Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 291 Coexistence of Humans and Beasts

Before Tang Nian's eyes suddenly appeared a huge and mighty phantom bear.

That's right, it's the same one she saw when she first met Qian Shiye in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking back, the Phantom Bear tragically perished after that fierce battle, and its cubs were taken away by Chishiya.

Time flies, and if Tang Nian hadn't seen the phantom bear again today, she probably would have forgotten this past event long ago.

The phantom bear was entirely black, but in stark contrast were its four thick, powerful yellow limbs.

Its large, jet-black eyes were fixed on Tang Nian, its round pupils revealing endless curiosity.

At this moment, it tilted its head slightly, seemingly full of curiosity about the unfamiliar human in front of it, but surprisingly, it did not show any wariness that one should have towards humans.

Tang Nian couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. The relationship between soul beasts and humans has always been tense and delicate, like fire and water. So why is this phantom giant bear acting so strangely?

Just as she was lost in thought, Qian Shiye gently raised his hand and softly called out, "Xiaobai, come over here quickly."

Upon hearing this title, Tang Nian's eyes widened instantly, feeling as if her entire worldview was about to be shattered.

It's worth noting that this phantom bear is almost entirely black except for its limbs, making it hard to associate it with the word "white."

Moreover, would it really obey if it were just called out so simply? Tang Nian had serious doubts about this.

However, in the next instant, something happened that Tang Nian never expected...

The enormous phantom bear charged straight toward Qian Shiye at incredible speed, its massive body creating a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, the phantom bear was right in front of Qian Shiye.

Then, unexpectedly, it opened its blood-red maw, and just as Tang Nianxin trembled, the phantom giant bear stretched out its long tongue and gently licked Qian Shiye's cheek.

Despite such intimate gestures, Qian Shiye remained calm and composed, showing no discomfort or awkwardness whatsoever.

He looked at the phantom giant bear in front of him with a faint smile, as if he was already used to such scenes.

Judging from their tacit interaction, it seems that Phantom Bear and Chishino often engage in such intimate behavior.

At this moment, Qian Shiye raised his hand, extended his slender index finger, and pointed slightly at Tang Nian, who was standing not far away.

Upon receiving the instructions, the phantom bear turned around without hesitation and strode toward Tang Nian. With each step it took, the ground trembled slightly, demonstrating its immense power.

Tang Nian stared at the phantom giant bear gradually approaching her, and was instantly stunned.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the enormous creature approached her and extended a large, hairy hand.

Under Qian Shiye's encouraging gaze, Tang Nian hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to extend her slender hand and carefully touch the Phantom Giant Bear's large, thick palm.

The moment their hands touched, a strange and unfamiliar feeling welled up inside them.

After the phantom bear grasped Tang Nian's hand, it shook it up and down, clearly a friendly gesture.

However, even though the handshake had been completed, Tang Nian was still in a dazed and confused state.

After all, for her, being able to shake hands and communicate with a legendary soul beast was simply too unbelievable.

Seeing what was happening before him, Qian Shiye's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. He nodded gently and said softly, "Xiaobai, go play by yourself for now."

As the words fell, Xiaobai obediently turned around and slowly walked away.

Strangely, although Xiaobai's body had begun to move, its gaze remained fixed on Tang Nian, filled with deep reluctance, as if it had a thousand words to say.

Tang Nian keenly noticed Xiao Bai's strange gaze, and a sense of doubt welled up in her heart.

She felt that this look was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but no matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn't recall when or where she had experienced such a scene.

Filled with curiosity, she turned to look at Qian Shiye beside her and asked, "Shiye, how do you manage to make Xiaobai so obedient and docile?"

Upon hearing Tang Nian's question, Qian Shiye paused for a moment before slowly opening his mouth and softly replying, "Actually, compared to us humans, soul beasts are much simpler in their thoughts."

"In the inner world of these soul beasts, if they believe you are a good person, they will never intentionally hurt you. Ever since I brought Xiaobai back here, I have been personally taking care of its daily life. Over time, it has naturally come to regard me as its closest family member."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After listening to Qian Shiye's explanation, Tang Nian nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she could roughly understand the reasoning behind it.

But then she raised a new question, "But I've never met Xiaobai before, so why is it being so affectionate and friendly towards me? Is it this enthusiastic towards every stranger?"

Faced with Tang Nian's barrage of questions, Qian Shiye gently shook his head and denied it, saying, "That's not the case. You should know that Xiaobai is a member of the Phantom Giant Bear clan. Even after a long period of domestication, the wildness inherent in its bones still exists."

"For most ordinary people, it's impossible to even get close to it, let alone gain its favor and affection like you have. The reason it shows you such a special attitude is simple—in its eyes, you are also its family, so how could it possibly harm you?"

Tang Nian turned to look at Qian Shiye with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

"And this is what I've always wanted to do: for humans and spirit beasts to coexist peacefully."

Tang Nian sighed, "This is impossible. Soul Masters need Soul Rings. Without Soul Rings, they cannot break through. Therefore, hunting Soul Beasts is something a Soul Master must do in their lifetime."

Qian Shiye nodded. "Niannian, I don't deny that what you said makes sense, but I believe there must be a solution."

Tang Nian nodded slightly, not wanting to dampen Qian Shiye's enthusiasm any further, but in truth, she didn't have a high opinion of Shiye.

But imagining a Douluo Continent where humans and spirit beasts can coexist peacefully doesn't seem so bad.
