Xiao Wu Decides to Take a Gamble

"Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Sister Xiao Wu, there's a letter here for you!"

"A letter for me?"

Hearing her lackey's shout, Xiao Wu walked out of her room, looking completely bewildered.

"That's right, Sister Xiao Wu. Look, the address even lists the academy and the class. Could there possibly be a second Xiao Wu here?"

The lackey handed over the letter, his face wearing a look of pure, unadulterated naivety.

Xiao Wu took the letter with a puzzled expression and returned to her room, opening the envelope with curiosity. The moment she saw the first line, her face changed drastically. She rushed to the door to peer left and right, and after confirming no one was around, she bolted the doors and windows shut before reading the letter again.

"Xiao Wu, a Soft Bone Rabbit who has transformed into human form, do you know that you have already been targeted by Tang San and his father?"

Me, Sister Xiao Wu, being seen through by a six-year-old brat?

Who on earth sent this letter, and how could they possibly know my identity?

"Don't worry, I have no malice toward you. If I did, it would be a Title Douluo standing before you right now."

Hmph, even if it were a Title Douluo, would I be afraid?

Xiao Wu muttered to herself, feeling slightly more at ease, and continued reading. In the letter, Ye Tian did not hold back, exposing all of Tang San's trump cards.

"Tang San practices a pupil technique called the Purple Demon Eye, which can see through all disguises. In his eyes, you have long since revealed your true colors."

"Tang San's father, Tang Hao, is a Title Douluo who has been following Tang San the entire time. He noticed you the very first day you met."

"Xiao Wu, why do you think this Clear Sky Douluo, known for his title, hasn't taken down a weak Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like you?"

Xiao Wu was shocked to her core. Her mother had once told her that a transformed soul beast is at its weakest before reaching level eighty.

At this stage, their soul beast disguise can be seen through by any soul master above the rank of Soul Douluo.

Xiao Wu knew that only she and Tang San were aware of his practice of the Purple Demon Eye. Since the sender knew such a secret, could the information about Tang San's father also be true?

Why would a Title Douluo allow her to stay by his son's side? Xiao Wu thought for a moment and realized the truth.

Tang Hao was keeping her in captivity.

He was waiting for Tang San to reach level seventy so he could slaughter her, obtaining an unprecedented Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, a Martial Soul Avatar, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu felt a glimmer of trust toward this mysterious sender. The fact that they knew her identity yet hadn't made a move suggested that this person was friendly toward soul beasts.

At the end of the letter, Ye Tian, acting as a well-wisher, offered Xiao Wu some advice.

"Tang San doesn't know that you are aware of his family's plans. If you are bold enough, you can continue playing along with Tang San; you will be safe at least until he reaches level forty."

"Of course, if you are timid, you can return to the Star Dou Forest and stay by the side of Daming and Erming, the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Do not step out of the core area until you reach level eighty!"

Seeing her fate laid out in the letter, Xiao Wu's anxiety plummeted.

Although she was exposed, since Tang San's family intended to keep her as livestock, she was safe for the time being. Furthermore, with a Title Douluo protecting her from the shadows, the chances of her being discovered by others in the human world were even lower.

As for returning to the Star Dou Forest, the thought barely crossed her mind before it vanished.

Now that she had taken human form, she had to cultivate in places rich with human energy. Besides, since arriving in Nuoding City, Xiao Wu had discovered that the human world was far more interesting than the Star Dou Forest she had watched for countless years; she couldn't bear to leave.

Decision made. Sister Xiao Wu will go undercover by Tang San's side.

Hmph, with my acting skills, I'll definitely have that little brat Tang San wrapped around my finger!

After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Wu intended to write back to the mysterious person to inform them of her plan, but after flipping through all the pages, she couldn't find a name, nor did she know where the letter had come from.

Soon, Xiao Wu stopped dwelling on it.

Since the mysterious person knew about her and the Title Douluo behind Tang San, she would surely meet this kind stranger in the future.

What she needed to do now was focus on her cultivation and hide some of her secrets, lest her trump cards be fully exposed if she ever truly needed to flee.

With a creak, Xiao Wu pulled open her door with high spirits and headed to a quiet corner of the training ground to begin her practice.

Before long, the lackeys Xiao Wu had gathered in the dormitory arrived at the training ground one by one. When they saw the pink figure in the corner, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, looking at each other and seeing the same thought reflected in everyone's eyes.

Is that figure really our Sister Xiao Wu?

The Sister Xiao Wu who would never stand if she could sit, and never sit if she could lie down?

"S... Sister Xiao Wu?"

"What?" Xiao Wu looked back at the source of the voice, not caring why the group had come here to stare at her instead of training.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"Sister Xiao Wu, even if Tang San got a soul ring first, don't be anxious. The Grandmaster said he would arrange for us to obtain our soul rings this month."

"Yeah, that's right!"

"Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry. Even if Tang San's fists are stronger now, in our hearts, the only boss is you, Sister Xiao Wu!"

A group of six-year-olds used the only way they knew how to clumsily comfort Xiao Wu. They all assumed that because Tang San had obtained a soul ring early thanks to the Grandmaster, Xiao Wu was worried about losing her position as the boss, which was why she had suddenly become so diligent.

A flash of emotion crossed Xiao Wu's eyes, but she remained stubborn.

"Hmph, even if Tang San has one soul ring, he's still no match for me!"

"My only opponent is myself!"

As soon as these words left her lips, Xiao Wu immediately garnered a flurry of adoring gazes.

"As expected of Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Sister Xiao Wu is just amazing!"

"Since we need to obtain our spirit rings this month, why aren't you all training yet!"

Xiao Wu glared, and the group of children immediately scattered in a swarm, each finding an empty spot to begin their training.

With no one to disturb her, Xiao Wu continued the process of accumulating her spirit power. This time, when Tang San returned, she would definitely use the excuse of a sparring match to give him a good beating.

At this moment, Tang San was sitting in a carriage returning to the Soul Master Academy with Grandmaster. Thinking of Xiao Wu waiting for him in the dormitory, a strange warmth flowed through Tang San's heart.

Xiao Wu, my Mysterious Heaven Skill can finally be cultivated again; I no longer have to worry about falling behind you.

Xiao Wu, just wait, I will be back to see you soon!

At this moment, Tang San naturally did not know that Ye Tian had specifically written a letter to expose his secret, and that Xiao Wu, whom he missed so dearly, no longer felt any closeness toward him, harboring only exploitation and vigilance.
