Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Ice and Snow Maiden, Calls Snow Empress "Mom"

Chapter 63 Xiao Wu also knelt down; Tang San has met his match.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and made up her mind!

"thump!"

A sound even louder than Tang San's kneeling followed!

Xiao Wu not only knelt down, but she knelt down even more thoroughly and ruthlessly than Tang San!

She slid in and landed almost right next to Xue Bingchen's feet.

Then, she stretched out her two delicate white hands and hugged Xue Bingchen's legs in an extremely fawning manner. She raised her exquisitely beautiful face and said in a sickeningly sweet voice that made people's skin crawl, "Oh dear~ Daddy~ You must be tired after standing for so long, right? Oh! Look, your shoes are covered in dust!"

""

As she spoke, Xiao Wu actually took out a clean handkerchief from her bosom and began to wipe the dust off Xue Bingchen's shoes with utmost seriousness and flattery.

While wiping, she used her big, watery eyes to charm everyone: "Daddy~ Did Xiaowu wipe you clean enough? Next time you have that delicious whale glue, can you save a piece for Xiaowu too?"

"Holy crap?!"

Tang San, who was kneeling to the side, was completely stunned by what he saw!

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

He stared in disbelief at Xiao Wu, who was polishing her master's shoes, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Is this...is this still the hot-tempered junior nun I know, the one who's always ready to fight?!"

Tang San screamed inwardly, "How did she suddenly become so—so obsequious?! This is downright shameless flattery! What you'd call a—lapdog?!"

Tang San took a deep breath and looked Xiao Wu up and down again, a hint of seriousness unexpectedly rising in his eyes.

"Looks like I've met my match!"

Tang San secretly thought to himself, "This junior aunt is actually going to such lengths to compete for Master's favor and resources! I, Tang San, absolutely cannot lose to her in terms of respecting my master!"

Looking at the two little guys at his feet, one on each side, curling up inwards in a frenzy, Xue Bingchen's lips twitched slightly.

"Alright, get up, everyone."

Xue Bingchen kicked his leg, somewhat speechless, and pushed Xiao Wu away, saying calmly, "Now that we've acquired all the soul rings, let's continue on our way."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly got up from the ground and patted the dirt off their knees.

The two thought that now that they had obtained Tang San's first spirit ring, they should return the way they came and leave the gloomy and terrifying Sunset Forest.

However, when they saw the direction Xue Bingchen turned and walked in, they were all stunned.

Because Xue Bingchen didn't head towards the edge of the forest, but instead led them deeper into the Sunset Forest.

Deeper into that darker, more dangerous area!

"Master————"

Tang San couldn't help but hurry to catch up, asking with a face full of doubt, "Aren't we going back to the academy? Or do we have to keep going further in?"

Tang San couldn't help but be nervous.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly oppressive.

The stench of blood and decay in the air grew stronger and stronger.

In just half an hour, Tang San had already keenly sensed several extremely terrifying auras passing by them!

Those auras were definitely not something that a hundred-year-old soul beast could emit!

It's at least a ferocious beast that's been around for thousands of years!

Even more—Tang San saw a series of huge footprints, each the size of a water vat, by a mud pit. Those were definitely the marks left by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

"Plop—"

Tang San swallowed hard; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

If it weren't for my master, an unfathomable Soul Emperor, clearing the way and intimidating the lurking beasts with his aura, we would have been able to succeed.

With him and Xiao Wu being only level 11 or 12 rookie soul masters, they would probably have been torn to pieces by those thousand-year or ten-thousand-year soul beasts long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment!

Hearing Tang San's question, Xue Bingchen didn't turn her head, but calmly asked in return, "Little San, have you forgotten that besides helping you hunt for your first spirit ring, we have another, more important purpose in coming to Sunset Forest?"

"A more important purpose?"

Tang San was startled upon hearing this.

His mind raced as he carefully recalled every word his master had ever said to him since he became his disciple.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he finally settled on two extremely shocking words!

"A magical herb?!"

Tang San gasped, his voice trembling with shock: "Master! You—you mean, deep within this perilous Sunset Forest, there really is a legendary immortal herb growing?!"

""

Seeing Tang San's shocked expression, Xue Bingchen smiled slightly and gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe yes, maybe no."

Such rare and precious materials, born of nature's own creation, are something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

But since we're here, we have to look carefully to find out.

Upon hearing his master's words, Tang San's heart raced instantly, and his eyes blazed with an intensely fervent light!

"A miraculous herb!"

Tang San shouted excitedly in his heart.

He was not afraid of the dangers ahead; on the contrary, he was filled with anticipation.

Because he knew that as long as their master was there, they would never be in any danger.

In Tang San's eyes, his master Xue Bingchen was definitely the strongest person he had ever seen since he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent!

none of them!

Whether it was his calm demeanor, remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, or his terrifying strength, capable of freezing everything with a wave of his hand, Tang San was deeply impressed.

"In comparison————"

Involuntarily, Tang San's mind drifted to his father, Tang Hao, a drunkard who spent all his time in the blacksmith's shop in Holy Soul Village, drunk and reeking of sour stench.

"well----"

Tang San sighed inwardly: "Although my father is also a blacksmith, very strong, and knows the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, he may be a master, but he is usually too sloppy and decadent."

He didn't exude even the slightest bit of the aura of a powerful figure; in terms of temperament, he couldn't even compare to one of his master's toes.

Putting aside his complaints about his biological father, Tang San's thoughts quickly returned to the "immortal herb".

"I wonder what those peerless herbs, known as 'immortal herbs,' look like on this Douluo Continent?"

Tang San's heart was filled with astonishment and curiosity: "Could they be the same immortal herbs I saw in the ancient books of the Tang Sect in my previous life? Could they be the legendary divine objects recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu in my mind?"

If that's really the case—

Tang San simply couldn't imagine how enormous that fortune would be!
