3: Chapter 3 Xiao Wu's Transformation

"Friends? Why is Xiao Wu getting new friends? Da Ming, Er Ming, what happened?"

After enjoying her mother's caress, Xiao Wu looked at her mother and then turned to ask her two younger brothers beside her.

Bai Qi suddenly began to squeak and chatter, pointing toward the forest ahead, drawing everyone's attention. They all looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the forest ahead, a woman with blue hair appeared; she had a gentle appearance that carried a hint of sadness.

As soon as she emerged, she looked at the group and spoke.

"My name is Ah Yin, and I am also a transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast."

"Thank you all for your help."

After speaking, she forced a small smile onto her face, though after the blow she had just suffered, the smile was very strained.

Xiao Wu was the first to bounce over to Ah Yin's side and ask.

"Um, Sister Ah Yin, have you been to the human World? Tell me stories about what happened to you there."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else."

After saying that, she turned to look at the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, smiling as she spoke.

"Right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, the two Spirit Beasts immediately turned their heads away.

After all, Xiao Wu didn't dare threaten her own mother; that would be asking for a beating.

Watching the scene before her, Ah Yin breathed a small sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became a bit more natural.

Ah Rou walked over, holding Bai Qi in her arms.

"Since you're here, just stay. You must have seen what the outside World is like just now."

"Why not cultivate here? Xiao Wu just happens to want a playmate."

Hearing Ah Rou, Ah Yin looked down at Xiao Wu beside her and smiled.

"Okay."

Bai Qi, enjoying himself in Ah Rou's arms, looked at the scene and started laughing along.

At that moment.

In the Divine Realm, at the God Realm Committee, the Asura God King was furious.

"Who ruined the encounter I arranged between the Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Hao?"

"Oh, Asura, who provoked you to such a state?"

Just as the Asura God King was preparing to deduce who had interfered with his plan, the God King Destruction, seeing Asura so enraged, immediately chimed in with sarcasm.

"Was it you?"

Looking at the mocking God King Destruction, the Asura God King didn't even bother using Divine Power to deduce anymore; he directly concluded it was Destruction's doing.

"What if it was, and what if it wasn't? What can you do about it?"

The God King Destruction, who had just arrived and casually dropped a snide remark only to have a blame-hat pinned on him, wasn't angry, but he knew Asura was truly enraged.

Leaving behind those words, he prepared to depart. He also wanted to see if the person who could disrupt Asura's plans might come to the Divine Realm in the future; perhaps they might even end up on the same side.

Watching Destruction leave, Asura was both annoyed and helpless. He could only pick up a stalk of Blue Silver Grass from a nearby flower basket, use Divine Power to accelerate its growth, and let it take the place of the Blue Silver Emperor.

After all, since the Spirit gap was huge, it was possible for twin spirits to appear.

Five years passed in a flash. The Asura God King's plan proceeded as intended; Tang San was still born and lost his mother.

During these five years, Bai Qi had also accomplished quite a lot.

After having Lu Bu drive Ah Yin back, Bai Qi had the system hide Lu Bu's spirit ring configuration to appear as the optimal combination and lowered his Soul Power to Rank 85. He sent him to the Heaven Dou Empire to build a career, and he was now the top figure under General Ge Long.

Furthermore, he had become acquainted with almost all the girls of similar age on the Douluo Continent, though he often forgot to sign in, except for those in the protagonist's group.

During these five years, the system had also given him many items.

"Sister Xiao Wu, are you really going to transform today?"

This white-haired young boy, whose face still held a touch of innocence while acting like a little adult, was indeed Bai Qi.

He had grown quite a bit in these five years, but he wasn't yet six years old, so he couldn't awaken his Spirit.

"Of course. Even if I transform, I still have to be your older sister. Otherwise, if I transform in a few years, wouldn't I have to call you 'big brother'?"

Xiao Wu said with a look of pride, and then she began to prepare for the transformation.

"Fine, but Sister Xiao Wu, if you're transforming, why didn't you call Aunt Rou, and why didn't you call Sister Ah Yin?"

After speaking, Bai Qi looked around with concern, as if some fierce beast might suddenly appear.

"Well, um..."

"Don't worry about those details. Besides, this place isn't too far from home. If anything happens, Er Ming will be here instantly. Let's hurry and start."

Xiao Wu replied unconfidently, looking left and right.

"She probably forgot."

Looking at the guilty-faced Xiao Wu, Bai Qi thought to himself.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was indeed quite unreliable, Bai Qi already had a Subordinate Recruitment Voucher gripped in his hand; if there was an accident, he would summon one immediately.

As Xiao Wu began her transformation, anomalies appeared in the sky, and thunderclouds began to churn.

By the Lake of Life, Ah Rou and Ah Yin watched the transformation thunderclouds while calmly drinking tea. After all, there were two enforcers standing nearby; if anything went wrong, they would rush over immediately.

Xiao Wu's transformation went very smoothly and was finished in a short while.

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xiao Wu successfully transform without any mishaps.

Once the transformation was complete and before the light had faded, Xiao Wu changed into that pink outfit and came bouncing out of the ball of light.

Bai Qi stared blankly at the pretty little girl emerging from the orb. He was stunned for a moment, but as soon as the girl opened her mouth, that pretty charm vanished, replaced by the air of a bossy, tsundere brat.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Hurry up and call me Sister Xiao Wu. Sister Xiao Wu will protect you."

"Alright, Sister Xiao Wu. Let's head back, or Aunt Rou will get worried."

With his filters shattered, a weary Bai Qi prepared to lead Xiao Wu back.

"Yeah, let's go."

After speaking, Xiao Wu skipped and hopped her way back.

"System, open the character panel."

Bai Qi began chatting with the system while following behind Xiao Wu.

"..."

"I'm just saying, can't we remove the mouse part of the description?"

[No, it is a unit of combat power. It can be changed later. Please persevere, Host.]

"Fine. But are these Subordinate Vouchers definitely for Titled Douluo level?"

[No. It depends on the Host's needs. The Host can customize the level of the summoned subordinate (there is an upper limit based on character strength, usually Rank 95, except for God Executors).]

"That's fine then. Alright, nothing else for you. Dismissed."

After finishing with the system, Bai Qi began to ponder. How should he give this Spirit Beast Aura Masking device to Xiao Wu?

Forget it, don't overthink it, just give it to her. Thinking this, he acted.

"Sister Xiao Wu, I have something to give you."

Hearing Bai Qi call her, Xiao Wu turned around and responded.

"What is it, Xiao Qi?"

Seeing Xiao Wu turn around, Bai Qi immediately handed over the wristband in his hand.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment when she saw the wristband.

"Is this for me?"

"Who else? Do you want it? If not, I'll give it to Sister Ah Yin."

Looking at the blushing and tsundere Bai Qi, Xiao Wu smiled and took the wristband, putting it on her wrist and showing it off to Bai Qi.

"How is it? Does it look good, Little Brother Xiao Qi?"

"It doesn't look good. I'm leaving."

Hearing Xiao Wu's slightly teasing way of speaking, Bai Qi, who hadn't had a partner in two lifetimes, blushed even deeper. Leaving those words behind, he quickly ran back.

"Hahaha."

After laughing, Xiao Wu watched him from behind and thought that having him as a brother seemed quite nice.
