Everything Was Too Late

"Th... Third Brother, I... I've been poisoned... Y... you have to help me detoxify..."

Xiao Wu was being carried in Su Xing's arms, clawing at him.

"I'll take you back!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu had mistaken him for someone else, Su Xing smiled and carried her back.

However, Su Xing's steps gradually slowed until he stopped.

Su Xing's first instinct had indeed been to take Xiao Wu back to Tang San. He believed that with Tang San's mastery of poisons, detoxifying Xiao Wu should not have been a problem.

But after only a few steps, with Xiao Wu's feverish body in his arms and her boneless softness against him, Su Xing's breathing gradually quickened.

Xiao Wu had been poisoned, and it was that kind of poison. If Tang San could not detoxify her by other means, he would definitely have to use physical means. That would be letting Tang San off too easily!

It was true that Xiao Wu liked Tang San, but what did that have to do with him?

Rather than letting Tang San detoxify her, he might as well do it himself. Either way, he would be saving Xiao Wu.

Standing there, Su Xing hesitated for a while.

He did not mind taking advantage of someone's vulnerability. He was saving her.

What Su Xing hesitated over was that if he really did it with Xiao Wu, he would completely offend Tang San.

"No, Xiao Wu didn't recognize me. Once it's done, I can just pull up my pants and leave!"

However, Su Xing soon realized that Xiao Wu had not recognized him at all. Under the influence of the drug, she had mistaken him for Tang San.

So long as no one found out, there would be no problem.

As for Xiao Wu discovering what had happened after waking up, she would definitely be too ashamed to tell Tang San.

The opportunity was rare, and there would be no consequences.

And though Xiao Wu looked like a little girl, she was already one hundred thousand years old. She was absolutely a legal loli.

After making up his mind, Su Xing immediately changed direction with Xiao Wu in his arms.

"Th... Third Brother..."

"This isn't the way back..."

Even though Xiao Wu had mistaken Su Xing for Tang San, she somehow still recognized the road and muttered in his arms.

"Mm, Third Brother will detoxify you later. It won't be quiet, so we'll switch to another hotel. That way, we won't disturb the Dean and the others."

Su Xing smiled and casually made up an excuse.

"Mm!" Xiao Wu answered without objection.

Su Xing said nothing more and carried Xiao Wu toward the nearest hotel at an accelerated pace.

At the hotel where Tang San and the others were staying.

Tang San, who had been cultivating diligently after being provoked by Su Xing, suddenly stopped.

"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so uneasy? It feels like something bad is about to happen..."

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San had suddenly felt a premonition, and the first person he worried about was Xiao Wu.

After going out to ask around, Tang San discovered that Xiao Wu had not returned yet.

This naturally made Tang San even more worried.

"Little San, did something happen?"

Yu Xiaogang noticed something was wrong with his disciple and asked.

"I suspect something happened to Xiao Wu. I'm going out to find her!"

After tossing out those words, Tang San jumped straight out of the hotel window.

He followed the direction Xiao Wu had taken when she left.

Unfortunately, by the time Tang San started looking, it was already too late.

Once everything had settled, Su Xing pulled up his pants and quietly left, refreshed and invigorated.

"Sorry, Little San. I put a green hat on you!"

Though he muttered this inwardly, Su Xing did not actually feel sorry for cuckolding Tang San.

It was not until noon that Xiao Wu emerged from the hotel, looking somewhat lost.

By then, she already knew that the man from last night had not been her Third Brother!

After discovering that she had been defiled by another man—without even knowing who that man was—

she had already cried in the hotel room.

Xiao Wu had considered dying. She had also considered running away and returning to Tiandou Forest.

But in the end, she could not bear to leave Tang San. So she decided to pretend that nothing had happened and keep it hidden from him.

"Xiao Wu!"

As Xiao Wu was about to return to the original hotel, she heard Tang San's voice.

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly. Then she put away her dazed expression and once again wore her cute, sweet smile. "Third Brother!"

"It's great that you're okay. Where did you go? Why didn't you come back last night?"

Tang San quickly came before Xiao Wu. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he immediately sighed in relief and asked happily.

How could I be okay? I'm no longer pure!

Xiao Wu's heart bled.

"I'm fine. I ran into a bad guy last night. After chasing him down and beating him up, it was too dark for me to find my way back, so I found a nearby hotel and stayed there."

"Hehe! Third Brother, you have no idea how badly I beat that bad guy with my Eight Stage Drop last night. I don't even know if he still has any intact bones left. He'll probably be bedridden for half a year!"

"..."

Xiao Wu offered an explanation. This was the excuse she had prepared beforehand!

She had not lied about the latter part, so there was nothing unusual in her expression.

"So that's what happened. You nearly scared me to death!"

"Don't go out alone again!"

Tang San smiled, able to imagine just how miserable that bad guy must have been.

Even he did not dare take Xiao Wu's Eight Stage Drop head-on.

Before long, Yu Xiaogang and the others arrived as well. Once they saw that Xiao Wu was all right, they all sighed in relief.

"Teacher, our team has already won many matches in a row. There are basically no worthy opponents left here. When are we returning to the academy?"

After winning another team battle at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, Su Xing suggested to Qin Ming that they return.

He wanted not only to avoid Xiao Wu, in case she recognized him, but also to prevent the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Martial Soul Team from facing the Shrek Seven Devils.

That had been his goal all along.

Because of Su Xing, Shrek Academy had arrived here a little later than in the original story.

"There's no rush. Shrek Academy's Dean hopes our team can have a match with theirs, so they can witness the strength of a top-tier team."

"So we still have to play a friendly match against them!"

Qin Ming smiled at Su Xing's words and explained why they would not be returning yet.
