Soft Boned Charming Rabbit, Eight Ways to Eat One Rabbit! Xiao Wu Fainted from Fright

"I..."

Xiao Wu's voice caught. Pouting, she said, "What do you want?"

Dugu Lin said seriously, "Sacrifice yourself to me!"

"Dream on! Even if I die, I'll never sacrifice myself to you!" As she spoke, Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, searching for a way to escape.

Beside her, Dugu Bo said with a kindly expression, "Don't even think about running. I've already laid deadly poison all around us! I can guarantee you won't make it ten meters!"

Xiao Wu's mouth twitched. A resolute light flashed in her eyes as she roared, "You want my Soul Ring? Impossible! You'd better give up that idea now!"

Dugu Lin chuckled. "Hehe~ If you refuse to sacrifice yourself, then I'll strip you naked and hang you beneath the city walls. Uh... no, no! I'm a good person. How could I do something so shameless? A warrior may be killed but not humiliated! Can't do it, can't do it!"

Xiao Wu: "..."

If you couldn't do that, then don't say it in the first place!

Dugu Lin smiled at Xiao Wu, reached out to rub her little head, and said in the gentlest tone, "I've loved spicy rabbit heads ever since I was little. This little head of yours would make an excellent spicy rabbit head!"

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened round.

Then, Dugu Lin pinched Xiao Wu's arm. As he gestured with his hands as though slicing her in half, he said seriously, "There isn't much meat, but it'll do! Grandpa, make one half into shredded spicy rabbit and braise the other half with carrots! Then find some garlic and stir-fry the rabbit liver and heart. Oh, right! Roast the two rabbit kidneys! And the intestines—wash them clean and make nine-turn intestines! They shouldn't be any different from pig intestines, right? And the lungs would make a decent soup too!"

"Sure thing. Grandpa will boil the water first!" Dugu Bo said cheerfully as he took pots, bowls, ladles, and firewood from his storage Soul Tool.

Why did this human have pots and bowls in his storage Soul Tool?!

Wait!

Why were there even oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar?!

Were they even human? Or were they the Soul Beasts that ate people without spitting out the bones?

Xiao Wu watched Dugu Bo skillfully light the fire and boil water. Her face turned pale with fright, and her limbs went cold.

As time slowly passed.

Dugu Bo smiled at Xiao Wu, added another piece of firewood, glanced at her again, then added another piece of firewood... The water was almost boiling!

That smile, illuminated by the firelight, looked exactly like that of an old pervert eyeing a delicious prey!

Xiao Wu's scalp tingled, and even her soul trembled!

She did not dare meet his eyes at all!

Nearby, Dugu Lin skillfully chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, and carrots with a kitchen knife as he said, "Grandpa, did you bring any alcohol? Add more scallions and ginger. Before the rabbit meat goes into the pot, we still need to blanch it to get rid of the gamey smell."

"Grandpa has some!" Dugu Bo said, smiling gently at Xiao Wu.

Gah~

Finally!

Xiao Wu could no longer bear the torment of waiting to be slaughtered. With a "gah," she fainted.

"Uh... she fainted just like that? Isn't she a little too timid?" Dugu Lin said helplessly.

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile. "Let's stick to the plan and see whether she's willing to sacrifice herself after all!"

"Mm."

Dugu Lin nodded. He fetched a large basin and filled it with water, then held Xiao Wu upside down and dangled her over it, waving the kitchen knife near her neck.

At the same time, a thread of Soul Power entered Xiao Wu's body and woke her.

The moment Xiao Wu woke up, she discovered an icy blade hovering near her neck!

Then she heard the knife-wielding demon say, "Yo~ You're awake~ By the way, rabbit blood can't go to waste either! We can make rabbit blood tofu later. It goes great with rice! Don't move around, or you'll splash blood everywhere."

Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Wu's forehead. She could not stop trembling as she shouted emotionally, "Kill me, then! I will never sacrifice myself to a demon like you!"

After saying that, Xiao Wu closed her eyes and raised her chin, looking ready to face death.

Grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly. They knew this could not continue.

But Dugu Lin still wanted to give it one more try. Xiao Wu had clearly been scared out of her wits. Perhaps she only needed one final push?

After bringing over some water, Dugu Lin poured it over Xiao Wu's neck and washed it as he muttered, "Wash it clean before bleeding her."

The knife rested against Xiao Wu's neck again, even cutting through her skin and drawing drops of blood.

Yet Xiao Wu was still afraid, and her body was still trembling. Even so, she did not waver in her resolve to die!

Seeing this, Dugu Lin sighed inwardly again. He could only find an excuse and ask, "Say, after you die, will you turn back into a rabbit? I can't bring myself to eat one in human form."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu took several breaths before she understood. She hurriedly pleaded, "I've already taken human form! From now on, I'll always be human—I won't turn back into a Soul Beast! Really, I'm not lying! Soul Beasts are all like this. Once we take human form, even if we die, we won't return to our original forms. I'm human now too! Please, don't eat me, okay?"

Dugu Lin was speechless. "Human form? Then how am I supposed to eat you?"

Clang~

Throwing the kitchen knife aside, Dugu Lin looked at Xiao Wu and pondered seriously. "Can't eat you, and you won't sacrifice yourself either. What should I do? Hmm... I definitely have to get the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! It's just a shame about the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! I need to think of a way to make up for the loss..."

After hearing that they would not eat her, Xiao Wu completely relaxed. The taut string in her mind had nearly snapped.

Once that tightly wound string slackened, Xiao Wu realized that her clothes had long since been soaked through with sweat.

"Wuu~ Wuu~ Wuu~"

At that moment, Xiao Wu burst into tears, finally releasing the grievance in her heart.

Dugu Bo glanced at his grandson and asked quietly, "Lin'er, should we threaten her with her two brothers next?"

Dugu Lin gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Clearly, this grandfather-grandson pair had not noticed in the slightest that a six-year-old little girl was crying her heart out. They did not have a shred of sympathy.

"Shut up!"

Dugu Lin bellowed, frightening Xiao Wu into stopping her crying abruptly! Her body, however, still twitched now and then.

Dugu Lin put on a smile again and chuckled. "Xiao Wu, if you obediently sacrifice yourself to me, then I won't tell Spirit Hall where the Lake of Life is! If I don't tell Spirit Hall, then your two good brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming, won't be hunted down by Bibi Dong! Da Ming and Er Ming won't follow in your mother's footsteps and become Bibi Dong's Soul Rings!"

In that instant!

Xiao Wu suddenly twisted her head around. Her reddened eyes stared fixedly at Dugu Lin. For a moment, she could only stare at him, forgetting to speak.

Even if this person had been sent by Bibi Dong and knew that Bibi Dong had hunted her mother and turned her into a Soul Ring, how did he know Da Ming and Er Ming's names?
