78: Little sister, look at me...

Chapter 78: Little Sister, Look at My... Yu Mengzhang looked towards the door.

The great door suddenly opened on its own, revealing the scene outside.

The sky was gradually darkening, the setting sun about to sink below the mountains, with red clouds blanketing the horizon.

The entire World seemed coated in a faint layer of red light.

In the World outside the door, Dragon Duke Meng Shu held his dragon-headed staff, eight spirit rings pulsating up and down, while Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang beside him had six spirit rings.

The fourteen spirit rings shared a mysterious connection, attracting each other.

They were all staring intently into the Divine Hall.

Their gazes were fervent, filled with intense greed.

Instantly, Xiao Wu realized they had definitely come for her mother.

The value of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone was far too high!

And their gazes confirmed this point, immediately reminding Xiao Wu of the nightmare of being hunted by Spirit Hall Spirit Masters.

Without time to think further, she cried out urgently, "High Priest, I'll lure them away..."

Though Xiao Wu's body was small, her sturdy thighs were powerful; like an arrow released from a bowstring, she instantly shot out of the Divine Hall, fleeing towards the other side.

"..." Yu Mengzhang frowned slightly.

This frightened rabbit, fleeing in panic, had it forgotten its own abilities?

Xiao Wu's sudden dash broke the standstill's silence.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu and his wife didn't know exactly who was the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in human form.

But seeing Xiao Wu run, they instinctively gave chase.

Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang shot out a snake-shaped light rope that caught up with Xiao Wu in the blink of an eye, entangling her body.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu arrived before Xiao Wu and grabbed her arm.

"Where do you think you're running...?!"

His voice carried irrepressible joy.

A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in human form!

That meant a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone!

Their Family was going to rise to prominence!

In his excitement, he even forgot the majesty of the Divine Lord.

The moment he grabbed Xiao Wu's arm, Dragon Duke Meng Shu immediately discovered she wasn't a Spirit Beast in human form, but an ordinary little girl.

"Impossible... How could you not be a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in human form?"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu said unwillingly.

However, he was only a Spirit Douluo; no matter how he checked, Xiao Wu was just an ordinary human.

Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang came over with her granddaughter and whispered, "Old man, it might still be inside."

"Right, right, we mustn't be hasty!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and lifted her up.

Blinded by greed now, he had almost completely forgotten the danger.

Turning to look at the Divine Hall, he instantly noticed Yu Mengzhang.

Yu Mengzhang was watching them calmly.

Those golden eyes were like two suns in the dark night, crashing in with an unreasonable force.

"!!!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu froze on the spot. At this moment, he felt like an ant paying homage to a dragon, looking up only to find the entire sky was merely the dragon's body.

His Spirit contained a trace of draconic majesty.

But what he felt from Yu Mengzhang, what was contained within the statue, was the difference between a firefly and the sun!

Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang was also immobilized, even more pitifully so, directly falling to her knees.

Without Yu Mengzhang saying a word, they recognized the situation.

"Gulp...!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu swallowed his saliva, hurriedly averted his gaze, and lowered his head.

But his mind was filled with the pounding sound of his own heartbeat.

Joy and excitement had all vanished, leaving only terror.

He suddenly understood why Salas hadn't come up with him, and hadn't even mentioned the matter of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in human form.

Was he waiting to watch him die?!

Dragon Duke Meng Shu was drenched in sweat, his clothes clinging to his body.

A light breeze blew, chilling him to the bone!

Gritting his teeth, suppressing his fear, he looked at Xiao Wu and, using his remaining wits, pointed to one of his spirit rings and said with a forced smile:

"Little sister, do you think my spirit ring is pretty?"

"..."

Xiao Wu had now regained her senses.

Her face immediately flushed red. She had been scared half to death by Dragon Duke Meng Shu earlier, which led her to do something so foolish.

Would the High Priest think she doubted his strength and come to dislike her?

And now this wretched old man still wouldn't let her go.

"Pretty...? Pretty your sister! Idiot!" Xiao Wu directly started cursing.

But Dragon Duke Meng Shu dared not show any anger, meekly accepting the insult.

In this situation, being alive was good enough!

Xiao Wu broke free, lowered her head, and started walking back towards the Divine Hall.

Halfway there, a sound came.

"Roar...!"

An excited dragon roar sounded.

The Single-Horned Thunder Dragon flew over from the distance, its tongue lolling out comically from the side of its mouth.

"You beast! Stop right there for me!"

A furious voice followed closely behind.

Salas jumped onto the plaza, and upon landing, immediately noticed the bizarre scene.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu and his Family stood dumbfounded in place.

A little girl was walking with her head down towards the Divine Hall.

And the Spirit Beast that had been toying with him had run to the entrance of the Divine Hall and was rubbing its large head against a youth.

It looked exactly like a pet dog... although in the Spirit Master's world, it was a consensus passed down for millennia that Spirit Beasts could not be tamed.

But if it involved the Divine Dragon Hall, then perhaps it wasn't impossible.

Instantly, being an old fox, Salas guessed everything.

"You beast! I told you not to disturb the Divine Lord, why did you still come up?!"

Salas pointed at Dragon Duke Meng Shu, angrily scolding.

"???"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu was dumbfounded, his heart suddenly blazing with anger.

That damned Salas, even at a time like this, still trying to throw mud at him?!

If it weren't for this bastard tricking him, how could he have offended the Divine Dragon Hall?

"Bastard...!!! Salas! You cunning fox! You..." Dragon Duke Meng Shu grew anxious, roaring loudly.

"Silence." Yu Mengzhang said calmly.

"..."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu immediately shut his mouth, feeling anxious inside, fearing Yu Mengzhang might truly believe Salas's words.

But, Yu Mengzhang did not speak further with them.

He turned and entered the Divine Hall.

Xiao Wu made a face at them and also went in.

Only the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon was left outside the door; it snorted Wrongedly, then strode over towards the group with high steps.

"Thud...!"

The four of them knelt simultaneously.

No matter how the Divine Dragon Hall decided to handle this, their attitude had to be made clear!

...Inside the Divine Dragon Hall, five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—appeared on A Rou's body, pulsating continuously. Gradually, the final black spirit ring slowly split, forming an even darker black ring.

A Rou's Soul Power aura also rose from level 59 to level 61!

Simultaneously, she no longer emitted the aura of a Spirit Beast.

From this moment on, she had completely transformed into a human!

A Rou opened her eyes and looked at Yu Mengzhang.

She hurriedly tried to stand up, but having sat cross-legged for too long, she fell forward.

"Mom...!"

Xiao Wu rushed forward to support her.

But A Rou pulled her down to kneel together, kowtowing to Yu Mengzhang.

Yu Mengzhang made a slight lifting motion with his hand, a force supporting A Rou.

But he didn't help Xiao Wu; A Rou used her strength, making Xiao Wu's head knock heavily against the ground.

It made a crisp *dong* sound!
