The blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Xiao Wu reacted extremely quickly, bending her waist backward, her whole body almost touching the sword's edge as she bent down.
The blade barely grazed above her nose, but the sword energy did not dissipate; instead, it flew off the sword and swept across an ancient tree behind her that was as thick as a person's waist.
With a sharp crack, the tree trunk snapped cleanly and fell to the ground with a crash.
Amidst the falling leaves, Xiao Wu braced herself with her hands on the ground, intending to use the momentum to spring away, when suddenly everything went dark.
Wang Xiaoming's fist followed closely behind.
With a force capable of shattering gold and splitting stone, a punch landed squarely on her shoulder, sending her flying sideways, rolling twice on the ground before coming to a stop.
Wang Xiaoming originally wanted to slap him in the face, but then thought better of it.
Xiao Wu lay on the ground, her rabbit ears drooping, and raised her head with a dusty and dirty face.
That almost brought tears to her eyes!
Wang Xiaoming deactivated his transformation and appeared in front of Xiao Wu, looking at her with a smile and extending his hand.
"Are you convinced now?"
"Hmph, I give up..."
Although she was beaten down, she was still unconvinced.
This guy doesn't look like a first-ring Soul Master at all!
Looking at Wang Xiaoming's hand, she still let out a soft hum and reached out to touch it, but Wang Xiaoming dodged it directly.
"???"
Xiao Wu's hand touched empty air, her mind filled with questions.
"Who wants your hand? Give me your things."
"Oh..."
Xiao Wu pouted and reluctantly handed the Card Deck to Wang Xiaoming, silently sticking her tongue out at him in her mind.
[You jerk, you have absolutely no sense of consideration for girls...]
Wang Xiaoming didn't care what the silly rabbit was thinking; recovering its power was the top priority.
He placed the Card Deck in front of the camera lens.
Mirror Xiaoming hid in the decorative gems on the Xiao Wu rabbit's bag, his smile almost impossible to suppress.
The surprise he prepared for Wang Xiaoming is coming!
Click.
With the click of a shutter, the Card Deck transformed into a thin card to Xiao Wu's astonishment.
"Welcome back, Dragon... Rider?"
Wang Xiaoming held it up to his eyes and examined it closely, but the next moment, he felt as if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Why does the Ryuki on the card look a bit pinkish?
Did it fade?
He rubbed his eyes, but the color was still pink...
At this moment, Mirror Xiaoming was lying on the ground laughing so hard he couldn't stand up.
This is exactly the effect he wanted!
Wang Xiaoming didn't believe it and directly inserted it into the drive.
"Transform!"
[ Kamen Ride - Ryuki!!]
With a powerful mechanical sound, Wang Xiaoming instantly transformed into Ryuki.
They look exactly the same, but...
Wang Xiaoming examined his bare hands and feet outside his silver armor. They really were pink!
Xiao Wu sat on the ground, watching Wang Xiaoming with great interest.
"Hey~ this color is prettier than the pink one before. I like this pink."
"That was a magenta!"
Wang Xiaoming had just retorted when he suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes, staring at Xiao Wu.
Could the changes in the Ryuki be related to this silly rabbit?
He looked down at the summoner on his arm, and sure enough, it had also transformed into a rabbit.
Although he doesn't need to use it, it's still strangely unsettling to look at...
He quickly drew the [ Contract Advent ] card.
Sure enough, it wasn't the Dragreder on it, but the image of this silly rabbit!
Why is his Ryuki Blank Form?!
The Blank Form Contract Beast has changed. For some reason, this silly rabbit in front of me took advantage of the situation and turned into her!
No wonder she said things like "master" that didn't make sense... so she knew she'd become Contract Beast?
Looking at the rabbit sitting on the ground with a silly expression, Wang Xiaoming felt a sense of despair.
His Dragreder is gone!
Mirror, they tricked him!
However, he soon realized that this wasn't without its advantages.
He can directly use Xiao Wu's Martial Soul with the Advent Card or summon her.
Although I don't know what happened, it's okay. I can still contract other Contract Beast in the future. At worst... I can keep this card to call for help.
Furthermore, he also received some information about the Blank Contract Card.
"This card effect... is a bit too overpowered!"
There's no other reason than that when a normal Soul Beast is killed, its Soul Ring can only be absorbed by the person who delivered the final blow. However, once a soul beast is bound to a contract, even if it dies, its soul ring can only be absorbed by its master!
Unless he, the master, dies before the Contract Beast.
What a great contract...
Wang Xiaoming gave Xiao Wu a disgruntled look and deactivated his transformation.
Still laughing!
When you have time, I'll get your two younger brothers contracted together, so you can all be together!
We can't let any of these Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast escape; leave none alive!
Xiao Wu didn't react to his disdainful look.
For some reason, after Wang Xiaoming took the Card Deck back, she found him inexplicably pleasing to the eye... and it didn't seem so wrong to call him "master."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, stood up, brushed the mud off her skirt and legs, and went over.
"Um, Xiaoming, can I ask you something?"
Xiao Wu put on a sweet girl act, blushing as she stood next to Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you call me master? Why are you calling me brother now?"
Xiao Wu poked her finger and said somewhat shyly.
"Master... you can call me that, but... can we not call me Master in public... I'm the head of the academy, after all. It would be too much if people saw me calling you Master..."
"Sure, call me 'brother' in public, and 'master' in private. I don't mind if you play it a little fancy."
Xiao Wu nodded.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Xiao Wu, who had suddenly become docile, and felt somewhat puzzled.
So, wouldn't you say he hijacked the deal?
San'er, this isn't my fault. Strictly speaking, it was Xiao Wu who took the initiative...
Hehehe.
"Call out 'Master' so I can hear it?"
"Master... Master."
Xiao Wu's ears were so red they looked like they could drip blood, and her voice was barely audible.
But Wang Xiaoming was already satisfied.
After all, he didn't put in much effort.
"Then, should I stay with you from now on?"
Hearing Xiao Wu say that, Wang Xiaoming stroked his chin, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. He leaned closer to Xiao Wu and said, "Stay here and help me keep an eye on Tang San. You can also flirt with him every now and then."
Xiao Wu didn't react at first, but when she realized what it meant, her whole face turned red to the roots of her ears.
"You... you want me to seduce him?! You wish!"
She hates Tang San the most right now!
She's a rabbit with an owner!
Wang Xiaoming corrected him seriously. "What do you mean by seduction?"
This is called self-protection (the self-cultivation of a "bad girl"). The core idea is to make him feel that you are interested in him, but you don't take the initiative to make it clear. Let him imagine it himself and struggle to the point of insomnia.
The more he thinks about you, the less he'll be able to focus on anything else, and the easier your life will be.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
After all, you wouldn't want to become Soul Ring, would you...?
