In front of Tang Nian, a huge and mighty phantom bear suddenly appeared.

That’s right, it was the one she saw when she first met Chi Shiye in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking back, the Phantom Giant Bear unfortunately passed away after that fierce battle, and the cubs it left behind were taken away by Qian Shiye.

Time flies. If Tang Nian had not seen the phantom giant bear again today, he would probably have forgotten this past event long ago.

This phantom giant bear was completely black, but in sharp contrast were its four thick and powerful yellow limbs.

Its big, ink-black eyes were staring at Tang Nian, and its round eyeballs revealed endless curiosity.

At this moment, it tilted its head slightly, as if it was full of curiosity about the strange human in front of it, but surprisingly, it did not show the slightest bit of vigilance towards humans.

Tang Nian couldn't help but feel confused. The relationship between soul beasts and humans has always been tense and delicate, and they are like water and fire. But why is the phantom giant bear in front of him so abnormal?

Just as she was lost in thought, Qian Shiye beside her gently raised his hand and called softly, "Xiaobai, come here quickly."

Hearing this name, Tang Nian's eyes widened instantly, and he felt that his three views were about to be shattered.

You know, this phantom giant bear in front of you is almost black from head to toe except for its limbs, which makes it difficult for people to associate it with the word "white".

Moreover, would it really obey if it was simply called out like this? Tang Nian was deeply skeptical.

However, in the next moment, something Tang Nian never expected happened...

I saw the huge phantom bear running towards Qian Shiye at a very fast speed. Its huge body brought up a gust of wind, but in the blink of an eye, the phantom bear arrived in front of Qian Shiye.

Then it unexpectedly opened its bloody mouth, and just when Tang Nian's heart was trembling, the phantom giant bear stretched out its long tongue and gently licked Qian Shiye's cheek.

Faced with such an intimate action, Qian Shiye remained calm, without showing any discomfort or unfamiliarity on his face.

He looked at the phantom giant bear in front of him with a faint smile, as if he was already accustomed to such scenes.

Judging from the tacit interaction between them, it seems that Phantom Giant Bear and Qian Shiye often behave in such intimate ways.

At this time, Qian Shiye raised his hand, stretched out his slender index finger, and pointed slightly at Tang Nian who was standing not far away.

After receiving the instructions, the phantom giant bear turned around and walked towards Tang Nian without hesitation. Every time it took a step, the ground would tremble slightly, showing its powerful strength.

Tang Nian looked at the phantom giant bear that was gradually approaching him, and was stunned for a moment.

She stared with wide eyes in disbelief as the huge creature walked towards her and stretched out a big hairy hand.

Under Qian Shiye's encouraging gaze, Tang Nian hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to stretch out his slender hand, carefully touching the large and thick palm of the Phantom Giant Bear.

The moment the two hands touched each other, a strange and unfamiliar feeling came over me.

The phantom giant bear held Tang Nian's hand and shook it up and down, which was obviously a gesture of friendly communication.

However, even though he had completed the handshake, Tang Nian was still in a dazed and confused state.

After all, for her, being able to shake hands and communicate with the legendary soul beast was simply too unbelievable.

Seeing this scene happening in front of him, Qian Shiye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile, and nodded gently, then said softly, "Xiaobai, go play by yourself first."

As these words fell, Xiaobai turned around obediently and slowly left.

However, what is strange is that although Xiaobai's body has started to move, its eyes remain on Tang Nian. Its eyes are full of deep reluctance, as if it has thousands of words to say.

Tang Nian was keenly aware of Xiaobai's strange look, and a feeling of doubt arose in his heart.

She always felt that this look was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but no matter how hard she tried to recall, she could not remember when and where she had experienced such a scene.

So, full of curiosity, she turned to look at Qian Shiye beside her and asked, "Shiye, how did you make Xiaobai so obedient and docile?"

Hearing Tang Nian's question, Qian Shiye was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and answered softly, "Actually, compared to us humans, soul beasts have much simpler minds."

"In the inner world of these soul beasts, if they believe that you are a good person, then they will never take the initiative to hurt you. Since I brought Xiaobai back here, I have always taken care of its food and daily life. Over time, it has naturally regarded me as its closest family member."

After listening to Qian Shiye's explanation, Tang Nian nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he could roughly understand the logic behind it.

But then she asked a new question, "But Xiaobai has never met me before, why is it so intimate and friendly to me? Is it so enthusiastic towards every stranger?"

Facing Tang Nian's rapid-fire questions, Qian Shiye gently shook his head and denied, "That's not the case. You have to know that Xiaobai is a member of the Phantom Giant Bear clan. Even after a long period of domestication, the wildness in his bones still exists."

"For most ordinary people, it is difficult to get close to it, let alone get its love and closeness like you. The reason why it shows such a special attitude towards you is very simple - because in its eyes, you are also its family, so how could it possibly attack you?"

Tang Nian turned her head and looked at Qian Shiye in confusion. In fact, she didn't understand what Qian Shiye meant.

"And this is what I have always wanted to do, that humans and soul beasts can coexist peacefully."

Tang Nian sighed, "This is impossible. Soul masters need soul rings. Without soul rings, they will not be able to break through. Therefore, hunting soul beasts is something that soul masters must do throughout their lives."

Qian Shiye nodded, "Nian Nian, I don't deny that what you said makes sense, but I think there must be a solution."

Tang Nian nodded slightly and did not continue to discourage Qian Shiye's enthusiasm, but in fact she was not optimistic about Shiye in her heart.

But imagining a Douluo Continent where humans and soul beasts can coexist peacefully doesn’t seem bad.
