Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 208 Deceiving Bai Xiuxiu!

"Uh-huh!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark nodded hurriedly, afraid that if he answered too slowly, Su Mo would turn him into shark fin.

"I saw Tang San when he was undergoing the trial on Seagod Island, following behind my mother."

"Follow behind your mom—"

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Your mom wouldn't happen to be Little White, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, would she?"

Upon hearing Su Mo call out his mother's name, the great white shark's eyes, no bigger than mung beans, lit up with delight. "You know my mother?" it exclaimed.

Su Mo was amused by its pitiful appearance, which was bursting with a survival instinct.

"I've only heard about it!"

"What's your name?"

"name----?"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark muttered something under its breath, then shook its enormous shark head and said apologetically to Su Mo, "Um—I don't have a name."

Perhaps sensing that this answer would displease Su Mo, she quickly added, "But when I'm at home, they all call me Bai Xiuxiu or Bai Paopao."

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu's innocent and naive appearance, Su Mo decided not to tease her any further.

Changing the subject abruptly, he went straight to the point, "So, Bai Xiuxiu, what do you think of Tang San?"

"I don't know! I've only met him once."

Bai Xiuxiu shook her head like a large rattle drum, looking innocent, and said, "But my mom said he's a good person, and everyone in the clan believes in him."

Su Mo squatted down and looked at Bai Xiuxiu with a smile, "Could you take me to meet your family?"

"No!"

Bai Xiuxiu rejected Su Mo almost reflexively.

Although she was terrified of death, she was even more unwilling to drag her people down with her.

She had overheard the entire conversation between Su Mo and that fierce little dwarf.

Su Mo's attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change. His face darkened instantly, and he glared at Bai Xiuxiu, saying fiercely, "No?"

"Hyotei, heat the oil in the wok! I want shark fin soup!"

"Alright! I'll go chop some firewood first!"

Hyotei nodded knowingly and turned to walk into the woods.

"A tonic!"

"Their meat doesn't taste good at all!"

Bai Xiuxiu was so frightened that she almost lost her mind and quickly swam towards the depths of the pool to try to hide herself.

Unfortunately, the pool was too shallow, and no matter how Bai Xiuxiu hid, most of her body was exposed.

Before long, a huge iron pot was set up right in front of Bai Xiuxiu.

"I'm asking you one last time, is it okay or not?"

Su Mo squatted down and gave Bai Xiuxiu, who was cowering in the corner trembling, a final ultimatum.

Although Bai Xiuxiu was trembling uncontrollably with fear, she still stubbornly raised her neck and said to Su Mo, "Gu, just kill me!"

"I would never betray my people."

"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!"

Su Mo grinned maliciously and stood up.

Watching Su Mo walk towards her step by step, Bai Xiuxiu closed her eyes in despair.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have disobeyed you and run around like that!"

"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely be a good student!"

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu deeply regretted why she had to sneak out of her clan and run to the shallow water area to observe humans.

However, Bai Xiuxiu waited with her eyes closed for a long time, but the heart-wrenching pain she had imagined did not come.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Su Mo was actually drawing on her face with a ballpoint pen.

However, because she was too nervous and scared, she didn't notice this at all.

Su Mo looked at Bai Xiuxiu, whose eyes were filled with confusion, and said impatiently, "Don't move around, I'll be done drawing soon!"

"Aren't you going to eat me?"

Bai Xiuxiu was confused by Su Mo's inexplicable behavior, not knowing what Su Mo was up to.

Not to mention Bai Xiuxiu, even Bingdi standing to the side had no idea what Su Mo was up to.

After Bai Xiuxiu refused to lead the way, Bingdi was already imagining how Su Mo would torture this demonic great white shark, Bai Xiuxiu.

As it turned out, Su Mo just scribbled all over Bai Xiuxiu's body.

Ignoring Bai Xiuxiu and Bingdi's questioning looks, Su Mo remained engrossed in his painting.

A moment later, looking at his masterpiece, Su Mo clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Done!"

"What do you think?"

Su Mo took a mirror out of her bracelet and placed it in front of Bai Xiuxiu.

Looking at the simple turtle drawing Su Mo had made on her forehead, Bai Xiuxiu felt resentful but dared not say it out loud. She could only spit out bubbles to express her dissatisfaction.

"What are you going to do? Say something!"

Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu remained silent, Su Mo raised his leg and gently kicked Bai Xiuxiu.

Seeing that Su Mo meant no harm, Bai Xiuxiu mustered her courage and said, "It looks awful!"

"Say it again!"

Bai Xiuxiu quickly shook her head, her face full of flattery, and said, "It's beautiful, so incredibly beautiful!"

"That's more like it!"

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction. "Take us to your house. I have something to discuss with your mother!"

"don't want!"

Bai Xiuxiu rejected Su Mo without even thinking.

Su Mo scolded Bai Xiuxiu in an adult-like tone, "Stop fooling around, I have something important to discuss with your mother."

'

However, faced with Su Mo's little tricks, Bai Xiuxiu acted as if she had seen through everything, confidently declaring, "Don't try to fool me! Don't think I didn't hear what you and that fierce little dwarf were saying!"

"Hey, you little brat, who are you calling a fierce little dwarf!"

Hyotei, whose pain had been hurt by Bai Xiuxiu's footsteps, rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach her a lesson.

Su Mo quickly reached out to stop Bing Di.

Bai Xiuxiu, that naive and innocent girl, has finally taken the bait, so he can't let Hyotei interrupt her.

Su Mo's actions just now seemed ineffective, but in fact, he used a little psychological trick.

This psychological trick is known as "Stockholm Syndrome" on Earth.

By creating a stark contrast, you can evoke empathy in the other person.

This little trick would definitely not work on a smart person, but it's more than enough to fool a naive and innocent girl like Bai Xiuxiu.

After stopping Hyotei, Su Mo reached out and gently tapped Bai Xiuxiu's smooth forehead. "Are you stupid? Would you say it in front of someone when you killed their whole family?"

"6

'

Bai Xiuxiu fell silent upon hearing this.

Although she felt something was off, she thought that what Su Mo said seemed to make sense.

Just as she might wish the entire Orca race were wiped out, she wouldn't be foolish enough to say it in front of others.

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu waver, Su Mo pressed his advantage, "We're all soul beasts, why would I lie to you?"

"A soul beast! You're a soul beast too?"

Bai Xiuxiu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her gaze lingering intently on Su Mo.

"Hyotei!"

Su Mo turned to look at Hyotei.

"snort!"

Ice Emperor snorted coldly and reluctantly transformed back into her original form, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Looking at Hyotei's body, as transparent as a vibrant green agate, Bai Xiuxiu was so shocked her mouth could hardly close. She stammered, "Transformed into a human!"

"Little dwarf, you...you're actually a ferocious beast?!"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei's face darkened, and he lowered his voice, threatening Bai Xiuxiu in a chilling tone, "Little brat, if you call me short again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I've never eaten a Demon Soul Great White Shark in all my years!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Beast!"

Bai Xiuxiu was so frightened by Bingdi that she trembled and quickly apologized to him.

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu trembling like a quail, Hyotei finally gave up.

"Let me introduce you, this is Hyotei, one of the three heavens of the far north!"

Su Mo pointed to Hyotei and introduced it to Bai Xiuxiu.

"Hyotei!"

Upon hearing the words "Ice Emperor," Bai Xiuxiu's tiny, beady eyes lit up with astonishing light, and she exclaimed excitedly, "You're the legendary Ice Emperor who ascended to the God Realm with the Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao?"

Although their Demon Soul Great White Shark clan lived in the deep sea after the destruction of Seagod Island, they were far away from Douluo Continent.

However, they still knew some things about the Douluo Continent.

Bai Xiuxiu had naturally heard of Huo Yuhao's deeds, as he was not only a human prodigy who ascended to godhood but was also Tang San's son-in-law.

Bai Xiuxiu was very familiar with Huo Yuhao's seven soul spirits.
