Chapter 163 The setting sun warms my cheeks (Part 2)



The branches in the forest are lush, and the green vines climb into the elegant palace, not forgetting to circle around. The layout of the palace is different from that of humans. It is less delicate and more elegant, making people feel comfortable. In the palace, there are three women, one old and two young. The middle-aged one is the leader of the Lanze Spirit Bird. The two young women have white teeth and red lips, wearing white and red long skirts, but one of them has a darker skirt and the other has a lighter skirt.

Chief Lan Ze looked grim because her little daughter insisted on signing a spiritual contract with humans. Even if she tried her best to persuade her, it was useless. Her little daughter, who was usually very gentle, was not willing to listen to her words.

Shaking his head, Chief Lan Ze's voice was slightly cold.

"Anyway, I don't agree. She has spoken herself, so why should you respond to this fate?"

The woman holding the hem of her skirt and with only ivy and white flowers on her head stood up. She had a slender figure and bright eyes.

"I must go."

"stop!"

When the clan leader spoke, the elder sister in a fiery red dress rushed out and blocked her sister. They were ten meters apart, tapping the newly emerged lotus flowers with their toes and looking at each other solemnly.

"Have you forgotten that after your father passed away, your mother raised you by feeding you with blood?"

"Sister, I really want to go. The Soul Stone is calling me."

She bit her red lips slightly, and a drop of deep red blood came out, which made her look wild and beautiful like an animal. But she was also pitiful, because she knew that her sister, who brought up her father, was angry!

"Of course you have to go, but it's just to save mother's face and give face to His Highness, instead of following an outsider! If you don't want to embarrass Spirit Bird, then listen to mother!"

The cold and intimidating voice made the younger sister, who had a white flower on her head and green vines tied in her hair, feel conflicted.

"Xiao Ran."

When the mother's kind voice came from behind, the younger sister in a light-colored skirt turned around, and her delicate face was a little nervous. If her mother didn't let her go, would she rush over, tell the human what she thought, and start signing the spiritual contract directly, or find another way? Either way, it would take great courage. She was not a person who would go against her mother and elder sister's wishes, but today, she might not listen for once.

"Go ahead if you want to."

Xiaoran was surprised by her mother's sudden change of mind. Is this... what's going on?

Stepping on the shallow water, the Lan Ze tribe leader's temples were already white, and her face was full of helplessness, making her look even older. She could not change, so she could only sigh, then walked to Xiao Ran and said with tears in her eyes:

"When you were born, our Lanze Spirit Bird clan had already been stable and out of danger. Your sister and I protected you in the palace and arranged everything for you. As a result, you developed a gentle temperament and didn't like to argue with others. But when I thought about it carefully just now, it seems that you have never made a decision on your own. This is the first time in all these years that you said I must do something. So, go ahead."

The no longer smooth fingers stroked Xiaoran's black hair. Her eyes were gentle, like a quiet spring.

"Mother……"

Xiaoran hugged her mother with tears in her eyes, feeling as if she had been wronged as a child and her heart could not calm down.

"I don't want to leave you, but the call of the Soul Stone is too strong. It has never been like this before."

Looking in the direction of Soul Creek, Chief Lan Ze let out a choked breath.

"Maybe...it really is fate."

This happened suddenly. Just two hours ago, no soul stone had stopped beside Shu Shuang. Now, her daughter was leaving with her. If the whole forest knew about this, I'm afraid it would take the face of His Highness and the Dragon Clan to suppress the noisy discussions!

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

"Mother, are you serious?"

The elder sister was surprised. When her mother nodded, she was very dissatisfied and shouted angrily:

"Isn't this a bargain for that human? And Your Highness, since he brought a human to the forest, he is a very kind dragon!"

"Don't be so presumptuous!"

The forest belongs to the dragons, and they have no choice but to submit. Otherwise, the dragon beasts will come and use only a few claws to make them lose all their feathers. Without shelter, they cannot survive!

"You stay in the palace, we will go by ourselves."

"Sister, I'm sorry"

"roll!"

The lake water exploded, Xiao Ran shrugged her shoulders in shock, her heart ached. But her sister was determined when she left, destined to be estranged from her. Xiao Ran and her sister had a good relationship, but now she chose humans and abandoned her...

The call of the spirit stone became stronger, forming a light red thread in the air, leading to the Soul Creek, as if urging Xiaoran to go over quickly.

Xiao Ran paused, not knowing what to choose. She was extremely anxious. But when her mother walked towards Soul Creek, she could only follow.

"They've waited too long. We have to hurry."

With a determined heart, Xiaoran walked side by side with her mother and quickly headed towards Soul Creek.

In the eyes of mothers all over the world, no matter how old a child is, they are still as worrying as when they are just learning to speak. Before she knew it, Xiao Ran had grown to be as tall as herself. In the eyes of the Lan Ze clan leader, Xiao Ran was slender and graceful, with a delicate profile and full of youthful vitality. Her good nature made her look indifferent and shy, like a flower standing in the marsh, unstained by the mud.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ran's voice was very soft, lacking the wildness of an animal, and sounded more like a human. Chief Lan Ze had a lot of things in his mind, but he swallowed them in his throat. In the end, he just said:

"Don't forget to come back and check back."

Tears welled up in Xiaoran's beautiful eyes, and her nod seemed particularly weak.

For wild beasts, spirit contracts are nightmares. Before today, Xiao Ran had never thought that such a thing would happen to her. After signing the spirit contract, humans are the main form of the spirit contract. Even if she still retains her sanity and has the possibility of breaking through to the eighth level, it is difficult for her to control humans and do what she wants.

Although the wild beasts with intelligence can unilaterally tear up the spiritual contract, it is a practice of killing 10,000 enemies and injuring 10,000 of their own. Who dares to take such a risk? If you are not careful, you will die.

Shaking her head slightly, Xiaoran felt that she was overthinking it. It shouldn't be that scary.

After crossing a bridge, when Xiao Ran saw Shu Shuang, they looked at each other and instantly felt a deep bond between them, as if they had experienced thousands of things together.

Holding the soul stone in both hands, Shu Shuang left the wooden chair where she had been sitting before and stood here, waiting for the spirit bird to come. Is the woman standing next to the clan leader the owner of this soul stone? She looks older than herself, only one or two years older, and more mature in appearance, but a little shy, as if she is worried about something.

“Something like that.”

When Xia Xiao looked at him, Tian Ming continued:

"She is a bit like Shu Shuang."

“Not even close.”

Although the woman in the long skirt has a slender figure, an oval face, delicate features, and some exotic style, her figure is better than Shu Shuang and more eye-catching. But in front of Xia Xiao, no matter how sexy and attractive a woman is, she can't compare with Shu Shuang. No matter who is compared with Shu Shuang, Shu Shuang is better looking!

It’s a pity that Shu Shuang is busy now, otherwise Xia Xiao would have said it out loud to make her happy.

Holding the Soul Stone, Shu Shuang couldn't help but move forward, and so did Xiao Ran. They had a feeling of meeting each other for old times and couldn't wait to sit down and chat.

Seeing the emotions in their eyes, the irritated Lan Ze clan leader felt inexplicably relieved, as if Xiao Ran would be right to follow Shu Shuang. But she didn't know where her confidence came from, after all, these people were strangers.

"My name is Shu Shuang."

"My name is Xiaoran."

They spoke almost in unison, and when they came together, although there was a huge height difference due to their race, their eyes were gentle.

Shu Shuang's eyes were clear, like the wonderland Xiao Ran had been looking for. In them, she felt calm, without the previous entanglement and irritability, only with anticipation, wanting to sign the spiritual contract. Before she met Shu Shuang, she was a little scared, but now she was sure that although leaving with Shu Shuang was a bit cruel to her family, it was definitely right.

"Master Patriarch."

Shu Shuang bowed to the clan leader, her voice full of apology. She wanted to give up the idea of ​​signing the spiritual contract, but when she saw Xiao Ran, she was more eager to sign the spiritual contract. This made her seem a little shameless, but she was willing to apologize just to sign the spiritual contract with Xiao Ran.

Apart from Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang had never felt this way before when meeting someone, and she didn't want to miss it. More importantly, Xiao Ran was interested, and Shu Shuang heard the response!

"Since you all have this intention, prepare the spiritual contract."

Xiao Ran happily pulled Shu Shuang aside, and Xia Xiao and the others could only stand there in a daze. Didn't you say you wouldn't sign the spiritual contract? Why did you change your mind again? Women are really fickle creatures.

"She agreed?"

When Tianming asked, the patriarch nodded bitterly.

"This is her own decision, so I respect her."

“I really didn’t expect that…”

When Tianming whispered, Xia Xiao was also surprised by this reversal. But if Shu Shuang and Xiao Ran signed the spiritual contract, he would have another woman to take care of. However, he had Ju Mang and Huo Dou in his body, so he could handle it. But it was a bit strange to say this.

"Your Shu Shuang got a great bargain."

When Tianming said this to Xia Xiao, Chuan Lian, who was standing behind him, smiled. It was a blessing to be able to sign a spiritual contract with a wild beast with a seventh-level bloodline. It could beat more than half, or even 90% of the practitioners. I wonder how wide the world will be in the future!

Outside the broken colored stones was a circular soft meadow. Shu Shuang and Xiao Ran sat on it, with a red soul stone in the middle. Xiao Ran was a little shy and had difficulty speaking, but Shu Shuang was much braver. She rarely showed her shy and timid side, except in front of Xia Xiao.

"I really think I've seen you somewhere."

"I have the same feeling, like it's God's will."

"Sister, have you ever been out of the Wild Beast Forest?"

Shu Shuang asked this in a hurry, but she didn't mean to offend. But this was her first time in the Wild Beast Forest. If Xiao Ran had never left, then their meeting could only be explained by fate. This little word became the swan song of the world. Some people say that if there is fate, they will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart, while others say that when fate ends, they will part. Therefore, no matter what, it can be explained by it. Sometimes it is absurd, and sometimes it makes people have to fall into it and believe it.

“I’ve never been out before, so it feels weird.”

"Then...are you really willing to sign a spiritual contract with me?"

There was some anticipation in Shu Shuang's fiery eyes, and Xiao Ran's face was reflected in it, and she was nodding.
