Chapter 22 Capturing Xiao Wu
Tang San was stunned by this scene. This was the Master? Where did that calm and composed demeanor, as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him, go? And how did bird droppings happen to land on the Master's mouth by such a coincidence?
What kind of teacher did I end up with? Tang San was completely bewildered.
"Teacher, are you alright?" After a moment of stunned silence, Tang San quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
However, worried about getting bird droppings on himself, Tang San still kept a little distance from Yu Xiaogang.
"Ugh, I'm not...ugh...it's nothing." Yu Xiaogang said between vomiting, while reaching out to stop Tang San from getting closer to him.
His instinctive reaching out resulted in him smearing bird droppings onto Tang San's face.
Tang San's expression changed instantly, and he then bent over and vomited.
……
Meanwhile, Lin Ye and his group were still outside the college.
Lin Ye teased Lin Qiu'er with a string of candied hawthorns. Lin Qiu'er opened her mouth to take a bite, but Lin Ye pulled her mouth back, and Lin Qiu'er missed. Her little face immediately puffed up in anger.
At this moment, Lin Ye cheekily handed over the candied hawthorn again, only to take it back when Lin Qiu'er was about to eat it. This happened repeatedly, making Lin Qiu'er so angry that she jumped up and down.
Lin Ye laughed heartily.
"Hey, there's a little rabbit." Hyotei suddenly looked to the side.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye immediately perked up and looked up to see a pretty little girl skipping and hopping towards them. She looked to be about six years old and about the same height as Lin Ye. She was wearing a pink top and had a small pink bag hanging from her waist.
Her pretty little face was fair with a rosy glow, and her delicate pinkish appearance resembled a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.
Her long black hair was styled into a scorpion braid that hung down to her hips, and her large, watery eyes curiously looked around.
Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who lived a carefree life with her mother in the great forest. One day, a group of human soul masters invaded the forest, their target being the mother and daughter. To protect her, her mother chose to stay behind and hold off the human soul masters, allowing Xiao Wu to escape safely. However, her mother was killed by the humans.
She vowed to avenge her mother, so she chose to transform into a human and enter the human world to find an opportunity to avenge her mother.
Today is her first day in the human city. There are so many beautiful buildings, so many beautiful clothes, and so many delicious-looking foods!
As Xiao Wu was looking around, a little boy stopped her.
Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and asked in a sweet voice, "What's wrong? Why are you stopping me?"
"Are you Xiao Wu?" Lin Ye asked.
Xiao Wu blinked and asked curiously, "Ah, how do you know my name?"
Lin Ye laughed, "I guess you could say I've been waiting for this to happen. Come with me."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiaowu's wrist.
The word "rabbit" made Xiao Wu very sensitive, and when she saw this person suddenly grab her, Xiao Wu panicked.
"What are you doing? Let me go! I need to go to the academy to register. Let me go now, or I'll call for help!" Xiao Wu struggled. Although she was a girl, she was surprisingly strong.
Unfortunately, Lin Ye was stronger, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape his clutches.
"Stop pretending, I can tell you're not human at first glance."
These words struck Xiao Wu like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and terrified.
She knew very well what it meant to have her transformed soul beast identity exposed.
Next, he would either be killed or imprisoned.
In short, from this moment on, she has lost her freedom.
Despair spread through her heart; she never imagined that her identity would be exposed so soon after arriving in the human world.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu noticed the three people who had followed Xue Di. Her gaze fell on the three-eyed golden lion in Xue Di's arms, who was happily munching on a string of candied hawthorns.
Xiao Wu thought these people were incredibly audacious enough to capture the auspicious beast, and immediately became furious. "Auspicious beast! You captured the auspicious beast! You despicable humans, how dare you! Aren't you afraid of retribution...?"
Lin Ye: "..."
How did you know it was captured by us? It seems Xiao Wu isn't very bright!
Lin Ye patted Lin Qiu'er's fluffy head and then patted her bottom. "What's wrong with the auspicious beast? Can't I touch its bottom or something?"
As the saying goes, "If you don't court death, you won't die!"
Lin Qiu'er instantly bristled. Everyone says you can't touch a tiger's backside, but does this auspicious beast look easier to bully than a tiger?
She opened her mouth and bit Lin Ye's hand.
hiss!
Lin Ye gasped in pain and quickly withdrew his hand. Upon closer inspection, he saw two rows of teeth marks on the back and palm of his hand, and the skin was already broken.
"Damn, you actually bit me?"
"Hmph, see if you dare touch my butt again next time." Lin Qiu'er bared her teeth, striking a fierce pose.
"Okay, I got it. I'll shave all the hair off your body another day," Lin Ye retorted defiantly.
……
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded by the two's bickering. What was going on? How come the auspicious beast and this human child seemed so familiar with each other? The noble auspicious beast had its butt touched, and the human was completely unharmed.
No one answered her questions.
And so, Lin Ye dragged Xiao Wu all the way back to his residence.
On the way back, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet. Apart from the carefree Lin Qiu'er, the two women, Xue Di and Bing Di, remained silent.
Ultimately, it was Xiao Wu's situation that made the two of them feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Lin Ye also noticed this, but there was nothing he could do. As long as Soul Masters still needed Soul Rings, this contradiction would always exist.
Meanwhile, at Notting College.
Tang San carried a set of school uniforms to the dormitory building.
There are only seven dormitories for the students. Because the students of the Junior Soul Master Academy are all relatively young, in order to better manage them, students from each grade live together in one large dormitory.
Each dormitory room has a teacher in charge.
Of these seven dormitories, Dormitory 7 is quite special. It is specifically for work-study students and is also the only dormitory with a mixed age group. Regardless of their grade, all work-study students live here.
Similarly, the conditions are the worst.
After all, the academy is not a charity. The tuition fees for work-study students have already been reduced or waived, so their treatment cannot be as good as that of ordinary students.
The door to Dormitory 7 was open, and there were seven or eight children, aged between eight and twelve, making noise inside.
Tang San's appearance also attracted the attention of the group of children. The oldest-looking one walked over, looked down at Tang San, and asked, "A new work-study student?"
"Hello, I'm a work-study student from Holy Soul Village," Tang San said with a smile.
"My name is Wang Sheng, my martial spirit is War Tiger, I am a future War Spirit Master, and also the leader here."
