I Agree!

"Who?!"

Xiao Wu whipped around, her lively eyes filled with shock and vigilance. At some point, a faint glow of Soul Power had already gathered in her hand.

But before her words could fade, that dark-gold figure was already right before her!

An indescribably terrifying pressure, like a tangible mountain, crashed down upon Xiao Wu.

It was absolute suppression from the depths of his bloodline. Even her proud Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit bloodline instinctively trembled at that moment.

"You..."

Xiao Wu only saw a blur before her eyes. Before she could assume any defensive stance, a fair hand, seemingly delicate yet as unyielding as iron pincers, had clamped tightly around her throat.

With a thud, Xiao Wu was viciously slammed against a rough tree trunk.

Her throat tightened, and breathing instantly became difficult. Her feet dangled off the ground as she could only struggle helplessly.

"Let... go of me!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, a flash of fierceness passing through her eyes.

She tried to mobilize the Soul Power within her body and counterattack with the Soft Technique.

However, Ling Xuqing merely sneered as the Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King within him stirred slightly.

Buzz—

An incomparably tyrannical dragon's might instantly surged into Xiao Wu's body, directly shattering the Soul Power she had just gathered.

Xiao Wu groaned, her face turning pale at once. All resistance seemed so feeble and powerless in that instant.

"Don't waste your strength." Ling Xuqing leaned closer to Xiao Wu. His dark-gold eyes glimmered with an eerie light beneath the moonlight as he stared at her delicate face, now filled with terror. A teasing curve lifted at his lips. "Xiao Wu, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit—your Soft Technique is useless against me."

"You... who exactly are you?!"

Upon hearing the words "transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit," Xiao Wu's pupils shrank to their limit.

The last trace of color drained from her face, and her body shook like a leaf.

After transforming, she had clearly concealed her Soul Beast aura perfectly. She had even fled to a remote place like Nuoding City precisely to avoid powerful human experts.

But how had this boy, who appeared to be only six or seven years old, seen through her?!

Ling Xuqing watched Xiao Wu's terrified expression, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He leaned forward slightly and whispered into Xiao Wu's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You wouldn't want anyone to know that you're a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, would you?"

Those words were like Death's whisper, instantly crushing the last line of defense in Xiao Wu's heart.

That was right. If her identity were exposed, the entire Soul Master world would hunt her down in a frenzy. She would become someone else's Soul Ring, someone else's Spirit Bone!

"You... what do you want?"

Xiao Wu's voice trembled, her eyes brimming with tears of despair.

Ling Xuqing loosened his grip slightly, allowing Xiao Wu to barely breathe, but his gaze remained cold as a blade.

"I'll give you two choices."

Ling Xuqing raised two fingers, his tone calm and utterly without emotion. "First, I kill you right now, forcibly drain your Soul Ring, and strip away your Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Xiao Wu's entire body stiffened, her eyes full of fear.

"Second," Ling Xuqing continued, a hint of temptation flashing in his eyes, "you voluntarily sacrifice yourself to me and become my Soul Ring."

"You're insane!" Xiao Wu screamed, desperately shaking her head. "Voluntary sacrifice? I'll die! Even my soul will dissipate!"

"No, you won't."

Ling Xuqing shook his head, a mysterious smile curling at his lips. "As long as you're willing to sacrifice yourself voluntarily, not only can I help you revive your mother, Ah Rou, I can also preserve your consciousness and let you become my 'Soul Spirit.'"

"Soul Spirit?" Xiao Wu froze. This term was completely unheard of to her.

"That's right, a way of existing where our souls merge and we share life."

Ling Xuqing continued, his voice brimming with endless temptation. "And after I become a god in the future, you can share my Godhood and become a supreme Deity! Isn't that far better than hiding throughout the human world, constantly at risk of being hunted down?"

Xiao Wu was completely stunned.

Reviving her mother... becoming a Soul Spirit... sharing Godhood...

Every one of those phrases struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

"You... you're really willing to revive my mother?"

Xiao Wu's voice trembled. A trace of hope flashed in her eyes, but there was even more doubt.

"Of course." Ling Xuqing answered without hesitation.

"But..." Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, her eyes full of pain and struggle. "The one who killed my mother was Pope Bibi Dong. My mother's Soul Ring and Spirit Bone are both on her. Are you sure you can do it?"

Ling Xuqing's gaze turned slightly cold. He stared into Xiao Wu's eyes, a trace of displeasure entering his voice.

"You doubt me?"

"I... I don't... I just!"

Xiao Wu shuddered in fright and hurriedly waved her hands, terrified of provoking the dreadful boy before her.

"Since that's the case, it's time to show you my true strength."

Ling Xuqing snorted coldly and suddenly swept his right hand through the air.

Buzz—

Dazzling dark-gold divine light burst from his palm. A golden spear with an ancient design and an endlessly domineering aura slowly condensed into shape.

Golden Overlord Spear!

Immediately afterward, the Soul Power within Ling Xuqing erupted without restraint.

The Soul Power fluctuations at the peak of level twenty swept through the silent night like a storm.

Beneath his feet, a platinum Soul Ring radiating an intertwined aura of holiness and tyranny slowly rose!

"A... a white Soul Ring?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Your first Soul Ring only absorbed a hundred years? Then how did you reach level twenty?"

But in the next moment, Xiao Wu noticed something was wrong.

"No... the color of this Soul Ring is wrong!"

Although the Soul Ring appeared white, dark-gold divine radiance flowed beneath its white surface, giving off a pressure that made even her, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, feel her heart tremble.

"This is a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, understand?" Ling Xuqing said proudly, his eyes brimming with confidence. "It has four skills!"

"A God-Bestowed Soul Ring?!" Xiao Wu sucked in a sharp breath, completely dumbfounded.

"Besides, I also have an exclusive External Soul Bone."

At a thought from Ling Xuqing, his back split open with a sharp hiss, and a pair of enormous divine dragon wings, entirely gilded and covered in fine scales, suddenly unfurled!

At the same time, both his hands instantly transformed into incomparably sharp Purgatory Golden Dragon Claws.

"This... this is..."

Xiao Wu stared at the Dragon Wings behind Ling Xuqing and the Dragon Claws on his hands, her mind completely blank.

What kind of human genius was this?

He was clearly an ancient true dragon wearing human skin!

"Have you made your decision now?"

Ling Xuqing withdrew his Dragon Wings and Dragon Claws, his blazing gaze fixed upon Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu swallowed, asking in a trembling voice, "Are you certain that after I sacrifice myself, I can still retain my complete soul and become your Soul Spirit?"

"Of course!" Ling Xuqing said decisively. "When that time comes, we'll be one. We'll share glory and ruin alike, live together and die together!"

Xiao Wu fell silent.

She stood there, countless thoughts churning through her mind.

She thought of her mother, Ah Rou; of Da Ming and Er Ming waiting for her in the Star Dou Great Forest; and of the oath she had made when transforming—to avenge her mother.

But Spirit Hall was so powerful, and Pope Bibi Dong was even more unfathomable. As a little rabbit who had only recently transformed, how long would she have to wait before she could take revenge?

Now, the boy before her possessed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring and the Dragon God Bloodline. He was so powerful that it inspired despair.

And besides... he was really handsome...

Xiao Wu looked at Ling Xuqing's exquisite face, which seemed almost divine beneath the moonlight, and a faint blush unexpectedly rose on her cheeks.

Sacrificing myself to him... doesn't seem so bad?

Once that thought emerged, it grew wildly like weeds.

That was right. Rather than live in fear in the human world, she might as well become his Soul Spirit and use his hand to avenge her mother!

Xiao Wu took a deep breath. The fear and struggle in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by resolve and determination.

She lifted her head, looked straight into Ling Xuqing's eyes, and softly said:

"Alright, I agree!"
