Xiao Wu Beat Tang San Up: What an Idiot

"Space Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body, two divine skills."

"And a Soul Bone..."

Tang Wulin froze. Setting aside how great a free Soul Bone was, the two top-tier Soul Skills alone already counted as an exceptional reward.

Perhaps Xiao Wu's potential wasn't necessarily among the greatest of all the Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent. After all, she was only a Soft Bone Rabbit, but it had to be said...

Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body were absolutely the Soul Skills any Soul Master dreamed of most, especially for him, who currently had neither a Soul Ring nor a Soul Skill.

With the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and teleportation, he would already be capable of killing Soul Beasts. Obtaining his First Soul Ring wouldn't be a problem.

"Um..."

"Boss, how about you two have a fight after all?"

At that moment, Wang Sheng sneaked over, evidently still nursing his little scheme, and spoke beside Tang Wulin.

"Hmm?"

Tang Wulin gave him a somewhat strange look. Who talked to someone perfectly happily one moment and suggested a fight the next?

"What fight? Fight who?"

"And boss? I want to be boss!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu looked somewhat puzzled as well, though she was even more curious.

A fight? She was good at those. Da Ming and Er Ming had never beaten her. Even a light kick from her could leave the two of them hurting for ages!

"You, boss?"

"Our boss is a top talent with Innate Full Soul Power. How could you be our boss?"

Hearing that, Wang Sheng immediately spoke up from the side, hoping to put an end to her unrealistic fantasy.

"Innate Full Soul Power? I have Innate Full Soul Power too. It's not like I can't be boss."

Xiao Wu paused, then spoke up at once.

"You have Innate Full Soul Power too?"

Wang Sheng's eyes widened. She actually had the same talent as the boss. How terrifying!

"Yep!"

"So, where's your boss?"

A proud smile on her face, Xiao Wu asked.

"Xiao Wu, I'm the one you'd be fighting. Want to try?"

"Bring it on. Who's afraid... ah."

Tang Wulin looked at her silently. The instant Xiao Wu met his gaze, she froze, her little heart pounding.

Her heart was indeed racing, but it absolutely wasn't because she liked him. She had only just felt the urge to fight the person before her, and she was already being suppressed so badly she could hardly breathe!

What a tyrannical Martial Soul bloodline! Just what is Tang Wulin's Martial Soul?

"I changed my mind."

"Who wants to fight you..."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and promptly turned her face away. The thought in her mind sputtered out in an instant.

Boss? As if I care!

"You'd be better off using that time to make your bed, or you won't have anywhere to sleep tonight."

Tang Wulin chuckled. Then, seeing how lightly she had traveled, he spoke somewhat thoughtfully. Come to think of it, did Xiao Wu not have bedding when she slept in the Star Dou Great Forest either?

"But from what I can see, apart from your little rabbit shoulder bag, you don't seem to have brought anything. No blanket?"

"Hehe, what do you think? My little bag is pretty, isn't it? I made it myself... wait?"

"We have to bring our own blankets?!"

When Tang Wulin mentioned the bag, a proud smile immediately appeared on Xiao Wu's face. She had made it herself, after all.

But she quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, and her smile slowly froze.

"Of course. We're work-study students, a special group who don't pay tuition to begin with. Our accommodations are different from everyone else's too, so of course there aren't any blankets."

Tang Wulin spoke helplessly from the side. They were work-study students, with boys and girls sharing a dorm, and she still expected a free blanket?

"..."

Listening to Tang Wulin, Xiao Wu lowered her head, increasingly at a loss for words. By now, she understood perfectly well how important a blanket was, but...

A blanket—where was she supposed to get one?

"Um..."

"Wu-Wulinlin, where's your bed?"

A little later, a complicated expression flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. She looked at Tang Wulin, blinked, and asked tentatively.

"Hmm?"

"What are you trying to do?"

Tang Wulin immediately froze and couldn't help asking.

"Eh? N-no, it's not what you're thinking."

Seeing how wary he was, Xiao Wu could tell he had gotten the wrong idea. She hurriedly waved her hands. They were still children.

"I just wanted to know if you had a spare blank—"

"No."

"Then could I..."

"No."

"..."

Xiao Wu pouted and lowered her head in silence.

She hadn't even said what it was yet. How could Wulin be so heartless? Where was she supposed to get a blanket now?

It wasn't as if someone would just give her one for free!

"..."

Meanwhile, outside the dormitory, Tang San was happily carrying the blanket his teacher had given him toward Dorm Seven, utterly unaware of what he was about to lose.

"Wulin, can you do it or not..."

"Stop right there."

Before he could push the door open, a man's voice and a woman's voice reached his ears. Tang San immediately frowned, a thoughtful look on his face.

The man's voice was Tang Wulin's, but the other voice—could it really be a girl's...?

"Boss, a newcomer's here!"

Hearing the door open, Wang Sheng immediately located Tang San by sound, fixed his gaze on him, and spoke quietly to the boss beside him.

"Go beat him up!"

"..."

At that moment, Tang Wulin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could Wang Sheng be a little hater? He really knew what to say.

"Wulin, are you going to fight him?"

"No."

"If you're not fighting him, I'll do it for you."

Beside him, Xiao Wu's sadness over not having a blanket temporarily vanished, and she looked over, eager to give it a try.

Mm! This kid doesn't look like a good person. I can beat him up without worrying!

"G-girl..."

"A girl? It really is a girl, a living girl?"

Meanwhile, when Tang San saw Xiao Wu coming toward him, he froze on the spot. How was there a girl in the dormitory?

And... was she coming over to him?

A bewildered look appeared on Tang San's face. Having lived two lives without ever interacting with girls, he felt especially hesitant, and then...

A foot suddenly appeared right in front of his face.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing..."

Before he could defend himself, he was sent flying with a crash and landed on the ground. Even the blanket in his hands fell beside him.

Tang San was out cold.

"Eh?"

"Is this guy an idiot? How come he couldn't even dodge such a simple move?"

Xiao Wu was at a loss. She stared blankly at Tang San, who lay on the ground without getting up, scratched her head, and spoke after a moment's silence.

He isn't faking an injury to scam me, is he?

But I, Xiao Wu, don't have anything he could swindle out of me!

"Hmm..."

"Maybe he fell asleep."

Tang Wulin spoke after a moment's silence, looking at the belt around Tang San's waist and the blanket beside him.

Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night and a set of bedding were perhaps the greatest help Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had given him.

"Mm! That makes sense."

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xiao Wu believed him and nodded. Young people really had it good; they fell asleep the moment they lay down.

"But..."

Her gaze settled on the blanket Tang San had dropped just before passing out. A thoughtful look appeared in her bright eyes, and they soon lit up.

"This blanket fell on the ground."

"No one wants it, right?"

Xiao Wu coughed lightly and blinked as she looked around, talking to herself.

Three seconds passed. No one answered.

"Ehehe!"

"Since no one wants it, it doesn't belong to anyone."

Xiao Wu's face was full of delight. She promptly patted the dust off the blanket and gathered it into her arms.

"Wulin, what do you think?"

"Isn't the blanket I picked up nice?"

Her eyes full of delight, Xiao Wu spoke with a grin.

Tang San: "..."
