After grabbing Xiao Wu and Chen Feng, the Titan Ape started running at full speed.
What no one saw was that Xiao Wu wasn't held in the ape's palm, but was sitting calmly on the ape's shoulder.
However, for Chen Feng, who was trapped in the Titan Ape's palm, it was a completely different situation.
He was suffering from the strong wind and huge vibrations caused by the ape's running. His whole body was like being trapped in a constantly shaking cage.
Chen Feng's arms hung limply. His thoughts became blurred in the continuous vibrations. Finally, a wave of dizziness hit him, and his world plunged into darkness.
"Erming, listen to me! Brother Feng really can't take it anymore! If you keep jolting like this, he might be in danger! Hurry up and put him up here."
Xiao Wu said anxiously.
"Oh ho ho."
The Titan Ape shook its head. A trace of confusion showed in its huge eyes. Apparently, it was very reluctant about this request because its instincts told it that it shouldn't put a powerful opponent on its shoulder.
Xiao Wu knitted her brows tightly:
"You mean you're kind of curious about how he blocked you and made you feel a bit uncomfortable?"
"Um... It's a bit strange indeed."
"What? You said you caught him to eat him?"
"No, that's absolutely not allowed! If you dare to eat him, I won't recognize you anymore."
Xiao Wu frowned and said, "Hurry up, be good and put him down!"
However, the Titan Ape Erming didn't seem to notice the urgency in Xiao Wu's tone and continued running like a gust of wind through the dense forest.
Xiao Wu finally erupted. She roared, "Erming! Stop right now! If you don't stop, I'm really going to get angry!"
"Oh ho ho~"
Hearing Xiao Wu's real angry voice, the Titan Ape let out a few low growls, as if apologizing and as if comforting.
Finally, at the foot of a mountain, it slowly stopped and obediently put Xiao Wu gently on the ground.
Erming's actions were extremely careful. Its extremely cautious movements were like holding a fragile bird's egg, for fear that the slightest carelessness would cause irreparable damage.
That appearance cast a huge and comical shadow in the sunlight, looking a bit ridiculous.
Xiao Wu looked at Erming's huge face, put her hands on her hips and said:
"Erming, I've said before that I can't meet you guys often now. Don't do this again next time, okay?"
"Oh ho ho..."
Erming lowered its head to admit its mistake, scratched its head with its hand, looking remorseful, like a puppy scolded by its master.
Looking at its simple and honest appearance, Xiao Wu couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, stop it. I know you wanted to see me. Remember not to be so impulsive next time."
"Actually, it's good to be brought out by you. I was just worried that I had no chance to obtain the third soul ring."
"Erming! Help me guard first! I'll talk to you after I get the soul ring."
After saying that, she gracefully sat cross - legged, formed seals with her hands, and started to enter a meditative state.
The pink light around her gradually became thicker, forming a gentle and mysterious aura.
Half an hour passed.
The faint pink light on Xiao Wu's body gradually revealed a layer of purple glow. The purple glow turned into little star - like dots and condensed into a ring.
Under the purple ring was clearly a thousand - year soul ring.
"Erming, thank you. You can go now."
"Oh ho ho..."
The Titan Ape slowly stood up, let out a gentle growl, and its huge figure walked deep into the forest, leaving Xiao Wu a quiet back view.
A few minutes later, Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes. His body was still a bit unsteady, clearly not fully recovered from the previous impact.
"Chen Feng, are you okay? Erming didn't mean it..."
Xiao Wu's voice was full of concern, but her words suddenly stopped short.
She realized that she had accidentally revealed her relationship with Erming, a secret she had been carefully hiding.
The tension in her heart instantly reached its peak. Xiao Wu's expression became stiff, and her eyes were fixed on Chen Feng's reaction, fearing that he would question her because of this.
Her heart was racing, and her palms were sweating.
It's over. I'm exposed.
How should she explain to Chen Feng that she knew Erming?
Hopefully, Chen Feng wouldn't notice this slip - of - the - tongue.
[Ding, it is detected that Xiao Wu has a nervous emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Chen Feng slowly steadied himself. His gaze carefully scanned the surroundings to confirm that the huge Titan Ape had really left.
Only when he felt safe did his body finally relax, and he let out a long, deep breath.
This big guy is really hard to deal with.
It almost sat him to death.
Fortunately, the system temporarily gave him a fifty - thousand - year soul ring.
Otherwise, as a noble time - traveler, he would have suffered the most tragic way of death.
Although he couldn't deal with the Titan Ape now, he could at least get some "interest" from Sister Xiao Wu, who was related to it.
A crafty smile flashed across Chen Feng's lips. He decided to use this incident to make some small requests to Xiao Wu as compensation.
He deliberately widened his eyes in feigned surprise, looking as if he had just heard a huge secret:
"Xiao Wu! What did you just call him? Do you know this big guy?"
Xiao Wu gave an awkward smile, her eyes flickering as if she was searching for a suitable excuse.
"If I said... you just had an illusion, would you believe me?"
Chen Feng shook his head. "Do you think I'm a fool, Xiao Wu? What on earth is going on? Why does the big guy listen to you?"
"I almost got crushed to death by the Titan Ape for everyone's sake, yet you're not even willing to tell me the truth?"
Chen Feng's voice suddenly rose, cold as iron, making Xiao Wu's eardrums ache.
Hearing Chen Feng's straightforward question, Xiao Wu's expression became extremely complicated.
Her eyes shifted restlessly, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
That stupid Erming almost crushed me to death too. If it weren't for Chen Feng, I would have died.
There's no way to hide it now.
A sense of helplessness welled up in her heart. Maybe if she confessed to Chen Feng that she was a soul beast and then asked him not to tell others, he might accept it?
Perhaps if she told Chen Feng that she was a soul beast and asked him not to tell others, this guy might accept it?
Anyway, with her little brain, she couldn't think of any other way at the moment.
[Ding, it is detected that Xiao Wu has a nervous + apprehensive emotion, and the emotion value + 200]
Xiao Wu bit her lip and finally made up her mind.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Chen Feng.
"Xiao Wu, I know. You're actually a hundred - thousand - year - old soul beast!"

I'm asking for your collection, recommendation votes, and five - star reviews! Come on, come on, come on!
Chen Feng has caught Xiao Wu's handle. So, what kind of conditions should he set?
Should he set some excessive conditions?
Hehe.
