Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 38 The sunset is nice today, isn't it?

Flanders felt a slight stirring in his heart.

With such talent, he would be a top prospect anywhere.

Moreover, judging from the young man's generous spending and refined demeanor, he doesn't seem to come from an ordinary background.

Could it be that they heard about Shrek Academy's reputation and came here specifically to enroll?

This thought made Flander's lips curl into a slight smile.

Although Shrek Academy has simple facilities and a low reputation, it adheres to the principle of "only accepting monsters, not ordinary people" and has recruited a few good students over the years.

If this young man really came for the academy—

However, for the next two and a half days, Flander would deliberately wait at the academy gate for a while each day, hoping that the boy would suddenly appear.

Unfortunately, he waited in vain.

Jiang Bai had already left Soto City and embarked on his journey home.

After leaving Soto City, Jiang Bai summoned a wind dragon in a deserted area outside the city and flew south.

Two and a half hours later, the familiar outline of the plains came into view.

That was the Lima Plain, and Niuma Village was situated on the plain.

As evening approached, wisps of smoke rose from the village, outlining a peaceful silhouette against the setting sun.

Jiang Bai's heart was racing uncontrollably.

Six years.

He had the wind dragon land in a forest clearing several miles from the village and then retrieved it into the tower.

Then, following the dirt road I remembered, I slowly walked towards the village.

The dirt road is flanked by familiar plains, with wildflowers blooming along the roadside, and herders are driving the last of their cattle and horses back to their sheds.

Further away, dozens of houses are scattered on the hillside, mostly mud-brick or wooden houses with roofs covered with thick thatch or tiles.

Everything seems the same, yet everything seems to have changed.

As Jiang Bai was walking, he heard the mooing of a cow ahead.

He looked up and saw a group of about a dozen yellow cattle slowly walking back.

A boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old rode on the back of the lead bull, waving a whip and driving the herd toward the village.

The boy had dark skin, a sturdy build, and wore a patched-up coarse cloth outfit.

He wielded the whip with practiced skill, but Jiang Bai keenly noticed that there was an extremely faint fluctuation of soul power when the whip was swung.

A whip-wielding martial spirit?

Jiang Bai's heart stirred.

He carefully examined the boy's face. Although he was a bit dark-skinned and muscular, the contours between his brows still showed a hint of familiarity.

Just then, the boy also noticed Jiang Bai on the road.

He paused for a moment, clearly surprised to encounter a stranger outside the village at this time.

The boy jumped off the cow's back, herded the herd to the roadside to graze, and then jogged over.

He stopped a few steps in front of Jiang Bai, bowed slightly, his attitude respectful but not servile: "Respected Soul Master, welcome to Niu Ma Village. May I ask who you are—"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Bai stepped forward and reached out to support his arm, preventing him from continuing to bow.

"Xihai," Jiang Bai smiled as he looked at the boy's wide, surprised eyes, "It's me. Jiang Bai."

Xi Hai was stunned.

He stared blankly at the boy in front of him, who was half a head taller than him, with a handsome face and a calm and steady demeanor, his mind completely blank.

Jiang — Jiang Bai Ge?

"You—you're really Brother Jiang Bai?"

Xihai finally regained his voice, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Genuine or genuine."

Xi Hai grabbed Jiang Bai's arm, his voice choked with emotion: "Brother Jiang Bai! You're really back! I thought—I thought you went to the big city and would never come back to our little village—"

"How could that be?" Jiang Bai patted his shoulder. "This is my home."

Xi Hai nodded vigorously, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. "Brother Jiang Bai, it's getting late. Why don't you have dinner at my place tonight?"

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

"Brother Jiang Bai, how long are you staying this time? Are you leaving again?"

"I'll stay for a few days."

Jiang Bai didn't give a definite answer, "Let's go see the old village chief, and then go see my mother."

"good!"

"Let's go, let's go back to the village!"

Xi Hai took the reins of a cow and said to Jiang Bai, "My father will be overjoyed to see you back! And Grandma Village Chief is also thinking of you!"

Jiang Bai smiled and nodded, helping Xi Hai drive the cattle herd toward the village.

The setting sun cast long shadows of them onto the golden plain.

In the village, women were already standing at their doorways, calling their children home for dinner. The smoke from the chimneys grew thicker, and the aroma of food wafted through the air.

Starry Sky Forest.

A golden figure, as nimble as a cheetah, darted swiftly through the dense forest.

She was a girl who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was slender and tall, wearing a simple white outfit with silver trim that accentuated her curves.

She has long, dazzling golden hair, tied into a neat high ponytail that bounces behind her head as she runs.

What's most striking is her eyes—they're a pair of red pupils!

The girl moved extremely fast; with a light touch of her toes on tree trunks and rocks, she could leap several meters.

She knew this forest as well as her own backyard and could always find the most convenient path.

However, just as she was about to rush out of the edge of the forest, a figure appeared silently in front of her like a ghost.

The girl suddenly stopped, her boots leaving a shallow mark on the ground.

She looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her, arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile, and took a half-step back guiltily, forcing a dry laugh.

"Uh...hehe, Sister Brigitte, this evening...is really nice!"

Looking at the auspicious beast before her, which had already transformed into human form but still couldn't hide its lively and unrestrained nature, Biji's emerald eyes were filled with helplessness and doting affection.

"Auspicious beast—" she sighed softly, "Where are you planning to go?"

The three-eyed golden lion blinked and gave a fawning smile.

"I just... I just want to go see the human world! Look, I've already taken human form, so I need to get used to what it's like to be human, right?"

Brigitte shook her head.

She had long anticipated that the little guy wouldn't behave. She sensed an energy fluctuation last night, and knew this was going to happen.

"The human world is complex and dangerous."

Brigitte walked slowly to the three-eyed golden-faced woman and reached out to ruffle her golden hair.

"Although you have taken human form, your cultivation is not yet stable, and your abilities need time to adapt. Going out rashly—"

"I'm not going alone!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly grabbed Brigitte's arm and shook it affectionately.

"Sister Brigitte, come with me! By human standards, you're a level 99 Peerless Douluo! With you here, who would dare bully me?"

Brigitte was exasperated by her shaking, and a thoughtful look flashed in her emerald eyes.

She was indeed worried about letting the mythical beast go to the human world alone.

"Sister Brigitte~~" The three-eyed golden lion drawled out the words, its heterochromatic eyes filled with anticipation.

"Just consider it a training exercise for me! I promise I'll be obedient, won't run around, and won't cause trouble!"

After a long silence, Brigitte finally sighed softly and nodded.

"Alright. I'll go with you."

"Yay! Sister Brigitte is the best!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion cheered and happily hugged Brigitte.

Brigitte smiled helplessly, but a deep meaning flashed in her eyes.

The human world—
