Taking Xiao Wu In, A Bountiful Reward!

Silver light burst from Lin Fan's eyes and instantly fell upon Zhu Zhuqing.

Her body trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.

Before long, Zhu Zhuqing calmed down. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at Lin Fan.

After giving Zhu Zhuqing a careful look, Lin Fan knew that Mind Control had succeeded.

Otherwise, given Zhu Zhuqing's personality, she would have immediately asked whether her Martial Soul had finished evolving. She certainly wouldn't have let him look at her like this.

He didn't feel as though he could control Zhu Zhuqing like a puppet.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Fan said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Dance for me."

Without the slightest hesitation, and with no change in her expression, Zhu Zhuqing began to dance. Every graceful movement and gesture was etched into Lin Fan's eyes.

"It's like hypnosis. Too bad it consumes quite a bit of Soul Power, too."

"Not a bad Soul Skill!"

Feeling the Soul Power drain, Lin Fan confirmed the effects of Mind Control. His eyes shifted, and he immediately made Zhu Zhuqing step forward.

[Congratulations, host. You successfully evolved the Hell Spirit Cat into the Phantom Spirit Cat. It provides an even greater boost to the Soul Master's physique and speed. In addition, the Martial Soul allows the Soul Master to enter a phantom state, granting immunity to physical attacks for a certain period of time!]

[Congratulations. The Phantom Spirit Cat meets the requirements. Would you like to register this Martial Soul?]

"Yes!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up. There was no way he'd turn down a Martial Soul that increased his movement speed and let him enter a phantom state immune to physical attacks.

With this ability, Soul Masters who relied on physical attacks to deal damage would be no better than pushovers in front of Lin Fan.

Humm—

After acquiring a brand-new Martial Soul, Lin Fan felt his body brim with Soul Power. Clearly, he'd grown stronger again.

"At this rate, it seems I won't need to cultivate much. If I just help more people evolve their Martial Souls and fight a few more battles, I'll reach the Titled Douluo realm in no time, right?"

"Heh, at this speed, I'll definitely break the record!"

As Lin Fan mused, his gaze fell upon Zhu Zhuqing.

After her Martial Soul evolved, her physique had changed as well. Her muscles were beautifully defined, without a trace of excess fat, making it hard not to feel tempted.

Her abundant Soul Power also gave Zhu Zhuqing's skin the sheen of gleaming white jade.

He didn't look for long. Already in his sage mode, Lin Fan went straight to the sofa and sat down at one end.

Humm—

Not long afterward, Soul Power rippled, and Zhu Zhuqing came to.

Feeling the changes in her physique and the new abilities of her Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing was thrilled. She looked toward Lin Fan and, without even bothering to put on her clothes, threw herself at him, pressing her chest against him as she landed on top of him.

"Um... Lin Fan, can I stay with you from now on?"

"I know you can turn Spirit Beasts into Soul Rings, too. If we come across a suitable Spirit Beast, could you help me turn it into a Soul Ring?"

"..."

"That might be possible."

Lin Fan drawled, "It depends on how you behave. If you do well, I'll help you. But before that, put your clothes on and leave."

"Mm-hmm."

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing realize that she was completely naked and in such close contact with Lin Fan. Her cheeks flushed.

She quickly got dressed, said goodbye to Lin Fan, and turned to leave the room.

Once her excitement had died down, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt thirsty. There seemed to be something on her tongue. She spat it out and saw something that looked like a strand of hair.

"What did I eat today? Did I swallow a hair or something?"

Zhu Zhuqing smacked her lips, tossed the thing away, composed herself, and headed straight downstairs and out of the hotel.

Only after Zhu Zhuqing had left did Xiao Wu step forward, push open the door, and walk in.

As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Fan sprawled carelessly across the sofa.

She was about to speak when she suddenly remembered what Lin Fan had said earlier. She went over and asked quietly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Now you know how to behave?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's meek expression and remembering how she'd shouted at him last time, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh. "Actually, I don't need you to do anything. Just get into my ball!"

"Of course, I'm only doing this for your own good. I'm giving you the chance to become a god."

Lin Fan's eyes shifted as he immediately came up with a plan to bluff Xiao Wu.

Even after a Spirit Beast transformed into a human, it still retained its Spirit Beast origin!

Perhaps the Poké Ball would work on her!

Then he wouldn't have to worry about Xiao Wu getting any ideas, breaking free, and escaping his control.

Humm—

With a thought, a Poké Ball appeared in Lin Fan's hand. He said softly, "I promise that if you go inside this ball, I won't hurt you. I'll help you become a god, and I'll reunite you with Da Ming and Er Ming so that you can all ascend together!"

"And I can help you get revenge!"

"Revenge? Becoming a god? Reuniting with Da Ming and Er Ming?"

Each promise made Xiao Wu's breath catch. They were all things she dreamed of!

"No. You have to let me see Er Ming first!"

Xiao Wu suddenly came to her senses and argued her case. But Lin Fan's breezy reply left her rooted to the spot.

"You... what right do you have to bargain with me?"

"If you don't want to see Da Ming and Er Ming again, if you don't want to be hunted down, and if you don't want revenge for your mother, then... you can leave right now!"

"..."

Xiao Wu was so anxious that her cheeks flushed, and tears nearly spilled from her eyes.

After all, she had only just reincarnated as a human.

"Fine. I'll do what you say. But if you can't keep your promises, I'll self-destruct. I won't let you off easy!"

Xiao Wu's words made Lin Fan laugh.

Once the Poké Ball captured her and the contract was established, Xiao Wu wouldn't be able to hurt Lin Fan at all!

Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to say more. Seeing Xiao Wu look as though she was marching to her death, he casually tossed the Poké Ball at her.

Humm—

Whoosh!

Just as expected, although the Spirit Beast had taken human form, its essence was still that of a Spirit Beast. The Poké Ball worked just as well, and with Xiao Wu not resisting, it captured her successfully.

[Congratulations, host. You successfully captured the Transformation Stage Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu. Due to her special nature, you have received an additional 9 Moonlight Balls and 9 Heal Balls!]

[Moonlight Ball: When used under moonlight, the chance of a successful capture reaches 100%. It works on any target that is no older than one hundred thousand years!]

[Heal Ball: When used on a badly wounded Spirit Beast, the chance of a successful capture reaches 100%. It also heals all of the target's injuries. Once healed, its affinity for you will reach MAX, and it will obey without fail, regardless of its age!]

"!!!"

Both of the new balls had impressive effects. The Heal Ball was especially useful. If he could find a gravely wounded Spirit Beast on the brink of death, regardless of its age, it would be like gaining another fighter!

"Head to Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Capture some Spirit Beasts!"

"I have to set out now!"

Lin Fan was thrilled. At last, he'd be able to grow into an adult soon. When that happened, he wouldn't have to keep holding back when Dugu Yan, Gu Chen, and the others ambushed him!
