Xiao Wu Leaves

"By all rights, I really should have done that!"

"But if I killed you, I was worried Little San would be heartbroken. So I'll let you go instead!"

"Write a letter yourself, explaining to Little San why you're leaving. Write it however you want. Afterward, I'll deliver it to Little San for you!"

Tang Hao sighed. Without offering much explanation, he tossed down some paper and a pen, then directly told Xiao Wu what to do.

"...Alright, I agree. I'll leave!" Xiao Wu picked up the paper and pen from the ground through her tears.

She knew she had no choice left!

Tang Hao had seen through her identity. The fact that he was not killing her was already exceedingly rare!

"Third Brother, Xiao Wu is leaving. I'm sorry I can't go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with all of you!

Actually, Xiao Wu has been hiding an enormous secret from you all!

Xiao Wu is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Of course, after transforming into a human, I'm very weak now and need to cultivate again.

And for Spirit Beasts like us who have taken human form, cultivation requires contact with humans. We need to absorb human vitality in order to grow.

So Xiao Wu used Third Brother. But I think Third Brother wouldn't be angry even if you knew the truth, right?

The reason I have to leave is that if I go to the Imperial Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xiao Wu won't be safe. My identity could be discovered by powerful Spirit Masters at any time, and then I'd be hunted for my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

So Xiao Wu is leaving, returning to the place where Xiao Wu belongs. Only there can Xiao Wu grow up safely.

I won't say goodbye to Third Brother in person either. Xiao Wu is afraid I won't be able to bear leaving!

Third Brother, please say goodbye to Grandmaster, Ning Rongrong, and the others for me as well. I'm leaving. Don't come looking for me. I'm returning to the place I should have returned to!

If fate allows, we'll meet again. I hope that by then, Third Brother won't want to kill me for my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone. I believe Third Brother wouldn't do that.

Your little sister, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu wrote the letter while shedding tears.

If she could, she truly wanted to write about how Tang Hao had stood by and watched as Su Xing violated her without doing anything. But she did not dare.

Although Tang Hao had told her to write whatever she wanted, there were some things she definitely could not write!

After taking the letter, Tang Hao gave it a glance before tucking it into his robes. "Alright, go!"

Xiao Wu turned back and looked unwillingly in the direction of Shrek Academy before gritting her teeth and leaving in tears.

"Ah..."

Watching Xiao Wu's departing figure, Tang Hao let out another sigh!

In truth, Tang Hao knew that after telling Xiao Wu he had stood by and watched Su Xing violate her, he should not have let her go.

He did not believe Xiao Wu would not resent him over it.

But he was worried that if he truly killed Xiao Wu, it would be troublesome if Tang San found out someday!

Thus, Tang Hao ultimately did not make a move against Xiao Wu. Especially now that there was another life in her belly, he found it even harder to do so!

If Su Xing had been here, he would not have been too surprised by Tang Hao's choice.

Because in Su Xing's view—

Tang Hao might have seemed incomparably domineering every time he appeared, but upon careful thought, anyone could tell that Tang Hao was the sort of person who hesitated and worried over every possibility.

Just like the Clear Sky Sect, he was not ruthless or decisive enough. Otherwise, he would not have spared Qian Xunji back then.

One had to know that Qian Xunji had just caused the death of his wife, Ah Yin!

Yet Tang Hao, afraid that the sect would face retaliation, directly spared Qian Xunji, the man who had killed his wife.

What a complete useless fool!

That night, Tang San did not see Xiao Wu return. After searching around, he finally found the letter Xiao Wu had left behind on his bed!

Of course, Tang Hao had placed it there.

Tang San quickly picked up the letter and began reading!

The moment he saw the opening, Tang San panicked. Xiao Wu had actually left.

Only after reading the rest did Tang San understand why Xiao Wu had to leave.

"Fool, of course Third Brother wouldn't blame you!"

"Don't worry, you'll always be Third Brother's little sister. How could an older brother possibly hunt his little sister for her Spirit Ring?"

Tang San muttered as though answering Xiao Wu's letter. Although he was shocked that Xiao Wu was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he also found it difficult to accept her departure.

But since this was Xiao Wu's choice, he would understand it.

He only resented that Xiao Wu had not told him face-to-face. Was she afraid that he would choose to hunt her?

Tang San had been angry about that at first, but on second thought, it was good that Xiao Wu could be so cautious. At the very least, it made her less likely to get into trouble!

"Where did you go back to?"

Tang San then began guessing where Xiao Wu might have gone.

"Star Dou Forest... could it be?"

Tang San's eyes quickly lit up as he recalled Xiao Wu's unusual behavior the last time they had been in Star Dou Forest.

"So that Titan Giant Ape must have known Xiao Wu, which was why it didn't harm her!"

Whether that was true or not, he would find out once he had enough strength to go take a look!

Only after quite some time did Tang San leave the dormitory and tell everyone that Xiao Wu had already left.

Tang San did not reveal that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He only said that Xiao Wu had gone home because of something and could not continue traveling with them!

Although Ning Rongrong and the others found it hard to believe that Xiao Wu had secretly left just like that, the deed was done. There was nothing they could say, aside from muttering that Xiao Wu had been unfair—not even telling them face-to-face before leaving.

After that, they comforted Tang San. Xiao Wu's departure would surely be hardest for Tang San to accept, and he would be the most saddened by it.

"I'm fine. You don't need to comfort me. When I have the chance, I'll go find Xiao Wu!"

Tang San instead smiled calmly. Though he was upset, Xiao Wu had left for a reason, so he could still accept it.

At that moment, Xiao Wu, who had already gone far from Shrek Academy, suddenly stopped and looked back toward the academy.

"Third Brother, you should already know I've left, right?"

"Third Brother, you still don't know, do you? Your father forced me to leave, and also..."

"On the day something happened to me, your father chose to stand by and do nothing!"

"I hate him so much!"

Xiao Wu murmured, intense resentment appearing in her eyes.

If Su Xing, who had violated her, had been the person she hated most before, then Tang Hao was undoubtedly the one she hated most now!

But Tang Hao was Tang San's father. Xiao Wu simply did not know whether she should take revenge.

"Urgh—"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu felt nauseated again and began dry heaving!

After recovering, she touched her belly. Feeling the life within it, the hatred in Xiao Wu's eyes vanished.

"Baby, although Mommy didn't willingly choose for you to come into this world, since you're here, Mommy won't abandon you!"

"Mommy won't seek revenge either. Let's go home!"

Xiao Wu, who had been full of hatred moments earlier, stroked her belly. A smile filled with maternal love now bloomed on her face.

However, Xiao Wu still had one concern.

She was not yet level sixty and had not completely become human, so she did not know what form the baby in her belly would take after being born.
