Chapter 116: The Reunion of Two Soul Beasts

Just as Tang Ni returned to her dorm room, the moment she arrived, Xiao Wu in the neighboring dorm immediately sensed the aura of a fellow kind.

"Who could it be?"

Xiao Wu frowned. If the other person were a well-known 100,000-year soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, she wouldn't say she knew all of them, but at least seven or eight out of ten.

That was the kind of status she had in the Star Dou Great Forest — a true big sister figure.

Unless... that soul beast wasn't from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Ni could use the power of fate to conceal her soul beast aura, but in front of Xiao Wu, who had already taken human form, it was like the White Bone Spirit trying to pose as a virtuous lady in front of Sun Wukong — completely useless.

After thinking it over several times, Xiao Wu decided to seek out this soul beast who had taken human form.

Perhaps she could even gain a powerful ally — maybe even help her successfully achieve revenge.

Soon, Xiao Wu got out of her bed. Seeing that the small bed across from hers was empty, she became more determined to find the person next door.

According to Ning Rongrong, she had returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find her father. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had learned a lot about the continent's powerful forces under Xiao Lin's guidance.

For example, she knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two powerful Title Douluo.

The next moment, Xiao Wu rushed out of her dorm and arrived at the door of the neighboring room.

She hoped this person's ability to conceal their aura wasn't too weak — if even a Soul Douluo could see through her identity, Xiao Wu dared not imagine the consequences.

However, the closer she got to Tang Ni, the more an uneasy, heart-palpitating feeling crept into Xiao Wu.

Could this person be stronger than me?

But soon, Xiao Wu let that idea go.

After all, a Soft Bone Rabbit wasn't exactly known for power — it was better at escaping than fighting.

Knock knock!

Xiao Wu gently knocked on the door, pressing herself against it, trying to sense what kind of soul beast was inside.

But since Tang Ni was using the power of fate to hide her presence, unless she revealed it herself, Xiao Wu wouldn't be able to figure it out.

"Who is it?"

Tang Ni hadn't lived in the human world for long. She'd only spent a few days under Tang Hao's care pretending to be human.

Do humans not like to sleep at night?

Out of curiosity, Tang Ni still opened the door.

She hadn't sensed Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul beast aura at all.

Xiao Wu, after all, had spent years living in the human world and had mastered the art of hiding her aura. There was a fundamental difference between her and Tang Ni.

But the moment Tang Ni opened the door and saw Xiao Wu, she immediately recognized her.

"You're that stupid rabbit!"

Tang Ni's face lit up with joy. She'd even chased Xiao Wu once in the past — she just didn't manage to catch her.

When Xiao Wu heard that familiar insult, a wave of ominous memories suddenly surfaced in her mind.

"You... you're Rui—"

Before she could finish, Tang Ni pulled her into the room and placed a finger over her lips.

"Shh!"

"I sneaked out to find the Child of Fate."

Tang Ni sat on her bed, raised an eyebrow, and grinned smugly.

Facing a fellow soul beast, she didn't bother maintaining her aloof persona anymore.

She had long known Xiao Wu was a dumb rabbit. There was no way she could complete Di Tian's task.

That's right — Di Tian had wanted to find the Child of Fate and even enlisted the Sky Azure Bull Python, eventually assigning the mission to Xiao Wu.

But... Xiao Wu never returned.

The last time she came back to the Star Dou Great Forest was when she brought Tang San there to find the Soul Gathering Pumpkin.

At that time, both Xiao Lin and Tang San were already strong enough to protect themselves in the mixed-zone, so Xiao Wu didn't even contact Er Ming.

After Tang San finished absorbing the soul ring from the pumpkin, Xiao Wu found a chance to condense her own ring.

As for Xiao Lin, he didn't go to the forest — he had gone south to the Blazing Flame Valley via a path called the Blazing Flame Trail to seek out the Flame Diamond Gorilla.

Due to Xiao Wu's unreliability and Tang Ni being closely monitored by the Crimson King...

That time, Xiao Wu and Tang San just barely missed each other, and Di Tian had no chance to capture Tang San.

"Tell me, who was that person you brought to the Star Dou Great Forest last time?"

Tang Ni grabbed Xiao Wu's arm with terrifying strength, leaving her unable to break free.

"That was my third brother — Tang San. There's no way he could be the Child of Fate!"

Xiao Wu casually answered, but the more she saw Tang Ni's expression, the more shocked she became.

"No way... don't tell me my third brother is the Child of Fate?"

From Tang Ni's complicated expression, Xiao Wu realized some truth and was instantly stunned by her own guess.

"Hmph, it's him. He'll bring disaster to soul beasts and make our survival even harder."

Tang Ni coldly snorted and released Xiao Wu's arm.

Now she understood — her sworn little brother Tang San... was the so-called Child of Fate.

Tang Ni never doubted the visions shown by her Eye of Fate. After Tang San visited the Star Dou Great Forest, she felt that the soul beasts' luck had drastically decreased.

"That's impossible! Third brother is such a good person. He's never randomly killed any soul beasts!"

Xiao Wu immediately defended him. Whether it was that time or the time with Xiao Lin, neither had attacked any soul beasts.

"Hmph, that's because you scared them all off!"

After Tang Ni discovered Tang San's aura negatively affected soul beasts, she and the Crimson King rushed to the area he had visited.

Good grief — the place was covered in Titan Giant Ape poop. And it was... fresh.

When Tang Ni revealed the truth, Xiao Wu immediately shut her mouth and curled up, speechless.

That Titan poop had been kept in another storage-type soul tool of hers — meant to help Xiao Lin and Tang San attract soul beasts.

She never imagined…

"Still, that doesn't prove third brother would harm soul beasts!"

Once Xiao Wu's thoughts turned again, she continued to argue.

Tang Ni thought for a moment — true, she still didn't fully understand how the soul beasts' luck was being lost.

Also, during the time Tang San acquired his second ring, she hadn't sensed anything unusual at all.

"Hey, tell me, what is your third brother doing these days?"

Tang Ni wasn't as clueless as Xiao Wu. She asked directly.

"He's still doing the same thing — tinkering with soul tools and hidden weapons."

"Soul tools? What are those?"

Tang Ni wasn't familiar with soul tools. Aside from storage-type ones and some that provided light, she had no idea they could affect soul beasts.

Even Tang San himself didn't yet understand the full potential of soul tools, let alone a soul beast like Tang Ni.

As Tang Ni fell silent, Xiao Wu finally relaxed.

What? So this Rui Beast doesn't know anything either?

"Hey, take me to that Tang San now. I want to see my dear little brother!"

"What? My name's not 'Hey,' it's Xiao Wu! Also, Tang San is not your little brother!"

Xiao Wu looked annoyed. If Tang San were Tang Ni's sworn little brother, wouldn't that make her Tang Ni's sworn little sister?

"Cut the nonsense. Just take me now."

After that, Tang Ni briefly explained how she came to the human world.

The two then shared some details to help prevent either of them from being exposed in the human world.

Tang Ni used the power of fate to help Xiao Wu hide her soul beast aura again, and Xiao Wu shared her experience with faking a human presence using soul power and rings.

Of course, Tang Ni had zero interest in using Xiao Wu's crude methods.
