Hmph, Hmph, Hmph, So You've Got Love Brain Overload, Huh?

PS: It's the end of the month, please vote for me!!!

Tang Hao fumbled around in his robes for a long moment before pulling out a pitch-black token and tossing it to Jiang Li.

This object was none other than the Pope Token of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Kid, you might find a use for this if you run into trouble in the future. I'm leaving Tang San in your hands with peace of mind."

"Also, I know you must have sensed that rabbit's uniqueness. I advise you not to set your sights on her."

"Some things are not for you to covet."

Tang Hao unleashed his Title Douluo soul power pressure once again, yet the only response he received was Jiang Li's breezy, refreshing smile.

His eighth soul ring already had a 300,000-year lifespan; how desperate would he have to be to go after a 100,000-year-old rabbit?

As for this Pope Token, it was like flavorless food to him now—a pity to discard, but not worth keeping.

He couldn't exactly be like Gangzi, taking this piece of junk token to Bibi Dong to beg for the so-called Twin Martial Souls cultivation method, could he?

"Clear Sky Douluo, I already said it: I am Tang San's master. How could I possibly snatch away my own disciple's opportunities?"

Jiang Li said, looking completely indifferent.

Seeing this, Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

He thought to himself that if Jiang Li performed well in the future, he wouldn't mind bestowing a ninth soul ring upon him.

Of course, if a spirit bone dropped, it would inevitably belong to his Tang family.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Tang San was waiting at the door of Jiang Li's room while the sky was still dim.

With his great mother's resurrection at stake, he hadn't been able to sleep a wink all night.

However, he failed to notice a pair of rabbit ears twitching in the bushes behind him.

"Strange, how did this human cub's strength increase so much after one trip out?"

"And that aura on him... is it the Blue Silver Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan?"

Xiao Wu was utterly baffled. Could it be that this tiny Nuoding Academy had other transformed soul beasts besides her?

If that were really the case, she would have to give this foolish fellow-species a stern warning. She must ensure he didn't get turned into a soul ring or spirit bone by humans before reaching maturity.

Tang San waited quietly outside Jiang Li's door for a long time, and Xiao Wu kept waiting in the back as well.

Just as both of them were starting to feel drowsy, the door to Jiang Li's room finally opened.

"Master!"

"Mm, Tang San, let's go."

Just as the master and disciple were about to leave, Jiang Li swept a glance toward the nearby bushes and spotted the little rabbit.

"Interesting."

Without a word, he controlled his Blue Silver Grass vines to shoot forward, binding Xiao Wu tight.

"Wuwuwu! You hateful human, let go of your Big Sister Xiao Wu!"

Jiang Li was speechless. Good grief, he really meant it.

He truly couldn't understand how this little rabbit managed to survive until the finale in the original story.

And given her intelligence, would absorbing her soul ring actually make a soul master dumber?

Tang San also curiously cast his gaze over. He recognized this girl with rabbit ears; she was the little girl named Xiao Wu.

Though he didn't know why, from the very first moment he saw her, a sense of inexplicable intimacy had welled up in his heart.

"Master, this is..."

Tang San instinctively wanted to plead for Xiao Wu, but Jiang Li led him step by step toward her, signaling for him to stay silent.

"Tang San, do you remember the situation with your mother?"

Tang San's pupils constricted, and he said in shock, "Master, do you mean that Xiao Wu is also a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?"

"That's right."

Hearing the exchange between the master and disciple, Xiao Wu felt as if the sky were collapsing.

As a rabbit, she wasn't exactly bright to begin with, so she naturally ignored the previous sentence and only registered that her identity as a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast had been exposed...

It's over!

Any human soul master capable of discovering her identity had to be at least a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. She had only just transformed out of the Star Dou Great Forest and hadn't even had a good look at the human world where her mother had lived for so long—was she going to die already?

"Wuwuwu, Da Ming, Er Ming, Big Sister Xiao Wu should have listened to you and never transformed."

Jiang Li: ...

Tang San: ...

Both of them had the same feeling: this Xiao Wu didn't seem very smart.

"Alright, Tang San, I'll leave it to you to decide how to handle this rabbit."

"Do you intend to raise her until you are capable of absorbing a soul ring, turning her into your soul ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, or kill her now to obtain only a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ring?"

"Or perhaps, you simply wish to keep her by your side?"

"The choice is yours."

Jiang Li paused for a moment before continuing.

"Every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has taken human form possesses the talent of Innate Full Soul Power; their cultivation to the level of a Title Douluo is essentially a certainty."

Tang San's heart was instantly plunged into a state of internal conflict.

Having just absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he naturally understood just how significant such a treasure was.

Without a doubt, with a second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone at his disposal, his future cultivation would be far smoother!

Yet, looking into Xiao Wu's pitiful, pink eyes, he could not bring himself to be cruel.

Not to mention that inexplicable sense of affection he felt toward her, the source of which remained a mystery.

After only a moment of hesitation, Tang San spoke to Jiang Li with firm resolve, "Master, let her stay by our side. When I seek revenge against those people in the future, I will need the help of my companions."

Fine, fine, so you've let your love-struck brain take the lead, have you?

However, since it was a request from his precious disciple, Jiang Li had no intention of refusing.

The Blue Silver Grass vines binding Xiao Wu slowly loosened and fell away; once free, Xiao Wu gasped for air, her breathing ragged.

A moment ago, she had truly felt that she was only a single step away from death.

Yet, she still found it incomprehensible—could a human really give up a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ring and soul bone that were within their grasp?

Perhaps noticing the confusion in Xiao Wu's eyes, Jiang Li slowly explained, "Little rabbit, be more careful in the future."

"As you can see, both Tang San and I possess the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, and Tang San's mother was the Blue Silver Emperor who took human form years ago; otherwise, you would have already become a dead rabbit."

Having said this, Jiang Li took a Breath-Concealing Grass from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch and handed it to her.

"After consuming this herb, as long as you are not probed by the soul power of a Title Douluo, the aura of your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast identity should not be exposed before you reach maturity."
