Xiao Wu Is Punished, Tang San's Heart Breaks
The bond between Xiao Wu and Tang San was stronger than gold.
In the original story, Xiao Wu had even been willing to sacrifice herself for Tang San.
Now that Tang San was gravely injured, how could Xiao Wu possibly stand by and do nothing?
Even though Dugu Bo's icy eyes kept scrutinizing her,
Xiao Wu still steeled herself and stepped forward.
In the presence of a Titled Douluo, Xiao Wu risked being exposed at any moment.
But for Tang San, Xiao Wu was willing to take that risk.
"Xiao Wu, don't..."
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting like an ox.
Damn Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar...
Why wouldn't they step forward and take the punishment for him?
Why did they have to let a frail girl like Xiao Wu endure this pain?
The Shrek Seven Devils were a team.
They should share their blessings and face their hardships together.
Now, he had been beaten and gravely injured for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's reputation.
The others should step forward and stand with him through thick and thin.
Instead of playing dead without a word.
Tang San gnashed his teeth.
But Dai Mubai and the others acted as though they hadn't seen a thing.
They had no intention of asking for a beating.
Getting slapped in the face was no good thing.
They would have to be fools to come forward for it.
Ultimately, the main problem was that Tang San was trash.
A control-type Soul Master, utterly crushed by a support-type Soul Master.
If word got out, he would be laughed out of the room.
Granted, Su Yu really was a monster.
But Tang San hadn't even lasted a minute before being taken out in an instant.
That was Tang San's problem.
If he was bad, he needed more practice!
Besides, Tang San had been the one to propose the duel, without consulting anyone else.
Now that he had lost, it was his own affair.
In any case, Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire. There was no way he would take Su Yu's slaps for Tang San.
As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, given their character, they were even less likely to do so.
Ning Rongrong's heart was with Su Yu.
Not kicking Tang San while he was down was already the utmost kindness. How could she possibly help him?
And Zhu Zhuqing was still counting on Su Yu to give her a tattoo.
She wouldn't take Tang San's side at a time like this either.
Only the silly rabbit Xiao Wu, blinded by love,
was willing to sacrifice herself for Tang San.
A playful smile curled at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
Compared to Tang San, he was indeed more interested in Xiao Wu.
Since Xiao Wu insisted on coming to him, Su Yu had no intention of showing her any mercy.
"I'm a kindhearted person!"
"Since you're so considerate of your teammate, I won't slap your face."
"Really?"
"That's wonderful!"
When Xiao Wu heard this, she jumped up and down with excitement.
She kept saying that Su Yu was a good person.
But the next moment...
Su Yu changed tack, leaving Xiao Wu frozen on the spot.
"Instead of slapping your face, I'll spank your bottom!"
Xiao Wu: "..."
Xiao Wu's face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
Although a spanking did sound better than getting slapped in the face,
it was far too humiliating.
She was Shrek's big sister.
How could she let someone pin her down and spank her?
That was something her mother had only done when she was little, to punish her for misbehaving.
"Come here, you..."
Su Yu wasn't about to give Xiao Wu a chance to refuse.
His left arm clamped around Xiao Wu with brute force.
Then came the sound of smack, smack, smack.
A stinging pain instantly spread across Xiao Wu's bottom.
"Damn it..."
"Stop it! I don't want to be spanked."
Xiao Wu struggled wildly.
Being punished with so many people watching in full view was social death.
Xiao Wu felt that her time as big sister had come to an end.
At that moment, her dignity, inside and out, was utterly crushed.
"Oh?"
"Are you sure you want me to stop?"
"If you're not willing to take Little Scumbag's punishment, I won't show him any mercy."
"When that happens, he'll be in for a world of suffering!"
Su Yu's devilish whisper brought a tear sliding down the corner of Xiao Wu's eye.
"San-ge, for you, I'm willing to endure this humiliation."
Xiao Wu stopped resisting.
She silently gritted her teeth and accepted the punishment.
With that one sentence, Su Yu had seized Xiao Wu's weakness.
For Tang San, she was willing to do anything.
"Yamero..."
"Yamero..."
Tang San felt as though a knife were cutting into his heart.
He had raised this rabbit for so long, yet he had made no real progress with her himself.
And now Su Yu had taken liberties with her first.
It was infuriating.
Tang San swore that one day he would make Su Yu pay.
"I! Definitely! Will!"
Seeing that his beloved disciple's eyes had turned red, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help offering him comfort.
"Xiao San, this defeat isn't a bad thing for you."
"It's a good thing!"
"The opponents Shrek faced before couldn't beat you, so they couldn't serve as whetstones."
"But this defeat can not only temper your state of mind, it can also show you that beyond every person is someone greater, and beyond every heaven is another heaven."
"I believe in you. It won't be long before you surpass Su Yu and wash away today's humiliation."
Tang San couldn't take in a single word of Yu Xiaogang's comfort.
He was already in such a miserable state, and this was a damn good thing?
Gangzi really knew how to make thoughtless remarks.
His kidneys were still aching even now.
And on top of that, he had watched with his own eyes as Su Yu gave the little white rabbit he had raised a hard spanking.
Tang San couldn't shake the feeling that it had a certain cherry blossom style.
This was murder followed by an attack on the heart.
"Boo-hoo-hoo..."
"How many has it been?"
"Why isn't it over yet..."
As Xiao Wu was punished, every second felt like a year.
Su Yu said nothing and simply kept at it.
At last, the final stroke arrived.
Su Yu took a deep breath and put all his strength into it.
Then an even crisper sound rang out.
Xiao Wu's pupils contracted.
She felt as though she was about to—break.
Even worse, Su Yu not only spanked her, he also gave her a hard squeeze with a dragon claw hand.
This was going too far.
Xiao Wu wanted to protest!
But after seeing Dugu Bo's icy eyes at the side, no matter how aggrieved Xiao Wu felt, she could only swallow her broken teeth.
If she really made a scene,
her identity might well be exposed.
Xiao Wu didn't dare do that.
And so, she could only swallow the grievance in silence.
When she returned to Tang San's side, Xiao Wu felt she could barely walk straight.
"Bastard!"
"I, Xiao Wu, will remember today's humiliation."
"One day, I'll pay you back double."
Xiao Wu clenched her little fists and glared fiercely at Su Yu.
Su Yu noticed her man-eating gaze but paid it no mind.
A mere Shapeshifted Soul Beast was beneath his notice.
An enemy had to be a Titled Douluo at the very least to merit Su Yu's attention.
If you weren't a Titled Douluo, you weren't qualified to demand screen time from Brother Yu.
"Ahem..."
"As the saying goes, you don't get to know someone until you've fought."
"We came today not only to invite you to join Shrek, but also to ask you to give us tattoos."
"Since you're unwilling to join Shrek, I hope the deal won't be affected."
"We know your rules!"
"We're willing to pay any price. Just name it."
Flender hadn't forgotten the real purpose of their visit.
Although there had been some unpleasantness between them just now,
as long as their skin was thick enough,
what did that little bit of unpleasantness matter?
