Hearing this, Wang Sheng and the others shuddered, a layer of cold sweat breaking out across their backs.
They had actually guessed long ago that Lin Chuan was probably a young master from some great family, out experiencing ordinary life, and that he should be fairly strong.
But never in their wildest dreams had they imagined Lin Chuan would be this strong.
With just one move, he had subdued their Sister Xiao Wu!
How could they object now?
What did they have to object with?
They were not even as strong as Sister Xiao Wu. If they dared voice an objection now, wouldn't they be asking for a beating?
Besides, if they could acknowledge a young master from a great family like him as their boss, wouldn't they be soaring straight into the sky from now on?
If they really managed to cling to this mighty thigh, would those students who weren't work-study students still dare bully them?
Surely they would never dare!
Coming back to their senses, Wang Sheng and the others hurriedly nodded, their heads bobbing like chicks pecking at grain as they said in unison:
"Big Brother Lin Chuan, from now on, you're the boss of our Dorm Seven. How would we dare object?"
At these words, the corners of Lin Chuan's mouth lifted slightly. He nodded in satisfaction, swept his gaze over them, and said:
"Good. In that case, as your boss, I'll naturally have your backs. If anyone bullies you from now on, just tell me, and I'll beat the hell out of them."
Hearing this, Wang Sheng and the others were instantly beside themselves with excitement, their eyes lighting up.
Just as they'd thought!
Someone from a great family really did protect his own!
There was truly nothing to fault in how he treated his own people. He would definitely look after underlings like them.
They'd struck gold, struck gold!
Getting a boss like this was practically a meat pie falling from the sky!
Wouldn't they be able to walk sideways through this academy from now on?
Xiao Wu was only six years old now. Though her features were lovely, as if carved from jade and dusted with pink, and she was unquestionably a budding beauty.
She was still a little short.
Only about one and a half meters tall.
As for Lin Chuan, despite also being only six, with exquisitely refined features and a hint of childishness about his brows and eyes, he was already nearly one meter sixty-five. Standing before Xiao Wu, he towered a good deal above her.
So Xiao Wu could only rise onto her tiptoes and lean toward Lin Chuan's ear, bringing her vivid red lips close as she asked quietly:
"Lin Chuan, tell me, did you undergo Soul Beast Transformation as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, just like me?"
Since Xiao Wu was speaking right beside his ear, her warm breath escaped involuntarily as she spoke, brushing gently against it.
That instantly gave Lin Chuan goosebumps.
He couldn't help grumbling inwardly.
As expected of a hundred-thousand-year-old rogue rabbit. That move alone really was quite a tease.
Whether she did it deliberately or not.
Just tell me, when a girl speaks right against your ear like this, can you take it?
Coming back to his senses, Lin Chuan curled his lips slightly, a half-smile appearing on his face as he answered:
"Take a guess."
At those words, Xiao Wu rolled her eyes on the spot.
Guess, my foot.
Isn't it obvious?
With that auspicious presence coming off you, that sense of destiny and fortune intertwined, if you underwent Soul Beast Transformation, I, Xiao Wu, would wash my hair standing on my head.
"My guess is that you definitely did." Having thought this, Xiao Wu no longer hesitated and answered with absolute certainty.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't hold back a laugh.
This girl Xiao Wu really had guessed correctly.
But... she was only half right.
After all, in his current state, he was both human and an Auspicious Beast, half of each, so her guess matched exactly half.
But Lin Chuan's thoughts took a turn, and he suddenly wanted to tease this little rabbit.
So he put on a half-smile, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Lowering his voice, he leaned toward her ear with a hint of playfulness and whispered:
"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but you guessed wrong."
"Still, you've got quite some nerve, little rabbit, wandering into human society so soon after transforming. Tell me... should I take this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or not?"
"After all, there's no one in this world who can resist the temptation of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
The instant those words left his mouth, Xiao Wu completely freaked out.
She truly freaked out.
Her delicate little face went as white as paper, and even her lips were trembling.
Could... could I have guessed wrong?
Could that person's Martial Soul really just have a presence somewhat similar to an Auspicious Beast's?
Waaah...
It's over, it's over, it's over. This time, it's really over!
Mom, is Xiao Wu going to die here today?
I haven't avenged Mom yet!
I don't want to die yet!
The more she thought, the more frightened she became, and the more frightened she became, the more she thought. Xiao Wu's eyes began to redden, tears swirling inside them as though the dam might burst at any moment.
Despair filled her little face.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan froze.
He truly hadn't expected Xiao Wu to be so unable to take a little teasing.
How many words had he even said?
And she was already about to cry?
But after thinking it over, Lin Chuan felt that it really was his fault.
Although Xiao Wu had indeed undergone Soul Beast Transformation as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her personality was far too innocent.
He strongly suspected that all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who underwent Soul Beast Transformation were like this.
For a moment, Lin Chuan felt a little embarrassed.
But he had, after all, lived two lives. Between his previous life and this one, he had seen his fair share of things.
Besides, he had already been working on winning over the Ice Empress and Snow Empress before this. Whether he had mastered flirting was hard to say, but he did have at least some experience comforting people.
So he chuckled softly, softened his tone, and said:
"All right, all right, don't cry. If you keep crying, I really won't hold back."
"Relax, I have no interest in your Soul Ring at all. But since I scared you, I ought to make it up to you."
"How about this? I'll take you to buy carrots in a little while. You can buy as many as you want, all you can eat. How's that?"
Xiao Wu stood before Lin Chuan, tilting her little face up and looking at him pitifully.
Her eyes were red, and her heart was full of grievance, but she still fought back her tears, her voice carrying a slight sob:
"Is everything you said true? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Lin Chuan smiled, his tone relaxed:
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Besides, lying to you wouldn't do me any good. If I really wanted your Soul Ring, with my strength, I could simply take it. Why would I go to all this trouble?"
Xiao Wu blinked and thought it over carefully. That really did seem to make sense.
Yes, with Lin Chuan's strength, if he really wanted to seize her Soul Ring, she wouldn't be able to stop him at all.
The grievance in her heart instantly vanished like smoke and clouds. A smile returned to her face, and she said happily:
"Thank you. You really are a good person."
The corner of Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless inwardly.
Did I just... get handed the good guy card?
