Tang Hao Wants to Kill Cao Mengde

Tang San stared at the little spotted puppy before him.

At that moment, both his gaze and his feelings grew exceptionally complicated.

If he hadn't experienced it himself,

he wouldn't have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

Should he keep it?

Or get rid of it?

In truth, Tang San had long since made up his mind.

He had held back because he found the reality hard to accept and wondered whether there was something else behind it.

"Little San..."

Just then,

a deep, resonant voice came from behind Tang San.

That voice?

Tang San found it very familiar and immediately turned around.

When he saw who it was, his expression filled with both excitement and grievance.

"Dad..."

That was right.

It was Tang Hao.

Ever since Tang San had entered the Soul Master World, Tang Hao had secretly followed and protected him.

Over the past few days,

he had witnessed everything Tang San had gone through.

"Little San, I know everything that happened to you."

What?

Tang San was greatly surprised.

Had his father been watching him all along?

"Dad, I..."

Tang Hao understood his son's embarrassment and looked at the little spotted puppy on the ground.

"Don't dwell on it."

"I've never seen anything like this either. Just treat it as an accident and kill it."

What was this?

It was an abomination.

A disgrace to the Tang family.

How could it be allowed to live?

Hadn't Tang San thought the same thing?

It was just that something so bizarre was impossible for him to accept.

"Dad, could someone have framed me?"

"Or could Cao Mengde have deliberately brought a dog over while he was treating me?"

After all, at the time,

Tang San had been in such agony that he hadn't paid attention to the details.

Tang Hao nodded, gratified by his son's cleverness.

"Your guess is quite plausible, but I was watching in secret from beginning to end. It really... it really was."

Tang San's pupils trembled violently, and he was devastated.

That was the only possibility, yet Tang Hao's eyewitness account had overturned it.

"I didn't eat anything strange."

"I refuse to believe a Soul Master could turn into that just from eating something unclean..."

Tang San complained, deeply unwilling to accept it.

That was right.

He simply didn't believe it.

How could something so strange have happened?

Seeing his son fall apart, Tang Hao felt terrible as well.

He raised a large hand and placed it on Tang San's shoulder.

"Since it's already happened, we can only face it."

"Don't worry. This will never get out."

"The teachers and students of Shrek are close to you, so they'll certainly keep it secret. Only Cao Mengde is an uncertain factor. I'll take care of him."

The Tang family's reputation was at stake.

Tang Hao dared not be careless. He had to eliminate any possibility of the family's disgrace getting out.

Even if Cao Mengde repeatedly promised not to reveal it, he wouldn't believe him.

After giving his instructions,

Tang Hao cast one last glance at the abomination that wouldn't stop barking.

"Get rid of it."

With that,

Tang Hao turned and left.

He believed Tang San would make the right choice.

But as he walked,

Tang Hao couldn't help stopping and hiding behind a large tree.

For the Tang family, this was an earth-shattering affair. He had to watch Tang San destroy that beast with his own hands.

For a moment,

the day's events flashed through Tang San's mind.

There was also the fact that he couldn't discover why it had happened.

All his frustration, embarrassment, and shame...

turned into a towering rage.

First Soul Skill.

Blue Silver Entanglement.

Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground and rushed at the little spotted puppy.

Its eyes filled with terror, the puppy instinctively turned and ran.

But it had only just been born, and its body was extremely fragile. Before long, the Blue Silver Grass bound it.

"You abomination..."

"You made me, Tang San, lose all face. I'll make you regret ever being born..."

Clear Sky Hammer!

Rise.

Tang San summoned his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

He raised it above his head with both hands and brought it crashing down in a fury.

Boom.

Under the crushing force, a cloud of bloody mist erupted.

Even after Tang San had dealt with the abomination,

he found it hard to calm his heavy heart.

Afterward,

he would have to review everything again and find time to investigate the matter thoroughly.

If he discovered that someone really had framed him, that person had a way to die.

He would make the culprit pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

Meanwhile,

Cao Mengde, who was standing in the examination room treating Xiao Wu, gradually opened his mouth wider.

A sneeze.

Who?

Who was cursing him?

"Lord Mengde, hold the carrot steady."

Cao Mengde's body had jolted when he sneezed, affecting Xiao Wu's treatment.

"Sorry."

"Xiao Wu, I'll continue your treatment. Keep at it. You must suck out the medicine inside the carrot."

Speaking of which,

Xiao Wu found it strange.

Last time, she'd been so eager to get treated that she hadn't had time to ask.

Now she asked, "Lord Mengde, why don't you pour out the medicine inside the carrot? Wouldn't that be much more convenient?"

Cao Mengde explained with a perfectly straight face.

"Here's the thing."

"The medicine has to soak with the carrot for a long time before it can treat the illness."

"If the opening in the carrot is too large, the medicine will lose its effectiveness. To be safe, the opening is very small, which is why you need to suck hard."

After hearing his explanation,

Xiao Wu understood.

"I never expected Lord Mengde to put such painstaking care into his treatment."

Once she finished speaking,

Xiao Wu, still blindfolded, continued.

To drink the medicine as quickly as possible, Xiao Wu worked harder and harder. After all, she was still worried about Tang San.

As a result,

Cao Mengde was in bliss.

The amorous glow on his face made it easy to see just how satisfied he was.

After a while,

Xiao Wu successfully sucked out the medicine and swallowed it all.

The same old taste, the same familiar formula.

Xiao Wu removed her blindfold.

For some reason, she found Cao Mengde lying on the bed.

Perhaps he was tired from holding the carrot for so long?

"Lord Mengde, I'll be going now. I'll come back for treatment tomorrow afternoon."

"And please, whatever you do, don't tell anyone about Third Brother."

Cao Mengde waved his hand. "Go on. I'll keep Tang San's secret. Remember to come every day, or that strange illness that leaves you unable to get full will return."

Since Cao Mengde was fooling Xiao Wu, the subsequent treatments earned him no system rewards.

But that didn't matter.

He had arranged for Xiao Wu to come for a month.

During that month,

he wouldn't be lonely.

Lying on the bed, Cao Mengde planned to take a short nap.

Then he would find another target and continue planting Gu.

Hmm?

Suddenly,

Cao Mengde sensed a powerful presence.

As a Titled Douluo, he was highly sensitive and reacted immediately.

The moment he sprang to his feet,

Whoosh!

A towering figure appeared in the doorway of the examination room.

He wore a tattered robe, and his skin was bronze.

The next moment,

the Clear Sky Hammer was in his hand, killing intent surging around him.

"Cao Mengde, I shouldn't have to kill you."

"But for the Tang family's reputation, you must die."
