. Since you saved Xiao Wu's friend, I will definitely help heal her. Come, take her inside."
Lin Fan carried Tang Yiran into the wooden house.
The young woman helped Tang Yiran lie down on the bed, then took her pulse. After a while, she said, "It's Eight-Tailed Poison. This poison is extremely dangerous, one of the rarest and most potent poisons in the world. Fortunately, she's a Soul Emperor with a very strong body, which is why she's held on until now. I can detoxify her, but it might take a few days."
"You can detoxify her?" Lin Fan immediately exclaimed with delight. "It's alright, sister. I'll wait until she's better before taking her away. Thank you for saving her. You're so kind and beautiful."
The young woman smiled, then released Xiao Wu from her arms and said, "Xiao Wu, take this human friend out for a walk. I need to focus on detoxifying this woman."
"Okay, Mom." Xiao Wu jumped down from the young woman's arms and said to Lin Fan, "Let's go out. Don't disturb my mother's healing. My mother is very kind. Many injured soul beasts in the forest come to my mother for treatment, which is why Xiao Bai brought you here."
Lin Fan glanced at the young woman before leaving the wooden house.
Unexpectedly, this young woman was Xiao Wu's mother, and she looked much more beautiful than in the anime.
Unfortunately, such a woman ultimately died at the hands of Bibi Dong.
Lin Fan didn't know if his appearance could change anything, but it seemed unlikely. Even if Bibi Dong fell in love with him, her nature wouldn't change. Even after becoming Pope, she would still crave power and the chance to inherit the divine throne and gain immortality.
How could she possibly give up her 100,000-year spirit ring, especially since it was Bibi Dong's most powerful skill in the original story?
"Forget it, we'll deal with the future later."
Lin Fan stopped thinking about it and followed Xiao Wu, asking her, "Hey, Xiao Wu, where are you taking me? Thank you so much. I never thought there were such kind people among the spirit beasts as you and your mother."
Xiao Wu said in a cute voice, "I'll take you to admire the moon. It's nighttime now, and I go there to admire the moon every day. I don't have much to do in this forest. Actually, I really wish I could go to your human cities, but unfortunately, humans don't like us."
As she spoke, Xiao Wu led Lin Fan to the place where she admired the moon. The scenery there was beautiful, with flowers in full bloom and a bright moon shining overhead.
Xiao Wu lay there, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.
Lin Fan comforted her, saying, "Actually, humans have already realized this problem. If the number of soul beasts continues to decrease, humans may have no soul rings to use in the future. I believe that humans and soul beasts will be able to live in peace in the future, and some soul beasts that have reached their age will voluntarily offer their soul rings to humans."
Xiao Wu seemed moved by Lin Fan's words, looking at him deeply and saying, "If only humans were all as kind as you. By the way, why didn't you ask me why my mother is human when I'm a soul beast? Do you know about soul beast transformation?"
"Uh, well, I do know a little..."
Lin Fan could only admit that he now felt Xiao Wu wouldn't harm it.
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment before saying, "Well, my mother transformed from a 100,000-year-old soul beast into a human. I've always followed my mother. My mother was like me before. In a few years, I'll also turn 100,000 years old, and I want to transform into a human like my mother."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "But that's very dangerous. You're so powerful now. After your mother transformed, you'll be the one protecting your mother and this peaceful land, right?"
Xiao Wu looked at the night sky and said, "That's the destiny of soul beasts. Actually, I don't want to let you and that human woman leave. If you know where my mother and I are, you'll definitely bring people to hunt us down and disturb our peace. Hmph..."
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu,"
Lin Fan said, looking at her. "I do need a spirit ring, and I do want a 100,000-year spirit ring, but I would never want to get one from you or your sister. Besides, what kind of people would someone like me bring to hunt you down? How about we become friends? My name is Lin Fan, and you're my first spirit beast friend, as cute as that cat. Even if you haven't transformed into human form yet, I can take you to human cities to play. You're so small, I can hide you."
"Hmm... friend, you can take me to play? Really?" Xiao Wu raised her fluffy head and looked at Lin Fan.
"Of course, you're so small, no one can find you. As long as you don't use your power, you're just like an ordinary rabbit. Come on, let's enjoy the moon together." After saying that, Lin Fan was no longer afraid and hugged the rabbit in his arms to enjoy the moon together.
Xiao Wu didn't move. After a while, she leaned on Lin Fan's arm and said, "Okay, I'm willing to be friends with you. Then I'll call you Xiao Fan. You're a really special human. I'll be able to transform into human form in a little over four years. Before I transform, if you have any problems, you can come here to find me. I'll protect you. Besides me, there are my friends here. No matter how many human soul masters come, we're not afraid."
"Wow, that's great!"
Lin Fan was overjoyed. This was his real goal. He never expected to accidentally encounter Xiao Wu before her transformation and even get close to her.
Although Xiao Wu was a cute rabbit, Lin Fan knew that her current strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Title Douluo.
With the attribute bonus from the Shadow Battle Axe and the advancement of his first martial soul, Lin Fan knew that neither Qian Xunji nor Chrysanthemum Douluo could subdue him instantly and render him powerless. It would take at least a level 95 Title Douluo to do that.
Before Xiao Wu transformed, her strength was definitely far beyond that of the Titan Giant Ape, probably comparable to the Azure Bull Python. This meant that even if he were to be hunted down by Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall again, he could seek refuge here.
"Hmm, after you transform, I will protect you too," Lin Fan thought, stroking Xiao Wu's fluffy fur.
The year Xiao Wu transformed was also the year Tang San was born, and Qian Xunji was killed by Bibi Dong. At that time, Bibi Dong should have been close to level ninety. She became a Title Douluo much faster than Tang Hao. In the original story, Bibi Dong was just reaching level ninety when Xiao Wu came to hunt her and her mother a few years after her transformation.
But soon, Lin Fan had to bring Bibi Dong out of the Spirit Hall. She was pregnant with his child, and he didn't know what his and Bibi Dong's fate would be afterward.
He couldn't possibly fight the entire Spirit Hall alone. Bibi Dong would eventually return to the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall wouldn't abandon her, the world's number one genius saintess. All Lin Fan wanted to do was protect her and his child.
Perhaps, all of this was ultimately unchangeable; after Bibi Dong ascended to the Pope's throne, the original plot might continue.
Lin Fan and Xiao Wu enjoyed the moon in this beautiful, flower-filled place.
Xiao Wu seemed to like him a lot, resting on him.
Lin Fan really wanted to get to know the adorable Xiao Wu from the anime, and make her his adopted sister after she transformed. As for when she grew up, she would just be his adopted sister.
Xiao Wu's mother seemed quite nice too, even prettier than in the anime.
Lin Fan fantasized, but unfortunately, Xiao Wu was still a rabbit. In the end, he just lay down on the grass and fell asleep.
Two days later, Tang Yiran woke up as expected. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Fan. Looking around curiously, she asked, "I...I'm not dead?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "No, the poison in your body has been cured..."
Tang Yiran suddenly stood up and hugged Lin Fan tightly, her face pressed against his, and said sadly, "That's great...I'm not dead, Xiao Fan. I thought I'd never see you again."
Uh... being hugged so tightly by Tang Yiran, Lin Fan was a little taken aback. What...what was going on?
Tang Yiran seemed to realize something was wrong at this moment, and quickly let go of Lin Fan, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Was it...was it you who saved me?"
"No, I don't know how to cure poison. It was them, it was this sister." Lin Fan pointed outside, and saw Xiao Wu's mother carrying a rabbit walk in.
"You are...thank you for saving my life, sister." Tang Yiran quickly tried to kneel before her.
The young woman grasped Tang Yiran's hand and said, "It's alright, thankfully your friend brought you in time. Your poison has been completely neutralized, you should be fine. It's dangerous here, let your friend take you back." "
Mom... are you going to send them away..." Xiao Wu suddenly spoke, seemingly reluctant.
"This is..." Tang Yiran also looked at the rabbit in surprise.
Lin Fan naturally understood what Xiao Wu's mother meant, and he quickly said, "Thank you so much for taking care of me these past two days, sister. Xiao Wu and I are friends now, and I'll come to see her if she needs me in the future."
The young woman nodded.
Lin Fan took Tang Yiran's hand and quickly said, "Okay, Yiran-jie, let's go."
After Lin Fan led Tang Yiran out of the wooden house, he suddenly heard Xiao Wu's voice.
"Xiao Fan, don't forget to take me to the human city to play!"
Lin Fan turned back and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I remember, I'll come to see you again."
After saying that, Lin Fan took Tang Yiran and left this peaceful place together by the same route.
Only after they had walked a distance did Tang Yiran finally ask, "Xiao Fan, who are they...?"
Lin Fan looked at her earnestly and said, "That's right, Sister Yiran, they are all soul beasts. I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened today, including your family, otherwise, they will definitely be in danger." "
A hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast..."
Tang Yiran was shocked. She quickly nodded seriously and looked at Lin Fan, saying, "Don't worry, Xiao Fan, I won't tell anyone about this. They saved my life. And... even if they hadn't saved me, I wouldn't tell anyone what you told me."
Looking at Tang Yiran's eyes, Lin Fan suddenly felt a little strange. He realized he was still holding her hand. He was about to let go when Tang Yiran suddenly grabbed his hand back and looked at him, saying, "Thank you, Xiao Fan, for coming all this way to save me..."
After saying that, Tang Yiran suddenly gave Lin Fan a deep kiss on the cheek, and then her red lips pressed tightly against Lin Fan's face.
"Uh, well... Sister Yiran, let's hurry back. We've been missing for two days, and they might still be looking for us."
Lin Fan blushed slightly. What was going on? Could it be that Tang Yiran had fallen for him...?
No, no, she was more than ten years older than his teacher at the Haotian Sect. This wasn't...
Lin Fan quickly abandoned the idea of staying with her. Actually, the only woman he truly loved was the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong, who was already pregnant with his child. If other girls liked him, then let them be Bibi Dong's sisters...
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then gently placed a hand on Tang Yiran's waist and slowly slid it down...
Tang Yiran hugged Lin Fan for a minute before slowly releasing him, pursing her red lips and saying, "Okay, I understand. Let's hurry and find Erlong and Coco." Lin
Fan nodded, and the two immediately headed towards the place where Liu Erlong and the others had been.
Recalling the route he and Xiao Mao had taken, Lin Fan retraced his steps, avoiding the territories of many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and quickly arrived at the place where they had fought the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
"Damn it, they're gone..." Lin Fan exclaimed in shock.
Tang Yiran looked around and said, "Only two days have passed. Erlong shouldn't have left the Star Dou Forest. I know her; she's straightforward and will definitely wait for us to return. Now that they're gone, something must have happened. Let's go look for them quickly."
With that, the two immediately searched the vicinity for any trace of Liu Erlong and the others.
Meanwhile... beside a boulder, three girls were huddled together, surrounded by numerous small ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts attacking them.
"Hehehe... three little girls, let's see how long you can hold out?" A sinister man, dressed similarly to the previous Elder Ge, was grinning strangely at the girl clinging to the boulder. His face was covered in hair, and he had a black tail on his back.
This was his martial soul, the Black Sky Fox.
The Black Sky Fox martial soul possessed the ability to control and bewitch soul beasts. Although his level wasn't high, and he was certainly no match for Liu Erlong and Shui Yue'er in a one-on-one fight, in the Star Dou Great Forest, possessing the Black Sky Fox martial soul made him an extremely powerful being, as there was a constant stream of soul beasts nearby that he could control.
The Black Sky Fox martial soul was extremely rare on the Douluo Continent; they all came from a direct lineage, the Black Sky Fox Clan. Unfortunately, although the Black Sky Fox Clan's martial soul possessed the ability to control soul beasts, the Black Sky Fox itself wasn't very powerful, and they had long since disappeared in recent years. In fact, they had all joined the Demon Sect.
