Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

With the enhancement of her soul skill, Xiao Wu's strength, speed, and even flexibility have been greatly improved.

His right leg, like a whip, swept fiercely towards Lin Yang's waist with a whooshing sound.

However, Lin Yang's pupils remained as still as a deep pool.

Just when Xiao Wu thought she was about to succeed, Lin Yang in front of her vanished like a mirage.

phantom?

Xiao Wu was startled. Before she could change her move, a cold blade was silently pressed against her neck.

"Don't move!"

The blade was piercing to the bone; life or death hung in the balance!

In that instant, Xiao Wu's heart felt as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand and suddenly stopped.

The red light in her eyes fluctuated violently, and fear, resentment, and determination intertwined on her face, finally settling into a resolute expression.

Ignoring the sharp blade at her neck, she lunged into Lin Yang's arms.

She lost!

The price of losing was her life.

Even if she dies, she will self-destruct, taking this human down with her.

Lin Yang was startled and quickly withdrew his Scarlet Sword, taking a few steps back to distance himself from Xiao Wu.

"Wait, I didn't mean to do anything to you?"

"If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have cut your hair in the first place."

Xiao Wu twitched the corners of her mouth, her smile tinged with coldness.

"What, you not only want my bones, but also my spirit ring? Can you handle a 100,000-year spirit ring?"

"Think what you want," Lin Yang said, his voice remaining calm.

"I said from the beginning that as a Soul Master, killing you would be perfectly justifiable, but..."

Lin Yang's gaze softened slightly.

"You saved my grandmother and took such good care of her for so long. I will remember this kindness."

"So...you should leave and never show your face in front of me again."

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

After a long while, he cautiously probed and asked,

"You...are you really willing to let me go?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her gaze was fixed on Lin Yang, as if trying to find mockery and ridicule on his calm face.

"What good would it do me to lie to you?" Lin Yang shrugged.

"Of course, if you really don't want to live, I can help you out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu tensed up like a startled rabbit, looking at Lin Yang warily.

Lin Yang chuckled almost imperceptibly, turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, he put his foot down, his tone becoming somewhat solemn.

"Just a heads-up, leave here as soon as possible. You can go anywhere."

"Just don't go to Nottingham City or Holy Soul Village, because there are people there who can see through your true form. That's all I have to say. Believe it or not."

Xiao Wu trembled. Besides Lin Yang in front of her, only a Title Douluo could see through her true identity.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts transformed into humans possess the most outstanding talents, and cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking.

However, in the early stages of cultivation, it is necessary to come into contact with human energy as much as possible; otherwise, one's cultivation will stagnate and make no progress.

Only at level 70 can one truly transform into a human.

According to her plan, she would obtain a work-study spot in Red Maple Village and then sneak into Notting City's Junior Soul Master Academy.

But little did she know, the first step of the plan had only just begun when she encountered Lin Yang, who saw through her true identity, and was then told that there was a Title Douluo in Notting City.

Xiao Wu felt bitter inside. What sins had she committed? Had she not checked the almanac before going out, or had she encountered a ghost while walking?

She had already gone far and far away, and even specifically chose an obscure small town.

As a result, she actually encountered this one-in-a-million chance of happening repeatedly.

Her life as a rabbit... was utterly bleak!

Seeing that Lin Yang was genuinely helping her, the rabbit, who had a lot on her mind, quietly thanked him.

"No need," Lin Yang waved his hand, his expression a mixture of regret and complexity.

"One thing at a time. If I see you again, I might not be willing to let you go."

"Get out of here before I change my mind, and don't let me see you again."

Xiao Wu took a few steps back and realized that Lin Yang really didn't intend to kill her, so she prepared to run away immediately.

"etc....."

Xiao Wu stopped in her tracks, her body tensing abruptly as she looked at Lin Yang warily.

Did this guy regret it?

Whoosh!

A golden light flicked from Lin Yang's fingertip, and Xiao Wu caught it instinctively. It was a gold soul coin, its edges gleaming in the sunlight.

"Take it, lest you starve to death on the road," Lin Yang said calmly.

Looking at the gold soul coin in her hand, Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her voice softening.

"Lin Yang, you're a good person. Please thank Grandma Susie for taking care of me during this time."

Lin Yang nodded slightly: "I will pass on the message."

Xiao Wu said no more, but after giving Lin Yang a deep look, she blurred into a blurry afterimage and disappeared into the nearby forest in an instant.

Lin Yang stared at the spot where she had disappeared for a long time, then shook his head and chuckled softly, as if mocking his own foolishness.

However, on the way back, my steps were lighter than when I came.

When they got home, Grandma Susie was still sleeping.

Lin Yang didn't disturb them, but went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and also picked up the clay pot for decocting medicine to prepare some medicine that would help with bone recovery.

The bitter smell of medicine quickly filled the entire kitchen.

By the time Lin Yang had finished preparing the medicine and dinner, Grandma Susie had just woken up.

Lin Yang helped her sit down at the dining table.

Grandma Susie looked around, but after a while she still couldn't see that familiar figure, so she couldn't help but ask,

"Where's Xiaowu? She's usually the most enthusiastic eater, why haven't I seen her today?"

"Grandma, don't worry," Lin Yang said, placing a bowl of medicine in front of Grandma Susie before sitting down.

"It's Xiaowu's relative who came looking for us. She's already been taken away. Before she left, Xiaowu asked me to tell you her thanks."

Grandma Susie paused for a few seconds, opened her mouth, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Oh, that's good. It's good that a relative is willing to adopt her. I thought I would have another granddaughter, someone to keep me company and talk to..."

Lin Yang could see the reluctance and worry in his grandmother's eyes, which showed that she really liked Xiao Wu and enjoyed the atmosphere of being with her grandchildren.

But he couldn't take that risk.

Xiao Wu's identity is always a ticking time bomb; if she's not careful, it could drag her grandmother, and even Red Maple Village, into trouble.

The world of Soul Masters is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak.

"Grandma, if you say that, I'll think you're dissatisfied with me. Maybe I should drop out of school..." Lin Yang joked.

"Nonsense," Grandma Susie said, giving Lin Yang a light tap on the back of the head.

"You're a Soul Master now. How can you amount to anything if you stay cooped up in this little village? Don't worry about me. Go out and study if you should, and go out and explore if you should."

"It's just that your family can't support you..."

Seeing a hint of guilt creep into Susie's grandmother's eyes, Lin Yang quickly changed the subject.

"Grandma, your good health now is the greatest support you can give me. I hope you live to be a hundred years old, then you'll still be able to help me take care of my children."

"So when are you going to bring a granddaughter-in-law home for Grandma?"

"Grandma...you're here again."

The tranquil Red Maple Village is shrouded in night, with kerosene lamps lit up in each house like stars dotting the dark blue night sky, unassuming yet shining steadily.

The evening breeze carries the scent of grass from the fields, mingling with the aroma of food from every household and the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks, painting a simple yet heartwarming picture.
