Xiao Wu Breaks Down? Bunnies Are So Cute, How Could You Eat a Bunny!

"Whoosh!"

A Sleeve Arrow shot out with a whistle, striking Yu Xiaogang in the buttocks in an instant.

"Aaah!!"

Yu Xiaogang sprang up from the bushes.

Clutching his bleeding backside, he cursed as he ran.

"You... you two actually dared attack an academy teacher!"

"When I get back, I'll make sure the dean deals with you two!"

Yu Xiaogang's bedraggled figure ran farther and farther away.

Watching him leave, Tang San suddenly asked, "Are we really going to let him go back and tell the dean?"

"He may be on good terms with the dean, but do you think the dean would believe him about something like this?"

Yu Fan spoke with a look of disdain.

"Even if the dean really does come to deal with us, a mere Soul Ancestor can't do anything to me."

A mere Soul Ancestor...

Listening to Yu Fan, Tang San thought about how the dean was a four-ring powerhouse.

Even if he built a Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he probably wouldn't be able to kill a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

Unless he used specially made crossbow bolts and launched a sneak attack...

Perhaps only then could he kill one in a single blow.

"He can call a Soul Ancestor 'mere.' It looks like Yu Fan's true cultivation is probably even higher than a Soul Ancestor's."

Tang San recalled how Yu Fan had just unleashed a Way of Jin and Che and directly maimed the Mandala Snake.

Could that Way of Jin and Che have been Yu Fan's Soul Skill?

But how come Yu Fan didn't have any Soul Rings...

Surely such a terrifying move couldn't be anything other than a Soul Skill?

"It would be a shame to waste such good spicy Soft Bone Rabbit, though. We can't finish it, but we can't just leave it here, can we?"

"Why don't we take it back and share it with Wang Sheng and the others in the dorm, so they can have a taste?"

Tang San's thrifty, household-managing personality had been triggered.

He said he wanted to take the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit back to the academy to share.

"Take it back to the academy... uh, sure, I guess."

Yu Fan thought for a moment and decided it would work.

That meant Tang San would have to carry it back with Blue Silver Grass all the way.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Nuoding Academy, Dorm Seven.

A Yellow Soul Ring slowly lit up beneath Tang San's feet. It came from the four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake he had absorbed earlier, and the Soul Skill it brought him was an exceptionally powerful control-type move.

Its name was Blue Silver Entanglement.

Several strands of Blue Silver Grass as thick as hemp rope were tightly binding a spicy Soft Bone Rabbit in his hands.

Behind him, Yu Fan swaggered into Dorm Seven.

"Morning, guys."

As the two appeared,

Wang Sheng and the others, still groggy from waking up, caught the scent of roasted meat.

The work-study students climbed out of bed and gathered around Tang San.

"Whoa, what's that smell? It smells amazing!"

"Tang San, where did you get something so tasty? No wonder you were nowhere to be seen all day yesterday..."

"Wait... what's that beneath Tang San's feet?"

"A Ten-Year Soul Ring should be white, shouldn't it? Why is his yellow?"

"Holy crap, could that yellow Soul Ring be the legendary Hundred-Year Soul Ring?!"

"..."

Looking at the Hundred-Year Soul Ring beneath Tang San's feet,

the others were dumbstruck.

Tang San said modestly,

"Yu Fan went with me to the Soul Hunting Forest yesterday. That's where I got this Soul Ring. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Yu Fan."

Hearing Tang San's account, the work-study students looked at the tall, imposing Yu Fan in astonishment.

They had known Yu Fan was strong...

But none of them had imagined he was strong enough to tear a Hundred-Year Soul Beast apart with his bare hands.

Was that really something a human could do?

Wang Sheng said with an admiring look,

"Godfather, when I break through and become a Soul Master, can you take me to the Soul Hunting Forest to get a Soul Ring too? The academy will make arrangements, but I want a Hundred-Year Soul Ring too..."

He abruptly dropped to his knees before Yu Fan and hugged his leg.

"Please, you must accept my kneecaps!"

Looking at the comical Wang Sheng, Yu Fan picked him up with one hand.

"Sure, sure."

He wasn't a stingy person. Besides, Soul Hunting was as easy as waving a hand for him.

Since Wang Sheng had already called him godfather, what harm was there in helping him out?

Besides...

He had an Anywhere Door now.

"Boss, does that mean you agree?"

Wang Sheng looked delighted.

"More or less."

Yu Fan let go of Wang Sheng.

"Come find me when you break through and become a Soul Master."

Wang Sheng said gratefully,

"I'll go through fire and boiling water for you, boss!"

With that, he scampered off to cultivate.

Just then,

"Hmph."

A soft snort came from somewhere.

Yu Fan turned and saw Xiao Wu staring at him with her cheeks puffed out.

She looked at him as though he were a giant carrot.

As if the next second...

Xiao Wu would pounce on him and take a bite.

Wait, what? Why is she still angry...

This roast rabbit sure holds a grudge!

"Strange. Did any of you just hear something?"

Yu Fan pretended he hadn't heard.

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and said,

"No."

Seeing Yu Fan ignore her,

Xiao Wu's face turned red with anger.

She said, somewhat angrily,

"Brother Fan, why did you leave yesterday without even saying a word?"

Hearing that, Yu Fan understood that Xiao Wu wasn't angry about the other day.

It turned out she was blaming him for not telling her he was going out.

"Wasn't it because I couldn't find your class?"

Hearing Yu Fan's lame excuse, Xiao Wu pouted.

"All right, but you have to tell me next time."

After all, she and Tang San were in the same class; her seat was just farther toward the back.

That day, she had seen Yu Fan carry Tang San out and thought he was going to beat him up.

Who would have known he was taking Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest?

"I definitely will next time."

"Then I forgive you."

Xiao Wu lifted her little face with a proud air.

She soon stopped being angry.

Yu Fan couldn't help sighing...

"She's so easy to coax when she's got a love brain."

Xiao Wu smelled the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit and walked over to Tang San, looking at the thing wrapped in Blue Silver Grass.

She asked curiously,

"Huh? Tang San, what have you got in there? Why does it smell so good..."

Tang San answered offhandedly,

"Some game we caught in the Soul Hunting Forest."

He found a table and put the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit on it.

Wang Sheng and the others gathered around.

The Blue Silver Grass wrapping slowly opened, revealing the spicy Soft Bone Rabbit inside, roasted crisp on the outside and tender within, with plenty of cumin and chili powder sprinkled over it.

For some reason, the more Xiao Wu looked at the spicy meat on the bones, the more familiar it seemed, especially that big head...

No matter how she looked at it, she thought it looked a little like one of her own kind.

"Th-this... why does it look a bit like a Soft Bone Rabbit?"

Tang San nodded.

"That's right, it's called a Soft Bone Rabbit! Xiao Wu, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable..."

"I suppose the teacher must have just taught you about it."

But after Tang San finished speaking,

Xiao Wu's expression gradually darkened, and she instinctively took two steps back.

She pointed at Tang San and couldn't help saying,

"Y-you... how could you do this!"

"Bunnies are so cute! How could you eat a bunny?!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's baffling words,

Tang San remembered that Xiao Wu's Martial Soul seemed to be a Soft Bone Rabbit.

He comforted her.

"Oh, it is pretty cute!"

"But it tastes even better!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. Even though your Martial Soul is a Soft Bone Rabbit, we definitely won't eat you."

"If you don't believe me, try this Soft Bone Rabbit. It's seriously delicious!"

"There's just one top-quality big rabbit leg left..."

Before Tang San could finish,

Xiao Wu lashed out with a kick at his face.

"Tang San, fuck your mother!"
