Did Yu Xiaowei really want to kill Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun?
The answer is clearly no, because there was no deep grudge between them—they had just had a quarrel. Yu Xiaowei was displeased with them, but he had no intention to kill them.
However, in order to force Oscar to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he had to say those things.
This kid valued brotherhood deeply and was very stubborn. Without some tricks, it would be impossible to persuade him.
Besides, Yu Xiaowei bullied Oscar because he had grown up in a comfortable nest and had never experienced a killing aura.
Sure enough, the boy gave in after the first phase of the intimidation plan that Yu Xiaowei had prepared.
His method was indeed somewhat despicable.
But Oscar had to be pulled to his side.
Others might not know, but Yu Xiaowei knew that Oscar would definitely become a Title Douluo in the future—though his cultivation path was a bit longer.
Still, even if he was only a Soul Emperor now, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could gain additional help when the war with the Spirit Hall began.
After saying that, he needed to figure out how to make this guy change his soul incantations. Right now, all his spells were lewd, like "I have a big sausage." Yu Xiaowei couldn't stand the thought of Ning Rongrong eating this kind of sausage.
Although there had never been a successful case of changing a soul incantation on the continent, someone had to be the first to set a precedent.
"Hey, Godzilla!!!"
That sudden shout interrupted Yu Xiaowei's thoughts.
Feng Xiaotian was waving at the gate of Lanba Academy.
What was this guy up to again? Hadn't he been beaten enough?
With doubt in his heart, Yu Xiaowei walked over and asked coldly.
"Why are you looking for me? Not satisfied with the beating last time and want to fight again?"
"You beat me fair and square. Why wouldn't I accept it? But I didn't come here for that."
Seeing Yu Xiaowei roll up his sleeves, Feng Xiaotian quickly explained.
"Then why are you here out of nowhere? Want to enroll in Lanba Academy? I can arrange it."
As he said that, Yu Xiaowei's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Feng Xiaotian's collar and dragged him into the academy.
A huge force came, and Yu Xiaowei's hands were like iron clamps—he couldn't escape at all.
Feng Xiaotian, powerless to break free, immediately cried out.
"Brother! I'll call you brother! I was wrong! Please let me go! If I enroll in your Lanba Academy, my dad will beat me to death!"
"You're not here for a duel, and you don't want to enroll, so why are you here? Are you messing with me? Don't you know I'm really busy?"
Yu Xiaowei looked displeased and started rolling up his sleeves again.
Feng Xiaotian was almost in tears. Why did this Godzilla always want to beat him up every time they met? But for his own happiness, he had to swallow the bitter pill and speak up.
"I came because of Sister Huo Wu!"
"?"
Now it was Yu Xiaowei's turn to be confused. What does your pursuit of Huo Wu have to do with me?
Feng Xiaotian said indignantly:
"Last time, when you showed off your power at the academy gate and beat the seven of us, my image in Sister Huo Wu's eyes took a huge hit. So, I want you to help me put on a show."
"A show where I beat you up?"
"No, no, no! You didn't even try that hard when you beat me last time. Sister Huo Wu saw the whole thing. Wouldn't it make me look like a fool if we did something like that?"
"So what kind of play are you talking about?"
Feng Xiaotian scratched his head shyly, dragged Yu Xiaowei to a quiet corner, and whispered cunningly:
"I've thought up the perfect script. I'll invite Sister Huo Wu to Sunset Forest in two days. Then you'll pretend to be a villain and kidnap her. I'll show up just in time to save her like a hero saving a beauty, and then she'll fall for me."
Feng Xiaotian grew more excited as he spoke.
Imagining the moment when he saved her, and Huo Wu threw herself into his arms calling sweetly, "Brother Xiaotian," gave him tingles.
Seeing his perverted expression, Yu Xiaowei sighed inwardly.
If this guy put even half—no, a third—of this energy into cultivation, he'd be a Soul King by now.
And really, could someone over fourteen come up with a script like this?
Still, Yu Xiaowei didn't reject the idea immediately. He rolled his eyes, licked his lips, and said to Feng Xiaotian:
"Alright, but I want payment."
"Let's make this clear. Actually, I have a second script. It's even better than yours. Huo Wu wouldn't even suspect a thing. But this script…"
"It's more expensive."
Feng Xiaotian was stunned. Just money? That should be easy!
But for Sister Huo Wu, he held it in.
After checking his soul guide, Feng Xiaotian said painfully:
"I've got 50,000 gold soul coins. Is that enough for this second script?"
Yu Xiaowei laughed coldly and said:
"50,000? Are you begging me? These days, people who want my help pay with soul bones."
"Soul bones!?"
Feng Xiaotian was shocked. He had never even seen a soul bone—how was he supposed to give one as payment?
But then Yu Xiaowei changed the subject and offered a glimmer of hope.
"You're lucky. I have something that's not easy to handle lately. If you help me with it, I'll take the job."
"What is it? Tell me quick!"
"Go to Spirit Hall and report someone named Tang San. He has twin spirits—Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer. And his biological father is Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."
"Clear Sky Douluo!? Are you trying to get me killed!?"
Feng Xiaotian hadn't taken it seriously when he heard the name Tang San, but the moment he heard Tang Hao, he freaked out.
Yu Xiaowei quickly covered his mouth and whispered:
"Shhh, lower your voice! Don't let anyone hear you."
"If you report it quietly, how would Clear Sky Douluo know it was you?"
"Besides, I'm not asking you to catch him, just to report it to Spirit Hall. Look at you being such a coward. And you still want to chase Huo Wu?"
"Anyway, think about it. I won't force you. Or you can just pay me with a soul bone."
In the end, Feng Xiaotian hesitated again and again, but finally nodded in agreement.
After parting with Feng Xiaotian on a good note, Yu Xiaowei started thinking about how to help him act out the play.
That idiot had helped him a lot, and it was worth it to revisit his "Actor's Self-Cultivation" skills.
Just as he returned to his dorm, Zhu Zhuqing came to his door.
He had expected it, but didn't think she'd come so soon.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing standing at a distance, Yu Xiaowei asked lazily:
"You're so afraid of me—why did you come?"
"Because there are things scarier than you. That's why I had to come."
Zhu Zhuqing's face wasn't as cold as before—it showed a hint of fear.
Yu Xiaowei grinned.
"Then you can go find Dai Mubai. I won't stop you."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned to panic. This was her biggest secret, and she didn't expect it to be exposed in one sentence.
"You know? I once fought a couple in the Star Luo Empire. They had an extremely strong martial spirit fusion skill, but I still beat them. The woman looked just like you."
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing understood: Yu Xiaowei already knew the secret of the Dai and Zhu families.
So she lowered her head, bit her lip, and said:
"You expelled Dai Mubai, and now I... I don't know what to do anymore."
"I don't like him."
"But I also don't want to die."
Yu Xiaowei took out a piece of paper from his soul guide that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to her.
"Sign this, and I'll protect you from death."
"If your sister dares chase after you, I'll even help you kill her."
Zhu Zhuqing took the paper in a daze, only to see three large words at the top that caught her eye:
"Body Sale Contract."
