Under the cover of night.
Ye Qiu led the girls back to Shrek Academy.
They would pack their things today, and after the group battle tomorrow, they would leave Shrek Academy directly.
Ye Qiu's voice came from the three girls' dormitory.
"Rongrong, I didn't use much force at all, you can get down now, right?"
"Hmph! Who told you to hit me in front of so many people?" Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, tightly gripping Ye Qiu's neck.
Being seen by Dugu Yan and Xiao Lan being spanked by Ye Qiu was too embarrassing!
"It's all your fault, always saying hurtful things." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
"What?! Zhu Qing already fought once, there was no real fight, I was just joking."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, you should get down now, Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu's things are almost packed." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and put Ning Rongrong down.
"Hmph!" She turned her back on Ye Qiu and went to pack her things in a huff.
"Husband~ Where are we going later?" Dugu Yan chuckled as she hugged Ye Qiu.
"I know, I know! Sister Xiao Wu already told Xiao Lan!" Xiao Lan jumped off the bed, her face beaming.
She ran to Dugu Yan's side and whispered, "Sister Yan, brother is taking us to the Star Dou Great Forest later!"
"The Star Dou Great Forest?!" Dugu Yan looked puzzled. This didn't seem like a place for a gathering.
"That's right, the Star Dou Great Forest! And the central area too~" Ye Qiu put his arm around Dugu Yan's waist and gently kissed her cheek.
"Really?" Dugu Yan was still a little confused.
"Hehe, you'll be shocked when you see Ye Qiu's two brothers-in-law!" Ning Rongrong said with a mischievous grin as she put away her blue and white striped pants.
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu's two younger brothers!" Xiao Lan also smiled, clearly feeling a strong sense of belonging to the Soul Beast race.
Ye Qiu didn't intend to change anything; after all, it was a sense of belonging flowing in his blood and residing in his soul.
"Alright, Yan Yan, you'll see soon enough." Ye Qiu gently pinched Dugu Yan's cheek.
...
A short while later, the girls had packed their things.
"Xiao Qiu, let's go!" Xiao Wu happily took Ye Qiu's arm.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had also joined them.
"Then let's set off." Ye Qiu, leading the still somewhat dazed Dugu Yan, his eyes flashing with divine power, quickly led them away from the room.
...
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
The lake surface emitted a faint halo, utterly tranquil.
Er Ming was dozing in the distance, his eyelids gradually growing heavy.
Suddenly
, his previously dim eyes widened, his golden, lantern-like eyes slowly rising into the air.
He sensed the auras of Ye Qiu and the others, including two unfamiliar ones.
"We've arrived!"
"Wow! Is this Sister Xiaowu's home? It's so beautiful and comfortable!"
Xiao Lan, who had just arrived, opened her arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air from the Lake of Life.
The blue silver grass on the shore and around seemed to have come alive, swaying gently.
"Is this...is this really the Star Dou Great Forest?" Dugu Yan stared blankly at the surrounding scenery.
This was nothing like the dark and dangerous place she remembered.
"Yes, this is the Lake of Life, the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest!" Ye Qiu hugged Dugu Yan in his arms to prevent her from being frightened later.
"Of course, look, there's our little house over there!" Ning Rongrong pointed to a wooden house not far away.
Rumble!
The ground was shaking.
"Roar~" A low roar came from afar.
Splash!
Suddenly, the sound of water splashing rang out from the Lake of Life.
"Husband! A soul beast is coming!"
Looking at the two large lantern-like eyes in the distance and the two green lights at the bottom of the lake, Dugu Yan shouted nervously.
"Don't be afraid, Yan Yan, they won't hurt us." Ye Qiu held Dugu Yan and gently reminded her, so that she could be mentally prepared. "Actually, Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. These two are her adopted brothers." "
A 100,000-year-old soul beast? In human form?!" Dugu Yan looked at Xiao Wu in shock, her mind unable to process it for a moment.
"Don't make a fuss!" Ning Rongrong glanced at her and jumped up, waving in the distance.
"Er Ming!"
Ye Qiu rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong. When she first found out, she was clearly not as good as Yan Yan.

"Roar!" Erming's figure finally emerged from the clouds, completely revealing itself to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's face paled as she stared in shock at the soul beast before her. Its body was covered in muscles like granite, and its ferocious aura surpassed even that of her grandfather.
It even gave her a hideous grin.
Ning Rongrong was already being held in its arms!
"Don't be afraid...it won't hurt us," Ye Qiu comforted Dugu Yan, holding her tightly.
Xiao Lan's excited voice rang out: "Sister Yan Yan, look...there's a huge bull's head in the lake!"
Dugu Yan also looked towards the Lake of Life.
"Ah!"
A massive bull's head came into view, startling her into a gasp.
Da Ming glanced at her, almost making her stop breathing.
"Sister Xiao Wu, Sister Rongrong, Sister Zhu Qing, you've come."
"Speaking?!" Dugu Yan felt her mind reeling. This soul beast was calling Ning Rongrong and the others "sisters"?!
This world is too crazy!
Zhu Zhuqing smiled at Dugu Yan's expression.
She had been even more nervous than Dugu Yan when she first met Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Hello, Brother Da Ming, Brother Er Ming!" Xiao Lan's cheerful voice rang out, waving happily at Da Ming.
"Ye Qiu, who are these two?" Da Ming looked at Xiao Lan and Dugu Yan curiously,
especially at Xiao Lan, this naturally outgoing girl.
"Da Ming, Xiao Lan is just like us!" Xiao Wu smiled mysteriously.
"Just like us?" Da Ming's deep voice spread out, his bull-like eyes narrowing in surprise. "Is she Lan Yin Huang?!"
"That's right! She's also Xiao Qiu's sister." Xiao Wu introduced happily.
Er Ming placed Ning Rongrong on his shoulder and growled at Xiao Lan.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, this is Yan Yan, and also my future wife." Ye Qiu pulled Dugu Yan along, introducing her to the two brothers.
"Husband..." Dugu Yan looked at Da Ming and Er Ming somewhat reservedly, too nervous to express her feelings, her expression showing a hint of panic.
"Another one?"
Da Ming paused, a stream of white light shooting from its nose. After a moment's hesitation, it nodded to Dugu Yan.
It didn't mind being called "sister" again, and politely said, "Hello, Sister Yan Yan!"
"Ah?! You...hello." Dugu Yan forced a smile and greeted Da Ming, but upon hearing the shout behind her, she quickly turned around.
"Hello, hello!"
"Pfft, haha!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but burst into laughter at the scene.
"Brother Da Ming, Brother Er Ming, aren't you going to say hello to Xiao Lan?" Xiao Lan kept jumping around, trying to get their attention again.
"Uh, hello, Sister Xiao Lan." Da Ming also greeted her with a smile; being a fellow soul beast, its tone was much more friendly.
"Xiao Lan, come quickly and let Er Ming show us around!" Ning Rongrong called out to Xiao Lan.
"Okay, Sister Xiaowu, let's go together!"
"Yanyan, let's go inside the cabin. I'll explain everything to you properly."
"Okay." Dugu Yan calmed her racing heart, hugging Ye Qiu tightly, afraid to let go.
Ye Qiu led Dugu Yan towards the cabin.
...
Below the Lake of Life.
In a space Ye Qiu couldn't yet explore.
A light screen was projecting the actions of Ye Qiu and the others, along with their beasts, within the Lake of Life. Several
scattered figures stood around the light screen,
their expressions varied .
In the distance, there was also a chubby ice silkworm.
"Di Tian, when can we finally get out?!"
"Wait for the Lord's orders!" (End of Chapter)
