Tang San looked thoroughly disheveled. Half his face was red and swollen, blood was still trickling from his nose, and his eyes brimmed with fury and killing intent. The Sleeve Arrow in his hand was already cocked, and his fingers rested on the trigger.

As a transmigrator and a Tang Sect expert, Tang San had been viciously slapped in front of the girl he liked. He felt utterly humiliated, and his reason was nearly impossible to suppress.

Yet Dai Mubai did not take the hidden weapon in Tang San's hand seriously. He had originally intended to ask Tang San what exactly he had done and then apologize.

But seeing Tang San's murderous, confrontational stance...

Dai Mubai, a Star Luo Prince, also lost his patience. He said blandly, "I truly don't know what happened just now. I didn't mean to hurt you, so put that thing away. With that scrap metal, you can't threaten me."

"Is that so? You'll know once you try." Tang San gently turned the mechanism of the Silent Sleeve Arrow, seemingly truly preparing to fire it.

Luo Chen's heart immediately skipped a beat. Dai Mubai naturally had no idea how powerful Tang San's Sleeve Arrow was. Tang San would never tell Luo Chen the secrets of his hidden weapons, but he would tell Xiao Wu everything. He had even given Xiao Wu several Sleeve Arrows for protection.

And Xiao Wu would tell Luo Chen all of Tang San's secrets. Luo Chen knew that Tang San's current Sleeve Arrow was powerful enough to threaten a Soul Elder. If Tang San really killed Dai Mubai, it would affect his plans.

In his plan, Dai Mubai was supposed to be slowly killed by Zhu Zhuqing. Only then could he experience the most extreme pain.

Luo Chen saw that Dai Mubai no longer wanted to fight. The effects of his White Tiger Vajra Transformation were beginning to fade, and he was returning to his previous form. In that case, he might not be able to withstand Tang San's upgraded Sleeve Arrow.

"Xiao San, stop! Are you okay?" Luo Chen immediately used the speed of Flying Thunder God to arrive beside Tang San.

Almost instantly, Luo Chen appeared at Tang San's side. Tang San's hand, which had been about to press the trigger, immediately stopped, though he still gripped the Sleeve Arrow's mechanism tightly. He said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Don't worry. That guy took advantage of the moment I lowered my guard to sneak attack me. Since that's the case, I don't need to show him mercy."

Tang San's eyes were still filled with killing intent, as if he intended to fight Dai Mubai to the death.

Luo Chen immediately pressed down Tang San's hand and looked at him seriously. "Xiao San, I don't think he did it on purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't be letting you point that Sleeve Arrow at him right now. I know your hidden weapons are powerful, but this is Suotuo City. There are soldiers outside. If you really kill him, we won't be able to leave either..."

Luo Chen spoke kindly, but he was nearly laughing inside. Of course, he knew Tang San felt awful right now. He had been viciously slapped in front of the girl he liked. Forget Tang San—even a coward would explode at a time like this.

But as Tang San's "good brother," Luo Chen still had to persuade him. It was not like he was the one who had been hit. Watching Tang San look aggrieved yet helpless was even more enjoyable.

"No need to explain. I did accidentally hit you just now. If you truly can't swallow this, then come at me. I don't believe that pile of scrap metal can kill me." Dai Mubai still looked frivolous. This guy really deserved a beating.

"You dare call my hidden weapon scrap metal? Fine..." Enraged, Tang San prepared to press the trigger again.

Luo Chen pressed down Tang San's fingers once more and looked at him with an expression of deep brotherly affection. "Tang San, don't be rash. We just arrived in Suotuo City and have no power or backing here. If something really happens to you, how will Xiao Wu and I explain it to Grandmaster? He only slapped you once, didn't he? I'll vent this anger for you..."

"Xiao Chen, you..." Tang San raised his red, swollen face and looked at Luo Chen's resolute expression, seeming genuinely moved.

"San Ge, are you okay..." Xiao Wu was naturally not foolish. After pretending to be Tang San's little sister for five years, she immediately came to his side and looked at him with concern.

Only after seeing Xiao Wu did the killing intent in Tang San's eyes lessen somewhat. He lowered his hand from the hidden weapon, but still felt humiliated and lowered his head awkwardly.

"How dare you hit my brother? Watch me slap you senseless..."

Luo Chen righteously stepped forward and instantly arrived before Dai Mubai.

"What... you..." Dai Mubai was shocked by Luo Chen's speed. He immediately retreated several steps and activated the White Tiger Protective Barrier.

"Hehe, this trash is worthy of being called a protective barrier..."

Lightning immediately gathered in Luo Chen's hand and instantly sliced through Dai Mubai's White Tiger Protective Barrier. What he used was not Chidori, merely an ordinary Lightning Slash.

Lightning Slash itself was not especially powerful, but in Luo Chen's incredibly fast hands, it could unleash astonishing destructive force. As the Luo God, even after hiding more than half his ninjutsu and Golden Finger from Tang San, he was still terrifyingly powerful.

Luo Chen had been about to evade Dai Mubai's next attack. Based on his experience, Dai Mubai should have used White Tiger Light Wave again, but unexpectedly, this guy did not move.

Damn... in that case...

The lightning in Luo Chen's hand also subsided somewhat. The next moment, he viciously slapped Dai Mubai across the face.

Slap...

Dai Mubai was sent flying on the spot and crashed into a cabinet in the hotel. His yellow hair was a mess, and his clothes had already become tattered when he used his Thousand Year Soul Skill. Several seconds later, he finally climbed back to his feet in a sorry state.

Luo Chen saw that Dai Mubai's face had also swollen up. He had completely lost his former handsome and noble appearance, and his expression no longer seemed to contain the slightest desire to fight.

"Was he deliberately taking that slap?"

Luo Chen looked at Dai Mubai and suddenly discovered something extremely amusing. This guy had actually...

Actually been moved by the brotherly devotion Luo Chen had displayed for Tang San...

No, no...

Luo Chen hurriedly pretended to cough and covered his mouth. He truly could not hold back his laughter any longer. He was practically dying of laughter inside.

He had first used the Sharingan to control Dai Mubai and make him slap Tang San viciously. Then he pretended to stand up for Tang San. Dai Mubai had actually been moved by his loyalty in standing up for his brother, stayed still, and received another slap from him for free.

Killing two birds with one stone—he had slapped both Tang San and Dai Mubai, gotten in two slaps, and still earned a reputation for brotherly loyalty. He had moved foolish Tang San and even moved Dai Mubai. It felt amazing...

As expected, I, the Luo God, am smart. How lonely it is to be invincible...

When Luo Chen raised his head again, his expression had already returned to normal. He gave a light cough, then looked coldly at Dai Mubai and said, "What do you mean by this? You clearly had the ability to continue fighting me just now. Why did you stand there and take that slap?"

Dai Mubai gave Luo Chen a cold glance, then looked at Tang San behind him. "I don't know what happened just now either. I suddenly hit you. Perhaps it was a side effect of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation. I, Dai Mubai, owe no one anything. That slap your brother gave me counts as repayment. Now we're even."

After saying that, Dai Mubai began straightening his clothes. Seeing him in such a miserable state, the pair of twin girls did not help him, merely watched from the side.

Luo Chen lowered his head again, suppressing the urge to laugh. The next moment, he immediately went to Tang San with a worried expression. "Xiao San, how are you? Should we let him go?"

Tang San's expression did indeed look much better now. Xiao Wu stood beside him, and she seemed to have figured something out. Seeing Luo Chen's current expression, she lightly covered her mouth and smiled.

Tang San, however, placed one hand heavily on Luo Chen's shoulder and said earnestly, "I'm fine now. Thank you, Xiao Chen. You knew he had the Thousand Year Soul Skill White Tiger Vajra Transformation, yet you were still willing to take the risk and vent my anger for me. Having a brother like you in this life is my blessing. From now on, if my brother ever needs anything, no matter how difficult, Tang San will be there."

Luo Chen hurriedly removed Tang San's hand and nodded seriously. "We've known each other for so many years. I even entrusted my little sister to you, so why are you being polite with me? Tang San, it's enough that you're okay."

Tang San nodded deeply, then glanced at Dai Mubai again. "Now that I think about it, he truly didn't do it intentionally. Maybe, just as he said, it really was a side effect after using that Thousand Year Soul Skill. Since you've already vented my anger for me, let it go."

Dai Mubai had also finished tidying himself up. He walked to the hotel entrance and said generously, "Congratulations, you won. I've given that room to you. I think we'll meet again soon. If you run into trouble at Shrek Academy, you can use the name Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai."

"Eh, how does he know we're going to Shrek Academy?" Just like in the original story, Xiao Wu asked the question.

Dai Mubai stopped and said, "You three should all be Great Soul Masters, right? You're no older than twelve, and you appeared in Suotuo City at this time. If you aren't heading to Shrek Academy, where else could you be going? All right, until we meet again."

"He's from Shrek Academy too?" Tang San pondered inwardly as he touched his still slightly red and swollen face.

"Without that slap, perhaps we really could have become friends. Even my Blue Silver Grass Poison couldn't do anything to his Thousand Year Soul Skill. If he had truly maintained his transformed state and fought us, Xiao Chen and I together would not have been his match. Thousand Year Soul Skills really are powerful."

Luo Chen could not help sneering inwardly. If you're trash, just say you're trash. Why drag your father into it?

Luo Chen's true combat strength now allowed him to instantly kill Soul Elders in their thirties as easily as beating dogs. With the Nine Yang Divine Skill constantly restoring his Soul Power, Soul Power levels did not seriously limit him as long as he did not use extremely powerful ninjutsu. He did not take any opponent below Soul King seriously.

But outwardly, Luo Chen comforted him. "You only took the risk of betting against him because you wanted to help Xiao Wu and me secure this room. We should have fought together from the beginning. I'll have Xiao Wu buy you some herbs. That should help you recover faster."

After having the waiter prepare the room, Luo Chen sent Xiao Wu out to buy medicine. As for the rest, just like in the original story, the manager fawned over them endlessly. Dai Mubai bore all the expenses for the hotel damage, and their room fees for the next few days were waived.

When they entered the hotel room, they found it was a very large suite.

There were roses everywhere, and there was even a heart made of roses in the living room. This was a damned couple's suite.

With Xiao Wu gone, walking around here with Tang San made Luo Chen feel truly awkward. He hurriedly found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Before long, Xiao Wu returned with the medicine. Seeing the fragrance of roses everywhere in the living room, this little rabbit seemed very excited. Her long, fair legs swayed as she wandered around the room.

When she saw Luo Chen, Xiao Wu happily hopped over and said, "Chen Ge, this place is so nice. Xiao Wu wants to..."

But Luo Chen's Sharingan immediately detected Tang San coming out of the bedroom. He instantly gave Xiao Wu a hand signal, their secret code.

Xiao Wu immediately stopped and turned around. Sure enough, she saw Tang San's swollen-faced self coming out of the bedroom behind them.

"San Ge, this is the medicine I bought for you."

Xiao Wu smiled and handed the medicine to Tang San.

Yet Tang San shamelessly said, "Xiao Wu, help me apply it. It should be better by tomorrow."

"Uh... okay, San Ge." Xiao Wu was somewhat reluctant. She looked at Luo Chen, but still agreed.

There was nothing wrong with applying medicine to Tang San's face, and Luo Chen was watching right beside them.

That night, Tang San put on the guise of a gentleman again and said to Xiao Wu and Luo Chen, "There's only one bed in the bedroom, so let Xiao Wu sleep there. I'll sleep on the floor. As long as there are blankets, it's fine. Xiao Chen can sleep on the sofa."

After thinking about it, Luo Chen said, "Tang San, how about you sleep on the sofa? Your face still needs time to recover..."

Luo Chen had only said it casually. After all, he was used to putting on an act. He did not expect Tang San to agree. Tang San nodded with some embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Xiao Chen. Then I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. Tomorrow night, I'll definitely give it to you."

"..."

Although Luo Chen somewhat regretted saying it, he could only agree. Xiao Wu looked at him, covered her mouth, and smiled softly. Who knew what this little rabbit was thinking.

At night, Xiao Wu made tea for both Luo Chen and Tang San. She had bought the tea outside as well. After drinking it, Tang San cultivated on the sofa, but Luo Chen noticed that Tang San seemed to have fallen asleep not long afterward.

Luo Chen lay on the living room floor. Naturally, he did not want to sleep, and he could not be bothered cultivating either. He needed to find goddesses to gain experience points, but where were the goddesses now...

Luo Chen suddenly remembered the twin sisters he had forgotten. However, since they had not left with Dai Mubai, they should be staying nearby. He would probably meet them again in the future...

As he was thinking, Luo Chen suddenly realized that Tang San, who was asleep on the sofa, had begun snoring.

"Why did this bastard fall asleep so quickly today? And he's even keeping your father awake." Luo Chen immediately activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan. After examining him with the Sharingan, he finally confirmed that Tang San was truly out cold.

Could it be...

The lights in the living room cast a rosy glow. Luo Chen withdrew his gaze and happened to see Xiao Wu walking out of the bedroom in a sexy pink outfit, her legs snowy white and slender.

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears looked adorable. Then her eyes lightly blinked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen instantly felt his head grow dizzy, as if he were about to faint. No, this is Charm.

This little rabbit had actually used her Soul Skill Charm on him...

Feeling a soft little hand touch his face, Luo Chen's eyes immediately turned blood-red, and the Three Tomoe began spinning.

Luo Chen immediately grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, pulled this little rabbit into his arms, and stroked her hair. "You little rabbit, you actually dared to use Charm on me? You might as well give me some real charm..."

"..." Xiao Wu's red lips parted, and she suddenly made a pleasant sound—the exact sound she had made when Luo Chen had previously electrocuted her with Lightning Release. Luo Chen immediately shuddered all over. That sound was just too much, and far too familiar.

But the next moment, Luo Chen suddenly realized that he was not electrocuting this little rabbit right now. He was merely holding her gently...

Damn, this little rabbit makes sounds even without being electrocuted...

Luo Chen immediately covered Xiao Wu's little mouth. Her eyes blinked again, and only now did Luo Chen realize that Xiao Wu truly was a little seductress. He had never noticed how flirtatious she was while watching the anime...

Luo Chen hurriedly said, "Don't wake Tang San. Why is he sleeping so deeply today..."

Xiao Wu removed Luo Chen's hand and murmured, "I bought Sleeping Pills. I put lots of them in his tea. He probably won't wake up tonight."

"You're this naughty..." Luo Chen pinched Xiao Wu's cheek and glanced at Tang San again. The Sharingan could not be wrong. It seemed Tang San really was dead asleep. He had no immunity to poison yet. Although he could identify poisons, he could not identify Sleeping Pills.
