Seeing Zhuqing being chased and cursed as a thief by the angry Xiao Wu and Orchid, Wu Lan, Lingling, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji stood to the side and laughed at their antics.
After playing around for a while, Wu Lan called out to them.
"Okay, okay, stop your fights."
Hearing Wu Lan's words, Xiao Wu and Orchid stopped chasing Zhuqing.
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu snorted, folding her arms with a magnanimous expression. "Since my brother has spoken, I'll generously let you off this time for your shameless actions."
For once, Orchid nodded in rare agreement.
Zhuqing rolled her eyes at their words.
Wu Lan shook his head, amused, then said calmly, "I'm going out for a bit. You guys shouldn't wander around the capital frequently."
Xiao Wu instantly became alert. Her brother radar sensed another thief.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the Star Dou Forest."
"I'm going with you," Xiao Wu declared, placing her hands on her hips.
"No, stay here and eat carrots, dumb rabbit. We don't need a third wheel on our date," Orchid scolded before Wu Lan could reply.
"You dumb weed, how dare you covet my brother? Die!" With that, the angry Xiao Wu launched a high kick toward Orchid, who floated in the air.
"Hehehehe, stupid rabbit, you cannot hit me." Orchid darted behind Wu Lan and mocked Xiao Wu.
"If you have guts, come out and talk, you stupid weed!" Missing her target, Xiao Wu became even angrier.
"Okay, okay, rabbit, calm down." Wu Lan stopped their fight.
"Rabbit, I am using space law to travel, so I will be back in one or two days. I'll return before you even know it. After I come back, I'll take you out to play." Wu Lan began to coax her. If he brought her along, Gu Yuena would become even more resentful.
"Okay." Under Wu Lan's coaxing, Xiao Wu finally relented.
Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu with jealousy but suppressed her desire to throw a tantrum. Instead, she sensibly told Wu Lan to be careful, which made him feel warm. He thought to himself that she was sensible. One Xiao Wu was already enough, if Zhuqing joined in, he didn't know how long it would take to coax them both.
"Lingling, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, you also stay here and learn the Xuan Tian Records from Xiao Wu and Zhuqing."
"Okay, we will not disappoint you." Lingling, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji nodded.
"Bi Ji, Zi Ji, until I return, they are under your protection."
"My Lord, we will protect them with our lives," Bi Ji and Zi Ji vowed.
With that, Wu Lan used space law and disappeared toward the Star Dou Forest.
In the center of the Star Dou Forest, near the lake, Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu's brothers, were chatting.
"Brother, I miss Sister Xiao Wu. It's been a long time since she visited. Is she okay?" Er Ming became worried.
"Er Ming, don't worry. She is protected by Bi Ji and Zi Ji. Nothing will happen to her," Da Ming reassured his little brother.
Er Ming was about to speak, but suddenly sensed someone appear in front of them.
Da Ming, being close to the dragon bloodline, felt a tremendous pressure from the depths of his soul to kneel and submit.
Both became alert and instinctively released their auras fully to deal with the intruder.
CRACK...
"Da Ming, Er Ming, after not seeing each other for a while, is this how you treat a friend?" Wu Lan, under their aura, felt as if he were carrying a huge mountain. However, due to the passive attribute increases from his massive red soul rings, the pressure was still bearable range.
Hearing the familiar voice, both turned toward the source.
"Lord Wu Lan!"
They immediately dispersed their auras and bowed in fear.
"My Lord, we are sorry for the offense. We did not know it was you, or else we would not dare to release our pressure."
"Da Ming, Er Ming, get up. Don't worry about it. I am not angry. It was I who suddenly appeared and startled you. I should apologize to you." Seeing them like this, Wu Lan felt guilty for startling them.
"My Lord, we don't dare." Hearing those words, Da Ming and Er Ming became worried for their little lives.
After Wu Lan and Xiao Wu had left previously, one of the Great Savage Beasts, the Bear Lord, the Darkgold Terror Claw Bear, had come to bully no no its to 'train' them personally for a while.
During 'training', they learned that Wu Lan held equal status with their lord, the Silver Dragon King. If even the slightest harm came to Wu Lan, their lord, the Silver Dragon King, would personally make a move.
"Okay, okay, relax." Seeing them so tense, Wu Lan changed the topic to Xiao Wu, telling them about her antics in the human city.
After they talked for a while, a portal appeared in front of them, and Di Tian stepped out.
As soon as he arrived near Wu Lan, Di Tian felt a strong bloodline suppression from Wu Lan, even stronger than that of Gu Yuena.
"My Lord." Di Tian bowed and greeted him with excitement, believing their revival was one step closer.
Seeing this, Wu Lan understood that Gu Yuena had sensed him, grown impatient, and sent Di Tian to fetch him.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I will talk with you later." With that, he left with Di Tian.
Da Ming and Er Ming watched the disappearing figures and sighed.
"Lord Wu Lan has grown stronger."
"Yes, Brother. With Lord Wu Lan, Sister Xiao Wu will be safe."
Meanwhile, Wu Lan entered the portal leading to Gu Yuena's location.
"Hmph, you finally remembered me." Before he could fully enter the portal, a sour voice filled with resentment rang out.
Wu Lan sighed and began another round of coaxing.
