Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

"Well... okay then. I'll listen to Mom and my sister."

Qiu Hougong nodded in agreement. He knew that Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were sincere towards him, so in his heart, Qiu Hougong also vowed to treat them even better in the future and strive to make them happy every day.

"good……"

Bibi Dong affectionately patted Qiu Hougong's head, gave Hu Liena a look that said "I'm sorry to have wronged you," and then looked coldly at Xiao Wu, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, and said indifferently: "I will give you two choices: come with me, or die here together. You only have ten seconds."

"no need……"

Xiao Wu stood up, her expression no longer showing any abnormality. "I'll go with you, but please release Xiao Yun. She's innocent."

"scare……"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Wind-Treading Horse, which had already stood up, became unwilling. Although it didn't know where Qiu Hougong and the others came from, it was very clear about the attitude of humans towards soul beasts. If Xiao Wu were to go with them, she would surely die.

"Xiaoyun, be quiet!"

Seeing the Wind-Treading Horse in such a state, Xiao Wu, feeling anxious, quickly stretched out her arms and hugged its mouth. Then, she gently stroked its neck and whispered something in the language of spirit beasts.

Listening to Xiao Wu's words, Ta Feng Ma's emotions gradually calmed down, but he couldn't hide the reluctance in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. Take care."

Xiao Wu gently patted the neck of the Wind-Treading Horse to comfort it. Although she didn't know what would happen next, based on the information she had received in the past, this should be the last time she met the Wind-Treading Horse and the last time she would see the forest where she had always lived.

After comforting her for a while, Xiao Wu turned around and, suppressing her heartache, said to Bibi Dong, "Please promise me."

"Approved."

Bibi Dong said calmly, and then Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo suddenly appeared on either side of Xiao Wu, watching her quietly.

In fact, Bibi Dong could have refused Xiao Wu's request, since she held an absolute advantage. The reason she agreed was simply because she suddenly recalled an incident from six years ago and wanted to see if she could replicate it with Qiu Hou Gong so that he could gain the greatest benefit.

As for whether releasing the Wind-Treading Horse would cause trouble, Bibi Dong wasn't worried at all. Not only was this place far from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, but they would be able to get out soon. Even if the beast did attract one or two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts to rescue Xiao Wu, she was absolutely confident she could keep them all within the forest.

"Are they also Title Douluos? It's a good thing I told Xiaoyun not to tell Da Ming and Er Ming, otherwise..."

Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Xiao Wu, who roughly guessed their strength, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she looked at the Wind-Riding Horse behind her and said, "Xiao Yun, you should go quickly."

"scare……"

After taking two deep breaths, Tafengma stared intently at Bibi Dong for a few seconds before taking heavy steps and galloping into the depths of the forest, under Xiaowu's urging-it-to-hurry-go gaze.

"Walk."

Bibi Dong pulled Xiao Wu to her side from a distance, gave an order to Chrysanthemum Douluo, and then turned and led Qiu Hougong and the other two away into the distance...

Ten days later, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace.

Seated on the papal chair, Bibi Dong carefully reviewed the documents that had accumulated over the past period.

"Mother……"

Qiu Hougong's voice came from the side hall. Bibi Dong looked up and saw Qiu Hougong running quickly to her side and then throwing himself into her arms. "We just got back and you're already working in the main hall. Can't you rest for a bit first?"

"It's okay, this level of exertion won't tire Mom out at all. Qiuqiu, don't worry."

Bibi Dong gently patted Qiu Hougong's back and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.

Based on their travel speed, they could have returned to Wuhun City seven days ago. The reason they were so many days late was because Bibi Dong wanted to try to attract a few 100,000-year-old soul beasts with Xiao Wu's help, but unfortunately, the result was not as she wished.

"That won't do either. Come on, come back to the room with me."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he took Bibi Dong's hand and started walking towards the palace.

"Okay, okay, okay. Mom will do as you say."

Seeing this, Bibi Dong smiled and nodded, then got up and picked up Qiu Hougong in her arms, walking towards the palace.

Back in their palace, the two first played around on the bed for a while, and then Bibi Dong gently held Qiu Hou Gong's hand and said softly, "Qiu Qiu, Mom has a task for you."

"Ah, a mission? What kind of mission is it?"

Qiu Hougong asked, having already guessed what Bibi Dong was planning based on her previous actions of letting Tafengma go, but he could only remain silent to avoid arousing Bibi Dong's suspicion.

"It's that one called..."

Bibi Dong paused, then realized she hadn't asked Xiao Wu's name, but that didn't matter to her. "That 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, Mom wants you to do this... Do you understand?"

"I understand, but isn't it a bit wrong to deceive her like this?"

Qiu Hougong said, feigning innocence.

"She's just a 100,000-year-old soul beast, our enemy. Qiuqiu, do you remember what Mommy said before?"

"When dealing with enemies, one must be ruthless and decisive, using every means possible, and never be soft-hearted."

Qiu Hougong replied.

"Qiuqiu is so great..."

Bibi Dong patted Qiu Hougong's head with satisfaction, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you can't finish it, you can't finish it. Mom won't blame you."

"Yes, I understand, Mom..."

Qiu Hougong rubbed the soft hand on his head, and then continued, "Mom, I've discovered another special feature of the superpower lock."

"Oh? What is it? Tell Mom quietly..."

Bibi Dong looked puzzled, then leaned closer to Qiu Hougong's mouth.

A dozen seconds later, Bibi Dong suddenly sat up straight, her beautiful face filled with disbelief. "Qiuqiu, are you telling the truth? You're not teasing Mommy?"

"Mom doesn't believe me? Humph!"

Qiu Hougong puffed out his cheeks and turned away, pretending to be angry.

"Oh dear, Mommy was just scared by what Qiuqiu said. How could Mommy not believe you..."

Bibi Dong reached out and turned Qiu Hougong around, then gently hugged him in her arms. "Let's go to the training room. How about Qiu Hougong shows Mommy a good demonstration?"

"it is good."

Qiu Hougong nodded, and then, in Bibi Dong's warm embrace, she carried him towards the cultivation room...

After more than ten minutes, Bibi Dong, who was completely stunned by Qiu Hougong's performance, first asked Qiu Hougong to leave, and then began to re-plan the training program for Qiu Hougong.

Meanwhile, Qiu Hougong, after leaving the cultivation room, first chatted with Hu Liena and played around for a while. Then he walked alone towards the direction where Xiao Wu lived.

"Your subordinate, Gui Wu, greets the young master."

"Your subordinate, Shadow Five, greets Young Master."

At the corner of the corridor, two tall, slender men, completely covered in black, suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Hougong and spoke respectfully.

They were members of the Ghost Shadow Squad, under the command of Ghost Douluo. Their presence here was naturally due to orders to monitor and protect Xiao Wu.

"You've worked hard. Has anything happened inside?"

Qiu Hougong inquired.

"Young Master, the target has stayed in the room and has not made any moves or reacted excessively except for not eating."

Gui Wu answered.

"Okay, you may all leave. I'll go in and take a look."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he lifted his leg to walk around them and head forward.

"Young Master, it might be dangerous for you to go alone. Let us accompany you."

Shadow Five spoke, but made no move to stop them.

"No need, she's just a Soul Master without Soul Rings, while I'm already a Great Soul Master, and I also have the secret weapon my mother gave me, so nothing will happen."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he showed no sign of stopping.

"Respectfully seeing off the young master." x2

Seeing Qiu Hou Gong's reaction, Gui Wu and Ying Wu, knowing they couldn't stop him, could only bow in Qiu Hou Gong's direction. Ying Wu stayed behind to protect Qiu Hou Gong, while Gui Wu went to report the situation to Gui Douluo.

"The developments over this period have really been somewhat beyond my expectations, but fortunately Dong'er didn't go too far, otherwise things would have been too difficult."

As Qiu Hougong slowly walked to Xiao Wu's door, he kept calculating in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving because of his thoughts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A crisp knock sounded on the door, and Qiu Hougong said through the door to the room, "Are you sleeping? If you're not, I'm coming in."

After waiting for three seconds and seeing no response, Qiu Hougong directly raised his hand and opened the door, while concentrating on being on guard against any possible attacks.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Qiu Hougong saw a bright room and a pink figure curled up on the bed.

"My name is Qiu Hougong. Can you tell me your name?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu showed no aggression, Qiu Hougong relaxed slightly, walked to a chair, sat down, and then looked at Xiao Wu and said.

"..."

Xiao Wu kept her head down and didn't say anything, remaining quietly huddled there without moving.

Ever since arriving in Spirit City and being scrutinized by the gazes of several Title Douluos, Xiao Wu had completely given up on the idea of ​​escaping. However, despite this, her unwillingness to give up fueled her desire to save herself.

During her time in captivity, Xiao Wu gradually deduced through observation and analysis that the reason Bibi Dong had captured her but not killed her was because of the handsome boy named Qiu Hou Gong in front of her.

"She still hasn't gained any emotion points. Is her emotion really that stable?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu did not speak, Qiu Hougong felt a sense of doubt.

Regarding the system notification sounds, Qiu Hougong had already ordered the system to mute all the emotionally insensitive notification sounds from acquaintances and ordinary people in Wuhun City, as they were simply too noisy and his head might explode if they were left on all the time.

However, he didn't turn off Xiao Wu's notification sound. But from the very beginning of their encounter until now, Xiao Wu only had one emotional response when she was initially amazed by his appearance. She hasn't had any since.

Would you like some water?

Picking up the water glass, Qiu Hougong, who had temporarily suppressed his doubts, slowly placed the glass in a position where Xiaowu could reach it and said.

“I…I am called Xiao Wu, the Wu as in dancing.”

When the water glass was presented to her, Xiao Wu pretended to be extremely thirsty and swallowed. After several attempts to 'test' Qiu Hougong and finding that he meant no harm, she reached out and took the water glass, replying.

"No wonder she was so calm; she was trying to trick me."

Seeing Xiao Wu's rather realistic acting skills, Qiu Hougong, who already knew what she wanted to do, smiled inwardly, then said innocently, "Xiao Wu? Hmm, I'll remember. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

"Protect me? That woman is quite good at teaching."

Hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Xiao Wu sneered inwardly, then asked in confusion, "Why? You know I'm a soul beast."

"Because you are very beautiful, and I don't really agree with my mother's ideas. Why can't humans and spirit beasts live in peace?"

Qiu Hougong said, his youthful face filled with sincerity.

"Humans and spirit beasts living in peace? She actually taught you such childish things? Does she really think I'm easy to fool?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes inwardly, but put on a shy expression, as if she really appreciated Qiu Hougong's praise. "You, is that really what you think?"

"Of course, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you..."

Qiu Hougong continued speaking, and the two gradually became 'familiar' because of Qiu Hougong's words.

"Oh no, this is terrible..."

Two hours later, Qiu Hougong glanced at the sun outside the window and exclaimed in surprise. He then quickly stood up from his chair, "Training time is almost up, I have to go now."

"Ah...when can you come to see me again?"

Seeing that Qiu Hougong was about to leave, Xiaowu said with some 'reluctance'.

"Don't be sad, I promise I'll come and talk to you whenever I have time."

Qiu Hougong patted his chest and answered.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

As Xiao Wu spoke, she watched Qiu Hougong walk towards the door.

Squeak, thud.

As the door opened and closed once more, Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with 'reluctance,' returned to the corner of the bed and curled up.

Once she had completely covered her face with her legs, the reluctance that had been on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a triumphant smile.

"Hmph, kids will be kids, they're so easy to fool."

Xiao Wu thought to herself, and her shoulders, which had been trembling slightly with excitement, began to tremble with fear as she tried to fake it.

However, just when Xiao Wu thought she had gained Qiu Hou Gong's initial trust, Qiu Hou Gong was also looking at something that only he could see on his way back to the Papal Palace.

"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Since you're so eager to play along with me, let's have some fun..."

Seeing the favorability rating still displayed as 'zero', Qiu Hougong's lips curled slightly as he asked the system to move Xiao Wu's character panel away from his sight. Then, he walked briskly forward...
