"No, don't, Third Brother, don't!"
At Peach Blossom Spring Academy, in the middle of the night, Xiao Wu woke from a nightmare on her bed.
In the dream, she was running madly down a village path, burning away her origin, while Tang Hao and Tang San chased after her from behind.
Several Godly Zhuge Crossbows blocked her way, and Tang San used a Sleeve Arrow to wound her leg... For Xiao Wu, nothing was more terrifying than that scene...
Third Brother was the only person she could rely on after entering the human world. The rabbit did not know whether that was love or kinship. In any case, it seemed that at his side, she could feel a sense of safety.
But that sense of safety had been shattered this time.
Not even in her dreams had she dared imagine that Third Brother, because of a single word from his father, would point his Hidden Weapon at her...
"Teacher Su... Su Ran..."
"Teacher Su Ran, I... I have nothing left..."
"Third Brother's Father saw through my identity. He wanted to imprison me and stop me from coming to find you. He... he wanted me to become Third Brother's Soul Ring."
The instant Xiao Wu woke with a start, she looked at Su Ran through tear-blurred eyes.
"Teacher Su Ran, I... I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who has Shapeshifted into a person... You must want to kill me too, right?"
"I'd rather die by your hand and become your Soul Ring. That way, I could be with you forever."
"Before you do it, could you... let me... look at you one more time?"
"Sigh."
Su Ran sighed. Though he had long anticipated that Tang Hao might already know Little Rabbit's identity, he had not expected things to develop to this point.
