Identity Exposed, Xiao Wu, Please Behave Yourself [4K]
"Wulin...?"
What are you saying?!
Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"I said... you wanted to leave because you were afraid of Elder Venom and Elder Bone, both Titled Douluo."
"Xiao Wu, last time you saw Sword Douluo, you left because you were afraid of his Titled Douluo cultivation, right?"
Tang Wulin looked at the girl in front of him, his face showing little emotion, and smiled slightly.
"I..."
However, it was precisely these simple words of his that completely stunned Xiao Wu, leaving her speechless.
It felt like the other person had seen everything about me...
No, it's even more serious than being seen naked. After all, Wulin is no ordinary person, so let's leave that aside for now.
You should know that her true identity is Soul Beast!
Could it be...?
What does Wulin already know?
No wonder...
At that moment, Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, as if she had just realized something. She wondered why none of the three Titled Douluos she had encountered had captured her; could it all be because of Wulin...?
After all, the other party was the Spirit Hall Holy Son.
The future heir to the Pope of the Spirit Hall can be said to be second only to the Pope, and once he inherits the Pope's throne, he will be the most powerful person in the world.
"Wulin, you know something, right?"
She gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on the person in front of her, and couldn't help but ask, though deep down she still held onto a sliver of hope.
No way...
Wulin, it can't be what she thinks, right?
"I know."
However, Tang Wulin nodded and said slowly.
"..."
Xiao Wu's face froze instantly, her little face looking slightly blank and cute, and she silently lowered her head.
Spicy meatballs.
Thoroughly spicy.
"Xiao Wu, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"The two elders can't hear us, so don't worry, it's just me communicating with you."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Tang Wulin clearly didn't want her to be drenched in sweat, and indicated that she could relax.
"Um..."
Xiao Wu responded, but her emotions at that moment were clearly not something that could be soothed by a simple word from the other party.
She panicked.
Not only were Wulin and Rongrong, who were beside him, both Titled Douluo, but the person in front of him also recognized his identity.
So she can still pursue him...
Can she still be good friends with him?
That was just the smallest question. Her biggest question was, now that they knew her identity, would they want her to become their Soul Ring or Soul Bone...?
"Wulin, I'm so sorry..."
"I am not human."
Then, helplessly, she raised her head, her eyes darting away as she looked at the person in front of her, like a child who had done something wrong, and pursed her lips.
She decided to be direct after all.
After all, this was a topic that could not be avoided at all. She had long thought about talking to Wulin about it, but it was definitely not, and should not be, today.
Especially since it wasn't something I initiated; the other party directly exposed my mistake...
"I know you are Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit of the Star Dou Great Forest..."
Tang Wulin nodded and responded.
"That's right, I am Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit..."
"When did you find out?"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and nodded.
At that moment, she seemed to have lost all hope and means of survival. All she wanted to know was what awaited her next: death? Imprisonment? Or something else...?
But whatever the reason, her good friendship with the other person has probably come to an end.
"You should know that my Martial Soul is very powerful; it is the lord of a beast race called the Golden Dragon King..."
"From the first day I met you, I sensed a unique aura within you, an aura completely different from any other Beast Martial Soul."
"But if we're talking about when to confirm, it will be when we meet again in Suotuo City."
Tang Wulin spoke slowly and softly.
"Us..."
"When we meet again?"
Xiao Wu was taken aback. So, meeting Wulin actually ruined her future relationship with him...?
"Um."
"The aura and Martial Soul characteristics on your body are remarkably similar to the Soft Bone Rabbit Clan Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, as recorded in the Spirit Hall's records..."
Tang Wulin said calmly that this was not something he made up; the Spirit Hall did indeed have records of the Soft Bone Rabbit lineage, but he didn't know whether it was Xiao Wu's mother or Xiao Wu's father.
"..."
"Is that Mom and Dad...?"
Xiao Wu was taken aback, and couldn't help but mutter to herself that the only true overlords among rabbits in the Star Dou Great Forest were her own parents.
My parents are both dead.
The cause of their death is unknown; all that is known is that they went to the very core of the Star Dou Great Forest and never returned.
"Wulin."
"Do you... still consider me a friend?"
The next moment, she struggled to regain her senses, looked at the person in front of her, and gritted her teeth.
"Um?"
"You mean..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's face flashed with confusion, but then he instantly understood what the other person meant, and a moment of silence settled in his eyes.
He didn't realize that Xiao Wu thought she was going to absorb the right Soul Ring, but he really had no such intention.
"Wulin."
"After all, for you human Soul Masters, the Soul Ring Age is very important, let alone Soul Bones, especially Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."
"If you really need me, I know I have no power to resist, but you are, after all, my best friend."
"Could you be a little gentler then?"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, looked at the person in front of her with gentle eyes, and asked softly.
How humble that tone was.
In fact, she really had no other options left, so how could she resist Wulin's idea?
"Be gentler?"
"If you really want to be my Soul Ring, you can offer yourself as a sacrifice so I can happily acquire my deceased wife's Soul Ring."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin wore a helpless smile and pondered for a moment.
"..."
"Wulin, I can do it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, clearly not expecting Wulin to actually agree, especially so decisively!
Doesn't this mean that Wulin had actually been plotting this for a long time?
"Let me offer myself as a sacrifice..."
Recalling the other person's words, Xiao Wu's face grew increasingly sad, and she finally gritted her teeth!
If she's asked to offer a sacrifice, will she really do it?
Doesn't she have any dignity?
"Fine, I'll give it!"
Finally, she looked into Tang Wulin's eyes, gritted her teeth, and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
If we can help Wulin become a top expert.
So what if she really did offer herself as a sacrifice?
"I have no intention of absorbing your Soul Ring. If Xiao Wu thinks that way, then all my efforts to cover for you have been in vain."
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was both uneasy and obedient, Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh and quickly said...
Could Xiao Wu really think she's going to absorb the other person's Soul Ring?
He admitted that a walking, 100,000-year-old rabbit girl was indeed very attractive, but he still hoped to have a lasting relationship with this first friend he made after arriving in the Douluo Continent.
Okay, it's really just shamelessness.
But no matter how shameless she is, she would never do something as blatant as reviving her lover through a supposedly deceased wife's Soul Ring.
"It's been covered up?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was visibly taken aback, a look of confusion on her face. If Wulin had said he was taking the blame for her, she wouldn't have been so shocked.
But what does it mean to cover it up?
"My Martial Soul has the ability to conceal the aura of other beast races. I don't know about your years in Nuoding City, but..."
"From the moment I entered Suotuo City, your beastman aura has been completely concealed. Not even a human, let alone Soul Beast, would recognize you."
"Unless they are of a higher bloodline than mine, but as of now, there is none in this world."
Tang Wulin's expression remained calm as he spoke as if he were stating a blunt truth, but in reality...
Talking nonsense with a straight face.
However, it's not entirely like that. After all, the ability to conceal one's aura is real. With the Unlimited-Duration Concealment given by the system, Xiao Wu's aura is so strong that it's hard to distinguish her from Titled Douluo, let alone a human or a beast.
Even if a god were to come, she would only be seen as an ordinary human little girl.
"Ah...?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was taken aback, clearly having taken the other person's words to heart, and at the same time, she pondered for a moment.
I can't believe this happened!
That means...
For a moment, Xiao Wu couldn't help but think of her experience a few days ago, when she had just returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Previously, because of the connection between Soul Beasts, she thought that with Da Ming Er Ming's cultivation levels, they should definitely be able to sense her aura, however...
If they hadn't run into Er Ming, who was playing in the outer forest, the two of them probably would have had a very hard time seeing her.
So that's where the problem lay!
It turns out that he had escaped death right under Sword Douluo's nose, and that Dugu Bo Gu Rong hadn't been discovered even though they were right in front of Titled Douluos. It wasn't that those three were blind.
Rather, it's that she truly won't be discovered.
"Wulin, you..."
"They actually did all this for me."
Xiao Wu snapped out of her daze, her gaze falling on the person in front of her.
She found it hard to imagine that, after learning his identity, Wulin not only didn't absorb the Soul Rings and Soul Bones, but also revealed his identity to the Titled Douluo...
Instead, they protected themselves.
Even someone as somewhat naive as her had never considered this before, given the deep-rooted antagonism between humans and Soul Beasts. Wulin actually managed to hold back.
"After all, we're friends."
"Doing all this for you is nothing, but Xiao Wu won't have to hide in the Star Dou Great Forest anymore."
"Afterwards, perhaps you can return to the Spirit Hall with me, Zhu Zhuqing, and Rongrong. Now that you've transformed into human form, you naturally can't stay in the forest any longer."
"Cultivate diligently alongside them; they really like you as a friend."
Tang Wulin earnestly advised, "If the other party were to suddenly disappear again someday, that would be very bad."
"I..."
"So that's what Wulin wanted to say?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the person in front of her with embarrassment, her tone shy and awkward.
She figured it out.
Wulin's visit this time was not meant to upset her, but rather for her own good, as there were better resources available in Spirit City.
"That's natural."
"After all, someone left without a word. If you had stayed a little longer, Xiao Wu, I would have had time to explain all this to you."
"We mustn't let that happen again."
Tang Wulin smiled helplessly, though he was also partly to blame for not speaking up sooner.
"I..."
I won't do those stupid things again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's face immediately turned red. What he said was true. If she hadn't run away back then, she would have known what Wulin was talking about long ago!
She's such an idiot!
"That's all, Xiao Wu, let's go out..."
After saying this, Tang Wulin ended the conversation, clearly having nothing more to say, and then headed out of the room.
Before he could take a few steps, a pair of soft wings hugged him from behind, and Tang Wulin could even hear the other's tense breathing.
"Wulin, don't go yet."
"I..."
There's something else I want to tell you.
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said, her face flushed.
At this moment, she was clearly too shy to express herself, but now that she no longer needed to worry about the risk of her identity being discovered, she could start thinking more about herself...
Wulin, she's determined to have him!
"Go ahead and say it."
Tang Wulin responded, but sensing the other person's sudden movement, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Xiao Wu..."
He's a straightforward guy too.
"I used to be Soul Beast, but now I'm human."
"Wulin, you're a human being too, so what I want to ask you is, what do you think...?"
What kind of person am I?
Xiao Wu blushed and said in a trembling voice.
She knew that Zhu Zhuqing was now with Wulin, but she wouldn't let Wulin off the hook so easily. She wouldn't let go of any opportunity, no matter how small.
"You're a good child who admits and corrects their mistakes."
Tang Wulin looked at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Wu is a good child."
When they first arrived at the Nuoding Academy, the other side didn't even have blankets. Their first reaction was to pick up an unused blanket, which meant that they picked up Tang San's blanket after it was thrown on the ground and took it for themselves.
But later she learned what monetary transactions were, and borrowed money from her to buy a quilt.
"Return..."
"Anything else?"
Xiao Wu happily agreed. Although she felt the evaluation was a bit hasty, she wasn't in a bad mood and continued to ask.
"Quite cute."
Tang Wulin paused for a moment before speaking.
Really?
Xiao Wu's lips curled into a beautiful smile.
She doesn't think she's cute at all; if Wulin says that, she must be very important to him!
"Yes, really."
"Hehe, I know, let's go."
Having received the feedback she expected, Xiao Wu smiled sweetly and said softly, indicating her intention to go out with the other person.
"Okay..."
"Wulin, Xiao Wu, you're back."
At the entrance, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had been holding back for who knows how long. Looking in the direction the two had appeared, the former couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing."
"Well... I'm also planning to go to the academy in Spirit City with you guys!"
Xiao Wu chuckled and said frankly.
"Uh-huh?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart. Rongrong alone was already giving her a headache, and now there was Xiao Wu too?
Xiao Wu, you'd better have some self-respect!
