Chapter 229 Encountering Xiao Wu in the City, Searching for Spiritual Medicine Among the Stars
Qian Renxue knew in her heart that Su Chen must still have his own things to do. No matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't show it. She nodded almost imperceptibly with her back to Su Chen, and stepped into the palace to continue being the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe.
Su Chen watched Qian Renxue leave, then turned and teleported away from the Heavenly Dou Imperial City.
The magical energy he gifted to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was described as a special potion. Since it was a potion, it naturally required medicinal materials and rare treasures for its preparation.
Su Chen wouldn't expose himself in such a situation, so even though he knew Poseidon was likely to be watching him, he turned and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
When Su Chen brought Qian Renxue back, he considered whether to avoid her, but then he thought that if he appeared in front of Poseidon, Poseidon would probably know everything that happened at sea.
It's not good to try to cover things up. Besides, everyone in Douluo Continent knows that the Spirit Hall is plotting against the Heaven Dou Empire, so there's nothing to hide.
If Poseidon wanted to say that this matter didn't exist, he would inform the Heavenly Dou Imperial City; if he didn't want to say that it did exist, he wouldn't inform them.
According to Su Chen's calculations, the probability of Poseidon not telling is as high as 90%.
Leaving the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, Su Chen hesitated for a moment before passing through the Star Dou Great Forest. Instead of going there first, he chose to cross the Star Dou Great Forest and make a trip to the Star Luo Empire.
The biggest obstacles for the Spirit Hall to unify the Douluo Continent are the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire has already been brought under control, and all that's left is for Qian Renxue to take advantage of the situation.
The Star Luo Empire remains, but there's still no good solution.
Originally, Su Chen and Bibi Dong intended to deal with the Star Luo Empire, but Su Chen's strength increased too quickly. Once Su Chen had the strength to suppress the world, the Star Luo Empire naturally had nothing to fear.
Therefore, the plans regarding the Star Luo Empire were temporarily shelved and not explored further.
Only the Akatsuki members who had been stationed here beforehand were diligently carrying out the tasks that Su Chen had previously assigned them.
Su Chen came to the Star Luo Empire to meet with the higher-ups of the Akatsuki organization, to inspect the situation, and also to see if the Akatsuki had recruited anyone they shouldn't have.
The inspection ended quickly, and Su Chen left to stroll around the Star Luo Empire. Unexpectedly, at that moment, he heard a very familiar voice.
"You think you can bully me?"
"You're really overestimating yourselves! Today I'll show you why flowers are so red!"
A clear female voice rang out from the alley not far away. The next moment, a faint energy appeared from the alley, followed by a series of clanging sounds. A girl with a high ponytail walked out of the alley, clapping her hands.
In the alley behind her, faint sounds of "ouch, ouch" could still be heard.
"Xiao Wu".
Upon calling out the girl's name, Su Chen's gaze instinctively fell on the alley behind Xiao Wu. Without even thinking, he knew that it must be a spoiled brat who had taken a liking to Xiao Wu's looks and wanted to bully her, but ended up being bullied back by Xiao Wu instead.
Su Chen understood Xiao Wu's tendency to always want to run away, but seeing how nimbly she reached out, he realized she was even more formidable than the last time he saw her.
Xiao Wu had no idea what Su Chen was thinking.
The moment Xiao Wu heard Su Chen's voice, all the smugness on her face vanished instantly. She stiffly raised her head, and when she actually saw Su Chen's figure, her face fell, and she subconsciously began to defend herself.
"I didn't run away, I...I did, yes! I was kidnapped by these people!"
"Don't blame me!"
Xiao Wu's eyes darted around nervously. She was extremely guilty. What she said was true, but these people would see her because she had shown herself on her own initiative.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be talked about!
Xiao Wu knows the relationship between Su Chen and Bi Ji.
Xiao Wu had only one thing on her mind right now.
How can I prevent my boss's boss from informing on me to my boss?
in a hurry!
"Alright, come back to the Star Dou Great Forest with me. Is Bi Ji aware that you came out?"
Su Chen stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Wu's arm, and left the area. The sounds of the people in the alley had already attracted the attention of passersby, who frequently glanced over.
If they wait any longer, someone might go in and take a look. Su Chen wasn't afraid of these people, but it was better to avoid this kind of pointless trouble.
"have no idea."
"She's not in Star Dou Forest, that's why I came out..."
"No, no, they kidnapped me, I don't know anything about it."
Unconsciously letting slip, Xiao Wu quickly corrected herself when she saw Su Chen looking over, returning to her previous statement.
Su Chen didn't bother to expose Xiao Wu's lie and her wandering gaze.
They took Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest. As soon as they entered the forest, two rabbit ears popped up on Xiao Wu's head. The ears twitched from time to time, clearly showing that Xiao Wu felt comfortable all over after returning home.
Once inside her own territory, Xiao Wu was no longer afraid of Su Chen.
Turning her head to look at Su Chen, and seeing that Su Chen had no intention of leaving, Xiao Wu guessed that Su Chen must also be coming to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, in the past, when Su Chen came over, he would go directly to Di Tian and Bi Ji. Why does it seem like he doesn't have that idea this time?
Confused, Xiao Wu subconsciously asked the question.
"You didn't come here to see Lord Di Tian?"
"I need to talk to him, but I have other things to do, so it's not too late to go later."
Su Chen scanned the Star Dou Forest, found a direction, and answered Xiao Wu's questions as he walked.
Xiao Wu's gaze shifted, and she immediately followed, asking, "What other things? What are they?"
"But does it have anything to do with my family?"
"If you have any, feel free to ask me. I know my house very well."
Xiao Wu patted her chest, extremely enthusiastic, but how much of that enthusiasm was actually to persuade Su Chen not to tell Bi Ji that she had secretly left the Star Dou Great Forest again was unknown.
Su Chen walked a short distance away, checked his bearings, and ignored Xiao Wu's now-description of "flattery," simply replying, "No need."
As one of the forbidden zones for humans, the Star Dou Forest is vast, spanning the Star Luo and Heaven Dou kingdoms. It contains countless towering trees, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves. Not to mention the number of soul beasts, the poisonous insects, snakes, and ants alone are enough to give anyone a hard time.
Sunlight fell into the forest, leaving only dappled white spots, at most making the forest slightly brighter, while many dark places remained.
An ordinary person who walks into this place would probably get completely lost within ten miles, not knowing which way is east, west, south, or north.
However, Su Chen's soul contained the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had been dormant, it was still a soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest and was extremely familiar with the environment here.
After Su Chen explained the concept of immortal energy to it, it provided dozens of medicinal herbs, explaining that these herbs had some overlap with the functions of immortal energy.
Poseidon would see it and believe it.
With Tianmeng Ice Silkworm around, it wouldn't be wrong to call the Star Dou Great Forest Su Chen's home.
He naturally didn't need Xiao Wu to lead the way. (End of Chapter)
