Straight Man Tang San

Back at the hotel, Ning Rongrong was rolling around on the pink bed, her cheerful laughter echoing throughout the room.

"Rongrong, stop playing. Didn't you say you wanted to go out and look around? Get ready, and let's go. We can ask Tang San and Xiao Wu next door too—we can all go together."

"Yay, we're going out!" Ning Rongrong sprang up and ran onto the floor barefoot.

"Let's go. We may be staying in Suotuo City for quite a while, so let's first see what fun things there are here." Ye Feng rubbed Ning Rongrong's adorable little head and went with her to find Tang San and Xiao Wu.

In truth, Ye Feng had his own ulterior motive for seeking out Tang San.

His first reason for coming to Shrek Academy was to see whether he could copy Tang San's cultivation technique.

He had coveted Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill for a long time.

Compared with the Meditation Method, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was clearly far more powerful. Once his cultivation speed entered a plateau, if he could get his hands on Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, his cultivation would likely begin improving rapidly again.

As for the second reason, naturally, it was because of the immortal herbs.

The immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were practically another cheat for Tang San.

Even Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, did not recognize those immortal herbs, let alone know how to use them.

In order to evolve Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and to allow his own martial soul to evolve faster, Ye Feng had come to Shrek Academy, intending to secure a spot first.

He himself did not particularly need immortal herbs. Even without them, his martial soul could evolve on its own; at most, it would just evolve a little more slowly.

But Ning Rongrong was different. Without immortal herbs to evolve her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, she would be like Ning Fengzhi—her level would be trapped at the Spirit Saint stage in the future, unable to break through for the rest of her life.

That was something Ye Feng did not want to see.

Just as Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were preparing to invite Tang San and Xiao Wu—

On the other side, Xiao Wu was also pestering Tang San, wanting to go out and have fun.

"Little San, Third Brother, come out and play with me! What's the point of staying in the room? Don't you find it stifling?" Xiao Wu was someone who could never sit still. She had only been in the room for a little while before wanting to go out.

"But I still need to cultivate. I don't have your talent. You can keep getting stronger even without cultivating much, but if I want to improve my strength, I have to cultivate even harder."

After fighting Dai Mubai, Tang San had felt genuine pressure.

Although he still did not know what Shrek Academy was like, judging from the strength Dai Mubai had displayed today, Shrek Academy was definitely no ordinary academy.

If Dai Mubai had not stopped at the final moment today, then in a real fight, Tang San would certainly not have been his match.

Although neither he nor Xiao Wu had been injured in the end, he never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again.

Tang San had also gained quite a bit from today's battle. Right now, all he wanted was to digest and absorb those gains, turning them into his own strength.

Xiao Wu pouted unhappily, her large eyes gazing at Tang San resentfully. She simply stared at him without blinking. She did not care how many reasons Tang San had; right now, she only wanted to go outside and play.

Faced with Xiao Wu like this, Tang San truly had no way to deal with her. Just as he was about to agree, a knock suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Who's knocking? I'll go take a look." Hearing the sound, Tang San seized the chance to escape Xiao Wu's gaze and got up to open the door.

When he opened it, Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were standing outside. Upon seeing Tang San, Ye Feng smiled.

"Brother Tang San, Rongrong and I are going out for a walk. Would you and Xiao Wu like to come with us?"

Knowing that Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were also planning to enroll at Shrek Academy, Tang San was fairly friendly toward them. But faced with Ye Feng's question, he looked troubled.

"Well..." Tang San scratched his head, just about to find an excuse to decline, when Xiao Wu, who had come over to see what was happening, spoke first.

Hearing that Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were going shopping, Xiao Wu said delightedly, "Sure, sure! We were just about to go shopping too. Perfect, we can go together!"

Xiao Wu was quite curious about Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong, especially Ye Feng's strength. She was immensely curious about that.

"But I still want to cultivate!" Tang San looked at Xiao Wu awkwardly. Especially when he recalled the pressure brought by the trace of aura Ye Feng had revealed earlier, he wanted to cultivate even more.

"Little San, let's go out for a bit. It won't take long. We can come back and cultivate after we're done looking around!" Xiao Wu tugged on Tang San's sleeve and continued persuading him.

"Since Brother Tang San has something to take care of, perhaps we should forget it." Seeing Tang San's troubled expression, Ye Feng did not want to force him. There would be plenty of time in the future, and plenty of chances to obtain Tang San's cultivation technique.

"No, I'll go with you. If he wants to cultivate, then let him cultivate by himself." Seeing that Tang San was unwilling to go out, Xiao Wu flung away his sleeve, clearly growing angry.

"Right, let Xiao Wu go have fun with you. I'll cultivate a little longer." Tang San seemed not to notice that Xiao Wu was angry. His eyes lit up, and instead, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Tang San was already used to letting Xiao Wu go play by herself.

It had been the same back at Nuoding Academy. He worked hard at cultivating, while Xiao Wu acted as the big sister, leading a group of underlings around to play.

Now that Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were willing to take Xiao Wu with them, he was at ease. After all, Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong did not look like bad people.

"You... Hmph, let's go! Let him cultivate all by himself. What a complete idiot." Xiao Wu was nearly angered senseless by Tang San's words. Stomping her foot, she walked out of the room.

Tang San rubbed his forehead as he watched Xiao Wu, unable to understand why she had suddenly become angry.

"Then we'll be going first. Brother Tang San, take your time cultivating!" Ye Feng held back a laugh and waved goodbye to Tang San.

He truly had not expected Tang San to have such a dense side to him.

Of course, what he did not know was that in Ning Rongrong's eyes, Ye Feng was not much better. They were both big blocks of wood.

The three left the Rose Hotel. Ye Feng looked at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't mind. Anywhere is fine, as long as we're not cooped up in the room." Xiao Wu was still angry, and she had lost much of her interest in shopping.

Back at Nuoding Academy, she had been the big sister there, always surrounded by a large group of underlings. She could play however she wanted. Now that she was out alone with Tang San, she realized that Tang San was far too reserved. All he knew was burying his head in cultivation every day. With her lively nature, she naturally found it hard to adapt.

"Then let's just wander around first and see what fun things Suotuo City has to offer." Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
