Encountering Xiao Wu, Abducting a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Chapter 35 Encountering Xiao Wu, Abducting a 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast

Incidentally, You Chen confirmed the whereabouts of Xiao Wu, the female protagonist of the original novel, three days ago.

If it were a 100,000-year-old being from another world, You Chen would never have used such a "crude" method to appear before it.

At the very least, you need to come up with a logical reason.

But when he thought about how this was the Continent of Love-Brained People, and when he thought about how this person was named Xiao Wu, he suddenly felt that he was too tired from scheming. So, after confirming Xiao Wu's route, he completely lacked any sense of public morality and casually chopped down a big tree by the roadside, and silently sat down on the newly built wooden stump.

His words were entirely true; there were indeed thieves roaming the area, so his reason for stopping Xiao Wu, who looked like just a child, was perfectly reasonable.

"Hmph! A thief?"

Xiao Wu gave a disdainful look, waved her little fist, and said, "If any thief dares to cause trouble for Sister Xiao Wu, Sister Xiao Wu will definitely teach him a lesson!"

A Soul Master at the first level cannot completely ignore an attack by a large number of people.

However, Xiao Wu possesses a certain wild instinct, naturally giving her the ability to avoid danger, and she also has a much stronger combat experience than most children her age.

She wasn't really afraid of ordinary bandits.

You Chen shook his head: "Judging from your appearance, you must be some runaway young lady from a wealthy family. You haven't experienced the harsh realities of the world and don't know how ruthless these bandits are."

"Don't underestimate me, Little Wu, just because I lack life experience? You'll be shocked when I tell you my real age!"

Xiao Wu, indulging in a bit of Ah Q-like self-deception, silently scoffed at You Chen, saying with a sneer, "Uncle, what about you? Aren't you afraid? I've heard that some bandits and thieves are indiscriminate in their appetites, going months without meat, and even getting envious of men! You look like a weak scholar to me, Uncle. I'm afraid you'll be beaten to your knees and dragged back to be their star!"

What he said at the beginning was alright, but what he said later made even You Chen's forehead crease with black lines.

Is this really Xiao Wu's character design?

You Chen thought back for a moment, and a scene from his memory suddenly popped into his mind...

It seems that as soon as they met, Xiao Wu asked Tang San if he was afraid of being forced into sex by her, which was why he didn't dare to cover himself with a blanket.

It was because of this scene that he earned the nickname "Rogue Rabbit" among netizens.

If it were just a little kid saying these dirty things to him, well... we can't let it go.

Let alone Xiao Wu, that old rabbit?

"stay!"

You Chen raised an eyebrow and gave a light shout. With a slap, Xiao Wu felt the fluctuation of soul power flowing through You Chen's hand, and then she was hit on the buttocks.

Self-created Soul Skill - Lightning-Fast Shadowless Hand to Slap a Loli's Butt!

"Ouch!"

Xiao Wu cried out in pain, jumped up suddenly, then covered her bottom with a face full of shame and indignation, her eyes brimming with tears, and glared at You Chen through gritted teeth: "Perverted old man!"

"snort."

Having found enjoyment in beating Hu Liena after beating Xiao Wu, You Chen's mood instantly improved. He then casually put his hands behind his back, adopting a superior air: "You ill-mannered little brat, I haven't even mentioned how you verbally insulted me, and you're already accusing me first? I'm just showing you the consequences of being too reckless and provoking troublesome people when you're out and about! It's only because I'm kind that I'm doing this. A bad person, perhaps because you're good-looking, would have already tied you up and auctioned you off as a slave! So, I'm doing this for your own good!"

You Chen's righteous and eloquent statement was at least three levels of persuasiveness!

But Xiao Wu is not the kind of rabbit who will forgive and forget even when she is in the right.

"Someone you think is someone you shouldn't mess with? Just because you had the advantage of surprise, you're so smug?! Little Wu will show you that you're the one who offended the wrong person!"

Xiao Wu went up through gritted teeth.

Then, as expected, he was beaten until he knelt down.

She finally realized that You Chen's ability to easily slap her butt was not a fluke, but rather a result of an absolute difference in strength!

"Do you know you were wrong?" You Chen asked.

"I...I understand..." Little Rabbit had no choice but to bow her head under the eaves.

"Then tell me where you went wrong?" You Chen launched a follow-up attack.

Xiao Wu immediately raised her head, glaring fiercely at You Chen: "You perverted old man, don't push your luck! Didn't you say I'm a spoiled rich girl who ran away from home? Be careful, my family might come after you and teach you a lesson!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's obvious embarrassment and anger but her helplessness, You Chen smiled happily and patted Xiao Wu's head like a ball.

While Xiao Wu was seething with hatred, she showed no sign of restraining her anger.

Perhaps it was because, during this brief exchange, she realized that the "perverted uncle" in front of her was actually a good person in the usual sense.

A busybody who sees a human baby running away from home for no apparent reason and then comes over to meddle and act like a know-it-all.

So even if she shows some anger or hostility, there won't be any real danger.

"Alright, remember to be more careful around strangers next time!"

You Chen moved his hand away, seemingly having already given her a lesson, and seeing the power Xiao Wu displayed as a Soul Master, he was no longer too worried about her safety. He then turned to leave.

Xiao Wu watched You Chen leave and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

But as You Chen's figure grew smaller and smaller in her eyes, another idea suddenly popped into her head.

"Wait, didn't he just say he was going to a remote place?"

Having just left the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu's understanding of the human world was extremely limited. She had only learned a little about it in a small city in the Barak Kingdom that she had passed through.

She entered the human world because she needed to cultivate by contacting human auras. Ideally, she would find a place without too many powerful individuals to peacefully spend her infancy after transforming into human form.

Since this young human is going to a rather remote place, and is also a "good person"...

"Wait, sir!"

Seeing that You Chen was walking unhurriedly but at an unusually fast speed, Xiao Wu quickly chased after him. Afraid of losing sight of him, she activated her first soul skill, running and shouting loudly as she went.

"What's wrong, little radish?"

You Chen's lips curled slightly, and after quietly suppressing his "perfect plan" expression, he turned around, revealing a look of confusion.

"Um, may I ask where you're going?"

Xiao Wu belatedly realized that her attitude before and after seemed a bit abnormal. She widened her eyes slightly and asked timidly.

Clearly, they were exploiting the characteristics of human cubs, using their cuteness to charm You Chen.

You Chen, too lazy to waste time, replied, "I need to cross the border of the Kingdom of Barak to a small place called Notting City in the province of Nafanos. What's wrong? Why are you asking me this? Are you trying to be kidnapped by that perverted uncle you mentioned?"

Looking at You Chen's teasing expression, Xiao Wu's breath hitched, and she secretly clenched her fists.

His face, however, wore an expression of surprise: "Notting City!? Isn't that the same destination as me!? Kind sir, didn't you say there are bandits roaming around here? Could you... give me a ride?"

As she spoke, she put on a pitiful look and started acting cute.
