A man and a woman, one on top of the other.
"Mmph."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
A slender pink tongue was exceedingly warm.
Xiao Wu's tongue!
Its target was the pill he had just placed in his mouth!
Normally, I might really have given it to you, but this pill is going to save my life!
Xiao Yan steeled himself and sent the pill straight down his throat, then circulated his Soul Power.
The pill instantly entered his stomach.
Xiao Wu's pretty face was crimson. She sucked frantically, but could no longer find any trace of the pill.
At that very moment, the girl's eyes returned to normal.
Her ruby-red eyes froze.
The pill was gone.
She had finally regained her senses!
"You!"
The two were still pressed together.
Xiao Wu sat bolt upright. Looking at Xiao Yan beneath her, she immediately covered her eyes.
The girl had finally returned to her shy self.
"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm the victim here!"
Xiao Yan wanted to curse. Xiao Wu was still sitting on his stomach, leaving him unable to move.
Xiao Wu's little face reddened.
"Could you get up first? You're so tiny, but your butt is really big. You nearly crushed me to death!"
Xiao Wu clenched her teeth and hurriedly stood up.
"Whose butt are you calling big!?"
Xiao Yan refused to back down. "Yours! Rogue Rabbit!"
At the words "Rogue Rabbit," Xiao Wu immediately bristled.
The two broke into a scuffle again.
After who knew how long,
Xiao Yan suddenly fell to the ground.
A warm current suddenly spread through his entire body.
"So hot!"
Xiao Yan suddenly fell to the ground, his skin turning visibly crimson.
His stomach was warm. The pill had taken effect!
"Hold on. As the pill neutralizes the poison, it will also baptize the bloodline, muscles, and bones throughout your body."
"Once it succeeds, your physical body will also grow a degree stronger!"
Yao Lao's dry voice offered a timely reminder.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the discomfort.
He circulated his Soul Power. Though it was only at rank three, it was enough to digest the pill's power.
"What's wrong!?" Xiao Wu was startled too. She almost thought this fellow had lost control just like she had.
A faint medicinal fragrance rose into the air.
An exceptionally soft, jade-green glow turned into vapor and drifted through Xiao Yan's hair.
"What a potent medicinal fragrance!"
Xiao Wu craned her neck and leaned close to Xiao Yan's hair, sniffing deeply.
"Was it because of that pill!?"
"With such powerful medicinal effects, no wonder it made me lose control!"
Xiao Wu murmured.
I only just transformed from a Soul Beast into a human. Sure enough, I've retained some Soul Beast traits. From now on, I have to suppress this creature's instincts!
Xiao Wu secretly swore!
"So hot!"
Xiao Yan suddenly roared.
A wave of heat burst from his mouth, nearly setting Xiao Wu's clothes alight.
Immediately afterward, a black mist appeared, sending a shiver through the heart.
It was the poison remaining in Xiao Yan's body!
"Rogue Rabbit! Get out of the way! That stuff is extremely poisonous!" Even while suffering, Xiao Yan still warned Xiao Wu.
Rogue Rabbit!
Xiao Wu practically wanted to let Xiao Yan try the Soft Bone Rabbit's first Soul Skill again!
But at the same time, she felt a warmth.
Aside from Mom, Da Ming, and Er Ming, this fellow has treated me the best.
Even at a moment of life and death, he was still looking out for her!
Earlier, he had even given her Gold Soul Coins worth two months of her allowance!
Finally, half an hour later,
A fiery red silhouette appeared.
"Is that this fellow's Martial Soul!?"
The silhouette was shrouded in chaos, making it hard to discern.
But that intense heat was enough to inspire dread!
"So strong..."
Xiao Wu was astonished. With her rank-eleven Soul Power, she actually felt afraid of this Martial Soul that was only rank three.
This was bloodline suppression from a superior Martial Soul!
Even with the difference in rank, the fear in her bloodline remained unaffected!
Within Xiao Yan's subconscious,
The Martial Soul that had been indistinct during his Martial Soul Awakening suddenly became clear.
A flame!
A flame capable of burning everything and devouring the void!
Martial Soul: Ultimate Fire!
Xiao Yan let out a long breath and stood up in delight.
The threat of the poison had finally been removed!
And there was another pleasant surprise!
His Soul Power had recovered another four ranks in one go!
He was now a rank-seven Soul Scholar!
A powerful vitality and a sense of strength filled every cell.
"Bastard Tang San, I might not be afraid of you now!"
Xiao Yan believed that as long as Tang San had not obtained his first Soul Ring, he had a chance of winning, even with a three-rank difference!
Ultimate Fire was enough to let him fight across ranks!
Then he abruptly turned around.
The sight before him made Xiao Yan want to eat rabbit meat!
Xiao Wu was sitting on the guest table, feasting on the remaining medicinal ingredients.
"Now, you'd better tell me what happened to you just now!" Xiao Yan folded his arms and raised an eyebrow at her.
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.
"Don't think I haven't seen your Rogue Rabbit side. Now you're pretending to be cute?"
"Hmph, it won't work!"
At that, Xiao Wu put down the spiritual herb and looked at Xiao Yan with a grin.
A pale yellow Soul Ring appeared.
She raised a tender pink fist. "Then what do you want to do about it?"
He wouldn't listen to reason?
Then he could try Sister Xiao Wu's fists!
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and his eyelid jumped.
"A word of warning: right now, you probably really can't beat this girl!"
In his subconscious, Yao Lao chuckled.
Where did this girl come from? How is she even fiercer than that brat Tang San? She already has a Soul Ring! Xiao Yan was indignant, but found he had no grounds to argue.
Yao Lao's smile faded slightly, and he said softly, "This girl isn't human!"
Not human!?
"Fuck!"
Xiao Yan shouted aloud in the real world.
Not human!
Damn it, were there ghosts on Douluo Continent too!?
"Ghost!"
"A ghost!?" Xiao Wu was puzzled.
Xiao Yan swallowed. "Aren't you a ghost!?"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "You're the ghost! Your whole family are ghosts!"
"You silly brat, you're practically giving off an air of stupidity!" Yao Lao could hold it in no longer and burst out laughing.
"Just because I said she isn't human, does that mean she has to be a ghost!?"
"This girl is a Soul Beast!"
A Soul Beast!
His pupils contracted sharply, and Xiao Yan stared in surprise at the girl before him.
A Soul Beast transforming into a human.
That was something only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could do!
This Xiao Wu before him was actually...
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!?
The existence at the very top of every Soul Master's wish list...
A red Soul Ring!
"What are you trying to do!?" Swept by Xiao Yan's heated gaze, Xiao Wu pursed her lips, a little embarrassed.
"Don't think that just because you kissed me while I was out of control, you can be Sister Xiao Wu's boyfriend!"
"You still have to work a lot harder!"
"Who wants to be your boyfriend? Looks like you're not just a Rogue Rabbit, you're a narcissist too!"
Xiao Yan shook his head.
Although the two did not know each other well, they had formed a connection.
On that basis alone, they could more or less be considered friends.
No matter what, he could never do something like killing her to steal her Soul Ring!
He wasn't a petty man like Tang San, who put profit above all else!
"Is your name Xiao Wu!?" Xiao Yan asked.
"High heels and skin-tight pants, call me Sister Xiao Wu-remember it!"
Xiao Yan rubbed his brow awkwardly.
Why was she spouting street slogans now?
"Oh, right, you still haven't told me your name." Xiao Wu opened her bright red eyes wide.
He had to admit, this girl was really quite cute when she kept her mouth shut.
He really wished he could sew this fellow's mouth shut.
Xiao Yan thought to himself.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Xiao Yan smiled. "My name is Xiao Yan!"
Yao Lao, inside the ring, witnessed the scene.
The old man stroked his long beard and chuckled softly. "A young man and a young woman-the true course of the world is ever-changing..."
From that moment on, the two became acquainted.
