Oh Crap, Xiao Wu Got Caught

Yet it was not long before.

Chen Xin walked out from the depths of the dense forest.

In his hand, he carried a little girl carved out of pink jade, with two rabbit ears on her forehead.

Chen Xin tossed her away casually, and the little girl tumbled on the ground several times, yet she did not even dare to let out a single cry of agony.

She could only curl up on the ground, trembling, and press her head into her knees while clutching her rabbit ears with both hands.

Lin Xiao's eyelids twitched.

Good grief, this pink little dress and those obvious rabbit ears...

Isn't this Xiao Wu?

Her luck was truly dreadful; she must have been spotted by Sword Douluo on her way to Notting City and dragged back.

Was his butterfly effect really this strong?

That made sense, too, since if he hadn't possessed innate full soul power and needed to acquire a spirit ring.

Sword Douluo wouldn't have tagged along.

And with Ning Rongrong at rank 9 innate soul power, she would have needed a long time of cultivation before wanting to acquire a spirit ring.

By that time, Xiao Wu would probably have already reached Notting Academy.

Ning Rongrong, standing beside him, had her sense of justice bursting to the extremes as she spread her arms and blocked Xiao Wu's front.

Grandpa Sword, you are not allowed to bully her!

Chen Xin half-crouched down and gently rubbed Rongrong's head.

Be a good girl, Rongrong. She is not human; she is a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form.

Upon hearing those words, Xiao Wu trembled even more violently, and tears streamed down like rain.

Wuwuwuwu—

Mom, I'm sorry. Xiao Wu is going to die before I can avenge you, wuwuwu—

Ning Rongrong puckered her lips, her face plastered with disbelief.

Grandpa Sword is lying. She is clearly a little girl just like me.

Chen Xin shook his head helplessly.

It was useless for him to explain anything to this little girl.

What did she understand at her age?

A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form was something one could only encounter by chance and never seek out; even with all his pampering for Rongrong, he could not let her go.

Be a good girl, Rongrong~ Grandpa just wants to invite her to be a guest in our sect.

Ning Rongrong raised her little head with an innocent face.

Really?

Of course it's true.

Chen Xin raised his hand in a wave and summoned the Seven Kill Sword.

Dragging Xiao Wu along, he stepped onto it first.

Lin Xiao pulled Ning Rongrong and followed closely behind.

Ning Rongrong even reached out and poked Xiao Wu, who was being dangled mid-air.

Hello there, my name is Ning Rongrong. What is your name?

Xiao Wu did not speak, only trembling and crying incessantly.

Inside the main hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Xiao Wu stood in the center with vacant eyes, allowing the three people on the main seats to size her up as if she were a commodity.

Chen Xin put forward his own suggestion.

Fengzhi, I think this hundred-thousand-year spirit beast should be locked up first and saved for Xiao Lin to kill once his rank is raised.

Bone Douluo chimed in with successive agreement as well.

The old sword freak is right. Xiao Lin is the very first person in our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with innate full soul power in all these years, and his martial soul is so overwhelmingly powerful. It couldn't be better for him to absorb her.

Ning Fengzhi tapped his finger on the tabletop, one beat after another.

Indeed, this plan was the best one.

With this human-formed spirit beast, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could completely forge a Title Douluo equipped with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

This would be a tremendous boost to the strength of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Mm, let's do it this way. Lock her in the dungeon first and guard her strictly.

With just a few words among them, Xiao Wu's ultimate destination was settled.

Sitting to the side, Lin Xiao shook his head repeatedly as he watched.

At the same time, he still felt a trace of reluctance in his heart.

It wasn't because he pitied the inevitable fate of the spirit beast being hunted.

It was rather because of Xiao Wu herself.

This was the female protagonist of Douluo, one of the goddesses on the fan-fiction must-eat list, sigh!

How did the forum posts put it again?

Xiao Wu's legs, Zhuqing's breasts, Rongrong's skin, and the little angel's stunning looks.

Not to mention that in Douluo Continent, aside from face-slapping and acting cool, these were the only things capable of attracting people.

Furthermore, his spirit ring could upgrade, completely bypassing the need to hunt a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.

As for the sect's losses...

With the help of his Gugas, he could completely achieve a mechanical ascension for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

Making them even stronger than in the original work was certain, and surpassing Spirit Hall might not even be impossible.

Making Ning Fengzhi and the others spare Xiao Wu's life was also extremely simple.

He would bamboozle them into thinking he wanted to trick Xiao Wu into a sacrifice.

Then, after he grew strong enough in the future and brought the sect up, Xiao Wu would truly be able to survive when the time came.

As Xiao Wu was being escorted down to the dungeon.

Only then did Lin Xiao speak up.

Uncle Ning, I have an idea that can make my hundred-thousand-year spirit ring even more powerful.

Oh? What idea do you have, Xiao Lin?

Ning Fengzhi immediately grew interested, his gaze landing on Lin Xiao.

A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was already at the top tier of the continent with virtually no room for improvement, so he was very curious about how it could become even more powerful.

Chen Xin, standing to the side, also glanced over, his face revealing surprise.

Lin Xiao did not keep them in suspense and directly offered an explanation.

My Gugas told me about it.

Among spirit beasts, a certain sacrificial secret technique exists.

The spirit beast completely sacrifices its entire origin, soul power, and divine soul to the soul master. The hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone born in this manner will achieve ultimate compatibility with my body, and their overall power will far surpass a hundred-thousand-year configuration acquired through ordinary hunting.

Ning Fengzhi fell into contemplation.

I have indeed heard of this sacrifice. Back then, the Clear Sky Douluo also obtained his hundred-thousand-year spirit ring because of his wife's sacrifice. If you want a spirit beast to voluntarily sacrifice itself, emotional bonding is the only way. Do you have confidence in this?

Lin Xiao nodded heavily.

Uncle Ning, we can do it like this...

In the dead of night.

Lin Xiao walked outside the dungeon of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect accompanied by a Ninja Guga.

The guards watching over the dungeon all straightened their postures upon seeing the newcomer.

They wanted to leave a good impression.

Lin Xiao smiled.

You've worked hard, Uncles. You must be quite hungry, right? Ninja Guga, take out the midnight snack.

Guga!

Ninja Guga placed the scroll on its back onto the ground and unrolled it.

Hand seals were made, followed by a fierce slap.

Bang!

The scroll flashed with light, and out of thin air, a large bucket of steaming, glossy, and fragrant fried rice appeared.

The rich aroma of rice instantly permeated the air, directly overpowering the gloomy and moldy stench of the dungeon.

The guards could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The food made by this young master's martial soul had already spread throughout the sect long ago.

Although it was a bit expensive, they had heard that the taste could make a person forget the troubles of an entire day.

Some even said that after eating it, even if the sect master offered the position of sect master in exchange, they wouldn't trade.

Lin Xiao set the bowls and chopsticks aside.

Uncles, go ahead and eat. I'll go inside to chat for a bit.

The guards' eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly, their faces instantly revealing knowing expressions.

Mm-hmm! Go on, go ahead!

Young Master, please go right in! As long as the prisoner isn't let loose, the few of us didn't see a thing!

The men were clear-headed and wished nothing more than for Lin Xiao to stay a little longer.

This was top-tier fried rice made by Guga; it was rare to even get a single bite of it in the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Being able to freeload this midnight meal was definitely a great blessing.

Lin Xiao walked inside carrying a bowl of fried rice.

Although the cells here could not be called nice, they lacked that dark and damp feeling.

Xiao Wu had curled her entire body into the innermost corner, looking up through the small window at the moon in the sky, wondering what she was thinking about.

Clack—

The cell door was pushed open, and Xiao Wu withdrew her gaze, her two small feet shrinking inward in fear once more.
