Tang Hao Appeared and Forced Xiao Wu Away

Your Martial Soul was just too useless...

Hearing Flender's consolation, Yu Xiaogang was truly at a loss for words. Was that even supposed to be comforting?

"Enough, I'm not that fragile. I don't need your consolation!" Speechless, Yu Xiaogang quickly interrupted Flender.

"Alright, haha..." Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was fine, Flender naturally said no more.

"By the way, have you noticed that Xiao Wu has been acting a little strange these past few days?" Only then did Flender bring up the students. Over the past few days, she had noticed Xiao Wu frequently spacing out, absent-minded.

"I asked Xiao Wu about it. She said she missed home," Yu Xiaogang replied, not seeing any problem.

"So that was it!" Hearing this, Flender was relieved as well.

Yet Xiao Wu, who was once again staring blankly into space, was not truly fine at all. The problem was enormous!

"What should I do?"

Xiao Wu touched her stomach with her small hand, her face full of confusion and helplessness.

She did not know what to do!

Just a few days ago, she had suddenly begun dry-heaving, again and again.

Xiao Wu was not really an ordinary girl. She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. After dry-heaving several times and comparing it to when Su Xing had defiled her, she knew what had happened!

She was pregnant, carrying Su Xing's child!

What Su Xing had worried about had indeed happened. He had become a father without realizing it.

Of course, Su Xing had no idea at this point, and Xiao Wu had no intention of telling him or making him take responsibility.

What Xiao Wu was struggling with was whether to abort the baby in her stomach.

If she did not, she would have to leave Shrek Academy and leave Tang San. Otherwise, before long, she would be unable to hide her pregnancy.

Xiao Wu did not want to leave Tang San.

But she could not bear to destroy the life inside her, either.

No matter what, she was the baby's mother. The child in her belly was hers.

"Mom..."

Xiao Wu then thought of her own mother. Back then, to protect Xiao Wu's escape, her mother had been willing to stay behind and sacrifice herself.

Compared to what her mother had done, Xiao Wu became even more incapable of deciding to abort the child in her stomach!

But she truly did not want to leave Tang San.

Thus, Xiao Wu had been deeply conflicted these past few days.

She had also considered telling Tang San the truth. Her Third Brother probably would not mind and would still accept her.

But if Tang San did not know, it was one thing. If he learned that her purity had already been taken by another, Xiao Wu herself would be too ashamed to remain by Tang San's side.

"You should leave Little San!"

Just as Xiao Wu was struggling, a deep voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.

"Who?"

Xiao Wu was instantly startled. Looking up, she discovered that a figure had appeared before her at some point, and she had not sensed him at all.

"Who are you?" Xiao Wu watched him warily, secretly growing anxious. She had wandered too far away.

"I am Tang San's father!"

The newcomer lifted his hat, revealing the weathered face of a mature man.

"You're Third Brother's father?" Xiao Wu was startled, staring at him in disbelief. He was nothing like the ordinary blacksmith Third Brother had described!

To approach her without being noticed, he had to be at least a Soul Saint.

She had taken human form and lost her strength, but most of her spiritual power remained.

"No, Third Brother's father is just an ordinary blacksmith!" Xiao Wu refused to believe it.

Boom!

Facing Xiao Wu's doubts, Tang Hao offered no further explanation. He merely slowly released his Spirit Rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

As more and more Spirit Rings appeared around Tang Hao, Xiao Wu grew increasingly horrified!

When she saw that dazzling Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Xiao Wu immediately collapsed limply to the ground.

"You... you're a Title Douluo..."

After learning that Tang Hao was a Title Douluo, only despair remained in Xiao Wu's eyes.

She knew that he must have seen through her identity!

"Do you think I still have any need to deceive you?" Seeing Xiao Wu completely frightened, Tang Hao withdrew his Spirit Rings and slowly spoke.

Xiao Wu trembled at his words, looking at Tang Hao in shock. "So... you really are Third Brother's father? And you already knew I was a Spirit Beast?"

"That's right. I discovered you back in Nuoding City!"

"Over the years, I have rarely left. I was basically always secretly protecting Little San!"

Tang Hao nodded.

Looking at Xiao Wu before him, he felt somewhat guilty. What had happened to Xiao Wu today was also the result of his having stood by and done nothing back then.

Yes, Su Xing's suspicions had been correct. On the night he had taken Xiao Wu, Tang Hao had indeed been watching from the shadows.

But after struggling for a long time, Tang Hao had still decided not to interfere, allowing Su Xing to defile Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu was startled again. So Third Brother's father had long known she was a Spirit Beast, yet had not killed her for her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone?

Hearing Tang Hao's later words and recalling what he had said upon appearing, Xiao Wu shuddered all over. She raised her head to look at Tang Hao in disbelief and asked sorrowfully, "So, you knew about what happened that night?"

"That's right!" Tang Hao fell silent for a moment before finally admitting it!

"Why?" Xiao Wu's eyes reddened, brimming with aggrieved tears.

She wanted to know why Tang Hao had not saved her!

"You are a Spirit Beast. There can be no good outcome when a Spirit Beast and a human come together!"

"Little San and the others will soon head to the Imperial Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. There, you could be exposed at any time!"

"Even if you are lucky enough not to be exposed, you will definitely be discovered at the Spirit Master Tournament a year from now!"

"I don't want to see Little San suffer because of you in the future, so I wanted to use this matter to make you leave him!"

"I just never expected that you would still remain by Little San's side afterward, refusing to leave. I underestimated your feelings for Little San. Perhaps I was wrong!"

"But since things have come to this, I still hope you can leave Little San!"

Watching the grieving Xiao Wu, Tang Hao slowly explained with a trace of guilt.

Looking at Xiao Wu, he could not help thinking of Tang San's mother, Ah Yin!

He might truly have been wrong!

But since things had already come to this, he could only continue down this mistaken path.

"..."

Only then did Xiao Wu understand Tang Hao's intentions, but she could not comprehend them. "Since you did not approve of Third Brother and me being together, why didn't you drive me away earlier? Or kill me for my Spirit Bone?"

Tang Hao fell silent at her words. He had considered it before, but Tang San liked Xiao Wu very much, so he had not driven her away.

He had thought he could protect them from the shadows.

But when he discovered that something had happened to Xiao Wu that day, he thought it might be a way to make Xiao Wu leave Tang San on her own, without him having to step forward and play the villain by driving her away.

So he let things take their course and allowed Su Xing to defile Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu would leave and stop being lovey-dovey with Tang San! Su Xing could be a scumbag and ignore Xiao Wu, but the author had to arrange things properly for her!
