Xiao Wu's Identity Exposed-Xiao Xue, Do You Want a Spirit Ring?

The night sky fell silent.

Outside the inn, Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue vanished from sight.

Back in the inn's luxurious suite, Ye Qingtian casually tossed Xiao Wu onto the floor as though she were garbage.

Her legs were already twisted out of shape, and her hands were mangled as well. There was no need to worry that Xiao Wu could escape on her own.

Of course, there was no need to worry that anyone could come here and rescue Xiao Wu either. No one in this world could accomplish such a thing right under his nose.

If someone truly could pull that off, Ye Qingtian certainly would not regret Xiao Wu being rescued. On the contrary, he would be thrilled to find another evenly matched opponent.

But unfortunately, no such person existed in the Douluo Universe.

"Grandpa Tian, why did you bring Xiao Wu back?"

"Judging by how she looks, you've practically crippled her already. There doesn't seem to be any point in bringing her back, does there?"

"Besides, Ning Rongrong was the real culprit behind slandering you. Why are you still giving her a chance?"

Qian Renxue was full of curiosity.

She examined Xiao Wu, whose face was nearly twisted with pain.

No matter how she looked at her, Xiao Wu seemed utterly ordinary. She could not spot anything unusual about her.

Furthermore, according to the intelligence she had gathered, Xiao Wu merely came from a place like Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and had no background whatsoever.

"Xiao Xue, when killing someone, you should leave them a shred of dignity."

"For someone like Ning Rongrong, who dared slander your Grandpa Tian, I could slap countless people like her to death."

"But since she had already slandered me to my face, letting her die so easily would be letting her off too lightly."

"Besides, you should know very well that your Grandpa Tian is not a bloodthirsty person. Why resort to fighting and killing?"

Ye Qingtian answered unconcernedly, his expression calm and composed.

...Grandpa Tian, why don't you think back on what you just said? If Ning Fengzhi doesn't come, you said you'd flatten the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Are you really sure you aren't bloodthirsty?

Do you even believe that yourself?

Qian Renxue felt utterly disheveled in the wind.

For some reason, she felt that Ye Qingtian's way of handling matters was completely different from that of older-generation figures like her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Ye Qingtian glanced at Qian Renxue.

He knew Qian Renxue far too well. With that single glance, how could he not know what she was thinking?

Without dwelling too much on Ning Rongrong's matter, Ye Qingtian took the initiative to change the subject.

"By the way, Xiao Xue, you are already level sixty-nine and about to break through to the Soul Sage threshold. It seems your Grandpa Tian should give you a gift."

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring should make a fitting gift for your breakthrough!"

Huh?

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

A gift for breaking through to Soul Sage?

Qian Renxue suddenly snapped awake.

She looked at Ye Qingtian in disbelief.

Had she heard him correctly?

Xiao Wu was even more horrified.

The words "Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring" came from Ye Qingtian's mouth.

An icy chill that pierced her bones had already enveloped her entire body.

Has my identity been exposed?

Impossible, that can't be possible!

If my identity had been exposed, this guy should have attacked me directly during the day.

But he clearly isn't afraid of Rongrong's threat, and he doesn't even care about Titled Douluo. His strength should be enough to discover my true form, right?

Xiao Wu's thoughts were in complete turmoil.

She worried about her identity.

All of a sudden, she became much more obedient.

Qian Renxue came back to her senses, her heart pounding rapidly.

"Grandpa Tian, Xiao Xue appreciates your kindness."

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are things one can only hope to encounter. There is no need for you to go to so much trouble."

"Xiao Xue knows that you have already retired and no longer care about many things. There is no need for you to travel so far for this."

As she spoke softly, Qian Renxue sounded somewhat reluctant and distressed.

She was reluctant to part with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. She knew Ye Qingtian was certainly capable of catching a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for her.

But she was also concerned. She did not want to see Ye Qingtian, at such an advanced age, running around for her affairs.

Ye Qingtian smiled faintly and said calmly,

"It is not as troublesome as you imagine. There is a ready-made one right here."

"Once this matter is settled, send this girl off directly and absorb her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

"Then, after you break through, prepare all the seasonings Grandpa Tian asked you to get. This little girl's true form is a Soft Bone Rabbit. When the time comes, Grandpa Tian will make you some spicy rabbit head."

Upon hearing that,

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, she had still been thinking that she probably had not been exposed.

Now, Ye Qingtian's words were like a massive hammer, striking her squarely on the head.

One blow left her completely dazed.

Qian Renxue sucked in a breath. "Grandpa Tian, are you saying that Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast?"

Ye Qingtian did not answer.

Qian Renxue understood. The way she looked at Xiao Wu gained a strange quality.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was actually right before her eyes.

And there was even a final method of dealing with her.

Hiss—

Grandpa Tian, isn't your way of dealing with her a little too cruel?

She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, after all. My tears... they're flowing from the corner of my mouth instead of my eyes!

Spicy rabbit head sounds delicious.

Xiao Wu's face turned pale as wax.

Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue chatted idly.

Words like "spicy rabbit head" repeatedly stimulated every nerve in her body.

No, it can't be, right?

They actually want to deal with me like this?

I don't want to die like this! Rongrong, think of something, quickly!

Xiao Wu was terrified to the extreme.

Unable to control herself, she looked toward the balcony.

Outside the inn.

After kneeling for quite some time, Ning Rongrong was finally helped to her feet by Zhu Zhuqing.

Her knees were crimson with blood, and even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.

"Rongrong, we made a huge mess of things today. Xiao Wu was even captured. Third Brother will definitely fly into a rage once he finds out," Zhu Zhuqing sighed.

Ning Rongrong winced from the pain in the corner of her mouth. "Third Brother will definitely be angry, but he has to know about this. Third Brother will surely find a way to rescue Xiao Wu."

"And the dean and the others will surely think of something too. Besides, there are also my father and my two grandpas."

"As long as they come, they will definitely find a way!"

Ning Rongrong wanted to head back toward Shrek Academy, but the moment she took a step, her body went limp and she nearly collapsed onto the ground.

Enduring the pain, tears streamed down her face. She had no idea why she had been so unlucky today, suffering so much humiliation in a single day.

Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly, crouched down, and carried Ning Rongrong onto her back. "Come on, Rongrong. I'll take you back!"

Lying on Zhu Zhuqing's back, Ning Rongrong let Zhu Zhuqing carry her toward Shrek Academy. She turned back with resentment and glared in the direction of the inn.

"You want to flatten our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Once my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone arrive, let's see whether you can still act so arrogantly!"

"I, Ning Rongrong, will definitely avenge today's humiliation!"
