Even If You Scream Yourself Hoarse, No One Will Come Save You!

Qian Renxue recognized the token at a glance:

It was Martial Soul Hall's Elder Token. Whoever held it could exercise an elder's authority within Martial Soul Hall's jurisdiction. Regardless of soul power level, they recognized the token, not the person!

She had never expected this Chrysanthemum Douluo to give such a thing to Jiang Xuan!

Staring at the token, Qian Renxue stood there in a daze for quite a while. Unknowingly, unpleasant memories surfaced, casting a shadow over her mood.

By the time she finally managed to compose herself and came back to her senses, she was startled to discover that Chrysanthemum Pass had left at some point.

"Where did that senior go? When did he leave?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, Jiang Xuan was utterly speechless.

Good grief. In front of others, she put on that sweet voice and kept calling him Brother Jiang Xuan, but the moment no one else was around, the fake voice vanished, and she even dropped the form of address entirely.

Could she be any more hypocritical?

Jiang Xuan lightly smacked her on the head.

"He left ages ago. I should be the one asking you—what were you standing here blankly for just now?"

Such an intimate gesture, tinged with a hint of ambiguity, would probably have made Qian Renxue bristle in the past.

But at this moment, she merely rubbed the spot on her head where he had smacked her before directly changing the subject.

"Nothing. Since that senior has already left, that hundred-thousand-year soul beast belongs to us now, right? What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Xuan was highly dissatisfied by those words and immediately frowned in rebuttal.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean, our hundred-thousand-year soul beast? It's obviously mine!"

Qian Renxue froze on the spot.

What was going on?

Hadn't Jiang Xuan asked for this transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast so he could give her to Qian Renxue?

Had she been imagining things all along?

For a moment, Qian Renxue nearly lost control of her emotions.

Fortunately, Angel Soul Power could help stabilize her state of mind to some extent, preventing her emotions from spiraling out of control.

Forget it. He got that hundred-thousand-year soul beast himself. He can deal with her however he wants. It has nothing to do with me!

If Jiang Xuan knew what Qian Renxue was thinking at that moment, he might have sighed along the lines of:

A classic case of expecting things on your own, then getting upset on your own!

Chrysanthemum Pass had asked Jiang Xuan for the pill, saying he wanted to return and thoroughly study its composition in order to gain insight into the art of pill refining.

That left Jiang Xuan feeling somewhat regretful.

He had actually not eaten it right away.

Still, it did not matter. Jiang Xuan had already explained the pill's primary effects. He refused to believe Chrysanthemum Pass would be able to resist taking it forever!

[Someone from Martial Soul Hall will definitely take the pill Chrysanthemum Pass has. Everyone can guess who the lucky one will be first.]

Before leaving, Chrysanthemum Pass used a soul skill to create a special prison for Xiao Wu. He also gave Jiang Xuan a Singular Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum formed from soul power, allowing him to control the prison and keep this transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast under control.

According to him, while this prison restricted Xiao Wu's movements, it also sealed the flow of soul power within her body. Without outside interference, Xiao Wu would be unable to break free for at least a month.

Jiang Xuan was quite satisfied with that, because it directly solved the "after-sales" trouble for him and saved him a great deal of effort.

After putting away the token and Soul-Gathering Pill Chrysanthemum Pass had given him, Jiang Xuan held the chrysanthemum and walked with a faint smile toward Xiao Wu, whose face was now filled with despair.

Only then did Xiao Wu finally get a clear look at Jiang Xuan's face, and she could not help letting out a scream.

"It's you? It was you!"

Her reaction confused Jiang Xuan.

"You know me? Have we met before?"

Xiao Wu had a rather fiery temperament. She immediately spat and said viciously:

"You bastard! It wasn't enough that you hurt my Third Brother not long ago, and now you want to hurt me too! An evil person like you will definitely be punished by heaven!"

I see.

So Little Wimp had told her.

Jiang Xuan was not known for his good temper. If someone dared to make him unhappy, he would definitely pay it back tenfold, a hundredfold.

At first, he had been considering whether to let Xiao Wu go after making use of her.

But now, there was nothing left to consider.

Now that she had fallen into his hands, she was his soul beast. She could forget about escaping his grasp for the rest of her life!

"Heh. Whether I'll be punished by heaven is hard to say, but I know you're about to have some bad luck!"

The moment those words fell, Xiao Wu instantly panicked, and her body began to struggle uncontrollably.

"Y-you, what are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless! If you let me go now, I'll pretend none of what happened before ever happened, and we'll be even! But if you dare do anything excessive to me, I guarantee you'll be in trouble!"

There was a saying Jiang Xuan suddenly understood now.

The cries and wails of the weak were perhaps the most pleasant melody in the world.

"Xue'er, she's too noisy. Go give her two slaps and make her understand what kind of situation she's in!"

Hearing Jiang Xuan's order, Qian Renxue, who was still sulking, did not think much of it. She instinctively stepped forward, raised her chubby little hand, and viciously slapped Xiao Wu across the face.

After that slap, Xiao Wu immediately shut her mouth, tears gathering at the corners of her eyes.

She had been slapped completely senseless!

After delivering the slap, Qian Renxue also froze in place.

Something was wrong!

She was supposed to still be angry.

So why had her body so naturally accepted being ordered around by Jiang Xuan?

Still, she had to admit that after slapping Xiao Wu, she felt much better.

Jiang Xuan did not care about what either of them was thinking. Once Xiao Wu had quieted down, he approached the cage and forcibly grabbed one of her arms.

Sensing herself being touched, Xiao Wu immediately flailed about in an attempt to resist. Unfortunately, before the prison specially designed by Chrysanthemum Pass, all her actions were futile.

"I originally wanted to make this more comfortable for you. Since you won't behave, don't blame me!"

After saying that in an indifferent tone, Jiang Xuan directly used soul power to activate the Singular Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum in his hand, controlling the prison as it rapidly shrank.

The space inside the prison had originally been large enough for Xiao Wu to stand, but after it shrank, her limbs were all locked into the gaps of the prison. Aside from her neck, moving any other part of her body even slightly had become a distant dream.

Though she was naturally fierce, faced with a desperate situation where she could not resist, Xiao Wu inevitably became terrified and begged repeatedly.

"No! Don't come over! Don't come any closer! I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted so arrogantly just now. Forgive me! Please forgive me! I won't dare do it again!"

Xiao Wu's voice was on the verge of tears. If Little Wimp heard it, he would surely enter his "you have a path to death" state immediately.

But unfortunately, within this Sunset Forest, no one could save her.
