4: Chapter 4 Xiao Wu and A Yin Open and Honest

“Xiao Qi, why are you running so fast? Where’s Xiao Wu?”

Aunt Rou saw Bai Qi running back so quickly, thinking something had happened, so she stood up and asked Bai Qi.

“Nothing, Sister Xiao Wu is behind me and will be back soon. I’m going back inside first.”

After answering, Bai Qi ran back into the house, closing the door behind him.

Aunt Rou watched Bai Qi run back into the house with a bewildered expression. She then turned and saw Xiao Wu returning, and asked again.

“Xiao Wu, what’s wrong with Xiao Qi?”

“Nothing, Mom. What are we eating later?”

Xiao Wu skillfully avoided Aunt Rou’s question and diverted her mother’s attention.

Only Ah Yin, sitting beside them, felt a little jealous, as Ah Yin wasn’t much older than Xiao Wu.

Aunt Rou already had Xiao Wu when she was a Spirit Beast. Ah Yin, as a Spirit Beast, had no offspring and her cultivation speed was definitely faster than the Soft Bones Rabbit, so here, Ah Yin is set to have transformed earlier than Xiao Wu.

She was also at an innocent age, otherwise, she wouldn't have met Tang Hao and given birth to Tang San within about two years.

After all, Ah Yin watched Bai Qi grow up and naturally had a good impression of him. Seeing the bracelet on Xiao Wu’s wrist, she also guessed something.

However, she wasn't too sad, because ever since Bai Qi could talk, whenever he was asked to choose between her and Xiao Wu, he always said he wanted them both.

Having thought this through, Ah Yin decided to have a frank talk with Xiao Wu.

“Xiao Wu, let’s go talk over there.”

“Okay, Sister Ah Yin.”

While Xiao Wu was still answering her mother’s questions, Ah Yin’s voice came like a ray of light. She immediately responded and pulled Ah Yin away.

Aunt Rou watched Xiao Wu pull Ah Yin away quickly, and smiled helplessly. After all, she had also seen Xiao Wu’s bracelet and knew about Ah Yin’s feelings.

But she could only sigh at Bai Qi’s great charm. If he was like this when he was little, what would he be like when he grew up?

Xiao Wu brought Ah Yin aside.

“What’s wrong, Sister Ah Yin? What do you want to talk about?”

“Well, Xiao Wu, I... I might have fallen for Bai Qi too.”

“Ah?”

Ah Yin, lost in thought, blurted it out, startling Xiao Wu.

After a moment of silence in the air, and Xiao Wu pondering for a bit, she replied.

“That’s fine, Sister Ah Yin. After all, that silly boy has always said he wants both me and Sister Ah Yin, and it’s not uncommon among Spirit Beasts either.”

“So, it’s fine, Sister Ah Yin.”

“Xiao Wu, thank you.”

After hearing Xiao Wu’s words, Ah Yin immediately hugged Xiao Wu and thanked her.

“Then, Sister Ah Yin, the problem is solved, let’s go back.”

“I’m hungry.”

“Okay, let’s go back.”

After resolving the issue, the two held hands and returned.

Aunt Rou saw the two returning and called out.

“Dinner’s ready, Xiao Wu, go call Bai Qi out to eat.”

“Okay.”

After responding, Xiao Wu went to call Bai Qi.

Another year passed, and still no major changes occurred.

During this year, the monthly system check-ins didn’t yield much good stuff, just two subordinate vouchers, gold coins for five months, and four spirit ring upgrade vouchers for subordinates.

Xiao Wu’s Soul Power level was raised to level sixteen under her mother’s supervision.

And Aunt Rou’s Soul Power level reached eighty-three.

Ah Yin also entered her mature phase.

Today was also Bai Qi’s sixth birthday, and Aunt Rou was preparing to awaken Bai Qi’s Spirit.

“Xiao Qi, are you ready?”

Aunt Rou, who had spent a few days outside learning how to awaken a Spirit, was preparing to awaken Bai Qi’s Spirit.

“Aunt Rou, I’m ready.”

Bai Qi was unusually excited now. He could finally awaken his Spirit! It was the Candle Dragon, possessing both space and time attributes. Isn’t that invincible?

“Go, Xiao Qi! Even if you don’t awaken a good Spirit, Sister Ah Yin and I will still look after you.”

“Mm.”

Xiao Wu’s encouragement from the side was well-intentioned, but it would be better if she didn't encourage him next time.

“Alright, Xiao Wu, stop talking. Come on, Xiao Qi, stand in the middle, don’t be nervous.”

Aunt Rou took out the black stones and a crystal ball she had prepared beforehand, arranging the stones into a hexagram.

Seeing Bai Qi standing in the center, Aunt Rou began to inject Soul Power. As the Soul Power flowed in, more and more golden light particles merged into Bai Qi’s body.

Bai Qi quietly watched the surrounding scenery. Is this what it’s like to awaken a Spirit? Bai Qi thought to himself, his hand instinctively reaching out.

The moment his hand extended, all the golden light converged in his palm, gradually turning from gold to red.

A small dragon flew out from his palm, gradually growing larger and circling around Bai Qi.

This dragon had three eyes on its head, two tightly shut, with only the middle third eye open. It had a serpent's body but five claws, and a pair of small, unexpanded wings on its back.

The moment this Spirit appeared, everyone was stunned. A dragon-type Spirit—the only thing they could think of was that Bai Qi might be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Except for Xiao Wu, who was still happy that Bai Qi’s awakened Spirit was a dragon.

“Xiao Qi, are you...”

“No.”

Bai Qi interrupted Aunt Rou just as she was about to ask.

“First, I don’t come from anywhere. Second, I grew up here. No matter who comes, I am from here.”

“Exactly, Mom! Xiao Qi has always grown up here!”

As the Spirit was retracted, Xiao Wu immediately jumped onto Bai Qi.

“You... you child.”

Although Aunt Rou’s words were interrupted, she felt a sense of warmth.

“Then let’s go, test your Soul Power level.”

With her doubts cleared, Aunt Rou asked Bai Qi to come over and test his Soul Power level.

“Okay.”

Bai Qi placed his hand on the crystal ball, and the moment he injected Soul Power, it exploded.

“This is? It surpassed the limit of Innate Full Soul Power.”

The moment the crystal ball exploded, even with their mental preparation, Aunt Rou and the others were shocked. It surpassed the limit of Innate Full Soul Power.

He will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future, but what about this child’s spirit rings?

Just as everyone was both excited and anxious, a sudden voice broke the silence.

“Our Lord requests this child to come over.”

The moment the voice appeared, everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw two mature women standing there. One was dressed in purple, the one who had just spoken. Beside her stood a green-haired, very gentle-looking girl.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python instinctively stood in front of everyone.

“Everyone, please don’t panic. I am Bi Ji, a five-hundred-ninety-thousand-year Emerald Swan. Our Lord is the Common Lord of Soul Beasts, so in a way, we are our own people.”

“Common Lord of Soul Beasts?”

Everyone exclaimed, only Bai Qi pretended not to know and added.

“Who?”

Bi Ji frowned, but then remembered he was human and let it go.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Come with us, you’ll be back soon.”

“Mm, okay.”

“Aunt Rou, Xiao Wu, Sister Ah Yin, I’m going to see what’s going on. Wait for me to come back.”

After speaking to them, he turned to Da Ming and Er Ming.

“Protect them well, okay? I’ll teach Er Ming how to use a staff when I get back.”

Da Ming hadn’t even spoken yet, but Er Ming, hearing Bai Qi say he would teach him how to use a staff, immediately nodded in agreement.

After speaking to Da Ming and Er Ming, Bai Qi was ready to go with them. Xiao Wu instinctively tried to stop him for a moment, but Bai Qi gave her a reassuring look.

“Let’s go.”

Then, under everyone’s worried gazes, he left with Zi Ji and Bi Ji.
