Selfish Shrek, Akaza Makes His Move

Continuing from the previous chapter:

Thinking of this, a sad expression appeared on Xiao Wu's delicate face.

At this moment, it seemed that all means of rebuttal had lost their meaning.

After all, it's an undeniable fact that Tang San didn't take her with him when he left, leaving her to face Wu Tong alone.

"Speechless now? Then just tell me the truth."

Seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant expression, Wu Tong chuckled.

That's the expression I want to see most.

This painting conveys a sense of desolation, as if everything has lost its meaning.

That was really... awesome!

You two used to always be showing off your love in front of me.

"... Impossible. I believe in Third Brother. He must have his reasons."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu came to her senses. Although she still felt a little bitter, she still didn't give in.

It seems that in the end she still chose to believe Tang San, after all, the feelings she had for him over the past six years were something she simply couldn't let go of.

Hearing this, not only Wu Tong was speechless, but everyone else who heard it was also speechless. The facts were right in front of them, yet they still refused to believe it.

How could there be such stupid people in this world... no, Spirit Beast?

Is this what they call love?

This self-deceptive behavior feels more like a mental illness than love.

As expected, he truly deserves to be one of the most famous love-obsessed individuals in the Douluo World.

"Oh well, let's just get to the point. We won't get any information out of them anyway, so let's not waste everyone's time, okay? I'm very busy too."

Mobius, standing to the side, didn't look over, but stared intently at Akaza, his tone full of impatience.

Clearly, Mobius was eager to study this Perfect World experimental subject, as described by Wu Tong, more thoroughly.

"Alright, since she doesn't want to trade Tang San's life for her own chance to live, let's just get rid of her. After all, a Transformed Spirit Beast is just Spirit Beast after all. If it's not of our kind, its heart will surely be different."

Wu Tong did not refuse Mobius's suggestion; now he looked at Xiao Wu as if she were an idiot.

To be honest, seeing Xiao Wu so love-struck, Wu Tong was too lazy to keep talking to her. It made him feel like he was wasting his breath.

Hearing what the two said, the Snake Granny and her grandson, along with Shrek and his group, not only did not stop Wu Tong, but breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wu Tong was about to get what he wanted, they should be able to leave this place soon as well.

Meanwhile, Mobius, upon hearing Wu Tong's words, carefully examined Xiao Wu with his emerald green snake eyes, lightly touched his lips with his index finger, and revealed a sickly-sweet expression, saying:

"Great, at least we don't have to waste any more time here. But could we not kill her yet? Transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast seem to be quite rare. Living lab Xiao Bai are more effective than dead ones."

"It doesn't matter, you decide what to do. Whether she lives or dies is completely irrelevant."

Wu Tong agreed to Mobius's request without hesitation.

Subsequently, not wanting to waste any more time, Wu Tong and his group decided on Xiao Wu's future in just a few words.

As for Xiao Wu's thoughts?

That's not important. Besides, under the watchful eyes of Titled Douluo, she wouldn't dare to have any thoughts. After all, she chose this path herself, didn't she?

Immediately afterwards, Wu Tong and his group bypassed Xiao Wu's location and turned their attention to the Shrek personnel standing nearby.

Seeing the looks in Wu Tong's eyes, Zhao Wuji and the others instantly began to panic.

"Mister Wu Tong, is there anything else you need?"

Wu Tong snorted coldly, "Don't worry, this is none of your business. After leaving Akaza, Nami, and Xiao Wu, you can leave. Otherwise, you can try to resist; perhaps you can succeed?"

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Zhao Wuji and the others immediately fell silent. In the end, they were just a bunch of selfish people; how could they possibly risk their own lives for the safety of others?

In the original novel, Zhao Wuji risked his life to save people, but it was out of necessity. After all, there were too many students with powerful backgrounds in the team. If he died in the Star Dou Great Forest, even if he returned alive, he would be hunted down by various forces.

After all, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect leader, the third young lady of the Star Luo Zhu Family, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the son of Clear Sky Douluo all died here. If he goes back alone, he will definitely be suspected by those forces, and may even be hunted down by various forces with the idea of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free".

Therefore, as a last resort, Zhao Wuji had no choice but to risk his life to save people.

But things are different now. Xiao Wu, Nami, and Akaza don't have any powerful backgrounds; they're just ordinary people.

Although they were geniuses, that reason alone was not enough to make Zhao Wuji risk his life against Wu Tong for the sake of these three.

Ultimately, a dead genius is no longer a genius, but a corpse.

Therefore, for the sake of their own lives, Zhao Wuji and the others pretended not to hear Wu Tong's words, and remained silent, not even trying to defend the three of them.

Seeing this, Wu Tong simply clicked his tongue and ignored the group. After all, Wu Tong didn't take a group of people who could abandon their companions at any time seriously.

"Huh? Me?"

Upon hearing her name, Nami was taken aback, then completely bewildered.

What's going on? Mister Wu Tong, why did he ask me to stay?

Could it be that he has a crush on me?

Thinking of this, and looking at the handsome and dashing young man in front of her, Nami couldn't help but blush.

"Mister Wu Tong, what are you planning to do with Nami by keeping her here?"

After hearing Wu Tong's words clearly, Zhu Zhuqing stepped out of the Shrek crowd to protect her newly made friend.

However, Wu Tong only glanced at her and then ignored Zhu Zhuqing.

Instead, he looked at the figures of Nami, Akaza, and Xiao Wu and said:

"That's right, it's the three of you: one love-struck Transformed Spirit Beast, and two Illegal Transmigrators from Otherworld."

Before the others could even process the meaning behind Wu Tong's words, Wu Tong had barely finished speaking.

A dark figure suddenly burst out from the Shrek Seven Devils' group, instantly transforming from stillness to motion, moving with lightning speed, leaving afterimages in the air, and charging towards Wu Tong with Thunderous Might force.

That violent killing intent left no doubt that the dark figure intended to kill Wu Tong.
