Chapter 54 Xiao Wu Opens Her Heart and Becomes Su Ran's Apprentice

"No, no, Third Brother, no!"

At Peach Blossom Academy, in the middle of the night, Xiao Wu woke up from a nightmare on her bed.

In her dream, she ran wildly along a village path, burning with her inner energy, while Tang Hao and Tang San chased after her.

Several Zhuge crossbows blocked her path, and Tang San wounded her leg with a hidden arrow... For Xiao Wu, nothing could be more terrifying than this scene...

Third Brother was the only person she could rely on after entering the human world. The rabbit didn't know if it was love or kinship, but it seemed that she felt a sense of security when she was by his side.

However, this sense of security was shattered this time.

She never dared to dream that her third brother would turn his hidden weapon against her because of a single sentence from his father…

"Teacher Su... Teacher Su Ran..."

"Teacher Su Ran, I...I have nothing left..."

“Third Brother’s father saw through my identity and wanted to imprison me to prevent me from coming to you. He… he wanted me to become Third Brother’s soul ring.”

The moment Xiao Wu woke up, she looked at Su Ran with teary eyes:

“Teacher Su Ran, I…I am a person who has transformed from a 100,000-year-old soul beast…You must also want to kill me, right?”

"I would rather die by your hand and become your spirit ring, so that I can be with you forever."

Before you do anything, could you... let me... see your face one more time?

"Ugh."

Su Ran sighed. Although she had expected that Tang Hao might have known the little rabbit's identity all along, she did not expect things to develop to this point.

Tang Hao had personally experienced the pain of being separated from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, yet he was still so cruel to Xiao Wu, who was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Is the umbrella he used to shelter from the rain meant he also wanted to pass it on to his son?

Perhaps so. It was precisely because he received his beloved wife's sacrifice and obtained a 100,000-year spirit ring that he understood better what kind of power a 100,000-year spirit ring could bring—it could be a qualitative transformation.

"Just focus on recovering. No one here will use you as a spirit ring, and I won't kill you."

"These ointments can stop bleeding and heal scars. I can't help you with some private areas, so you'll have to apply them yourself."

"This cup of warm water contains Qingxin Zhi powder, which can soothe the restlessness in your body to some extent. However, you have used up too much of your cultivation, exceeding the limits that your body can currently withstand. You are in danger of being torn apart or dying at any time. For the time to come, it is best not to use any soul power at all and focus on recuperation."

"There's a bucket of warm water and a towel here. This set of clothes is borrowed from Rongrong. You can change into it after you've wiped yourself down. It'll be cleaner so you can sleep more soundly."

"Once you recover, you can choose whether to stay or leave."

Su Ran glanced at Xiao Wu, finished speaking, and then left the room.

Xiao Wu was left alone in the room, lost in thought.

……

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. The soft morning light shone on the windowsill, and the fragrance of peach blossoms drifted in through the cracks in the window.

Xiao Wu woke up groggily, captivated by the delicate fragrance of peach blossoms.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she realized that her wounds had healed overnight, and she felt much more comfortable.

When she got out of bed, she noticed a sticky liquid on the bed.

Last night, she tossed and turned, having several nightmares.

In her dream, she saw her mother being hunted down by a Soul Master, and she suffered the same fate as her mother. All her former teammates abandoned her, seeing her as prey and eyeing her with predatory intent.

She has lost everything. She can no longer return to her pre-transformation state, nor can she transform into a human. She can only exist in this half-beast, half-human form.

Everyone looked at her differently until she died and became someone else's soul ring or soul bone, which gave her chills.

But at the end of the dream, a handsome, gentle, and unparalleled peach blossom immortal gracefully descended from the sky, stood beside her, and said to her:

"It's alright, no one here is using you as a spirit ring."

This sense of security is just like the feeling of being by my mother's side—warm and heartwarming.

Because her leg was injured by Tang San's hidden weapon, although the wound has healed today, Xiao Wu still walks with a limp. She pursed her lips and opened the door a little, and a ray of golden sunlight shone on her face.

She saw the vibrant life in Taoyuan Academy.

Two graceful figures danced among the silver threads, easily leaping dozens of meters into the air on the fluttering peach blossoms, displaying remarkable lightness—true lightness skill.

There was also a figure that looked like a delicate little princess, but her whole body was radiating golden light. With her small hands, she formed a wonderful palm and fist technique and kept hitting the extremely hard iron stake!
hum-

The iron stake trembled with a clanging sound.

boom--

A loud bang came from the school gate further away; it was unclear who was firing the cannon.

Xiao Wu had only seen Tang San use a little bit of this training method and technique before. Their previous training was basically physical training - weighted running, hand combat, etc., which was completely different from the exquisite training here.

"They were all taught by the immortal brother..."

"No wonder they were able to improve so much in just a few months; it's because they were taught by the immortal brother."

"Fairy Brother..."

At this moment, Su Ran sat under the peach tree in front of the school, reviewing homework for Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and Wang Sheng, and grading their progress.

On the desk were their recent martial spirit knowledge assessments, but more importantly, their progress in mastering their unique skills.

Xiao Wu was drawn to Su Ran, who was intently looking at the evaluation paper in his hand, while peach blossoms fell around him.

This masked youth perfectly resembled the immortal brother she had met in the Star Dou Great Forest, captivating Xiao Wu for a moment.
"Teacher Su Ran, if you don't mind that I'm a soul beast, may I become your disciple?"

"I really want to become your disciple."

"If you don't let me study here, Xiao Wu... will have nowhere else to go."

"As long as Teacher Su Ran is willing to take me as a student, even as a maid, I will listen to everything you say. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I can serve tea and water, warm the bed, and so on—"

At this moment, Xiao Wu mustered up her courage and once again expressed her desire to become an apprentice.

She came here with the intention of dying at Peach Blossom Academy, or dying by Su Ran's side, which is why she risked her life to get here.
