A Major Gossip Scene: You Have Courted Death!

"Xiao Wu, why didn't you listen to me?"

"Come on, hurry back with me!"

Tang San stepped forward, suppressing his anger as he rebuked her in a low voice.

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Xiao Wu's hand.

Having just learned what Spirit Hall had done in the past, and seeing Xiao Wu with Wei Feng, his movements were even a little rough.

Xiao Wu did not let Tang San have his way. She took two steps back and glared at him like a little tiger. "What did I do now?"

"What's with that tone?"

"Is it because I wasn't feeling well yesterday and didn't want to compete that you're still holding it against me?"

"Is that it? Do you find everything I do irritating now?"

"And what do you mean, I don't listen to you? Why should I listen to you about everything?!"

Xiao Wu fired back.

After that rapid barrage of words, Tang San had only managed to say his first two sentences and did not get the chance to say the rest.

At the gates of Shrek Academy, only Xiao Wu's fierce voice continued to ring out.

Elsewhere near the academy gates, many Shrek Academy students could not help looking over curiously.

The Shrek Seven Devils were already celebrities at their academy.

Everyone had long known about Tang San and Xiao Wu's relationship. The incident involving Tailong and his grandfather and father had caused quite a stir before.

It was impossible not to know them.

But now...

This loving couple was actually having a conflict? What juicy gossip!

Tang San's expression darkened.

He glanced at the people around them from the corner of his eye.

His icy gaze made everyone hoping to watch the show back away.

Taking a deep breath, he said earnestly, "Xiao Wu, that's not what I mean."

"Let's not talk here. Come back with me first!"

Xiao Wu had made up her mind to make Tang San suffer a setback.

Naturally, she had no intention of following him back pleasantly.

With the floodgates open, she continued firing back.

"Then what do you mean?"

"According to you, do I have to do whatever you want me to do?"

"If you want to go back, go back yourself. Why do you have to drag me along?"

"I used to call you Third Brother because I truly thought you would care for and protect me like an older brother."

"Now, I feel like you don't deserve it!!"

Xiao Wu was on a roll.

Watching Tang San's expression grow increasingly gloomy.

Comparing the Tang San from the Diary Instance with everything Tang San would do in the future.

She could not have felt more exhilarated.

Wei Feng was dumbfounded.

He had only intended to escort Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong back.

He had figured that if they ran into Tang San, at most Tang San would throw a few sarcastic remarks at him.

But he had never expected it.

On such a dull day.

He would actually witness Xiao Wu and Tang San arguing firsthand.

He had actually stumbled into some live gossip.

Heh, was today really this interesting?

On such a boring day, I actually got to witness Xiao Wu and Tang San fighting!

Does this count as enjoying some gossip? If it does, then this gossip is really sweet!

So that was why Xiao Wu and Tang San seemed to be at odds during the Soul Master Competition yesterday. It turns out Xiao Wu wasn't feeling well.

Come to think of it, Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form. Do soul beasts get that every month too?

The Xiao Wu now seems quite different in personality from the Xiao Wu I remember!

???

Xiao Wu: "..."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

Wei Feng, don't be ridiculous! The other women with Diary Instances saw the newly updated content.

One by one, they all more or less understood what he meant.

That thing every month—what else could it be?

But...

Seeing what Wei Feng had written in the Diary.

The Women could not help becoming curious as they stared at that line.

Did soul beasts really have that too?

Strange curiosity and strange knowledge suddenly filled the women's minds.

Although her personality is a little different, what I read back then was a novel after all. It couldn't possibly have described every day and every second in such detail.

One year of guarding, three years of pain, five years apart, seven years of itchiness, ten years of promise... Xiao Wu and Tang San have known each other for nearly ten years, so they should be in the seven-year itch stage now.

Mm, that must be it. In that case, today's argument is perfectly reasonable. And this works out well for me—it perfectly satisfies my burning soul for gossip!

Luckily, it was Xiao Wu who was arguing with Tang San. If it had been someone else, Tang San would probably have already declared, "You have courted death!"

Then watching some gossip would end in bloodshed. That would be truly boring!

You have courted death? What did that mean? The Women were thoroughly confused, and Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were equally puzzled.

They often saw words and phrases in the Diary Instance that they could not quite understand.

But every time they encountered something unclear, as the diary continued, they would eventually come to understand.

But this time...

Why did it feel like Tang San was becoming more and more unbearable?

Did those words mean Tang San had done something else outrageous?

Come to think of it, "You have courted death" is one of our great protagonist Tang San's famous lines! There were even plenty of memes about it in my previous life. (You have courted death.JPG)

Let me think. When did Tang San start saying this famous line? Right, I think it was when he first went to Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Mm, I seem to remember the original story describing it this way: Old Jack was insulted by the gatekeeper, Tang San beat the gatekeeper back, and in his heart, he had already sentenced the gatekeeper to death.

Heh, he was only a six-year-old child. Having an adult soul really does make him something else. Although the gatekeeper had the face of a petty villain, what our great protagonist did was still quite something!

Teaching him a lesson would have been enough. Just because the gatekeeper had laid hands on Old Jack and was mean-spirited—although I would teach someone like that a lesson too—I still probably couldn't go as far as our great protagonist and directly sentence him to death!

Right, Tang San seemed to have already developed the Silent Sleeve Arrow back then. I remember he had planned to act against Yu Xiaogang because he had that thing. It was Yu Xiaogang's appearance that spared the gatekeeper's life.

Looking at it that way, this was one of the few good deeds Yu Xiaogang ever did. Truly precious!

Sure enough, I'm not cut out to be a protagonist. My heart just isn't hard enough!

Speaking of Tang San's iconic scene, with Tang San's personality, a certain line from a TV drama I watched in my previous life seems especially fitting.

Let me think, how did that line go? My rules are the rules!

There would be absolutely nothing out of place if those words were applied to Tang San. My, Tang San's rules are the rules!
