Xiao Wu watched Fei's puzzled expression. A flicker of gratitude rose in her heart, followed by an immense sense of loss.
"I'll only tell you. Come with me," Xiao Wu said, pulling Fei away under Shiyun's astonished gaze.
"Headmaster, I'll leave you to clean up this mess," Fei called back.
"Xiao Wu, what exactly are you hiding? And what does Soul Beast Transformation mean?"
That was what puzzled Fei.
And after this incident, he decided to read one book a year!
"Soul Beast Transformation... Soul Beast Transformation means..."
Xiao Wu lifted her eyes to glance at Fei, then immediately lowered her head again.
"Just say it already! You're killing me here!" Fei scratched his head helplessly.
"Soul Beast Transformation means that I was originally a Soul Beast. When my cultivation reached a hundred thousand years, I transformed into a human," Xiao Wu said timidly.
"You were originally... a Soul Beast?" Fei's pupils widened slightly as he stared at Xiao Wu in shock.
Why did that sound like she was some kind of demon?
And a hundred thousand years?
"You lived for a hundred thousand years!"
Fei swallowed, his scalp tingling.
"My god!"
"You're not some kind of demon, are you?"
Seeing Fei's shocked expression, Xiao Wu shook her head and said,
"It means my cultivation reached the level of a human Titled Douluo."
"Although I haven't lived for a hundred thousand years, I've still lived for over ten thousand."
"That still makes you a demon!" Fei's mouth twitched.
"What demon?! I'm a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Incarnation! I was originally a Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit!" Xiao Wu argued.
"What's the difference? You're still a demon!" Fei said matter-of-factly.
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!" Xiao Wu turned away.
"To think that I, Fei, would actually get to see a demon in my lifetime. What an eye-opener!" Fei stared blankly at Xiao Wu's back, still deeply shocked.
"Xiao Wu, since you said you originally had the strength of a Titled Douluo, why did you look so weak just now?" Fei asked doubtfully.
"When Soul Beasts transform into humans, they must disperse all their cultivation and start over. So right now, I'm only a level thirty-one Soul Elder," Xiao Wu explained softly.
"Then right now... are you human or a Soul Beast?" Fei asked curiously.
This didn't sound much like the demons from legends.
She was nowhere near Bai Suzhen.
"A Soul Beast Transformation can only truly become human after breaking through level seventy. Before level seventy, I still retain Soul Beast traits. If I'm killed, I can still yield a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone," Xiao Wu said somewhat wistfully.
A relieved smile appeared on her face.
"So that's how it is... Before reaching level seventy Soul Sage, you may have a human body, but you still retain the special traits of a Soul Beast. Once you reach level seventy, you'll become a true human," Fei murmured.
"I'm curious. Why would you go out of your way to disperse all your power and transform into a human?" Fei asked.
"Because my mother transformed into a human, so I wanted to transform too! I like being human, okay?!" Xiao Wu suddenly became unreasonable.
"Come to think of it, I've known you for so long, but I've never met your parents. Are your parents both rabbits?" Fei asked with a smile.
"They're Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbits, not ordinary rabbits!" Xiao Wu snapped angrily, as though he had struck a sore spot.
"Fine, fine, Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbits... I get it," Fei said perfunctorily.
"My father left my mother and me a very, very long time ago, and he never came back. My mother was also killed by a woman when she went out once," Xiao Wu said in an extremely calm tone.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked," Fei said awkwardly, scratching his head.
"Forget it." Xiao Wu sniffled twice and rubbed the tip of her nose. "Now that you know almost everything, shouldn't you make a decision?"
"Make a decision? What decision?" Fei asked, utterly confused.
"Hey! I'm a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast! Kill me, and you can obtain a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
"Besides, didn't you see how those two Titled Douluos nearly fought over me just now? Aren't you tempted at all?"
The more Xiao Wu spoke, the more worked up she became. She even started poking Fei's chest with her finger.
"Go cool off somewhere else! I'm not interested in you!" Fei said with a disgusted look.
If a Soul Beast rabbit had been standing before him, he could have killed it without the slightest hesitation.
But now,
Xiao Wu already had a human form.
To him, wasn't she simply a human?
Besides, were a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone really that impressive?
Tang Hao had a 100,000-Year Soul Ring too, yet he didn't seem all that formidable!
"You jerk, A Fei! Are you looking down on me?" Xiao Wu felt both angry and warm inside.
"It's not that I'm looking down on you. I just think that you're already human now. And I, Fei, won't kill people for no reason," Fei said calmly, turning to the side.
"So that's it..." Realization dawned in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"By the way, if you're already human, why can they still recognize that you underwent a Soul Beast Transformation?" Fei increasingly understood the importance of knowledge.
"That's because I haven't concealed the Soul Beast aura on my body. Any Soul Master at Soul Douluo level or above can see my true identity. Only when my cultivation reaches level sixty Soul Emperor can I conceal my Soul Beast aura," Xiao Wu explained.
"Hiss! That's pretty complicated!" Fei raised his brows and asked, "So where did you live before entering the human world?"
"In the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, there's a Lake of Life. My mother and I used to live there. I also have two little brothers. One is a Sky Azure Bull Python, whom my mother named Da Ming. The other is a Titan Giant Ape, whom my mother named Er Ming," Xiao Wu said with a light smile.
"Sky Azure Bull Python? Titan Giant Ape?"
Fei rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Why is there both a snake and a monkey? You and your mother were really something, becoming friends with a snake and a monkey."
"You really are an idiot. The moment you left the beginner village that was the Star Dou Great Forest, you ran into Tang Hao, the beginner boss."
"So that means that big bad wolf Tang Hao had already noticed you when you entered Nuoding Academy."
"Tsk, tsk..."
"How was I supposed to know..." Xiao Wu hung her head dejectedly and kept sighing.
"Did that Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape also undergo Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Incarnation?" Fei asked.
"They're only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. They haven't transformed," Xiao Wu said, shaking her head.
"I see..." Fei nodded and asked, "Then are you going to stay at Blazing Fire Academy, or return to your two little brothers?"
"Your identity has already been exposed. If I had to guess, Tang Hao and that old bastard beside Ning Rongrong won't let you off easily."
"Are you driving me away?" Xiao Wu pursed her lips, misery appearing in her eyes.
"I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever, can I? And I can't exactly tie you to myself and take you everywhere I go, right?" Fei said helplessly.
A thief might steal for a thousand days, but no one could guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Sooner or later, the other side would find an opening.
"What you said... makes sense too..."
No matter how reluctant Xiao Wu was,
now that her identity had been exposed, the human world was no longer such an easy place to stay.
"A Fei, Tang Hao is Tang San's father. What if we go to Shrek Academy to find Tang San..."
Before Xiao Wu could finish,
Fei slapped her forehead.
"Did a dog chew up your brain?"
"Or did your cerebellum fail to develop properly when you transformed?"
"How can you even say something that brainless?"
"I'm seriously impressed by you!"
Wow!
In his entire life, Fei had never met a foolish girl like Xiao Wu!
How could someone be this stupid?
"Aren't Tang San and I classmates?" Xiao Wu felt that she wasn't wrong.
