Flexible-Bone Rabbit, Jade Rabbit—Bloodline Evolution?

"Xiao San, don't let temporary benefits take over your heart. You should have sound values and firm convictions."

In the original work, Tang San became a false human in the later stages. A large part of the reason was that no one had truly taught him anything. Even Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao had crazily forced their self-righteous beliefs and values into him, ultimately causing Tang San to go down the wrong path without ever turning back.

Now that Tang San had become his disciple, he had to do his duty and correct Tang San's values. At the very least, he had to make Tang San a normal person, so that he would not do something like splitting his daughter's soul apart.

"Teacher Wulin... you're back?"

Just as Tang San fell into thought because of Tang Wulin's words, an eager voice carrying a hint of delight sounded from outside the door.

Tang San instantly came back to his senses. That rabbit is here again.

She was clearly a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet she actually wanted to compete with me for the teacher's fatherly love. How shameless.

"Xiao San, take out the Immortal Herb. Only after concealing the Soul Beast aura on Xiao Wu can we leave Notting Academy without worry."

He reached out and rubbed Tang San's head without saying anything more. He knew how much weight he carried in Tang San's heart. These words were enough.

When he opened his room door, he immediately saw Xiao Wu standing outside in a pink little dress.

For some reason, Tang Wulin always felt that the way Xiao Wu looked at him was filled with such maternal affection... Saying it was kindly and benevolent did not seem wrong, either.

One Tang San regarded him as his father, while Xiao Wu looked at him with a benevolent gaze, as if treating him like a child.

This was truly bizarre. His arrival seemed to have changed far too much about the Douluo Continent.

"Xiao Wu, are you a rabbit or a dog? How did you know Teacher and I had just returned and come running over like a dog following a scent?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, his mouth practically coated in poison. He did not even bother with veiled sarcasm and mocked her outright.

"Tsk, Evil God Xiao San... You're truly narcissistic to the extreme. Who came to see you?"

Xiao Wu retorted disdainfully. When it came to verbal sparring with Tang San, she did not fall behind in the slightest.

"Shut up, you two."

"Xiao San, give Xiao Wu the Immortal Herb I told you to pick."

Tang Wulin helplessly rubbed the center of his brows. With this relationship, there's definitely no hope of her picking the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. I'd better keep it for myself.

"Stupid dead rabbit, I'm only giving this to you because of the teacher. Accept it gratefully."

Tang San snorted and immediately took out an Immortal Herb that seemed to shimmer with moonlight.

"This is the Moon Laurel Grass. It can conceal one's aura while also absorbing the essence of the moon. After consuming it, there's a chance of receiving the blessing of the Moon Goddess. It's one of the top-tier Immortal Herbs!"

There were not many Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that could conceal one's aura. In Tang San's view, the Moon Laurel Grass was the most suitable one for Xiao Wu.

Although he and this rabbit did not get along, since it was the teacher's instruction, he naturally would not slack off or even find some worthless Immortal Herb to fool her with.

"Xiao San... you wouldn't hurt Sister Xiao Wu, would you?"

Xiao Wu was extremely suspicious. Would this Evil God Tang San really be so kind?

"Eat it if you want. If the teacher hadn't told me to, I wouldn't even be bothered with you!"

Tang San felt insulted. As expected, her wild nature hasn't been purged.

There were differences even among transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. A mere Xiao Wu still couldn't compare with my mother.

Compared with this old rabbit Xiao Wu, my mother was clearly much wiser. With my guidance in the future, great things could be accomplished!

"Xiao Wu, eat it."

"This Immortal Herb should suit you quite well."

In Tang Wulin's view, the Immortal Herb Tang San had chosen might truly be quite suitable for Xiao Wu.

He remembered that Xiao Wu's ninth Soul Skill was called the Moon of the Nine Heavens. It condensed a pink energy moon and sent it crashing down to kill her enemies.

Besides, rabbits had always been associated with the legendary Jade Rabbit. With the help of the Moon Laurel Grass, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit might not be unable to evolve.

"Okay, I'll eat it right away."

Xiao Wu trusted Tang Wulin completely. After he spoke, she swallowed the Moon Laurel Grass in one bite without hesitation.

As the Moon Laurel Grass went down, waves of pink Soul Power immediately radiated from Xiao Wu's body. A huge rabbit appeared behind her.

This was probably her true form!

Tang Wulin and Tang San, the teacher and disciple, both watched Xiao Wu absorb the Immortal Herb.

Time passed, and night soon arrived.

A massive amount of moonlight seemed to be drawn toward Xiao Wu. It continuously poured in through the window and illuminated her body.

At that moment, Xiao Wu's entire body radiated a holy, cool aura. Her black scorpion braid silently came undone, and several strands of silver appeared in her long hair at some point.

"Teacher, this moonlight...?"

Tang San was also drawn to the scene before him. He looked up at Tang Wulin curiously.

"The Moon Laurel Grass should have given Xiao Wu great benefits. It may even have activated a hidden bloodline within her."

Some unknown bloodlines were hidden within Soul Beasts. That was nothing unusual.

It was not strange for Xiao Wu to activate a hidden bloodline and improve herself after absorbing the Moon Laurel Grass.

After all, Immortal Herbs were extremely powerful. The Myriad Demon King had only grown into a five-hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beast after absorbing an Immortal Spirit Grass.

Immortal Herbs were truly not to be underestimated.

Tang San nodded thoughtfully, more or less understanding everything.

Soon, under the two men's gazes, the Soft Bone Rabbit behind Xiao Wu began to change, slowly transforming into a full moon.

Within that full moon, a Jade Rabbit on a Moon Laurel tree radiated waves of Mystic Yin energy.

"Teacher, did Xiao Wu evolve?"

"That's right. She definitely evolved. Xiao Wu should no longer be called a Soft Bone Rabbit. Calling her a Jade Rabbit would be more appropriate."

If the Soft Bone Rabbit could not be considered a top-tier martial soul, then the evolved Jade Rabbit was absolutely one of the most supreme martial souls.

After all, the Mystic Yin aura it had just released was not something an ordinary martial soul could possess. Besides, the Jade Rabbit could surely be considered a divine beast, right?

"Huff—"

Xiao Wu suddenly opened her eyes. Wisps of moonlight seeped from her pores. Her large, doe-like eyes were even brighter than before, and a coolness unlike anything before radiated from her body.

"Xiao Wu, did you evolve?"

Tang Wulin looked curiously at Xiao Wu. His eyes were clearly filled with certainty, yet he still tried asking.

"Teacher Wulin, thank you!"

"I simply love you to death!"

The instant Xiao Wu saw Tang Wulin, she excitedly threw herself at him. She was truly overjoyed now.

After swallowing the Moon Laurel Grass, her bloodline had really grown stronger—and evolved!

Now, she was no longer the Soft Bone Rabbit of the past. She was now a ten-thousand-year Jade Rabbit!
