"Heh, I haven't even started teaching you a lesson yet, and you already dare to show killing intent toward me? You've got some nerve, Tang San!"

Although the killing intent in Tang San's eyes was extremely well-hidden, it didn't escape Yao Xuan's gaze in the slightest!

In response, Yao Xuan merely revealed a look of disdain.

A mere nobody like you dares to show killing intent toward me?

You must not know how to spell the word "death"!

Of course, Yao Xuan didn't intend to kill Tang San so quickly; letting him kick the bucket that easily would be too kind.

Just like with Yu Xiaogang, Yao Xuan was determined to make him suffer endless agony, wishing for death but unable to find it—only then would he feel satisfied!

For instance, making Tang San become a eunuch just like Yu Xiaogang, forever losing his dignity as a man.

Or perhaps, summoning the Snake Grandmother Chao Tianxiang to have her engage in some unspeakable activities with Tang San.

In short, under Yao Xuan's hand, Tang San would definitely feel that living each day was a form of torture!

"Alright, student Yao Xuan, please find a seat and sit down!"

Just then, the teacher instructed Yao Xuan to take a seat.

Hearing the teacher's words, Yao Xuan walked without hesitation to the seat beside Xiao Wu and sat straight down.

If any other student had tried to sit next to Xiao Wu, she would have undoubtedly refused.

This was why the seats to the left and right of Xiao Wu were always empty.

It wasn't that other students didn't want to sit beside her.

It was just that those who tried to get close to Xiao Wu had all been beaten away by her.

Of course, seeing Yao Xuan want to sit beside her, Xiao Wu not only had no objections, but she was actually a bit excited, her heartbeat involuntarily quickening.

After all, having witnessed Yao Xuan's Spirit, Xiao Wu had long guessed that Yao Xuan might belong to the Spirit Beast clan, and was even the incomparably noble Emperor Auspicious Beast!

Furthermore, whether it was Yao Xuan's looks or his temperament, both had instantly captured Xiao Wu's heart.

Seeing Yao Xuan take the initiative to get close, Xiao Wu was too happy to even think about refusing!

"Hmph, damn it!"

Seeing Yao Xuan sit beside Xiao Wu, at this very moment, Tang San felt a tightness in his chest, as if something important had been snatched away by Yao Xuan.

Originally, after witnessing Yao Xuan's Spirit, Tang San had already developed deep hostility toward him.

Now, Tang San's animosity toward Yao Xuan had climbed to a new level!

If it weren't for the fact that they were in class, he would have loved to find trouble with Yao Xuan immediately!

Time flew by, and soon, the morning was over.

"You hundred-thousand-year-old little rabbit, you are far too careless!"

"Don't you know that you have already become prey?"

"If you don't want to become someone else's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, then follow me!"

Just as Xiao Wu was preparing to stand up and head to the cafeteria for lunch, a majestic voice suddenly rang in her ears!

Who could it be? Could it be Lord Auspicious Beast?

Hearing someone expose her identity, Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled instantly, and a flash of panic crossed the depths of her eyes!

However, she immediately realized that the mysterious voice reminding her was likely a friend, not a foe.

Connecting this to the sudden transfer student Yao Xuan, a guess formed in Xiao Wu's mind.

It seemed her guess was correct: Yao Xuan was indeed Lord Auspicious Beast, and he had indeed come because of her!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu felt incredibly moved, and her favorability toward Yao Xuan soared instantly!

However, she was also somewhat curious: she had already undergone Shape-Shifting and hidden herself very well, so why would Lord Auspicious Beast say she had already become prey?

Filled with curiosity, Xiao Wu hurriedly stood up, followed behind Yao Xuan, and arrived at a deserted spot behind Nuoding Academy.

"Knowing to follow me, it seems you little rabbit aren't too stupid! I have masked our auras; you are safe for now!"

Looking at Xiao Wu before him, Yao Xuan nodded, his mind stirring as he activated [Stealth], concealing both of their auras.

"Xiao Wu of the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit clan, pays respects to Lord Auspicious Beast!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu hurriedly knelt on one knee, performing the grand salute of a subordinate meeting their master.

"Mm, Xiao Wu, rise!"

Looking at Xiao Wu kneeling on one knee, Yao Xuan smiled slightly, reached out to take her soft, jade-like hand, and pulled her up.

"Many thanks, Lord Auspicious Beast! However, you said I have become prey—may I ask, how was I exposed? And who is hunting me?"

Looking at Yao Xuan beside her and feeling the aura emanating from him, Xiao Wu felt her entire body relax, feeling incredibly comfortable as she thanked him and asked her question with curiosity.

"Hmph, you're still asking me?"

"After a soul beast undergoes Shape-Shifting, they remain in their juvenile stage until their cultivation reaches level sixty. If one's cultivation reaches the Title Douluo realm, they can see through your identity. Did your elders not teach you this before you shifted?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Yao Xuan deliberately let out a cold snort and spoke with a stern expression.

"I'm sorry, Lord Auspicious Beast. My elders all passed away due to accidents before I underwent Shape-Shifting. I had no other choice but to choose to shift."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu lowered her head and spoke weakly, her voice tinged with a sob as if she were recalling the faces and voices of her parents once again.

"So that's how it is!"

"No wonder you would foolishly enter human society and end up as prey!"

"I apologize, I touched a sore spot."

"Come now, stop crying!"

Hearing this, a look of apology appeared on Yao Xuan's face. He reached out his palm, gently stroked Xiao Wu's soft, snow-white cheek, and wiped away her tears with his own hand.

"Mm, Lord Auspicious Beast!"

Receiving Yao Xuan's gentle caress, the sorrow in Xiao Wu's heart was gradually soothed, and her emotions began to calm down.

"How about this? Since you have no other family, I will reluctantly take you in as my sworn younger sister. What do you think?"

Looking at the Xiao Wu before him, Yao Xuan smiled faintly and spoke.

"Re-really, Lord Auspicious Beast?"

Happiness had come too suddenly. Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu's body trembled with excitement, and she asked in a shaky voice.

"Of course it's true."

"Looking at you like this, I also find you quite pitiful."

"Besides, although I can save you this time, looking at how ignorant you are, you will be targeted by others sooner or later. It is safer to stay by my side."

Hearing this, Yao Xuan revealed a sunny smile.

"Tha-thank you so much, Lord Auspicious Beast!"

Receiving Yao Xuan's affirmative reply, Xiao Wu's mood instantly reached the peak of excitement. The sadness in her heart dissipated for the most part, and she broke into a smile through her tears.

She never expected that she would have the chance to become the sworn younger sister of the Lord Auspicious Beast!

This was truly too blissful!

"Are you still going to call me Lord Auspicious Beast, Xiao Wu?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Yao Xuan smiled slightly and reminded her.

"Oh, right, from now on I should call you Brother Yao Xuan!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu also gave a sweet smile and answered happily.

"That's right, my Xiao Wu is truly well-behaved!"

While reaching out to rub Xiao Wu's cheek, Yao Xuan praised her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Yao Xuan! By the way, Brother Yao Xuan, let me take you to meet my good friend, Tang San, in a moment! Since I just arrived at Nuoding Academy, he has helped me quite a lot!"

Just then, Xiao Wu said while hopping and skipping.

"Hmph, what good friend! Don't you realize that you are the prey Tang San has chosen?"

Hearing this, Yao Xuan's face stiffened once more, and he scolded her with a stern voice!
