"As you can see, our Soul Rings are all formed through a mysterious power. Nor has anyone at Maple Forest Evening ever killed a single Soul Beast. We only want to run our shop here."
Xiao Yexuan spoke frankly.
Xiao Wu now trusted him halfway.
If Xiao Yexuan wanted her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, he would have had Rem restrain her long ago.
"If... if I draw this Soul Bone, can I really take it away?"
Anticipation filled Xiao Wu's eyes. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone-after she used it, she would have even more hope of getting revenge.
"Of course you can. You should have met Maple Forest Evening's other two tenants, right? They've actually both obtained Soul Bones already. Once they come back, you'll naturally find out."
Xiao Yexuan nodded solemnly.
"So they already have Soul Bones. No wonder they're so powerful."
Xiao Wu now understood why they had lost.
Then, brimming with excitement, Xiao Wu spun the wheel.
She no longer had eyes for the Mystic Water Pills, only that priceless Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Unfortunately, how could Xiao Wu possibly hit the jackpot in a single pull?
She only got a bottle of coconut milk.
"Didn't you say leaving a review also gives you a draw?" Xiao Wu asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Here." Xiao Yexuan handed her a review card.
Xiao Wu only skimmed it, gave everything full stars, wrote "good," and finished.
[Ding! Received a positive review. Reward: ten points.]
The positive review came through.
But when Xiao Wu drew again, she still only got a bottle of coconut milk.
She really wished she could become Ning Rongrong right now and have more money than she could spend. Then couldn't she draw to her heart's content here?
"I... I'm going out! Mr. Landlord, I'll come back once I get more money!"
How could Xiao Wu spare a thought for her injuries now?
She hurried outside.
Xiao Yexuan did not stop her.
Let her go squeeze every treasure out of Tang San and Tang Hao.
After all, once Tang San knew Maple Forest Evening had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, wouldn't he find a way to get a huge pile of Gold Soul Coins?
Sure enough, after Xiao Wu told Tang San everything that had happened inside Maple Forest Evening, apart from the part where her true identity had been discovered-
Tang San practically started doing Thomas flares on the spot.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! That was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
A one-percent chance.
Each attempt required over three hundred and sixty draws.
A hundred draws only cost a little over thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins.
If thirty or forty thousand Gold Soul Coins could be exchanged for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Tang San would be making a killing.
So Tang San dragged his exhausted body back to Suotuo City.
He sold the hidden weapons he carried and some Dragon Whisker Needles. He even pried off several pieces of his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges to sell.
Only then did he manage to get a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for Xiao Wu.
Having spent so many things, Tang San's heart ached terribly.
But for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, he was going all out!
When Xiao Wu handed Xiao Yexuan the hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, delight filled his face.
Tang San really had gotten that many Gold Soul Coins for Xiao Wu.
Unfortunately, right now, only paying for a full year granted one draw.
A hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins only amounted to two hundred and seventy draws.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had also returned by then.
They looked at Xiao Wu with disdain as well.
When Xiao Wu finished drawing-
In two hundred and seventy draws, she had not drawn the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
"How... how could this happen! There's a one-percent chance of winning. Why didn't I get it in over two hundred draws?"
Xiao Wu wanted the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone so badly.
Having failed to draw it, she kept feeling that something was wrong with the wheel.
"Heh, it took this young lady five or six hundred draws to get it. You think you could win in just over two hundred?"
Ning Rongrong said with a faint smile.
"Third Brother emptied out everything he had to raise these hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Xiao Wu spoke in despair.
With no money left, would she have to make Tang San go out and sell his ass?
"Hey, Xiao Wu, seeing as we're classmates, sell those two Mystic Water Pills to me. This young lady will give you thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
The Mystic Water Pills worked so well that she wanted to take a batch back to her sect.
Xiao Wu froze for a moment. Didn't that mean she had money now?
Thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins was enough for over eighty draws.
If she happened to win the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, wouldn't she make a fortune?
So she sold the two Mystic Water Pills to Ning Rongrong without hesitation.
Keep drawing!
Uh...
Unfortunately, she still did not win.
It was not that Xiao Yexuan had rigged anything. Xiao Wu's luck was simply that bad.
In the end, she could only tell Tang San outside about this tragedy.
When Tang San heard that Ning Rongrong had taken five or six hundred draws to win, he understood that obtaining the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would not be so easy.
Still, Tang San comforted Xiao Wu.
He told Xiao Wu to stay at Maple Forest Evening for now. He would find a way to get money.
He could sell more hidden weapons!
Besides, didn't he have a mysterious Titled Douluo backing him?
Anything a Titled Douluo casually brought out would be worth his entire fortune.
Xiao Wu was not actually all that disappointed.
Once Tang San truly could not come up with any more money, she planned to make a trip back to Star Dou Great Forest.
As a king of the forest, she must have obtained plenty of good things too.
Casually taking some out to sell would fetch plenty of Gold Soul Coins.
Then Xiao Yexuan took her to try the Simulation Pod. Its functions simply left Xiao Wu marveling in amazement!
This really was much better than running every day at Shrek Academy.
The next day, after Ning Rongrong finished absorbing the Wisdom and Generosity Head Soul Bone, she threw herself into Xiao Yexuan's arms in excitement.
Her Soul Power had also reached level thirty as a result.
However, Xiao Yexuan did not let her absorb a Soul Ring. He wanted her to temper her body properly, just like Zhu Zhuqing.
That way, they could absorb Soul Rings of a higher age for their third Soul Rings.
He remembered that whale rubber had this effect too.
But the system had never rewarded him with whale rubber, so he would just keep striking Ning Rongrong with lightning.
By the afternoon, Tang San came looking for Xiao Wu again.
Only three pieces remained of Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
He really was going all out for the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
This time, there was more than last time.
Tang Hao had probably lent a hand too.
There were actually a full five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Converted into draws, that was over a thousand draws.
Xiao Wu found it a little unbelievable. She swallowed and said:
"Third Brother... did you sell your ass? How did you get so much money?"
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins! She would never have dared imagine it before.
"What do you mean, sell my ass? It took me a lot of effort to get this many Gold Soul Coins."
Tang San spoke with a twitch of his mouth.
"But you... you couldn't possibly come up with so much money all at once, right? Brother, you have to explain it clearly to me, or I won't feel at ease!"
Xiao Wu said stubbornly.
In the end, Tang San could not win against Xiao Wu. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered to her:
"Xiao Wu, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else. Actually, I seem to be from some great clan. Because of my outstanding strength, a senior Titled Douluo in the clan took a liking to me. Almost all these Gold Soul Coins are that senior's investment in us."
"A Titled... Douluo!"
At those words, Xiao Wu's pupils abruptly contracted, and her body shook.
She hurriedly ran into Maple Forest Evening.
"Where do you think you're running!" In hiding, Tang Hao heard his son reveal his strength and hurriedly charged out as well, intent on capturing Xiao Wu and bringing her back!
