Chapter 209: Ditching the Plow for a Carriage, a Soul Beast's Transformation
Two days passed.
A bullock cart from Biyou Village slowly made its way along the highway.
A sturdy ox pulled the two-wheeled cart, with an octogenarian sitting at the front, waving a rice-straw whip.
"Achoo～"
Some movement came from the pile of straw on the cart.
This was Xiao Wu's mode of transportation.
The cart was covered in straw, filled with the scent of nature.
With a breeze on all sides and the sun shining down, the scenery along the way was fully visible.
At this moment.
Xiao Wu was lying prone in the pile of straw on the cart.
Her round, large, crimson eyes darted around, very alert.
She had no choice.
After successfully securing a work-study spot with her money.
Facing the scorching summer heat, she didn't want to walk to Notting City.
It wasn't just the heat.
But also that she was easily targeted when traveling alone.
She was so cute.
What if she encountered the child traffickers written about in books?!
Moreover, her identity was so special...
Being able to spend a little money to get the village chief to stop plowing and switch to a cart was already quite good.
After all,
Given the economic level of the villages around Notting City,
Communication mostly relied on shouting, security mostly relied on dogs, and transportation mostly relied on walking.
The vast majority had no means of transportation.
Xiao Wu was already very satisfied with her current situation.
Biyou Village wasn't far from Notting City, and at the ox's pace, they would arrive in the afternoon.
Xiao Wu lay in the pile of straw, her eyes slightly narrowed.
She held a fresh carrot in her hand, smiling brightly and somewhat smugly.
"Haha... Sister Xiao Wu is so clever."
There was no one around.
Which gave her an immense sense of security.
But soon, thinking of Notting City, Xiao Wu immediately became alert.
She furrowed her brow.
"Crunch."
She took a bite of the sweet and slightly astringent carrot in her hand.
Pouting, she said:
"There shouldn't be any Title Douluo in Notting City, right..."
"If there are, I'll have to go to the Spirit Hall branch for help and trouble His Highness the Saint."
Xiao Wu pouted.
Even hiding in the pile of straw and sweating from the sun's rays,
She didn't intend to show her face.
"Mommy must protect Xiao Wu..."
Xiao Wu, with a moist carrot in her mouth, put her hands together, holding a pink bead.
Her crimson eyes closed tightly as she began to pray.
Just then, a gust of demonic wind suddenly came.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed past, stirring up a breeze.
The neatly arranged straw blanket covering Xiao Wu was immediately lifted.
"Huh? Why is there suddenly wind..."
Xiao Wu turned over in confusion, lying on the pile of straw, a little dazed.
Holding the carrot, she looked around.
"Ah oh... Why is it a bit cold."
Under the bright sun, Xiao Wu suddenly shivered, the fine hairs on her body standing on end.
On both sides of the road.
The Snake Lance, hidden in the bushes, widened his eyes and immediately stood up.
Staring intently at Xiao Wu on the cart.
In his eyes, that wasn't a doll, but a pink and tender Soft Bone Rabbit.
On the other side of the road.
The Porcupine, who had just swept past the cart to check, also had shining eyes.
A cold light flashed, mixed with shock.
He exchanged glances with the Snake Lance on the opposite side, without any hesitation.
The Porcupine took off the pink hat on his head.
Whoosh!
He immediately flicked it into the wind.
A pink sack suddenly took shape in the Porcupine's hand.
At the same time.
The Snake Lance had already rushed towards the cart.
"Little girl, what's wrong?"
Just as the octogenarian was about to turn his head to check, a black wind swept over, carrying dust.
"Hiss—! Where did this wind come from..."
The old man raised his hand to rub his eyes.
"Ah—! Snake... Glug～"
Xiao Wu on the cart widened her crimson eyes and opened her mouth.
Before she could shout "Snake Lance Elder..."
A dark pill was thrown into her mouth.
It was swallowed.
Xiao Wu dropped the carrot in her hand, grabbing her neck tightly.
Her crimson eyes widened, filled with confusion and a hint of terror.
Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Whoosh!
The instantly dissolving sleeping pill took effect in an instant, and the Snake Lance threw Xiao Wu towards the Porcupine.
Thump!
The Porcupine opened the pink sack with both hands, steadily catching Xiao Wu inside.
By the time the old man came to his senses.
Xiao Wu had disappeared, leaving only the half-eaten carrot.
"Little girl, little girl?!"
"Huh? Could she have been blown under the cart by the wind?"
The cart slowly stopped.
In the bushes covered with many sacks, stood two figure like poles.
Both of their faces seemed somewhat excited.
The Porcupine grabbed the pink sack in his hand, seeking confirmation, "Snake Lance, I didn't see wrong, did I?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
The Snake Lance stared straight at the sack, his words a little numb.
Whoosh!
The Porcupine opened the sack again and took a look.
His eyes were filled with excitement.
"Yes, yes, this is the little girl the young lady wants!"
"To think she's a 100,000-year soul beast in human form!"
The Snake Lance's throat was dry.
"How did the young lady know? It's simply divine calculation!"
"Let's go, we need to go back quickly!"
The Porcupine quickly put the sack on his shoulder.
"Don't forget, the young lady also instructed us not to get into conflicts with others..."
The Snake Lance's heart tightened!
Those qualified to conflict with them were at least Title Douluo.
Understanding the danger, the Snake Lance quickly urged:
"Okay, let's go!"
The bushes shook violently, and two figures soared into the air.
Heading towards Heaven Dou City.
When Title Douluo travel at full speed, their speed is absolutely terrifying.
On the other side.
Qian Renjue and Ling Yuan had already approached Heaven Dou City.
"Ah Yin, don't twist your body when sucking blood!"
"Yes, Master, ooh～ it's so hot..."
"And don't grab randomly!"
"……"
……
——
At dusk, the Dugu Estate.
Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed, a golden six-winged angel hovering behind her.
Holy light shone down, and the soul power in her body flowed.
Three purple and three black, six soul rings constantly rotated.
With a captivating face, solemn and holy, golden hair as smooth as a waterfall.
"Huff～"
Qian Renxue exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
Her purple-golden eyes opened, and the holy light in the room began to converge.
"Miss Xue, have some tea."
Seeing Qian Renxue finish her cultivation.
Dugu Yan, who occasionally served by her side, immediately stepped forward with tea.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue took the teacup, gently blew on it, and raised her eyes to ask:
"Is Jue almost here?"
"This subordinate doesn't know, Father is already waiting in the backyard."
Dugu Yan responded softly.
Her light green beautiful eyes held a hint of longing and anticipation.
Qian Renxue calmly glanced at Dugu Yan.
Remaining silent.
She looked up at the twilight by the window, wondering if the rabbit had been caught.
Backyard of the Dugu Estate.
Ling Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, smoothly drove the carriage into the back garden.
"Dugu Xin greets Your Majesty."
Dugu Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to welcome them.
"Mm, no need for formalities."
Douluo Ling Yuan nodded slightly, turned around, and lifted the curtain.
"Dugu Xin, take me directly to see Sister."
Qian Renjue walked out of the carriage, bending over.
He casually raised his hand, tidying the clothes that had been messed up by Ah Yin.
Dugu Xin was slightly stunned as he looked at Qian Renjue.
He immediately responded when he came back to his senses.
"Yes, Your Highness... Please come this way."
Wishing everyone a happy life!
