New Identity

After Di Tian went into seclusion, An Ping and Gu Yuena met with the Myriad Demon King, the Red King, and the demon spirits. They instructed the Myriad Demon King to go to the Ice and Fire Eyes to cultivate, as it was a place where plant-based soul beasts could practice more efficiently. The Myriad Demon King agreed without hesitation, trusting An Ping and Gu Yuena's arrangements and curious about the mysterious location.

Then An Ping and Gu Yuena left the Dragon Valley plane. This time, they only brought Mr. Xiong and Bi Ji with them. As for Zi Ji, Chi Wang, and the demon spirit, they ordered them to calm the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

The soul beasts were still very sensitive after the sudden change of environment. Most of them had low cultivation levels and were not used to the new surroundings. They needed reassurance and guidance.

An Ping and Gu Yuena also gave them another task: to identify the talented soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest and bring them to the core area for intensive training.

When An Ping and Gu Yuena returned to the previous island, Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan's family greeted them eagerly. Le Zhengyu said with a mock complaint: "You're finally back. I thought you were going to starve us to death on this island!"

An Ping knew that Le Zhengyu was just joking and trying to lighten the mood. He smiled and said: "Sorry, we took longer than expected. But we have a surprise for you and Xiaoyan."

At the mention of a surprise, Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu's eyes lit up. They had been constantly amazed by An Ping and Gu Yuena since they followed them. First, they had received skills and tools to enhance their cultivation, and then they had obtained the holy sword and mirror, which were even more useful than the Battle Armour. They wondered what else An Ping and Gu Yuena had in store for them.

Xu Xiaoyan clung to Gu Yuena's arm and asked sweetly: "Sister Nana, can you tell us what the surprise is?"

Xu Xiaoyan's brother Xu Xiaoyu and her parents also looked curious. They knew Xu Xiaoyan better than anyone. Her excitement showed that the surprise was not something ordinary.

Then there was Lin Qing. He had watched An Ping grow up, but he never imagined that he would become so powerful and find a girlfriend who could transform into a soul beast.

Gu Yuena caressed Xu Xiaoyan's hair and said with a smile: "A surprise is only a surprise if you don't know it beforehand. You'll find out soon enough. The most important thing now is your identity and Uncle Lin Qing's."

At the mention of identity, Xu Xiaoyan's family and Lin Qing became nervous. They were happy to be here, but they only wanted An Ping, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others to be safe.

They knew that returning to human society might be a burden for them, but they didn't want to live off An Ping and Gu Yuena's generosity. They also needed their help to improve their cultivation.

An Ping didn't beat around the bush and said: "You don't have to worry about your identity. The demon spirit has taken care of it. I'll take you to Mingdu later, but you must remember not to reveal who you really are."

They all nodded. They had learned from Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu what An Ping and Gu Yuena had done, and they understood the gravity of the situation. They didn't want to live off their generosity, nor did they want to put them in danger.

An Ping handed out the ID cards that the demon spirit had prepared for them. These ID cards had real backups in the federation. They were the identities that Di Tian and the others used to walk in human society. After all, Di Tian and the others couldn't show their true selves.

"Here are your options," An Ping said after giving them the ID cards. "You can either find a new job on your own after I take you to Mingdu, or you can join the company that's on your ID card."

Xu Xiaoyu looked at his ID card and asked, "What's the difference? Which one is safer? And how do we deal with our martial souls and appearances?"

He was obviously worried about their safety. Tang Clan and Shrek Academy were powerful forces. He didn't want to be caught by them.

An Ping knew his concerns and said, "Don't worry. These identities have been around for a long time, and they're not just names in this company. This company is under our control. You won't be discovered. But if you prefer to find your own job, that's fine too."

"As for your martial souls and appearances, you don't have to worry either. Nana and I will help you change them later. It doesn't matter if you stay in this company or not, but I suggest you don't stick together, especially you three." He gestured to Xu Xiaoyu and his parents.

He wanted them to split up because he was afraid they would be recognized as a family. It was a temporary measure.

Xu Xiaoyu nodded and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, you can stay in this company. I'll find another job."

Xu Xiaoyan's parents agreed. They had talked to Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu and they knew that An Ping and Gu Yuena were extraordinary. They trusted their judgment.

An Ping said, "You don't have to rush to decide. Just go with the flow when you get to Mingdu. Nana and I will help you hide your identities later."

He took Gu Yuena's hand and fused with her. He changed their auras first, then let Gu Yuena change their martial souls. She knew more about martial arts than he did.

When they were done, they unfused. An Ping took out some props and gave them to them. He said, "Keep these with you. They'll prevent anyone from sensing you, unless they're gods."

He gave them the props to interfere with Tang Hao and Ah Yin's perception. He wasn't afraid of them coming after them in person, because he thought they would be too busy with the abyss and the search for the continent.

They took the props and looked at each other. They felt different, just like An Ping had said. Their appearances, auras, and spirits had changed completely.

An Ping, Gu Yuena, and Lin Qing moved away to talk, while Xu Xiaoyan bid farewell to her brother, parents, and the others. Then An Ping and Gu Yuena took them to Mingdu, where Di Tian had set up a company for them.
