Chapter 29 Okay, okay, you are head over heels in love, are not you?
Tang Hao rummaged in his pocket for a while and then took out a jet-black token, which he tossed to Jiang Li.
This item was none other than the papal decree of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Kid, you might need this if you run into trouble in the future. I am entrusting little San to you with peace of mind."
"And I know you must have sensed the difference in that rabbit, so I advise you not to make a move on her."
"Some things are not for you to covet."
Tang Hao unleashed his soul power pressure as a Title Douluo once again, but all he received in return was Jiang Li's gentle smile.
His eighth spirit ring had a lifespan of 300,000 years. How could he be so foolish as to absorb a 100,000-year-old rabbit?
As for this papal decree, it was something he found neither appealing nor worth discarding now.
He could not very well be like Gangzi, taking this broken token to Bibi Dong to ask for the so-called twin martial soul cultivation method, could he?
"Clear Sky Douluo, as I just said, I am Tang San's master. How could I possibly steal my disciple's opportunity?"
Jiang Li said it without a care.
Tang Hao nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
He also thought to himself that if Jiang Li performed well in the future, he might be willing to give him a ninth spirit ring.
Of course, if a soul bone were to be unearthed, it would undoubtedly belong to the Tang family.
...
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Tang San arrived at Jiang Li's room door and waited before dawn.
He could not sleep a wink last night because it concerned the resurrection of his great mother.
However, what he did not notice was that a pair of rabbit ears were sticking out of the bushes behind him, twitching back and forth.
"That is strange. Why did this human cub's strength increase so much after going out for a while?"
"And the aura emanating from him seems to belong to the Blue Silver Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan?"
Xiao Wu expressed her great confusion. Could it be that this small Notting Academy had other transformed soul beasts besides her?
If that was really the case, then she would have to give this foolish fellow a good warning: do not let him be turned into a soul ring or soul bone by humans before he has even reached maturity.
Tang San waited quietly outside Jiang Li's door for a long time, while Xiao Wu waited there behind him.
Just as the two of them were feeling drowsy, the door to Jiang Li's room finally opened.
"Master!"
"Okay, little San, let us go."
Just as the master and apprentice were about to leave, Jiang Li glanced at the bushes nearby and spotted the little rabbit.
"Interesting."
Without saying a word, he controlled his Blue Silver Grass vines to step forward and bind Xiao Wu tightly.
"Waaaah! You wretched humans, let go of your little sister Wu!"
Jiang Li was speechless. Good heavens, this was truly something else.
He truly did not understand why this little rabbit was able to survive safely until the very end in the original story.
And given the other party's intelligence, would not absorbing her spirit ring really make the spirit master stupid?
Tang San also curiously turned his gaze over. He recognized the girl with rabbit ears; she was a girl named Xiao Wu.
Although he did not know why, from the moment he first saw the other person, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"Master, this..."
Tang San instinctively wanted to plead for Xiao Wu, but Jiang Li led him step by step to Xiao Wu, signaling him not to speak yet.
"Little San, do you remember what your mother's situation is?"
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and he asked in utter shock, "Master, do you mean Xiao Wu is also a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?"
"That is right."
Hearing the question-and-answer session between Jiang Li and his disciple, Xiao Wu felt as if the sky was about to fall.
As a rabbit, she was not very bright to begin with, and naturally ignored what Jiang Li and the others had said before, only hearing that her identity as a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast had been discovered...
It was awesome!
The human Soul Master who could discover her identity must be at least a Soul Douluo level expert. She had just transformed from the Star Dou Forest and had not even had a proper look at the human world where her mother had lived for so long before she was about to die.
"Waaaaah, Da Ming, Er Ming, Sister Xiao Wu should have listened to you and not transformed into human form."
Jiang Li: ...
Tang San: ...
Both of them had the same feeling: Xiao Wu did not seem very smart.
"Alright, little San, I will leave the decision of how to handle this rabbit to you."
"Are you planning to raise her first and let her become your spirit ring or spirit bone when you can absorb spirit rings in the future, or kill her now and only get a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
"Or perhaps we should just keep her as a pet?"
"It is all up to you."
Jiang Li paused for a moment before continuing.
"Every transformed soul beast that has been around for 100,000 years has the innate talent of full soul power. It is basically a certainty that they will cultivate to the level of Title Douluo in the future."
Tang San was instantly caught in a mental struggle.
Having just absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone, he naturally knew how important such a soul bone was.
Without a doubt, with a second 100,000-year-old soul bone by his side, his future cultivation would be much smoother!
But looking into Xiao Wu's pitiful pink eyes, he could not bring himself to be cruel.
What was more, there was that inexplicable feeling of affection.
Tang San hesitated for only a moment before resolutely saying to Jiang Li, "Master, let her stay with us. In the future, when I seek revenge against those people, I will need the help of my companions."
Okay, okay, you are head over heels in love, are not you?
However, since it was his precious disciple who made the request, Jiang Li did not intend to refuse.
The blue silver grass vines binding Xiao Wu slowly loosened from her body, and Xiao Wu fell back to the ground, breathing rapidly.
Just now, she truly felt that she was only one step away from death.
However, she still could not understand why any human would give up a readily available 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.
Perhaps noticing the confusion in Xiao Wu's eyes, Jiang Li slowly explained, "Little rabbit, be more careful in the future."
"As you can see, both little San and I possess the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, and little San's mother is the Blue Silver Emperor that took human form many years ago. Otherwise, you would have become a dead rabbit by now."
After saying that, Jiang Li took out a Concealing Breath Grass that could hide one's aura from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and handed it over.
"After taking this herb, unless a Title Douluo-level expert probes your body with their soul power, the aura of the 100,000-year-old soul beast within you should not be exposed before you reach maturity."
