Xiao Wu was somewhat puzzled. "Huh? Xiao Wu doesn't know you. Why do you want to treat Sister Xiao Wu to a meal? Sister Xiao Wu hasn't beaten you yet. But Sister Xiao Wu wants carrots, lots and lots of carrots."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I actually prefer meat, like rabbit. Spicy rabbit heads, braised rabbit legs, that sort of thing."

Xiao Wu had been quite happy that someone was treating her to a meal, but when she heard Chen Mo say he wanted to eat rabbit, her face fell on the spot.

Xiao Wu said angrily, "Hmph, bunnies are so cute. How can you eat bunnies? You can't eat bunnies! Sister Xiao Wu doesn't like you. You're a bad person, and I'm going to beat you! Hah!"

With that, Xiao Wu attacked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had no intention of lifting a finger. As he'd said before, he could leave this sort of thing to Lin Yaodong.

Xiao Wu's shapely leg was less than a meter from Chen Mo when Lin Yaodong blocked it.

Xiao Wu said, "Hmph, you're with the bad guy, so Sister Xiao Wu will beat you first."

With that, Xiao Wu and Lin Yaodong began to grapple.

There was no doubt that the gap between them was enormous.

Lin Yaodong cultivated his body and possessed the tremendous strength of several thousand jin.

When Xiao Wu struck Lin Yaodong, it only hurt him for a moment. But if Lin Yaodong hit Xiao Wu with all his strength, she would probably collapse on the spot and be unable to get up.

Of course, Lin Yaodong didn't use much strength against the little girl, nor did he even use his Soul Power.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, had long since used every move she could, whether it involved Soul Power or Soul Skills, yet she still couldn't avert defeat.

Once Lin Yaodong had gotten the measure of her, he subdued her in a few moves.

Seeing Sister Xiao Wu subdued, Wang Sheng and the others called out "Sister Xiao Wu!" in alarm. One of the sharper ones hurried back to find Tang San.

Holding Xiao Wu, Lin Yaodong said calmly to her, "Little girl, you were very rude just now. Uncle Dong doesn't like that."

Although Xiao Wu had lost the fight, her spirit hadn't faltered one bit.

Xiao Wu said, "Hey, big guy, that didn't count! Sister Xiao Wu was careless just now. If you've got the guts, put Sister Xiao Wu down and let's fight again."

Chen Mo walked over to Lin Yaodong, rubbed Xiao Wu's head, and smiled.

Xiao Wu said, "Hmph, bad guy, you're not allowed to touch my head! If you've got the guts, have this big guy put me down and fight me. Sister Xiao Wu will show you how strong I am!"

Chen Mo continued stroking her head as he said, "You little rabbit, you've got some nerve, don't you? Why did you come to the human world instead of staying put in the Star Dou Great Forest? Even if you had to come to the human world, couldn't you have picked a better place? You went straight to a place where a Titled Douluo lives in seclusion. And as if that weren't enough, you just had to get so close to his son, Tang San. You really are a silly rabbit! You'll probably get eaten and have to throw in a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone on top of it. Wouldn't you say so, little hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit?"

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Xiao Wu turned pale with fright and stopped struggling in Lin Yaodong's grasp.

Xiao Wu spoke in a trembling voice. "Y-you, how did you know? W-who are you? Could you be a Titled... Douluo?"

Chen Mo smiled. "Titled Douluo aren't the only ones in this world who can see through your identity. As for who I am, perhaps you'll find out someday."

Xiao Wu asked fearfully, "Have you come to kill me too?"

Chen Mo said indifferently, "That depends on how you behave."

Chen Mo put on a frightening expression and said, "If you don't behave, I'll eat you."

Chen Mo's mouth began to water a little more. "Come to think of it, I've never eaten a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit before. It must taste wonderful."

At those words, Xiao Wu was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Xiao Wu cried out, "Xiao Wu doesn't taste good! Don't eat Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu will be very good, sob..."

Just then, a childish voice rang out.

"Let Xiao Wu go."

Little San had arrived. Hearing his voice, Xiao Wu was happy at first, but then her feelings grew complicated.

The bad guy in front of her had said that Little San's father was a Titled Douluo.

Xiao Wu was simply innocent, naive, and rash as a person, but she wasn't hopelessly stupid.

Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo, so what did that make her?

A reserved Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

Tang San and Xiao Wu had only known each other for three months. At most, they could be considered friends now; they hadn't yet reached the point of opening their hearts to each other completely.

In fact, Xiao Wu was still on guard against everyone.

If Chen Mo had said these things a few years later, Xiao Wu probably wouldn't have broken with Tang San so easily.

But now, who didn't have a few familiar strangers in their life?

After learning that Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San differently.

Xiao Wu recalled the time she had spent with Tang San and noticed more and more things that didn't add up.

How could an ordinary Soul Master possibly be a match for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Master like her? She had fought countless times and been through countless life-and-death battles.

If his Soul Power Level had been much higher than hers, that would have been one thing. But his Soul Power was clearly about the same as hers, yet his combat experience was so extensive.

There were also those strange "Hidden Weapons" of his.

Having spent some time in the human world, Xiao Wu understood that the Hidden Weapons Tang San spoke of probably weren't things an ordinary Soul Master could possess either.

So his father, the Titled Douluo, must have taught him all those skills, right?

Even his approach to her must have been his father's idea, right?

And she had always thought Tang San smelled wonderful and felt a sense of closeness to him. Those things were probably also the work of Tang San's father, that Titled Douluo.

Now it seemed that everything Tang San had done was an act.

Humans are disgusting!

Xiao Wu thought to herself.

Without even realizing it, Chen Mo had broken up a pair.

How wonderful!

Chen Mo did dislike Tang San, but making a move against him would waste a trump card. In that case, he would just treat him as a stranger.

But Chen Mo had never said he couldn't snatch Tang San's opportunities!

Weren't opportunities meant to be snatched?

Surely no one really believed that opportunities depended on fate, did they?

If he really did end up facing the Clear Sky Douluo over it, he would just waste a trump card.

One trump card in exchange for Tang Hao's Soul Bone, the Blue Silver Emperor, and a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit, with the chance to cut the weeds and pull up the roots and set his mind at ease thrown in at the end-that was a huge profit.

Of course, if he could obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast without wasting a trump card, especially one that had undergone the special soul beast transformation, Chen Mo would profit even more. It would be completely free!

"Great, Tang San is here! Sister Xiao Wu is saved!"

Wang Sheng and the others chimed in.

"Who are you? Let Xiao Wu go, now."

Tang San spoke in his childish voice, though there was something somewhat strange about his tone.

He was clearly a child, but he spoke like an adult, without the slightest trace of childishness.

Chen Mo looked at Tang San, feeling somewhat emotional.
