Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 454, Section 473: The White Rabbit's Name is Xiao Wu
This little white rabbit is a very sexually active rabbit. She goes into heat about every fourteen days, and each heat lasts for one to two days. After mating, she can give birth to a litter of rabbits in about thirty days. She lives her life in this regular way.

This was pure torture for Tang San.

Rabbits are considered low-level spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San's soul could only pray that this rabbit would encounter a natural enemy and die quickly, so that this disgusting test could be over.

Surprisingly, this rabbit was incredibly lucky. When it encountered predators, it always managed to escape danger. When it went out to forage, it often found hidden treasures in the forest that accelerated its cultivation.

The little rabbit continued its daily routine, year after year, foraging, digging burrows, mating, reproducing, and evading predators. Tang San lost count of how much time had passed; he had become numb. He had lost count of how many rabbits this rabbit had carried.

All we know is that a large portion of the lively rabbits in this forest are either the offspring of this little white rabbit or her descendants.

Centuries passed in the blink of an eye. As the rabbit's cultivation level increased, Tang San suddenly realized that this ignorant rabbit had begun to develop consciousness.

Soul beasts will likely shed their savagery and instincts and develop self-awareness in about ten thousand years.

"So, without us even realizing it, this rabbit has already reached the level of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?" Tang San said in surprise.

The little white rabbit began to gain wisdom, and many of her behaviors changed from before. She became more chaste, her heat cycle ended, and her reproductive desires subsided, making Tang San feel much better.

Suddenly, one day, the little white rabbit realized the call of family affection.

So, she skipped and hopped towards the call of family affection.

She saw a little white rabbit that was about the same size as the first white rabbit, and from this rabbit, she felt the call of family.

"Mom, are you my mom?"

“Yes, child, I am your mother, my name is Arou!” the rabbit said.

Like the little white rabbit, Arou also had many children, but most of them died at the hands of their natural enemies or died of old age without developing intelligence. After developing consciousness, Arou did not regard these rabbits as her own children until she sensed that a little white rabbit that was related to her by blood and was her own offspring had also developed intelligence. After observing it for a long time, Arou's maternal love finally arose deep in her heart.

"Mommy, that's great! Mommy, I have a mommy now!" the little rabbit exclaimed excitedly, hopping around in circles beside Arou, inhaling her mother's scent. "Mommy, your name is Arou, so what should I be called?"

“Child, Mom has thought of a name for you. You will be called Xiao Wu,” Arou said.

"Xiao Wu, that's wonderful! Xiao Wu is called Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu has a name now!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly. Amidst the heartwarming scene of mother and daughter reunited, someone's soul seemed to shatter.

"Xiao Wu? Could it be that what I experienced before was Xiao Wu's past?" Tang San's soul recalled the events of the past thousands of years, remembering that all the rabbits in this forest were related to this little white rabbit. If this was true, wouldn't that mean that in both this life and the previous one, Xiao Wu had countless other men besides him? He was completely stunned. Tang San refused to believe this fact. His eyes turned red, and he roared breathlessly, "No, impossible! This must be fake! Xiao Wu is definitely not that kind of woman, absolutely not!"

However, no matter how much Tang San refused to believe it was true, the subsequent events proved to him that the little white rabbit was indeed the Xiao Wu from his memories.

Advancing to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast greatly increased Xiao Wu's survival rate in this perilous forest, but she still faced the threat of many natural enemies. However, it seemed as if the world was looking out for Xiao Wu.

She was fortunate enough to meet two soul beast brothers who had just entered the ten-thousand-year stage, whose consciousness was just beginning to sprout and who were still confused. One was a Titan Giant Ape and the other was a Sky Blue Bull Python. The little white rabbit even gave these two soul beasts who had just entered the ten-thousand-year stage names: Da Ming and Er Ming.

With two younger brothers of strong bloodlines as her devoted followers, Xiao Wu had the right to act with impunity in this forest.

Moreover, the cultivation level of a soul beast is not necessarily linked to its age. The stronger the bloodline of a soul beast, the faster its cultivation level increases. Several thousand years have passed, and while Xiao Wu is still struggling as a ten-thousand-year soul beast, these two licking beasts have already broken through quickly with their powerful bloodline advantages and finally become hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. They have also become the guardians of the Lake of Life and the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.

With these two powerful backers, Xiao Wu could practically walk sideways in this forest.

Even after becoming overlords, they remained obsequious, constantly seeking out rare treasures in the forest for Arou and Xiaowu to accelerate their growth. At the same time, they also provided protection for Xiaowu's Soft Bone Rabbit clan, allowing a large group of Soft Bone Rabbits whose cultivation was originally less than a hundred years to directly reach the level of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

And so, Tang San's soul watched helplessly as a group of rabbits surrounded her and Arou, calling out: "Ancestor, Ancestor, Ancestor."
With the adoration of two devoted admirers, Arou was the first to advance to a 100,000-year-old soul beast. However, a 100,000-year-old soul beast must face a terrifying heavenly tribulation, which was a disaster for the Soft Bone Rabbit. Arou chose to transform into human form to avoid the heavenly tribulation, while Xiaowu also became a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Tang San then realized that his consciousness was being withdrawn from this space.

Finally, he appeared in a Shura temple. In the center of the temple, the indistinct, blurry figure sat on the throne.

"Tang San, what are your thoughts?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Tang San composed himself, looked at the God of Asura, and asked, "Respected God of Asura, is she truly Xiao Wu's past?"

“Yes,” Huo Yuhao said, “The cultivation level of the Soft Bone Rabbit is not at a very high starting point. Every Soft Bone Rabbit needs to go through a savage stage, during which the body is not controlled by intelligence.”

Upon hearing the explanation from the "God of Asura," Tang San fell silent. Did that mean that in both this life and the previous one, Xiao Wu's body was never pure from the beginning?
"Alright." Huo Yuhao asked, "So Tang San, as someone who deeply loves her, now that you know what happened to her in her innocent past, what will you do? Will you accept and forgive her, or will you choose to give her up? Please make your choice."
