"What is that thing?"

When Wang Dong saw Li Changsheng return with a medicine bottle in hand, he immediately became interested despite having been about to go to sleep.

Though he did not know what it contained, he could be certain it was no ordinary item. After all, he was the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, and both his knowledge and discernment were first-rate.

"Oh, this? It's nothing. Someone gave it to me."

Li Changsheng handed over the Golden Soul Card, then poured the Soul Ascension Pills from the bottle under Wang Dong's watchful gaze.

"Someone gave them to you? But why do these look so familiar to me?"

Wang Dong narrowed his eyes. After carefully sensing them for a moment, he seemed to recall something. His expression changed drastically, his pupils shrank, and even his words became hesitant. "Th-this is a Soul Ascension Pill! Where did you get it?"

"Didn't I just tell you? Someone gave it to me."

Li Changsheng glanced at Wang Dong as though he were an idiot and asked, "What, do you want one?"

"Can I?"

Wang Dong's eyes lit up. With the help of a Soul Ascension Pill, he could raise his Soul Power from level twenty-one to level twenty-two, perhaps even level twenty-three, in just one night.

"No," Li Changsheng replied, shaking his head.

Wang Dong's face immediately darkened. "Then why the hell did you even bring it up? Are you messing with me?"

"How about you beg me? Maybe if my heart softens, I'll give one to you."

Li Changsheng smiled.

Although Soul Ascension Pills were indeed valuable in the world of Douluo Continent, he had the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable in his mind.

The pills that old master refined would be considered supreme even in the Primordial World, where True Immortals were everywhere and Great Luo Immortals walked the streets.

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Wang Dong looked suspicious, clearly unconvinced.

"You won't know unless you try," Li Changsheng coaxed.

"True!"

After thinking it over and finding that it made sense, Wang Dong got up and walked over to Li Changsheng. He extended his fair right hand and said, "Then can you give me the Soul Ascension Pill?"

"Is that how you beg someone?"

Li Changsheng froze. How was that any different from directly asking for it—no, robbing him blind?

"What's wrong with that?"

Wang Dong asked in confusion, "Don't tell me you expect me to kneel down and kowtow to you too!"

"Well, that wouldn't be impossible!" Li Changsheng grinned, his immortal-like face full of temptation.

If he could make the daughter of a God King kneel and kowtow to an ordinary commoner like himself, it would feel incredible.

But that was simply impossible!

"Get lost!"

Sure enough, Wang Dong's expression immediately turned ugly. He said angrily, "Forget it if you won't give it to me. It's not like I'm dying to have your Soul Ascension Pill!"

"How about this? Call me Dad one more time."

Feeling that he had gone a little too far, Li Changsheng changed his demand. "You called me that before anyway, so one more time won't make a difference, right?"

"That was an accident! I wasn't in my right state, and I didn't call you that on purpose!" Wang Dong retorted.

"Fine, fine, it was an accident. You weren't in your right state. Happy now?"

Li Changsheng shrugged and replied dismissively before asking, "Are you sure you won't say it? Don't forget, it's just the two of us here. No one else will hear you. Since that's the case, what difference does it make whether you say it once or twice?"

"Of course it makes a difference! I just can't say it!"

Wang Dong crossed his arms and turned his head aside, making it clear that he would not agree no matter what.

"How about we make a bet?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Changsheng decided to take a different approach.

"What kind of bet?" Though Wang Dong was wary and confused, he still wanted to know what Li Changsheng had in mind.

"I just want to ask you one thing. Do you want me to call you Dad and get revenge for that night?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Of course I do. What, has your conscience finally kicked in? Are you planning to call me Dad too?" Wang Dong asked with a smile.

Though he was actually a girl, what did it matter whether he was called Dad or Mom when it came to taking advantage of someone?

Besides, it did not look like Li Changsheng necessarily meant right now.

"You're overthinking it!"

Li Changsheng rolled his eyes and explained, "What I mean is, you call me Dad tonight. Then, as long as you beat me once in any of our future matches, I'll call you Dad in return. I'll even say it ten times if you want. How about it?"

"You're being this kind-hearted? Why does it feel like you're trying to trick me?" Wang Dong frowned, looking doubtful.

"Is there no trust left between people anymore?"

Li Changsheng looked hurt. "We're roommates—roommates! Shouldn't you trust me, and I trust you?"

"Do you even believe that yourself?" Wang Dong gave a soft laugh and asked disdainfully.

"Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Li Changsheng could not be bothered to continue talking to him. "If you're scared and think you'll never beat me in your life, then just admit defeat now. In that case, I might still give you this Soul Ascension Pill. After all, I don't want to go outside and hear people saying that you're holding me back!"

"I'm holding you back? I'm scared? I'll never beat you?"

Wang Dong was so angry that he nearly laughed. In a heated rush, he nodded and agreed. "Fine, fine, fine, Li Changsheng. I agree to this bet. Just wait and see how I surpass you someday and make you call me Dad wholeheartedly!"

Not for anything else, but to avenge that night. Even if he could not win bread, he had to win his pride!

"Then say it. Let me see just how much potential you have for the future!" Li Changsheng said.

"Dad!"

The moment Wang Dong said it, he felt as though he had fallen for a trap. But with his Twin Martial Souls and cultivation talent, how could he possibly lose to Li Changsheng in the future?

What a joke!

Besides, it was not as though they could only compete once. He had countless chances to fail, while Li Changsheng could not lose even once.

"Good boy!" Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Give it to me!"

Wang Dong forcefully suppressed the anger and discomfort in his heart and extended his right hand again.
