Good, Good, You've Gotten Carried Away by Love, Haven't You?

Tang Hao rummaged around in his robes for a long while before pulling out a jet-black token and tossing it to Jiang Li.

It was none other than the Clear Sky Sect's Pope Token.

"Kid, this might come in handy if you run into trouble someday. I'm entrusting Xiao San to you with peace of mind."

"And I know you must have sensed that rabbit's unusual nature. I advise you not to get any ideas about her."

"Some things are beyond your reach."

Tang Hao once again unleashed the soul power pressure of a Titled Douluo, but Jiang Li responded with nothing but a warm, spring-breeze smile.

His Eighth Soul Ring was already three hundred thousand years old. How foolish would he have to be to absorb a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit?

As for this Pope Token, it was of little use to him now, yet too precious to throw away.

He couldn't exactly go looking for Bibi Dong with this lousy token, like Gangzi, and ask her for the so-called cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls, could he?

"Titled Douluo, as I said earlier, I'm Tang San's master. How could I possibly steal my disciple's opportunity?"

Jiang Li said without a care.

Seeing this, Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

He thought to himself that if Jiang Li performed well in the future, he might even deign to bestow a Ninth Soul Ring upon him.

Of course, if a Soul Bone dropped, it would surely belong to the Tang Family.

The next day, Tang San arrived outside Jiang Li's room at daybreak and waited.

With his great mother's resurrection at stake, he had spent the entire night tossing and turning.

What he failed to notice was a pair of rabbit ears poking out from the bushes behind him, twitching back and forth.

"Strange. Why did this human pup's strength improve so much after going out?"

"And that aura on him seems to be the Blue Silver Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass Clan?"

Xiao Wu was utterly baffled. Could there be another transformed Soul Beast in this little Nuoding Academy besides her?

If that were true, she'd have to warn this foolish fellow properly. They had better not let humans turn them into Soul Rings and Soul Bones before they reached maturity.

Tang San waited quietly outside Jiang Li's door for a long time, while Xiao Wu stayed behind him the whole time.

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

"Master!"

"Mm, Xiao San. Let's go."

Just as the master and disciple were about to leave, Jiang Li glanced toward the bushes and spotted the little rabbit.

"Interesting."

Without another word, he controlled his Blue Silver Grass vines and sent them forward, binding Xiao Wu up tightly.

"Mm-mm! You wicked human, let go of your Sister Xiao Wu!"

Jiang Li was utterly speechless. Good grief. Just great.

He truly couldn't understand how this little rabbit had managed to survive safely all the way to the end in the original story.

And with that level of intelligence, wouldn't absorbing her Soul Ring really make a Soul Master stupid?

Tang San curiously turned his gaze toward her, too. He recognized the girl with rabbit ears. She was a girl called Xiao Wu.

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

"Master, this..."

Tang San instinctively wanted to plead for Xiao Wu, but Jiang Li led him step by step over to her and signaled that he should wait before speaking.

"Xiao San, do you remember your mother's situation?"

Tang San's pupils contracted. He asked in shock, "Master, do you mean Xiao Wu is also a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast?"

"That's right."

Hearing the exchange between Jiang Li and his disciple, Xiao Wu felt as though the sky were about to fall.

Rabbits weren't exactly known for being clever, and she naturally overlooked what Jiang Li had said just before. She only heard that her identity as a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast had been discovered...

I'm doomed!

Any human Soul Master who could discover her identity had to be at least a Soul Douluo. She had only just transformed in the Star Dou Great Forest. Would she die before she could properly see the human world where her mother had lived for so long?

"Waaah, Da Ming, Er Ming, Sister Xiao Wu should've listened to you and not transformed!"

Jiang Li: ...

Tang San: ...

They both had the same feeling: this Xiao Wu didn't seem very bright.

"Alright, Xiao San. I'll leave it to you to decide what to do with this rabbit."

"Do you want to keep her around until you're strong enough to absorb her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, kill her now and claim only a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, or perhaps just keep her by your side?"

"The choice is yours."

Jiang Li paused before continuing.

"Every hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast has the talent of Innate Full Soul Power. They're practically guaranteed to reach the Titled Douluo level someday."

Tang San's heart was instantly thrown into a fierce struggle.

Having just absorbed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, he knew all too well how precious one was.

Without a doubt, with a second hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone to his name, his future cultivation would go much more smoothly!

But looking at the pleading pink eyes of Xiao Wu, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

And then there was that inexplicable fondness he felt for her.

Tang San hesitated for only an instant before telling Jiang Li with firm resolve, "Master, let's keep her with us. I'll need my companions' help when I take revenge on those people in the future."

Good, good, you've gotten carried away by love, haven't you?

Still, since his precious disciple had asked, Jiang Li had no intention of refusing.

The Blue Silver Grass vines binding Xiao Wu slowly loosened and slipped away. Once freed, Xiao Wu breathed rapidly.

Just now, she had truly felt that she was only one step away from death.

But she still couldn't understand. Would a human really give up a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone when they were right there for the taking?

Perhaps noticing the confusion in Xiao Wu's eyes, Jiang Li slowly explained, "Little rabbit, try to be more careful from now on."

"As you can see, Xiao San and I both have the Blue Silver Emperor as our Martial Soul. And Xiao San's mother was that Blue Silver Emperor who transformed many years ago. Otherwise, you'd already be a dead rabbit."

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

"After you eat this herb, your hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast aura shouldn't be exposed before you reach maturity, unless a Titled Douluo probes your body with soul power."
