Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 32 Gu Yue: So I'm a Class I protected animal?
"No end!"

Gu Yue's face was as pale as paper, her slender body darting swiftly through the forest, several wind trails flowing beneath her feet, each one dimmer than the last.

She could feel her soul power rapidly draining away, while the oppressive feeling behind her grew ever closer.

That human-faced demonic spider, with nearly a thousand years of cultivation, clearly had no intention of letting her go.

As the speed gradually slowed down, Gu Yue leaned against the tree trunk beside her, panting slightly, her pretty face filled with exhaustion.

Swish!
The human-faced spider leaped onto a large tree in front of it, its ferocious mouth opening and closing, and foul-smelling saliva dripping from its fangs.

Its abdomen contracted, and strands of spider silk shot out, quickly weaving into a web of death that completely blocked Gu Yue's escape route.

This human girl was more troublesome than it had imagined, and it chased her for almost a quarter of an hour.

Roar!
The human-faced spider roared, its eight legs moving rapidly across the web as it swooped down, bringing a stench with it.

A foul stench assaulted his nostrils, and Gu Yue frowned, suppressing the urge to vomit, his finger already pressed against the distress signal.

Just as she was about to press down hard, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

She paused, and subconsciously looked up.

A crimson meteor streaked across the sky, falling from the heavens with unparalleled power.

It wasn't until the meteor drew near that Gu Yue could see its appearance clearly; it was a blood-red giant halberd that was over ten meters long.

boom!
A crimson meteor crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust that instantly engulfed the ancient moon.

"Cough, cough..."

Gu Yue covered her mouth and nose and coughed lightly twice. Before her vision could return, she suddenly felt a warm and broad hand wrap around her waist.

The next moment, she was pulled into a firm embrace.

"It's me! Don't move!"

Gu Yue frowned, and just as she was about to break free, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Gu Yue's movements faltered, and she ultimately stopped struggling.

A blood-red figure leaped out from the dust and smoke. Jiang Yi held Gu Yue tightly with one hand and landed steadily on the side of the tall Tanlang.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Yi looked down at Gu Yue in his arms and asked with concern.

He was just looking for a target in the vicinity when he accidentally discovered the commotion here.

Upon discovering it was Gu Yue, he broke away from the wolf pack and rushed over ahead of them.

"fine!"

Gu Yue shook her head, her delicate body twisting slightly as she tried to break free from his embrace, but found that his arms did not loosen at all.

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She looked up and gazed at Jiang Yi with a cool expression, only to find him staring intently ahead with a slight frown.

The dust and smoke ahead had dissipated, leaving only the blood-red giant halberd standing in place, with dark blue-black poisonous blood slowly dripping from its blade, while the human-faced spider had long since vanished.

"You're fast!"

Jiang Yi snorted lightly, raised his hand, and the Fangtian Halberd flew back into his hand.

"Can you let me go?"

Gu Yue looked directly at Jiang Yi and reminded him, word by word.

The person didn't seem to intend to let go.

Although she had a special feeling for Jiang Yi, Gu Yue still felt awkward being held like this.

“It’s too dangerous now. Your soul power is almost exhausted. I have to protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi spoke righteously, tightening his grip on her waist even further.

This shameless attitude made Gu Yue both ashamed and angry.

"you!"

Gu Yue bit her red lips, her eyes looking like she wanted to devour Jiang Yi; she was taking advantage of his vulnerability.

Now, weakened, she doesn't even have the strength to break free.

Just as Gu Yue was feeling embarrassed and angry, the ground suddenly trembled, and soon, hundreds of Gale Wolves appeared around the two of them.

"not good!"

Gu Yue, seeing the wolf pack that had appeared, disregarded Jiang Yi's mischief and was startled. There were over a hundred Gale Wolves, many of them over a hundred years old.

"Just in time!"

Jiang Yi looked at the approaching pack of wolves and burst into laughter.

Then, under Gu Yue's puzzled gaze, Jiang Yi pinched her cheek and laughed.

"Don't move! I'll take you to get revenge!"

After saying that, he rode the Greedy Wolf to the spot where the Demon Spider had dripped blood, sniffed for a moment, and then followed the scent into the dense forest.

As if receiving a silent command, the wolves surged forward and followed closely behind the two.

"How is this going?"

Gu Yue lay quietly in Jiang Yi's arms, and asked blankly.

Looking at the orderly pack of wolves around her, a strange feeling welled up inside her, and she completely forgot that she was still in Jiang Yi's arms.

"They're my underlings, isn't that obvious?"

As Jiang Yi controlled the Greedy Wolf to speed away, he looked down at Gu Yue and smiled.

The girl's expression, half puzzled and half confused, was incredibly endearing; such a cute and innocent Gu Yue is a rare sight.

He couldn't resist reaching out and pinching the girl's cheek; the delicate, silky feel of it was captivating.

"But...why..."

Gu Yue ignored Jiang Yi's outrageous behavior and instead looked at the surrounding pack of Swiftwind wolves with a complicated expression.

"They're soul beasts! How could you..."

Gu Yue bit her red lips, suddenly raised her head, and looked into Jiang Yi's eyes, trying to find something in them.

Humans and spirit beasts are sworn enemies!
"So what if they're spirit beasts? They're my partners now!"

Jiang Yi looked calmly at Gu Yue, and the wolf beneath him seemed to sense his feelings, letting out a long howl.

Ouch!

As the wolf roared, the surrounding wolves also howled, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Jiang Yi in the center.

If they were initially intimidated by the wolves' majesty, now that Jiang Yi has led them to defeat the powerful lion pride, the wolves are completely convinced of their superiority.

At this moment, Gu Yue fell silent.

She looked at the boy in front of her, and then at the soul beasts that seemed to understand him. Her long-held belief seemed to be crumbling little by little.

"Have you gone mad from reading too much? Soul beasts aren't demons; you don't have to kill them to be done with it."

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

He wasn't a native of Douluo Continent, so he had no empathy for the deep-seated hatred between humans and soul beasts.

It doesn't matter if a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.

Moreover, in recent years, the Federation's view of soul beasts has changed from the vicious and ruthless depicted in textbooks to a special resource.

"Besides, isn't a spirit a special form of a spirit beast?"

Jiang Yi looked at the girl in his arms and felt the stiffness in her delicate body, so he tightened his arms around her.

Gu Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent, seemingly lost in deep thought.

"Speaking of which, whether from the perspective of long-term interests or humanitarian concern, the Federation should re-examine our relationship with soul beasts..."

Jiang Yi sighed softly as he looked at Gu Yue.

As the only being on the Douluo Continent who transcends Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan, Gu Yue is someone Jiang Yi naturally wants to bring into his camp.

Moreover, what he said wasn't all nonsense. In his previous life, he lived in the country with the best ecological governance in the world, where the concept of nature conservation was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Ecological balance is a very important part of nature. Putting aside everything else, in Tang San's era, just breaking through to the Title Douluo level was enough to live for two hundred years longer.

Now, the planet's life energy is rapidly decreasing, and even quasi-gods only have a lifespan of three hundred years.

"..."

Gu Yue looked at Jiang Yi, who was speaking eloquently, and felt a little confused. This was the first time she had heard such a viewpoint.

But... in this era, is it still possible for humans and spirit beasts to coexist peacefully?
All that came to Gu Yue's mind was the endless rage and hatred in Di Tian and the others' eyes when they mentioned humanity.
