Zhuqing (MS) looked at her younger self tenderly, hearing her words. While Hanrui smiled at the duo.
"There is no need for that, but thank you Xiao Zhuqing." She replied.
'I want a body to spend time with Rui-ge, what could I do with your barely developed little body which didn't even reach 4 feet yet, you silly girl.
It's actually a blessing that I can read your thoughts but you can't read mine, if I don't allow it. Or else I would feel guilty for corrupting you.' She thought, making her ears turn red with embarrassment.
She gave one more silent look to Hanrui before quickly dispersing herself, and going back to the Marital Soul space to escape and calm down the inappropriate thoughts that were running wild in her head.
"Well, we should go home I guess." Hanrui said but felt like he forgot something.
Zhuqing nodded and placed the Soul Beast's body in the Storage Soul Guide given to her by Hanrui.
Just as they were about to leave, Hanrui noticed a commotion in the distance and looked over.
In the distance a Wolf pack is hindering a 7 meter long Snake from moving forward.
'Huh? Where did that wolf pack get the courage to confront a 700 year Cultivation Datura Snake?
No Wait, those wolves look battered, so they were definitely in a fight before confronting the Datura Snake.
So what actually happened for a 10 year Cultivation Soul beast like them to confront a 700 year Cultivation Soul Beast?' Hanrui thought confused.
Deciding to investigate, he closed his eyes and opened Kagura's Mind Eye.
Instantly he sensed everything within 3 thousand meters.
First he checked and noted the Soul Power signatures of the Datura Snake and the wolf pack.
Then he noticed the life force of one of the wolves drained unnaturally while some wolves were dead, showing signs of poisoning.
Focusing on the direction the Datura Snake was trying to go, he found a similar signature to Datura Snake with what seems to be two familiar Soul Power signatures.
A smile lit his face as he figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing.
'So, this is what happened, the 300 year Cultivation Datura Snake, provoked by Worm Glazed Rat, chased it.
Meanwhile the wolves who were most likely beaten back by the Oscar winning Teacher and Student got in its way.
One of the wolves unknowingly bit into the Worm Glazed Rat and swallowed half its body along with the parasitic worm.
Enraged at its prey being eaten by another Soul Beast, it chased after it and killed it while the wolf got some of its life force drained, the Datura Snake coiled around the wolf tightly and ripped a large chunk of its flesh and swallowed it.
The 700 year Cultivation Datura Snake might've sensed danger for its partner and came over to check on it, but got locked in place by the enraged wolves.
While the 300 year Cultivation Datura Snake escaped and wandered close to the "Human Soul Master" and approached them to take a bite.
But due to the worm fighting from the inside, its body froze after releasing poison mist.' He concluded while feeling speechless.
'Why does this plot feel absolutely ridiculous?
It feels like that doggy with 0 morals and 100% hypocrisy, the Asura God is definitely involved.
Now comes the question, to manipulate and create all this elaborate setup. He needs to see what's going on here, so he must know an anomaly like me and the older Zhuqing is present here.
So why did he not interfere?
Unless…
He is either stopped by someone, like the Destruction God, and his wife the Life Goddess or the System somehow masking us from his detection.
I believe it's the former, after all my System is customized to act as an assistant, not a protective nanny.
but I still can't understand why that guy and his wife will help me?' He thought, feeling confused.
'Maybe they are not helping me and aren't involved at all? I mean, they are God Kings and what Asura God is doing is abusing his power for personal gain.
If they stop him from going after me, they wouldn't stop at that, they will stop him from interfering with the Douluo plane itself.
So it's most likely that Asura God is waiting for Tang San to start absorbing the Soul Ring so he can concentrate all his attention on me?' He thought, feeling it made more sense than the previous conclusion.
As he was thinking he discreetly summoned the Life Saver Card into his hand and waited.
Just as he did that Tang san killed the Datura Snake and started absorbing his first Soul Ring.
The 700 year Datura Snake sensing its companion's death flew into rage but got stopped by an invisible force, freezing it in place as a "Sigh" was heard.
"Its really getting troublesome to deal with this mess, how and when did things started to change so drastically? Even with my personal intervention, I sense an anomaly building up."
A voice laced with long standing Authority and Power wondered aloud, but no soul beast or human heard it, as if Frozen in time, except Hanrui, who could still move.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogong, who were oblivious of what was happening around them, doing their own thing.
One absorbing the Soul Ring the other protecting him.
After checking up on Tang San, the voice turned its attention and addressed Hanrui.
"And you, the anomaly, how much fault do you share in messing up with my Divine Throne's inheritor?" The voice asked as a shadow of the Asura God materialized in front of Hanrui.
