Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 144 Lin Yu, Should We Offer a Sacrifice?

"Lin Yu, I am a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast."

As the words fell, Xiao Wu felt apprehensive. In her original plan, she intended to discuss this information with Lin Yu in a more private setting, because people would be more tired and their reactions would be slower then.

She had originally intended to use that opportunity to expose herself, so that if Lin Yu reacted incorrectly, she would still have time to escape. But now, Lin Yu didn't seem to have any idea what to do, and instead, she herself lost her composure—helplessly, she could only expose herself in advance, lest she not even have the strength to run later, even though she couldn't outrun Lin Yu in the Lin residence.

But after Xiao Wu revealed herself, the expected reaction of "Lin Yu's eyes lighting up" or "his spirits lifting" did not occur.

Even as he kneaded and played with her thighs, his thumbs continued to make idyllic circles on the muscles of her inner thighs.

Xiao Wu felt that Lin Yu might not have heard her clearly, so she simply cupped Lin Yu's face, which she didn't find particularly handsome but which inexplicably made her feel at ease, and spoke again, word by word.

"Lin Yu, I said I am a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form."

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't react, Xiao Wu asked incredulously, "Are you deaf?"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu prepared to pull Lin Yu's face aside to check if there was something wrong with her ears. However, her actions were met with a glare from Lin Yu.

"So what if it's a transformed soul beast? Why are you so agitated? There are quite a few spies and powerful individuals around the Lin residence. If you raise your voice any louder, you'll attract their attention."

Lin Yu's reminder made Xiao Wu merely purse her lips, then she lifted her clothes, revealing her smooth, flat abdomen. Her waist arched slightly backward with this movement, the skin of her abdomen stretching into a fair arc under the light, her navel small and round, and the lines of her waist smoothly tapering downward.

No one knows what she did, but a pale golden, six-winged angel pattern slowly appeared on Xiao Wu's lower abdomen.

The golden lines seemed to grow from under the skin, first appearing as faint outlines, then becoming clearer and clearer, eventually coalescing into an exquisite six-winged angel pattern, located just below the navel.

"With this thing around, no one will know that I am a transformed soul beast."

Lin Yu just let out a "woof".

Compared to Xiao Wu, Lin Yu was more interested in the gold markings on her lower abdomen.

Just now, when Lin Yu was playing with Xiao Wu, he casually checked the condition inside her body.

The investigation revealed that wisps of golden threads had appeared around Xiao Wu's right arm bone, which contained the cultivation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Besides her right arm bone, there was also a cluster of threads around her lower dantian.

Although Lin Yu didn't quite understand what those threads were, it wasn't hard to deduce that they were a restriction Qian Renxue had placed on Xiao Wu, likely having effects similar to concealing identity and threatening life. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Xiao Wu had been so obedient to Qian Renxue during that time, and even more so, why Xiao Wu had actually come to serve her when Qian Renxue asked her to. It also wouldn't explain why Qian Renxue would leave Xiao Wu alone with so many powerful figures on Lin Yu's side, without fear of Xiao Wu being discovered by a Title Douluo.

"I am a transformed soul beast, and I can offer you a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul stone."

Lin Yu interrupted Xiao Wu's pointless remarks.

"You don't need to emphasize the rarity of a 100,000-year-old soul bone and soul ring to me. Just tell me directly, you've said so much because you need something from me or something else, right?"

Lin Yu's calm answer left Xiao Wu feeling a little dazed. Could it be that Lin Yu already knew her true identity? Or perhaps, he was actually in cahoots with that "first prince" from before?

"Lin Yu, do you know the true identity of that first prince?"

Lin Yu sighed and patted Xiao Wu's head, as if soothing a ruffled little animal.

"Just say what you want to say. To be honest, I don't care about your stuff."

Xiao Wu, who had initially suspected a relationship between Lin Yu and Xue Qinghe, was taken aback by these words. What the hell? What kind of talk is this?

What do you mean by "looking down on your stuff"? He's a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form! The previous Pope of the Spirit Hall lost his life chasing after that 100,000-year-old soul beast! Why is he not interested in Lin Yu's stuff?

"If I said I was willing to sacrifice myself for you when you reach level 40 or 50, so that you could obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, wouldn't you still be interested?"

Lin Yu's face darkened when he heard that Xiao Wu was planning to "cause trouble" for him when he was level 40 to 50.

"Get lost, stay away from me. I'm not interested in your sacrifices. If you dare show your face near me when you're level 40 or 50, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Yu's reaction wouldn't have been so strong if Xiao Wu had mentioned sacrificing herself at level 60 or 7000, but she insisted on mentioning level 40 or 50.

A 100,000-year spirit ring might be very attractive to others, but it's just so-so to Lin Yu. A powerful spirit ring isn't as appealing to him as a suitable one. Admittedly, the spirit skills Xiao Wu provided offer decent survival abilities, but Lin Yu currently has enough tricks up his sleeve. Even with Xiao Wu's survival skills, the situation where the Silver Robe and Golden Armor were helpless couldn't be turned around.

Xiao Wu never imagined that she, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, would one day be looked down upon. If Lin Yu's talent and potential hadn't seemed to surpass that of the "first prince" who enslaved her, she wouldn't have come to Lin Yu. She never expected that Lin Yu would actually look down on her.

A strange feeling arose in Xiao Wu's heart, making her feel extremely strange, ashamed and angry, and also a kind of inexplicable resentment at being looked down upon.

As Xiaowu tried to get up and leave, she found her legs were weak and her body felt a little limp. The muscles on the inside of her thighs trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her toes curled up inside her shoes, as if she had just finished a long run and felt completely exhausted.

"Lin Yu————"

Xiao Wu's voice, unusually, lacked its usual playfulness and liveliness, becoming soft and weak, carrying a hint of pleading that she herself was unaware of.

Lin Yu turned her head and saw Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance, unable to even stand up, and curled her lips.

On the ground, Xiao Wu's legs were pressed together and slightly turned inward, her knees rubbing together, her upper body leaning weakly forward, her chest resting on her crossed arms—what a pitiful sight.

He walked towards Xiao Wu, but before he could reach out to help her up, the seemingly weak and powerless Xiao Wu suddenly sprang up. Her legs pushed off the ground with a powerful thrust, and her thigh muscles went from relaxed to explosive in less than an instant. She shot towards Lin Yu like an arrow released from a bow.

She quickly wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck and brought her pink lips to Lin Yu's mouth.

Unmoved by Xiao Wu's enthusiasm, Lin Yu even reached out and searched her body, quickly finding a dripping dagger hidden in a concealed compartment.

It was one of the two daggers that Lin Yu had just made for Xiao Wu. Because this dagger couldn't hurt Xiao Wu, she hid it on her person in a place that ordinary people wouldn't easily touch.

If Lin Yu had approached without checking, he would most likely have been tricked by this little rabbit.

Lin Yu didn't want to waste her energy on irrelevant people, but this little rabbit was too naughty, so Lin Yu had no choice but to give her a simple lesson.

Three hours later, Xiao Wu, limping and seemingly fleeing, left Lin Yu's forging room.
