Chapter 69 Let's get to know each other again. My name is Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit!
A few breaths later, the ordinary face disappeared, replaced by the Ye Tianchen that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong knew.
Compared to a few months ago, Ye Tianchen had undoubtedly undergone a tremendous change.
He grew taller, his skin became fairer, and even his already handsome features became more defined.
A golden lightning pattern appeared between his eyebrows, and just looking at it caused a sharp pain.
"No wonder your Spirit rings and appearance have changed."
Xiao Wu looked him up and down, a sudden realization flashing in her eyes.
"So it was because of the Spirit bone. It seems you've gained something new while I was gone."
She recalled the Spirit ring configuration of that "Ye Tianchen" from earlier, and also remembered how he looked when she first met him, and she already understood a few things.
Ye Tianchen nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.
"That was indeed a significant gain."
He said.
"However, this is also thanks to Erming and Sword Douluo."
Ning Rongrong's heart stirred.
Of course she remembered that day when Sword Douluo hurriedly rode the Seven Kill Sword to the Star Dou Forest.
It turned out it was for Ye Tianchen, but why did Sword Douluo and her father hide it from her? Did something happen that they didn't want her to know?
"Sister Xiao Wu! Sister Xiao Wu!"
The Titan Giant Ape suddenly spoke excitedly, interrupting Ning Rongrong's thoughts.
It turned its head, its huge head close to Xiao Wu's, its golden eyes full of a smug look.
"You don't know, that Soul Douluo named Yu Zhanhui only managed to hold me back briefly because of this hundred-thousand-year Mirage Dragon skull!"
It gestured wildly.
"Fortunately, Brother Tianchen was quick-witted, and the old man with the sword arrived in time; otherwise, the outcome would have been very different!"
It paused here, then scratched its huge head.
"Although that old man had a cold face, his strength was indeed formidable. He had nothing to say to Brother Tianchen, and even after seeing the age of that Spirit bone, he remained unfazed and showed no intention of taking it for himself."
The Titan Giant Ape's words carried a rare hint of admiration.
Ning Rongrong was initially displeased with the title "old man with a sword," but her displeasure dissipated after hearing the rest.
Sword Douluo truly deserved the title of someone who could earn the approval of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit beast.
But then another question arose in her mind.
What did the Titan Giant Ape call Xiao Wu?
Sister Xiao Wu?
Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
She carefully observed the Titan Giant Ape's attitude towards Xiao Wu.
That closeness, that respect, that... it was as if it really treated Xiao Wu as an older sister.
Keep in mind, Xiao Wu was only a twelve-year-old girl.
Even if the Titan Giant Ape was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit beast with exceptional talent, it would still take ten thousand years to grow into one.
A Spirit beast, conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of years old, calling a girl around twelve years old "sister"?
No matter how she thought about it, Ning Rongrong felt something was off.
Unless...
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
A thought that even she found somewhat unbelievable.
Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly turned her head.
A bright smile appeared on her delicate little face.
Her pearly white teeth shone brightly in the sunlight, making her look incredibly cute.
But the light in those eyes set off alarm bells in Ning Rongrong's mind.
"It looks..."
Xiao Wu said with a smile.
"You seem to have discovered something."
Ning Rongrong's heart tightened suddenly.
"Since that's the case..."
Xiao Wu's smile became even brighter.
"We can't let you go back alive."
She waved her hand, her tone light and cheerful, as if she were talking about what to eat today.
"Erming, take care of her."
Although the Titan Giant Ape was somewhat confused, it obediently stretched out its huge hand and reached out to grab Ning Rongrong.
The palm was as big as a small mountain, covering the sky and the sun.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong let out a terrified scream.
She instinctively wanted to crush Sword Douluo's keepsake.
But that hand was too fast, so fast that she didn't have time to react!
At this critical moment—
"Pfft!"
Xiao Wu suddenly clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
The laughter was crisp and melodious, echoing through the forest.
She laughed so hard she almost cried.
"Hahaha! Rongrong, your expression is hilarious!"
The Titan Giant Ape's hand froze in mid-air, and it scratched its head in confusion.
Ning Rongrong's scream stopped abruptly.
She stared blankly at Xiao Wu, who was laughing so hard she was almost rolling, and the fear on her face gradually turned into an indescribable expression.
In that expression, there was relief at surviving a disaster, annoyance at being teased, and a hint of helpless amusement.
"Xiao Wu!"
She puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu laughed even louder.
"Alright, Erming."
A helpless voice rang out.
"Your Sister Xiao Wu is just teasing her."
Ye Tianchen stepped forward and gently patted the Titan Giant Ape's hand.
The enormous hand obediently retracted and rested on the ground again.
The Titan Giant Ape glanced at Xiao Wu, who was still laughing heartily, then at Ye Tianchen, who looked helpless. It scratched its massive head and finally decided to continue lying on the ground.
It couldn't understand what Xiao Wu was thinking.
But since Ye Tianchen had said so, then let it go.
Xiao Wu finally finished laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Are you angry?"
Ning Rongrong snorted and turned her head away.
But the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Ye Tianchen looked at the two girls and gently shook his head.
"Since Erming brought you here..."
He said, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.
"That means we're all on the same side, so there's nothing to hide."
He paused.
"Should you tell me yourselves, or should I tell you for you?"
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu spoke first.
"Let's do it ourselves."
She jumped off the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder and stood in front of Ning Rongrong.
Those bright eyes were now filled with seriousness.
"My name is Xiao Wu."
She said.
"The Spirit beast has taken human form; its true form is a hundred-thousand-year Soft-Boned Rabbit."
Ning Rongrong's pupils suddenly contracted.
A Spirit beast in human form? A hundred-thousand-year Soft-Boned Rabbit?
"My mother saved young Daming and Erming back then."
Xiao Wu continued, her gaze softening.
"That's why they call me Sister Xiao Wu. Daming is the Azure Bull Python, and Erming is the Titan Giant Ape."
In Ning Rongrong's mind, countless clues connected at this moment.
The presence of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape's respect for Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's ease and comfort in the Star Dou Forest.
"So..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"You're that little bunny who loves to eat carrots?"
