Chapter 91: A Reluctant Sacrifice
Chapter 91: A Reluctant Sacrifice
After seeing the guests out, Wang Si returned to the waiting room.
In the waiting room, a little rabbit was cowering under a table, trembling.
"Little Dancer, what are you doing hiding down there?"
Wang Si grabbed her clothes and pulled her out.
"No, no, I don't want to! Dean, please, I don't want to go out there!" Little Dancer pleaded, trying to shrink back under the table. She was clearly terrified, and with good reason—a Title Douluo was no small matter!
"Come now, Little Dancer, they're gone," Wang Si said, trying to pull her out by her ankle. But Little Dancer kicked and struggled, refusing to cooperate.
With no other choice, Wang Si flipped over the table. Two loud slaps on her face stopped her sobbing.
A pair of large, misty eyes looked at Wang Si pitifully, and she unconsciously swallowed.
Little Dancer felt nauseous at her own reaction, and turned her head to the side, retching.
Seeing this, Wang Si knew that Zhu Ming's illusion technique on Little Dancer had worn off, and she now realized what she had been doing.
The appearance of a Title Douluo was a life-or-death crisis, and it had broken through Little Dancer's resolve.
"Rest assured, your true identity wasn't discovered by that Title Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Seeing Little Dancer turn her head away and fall silent, Wang Si decided to be direct.
At his words, Little Dancer's fur flew up in agitation, and she stared at him in disbelief.
"You're just a soul beast in human form. Your true identity was obvious to me from the moment I first laid eyes on you!"
At this revelation, Little Dancer's body began to shake violently, and her eyes reflected her fear.
"You... you... you..."
It was no wonder Little Dancer was afraid; with her identity exposed, she was no match for this man.
Wang Si grabbed her right arm and gave it a light squeeze.
"Your soul bone should be here. I'm curious, if I don't kill you and just cut off this arm, will a soul bone appear?" Wang Si asked, intrigued.
Little Dancer immediately pulled her arm away and curled into a ball. "Dean, please don't kill me! I'll do anything for you, just please don't kill me!"
Hearing her pleas, Wang Si shook his head gently.
He raised his hand and knocked Little Dancer unconscious with a light tap on her head. Opening a nearby door, he tossed her inside, then followed.
In the "Home," Zhu Ming stepped out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and looked at the unconscious Little Dancer, then at Wang Si, raising an eyebrow.
"How did you know I've reached the ninetieth level, Master? This little rabbit would make a perfect ninth soul ring for me." Zhu Ming licked the corner of her mouth as she spoke.
Wang Si grabbed Little Dancer and walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
"With all the hundred-thousand-year soul rings you have, do you really need this little rabbit as well?" Wang Si asked, bemused.
Zhu Ming pouted in response, her expression pitiful. "The ones you give me aren't the same as the ones I earn myself, Master. Besides, I've followed you for so long, and you've never really given me a gift that I truly wanted!"
Following behind Wang Si, Zhu Ming teased him.
Hearing this, Wang Si glanced at Zhu Ming. In terms of strength, beauty, and potential, she had far surpassed what she had been just a few years ago. And yet, she still complained that he hadn't given her a proper gift? Women, never satisfied!
They arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, and Wang Si woke Little Dancer up with a slap.
As Little Dancer slowly came to, she was startled by her unfamiliar surroundings. Seeing Wang Si and the woman behind him, she immediately fell to her knees.
"Dean, please, I beg of you, don't kill me. I'll do anything you ask, just spare me. I haven't done anything wrong since coming to the human world.
I just want to cultivate... no, I just want to live a peaceful life. Dean, please, spare me..."
Her pleas were much more coherent now, a vast improvement from before.
"Letting you go is out of the question. How about you become my soul ring instead?"
Wang Si took a step forward and tugged on Little Dancer's ear.
Hmm?
Little Dancer looked at him questioningly.
Become his soul ring? The soul ring of someone about to break through to the Soul Emperor level?
What a pipe dream!
Little Dancer's face soon showed her disdain.
Seeing this expression, Wang Si couldn't help but laugh.
"What's this? Just now you were begging for your life, and now that you know I want your soul ring, you've found your courage?"
Wang Si playfully slapped Little Dancer's cheek.
"No, no..."
Little Dancer quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Wang Si's gaze.
She was truly exasperated with these people who could read her emotions so easily. It was so annoying!
"Since that's the case, why don't you sacrifice yourself to me? I hear that's a skill all 100,000-year soul beasts possess."
Little Dancer's head snapped up in surprise at his words, her mouth agape. How did he even know about the sacrifice ability! Seeing the meaningful smile on Wang Si's face, she knew she'd been outmaneuvered again.
Feeling guilty, Little Dancer lowered her head.
"Little rabbit, sacrifice yourself willingly. It will lessen your pain."
Wang Si lifted Little Dancer's chin, eager to get started.
Forced to meet Wang Si's deep, fiery gaze, Little Dancer's brows furrowed.
She realized that today was the day she would meet her end in this desolate valley, and there was no escaping this Soul Douluo.
Since she was going to die here, there was no point in begging for mercy.
"If you want me to sacrifice myself, I will. But you have to fulfill a few conditions first!"
Little Dancer stated her terms.
In response, Wang Si chuckled and held up a finger.
"You may state one condition."
But I don't have to agree to it.
Seeming to read his mind, Little Dancer scoffed.
"One condition, and you must agree to it. Don't soul beasts have some say in their sacrifice?"
Wang Si pretended to understand and nodded, then listened attentively.
Little Dancer took a deep breath and looked at Wang Si, emphasizing each word.
"Once you obtain my soul ring and soul bone, you must not go to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. And if two soul beasts trouble you in the future, you must not harm them!"
As she spoke, Little Dancer glanced at Zhu Ming by Wang Si's side and frowned.
"You must not harm them, nor let anyone else harm them. Furthermore, you must protect them when they are in danger."
Hearing Little Dancer's demands, Wang Si feigned confusion.
"Who are these 'they' you speak of?"
Little Dancer struggled to keep the corners of her mouth from twitching at his question.
This guy would definitely be driven by curiosity to take a spin through the Star Dou Great Forest, and then Da Ming and Er Ming could take care of him.
Little Dancer could only hope that Da Ming and Er Ming would avenge her.
"You'll find out who they are soon enough!"
Little Dancer then looked deeply into Wang Si's eyes and sat down cross-legged, beginning the sacrifice.
As the sacrifice started, Little Dancer suddenly remembered something.
"I forgot to tell you, if your body isn't strong enough, you won't be able to withstand my soul power, and you might explode!
Little Dancer smirked.
Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring at only level 50? He really thought it would be that easy?
That was why she was so decisive.
