"Heh, I haven't even started teaching you a lesson, and you're already daring to show murderous intent toward me, Tang San! You've got some nerve!"
Although the murderous intent in Tang San's eyes was extremely well concealed, it had not escaped Yao Xuan's notice!
Yao Xuan merely gave a disdainful smile.
A mere Little Scumbag dared to show murderous intent toward him?
Did he have any idea what death looked like?
Of course, Yao Xuan didn't plan to kill Tang San so soon and let him get off that easily.
Just as with Yu Xiaogang, Yao Xuan was determined to make him suffer endlessly, wishing he were dead but unable to die. That was the only way to satisfy his anger!
For instance, he could make Tang San just like Yu Xiaogang, turning him into a eunuch and stripping him of his manhood forever.
Or he could summon She Po, Chao Tianxiang, and make her do certain unspeakable things with Tang San.
In short, at Yao Xuan's hands, Tang San would come to feel that simply living each day was torture!
"All right, Yao Xuan. Please find a seat."
Just then, the teacher told Yao Xuan to sit down.
At the teacher's words, Yao Xuan walked straight to the seat beside Xiao Wu and sat down without hesitation.
If any other student had tried to sit with Xiao Wu, she would have flatly refused.
That was why the seats on either side of Xiao Wu were always empty.
It wasn't that no one wanted to sit beside her.
It was just that Xiao Wu had beaten away anyone who tried to get close.
But when Yao Xuan sat down beside her, Xiao Wu not only had no objections, she was excited, and her heart even began to beat faster.
After all, having seen Yao Xuan's Martial Soul, Xiao Wu had long suspected that he might belong to the Soul Beast Clan—and might even be the exalted Emperor Auspicious Beast!
Besides, Yao Xuan's looks and bearing had both captivated Xiao Wu at once.
With Yao Xuan approaching her of his own accord, Xiao Wu was too happy to refuse.
"Hmph, damn it!"
Seeing Yao Xuan sit beside Xiao Wu, Tang San felt a tightness in his chest, as if Yao Xuan had taken something precious from him.
After seeing Yao Xuan's Martial Soul, Tang San had already developed a deep hostility toward him.
Now, Tang San's hostility toward Yao Xuan had reached a whole new level!
If they hadn't been in class, he would have gone after Yao Xuan immediately!
Time flew by, and soon the morning was over.
"You ten-thousand-year-old bunny, you're far too careless!"
"Don't you know you've already become prey?"
"If you don't want to become someone's Soul Ring or Spirit Bone, follow me!"
Just as Xiao Wu was about to stand and head to the cafeteria, a stern voice suddenly rang in her ear!
"Who could it be? Could it be the Auspicious Beast?"
Hearing someone expose her identity, Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes!
But she quickly realized that the mysterious voice warning her was probably a friend, not an enemy.
Thinking of Yao Xuan, who had suddenly transferred into her class, Xiao Wu formed a theory.
It seemed she had guessed right: Yao Xuan really was the Auspicious Beast, and he really had come because of her!
At the thought, Xiao Wu was deeply moved, and her fondness for Yao Xuan soared!
Still, she was curious. She had already transformed and hidden herself so well—why had the Auspicious Beast said she had become prey?
Full of questions, Xiao Wu hurried to her feet and followed Yao Xuan to an uninhabited spot in the back hills of Nuoding Academy.
"You knew to follow me. Looks like you're not too stupid after all, little bunny! I've concealed our auras, so you're safe for now!"
Looking at Xiao Wu, Yao Xuan nodded. With a thought, he activated Stealth and concealed their auras.
"I, Xiao Wu of the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Clan, pay my respects to the Auspicious Beast!"
At Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu quickly dropped to one knee and gave him the formal salute a subordinate gave a master.
"All right, Xiao Wu. Get up."
Looking at Xiao Wu kneeling before him, Yao Xuan smiled faintly. He took her soft, delicate hand and helped her to her feet.
"Thank you, Auspicious Beast! But you said I've become prey. May I ask how I was exposed? And who is hunting me?"

Beside Yao Xuan, sensing his presence, Xiao Wu felt utterly relaxed and comfortable. She thanked him, then asked her questions curiously.
"Hmph, and you're asking me?"
"After a Soul Beast undergoes Shape-Shifting, it remains in its juvenile stage until it reaches level sixty. If a Titled Douluo sees you, they can see through your identity. Didn't your elders teach you that before you transformed?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Yao Xuan deliberately snorted and replied sternly.
"I'm sorry, Auspicious Beast. My elders died in an accident before I transformed. I had no choice but to transform."
At Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu lowered her head and spoke timidly. Her voice carried a hint of a sob, as if she had remembered her parents' faces.
"I see!"
"No wonder you were foolish enough to enter human society and become prey!"
"I'm sorry. I touched a sore spot."
"Come on, don't cry."
Yao Xuan's expression turned apologetic. He reached out and gently stroked Xiao Wu's soft, fair cheek, wiping away her tears himself.
"Mm, Auspicious Beast."
With Yao Xuan's gentle touch, Xiao Wu's sorrow gradually eased, and she slowly calmed down.
"In that case, since you have no other family, I'll do you the favor of taking you in as my sworn younger sister. What do you say?"
Looking at Xiao Wu, Yao Xuan smiled faintly and spoke.
"R-really, Auspicious Beast?"
The happiness came so suddenly that Xiao Wu's body trembled with excitement. Her voice shook as she asked.
"Of course."
"Seeing you like this, I can't help but feel sorry for you."
"Besides, though I can save you this time, you're so clueless that someone will target you again sooner or later. You'll be safer by my side."
Yao Xuan smiled brightly.
"Th-thank you so much, Auspicious Beast!"
After Yao Xuan confirmed it, Xiao Wu was overwhelmed with excitement. Most of her sorrow vanished, and she smiled through her tears.
She had never expected to have the chance to become the Auspicious Beast's sworn younger sister!
This was such a wonderful thing!
"Are you still going to call me Auspicious Beast, Xiao Wu?"
Hearing Xiao Wu, Yao Xuan smiled faintly and reminded her.
"Oh, right. I should call you Brother Yao Xuan from now on!"
Xiao Wu smiled sweetly as she replied.
"That's right. My Xiao Wu is such a good girl!"
Yao Xuan praised her as he reached out to rub her cheek.
"Thank you for praising me, Brother Yao Xuan! Oh, Brother Yao Xuan, I'll take you to meet my good friend Tang San later. He's helped me a lot since I arrived at Nuoding Academy!"
Just then, Xiao Wu said, hopping up and down.
"Hmph, what good friend? Don't you know you're the prey Tang San has chosen?"
At that, Yao Xuan's expression turned stern again, and he scolded her sharply!
