At that moment, both of them were wearing faces full of expectation as they waited for Ye Feng's answer, their gazes fixed intently on him.
They were really eager to find out how Ye Feng had managed to persuade the Azure Oxpython.
Previously, during their private conversation, they had been enveloped in a special Soul Power, which made whatever was said inside completely incomprehensible to those standing outside.
"Uh..."
Ye Feng hadn't expected both of them to be so interested in how he had done it.
"Come on, Little Fengfeng, stop beating around the bush, how did you convince that hundred-thousand-year Azure Oxpython?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo pressed him once more.
His face was full of the desire to know.
It was truly unbelievable that the beast would listen to a human of level 70.
That Oxpython wasn't an easy one to deal with; even a powerful Titled Douluo once failed to convince it, how exactly did he do it?
However, some things indeed deserve praise. It had been a long time since their last meeting, and Ye Feng's progress was simply astounding.
Not only did his Soul Power reach level 70, but his negotiation skills were also extremely strong!
He could calmly face an opponent many times stronger than himself.
He was even able to negotiate terms and subsequently enter the area he wanted.
Without wasting a single soldier.
Following him to the Aquipeia Forest was indeed not a wasted trip.
Remember this path; if there's ever a chance to become an Ultimate Douluo needing a soul bone, come in here to find soul beasts to kill.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
"Let's keep this matter a secret for now, I'll tell you guys about it after some time has passed," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Of course, some things shouldn't be disclosed too clearly.
Especially since Xiaowu's identity hadn't been fully revealed yet.
If he were too forthcoming now, someone might take the opportunity to act before him.
That would be more of a loss than gain.
Because if something were to happen to Xiaowu, the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Aquipeia Forest would surely become uncontrollable.
"As expected, you, Old Peel, always like to hide things!"
Du Gubo knew that Ye Feng would keep things to himself.
Ever since he had known him, Ye Feng was like a mysterious black hole, impossible to clearly discern or understand.
However, this was also a reflection of his abilities.
With this, he could develop Qingfeng Tower without concern.
After all, if Ye Feng could handle a behemoth like the Azure Oxpython, what else couldn't he manage?
Martial Soul Hall's pursuit?
Even if there really was a pursuit from Martial Soul Hall, he believed that Ye Feng would assuredly turn danger into safety.
Why should he worry about anything then?
He would just lie low and develop Qingfeng Tower.
And then, when needed, he would show up, becoming Old Peel's strongest shield or trump card.
"Little Fengfeng, don't be a stranger in front of us. We all came out here together to hunt soul beasts, and you're keeping such a small matter a secret. But since you don't want to say, then let's drop it. However, you've got to tell us, what exactly are Da Ming and Er Ming?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, full of curiosity in his eyes.
Before, they had noticed a change in the Azure Oxpython after hearing Ye Feng utter these names.
Immediately after, it agreed to talk with Ye Feng.
The whole process was in silent mode.
So he wanted to know exactly what Da Ming and Er Ming were.
"Alright, Old Chrysanthemum, why are you being so annoying? Old Peel already said that matter is a secret. Why do you keep pressing it, Old Chrysanthemum? Remember what we came here for, we're here to find soul beasts, and such a rare opportunity shouldn't be ruined over this trivial thing. Get your priorities straight!"
Upon hearing this, Du Gubo spoke up immediately, in a scolding manner.
"???"
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Du Gubo with a face full of question marks.
"What, did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Du Gubo asked, annoyed.
"Old Poison, when did it become your turn to lecture me? I will be the first to obtain a soul bone, so you just get out of my way!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo snapped back, veins popping on his forehead ever since the other won last time, feeling as if he were always acting against him.
The key issue was that despite also wanting to know what had happened, Du Gubo was pushing him out, which was utterly despicable!
"Hey, don't push it, Old Chrysanthemum! Don't make me send you looking for your teeth all over the floor again!" Du Gubo retorted irritably.
"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you, Old Poison? Last time was just a fluke!!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said, clenching his fists.
"Let's keep moving," Ye Feng interjected at that moment.
Carrying on the argument would only cause more hassle.
"Hmph!"
Both of them snorted coldly.
Their expressions seemed to say that if it weren't for Ye Feng's sake, they wouldn't let this matter rest so easily.
The world finally became quiet at that moment.
"Whoosh—"
However, just as it quieted down, suddenly a sound pierced the silence.
All three of them quietly became alert, scanning their surroundings.
"Everyone, be careful," Ye Feng said.
In the depths of the Aquipeia Forest, danger lurked around every corner, and caution was necessary.
Otherwise, they might never know how they ended up dead in this place.
"Don't worry, Little Fengfeng. Old Poison and I are both Titled Douluo, and you're pretty much one too. With the three of us here, I believe we can hold our own even in a situation like this," Chrysanthemum Douluo said to Ye Feng, grinning.
"Don't listen to that Old Chrysanthemum, no matter what, Old Peel, you have to take good care of yourself," Du Gubo said gravely.
The whole forest, at that moment, turned exceedingly quiet as if it had entered a suspended state.
