Eve of Tang San and Xiao Wu's Fallout

Eve of Tang San and Xiao Wu's Fallout

The next day.

Xu Yichen called everyone up early.

"Mm... Dean, this early?"

Ning Rongrong rubbed her sleepy eyes, still drowsy.

"If we leave early, we might even have to spend the night in the Star Dou Great Forest. There are plenty of soul beasts there, but finding ones suitable for you will still be difficult."

"Alright."

The thought of soon absorbing a five-thousand-year soul ring woke Ning Rongrong right up.

Sleep? Who needed sleep when a five-thousand-year soul ring was waiting?

"Alright, I've prepared everything. Just bring whatever clothes you need, and we'll head straight to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"It's quite a journey, so consider it part of your training."

Suotuo City lay southeast of the Balak Kingdom, roughly five hundred kilometers from the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Alright."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong quickly packed their things.

"Let's go."

Xu Yichen was a little excited as well. The Star Dou Great Forest was one of the most important places on the Douluo Continent. A soul master who had never been there could hardly be considered complete.

After Xu Yichen's nourishment the day before, Ling Xi looked radiant and full of energy. She held his arm with both hands as they walked slowly, a happy smile curling her lips.

"Zhuqing, why does Teacher Ling Xi seem even prettier than yesterday?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"Uh..." Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips awkwardly, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face. Of course she knew about such things; she had been taught before.

"This..."

"What is it?"

Ning Rongrong failed to notice Zhu Zhuqing's embarrassment and kept asking.

"Ah..." Zhu Zhuqing carefully explained it in Ning Rongrong's ear.

"Ah! Is that how it is?"

Ning Rongrong's creamy, jade-like face instantly flushed crimson, and she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

"I never expected the dean and Teacher Ling Xi to have that kind of relationship."

"Hasn't it been that way for a while? Back at Shrek Academy, didn't they already kiss?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Yichen's back, a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"Ah, it seems getting together with the dean will still be rather difficult."

"Hm? You don't mind?"

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong shook her head. "I don't mind. I said it before—who even knows how many women my father has? Isn't that normal? For powerful soul masters, having many women is perfectly normal, isn't it?"

"Mm, that's true."

Thinking about it, Zhu Zhuqing's mood improved considerably.

Not far ahead, Ling Xi had sharp ears and heard their conversation clearly.

So these two little girls really do like the dean. Should I help them?

As the group continued on their journey.

By the time night fell, they had reached a small town.

"We'll restock and take a break in this town before continuing onward."

"Alright."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both somewhat exhausted after traveling all day.

The town was fairly sizable, at least much larger than the village where Shrek Academy was located.

Shops lined the streets, offering all kinds of goods. Most dealt in items related to soul masters, since this place was close to the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul masters passing through were generally headed there.

Naturally, that was where the money was.

"Dean, where are we staying?"

"At the hotel ahead. This is only a small village, after all. There aren't many hotels, so an ordinary place will have to do."

"That's fine."

Ning Rongrong was too tired to care about such things now. As long as she had somewhere to rest, that was enough.

"Alright, let's go."

It was a very ordinary hotel, incomparable to the Rose Hotel or the hotel where they had stayed before.

The hotel was a two-story building. The first-floor hall was a simple restaurant, while the second floor housed the rooms.

The moment Xu Yichen entered the hotel, he saw Tang San and the others. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously again, and he simply could not suppress the smile.

He could not help it—bullying Tang San felt far too good.

"Oh, what a coincidence. You're here too."

As Xu Yichen spoke, he led the three women to a table off to the side and sat down.

"You're the girls who beat Tang San up yesterday."

When Ma Hongjun saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, he froze and blurted it out without thinking.

"Damn it!" Tang San's face darkened as he cursed Ma Hongjun's entire ancestry in his heart.

"Ahem..."

Oscar patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.

Seeing Tang San's dark expression, Ma Hongjun realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Sorry."

"Fatty, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak."

Dai Mubai shot him a vicious glare.

"What, are you also heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings? Which genius has reached Rank 30?"

Xu Yichen asked with a smile.

"I have."

"Oh? Why didn't I see you the last time I went to Shrek Academy?"

"I was probably cultivating."

"Good. Work hard, and perhaps you'll become a powerful soul master someday. By the way, Tang San, weren't you already Rank 29 a long time ago? Have you reached Rank 30 now?"

As Xu Yichen spoke, he changed the subject.

"No!"

Tang San gritted his teeth. He had already felt himself on the verge of breaking through, but Zhu Zhuqing had damaged his meridians. He had needed to spend a great deal of time repairing them, leaving him still short of Rank 30. He did not even know whether he would make it in time during this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Oh, what a pity."

Xu Yichen wore a regretful expression, but he was practically dying of laughter inside. Then that Man Faced Demon Spider has nothing to do with you, and the Eight Spider Lances, that External Soul Bone, can count as my gift to Meng Yiran.

Seeing Oscar sneak glances at Ning Rongrong, Xu Yichen was speechless. Was this fate? He had already taken Ning Rongrong away, yet Oscar had still fallen for her at first sight. Or was it simply that Oscar liked little princesses like Ning Rongrong?

But since he was here, how could he possibly give her away? Ning Rongrong's skin was as white and smooth as mutton-fat jade. It truly shocked Xu Yichen—across both his lives, he had never seen skin so snowy white. It was outrageous.

Xu Yichen looked toward Xiao Wu beside Tang San. Xiao Wu was staring straight at him as well, her eyes filled with intense resentment.

Xu Yichen found her expression amusing. It seemed that his constant presence around them had truly frightened Xiao Wu badly. After all, having a Titled Douluo near a transformed soul beast like her was simply terrifying.

Tang San noticed Xu Yichen looking in their direction, then looked at Xiao Wu beside him. His face immediately darkened again. The two were actually staring at each other!

How outrageous!

She was his woman. How could he let someone else covet her?

"What are you looking at!"

Tang San barked in a low voice, startling Xiao Wu.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wu was somewhat angry. Tang San had never treated her like this before.

"What's so good about that pretty boy that you're staring at him so intently?"

Tang San grew even angrier. Xiao Wu had not realized her mistake at all.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu snorted coldly. I'm not yours. What right do you have to control me?

"You..."

Tang San was furious. Just then, a group of people suddenly entered from outside, looking somewhat similar to Tang San's group.
