Chapter 15: Big White Rabbit, Little Dance, Super Large Pillow

---

Inner Region, Star Dou Great Forest

Fu Ye strolled leisurely through the dense forest. Around him, both thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts instinctively avoided him, sensing the overwhelming aura he emitted. With the breath of a Dragon God and the pressure of a Rank 99 Titled Douluo, his presence cleared the path for him with ease.

Though the forest stretched endlessly, Fu Ye walked at a relaxed pace, observing the ancient trees and the mystical beasts of the region with great interest. It was his first time delving this deep into the Star Dou Great Forest—he couldn't miss the chance to experience its primal essence.

Suddenly, he sensed a violent fluctuation of soul energy nearby.

"Hm? Two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts battling?" he mused, eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Such powerful energy was clearly no ordinary beast's doing. Besides the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, there were few soul beasts in this forest that could reach such a level—except perhaps Xiao Wu, the 90,000-year-old rabbit.

"Let's take a look," Fu Ye grinned. "This kind of drama is my specialty."

In a blink, his figure vanished.

The hidden soul beasts sighed in collective relief as his aura disappeared.

Soul Beast A: He really left… I nearly cried from the pressure.

Soul Beast B: Same… I thought I was a goner.

Soul Beast C: Wait, don't you usually hate humans?

Soul Beast D: @$%&*#!! Don't jinx it!

The mixed zone of the forest was especially lush. The air was fresh and clean, and the trees—each as thick as two people linking arms—dwarfed even the Amazon rainforest back on Blue Star.

Suddenly—

Boom!

Crack!

The deafening sounds of combat echoed through the trees.

Fu Ye arrived just in time to witness a fierce battle. Two massive figures—the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python—were working together to beat down a jet-black tiger radiating a purple-black aura.

"Oh? The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" Fu Ye raised an eyebrow. "Didn't expect to see it fighting those two big brothers."

Finding a suitable spot, Fu Ye settled in to watch the chaos unfold like a front-row VIP at a drama festival. This was far more thrilling than any animation from his previous life.

Of course, he didn't believe in watching a show on an empty stomach.

> [Congratulations, Host, for purchasing: Roast Chicken (Basketball Chicken – made from a hundred-year soul beast) × 1]

[Congratulations, Host, for purchasing: Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Wine × 1]

He dug in.

As the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python clashed with the Evil God Tiger, Fu Ye sat comfortably nearby, sipping wine and munching on roast chicken.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield—

"Brother… why do I smell alcohol?" the Titan Giant Ape asked, sniffing the air.

Smack! The Azure Bull Python's tail struck its head.

"Stop thinking about food! Drive that beast out already! Wu's mother and Xiao Wu's safety could be at stake!"

"I get it, I get it…" The Titan Giant Ape sulked, rubbing its head. Still, it couldn't ignore the delicious aroma in the air—was someone really barbecuing nearby?

Smack!

"Move!" barked the Azure Bull Python.

Watching the scene unfold, Fu Ye chuckled. "It's like watching a grumpy older brother scold his gluttonous little sibling."

Still, something was missing. Where was Xiao Wu? He remembered her as lively and curious—surely she'd be drawn to a commotion like this?

As if on cue, a flash of white appeared.

A large white rabbit with a tuft of pink fur leapt into the fray, launching an attack against both the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python.

"She attacked our seventeen-year-old comrades!" Fu Ye mocked dramatically. "What now? Should I fight back? Or… just use her as a pillow?"

Two and a half minutes later…

"Stay still, or you're tonight's dinner."

The rabbit—Xiao Wu, before she transformed—now lay perfectly still, her snow-white belly offered as a makeshift cushion beneath Fu Ye. She no longer resisted. Two fluffy paws rested on his shoulders like a deluxe doll—who could say no to this level of comfort?

Gulp. Gulp.

Fu Ye took another sip of his soul wine. "Ah, now this is living."

On Blue Star, he had long dreamed of owning a super-sized plush pillow. Now, in Douluo Continent, that dream had come true.

"Baji, baji."

The roast chicken was fragrant, the wine divine, and the battle—riveting.

Fu Ye sighed in satisfaction.

"Gurgle… gurgle…"

Hm? What was that sound? A hidden massage feature?

The big white rabbit (aka Xiao Wu): I'm starving… That roast chicken smells way too good…

Fu Ye, undeterred, continued browsing his system store.

> [Item: Low-Grade Slave Mark – Price: 0]

[Item: Intermediate Slave Mark – Price: 0]

[Item: Advanced Slave Mark – Price: 0]

[Item: Super Slave Mark – Price: 0]

"Huh. The super slave mark can enslave soul beasts over 100,000 years and below 1 million years? Not bad."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, by his estimate, was only about 40,000–50,000 years old. Not strong enough to warrant killing—but suitable as a mount.

Besides, with 99,999+ enhancement beads stored in the system, there was no need to kill for resources.

Compared to systems that made you do quests and pick options, Fu Ye preferred this laid-back, get-rich-free cheat. The joy of zero-cost shopping never got old.

He smirked. "If I really turn that tiger into a mount, I wonder how the protagonist of Sky Bead is supposed to counterattack…"

But that was none of his concern.

As he turned his gaze back to the trio battling it out, a golden talisman materialized in his hand.

There was no need to enslave the Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, or even Xiao Wu. He preferred the old-school method—beat them into submission.

As for the rabbit… she was already his obedient cushion. No need for a contract.

Fu Ye leaned back with a lazy smile. Today's trip had truly been worth it.
