["Sob, just kill me."]
["Even if I die, I won't submit to you."]
[Her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had been exposed.]
[Xiao Wu lay on the ground, crying as she rolled around.]
[The pretty little dress Lan Yin had just bought for her was now covered in leaves and mud.]
[Tang Chuan had no time to stop her.]
[Shaking his head, he silently thought that the little girl would probably get a spanking later.]
[Thus, Tang Chuan watched helplessly as she rolled around for several minutes before smiling and saying, "When did I ever say I was going to kill you?"]
["Huh?"]
["Didn't you capture me because you wanted my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone?"]
[Xiao Wu stopped moving, raised her tear-streaked face, and looked at Tang Chuan in confusion.]
[Tang Chuan could not help rolling his eyes.]
["Come on, little sister, I've only just awakened my martial soul!"]
["I don't even have my first Spirit Ring yet!"]
["Even if I killed you, I couldn't withstand your Spirit Ring."]
[Xiao Wu froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She suddenly sat bolt upright as if revived from the brink of death.]
[She was not particularly clever.]
[But she understood such a simple truth.]
[Whether she was killed or sacrificed herself.]
[For an ordinary Soul Master to withstand the pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, they would need at least eight or nine rings.]
[No matter how fast Tang Chuan cultivated!]
[By the standards of human Innate Full Soul Power, he would still need at least thirty or forty years.]
[And after spending the past two days together.]
[Xiao Wu could more or less sense Lan Yin's excessive favoritism and protectiveness toward Tang Chuan.]
[So this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, herself, was definitely being saved for Tang Chuan.]
[In other words!]
[During these thirty or forty years.]
[Tang Chuan and Lan Yin would not only refrain from harming her, but would also protect her well.]
[Thinking of this.]
[Xiao Wu's big eyes spun as plans for escaping over the next few decades already formed in her mind.]
White World
A corner of the Spirit Hall Arena.
"I had heard a little before that the Arbiter Elder had been defeated by Sword Douluo in Spirit Hall."
"But I never expected the gap between them to be so vast that he would be instantly defeated by a single sword strike."
[Xie Yue's expression was especially complicated.]
[His martial soul, the Moon Blade, was a genuine top-tier weapon martial soul.]
[The cultivation method he practiced also involved the sword path.]
[Among his peers, he was virtually unbeatable.]
[Yet after watching the battle between the two Title Douluos on the Heavenly Screen.]
[He suddenly understood what it meant for a firefly to contend with the bright moon.]
[The swordsmanship he had always taken pride in.]
[Compared with theirs, he could not even touch the fringes of it.]
[Not to mention that Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who had casually forced both of them back with a single strike, filling them with apprehension.]
[If he and his sister had had someone that powerful protecting them from the moment they were born.]
[Their family would not have died in...]
[Nana would not have needed to cultivate so desperately either.]
[Xie Yue looked at Tang Chuan, a flash of envy and loss passing through his eyes.]
["Hmph, what softheartedness. You actually dare believe the words of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."]
[At this moment.]
[Yan was extremely dissatisfied to see that Tang Chuan had no intention of dealing Xiao Wu a lethal blow.]
[Clearly, he still held a grudge over their crushing defeat in the Soul Master Elite Tournament.]
["If you ask me, he should first break her limbs so she loses the ability to move, then lock her up and starve her for a few days. He should torture her every day until she completely loses the will to resist."]
["Otherwise, if this little rabbit gets away."]
["He'll definitely regret it."]
[As Yan spoke, he shot a vicious glare toward White World Xiao Wu's position.]
[Little did he know.]
[After he finished saying those twisted words.]
[Hu Liena, sitting several seats away, showed a thoroughly disgusted expression and shifted her little butt farther away from him.]
[Although Hu Liena did not like Xiao Wu either.]
[She could not commit such deranged acts as torturing someone. Even if she wanted to kill her, she would let her enemy die with some dignity.]
[Just as Hu Liena was about to speak up for Tang Chuan.]
[Tang Chuan on the Heavenly Screen seemed to see through Xiao Wu's thoughts at a glance.]
["You don't need to think about escaping."]
["When Lan Yin first met you."]
["She not only concealed your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura."]
["She also left a mark on you."]
["No matter where you flee, Lan Yin can instantly locate you."]
["Even those two little underlings of yours in the Star Dou Great Forest can't protect you."]
[The audience instantly fell silent.]
[Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the surrounding members of the Spirit Hall Team immediately cast strange looks at Yan.]
[No one knew whether it was a coincidence.]
[But Tang Chuan's words came immediately after Yan's mocking remarks.]
[It was as though he were deliberately slapping Yan in the face.]
[Yan's already red face grew even hotter. His mouth twitched nonstop, and his toes nearly dug out a three-bedroom apartment.]
[Seeing Yan's incomparably awkward expression, Hu Liena's mood immediately improved.]
[However, the two Xiao Wus in the Black-and-White World were on the verge of breaking down.]
[Their delicate little faces were filled with horror, and their scalps went numb.]
["H-He even knows about Da Ming and Er Ming..."]
[White Xiao Wu panicked beyond measure, overwhelmed by the despairing feeling that even her underwear had been stripped away.]
[When Lan Yin returned with Ning Rongrong, who had finished washing her face.]
[She immediately saw Xiao Wu, filthy from head to toe, and her face darkened.]
[Lan Yin already had a slight obsession with cleanliness.]
[The soot-covered Ning Rongrong had already been hard enough for her to bear earlier, yet Xiao Wu had gone and done this too.]
["Sister, I actually tried to stop her just now, but she wouldn't listen."]
[Seeing that Lan Yin seemed a little angry, Tang Chuan immediately stepped forward and sold Xiao Wu out.]
[Xiao Wu panicked as well.]
["No, Sister Lan Yin, Brother Tang Chuan deliberately scared me just now..."]
[Before she could finish, Lan Yin grabbed her and used Blue Silver Grass to spank her butt. Xiao Wu's wailing cries immediately echoed through the forest.]
[Making Tang Chuan realize for the first time that this was what rabbits sounded like.]
[After teaching Xiao Wu not to roll around in the mud again.]
[Lan Yin finally left to prepare warm water for everyone to wash up.]
[After Xiao Wu finished crying, she instead stared blankly at Lan Yin's departing figure.]
[Such strict discipline was exactly like her mother's.]
[Of the three, Ning Rongrong was undoubtedly the happiest.]
[She had never expected that, as a hostage.]
[She would actually get the privilege of soaking in warm water.]
[The little girl's eyes immediately brimmed with tears.]
[She cast a grateful look toward Tang Chuan on the other side.]
[But as she kept looking.]
[She suddenly noticed something strange.]
["Xiao Wu, why is Brother Tang Chuan different from us?" Ning Rongrong poked Xiao Wu's waist.]
[Tickling her until she giggled.]
["What's different?" Xiao Wu moved Ning Rongrong's hand away, looking puzzled.]
[The two whispered to each other for a while, but still could not figure it out.]
[They could only ask Lan Yin.]
[Lan Yin was a little confused too.]
[Although she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her knowledge in that regard was completely inferior to that of ordinary humans.]
[Seeing that the two were truly curious.]
[Tang Chuan fell silent for a moment.]
[Then answered—]
["Actually, every boy secretly keeps a pet Soul Beast called Agumon."]
["After it grows up, it will undergo Ultimate Evolution into WarGreymon."]
["Its first soul skill is the passive skill Dragon Beast Nemesis."]
["It possesses a body as tough as copper walls and iron ramparts, incomparably resilient and indestructible."]
["Its second soul skill is Battle Tornado."]
["It can easily break through train tunnels with unstoppable momentum, and its power is terrifying."]
["Its third soul skill is Gaia Force."]
["It can gather an enormous amount of energy in a short time. At the moment it erupts, it can instantly fill an entire sea and even blast seawater over the coastline. Its power must not be underestimated."]
["So I advise you not to provoke it in the future."]
["Otherwise, you will surely regret it."]
[Xiao Wu: "???"]
[Ning Rongrong: "???"]
[Lan Yin: "???"]
