In front of Tang Hao, Ling Yuan brought Ye Xi and landed on a towering ancient tree, quietly watching Tang Hao walking over.
"Yo, isn't this Your Grace Clear Sky who dared to punch the Supreme Pontiff?"
"Why are you so disheveled now?"
Ye Xi sat on the branch of the ancient tree, her azure eyes showing playfulness.
Ling Yuan's figure flew down from mid-air, blocking Tang Hao's path, and without any hesitation, fought with Tang Hao.
The Sky Azure Bull Python, located in the rear, slowed down its pace after seeing what was happening in front. Its large eyes wandered over Ye Xi and Ling Yuan, and in the end, it did not choose to attack.
Ling Yuan, who was fighting Tang Hao, sent Tang Hao flying with just a few moves, causing him to fall heavily in front of the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The Sky Azure Bull Python looked at the Tang Hao in front of it, flicked its tail, and shot an energy ball, which bombarded Tang Hao's body, causing his body to explode and scatter, leaving only a few internal organs and Spirit Bones on the ground.
"Sky Azure Bull Python, we didn't mean to offend you. Can we take these few Spirit Bones?"
Ye Xi looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python and asked softly.
The Sky Azure Bull Python also looked at Ye Xi, meeting her gaze.
"You can."
A somewhat low voice came from the Sky Azure Bull Python's mouth.
"Sky Azure Bull Python, the condition we talked about last time, is it still valid now?"
While asking, Ye Xi signaled Ling Yuan with her eyes to collect the few Spirit Bones left behind by Tang Hao.
"Since I promised you last time, it is naturally still valid."
The Sky Azure Bull Python withdrew its gaze from Ye Xi, and its massive body changed direction, preparing to return to the Life Lake.
It didn't have any good feelings for humans now, even if they had provided them with information, it was the same.
Seeing the Sky Azure Bull Python preparing to leave, Ye Xi called out to it directly.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
"The human you killed is named Tang Hao. Behind him is a force called the Clear Sky Sect. Since you killed him now, the Clear Sky Sect behind him might come to trouble you."
Ye Xi's voice was not loud, but the Sky Azure Bull Python could hear it clearly.
"Come to trouble us?"
"Then let them come. I will wait for them in the Core Area."
The Sky Azure Bull Python sneered, not caring at all.
After the Sky Azure Bull Python left, Ling Yuan came to Ye Xi's side and handed all the Spirit Bones in her hand to Ye Xi.
"Young Miss, the six Spirit Bones left behind by Tang Hao are of very high age and quality."
Ling Yuan looked at the Spirit Bones in front of her, with no reluctance in her eyes.
"Are there no 100,000-year Spirit Bones?"
Ye Xi looked at the six Spirit Bones in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed.
"No."
Ling Yuan shook her head and answered very decisively.
Hearing this, Ye Xi didn't speak for a while, but silently recalled the plot from the original work.
After a while, Ye Xi put the Spirit Bones left behind by Tang Hao into her storage bracelet, having no intention of absorbing them for the time being.
"Let's go back first."
"When we go back, spread the news that Tang Hao has fallen in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Ye Xi jumped down from the ancient tree, took one last look at the direction where Tang Hao fell, and then walked towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Yuan followed silently by Ye Xi's side.
Their figures soon disappeared into the Star Dou Great Forest, as if they had never appeared.
Core Area.
Beside the emerald-green Life Lake, a middle-aged man with a dignified face, golden pupils, and a strand of golden hair in his long black hair, stood by the lake, quietly watching the Titan Giant Ape soaking its whole body in the lake.
Xiao Wu stood not far away, head bowed, saying nothing.
A breeze blew, moving the middle-aged man's hair, and an unspeakable dignity radiated from his pair of golden pupils.
"You're back."
A dignified voice came from the middle-aged man's mouth.
The Sky Azure Bull Python, who had just returned to the Life Lake, felt its eyes widen involuntarily when it heard the voice.
"My Lord."
The Sky Azure Bull Python lowered its head, looking very respectful.
"Tell me, what happened."
The middle-aged man did not turn around, his gaze still fixed on the Life Lake.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the Sky Azure Bull Python did not hesitate to recount the cause and effect of the matter, including what Ye Xi said about the Clear Sky Sect possibly coming to cause trouble.
During this process, the middle-aged man did not speak, just listened quietly.
After the Sky Azure Bull Python finished telling the story, the middle-aged man's gaze turned to Xiao Wu who was standing on the side.
"Little rabbit, in the future, if there is nothing, you should run outside less."
"You two remember to guard the gate well."
When the middle-aged man spoke, his gaze swept over the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape without a trace, then changed the subject: "As for the humans who might come to cause trouble, I will take action to deal with them when necessary."
After the words fell, the middle-aged man turned into a black shadow and disappeared from the spot.
After the middle-aged man left, the Sky Azure Bull Python raised its head and walked towards the Life Lake.
"Big Sister Xiao Wu, your identity in the human World has been exposed. You should stay in the Star Dou Great Forest from now on."
"Even if you really yearn for the human World, it won't be too late to go when you have truly transformed into a human."
The Sky Azure Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu, its eyes full of gentleness.
"Hmm..."
"Da Ming, is it really like what you said just now?"
Xiao Wu slowly raised her head, looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python, and asked.
"Big Sister Xiao Wu, I wasn't sure at first, so I asked Er Ming to test it out."
"Didn't you see the result?"
"There really was a Titled Douluo following you in secret."
The Sky Azure Bull Python's voice was very gentle, answering Xiao Wu's question earnestly.
"I see."
After Xiao Wu said this, she came to the side of the Life Lake and sat down, staring quietly at the Life Lake in front of her, while the scene of Tang San calling Tang Hao father kept appearing in her mind.
"Why didn't you tell me your father was a Titled Douluo?"
"Do you really have ulterior motives towards me?"
Xiao Wu thought secretly in her heart, her eyes very complicated.
Watching Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python didn't speak again, but submerged its body completely into the Life Lake to recover from its injuries.
The Titan Giant Ape was also surprisingly quiet at this time, not making a sound, just quietly watching Xiao Wu by the lake.
A breeze blew, stirring the surface of the Life Lake, causing ripples on the calm water.
The breeze blew the treetops, and the rustling sound echoed all around.
But Xiao Wu just sat quietly by the Life Lake, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking about.
