Chapter 16: Coax

Using the method of concealing aura, Bai Yuan concealed Xiao Wu's aura and brought her all the way back inside the tree.

Seeing the man carrying a girl back, Bai Yu, who was teaching Ning Rongrong to wash vegetables, exclaimed in surprise, "Master, why did you bring back another woman?"

Ning Rongrong also raised her head, but when she made out the figure Bai Yuan had brought back, she was shocked.

Logically, Xiao Wu should have been with Zhao Wují at this time, yet she was captured and brought back……

Bai Yuan casually tossed Xiao Wu to the ground, removed his mask, revealing his flawless handsome face, and said, "She isn't human; she is the true rebirth of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

Bai Yu remained calm, merely staring curiously at Xiao Wu with her big eyes, as if trying to see how she differed from herself and ordinary people.

Ning Rongrong first stared at Bai Yuan's appearance in a daze, then after hearing his words, she stiffened all over.

Xiao Wu is a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast?

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast is right beside them?

Ning Rongrong didn't believe it, but after glancing at Bai Yuan, she showed an expression that wanted to refute yet dared not speak.

Bai Yuan ignored Ning Rongrong's feelings; he simply formed a hand seal, condensed a water ball out of thin air, and then struck Xiao Wu's face with it.

Instantly, Xiao Wu woke up.

"What just happened? I feel... my back hurts so much," Xiao Wu muttered, rubbing the back of her head in a daze.

Bai Yuan's calm voice sounded: "Pain is good; there will be even more pain waiting for you later."

Xiao Wu's body stiffened, and she hurriedly got up from the ground.

Red light burst from her body; under the faint red glow, her eyes turned red, her ears gradually lengthened, and soft white fur sprang up from the sides of her head.

At the same time, Xiao Wu's stature seemed to grow a bit taller; a gentle soul power aura undulated around her body, and two yellow rings rose beneath her feet.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Wu turned and ran.

Even a five-ring Soul King can't do anything to him; now that I'm facing him alone, why wouldn't I run?

Bai Yuan snorted coldly: "It seems you're just like Ning Rongrong; without a lesson, you won't behave."

"Illusion Formation, activate!"

This place, serving as Bai Yuan's main base, has numerous formations set up, and unlike the ones previously constructed in the hotel using internal spiritual power,

the formations here all have materials as their foundation; in other words, they are stronger and more lasting.

As the Illusion Formation activated, the environment before Xiao Wu's eyes underwent a huge change, yet seemed unchanged.

Xiao Wu ran with all her might toward the tree gate, she burst through the trees and sprinted with all her strength through the forest.

But behind her, Bai Yuan pursued relentlessly, occasionally launching attacks that hurt her so much she cried out, forcing her to run even more desperately.

No matter how hard she tried, even drenched in sweat with her clothes soaked, she couldn't shake off Bai Yuan.

It was as if an invisible rope bound them, keeping their distance perpetually just shy of closing.

In Ning Rongrong's view, Xiao Wu looked like a fool, desperately running in circles on the spot.

"I want to see how long you can keep running." Bai Yuan silently watched Xiao Wu run, occasionally launching a burst of spiritual power that made her scream and run even harder.

Ning Rongrong saw a flicker of pity in her eyes; fortunately she didn't resist, otherwise the person being tormented like this would likely be her.

After a long while, Xiao Wu could no longer run; she resignedly fell to the ground and said, "Just kill me! Da Ming and Er Ming will avenge me!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand, dispelling the illusion, and coldly said, "Those two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts will die in a few years; do you still want them to avenge you?"

Xiao Wu lifted her gaze to survey the surroundings, then looked at Bai Yuan with a cold smile: "You probably don't even know who the Da Ming and Er Ming I mentioned are, yet you dare say they'll die."

Bai Yuan chuckled indifferently: "You little brat, you're ignorant of the heights of heaven; I not only know who Da Ming and Er Ming are, I can also predict the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't be bothered to argue; she weakly sat up from the ground and said, "Whether to kill or chop, it's up to you."

Bai Yuan's mouth twitched; he was utterly speechless.

Can't you cooperate a little?

After thinking, Bai Yuan said: "Xiao Wu, I actually don't have to kill you; if you agree to one condition, I can let you go."

Xiao Wu gave a "hehe" cold laugh: "Let me agree to a condition? Like Ning Rongrong, that coward who fears death, become your slave or servant just to amuse you?"

Ning Rongrong flared with anger, wanting to retort but daring not to.

Bai Yuan then didn't want to speak, feeling Xiao Wu was too narcissistic; his Transformation Pill directly gave his disciple her appearance—what kind of beautiful female disciple could he not have?

After hesitating, he bluntly said: "Xiao Wu, the reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast, your true form is a soft-bone rabbit; Da Ming is a hundred-thousand-year Azure Heaven Ox Python; Er Ming is a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape."

Xiao Wu froze, instinctively opening her mouth wide.

Bai Yuan then went on: "You met Tang San at Nuoding Academy; upon first meeting, you competed for the dormitory leadership, and you ultimately became the leader."

"At the same time, you also had a hundred-thousand-year soft-bone rabbit mother, but your mother is dead, having become the soul ring and soul bone of a female Soul Master."

Shocked beyond words, she felt it unbelievable that someone could uncover her background so thoroughly.

Ning Rongrong was also shocked upon hearing this; seeing Xiao Wu's reaction, she knew Bai Yuan was telling the truth.

In other words, Xiao Wu truly is a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and there truly is a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast beside her.

Then doesn't that mean Bai Yuan and Bai Yu, this master-disciple pair without martial souls, are truly not reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?

Thinking this, Ning Rongrong almost regretted to death.

For the sake of two fake hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, she ended up dragging herself into it.

This also made Ning Rongrong hate Tang San to death; if he hadn't deceived people, she wouldn't have ended up as a slave or servant.

"Do you now believe I can foresee the future?" Bai Yuan said calmly.

Xiao Wu retorted: "You only spoke of the past; if you truly knew the future, why didn't you calculate that you would be framed as a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

Bai Yuan's face darkened a bit as he listened.

57】 What annoys him most is people doing this.

However, Bai Yuan remained superficially calm and said: "How do you know I didn't intentionally go there, intentionally let Tang San frame me, then capture Ning Rongrong, and block you on your way back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Xiao Wu was momentarily at a loss for words.

But upon further thought, Xiao Wu felt the masked man before her was terrifyingly formidable; it was very likely he was using their own scheme against them.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu spoke: "Then why did you grab me?"

Bai Yuan answered without thinking: "Nothing much, I just calculated that one of you two has a master-disciple affinity with me."

Indeed, Bai Yuan is here to take on another disciple again.

Previously, Ning Rongrong failed to take on a disciple; now he chooses to first sweet-talk, then take on a disciple.
