Hahaha... Pure and Chaste Young Master Tang San!

"Pah, don't think Sister Xiao Wu doesn't know what you're talking about!"

Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Oscar and Ma Hongjun with disdain.

Expenses?

Did they really think she, Xiao Wu, was some stupid rabbit?

Like she couldn't understand?!

"That day, that paper tiger brought along two girls, and you too, Ma Hongjun. That whole evil fire thing was just an excuse. As for you, Oscar, there's clearly something wrong with those lecherous eyes of yours!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were struck dumb upon hearing this.

"Tang San, aren't you going to keep Xiao Wu in line?"

"It'd be one thing if Dai Mubai was a playboy, since he changed girls every couple of days. But I, Ma Hongjun, really only went to that kind of place because of my evil fire!"

Ma Hongjun blurted out without restraint, completely forgetting that Zhu Zhuqing was standing nearby.

"Yeah, Tang San, can't you keep Xiao Wu in line? Boss Dai is a womanizer, that's true. Fatty has his evil fire, but my eyes were born this way!"

"What do you mean, lecherous eyes? The number of relationships I've had can definitely be counted on two hands!"

Oscar said forcefully. How were his eyes lecherous? Were these peach blossom eyes ugly or something?

It was only because Dai Mubai was absent that the two of them dared dump all the blame on him.

Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened, and she remained silent.

A new girl every few days? Dai Mubai really knew how to live...

"Oscar, Ma Hongjun, I think Xiao Wu is right. You should focus on cultivation. Those things harm the body, so it would be better to do less of them."

Tang San pondered briefly before speaking.

Was Xiao Wu more important, or were Oscar and Ma Hongjun, whom he had just met, more important?

Did that even require thought?

Of course Xiao Wu was more important!

"Hmph, Third Brother isn't like you two. He can sit unmoved with a woman in his lap—he's the pure and chaste Young Master Tang San!"

Xiao Wu curled her lip as she spoke.

"Pure and chaste?"

"Sit unmoved with a woman in his lap?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun said one line each, then exchanged a glance.

"Pfft!" ×2

"Hahaha..."

"Pure and chaste Young Master Tang San!"

"Hahaha..."

The two clutched their stomachs and laughed until tears came out.

Only under the murderous gazes of Xiao Wu and Tang San did they finally stop laughing, though their twitching shoulders gave away just how hard they were holding it in.

"Sorry, Tang San, Xiao Wu."

"We've received professional training!"

"Under normal circumstances, we absolutely won't laugh!"

"Unless we can't hold it in!"

"Hahaha..."

The two started laughing again.

"Pure and chaste Young Master Tang San!"

"Unmoved-with-a-woman-in-his-lap Young Master Tang San!"

"Neuvillette avoids contact with unfamiliar girls and doesn't form personal friendships because he's a referee."

"But Tang San, you're just a eunuch..."

"Hahaha..."

Tang San's face darkened like charcoal. His fists clenched as he repeatedly told himself that these two guys were joking. Joking!

He couldn't get angry. He absolutely couldn't beat them up!

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years!"

"You two remember what happened today. One day, I, Tang San, will return it to you exactly as it was!"

Tang San's clenched fists slowly relaxed. For one brief moment, the way he looked at Ma Hongjun and Oscar was as though he were looking at corpses.

Why get angry while dealing with dead people?

Once he had the chance, he, Tang San, would definitely screw Ma Hongjun and Oscar over!

If he were not still too weak and unable to afford offending Flender and the others, he would have already taken out his hidden weapons and sent Ma Hongjun and Oscar on their way.

"Three Five Combination, please proceed to Arena Eight!"

"Three Five Combination, please proceed to Arena Eight!"

"Iron Blood Combination, please proceed to Arena Eight!"

"..."

Just then, the announcement rang out, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun finally stopped laughing.

Tang San ignored the two of them and was just about to say something when Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly. "Great, Third Brother, we really got assigned to Arena Eight!"

"That's wonderful! We can finally see Neuvillette again!"

The moment she said that, Tang San's face darkened once more!

The woman he loved kept mentioning another man's name in front of him. How could Tang San endure that?!

Yet he was unwilling to scold Xiao Wu, so he could only direct this resentment toward Neuvillette.

"Let's go. We should head up to the arena first."

"I wonder how strong this Iron Blood Combination is."

Tang San felt faintly uneasy. He had the feeling that something would go wrong in this two-person soul battle.

But Xiao Wu and he were both level twenty-nine Soul Grand Masters. They were practically invincible among Soul Grand Masters, so how could anything possibly go wrong?

With that thought, Tang San shook his head and cast aside his unease.

"Third Brother, hurry up!"

By the time Tang San came back to his senses, Xiao Wu had nearly run onto the arena!

"Uh..."

It seemed he had overthought it. There was no need to remind her at all; Xiao Wu had already run off on her own.

Tang San spread his hands helplessly, then strolled toward the arena at an unhurried pace.

"Fatty, the way Tang San looked at us just now didn't seem right. Did you feel that too?"

After Tang San left, Oscar dropped his smile and spoke with a grave expression.

He had not expected Tang San to be so incapable of taking a joke.

Xiao Wu had clearly started the trouble, but he and Ma Hongjun naturally felt awkward blaming Xiao Wu, so they turned the target toward Tang San. Yet just now, Tang San had looked as though he wanted to kill them.

As a "weakling," Oscar's senses were very sharp!

"Really? Maybe you sensed it wrong?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and said belatedly.

"I hope my senses were wrong."

Zhu Zhuqing merely watched, with no intention of integrating into the group at all.

Tang San thought he had hidden it well, but those involved could not see clearly while onlookers could.

Zhu Zhuqing had always been an observer. The killing intent that flashed through Tang San's eyes was far more terrifying than when her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, had hunted her down!

Come to think of it, it was quite strange. Zhu Zhuyun had brought so many people to hunt her, yet she had still managed to escape.

She could not even defeat Tang San, who was merely a Soul Grandmaster!

Among those who had hunted her were no shortage of Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors, yet she had escaped?

Wasn't her luck a little too good?

Unable to figure it out, Zhu Zhuqing gave up thinking about it and continued considering her path ahead.

Her original path had been to work hard alongside Dai Mubai and fight for a chance to survive, but that path might not work.

How could a wastrel like Dai Mubai turn back!

Besides, a person like him simply was not worth Zhu Zhuqing's support.

"But I have no chance to choose at all!"

That was right. If she did not stay with Dai Mubai, her own family and the Star Luo Royal Family would hunt her down!

This was not unprecedented. Women of the Zhu Family had tried to flee before, only to be pursued by both families until not even their bones remained.

"If only I had a choice!"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhuqing sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow...
