Wen Xuan no longer had the slightest interest in Xiao Wu's fair, pink outskirts. He had already entered Sage Mode.

"Hmph, hmph..."

"You toss me aside after using me. Sure enough, once men get what they want, they don't know how to cherish it. You won't even help Sister Xiao Wu get dressed."

Xiao Wu's tone was full of resentment. She knew Wen Xuan's fingers were merely numb, but her legs had gone completely numb.

After all, she had been holding up her delicate feet in the bathroom the entire time. If her body had not been so flexible, she would have been unable to hold on long ago.

"Alright, alright, I'll do it."

Xiao Wu was his woman, after all. Wen Xuan shook out his numb hands and quickly walked over to her, crouching down to help her put on each item one by one.

Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Wu's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.

Only after the Pink Princess Shoes had been put on did Wen Xuan stand up.

As Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan walked out of the dormitory arm in arm, they ran into Tang San, who had just finished taking a master and registering.

Wen Xuan recognized Tang San at a glance. A buzzed-cut old man paired with a dark-skinned, patched-up poor kid—anyone who had read Douluo Continent would find it hard not to recognize them.

Tang San also noticed the girl holding Wen Xuan's arm.

This girl is so adorable... But... why do I feel an inexplicable sense of closeness toward her?

The moment Tang San saw Xiao Wu, he felt as though she belonged to him.

Sensing an undisguised, burning gaze, Xiao Wu followed the feeling and looked over.

Her eyes met Tang San's. The next second—

"Blackie, what are you looking at? Look again, and Sister Xiao Wu will smash your dog head." Xiao Wu had never had a good temper toward men other than Wen Xuan.

As she spoke, Xiao Wu let go of Wen Xuan's arm.

Then she clenched her hands, making as if to teach Tang San a lesson.

Hearing Xiao Wu's furious shout and seeing her walk toward him, Tang San instinctively frowned.

But when he thought of how she was the cutest and prettiest girl he had ever seen, Tang San did not activate the Silent Sleeve Arrow hidden in his sleeve.

Instead, he lowered his head apologetically.

"I'm sorry. I just thought you were very pretty and cute, so I looked a little longer."

Seeing that Tang San knew his place, Xiao Wu gave a dissatisfied snort before walking back toward Wen Xuan.

She skillfully looped her arm around Wen Xuan's again.

Seeing this, Tang San felt as though he had lost something important. His chest ached terribly.

"Alright, stop looking. They've already gone far away."

Seeing Tang San staring at someone else's girl, Yu Xiao Gang shook his head helplessly.

Back then, he had been like Tang San as well. But he was better than Tang San, at least—Yu Xiao Gang knew how to seek benefits for himself. Someone like Tang San, who only dared to look but not act, was nothing more than a creepy simp.

"Mm." Tang San withdrew his gaze and swore to learn everything about that girl.

The pain in his heart was real. He had to figure out what it all meant.

He also had to find out who the boy holding Xiao Wu's hand was and what their relationship was.

Wen Xuan turned his head and looked toward where Tang San had already disappeared, his heart bursting with joy.

Tang San had definitely fallen for Xiao Wu at first sight, but so what? I've already won Xiao Wu over. In a few years, she might even have been molded into my shape. Tang San, you can just wait and compete with Ma Hongjun and those other bachelors for Cuihua.

As Wen Xuan thought this, he could not suppress the smile on his lips.

Xiao Wu saw Wen Xuan's mischievous grin and knew he was thinking of something bad again.

But he was the man she had chosen. No matter what Wen Xuan did, she would support him unconditionally.

Several days passed like this. The academy held classes every day, and Xiao Wu sat with Wen Xuan. During class, she would rub her delicate feet against Wen Xuan's calves.

These days, Tang San would occasionally seek out chance encounters with Xiao Wu and even inquire about her family background.

However, Xiao Wu ignored Tang San completely. She spent every day with Wen Xuan, occasionally going around the academy acting as the Big Sister.

Even Xiao Chenyu from the original story and the lackeys who followed him had been beaten into submission by Xiao Wu.

They were now all Xiao Wu's subordinates. At the academy, aside from Wen Xuan and Tang San, almost no one dared provoke Xiao Wu.

Wen Xuan was different because Xiao Wu was his wife. How could he possibly lay a hand on her? As for Tang San... Xiao Wu was the woman he had his eye on, and he wanted to earn favor around her.

So he would not lay a hand on Xiao Wu either. Because of this... Xiao Wu had become famous at Luoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Whenever Wen Xuan was cultivating, she would bring Xiao Chenyu and the others to pick on work-study students like Tang San and Wang Sheng.

Wen Xuan had deliberately told Xiao Wu to do this. Tang San could not bear to hurt Xiao Wu, and Wen Xuan was taking advantage of that by having Xiao Wu step forward.

Meanwhile, he cultivated in secret, occasionally using "Optimization" to modify his Martial Soul.

After all, the Soft Bone Rabbit's potential was too low.

After several days of "Optimization" without sparing Soul Power, Wen Xuan's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul gradually underwent a slight change.

It turned pink like Xiao Wu's, but Wen Xuan had a Domain around him.

As long as he activated Martial Soul Possession, everyone within ten meters would be affected by his Charm Domain. It could not only reduce their hostility toward him, but also gradually influence their impression of him.

Everyone's Soul Power would be reduced by ten percent, while Wen Xuan himself would be enhanced by ten percent. However, the Domain did not distinguish between allies and enemies.

Xiao Wu was the first victim. To test the Domain, Wen Xuan pulled Xiao Wu into training with him, eventually reaching a conclusion.

Once he activated his Martial Soul, the Domain would automatically activate as well, forming a pink circle within ten meters that only Wen Xuan could see.

"Xiao Wu, go play first. I've finished my 'Optimization' for today. Since tomorrow is a holiday, I'm planning to obtain a Soul Ring. When the time comes, help me find a suitable one."

He rubbed Xiao Wu's head as she sat beside him, propping up her chin and looking at the blackboard.

Class was still in session. Xiao Wu appeared to be attentively watching the blackboard, but if anyone lowered their head, they would discover that her shoes had already slipped off her feet.

Her fair little feet were rubbing against Wen Xuan's calf beside her.

The Simp Tang San

Wen Xuan was not idle either. He constantly played with Xiao Wu's slender, fair fingers, and sometimes with her delicate feet, though Xiao Wu resisted that greatly.

After all, Wen Xuan often said her feet smelled, making Xiao Wu truly believe that they did.

Tang San, who was in the same class as Xiao Wu, was staring fixedly at Wen Xuan.

According to what Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu said... this Wen Xuan seemed to be Xiao Wu's brother. It probably wasn't what I thought.

Thinking of the information he had gathered recently, Tang San loosened his tightly clenched fist.

Tang San was extremely perceptive. Having cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes from the Mysterious Heaven Skill, although he had not yet mastered awareness of his surroundings completely, he could already use his spiritual power to explore a small area.

To Tang San, Xiao Wu was the woman he cared about. During class, he would keep his spiritual power focused around Xiao Wu.

For the past several days, Tang San had sensed Xiao Wu and Wen Xuan making all kinds of intimate little movements beneath the desk during class.

"This brother... actually making such movements with his own sister... truly shameless, unworthy of being a brother." As someone from ancient times who had brought his old-fashioned beliefs with him, Tang San found Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu's behavior improper.

Yet deep in his heart, every movement Xiao Wu made often stirred his heart.

"Boss, what are you muttering about?" Wang Sheng, who shared a desk with Tang San, had heard him talking to himself. His teeth were also constantly grinding together.

Following Tang San's gaze, Wang Sheng could see Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu in the back, laughing and smiling like a couple. However, since class was in session and the teacher was at the front, he could only tell that they looked happy and could not hear what they were saying.

But Tang San could hear them.

"Boss... stop staring. They're a pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl. You keep staring at them like some pervert."

Wang Sheng did not know Tang San's thoughts and patted Tang San's shoulder in advice.

After all, Xiao Wu was the Academy Beauty of the entire Junior Soul Master Academy. Despite her young age, she was already charming and adorable. Especially in terms of development—though her figure had not fully grown in yet, the headlights in front were already beginning to take shape.

Wang Sheng liked Xiao Wu too, and many simps like Tang San enjoyed circling around her. But Xiao Wu only treated them as underlings, and she often bullied the work-study students.

"What did you say?"

When Tang San heard Wang Sheng call Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu a pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, fury flared in his eyes.

This woman was the one he had his eye on. How could she be Golden Boy and Jade Girl with someone else? Even if that person was her brother, it was unacceptable.

For a moment, he forgot that class was still in session.

Hearing Tang San's enraged voice, the teacher at the front turned around and threw a piece of chalk at him.

"Tang San, get out and stand outside. You can't even keep quiet during class. As expected, this is what that freeloader master from the academy teaches."

The day passed with classes like that. When class finally ended and Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu walked out of the classroom, Tang San approached Xiao Wu again.

"Sister Xiao Wu... Tomorrow, I'm going with Teacher to obtain my first Soul Ring. Would you like to come watch?"

Tang San had clearly been at odds with the teacher just moments earlier, yet now he wore a fawning expression.

As for Wen Xuan standing beside her, Tang San did not take him seriously at all.

"Ew."

"Why is it you again, Tang San? I already told you not to come looking for me. I'm going to eat with Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with disgust. At the moment, Tang San looked like someone who had been baked dark by military training every day.

His face had never been good-looking to begin with, and with that dark complexion... it was simply unbearable to look at. Tang San had also found a blacksmith job outside the academy. Working with refined water every day had left him with an indescribable stink of sweat.

"Tang San, it's not that Xiao Wu doesn't want to go. It's just... my Xiao Wu has high standards when it comes to quality of life. You can barely even afford food, and you keep eating leftovers day after day..."

Seeing Tang San shamelessly coming over again, Wen Xuan could not help teasing him.

Outside, Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu were siblings. That was the version Tang San had heard from others, and it was also the version Wen Xuan had intentionally let him hear.

In private... Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu were card-playing partners who satisfied each other's needs. Other than not breaking through that final layer, they took mandarin duck baths together every night, and their blankets were constantly filled with restless little movements.

If Tang San came to Wen Xuan and Xiao Wu's Double Room at night, he could even hear Xiao Wu's seductive singing.

After all, Wen Xuan's fingers had become much quicker through practicing on Xiao Wu recently.

"This..." Tang San, who had originally been disheartened, thought Xiao Wu only disliked him because he was poor after hearing Wen Xuan's words.

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu... Once I obtain my first Soul Ring and become a Soul Master, I can receive Spirit Hall subsidies... Then I'll be able to treat you to delicious food."

After saying that, Tang San quickly ran toward Yu Xiao Gang's residence.

He wanted to arrange tomorrow's time with Yu Xiao Gang. He needed to become a Soul Master sooner, so he could get closer and closer to Xiao Wu. After all, even Xiao Wu's brother Wen Xuan had said so.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had been about to snap at Tang San, but Wen Xuan grabbed her buttocks from behind.

Only after Tang San had gone far away did Wen Xuan release his hand.

"Don't expose anything in front of Tang San... Don't give Tang San too nasty a face when you talk back to him... What did I say last night? His father is a Titled Douluo. Until we have absolute strength, don't provoke him."

After speaking, Wen Xuan deliberately gave her buttocks another hard squeeze.

Thinking of Tang Hao, Wen Xuan could not help looking up at the sky and glancing around.

He always felt as though Tang Hao was watching him.

"Eek~"

"Xiao Xuan, don't use so much force. I understand, okay? It's just that Tang San smells so bad... And... I've never even seen Tang San's father."

Xiao Wu let out a soft, sultry sound after Wen Xuan grabbed her. When she finished speaking, she looked somewhat aggrieved.

After all, that grab had left at least several finger marks on her buttocks.

"Alright, alright, let's go back. Tomorrow, we need to return to Star Dou Forest too. Otherwise, my Soul Ring problem will remain unresolved."

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll have Er Ming catch one for you. Er Ming knows every Soul Beast in Star Dou Forest like the back of his hand."

After saying that, Xiao Wu rubbed her face against Wen Xuan's.

"I even found Er Ming for you, Xiao Xuan. Shouldn't you praise me?"

Hearing Xiao Wu say that, Wen Xuan stopped walking and pinched the cheek of the Xiao Wu beside him.

"Then tonight, I'll help you ease the pain."

"You're so annoying. Hurry up and go back."

Seeing quite a few passing students looking at them strangely, a flush quickly spread over Xiao Wu's face and neck.

She pushed Wen Xuan toward the dormitory.
