Chapter 199: Returning Home, But Without a Scene of Chaos, Xiao Wu's Identity Exposed

The two walked in silence for a while before Han Li turned around and asked, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask, do you need to go back and pack your things?"

"No need, all my things are in my storage soul tool."

Zhu Zhuqing pointed to the small pouch at her waist, then paused for a moment: "However, I think I need to see the Crown Prince of Tiandou."

"About dropping out of school? Or did you promise him something?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Qian Renxue had also made some underhanded moves with Zhu Zhuqing.

"No, I just wanted to tell him that Dai Mubai isn't worth that much anymore."

Zhu Zhuqing reverted to her previous aloof demeanor, and her speech became flat and monotonous.

"You really hold a grudge. But I won't go in person. I'll have someone deliver your message."

Han Li realized that he had underestimated this woman's desire for revenge; she truly wanted Dai Mubai dead.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, you were rumored to be having a very pleasant conversation with him. Or are you worried that bringing me along might affect your relationship?"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke with a highly aggressive tone, her face expressionless.

"Well, let's say that's how it is. But I have to remind you, according to the prior agreement, you've already sold yourself to me. If you're this aggressive, I'll make things difficult for you."

Han Li glanced at her, ignoring her hostility, and replied casually, whether it was a joke or a warning, it was unclear.

"oh."

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing gave a nonchalant reply and then shut her mouth.

The illusion was maintained, and five minutes later, the two of them had already left through the gate.

Han Li tossed Zhu Zhuqing a pendant, instructing her to connect with it using her soul power. Then, he waved for a carriage, and the two headed towards Tian Dou City.

In the luxurious villa of the Chamber of Commerce in Tiandou City.

The three women opposite him stared at Han Li and Zhu Zhuqing behind him without saying a word. Various foods they had bought were still on the table.

"Han Shengzi, you're quick on your feet. We've only been apart for half a day, and you've already brought back another sister. But is there anything we three sisters have done that displeases you?"

Dugu Yan mimicked the tone of a sickly woman in a story that Han Li had once told them, speaking in a sarcastic and mocking manner.

Han Li's forehead twitched violently. He regretted telling them the story; in the end, it all came back to haunt him.

"You should know Zhu Zhuqing. Anyway, that's the result."

Han Li had seen it all and didn't care about Dugu Yan's remarks at all. After the introduction, he continued, "As for the process, it may be a little different from what you think. It's not too late to make your evaluation after you've heard it."

"Forget it, it's too complicated to explain in detail. I'll just show it to you."

Han Li was halfway through his story when he realized he didn't know where to begin, so he simply activated the mental sharing feature, pulling everyone into the mental space and recreating all the scenes.

Tianmeng Skull: A Record of a Beautiful Life.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, who had already experienced a real-life incident, was no exception and rejoined the ranks of film viewers.

However, this time it's not from her perspective, but from the perspective of an observer.

Upon seeing this, she was stunned, because what was being shown, besides the conversation between Han Li and her master and disciple, revealed something even more unbelievable.

Something's not right. Why is there a huge rabbit phantom behind Xiao Wu in Han Li's perspective, and why is she shrouded in gray mist?

She remembered that Xiao Wu wasn't always in a state of being possessed by her martial soul.

Moreover, even if it's a spirit possession, it shouldn't be like this. Xiao Wu's spirit possession mode is similar to hers, but from Han Li's perspective, there's nothing behind her.

Of course, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't the only one to notice this; the other three women also noticed that Xiao Wu was different from the others the moment she appeared.

Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, the three of them had recently scanned the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm under Han Li's mental sharing, so they naturally wouldn't fail to recognize it. Putting aside the huge rabbit phantom, the gray aura was unique to soul beasts.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form? And it's not even mature yet?"

Dugu Yan immediately exclaimed in surprise and gave Han Li a look that awaited confirmation.

"Yes, just as you thought. This is a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has taken human form."

Han Li nodded in response, but his smile was somewhat inexplicable.

"You didn't already know, did you?"

Dugu Yan glanced at him suspiciously, feeling that his smile was somewhat malicious.

Does it matter?

Han Li smiled and asked a question in return, but did not give a clear answer.

"How is this possible? How could Xiao Wu be a soul beast? No, she has met the three education committee members, and Sword Douluo has also met her in person."

Zhu Zhuqing's mind was a bit confused. She couldn't quite remember whether Sword Douluo had met Xiao Wu or not.

The only thing she was certain of was that Xiao Wu had met the three education committee members, but she seemed to have been behind them at the time.

"You two have a good relationship? You're very close?"

The scene paused at this moment, and Dugu Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who seemed a little confused, and asked with great interest.

"We're just ordinary classmates."

Zhu Zhuqing answered subconsciously.

"Then why are you so nervous?"

Dugu Yan watched her reaction with curiosity.

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent, unsure how to answer the question. Could she say that she didn't know either?

Because this poor girl lacked love, Han Li was too embarrassed to say it directly.

Her childhood environment shaped her personality; she would cling to any kindness shown to her.

Her previous behavior at Tiandou Academy was just like that. Even though Xiao Wu had clearly stood against her and she had thoughts of dying, she still chose not to attack her, but instead chose to ignore her.

"Alright, let's continue watching."

Han Li shook his head at Dugu Yan, indicating that she should not ask any more questions for the time being, and continued to control the playback.

As the plot unfolds, the three women also become increasingly angry, even more so than Zhu Zhuqing herself.

"These people should really be thrown into the City of Slaughter, especially those two teachers and Tang San who was in charge. They're bastards."

"Not bad, I didn't know you had this side to you, pretty cool."

"Good job, but you went a little too lightly. You should have given that sleazy fat guy a taste of his own medicine too."

"Besides, they're so weak, why don't you just kill them?"

……

Zhu Zhuqing was surrounded by the three women. She was a little confused when she saw that the three women who had been glaring at her before suddenly became united with her. Why were they more excited than she was?

And are they really that weak?

You have to understand that she was prepared in advance to succeed in one strike. If it were a direct confrontation, she might not be a match for the others.

"That's about it. Any questions now?"

Han Li deactivated the mind sharing, temporarily freeing Zhu Zhuqing from the three's encirclement.

Of course, he did play a little trick by not simulating the dialogue between the two in the mental world as well, and so far, it seems to be working quite well.

"So, what are you trying to say? That bringing her back was an accident?"

As the leader of the group, Dugu Yan had been going against Han Li for many years, so naturally she wouldn't be so easily fooled by him.

"Well, whether it's unexpected or not isn't important. What I mean is, now she'll be one of us. Now, who's in favor, and who's against?"

Han Li resorted to cheating and secretly changed the concept.

The three of them glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, exchanged glances, and remained silent.

They've brought everyone back, so what can they do? Their objections will only delay things a bit; they can't really turn against Han Li. However, their resentful looks are inevitable.

"Then that's settled. For now, she and Ye Lingling will be considered our external members, um, outer disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect."

Han Li rambled on, saying that the most important thing was that he had to distinguish Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling from the three of them in order to express his attitude.

Moreover, he doesn't really trust either of them yet; all he has is a tiny bit of goodwill from his past life.

"By the way, Sister Yan, send a letter to Ye Lingling, telling her not to rush to obtain the fourth soul ring, but to go through the Seven Mysteries Sect's channels. Don't mention our location in the letter, and tell her to wait at home for a few days."

Han Li, knowing that Ye Lingling was about to break through, offered some words of advice.

"Okay, I'll have someone send it over in a bit."

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that the scene she had just seen seemed to mention that Lingling was breaking through.

Zhu Zhuqing stood silently to the side, processing the information. So Ye Lingling had also been won over by him?

Han Li glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still standing alone to one side, and waved to her.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what he wanted to do, but she still walked up to him.

"Alright, let's get down to business now."

Han Li looked at her seriously, then flipped his left hand, and a piece of paper covered with tiny, densely written characters appeared in his hand.

He handed the paper over to Zhu Zhuqing.

"What is this?"

The three of them, somewhat curious, came closer.

"A new martial spirit oath."

Han Li answered somewhat embarrassedly.

This was something he had planned long ago. He plagiarized content from various treaties and novels, compiling it into a vow that covered all aspects of life.

Of course, it used to be just something to kill time when he was bored, but now it's different. After he truly gained some power, this Martial Soul Oath really became effective.

"So many?"

Dugu Yan had already moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing and was looking at the contents of the document with her.

Then, after only glancing at a few lines, she felt dizzy. The words were too convoluted, and she felt that just reading them would be a struggle.

She gave Han Li a speechless look that seemed to say, "Are you even human?", then snatched the paper from Zhu Zhuqing's hand and put it into her soul tool.

"A normal martial soul oath will suffice; let's leave this one for outsiders to try."

Clearly, her words implied that she had chosen to accept Zhu Zhuqing and distinguish herself from outsiders.

"Alright, let's go with the normal one then."

Han Li didn't refute her, but instead took the opportunity to agree, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Then, he saw Zhu Zhuqing across from him look up at him and give him a disdainful look.

Oh, he forgot that Zhu Zhuqing is very perceptive of emotions, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
