Luo Chen looked at Xiao Wu's slightly shy, rosy face and gently nodded at Tang San. "Sure. Make sure you take good care of Xiao Wu along the way..."
Tang San actually thought Xiao Wu was being shy around him. He glanced at her, somewhat pleased, and said generously, "Don't worry, Chen Ge. Xiao Wu is my only little sister."
Luo Chen said nothing more and set off with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Although Tang San and Xiao Wu walked ahead like a couple while he trailed behind, making him seem rather lonely.
However, how could a fish know another fish's joy? Luo Chen knew that Xiao Wu had not stayed in the dormitory yesterday either. She had been in the same place as Su Han, helping him gain experience points. That was why she was a little sleep-deprived now and blushed slightly whenever she saw him.
Of course, aside from gaining experience points as part of their daily routine, they had not crossed the line. After all, Luo Chen did not want a little rabbit so early on.
Easily stealing away a girl another person had loved for years was also part of the joy of being a male god.
Seeing Tang San's blissful, self-satisfied expression now was endlessly entertaining.
Luo Chen knew Xiao Wu had not really been stolen away by him. He had merely made her fall for him first, so the process had been relatively easy. Later, when he attracted Zhu Zhuqing and made that aloof beauty slowly destroy her childhood sweetheart, Dai Mubai, he would truly experience that kind of pleasure.
At the school gates, Luo Chen saw Grandmaster, the bearded man in old cloth shoes.
"Get in. I've prepared everything for you. Suotuo City in the Barak Kingdom is seven days away even by the fastest carriage. You three children must be careful along the way. Take the examination for that academy according to my requirements. You go first; I'll come see you after a while."
Grandmaster looked at Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Luo Chen with a stern expression.
Tang San nodded. "Don't worry, Teacher. We've all grown up. We're strong enough to protect ourselves now."
After the three got into the carriage, Luo Chen also put on a show and waved to Grandmaster. "Goodbye, Grandmaster."
Over the past five years, foolish Tang San had treated Luo Chen as a brother and had personally asked Grandmaster to guide him, so Luo Chen and Grandmaster could be considered acquainted.
After spending time with him, Luo Chen still did not like Grandmaster much. Whenever Grandmaster instructed him, he acted all high and mighty and even dared to punish him by making him run.
If Luo Chen had not still wanted to enter Shrek to meet Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he would have punched Grandmaster to his knees and made him call him Daddy long ago.
Of course, for the mission, that would have to wait. Luo Chen thought that after stealing Grandmaster's woman, Liu Erlong, he would properly torment him, then have Liu Erlong slowly kill him.
Once they were in the carriage, there was not much to do during the seven-day journey. Luo Chen carried a Storage Soul Guidance Device similar to Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, and he had bought one for Xiao Wu as well. Both Soul Guidance Devices were stocked with dry rations and water.
They ate when they were hungry and slept when they were tired.
After making sure Tang San had fallen asleep, Luo Chen would secretly hold Xiao Wu's hand and enjoy a little romance. Xiao Wu had long grown accustomed to this subtle arrangement. After all, Tang San had been cuckolded for more than five whole years already.
Xiao Wu even seemed to have grown fond of that subtle feeling. Whenever Tang San was asleep, her two snow-white slender legs would gently brush against Luo Chen's body. This little rabbit seemed somewhat flirtatious.
Seven days and seven nights later, the three arrived in Suotuo City.
After getting off the carriage, they walked together. However, that pretentious Tang San still deliberately stayed close to Xiao Wu, making it look as though he and Xiao Wu were a couple.
Five years later, Xiao Wu had truly become a beautiful young girl. She was even slightly taller than Tang San, dressed in a pink gauze outfit and wearing adorable little braids. Her long black hair was soft and silky, and she even wore cute rabbit ears on her head.
Compared to five years ago, Xiao Wu was no longer merely cute and lively. Her figure was incredible too. Those long legs were fair and slender, her calves wrapped in white stockings that made them even more captivating, while her thighs were partly exposed. Combined with her rabbit martial soul and the flexibility techniques she practiced, every step she took was enough to make people's hearts itch.
Her slender waist and buttocks were already close to those of a grown woman. Her face was playful, but her body was alluring. In a few more years, this girl would truly be something else.
Xiao Wu really was beautiful. Even the early anime version had not truly done her justice. As she walked down the street, she drew plenty of male attention, but most people took Luo Chen to be Xiao Wu's partner.
Tang San's outfit and hairstyle were simply too ordinary, even painfully mediocre. Walking beside Xiao Wu, he was practically invisible.
Luo Chen's wicked charm and handsome looks suited Xiao Wu's partner far better. Naturally, Tang San did not think so. At the moment, he still thought his appearance was incredibly impressive.
Xiao Wu looked around and suddenly said, "The examination isn't until the day after tomorrow. Let's find somewhere to stay."
Tang San nodded. "Sure, Xiao Wu. Thank you for being willing to come with me to take the examination for this academy. Actually, Chen Ge, you could have chosen a better academy."
Luo Chen smiled. "As for Xiao Wu, of course she came because of you. As for me, since I also studied with Grandmaster for a while, I trust his judgment. He'll definitely make me stronger."
"Mm, Teacher's choice can't be wrong. This academy must have something powerful about it." Tang San nodded and glanced at Xiao Wu. He truly believed she had come for him, and he became happy again.
"Let's stay here. Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Xiao Wu was suddenly drawn to a beautiful three-story hotel and looked at Luo Chen.
After Xiao Wu became Tang San's little sister, Luo Chen had told her not to call him "Ge" so often in front of Tang San. Calling him by name would be enough.
Luo Chen looked over and saw four words written on the sign: Rose Hotel.
Damn, what a coincidence...
Tang San glanced at the name and seemed rather pleased. He hurriedly said to Xiao Wu, "Sure. This hotel looks pretty good. As long as you want to stay here, we'll stay here."
Xiao Wu nodded happily. "Mm, San Ge, Xiao Chen, let's go in."
Luo Chen thought to himself that it was actually the Rose Hotel again. It seemed that although his arrival had changed some of the original plot and timing, the rules of this world would still guide Tang San and Xiao Wu toward the correct time and events.
That was normal. After all, this was a world Tang San had originally experienced. He had already created a new history for this world, but that history had not been acknowledged by the Divine Hall. Luo Chen's arrival was like implanting a virus into the world again, rewriting history once more. This unseen fortune was also the system automatically correcting certain errors. There was nothing strange about it.
Then, if nothing unexpected happened, Luo Chen thought, they should encounter Dai Mubai next.
After the three entered, Tang San walked up to the counter and said, "Please give us two rooms."
Luo Chen suddenly felt something was off. Shouldn't there be three rooms now that he was here? Had this guy been provoked by his arrival and started having other thoughts this early?
Xiao Wu also became slightly nervous and secretly glanced at Luo Chen.
The attendant behind the counter looked at the three of them and asked strangely, "Are you sure you want two rooms?"
"Th-this... then three rooms. I misspoke just now. I forgot that we're grown up now and can't be like before." Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, thinking the attendant was reminding him of that, and began acting pretentious again.
The attendant said awkwardly, "That's even more impossible. We only have one room left. What do you want to do?"
"Only one room left?" Tang San could not help feeling disappointed.
Xiao Wu blinked and suddenly said, "It's fine. Didn't we all share a dorm room back at school? What's the big deal?"
That was right. If she had to share a room with only Tang San, Xiao Wu would have found it difficult. But with Luo Chen there, she felt at ease. She had even been hoping to tease Luo Chen, this handsome playboy, a little.
"Fine, it's no problem. I can sleep on the floor when the time comes. Please give us that room." Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and put on the air of a proper gentleman.
"Alright..." The attendant nodded and was just about to process it when a male voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait..."
Luo Chen turned around and saw that it was indeed Dai Mubai. He looked more or less as described in the original work: around one meter eighty tall, with disgusting yellow hair, blue eyes, and clothes somewhat resembling European styles from Earth. He was indeed somewhat handsome and carried an aristocratic air.
Still, he looked pretentious too, with a somewhat frivolous gaze. The two young women hanging from his arms also made Luo Chen's eyes light up.
Those two girls were actually twins. They were blonde and blue-eyed as well, tall and shapely. Not bad. They looked much like blonde women from Earth.
Luo Chen could not help thinking that those two girls probably had not been touched by that guy yet. Later, when Dai Mubai and Tang San fought each other, he could snatch those twin girls away and occasionally leave them here in Suotuo City to gain experience points, just like Su Han.
Besides the original female leads and supporting female characters, Luo Chen naturally wanted more. For example, the receptionist at the Great Spirit Arena and that host, Dou Dou. He wondered whether they were as pretty as they were in the anime.
Dai Mubai walked over and, just as in the original work, revealed his identity as Young Master Dai and demanded to take that room for himself.
Only this time, Xiao Wu did not step forward first. Tang San alone arrogantly said, "We were here first. Why should we give it to you? Don't think we're easy to bully."
Dai Mubai gave Tang San a cold look. "Very well. Then fight me. The three of you can come at me together. If you can beat me, the room is yours. Otherwise, get the hell out."
The hotel manager who had come out was about to stop them when Dai Mubai said domineeringly, "Enough nonsense. I'll cover all the damages."
Luo Chen pretended to step forward, but Tang San stopped him. "Let me handle it. Keep an eye on Xiao Wu. This guy looks like he's above level thirty. Even if I really lose, I can't let you two be humiliated."
"Then... alright. Tang San, be careful." Luo Chen nodded and retreated to Xiao Wu's side. Naturally, he did not want to fight. Tang San and Dai Mubai beating each other up was practically a dogfight. How could he miss such a wonderful show?
Of course, with Luo Chen present, this show would not end as it had in the original work.
During these five years at the academy, Luo Chen had deliberately concealed his strength. In terms of level advancement, he had intentionally stayed one level behind Tang San.
Tang San was level twenty-nine, while Luo Chen was level twenty-eight. As for his other trump cards, Luo Chen had shown nothing besides Lightning Release and a few simple ninjutsu. Tang San knew even less about the Sharingan's abilities.
Five years later, Tang San already believed that his true strength completely surpassed Luo Chen's. That was naturally Luo Chen's goal. It was more fun to scheme against people from the shadows. If he showed himself to be far stronger than Tang San, how could he let this guy act pretentious and get beaten up?
Next, Tang San and Dai Mubai began fighting. This part was roughly the same as in the original work.
Tang San first used Xuan Yu Hand and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, fighting Dai Mubai to a standstill.
Dai Mubai then used White Tiger Avatar. Tang San also released Blue Silver Grass and activated his First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement.
Dai Mubai used White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Light Wave, easily breaking free of Blue Silver Grass's restraints and wrecking the hotel into a complete mess.
Tang San used his Second Soul Skill, vines, Parasite, and released Blue Silver Grass's poison.
Dai Mubai was forced to use his Thousand Year Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
After using White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai did indeed grow taller. His entire body was covered in white light, and his muscles became exaggerated. This looked uglier than in the anime; he looked completely like a wild man.
The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Dai Mubai was immediately shattered into dust. Tang San was startled. Next, just as in the original work, Dai Mubai seemed to intend to spare Tang San and began offering him praise.
Tang San also sensed Dai Mubai's hostility weakening and lowered his guard.
Luo Chen looked at Dai Mubai, and one of his eyes instantly turned into the red Three Tomoe Sharingan.
"You're still no match for me, but you're quite strong."
Luo Chen stood behind Tang San. Dai Mubai had just been about to withdraw his soul skill when his wandering gaze suddenly met Luo Chen's eyes.
The Three Tomoe Sharingan could already cast powerful genjutsu. Although it was far inferior to Tsukuyomi, controlling someone with no resistance to ocular techniques for a short time was effortless.
Of course, the most important requirement for the Three Tomoe Sharingan's genjutsu was making the other person see your eyes. With the Mangekyo, however, there were ways to drag someone into the world of Tsukuyomi even if they did not look into your eyes.
Luo Chen was already incomparably familiar with using the Sharingan. In an instant, he put Dai Mubai under genjutsu, then in the next second made Dai Mubai leave his line of sight without leaving any flaw.
Before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, he suddenly rushed in front of Tang San and fiercely slapped him across the face.
That slap was not fatal, but Dai Mubai's strength after White Tiger Vajra Transformation was no joke.
Tang San, who had lowered his guard, was immediately sent stumbling back several steps. His face swelled up, a streak of blood ran from his nose, and he nearly fell to the ground.
Luo Chen immediately dispelled the genjutsu. The entire process had taken less than two seconds. After recovering, Dai Mubai did not even know when he had been caught in the technique. He looked at his hand, then instinctively looked at Tang San before him.
"I just..."
Before Dai Mubai could finish, the enraged Tang San immediately pulled out the hidden Sleeve Arrow from his waist, aimed it at Dai Mubai, and said furiously, "You're courting death..."
