"Xiuxiu, why have you come back?" Little White struggled in her fight against the Evil Tiger, and when she saw Bai Xiuxiu return, she spoke with a mixture of frustration and disappointment. Her eyes reddened.
She had hoped that once Xiuxiu left, she would never return, that she would hide far away, cultivating alone. That way, even if their Devil Soul Great White Shark clan was destroyed, their final bloodline would still persist.
But now, Xiuxiu had foolishly come back.
"Mom, don't worry, this time I've brought back reinforcements," Bai Xiuxiu said, relieved to see that the clan hadn't suffered too great a loss.
"Please, Master, protect our clan," Bai Xiuxiu said respectfully and earnestly.
As Bai Xiuxiu's voice fell, the noise from the surrounding battle diminished slightly.
Bai Xiuxiu's voice was not low, and the soul beasts around them all heard her.
Especially some members of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, their eyes nearly popped out when they saw this scene. What were they seeing? Their young princess was calling someone else her master?
What was this situation?
In the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, according to their aesthetic, Bai Xiuxiu's shark form was extremely beautiful, drawing the yearning of countless soul beasts who wanted to possess her.
Xu Ran becoming Bai Xiuxiu's master naturally drew looks of envy and jealousy.
Even the Evil Killer Whale Clan felt displeased to see Bai Xiuxiu call a stranger 'master'. They preferred women like Bai Xiuxiu to submit to them, to be at their beck and call.
"Xiuxiu, what's going on?" Little White's expression changed, and she asked anxiously.
What on earth was happening with her proud daughter, acknowledging someone as master? It was inconceivable to her.
Xiuxiu had always been too proud to take a master, hadn't she?
"Mom, there are some things I can't discuss right now. But believe me, the decision I've made this time is absolutely the right one. The master is very powerful and can protect us," Bai Xiuxiu said seriously.
Her eyes shone with fervor, thinking of Xu Ran's strength, and she felt a sense of pride in her heart.
And she was taking a gamble.
If Xu Ran was the peerless soul beast expert her mother had spoken of, even if she became his mount, the benefits she could gain would be substantial.
In The Soul Beast Realm, effort was often futile.
It depended more on one's bloodline and the help of the powerful.
If one received help from a powerful being, it could alleviate many difficulties when facing Tribulation and greatly increase the chances of successfully crossing it.
"Good," Little White's eyes brightened, and she gazed deeply at Xu Ran. Xu Ran's gaze, in turn, was fixed on Little White.
Suddenly, Little White's pupils shrank and she felt a momentary sense of trepidation. That feeling disappeared when she looked at Xu Ran again.
But that feeling... it seemed similar to the presence of the soul beast expert she had sensed before...
Little White took in a sharp breath.
She hadn't expected that her journey out would actually lead to meeting the Supreme Soul Beast, and even becoming his mount. If Xiuxiu had become the mount of an ordinary person, she might have been worried, but becoming the mount of such a powerful being, the benefits could only be more.
Just as their Devil Soul Great White Shark clan had been the mounts of the Sea God for generations, gaining many advantages from it.
In the past, the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan was the true overlord of the Haiyang, and it was only because they lacked a strong individual in recent years that they had gradually declined.
Building a relationship with a powerful being was the fastest way to rise.
"Haha, Little White, I didn't expect your Devil Soul Great White Shark clan to be so pathetic, that a princess of such a clan would acknowledge someone as her master, what a disgrace. But then again, your clan is pathetic to begin with; such actions are only to be expected," the Evil Tiger said, his eyes filled with disdain.
His heart was full of intense murderous intent.
He knew that the person before him was the one who killed his son, the Demonic.
His beloved son died at his hands, so he naturally sought vengeance.
"Leave the rest to me," Xu Ran said calmly, stepping in front of Little White. Looking at Little White's somewhat exotic face, he was momentarily moved.
This transformed beauty of the deep sea was indeed different from those on land.
However, she appeared even more enchanting and seductive, with that exotic charm that captivated the soul.
"Devil Soul Great White Shark King Little White is grateful for your help, elder," Little White said respectfully. She understood the terrifying being that stood before her—a Supreme Soul Beast with the power to battle gods.
Yes!
Last time, she sensed two auras—one related to gods and the other belonging to the Supreme Soul Beast.
Who else could easily slay the Demonic, appear in the deep sea, and give her such a feeling, if not that mighty being?
Evil Tiger dared to provoke such a mighty being, which was simply courting death.
Little White felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart; she knew that her Devil Soul Great White Shark clan was saved, and this time it was the Evil Killer Whale Clan that would face catastrophe!
"Little White, do you think he can save you? Naive!" the killer whale king, Evil Tiger, said disdainfully.
He watched Xu Ran, the killing intent in his eyes growing more intense.
"Was it you who killed my son?" Evil Tiger asked fiercely, staring at Xu Ran.
"And what if it was?" Xu Ran replied nonchalantly.
"Do you know who I am? I am the Killer Whale King. Was my son someone you could kill?" Evil Tiger ragingly glared at Xu Ran, energy gathering around him endlessly.
"There is no one in this world whom I cannot kill,"
"You included. A mere whale dares to act up in front of me?" Xu Ran's voice was indifferent.
"How dare you insult me with 'a mere whale'? If I am so insignificant in your eyes, what then are you?" Evil Tiger said coldly, the murderous and violent aura around him spreading, sending powerful waves towards Xu Ran.
However, to his astonishment, his powerful aura seemed to disappear without a trace before it even got close to Xu Ran.
Such a turn of events made his expression grave.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
A primordial, dreadful aura descended upon him.
Under that aura, he felt an uncontrollable urge to prostrate and worship, as if before the ancestor of all beings, superior to all.
In his mind swirled a dragon, thousands of kilometers long. This dragon had an irresistible presence, with a terrifying aura, and its indifferent eyes were staring directly at him.
And those indifferent eyes were strikingly similar to Xu Ran's.
"Who are you, really?"
"No, no, you are not human, you are a soul beast,"
Evil Tiger blurted out in horror.
Now looking at Xu Ran, all he felt was fear.
That dragon seemed superior to all beings, far surpassing even the Deepsea Devil Whale King.
The Deepsea Devil Whale King was powerful, but he was on the same level as they were. However, that dragon... was far beyond his comprehension. He had never seen such a terrifying creature!
