Chapter 71: Xiao Wu: I'm Not Human |
Ning Rongrong: Why Are You Insulting Yourself?
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Everyone, please don't look at Bing'er with strange eyes.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Bing'er actually has a very good personality. It's just that her views on choosing a partner differ somewhat from the world's conventional standards.]
[Green Grass: Don't worry, Sister Snow Empress. We're just curious and enjoying the gossip. We won't look at the Ice Empress differently.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: That's right, we're just curious.]
[I Am a Little Princess: By the way, Sister Snow Empress, since Ice Empress likes you, did she ever pursue you?]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Well… naturally, she did. I simply rejected her.]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Wuwuwu, Xue'er, please stop… You're bringing back painful memories. I'm heartbroken.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Hehe, so this is what a fierce beast is like? Ice Empress doesn't seem fierce at all.]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: How could that be? I'm very fierce in reality! My true form is the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress. Our Ice Jade Scorpion clan is famous throughout the Extreme North for being ruthless and savage.]
The Extreme North.
The Ice Empress felt somewhat underestimated. She was a peerless great fiend, after all.
Immediately afterward, she stared at her reflection in a block of ice and tried her best to put on a fierce expression.
Yet no matter how she bared her fangs or waved her claws, her youthful, doll-like features remained unchanged. Instead of looking fierce, she only appeared even more charming and adorable.
If Lin Chen were here and saw this sight, he might very well praise her a few times instead.
[Carrot Lover: Sisters… actually, there's something I've been hiding from all of you.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Hm? Xiao Wu, don't tell me you secretly hid a few more carrots from us again.]
[I Am a Little Princess: If that's it, you really don't need to tell us.]
[Carrot Lover: Of course not! This time it's something important. I really want to tell you all.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: What is it? Don't tell me you've run out of your super carrots?]
[Carrot Lover: Ahhh! Why are you all like this? Do I look like someone so unserious?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: …You do!]
[Green Grass: Alright, everyone. Let's hear what earth-shattering news Xiao Wu has to announce.]
Seeing Ah Yin's message, the other girls quickly focused their attention on Xiao Wu.
[Carrot Lover: Actually… I'm not human.]
[I Am a Little Princess: ???]
[I Am a Little Princess: Xiao Wu, why are you insulting yourself?]
[Carrot Lover: No, that's not what I meant! I mean… I'm not a human. I'm a soul beast.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Really? Xiao Wu, don't joke with us like that.]
[I Have No Mother: What Xiao Wu said is true.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: The one above, how do you know?]
[I Have No Mother: From the diary's contents, it's easy to deduce. Why did Tang Hao set his sights on Xiao Wu back then? Think carefully, and the reason becomes obvious.]
[I Have No Mother: It's just that since Xiao Wu never said it outright, I couldn't expose her real identity.]
[Carrot Lover: @I Have No Mother, you're so smart!]
Heaven Dou City.
Looking at the chat group messages, Xiao Wu couldn't help but marvel at Qian Renxue's intelligence.
Just by relying on the diary's content, she had managed to deduce her true identity.
Why couldn't the heavens grant her that kind of wisdom? Sometimes she really felt she was rather foolish.
[Yan Will Come Back: Wuwuwu, I also have something important to say.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Hm? Yanzi, don't tell me you're not human either?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Wait, no, that can't be. You're Poison Douluo's granddaughter. You're definitely human.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: So what important thing do you want to say?]
[Yan Will Come Back: Well… Lin Chen just left. He left Heaven Dou City. He abandoned me and went off alone.]
[Yan Will Come Back: He even promised before that he would travel the continent with me. And now he just ran away by himself.]
[Yan Will Come Back: If I see him again, I swear I'll grab his soft cheeks and pinch them until they're swollen!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Lin Chen left again?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: I swear that brat was born just to go against me. I was planning to wait outside Yanzi's house tomorrow to stage an "accidental" encounter with him. Who would've thought he's already gone?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: No, I refuse to accept this. I don't believe I can't catch up to him. Tomorrow I'll push aside all affairs at Blue Tyrant Academy and go look for Lin Chen myself.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Sister Erlong, you're going all out. Looks like I need to act quickly, too. In a few days, I'll be going with my elders to obtain a soul ring.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Once I've acquired my soul ring, I'll run away from home and go find Lin Chen. I want to experience what those hidden rewards feel like as well.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: I'll take the risk too. I don't dare go obtain my first soul ring. I might die. I'll just sneak out on my own and go search for Lin Chen instead.]
Star Luo Empire, Zhu Clan.
Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had already reached Rank 10. Yet she did not dare ask her elders to help her acquire a soul ring.
Her situation was… complicated.
If her elder sister and the Imperial Crown Prince learned how quickly her cultivation had progressed, there would only be one outcome awaiting her.
Death.
A soul master who had awakened her martial soul only half a month ago, yet had already increased by two or three levels in soul power—such talent could no longer be described as genius.
This was monstrous.
And in clans like the Dai family and the Zhu family, which raised their heirs through a ruthless "gu cultivation" system, once her talent was exposed, even if her father tried to protect her, would the Crown Prince secretly take action?
After all, the Zhu family was merely a vassal of the Dai family. Only by escaping could she have a chance to defy fate.
One day, when she grew strong enough to influence the destiny of an entire nation, she would return.
And she would completely eradicate this inhumane system once and for all.
[A Little Fox: If you're all going to look for Lin Chen, then I won't fall behind either. My strength isn't weak anymore. I'll go find him too.]
Spirit City.
Hu Liena clenched her fists, silently making a decision. When her teacher, Bibi Dong, returned, she would persuade her.
She would say she wished to travel and broaden her horizons. That way, her teacher shouldn't suspect anything… right?
[I Have No Mother: In that case, I'll join this competition as well. Let's see who can win more in the end.]
Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace.
Xue Qinghe, who was in truth Qian Renxue, idly played with a porcelain cup in her hand as she made her stance clear in the chat group.
Unlike the other girls, she possessed absolute confidence.
Because behind her stood Spirit Hall, that colossal force.
More precisely, she was backed by Spirit Hall's true foundation—The Douluo Hall.
Spirit Hall's intelligence network was evident from the fact that Bibi Dong had located Xiao Wu and Lin Chen in just a single day. Its reach spanned the entire soul master world.
