Su Mo patted Xiao Wu's perky bottom. "Alright, if they want to look, let them look."
Anyway, he had discovered that items he pulled could actually be stored directly inside cards.
As long as he didn't want them to, other people couldn't see them at all.
This was something he had only recently figured out.
He found that his soul skills could actually turn into cards, though they lasted a very short time-only two and a half minutes.
This actually came as a pleasant surprise to him, meaning he could store a bunch of cards before fighting in the future.
Throwing them all out during battle-that feeling sounded awesome no matter how he thought about it.
Of course, it wasn't actually that useful, since skills of the same type couldn't stack.
Still, applying buffs to others had become a lot more convenient.
"Humph, you guys got off easy." Xiao Wu snorted, then urged, "Hurry up and draw, Su Mo!"
Instantly, everyone else in the dorm crowded around.
Su Mo didn't waste any breath and directly shoved that Gacha Coin into the Gashapon Machine.
As the Gashapon Machine began to spin, Xiao Wu's breathing grew ragged; clearly she wasn't the one drawing, but she was even more nervous than Su Mo.
Wang Sheng and the others stared curiously at the Gashapon Machine.
This was the first time they had ever seen one.
Soon, a blue egg rolled out from the exit and into Su Mo's hand.
Xiao Wu urged hastily, "Quickly open it!"
Su Mo squeezed the egg, and then a card materialized in his hand.
Xiao Wu leaned in curiously. "What is this?"
Wang Sheng and the others were equally curious.
"Is this the thing Bro Su pulled out of his Gashapon Machine?"
"So magical! Is this card any good?"
"Bro Su, what is this? Tell us already."
Su Mo stared with a strange expression at the card in his hand.
A piece of information floated up in his mind.
[Blue Silver Grass (Blue Silver Emperor): Contains the origin of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor within its body. Current status: Remnant soul rebirthing, infant stage. Bound to host: Su Mo.]
Wait, was this for sure not pulling Little Scumbag's own mother out?
Did this "bound" status mean direct submission of loyalty?
Su Mo didn't understand, but he guessed it must be something like that.
Still, he hadn't expected that he could actually pull a Soul Beast.
Fortunately, it could be bound to him directly; otherwise, if he pulled a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast later on, wouldn't he be completely screwed?
With a thought in his mind, the card turned into a stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
This stalk of Blue Silver Grass was entirely blue-and-gold, with extremely fine starlight patterns along the edges of its leaves.
It swayed gently in the palm of Su Mo's hand.
Wang Sheng and the few others looked somewhat disappointed.
"Ah? Blue Silver Grass? Isn't that everywhere on the continent?"
"Bro Su, your draw luck really isn't much, pulling just a Blue Silver Grass out."
"We just had a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and now you pulled a Blue Silver Grass. Seems kind of fitting, though."
"When you put it like that, true. Hahaha, I don't know why, but I thought of Tang-San again."
The group scattered in all directions; they weren't curious about Blue Silver Grass at all.
After all, Blue Silver Grass was universally acknowledged to be everywhere across the continent.
There was simply nothing to see.
Xiao Wu, however, frowned. She always felt this stalk of Blue Silver Grass gave her a familiar feeling.
She shook her head, figuring she must be overthinking it.
This was obviously just an ordinary stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
"Su Mo, are you planning to raise it?"
Su Mo nodded. "Of course."
No matter what, this was still a Blue Silver Emperor; if it really was Ah Yin, that would get very interesting.
Su Mo found a flower pot, planted the Blue Silver Grass inside it, and then placed it by the head of his bed.
As things stood right now, this was all he could do.
He didn't even know if it could grow up.
Though, it probably could, right?
After all, someone like Tang Hao could keep Ah Yin alive even after planting her in a pitch-black, sunless cave.
At least his own place had sunlight.
To be honest, back when he was reading the book, Su Mo thought it was utterly absurd to plant a plant in a cave without sunlight; he had no idea what Tang Hao was thinking.
He could only say that Ah Yin was simply too important to Tang Hao.
So important that she had to be protected with the utmost care.
"Hey, Su Mo, don't you feel like this Blue Silver Grass is very different?" Xiao Wu asked suddenly.
Su Mo of course knew what Xiao Wu was talking about, but he was curious-could Xiao Wu actually sense it?
Could this be some kind of mutual sensing between hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts?
He sensed carefully himself and found nothing special about it; it looked no different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
As expected, he wasn't a Soul Beast, so perhaps he lacked that ability.
Still, this was for the best. At least in the eyes of everyone else, this was the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass imaginable.
"What are you thinking? Isn't this just a completely ordinary stalk of Blue Silver Grass?"
Su Mo rubbed Xiao Wu's head, telling her not to let her imagination run wild.
"Really? Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?" Xiao Wu wore a skeptical look.
Su Mo chuckled and patted her head. "Hiding what? Why would I lie to you?"
"Alright, are you going to sleep or not? If not, I'm going to sleep."
Even though he could completely tell Xiao Wu the truth of the matter.
He felt it was better not to say anything, otherwise there was no telling how anxious Xiao Wu would be all day long.
After all, she herself was a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast; if she found out there was another Blue Silver Emperor right here, heaven knew what kind of panic Xiao Wu would plunge into.
Rather than letting Xiao Wu's mind wander endlessly, it was better to keep her in the dark.
Xiao Wu lowered her head, her gaze suddenly falling upon the ring in her hand.
"Su Mo, you said before that this ring can hide one's aura, right?"
Su Mo was taken aback. Why was Xiao Wu bringing this up out of nowhere? Still, he nodded in response. "That's right."
Xiao Wu muttered to herself, "Can it really hide it?"
Her thoughts were very complicated. Right now, she truly hoped this could help her conceal her Soul Beast aura.
"Of course it can. Anyway, ever since you put it on, I haven't been able to sense your aura at all. What, don't you believe me?" Su Mo patted Xiao Wu's back.
Everything he said was true; ever since Xiao Wu put it on, he hadn't felt the slightest ripple of Soul Power coming from her.
You could say it was extremely magical.
Sometimes, even when Xiao Wu stood right behind him without speaking, he wouldn't even know she was there.
Xiao Wu bit her pink, tender lips and said softly, "Of course I believe you. It's just that I always feel like you seem to know things sometimes."
"And I always feel like you're hiding a lot of things from me."
Su Mo was stunned, giving Xiao Wu a suspicious look.
Could this girl have figured something out?
Could she have realized that he knew she was a transformed hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?
That shouldn't be possible, right? He hadn't given anything away.
Su Mo smiled and said, "What could I possibly hide from you? You even know what color underpants I'm wearing, what else could I keep from you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu blushed fiercely and kicked Su Mo right in the butt. "Peh! Who wants to know what color your underpants are?!"
Su Mo teased, "You really don't want to know?!"
"Get out, get out, get out! Who wants to know? Su Mo, did you do that on purpose?!" Furious, Xiao Wu kicked Su Mo again.
Su Mo clutched his backside. "Ow, ouch, ouch! Can't you be a little gentler!"
"Peh, serves you right!" Xiao Wu spat lightly.
"Alright, go to sleep!" Su Mo pulled Xiao Wu into his arms and rubbed her head.
