Since Oscar had yet to obtain his third soul ring and had no Flying Mushroom Sausage, Tang San could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Giant Ape.
No one knew what would happen after she was taken.
Tang San did not understand why the Titan Giant Ape had taken Xiao Wu.
It was not just Tang San. Zhao Wuji, Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others did not understand either.
The Titan Giant Ape had made such a grand entrance, taken Xiao Wu, and left immediately. What was the reason for that?
Zhu Zhuqing and the others fell silent as they stared in the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had vanished.
Meanwhile, in Kadan's room at Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena, Gu Ye knew nothing of what was happening deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
He knew even less that Zhu Zhuqing's early advancement to level thirty had caused some differences from the original story.
At that moment, he sat on the sofa with the graceful Kadan in his arms. Looking at her seductive face, he gradually calmed down.
Just now, they had been so close—so close to having a thorough exchange right there on the sofa.
Yet at the very instant when passion ignited, Gu Ye stopped.
"What's wrong?" Kadan, leaning against Gu Ye's chest, raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with resentment.
She had already welcomed him in, yet Gu Ye had gotten off halfway through. Both body and mind, she felt terribly uncomfortable now.
Gu Ye made a shushing sound, signaling for Kadan to calm down.
One hand over her chest and the other around Gu Ye, Kadan struck a thousand alluring poses, her eyes overflowing with seductive charm. How could she possibly calm down?
At that moment, she was like a car speeding down the highway. Unless there was an accident, there was no way to stop halfway; she could only keep going forward.
Thump! Thump!!
Her heart beat faster and faster, like a car constantly accelerating on the highway.
Her cheeks were flushed, and the blood in her body flowed rapidly like gasoline. How could she calm down in such a state?
Seeing Kadan like this, Gu Ye knew that her blood was surging. As a physician, he immediately thought of a way to help her calm down quickly.
"Kadan, let's kiss first and calm down." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ye wrapped an arm around Kadan's waist and kissed her rosy lips.
Kadan's eyes half-closed as she held Gu Ye, unwilling to let him go again.
A moment later, Kadan found herself nearly unable to breathe, and without realizing it, she gradually calmed down.
Seeing that his method had indeed worked, Gu Ye secretly praised himself. What a miraculous physician he was.
Now that she had calmed down, Kadan knew she had been so close to indulging herself with Gu Ye properly, but Gu Ye had stopped. "Gu Ye, do you dislike being with me that much?" Kadan looked at him resentfully, her face full of unhappiness.
Seeing this, Gu Ye pulled Kadan closer.
But Kadan unhappily twisted her body and turned her head away.
Gu Ye leaned close to Kadan's ear and whispered, "Kadan, you should know that I'm still not strong enough right now. So I can't stay here tonight. But don't worry, I'll become stronger soon. When that time comes, it'll be just like that night in our little woods—we'll set fire and commit crimes."
Only then did Kadan turn back to look at him. "Then promise me that you'll come to Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena every night."
"Mm, fine, I promise. Is that enough?" Gu Ye stroked Kadan's seductive pretty face, almost unable to tear his gaze away.
"I'll head back first." Gu Ye did not want to stay any longer, because he feared that in the next second, he would lose control and carry Kadan back to her room.
The feeling of slamming on the brakes at high speed was truly unbearable. His skin was practically being rubbed raw.
Seeing that Gu Ye wanted to leave, Kadan tugged at him.
"What is it?" Gu Ye asked as he turned back.
"My mouth... is a little dry."
She knew that if Gu Ye went back now, he definitely would not come tomorrow. What he had just promised was only to make her happy.
So before Gu Ye left, she wanted him to stay a little longer.
Gu Ye looked at Kadan teasingly. "Which mouth is dry?"
Kadan did not quite understand what Gu Ye meant. Did she have a second mouth?
"What do you think?" Kadan shot Gu Ye an annoyed glare.
"Ahem, I misunderstood." Gu Ye was slightly embarrassed. He really should not have said something like "which mouth."
After lingering affectionately with Kadan for a while, he left her room.
Watching Gu Ye's departing figure, Kadan revealed a satisfied smile.
"Gu Ye, you'd better become stronger quickly, or I won't let you off."
Kadan murmured to herself, then summoned her Soul Saint guard into the room to discuss some matters in detail.
As soon as Gu Ye returned to his residence, he immediately went back to his room and began cultivating.
He needed to calm down as well and think over some things.
To him, Kadan just now had been like a fox spirit full of temptation. Had his will not been strong enough, he would have long since fallen into the trap of Kadan's body.
"No, I'm still not strong enough. I must become stronger."
Thinking of how his Soul Power was only at level forty-eight, Gu Ye felt that it was somewhat too low.
It was precisely because his strength was too low that he did not dare expose certain matters.
And precisely because his strength was low, he did not dare stay with Kadan for a night of passion, to delve deep into Kadan's trap and seek the truth at the end of the darkness.
"Over the next few days, I'll focus on improving my strength and break through to level fifty first. Once I reach level fifty, so what if my affair with Kadan is exposed?"
Gu Ye made up his mind. Over the next few days, he would stop seeing patients and focus on breaking through to level fifty.
Once he broke through to level fifty, he would no longer need to worry about so much.
Then, he could enjoy a night of passion with Kadan without so many concerns. Even if Xue Hong found out, he would not be afraid.
It was not that Gu Ye would be able to defeat the Soul Sage Qin Xiao at Xue Hong's side upon reaching level fifty. Rather, once he reached level fifty, his means of self-preservation would make him no longer fear a Soul Sage.
At that time... Thinking of Kadan's exquisite charms, Gu Ye felt a stirring in his heart.
Striving to become stronger for a woman like that was clearly more than worth it.
Once Gu Ye began cultivating, several days passed quietly.
Just as Kadan had expected, Gu Ye did not go to the Great Soul Arena again during those days.
Once he started cultivating, he did not even reopen the Medical Hall.
This showed just how hard Gu Ye was pushing himself to improve his strength, so that he could spend an entire night entwined with Kadan, falling deep into her trap.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Oscar, congratulations on obtaining your third soul ring."
"Oscar, congratulations!"
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others came over to congratulate Oscar.
Oscar had now obtained his third soul ring, and after all the twists and turns, it was still the Crested Wind-tailed Snake from the original story.
Yet Oscar was not particularly happy.
He looked at Tang San, who sat silently nearby, and let out a sigh.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai also looked toward the silent Tang San. Thinking of what had happened over the past few days, they sighed as well.
In the end, Dai Mubai walked over and said, "Third Brother, we've been searching for days, but there's still no news of Xiao Wu. Could she perhaps—"
"Xiao Wu will be fine. If you don't want to keep searching with me, then you can leave first," Tang San said in a low voice.
Dai Mubai became somewhat angry upon hearing that. "Third Brother, what do you mean by that? If we didn't want to search for Xiao Wu with you, would we have followed you this deep into the forest?"
"Think about it. If we go any deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, all of us will be in danger. You only think about Xiao Wu—can't you spare a thought for everyone else?"
"Exactly, Tang San."
Dai Mubai was not the only one angered. Ma Hongjun and Oscar were also upset.
Over the past few days, they had accompanied Tang San in searching for Xiao Wu and had encountered who knew how many dangers. If not for Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, they did not know how many times they would have died.
Xiao Wu had been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape several days ago. No one knew what had happened to her or what condition she was in.
Tang San was not the only one worried. As her classmates, they were worried too.
Yet Tang San was still saying such barbed words. No wonder Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others were angry.
