Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 694 Unhappy

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu was wandering aimlessly on the other side, not looking for her good older sister Huo Yu'er.

Because the storyline involving recognizing siblings was removed, Xiao Wu did not completely let herself go and become arrogant and domineering as in the original work. Instead, she learned to think and understood the horrors of human society from being around Huo Yu'er and Ye Wen.

"Sigh, what should I do? I don't know which college Yu'er and the other girl will apply to. I can't be separated from them." Xiao Wu thought dejectedly.

In the Douluo Continent, under normal circumstances, when a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms into human form, there are generally two issues.

The first is that before reaching level 70, one can sacrifice oneself for humans and be hunted down to produce soul bones.

The second is that soul beasts that have taken human form must sense the aura of humans through contact; otherwise, they cannot progress.

Now, Xiao Wu faces the second problem.

Soul beasts cannot come into contact with just anyone. Otherwise, given a 10-year-old soul beast's understanding of soul power, it would be easy for it to cultivate to the Soul Saint stage by hiding in a remote rural area and living with ordinary people.

Of course, it is not necessary to have full innate soul power. As long as the person who comes into contact with it has a stronger or equal cultivation level, the transformed soul beast can use the other party's aura as a reference to gradually shed its own traces of being a soul beast. This process will continue until it reaches the Soul Saint level.

Sometimes Xiao Wu couldn't help but marvel at her good luck. Despite being in a remote little town, she had three exceptionally talented humans in the same dormitory who could serve as aura references for her.

However, as time went by, Xiao Wu also fell into distress because she felt that she could not be completely close to any of the three people and could not always stay by their side.

ummm

Xiao Wu suddenly realized she was mistaken; at least if she were willing to get close to Tang San, he would be very willing to accept it.

but

"Although Tang San claims to have innate full soul power, his cultivation speed is only about the same as Sister Yu'er's, and now it's even almost on par with Ye Wen. Something just doesn't feel right."

Although Xiao Wu didn't think Tang San's cultivation talent was anything special, he was currently the easiest person for her to get close to.

"Does this mean we really have to choose him?" Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then quickly shook her head.

"No, no, Tang San. He's usually so quiet and arrogant towards everyone else. I think he's just like those lecherous humans who are after my good looks. I don't want to be touched by a human."

Tang San's behavior towards people other than Xiao Wu is drastically different. Anyone with eyes can see that even someone as dull-witted as Xiao Wu can see his abnormality.

Because she wasn't experiencing any romantic thoughts, Xiao Wu still remembered her original intention in transforming into human form.

That is to avenge my mother!

Xiao Wu was willing to get close to Huo Yu'er because Huo Yu'er was a woman and very powerful. Admiring strength is a common mentality among soul beasts, so Xiao Wu felt no burden in getting close to her.

However, Xiao Wu, who has ulterior motives and harbors some aversion to humans, definitely doesn't want to have excessive contact with Tang San.

However, the main issue is that Tang San's cultivation progress is not as good as Xiao Wu's. How could Xiao Wu, who wants to cultivate using human energy, be willing to cultivate with Tang San? Wouldn't that slow down her revenge progress?

Just as Xiao Wu was thinking about how to get closer to Huo Yu'er and Ye Wen so that they could study together in the next stage of the academy.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu, who had been wandering outside the academy on a whim, was stopped by a voice in an alley.

"Oh my, what a cute little girl! Would you like Uncle to take you to see the goldfish?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu paused, and her previously melancholy face instantly brightened with innocence, making her look like a girl of about ten years old.

Xiao Wu turned around and looked at the lewd old man behind her with her bright, pink eyes.

"Uncle is going to take me to see the goldfish? You're such a kind person, Uncle! But Mom told me I shouldn't accept favors from strangers."

Here, let me give you some candy.

Xiao Wu casually took out a lollipop and handed it to the lewd middle-aged man in front of her.

This person is none other than Bu Le, one of the infamous three scoundrels in the Douluo series.

Although Bu Le was somewhat surprised that Xiao Wu would hand him a lollipop, looking into those clear and innocent eyes, he instinctively lowered his guard and took it, then took a bite.

"Wow, this lollipop is really—"

Just as he took a sip of the sugary liquid in his mouth, Bu Le's eyes widened. Although the taste of the drug was faint, he could taste it and his whole body began to weaken rapidly. Bu Le was shocked. This seemingly inconspicuous lollipop was actually mixed with a drug!

What the hell!

But before Bu Le could think any further, a meaningful smile appeared on Xiao Wu's lips.

Recently, there have been rumors circulating that a pervert has appeared in the neighborhood who specifically targets young girls, and that his methods are extremely cruel, with him running away after he's done his thing.

This caused great suffering to the local people, but the authorities who reported it did nothing, and it gradually evolved into something like an urban legend. So now, whether it's day or night, most families rarely let their daughters go out.

Xiao Wu didn't want to uphold justice, but being a free spirit by nature, she wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. So she carried a lollipop laced with sleeping pills with her to make up for her lack of strength and to use her cuteness to disguise herself and turn the tables.

Now it seems the plan was indeed a success. Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint as she looked at this lolicon pervert.

Just as Xiao Wu was swinging her scorpion braid, intending to grab her opponent first and complete the prelude to the Eight-Stage Throw, a sudden whooshing sound came from not far away.

Xiao Wu instinctively backed away to dodge.

"Ah!!!" Bu Le let out a miserable howl.

When Xiao Wu looked closely, she saw that Bu Le, who had been lying on the ground, had an arrow stuck in each of his four limbs, firmly locking him to the ground, and bright red blood began to spread.

Xiao Wu's brows twitched as she watched the archery skill go so far, and just then a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Xiao Wu, are you alright?" Huo Yu'er asked in a cool voice.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up immediately. Maintaining her delicate appearance, she quickly rushed towards Huo Yu'er, grabbing her arm and acting coquettishly.

"Thank you, Sister Yu'er. You came just in time, otherwise I would have been in danger just now."

Because of the angle, Huo Yu'er did not see Xiao Wu drug Bu Le.

However, the reason Huo Yu'er appeared here was because she knew that a freakish expert had appeared in the city, one that even the city lord's mansion was unwilling to provoke.

This pervert is targeting Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu is in real danger.

After all, this was her best friend whom she had booked.

"Okay, it's alright now. Leave the rest to me," Huo Yu'er said, gently stroking Xiao Wu's head to comfort her.
