Chapter 87 A Long-Awaited Reunion
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed a small town near the Star Dou Forest in an orange hue.
Su Mo and Ah Yin walked slowly down the street.
Ah Yin tightly hugged Su Mo's arm with both hands, her whole body almost pressed against him.
The two chatted and laughed, their manner extremely intimate.
Over the past three months, Su Mo had been traveling across the continent with Ah Yin while also completing his own divine test.
To date, he had completed one-third of his divine examination.
Three months had passed, and Ah Yin had undergone a complete transformation.
At first, even a casual touch from Su Mo could make her blush and her eyes dart around nervously.
But now, Ah Yin's girlish shyness had long since disappeared, replaced by a gentle and mature charm in her eyes, a charm that only a woman nourished by love possesses.
After all, under Su Mo's gentle pursuit, Ah Yin, whose heart was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, could not resist, so she fell for him quickly and completely.
Not long after, the two arrived at the best inn in town.
It was a three-story wooden building.
"Ah Yin, let's stay here tonight," Su Mo said with a smile.
Ah Yin nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
...
Meanwhile, outside the town, a luxurious carriage was slowly approaching.
The driver was a man dressed in a black robe with a stiff face.
It was none other than Gui Mei, an elder of the Spirit Hall.
"Your Highness, it is getting late. Why don't we rest here for the night and set off back to Spirit City tomorrow?" Gui Mei asked in a hoarse tone.
"Okay." A clear and melodious female voice came from inside the carriage.
The next moment, a slender, fair hand slightly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face.
Even a fleeting glimpse was enough to captivate one's heart.
This person was none other than Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
After three months of diligent training, she finally broke through the level sixty bottleneck.
This time, accompanied by Gui Mei, the two ventured deep into the Star Dou Forest, where she successfully obtained her sixth spirit ring.
Now, she was a level sixty-one Soul Emperor.
Although her strength was still far inferior to that of her monstrous junior brother, Su Mo.
But looking across the continent today, apart from Su Mo, there was no one else who could reach the Soul Emperor realm at such a young age.
The carriage soon entered the town.
Bibi Dong gazed listlessly at the bustling crowd outside the car window, her thoughts drifting far away, her eyes filled with longing.
Her purpose in going out this time was to obtain her sixth spirit ring.
Secondly, she hoped to run into that jerk of a junior brother who had been gone for years.
"Your Highness, there's a nice-looking inn up ahead. Let's stay there tonight."
"Okay." Bibi Dong snapped out of her thoughts and said softly.
Before long, the carriage came to a stop in front of the inn, and the two quickly got off.
Just as Bibi Dong took her first step, she suddenly stopped, and her pupils contracted sharply.
She saw a very familiar male figure leading a blue-haired woman upstairs.
The man was tall and straight, his head slightly turned as he spoke softly to the blue-haired woman beside him, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
Although the distance was quite far and several years had passed, she would never mistake that back view, that profile, even if it turned to ashes.
That was her junior brother, Su Mo.
But... who was that blue-haired woman?
An indescribable bittersweet feeling instantly welled up in her heart.
It was a pity that she had missed Su Mo day and night for so many years, and even while cultivating, she would unconsciously think of his appearance.
And what was the result?
He was really something else. Not only did he have another woman outside, but he also brazenly brought her to an inn room.
Bibi Dong stood still, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain whatsoever.
Her mind was in chaos, a jumble of emotions churning within her.
She was afraid that Su Mo had changed his heart, afraid that she wasn't actually that important to him, and afraid that all her years of longing and waiting would turn out to be just wishful thinking.
Gui Mei noticed Bibi Dong's unusual behavior and followed her gaze, quickly recognizing Su Mo as well.
However, when Gui Mei's gaze fell on Ah Yin, his pupils suddenly contracted.
That aura...
Gui Mei narrowed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings, his heart filled with turmoil.
That was a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.
Soul beasts that were 100,000 years old were already extremely rare, and those that could transform into human form were even more so.
Those were walking 100,000-year spirit rings and spirit bones.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a very low voice, in a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"Your Highness, that blue-haired woman… is a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast."
He paused briefly, then added, "His Highness is currently only at the Soul Saint level. Normally, he would have difficulty sensing the aura of a transformed soul beast. He may not yet have realized this woman's identity."
"A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?!"
Bibi Dong's previous jealousy and anger were instantly replaced by a strong sense of worry.
There was a natural antagonistic relationship between soul beasts and humans.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human. Although it looked no different from a human, it was still a beast at heart.
Bibi Dong was worried that Su Mo was being kept in the dark, that the soul beast had ulterior motives, and that it might harm him.
"Elder Gui Mei, let's go inside quickly."
Bibi Dong spoke urgently and, without regard for anything else, strode into the inn.
Gui Mei followed closely behind, his soul power already surging within him, ready to strike at any moment.
...
Inside the room.
As soon as Su Mo closed the door, Ah Yin wrapped her arms around his waist.
Su Mo looked down at her, about to lean down, but suddenly stopped.
Just now, a powerful spiritual force had swept by.
If Su Mo's spiritual strength hadn't far surpassed that of ordinary people, it would have been almost impossible to detect.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his spiritual power was quietly released.
In an instant, he sensed two familiar auras.
Su Mo's heart suddenly tightened.
Bibi Dong? Gui Mei?
How did they get here?
His mind was working at lightning speed.
He knew that with Gui Mei's strength, he must have already sensed Ah Yin's true identity.
However, that was not what he was worried about.
After all, Gui Mei was one of his people.
What he was worried about was the potential conflict between the two women.
Ah Yin was fine, but he wondered what Bibi Dong would do.
"Su Mo, what's wrong?"
Ah Yin noticed Su Mo's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.
Su Mo took a deep breath, pressed down on Ah Yin's shoulder, and said seriously, "Ah Yin, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid."
Although Ah Yin didn't understand why, she felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she saw Su Mo's unusually serious expression.
She nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Because she had complete trust in him.
A moment later.
Bang bang bang—
Rapid knocking sounded on the door.
Su Mo opened the door without hesitation.
Ah Yin stood half a step behind him.
