Chapter 124: Soul Beast Identity Revealed
Soul Beast Forest
Chen Xuan sensed the location of the mark and walked along the tree-lined path. Fortunately, there were no large soul beasts in this area, so there was no danger.

Half an hour later, he came to a distance of three thousand meters and found a bright pink figure beside a bush.

Xiao Wu sat cross-legged there, her body glowing and gleaming with golden light, and she looked like she was bathed in the sun, sparkling with light.

As expected, she deliberately ran so far in order to condense her soul ring and avoid being discovered.

Chen Xuan leaned leisurely against a big tree, waiting for Xiao Wu to condense her spirit ring. At the same time, he released a wide range of perception, covering an area within a radius of 200 meters, so that any movement could be known in advance.

"Why don't you find a safe place?" He was speechless. There were already large wild beasts in this forest.

When he came, he also encountered several ten-thousand-year soul beasts, which meant that they were almost reaching the depths of the forest.

"Unfortunately, there is no one suitable for me." Chen Xuan shook his head. This time he wanted to find a wind-controlling soul beast to achieve the goal of strengthening his wind-attribute soul skills.

Back then, he absorbed a lightning fish in the Star Dou Great Forest, which increased the lightning attribute soul power in his body by two or three levels.

The power of soul skills can only be enhanced by combining with the power of this world.

"I don't know if her endurance limit has increased." Chen Xuan whispered.

The red agate-like strange fruit increased his physical fitness, and with the addition of the lightning baptism of his body, the limit of his soul ring endurance was raised to about ten thousand years.

After Xiao Wu ate the crystal carrot, her soul power had already exceeded level 40. After so much time of accumulation, it is possible that the limit of her body's endurance has reached ten thousand years.

Chen Xuan felt that even if it couldn't reach ten thousand years, it should be able to reach more than nine thousand years.

Xiao Wu sat on the lawn, her soul power surging, her body glowing with golden light, and she was still condensing her soul ring.

Half an hour later, the light on her body gradually dimmed and retracted into her body. The fluctuations in her soul power also disappeared, as if... it was over.

"Level 43!" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with joy, her face was filled with smiles, and her happiness was beyond words.

"Congratulations."

For a moment, her body tensed, she felt cold all over, and her slightly joyful expression froze.

The two words that came out of nowhere were very plain, but when they fell into her ears, they sounded like the whisper of a devil, very creepy, and made her body cold.
Xiao Wu was scared, with a hint of fear in her eyes. She raised her head stiffly and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Sitting on the branch of a large tree above, there was a fairly handsome man with a calm expression, also looking at her.

"Chen Xuan, why is it you!" Xiao Wu's pupils contracted, she was extremely surprised.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly became alert again, staring at the other party nervously, and mentally prepared for a fight.

"If it's not me, who else do you think it is?" Chen Xuan was speechless. He had been protecting the Dharma for more than half an hour and had even driven away several small soul beasts.

Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and she felt cold from head to toe. She asked nervously, "Chen Xuan, how long have you been here?"

She trembled as she spoke, her body gradually tensed up, with a hint of pleading between her brows, hoping that the other party had just arrived and had not seen the process of her condensing the spirit ring.

Unfortunately, her hope may not come true, and the reality is exactly what she feared.

"I arrived not long after you absorbed the spirit ring." Chen Xuan answered truthfully. There was no need to lie.

Xiao Wu’s face turned pale and her body trembled violently.

"You...you saw it all!"

Chen Xuan nodded, and then felt a little confused. Who would not notice such a loud noise?

At this moment, Xiao Wu felt as if facing a formidable enemy, and the look in her eyes when she looked towards Chen Xuan changed.

She knew too well what it meant to reveal the identity of a soul beast in front of a soul master. Even the closest people would become enemies. A hundred thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul bone, who wouldn't be jealous?

Even if the other party cannot absorb the 100,000-year spirit ring, he can still pass the information on to the big shots and receive a generous reward.

"You...what do you want?" Xiao Wu clenched her fists and said this through gritted teeth.

"What?" Chen Xuan was stunned and didn't react.

After a while, he suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Are you referring to your soul beast identity? I already knew that."

"You knew it a long time ago!" Xiao Wu stared with her eyes wide open. The amount of information was too much, and it was another heavy blow.

Soon, she noticed the loophole. If she had discovered it earlier, why didn't she expose her? She also told the news to the Titled Douluo, and she would definitely get protection and rewards.

Moreover, don’t humans hate and detest soul beasts the most? Chen Xuan knew about her identity as a soul beast a long time ago, so how could he have violated her before?

"You...you must be lying. If you really knew, you would definitely kill me to get the hundred thousand year soul bone." Xiao Wu's body trembled and she kept backing away. She didn't believe Chen Xuan's sweet words. No one could resist the temptation of a hundred thousand year soul bone.

Chen Xuan laughed when he heard that. This little girl was usually silly, but she became smart at this moment.

"Silly boy, don't think too much. I have never thought of anything bad for you." His smile faded and he became extremely serious.

"Men's words are deceiving, I don't believe you!" Xiao Wu looked nervous, with sweat dripping down her forehead, and she looked at Chen Xuan with vigilance.

Her heart was pounding and she felt insecure. She kept backing away and keeping her distance from the other person.

"Silly boy, do you think I have to lie to you?" Chen Xuan stood where he was and did not take a step, fearing that the other party would overreact.

He opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, his pupils were as red as blood, and had already transformed into a yin-yang fish pattern. He said, "From the moment I opened these eyes, I saw through your identity as a soul beast."

Xiao Wu stopped, looking conflicted and obviously hesitant.

Because Chen Xuan was right, there was no need to deceive her. Moreover, the other person's eyes made her feel a chilling and piercing soul power, which was very powerful.

She still didn't believe Chen Xuan, but she wasn't as scared anymore. When he was a Soul Sect Master, he could challenge the entire Tianshui Academy alone. Now that he has cultivated to the Soul King level, if he wanted to harm her, she would have been captured long ago.

"Then... when did you find out?" Xiao Wu asked. Although she was not as scared anymore, she was still wary of Chen Xuan.

"Before the Continental Soul Master Competition begins." Chen Xuan confessed, not planning to hide it any longer.

He sighed slightly, knowing that the child's mother would not trust him for a while.

Xiao Wu didn't believe it. There was a hint of anger between her brows. She questioned, "You are lying. If what you said is true, then, then... why did you touch me... Don't you humans hate soul beasts the most?" As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

She knew this very well, so she was very afraid of exposing her soul beast identity. If her third brother knew this, would her companions still like Xiao Wu if they knew she was not human? Would they turn against her?
Her identity has been exposed. Can she ever return to her third brother and everyone else?
Tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes and she felt sad. When she thought of Rongrong, Zhuqing and everyone else showing disgust towards her, or even using knives against them, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She really didn't want that to happen.

Chen Xuan's eyes softened a lot, and he sighed, "I didn't want to end up like this today. If I had known in advance that those two strange fruits were dual cultivation fruits, I would never have let you eat them."

He also found out today. After he broke through level 50, the system told him that it was a rare fruit that promoted dual cultivation. He definitely had no premeditated intention to violate Xiao Wu. He could swear on it.

Xiao Wu didn't say anything, but the vigilance in her eyes had decreased a little.

"Things have already happened. There's no point in discussing them." Chen Xuan has never been one to pass the buck.

He took a deep breath, his eyes firm, and looked at Xiao Wu solemnly, saying: "I know you don't need me to take any responsibility. Maybe you still hate me in your heart, but you are pregnant. I must be responsible for you and the child."

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to be pulled. She looked at Chen Xuan in shock and said, "You...you know everything!"

Her voice was trembling slightly. She couldn't believe that Chen Xuan knew everything.
