Ning Rongrong's Fury! Xiao Wu Rejoins the Team

However, just as Bai Ge was completely immersed in that wondrous state where he could freely mobilize every shred of strength in his body and control every inch of his muscles, Meng Yiran suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Bai Ge had clearly not expected Meng Yiran to "ambush" him. After all, the two of them had not made any bet.

The girl's lips were like roses glistening with morning dew, gentle yet passionate.

For a moment, Bai Ge offered no resistance at all.

The rebounding force of National Art of Refining Energy—the ability where "not even a feather could be added, nor a fly allowed to land"—seemed to have completely failed as well.

By the time Bai Ge came back to his senses in a daze, all he saw was Meng Yiran's smiling face.

"You bastard, what did you do to my Brother Xiao Bai?"

Meng Yiran's sudden attack had caught everyone off guard.

By the time Ning Rongrong reacted, Meng Yiran had already succeeded!

Immediately afterward, Ning Rongrong's earth-shaking roar echoed through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meng Yiran glanced at Ning Rongrong. "Little sister, you want to steal a man from your big sister? Wait until you grow up first."

Then Meng Yiran gave Bai Ge another charming smile. "Don't overthink it. This is repayment for saving my life.

If you hadn't stopped me from absorbing that Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring, the one covered in exploding blood mist right now would have been me... No, I would already be a corpse. I've been afraid of pain since I was little."

Bai Ge was speechless. He really wanted to say, girl, Tang San was the one who killed the Man Faced Demon Spider!

But clearly, Meng Yiran could not possibly have any favorable impression of Tang San, who had stolen two of her Soul Rings.

By comparison, Bai Ge was handsome, had given her a secret manual, and had even told her how to determine a Man Faced Demon Spider's age.

Without comparison, there was no harm!

What did it mean to be carried entirely by one's peers?

This was a textbook example.

Ning Rongrong raged helplessly. "So what if you're the Peerless Dragon Serpent?

When we go back next time, I'll have Bone Grandfather stand up for me and beat you until you're crawling around looking for your teeth!"

Seeing Dragon Duke's expression darken, Bai Ge stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Rongrong. "Senior, the Bone Grandfather Rongrong mentioned is Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Looking across the entire world, she is the only one who can address Bone Douluo that way. Please give us some face, Senior."

At those words, Dragon Duke subtly took half a step back.

He laughed heartily. "Now that you mention it, this old man recalls my wife saying that you are Sword Douluo's prized disciple.

In that case, you and this little girl can be considered childhood sweethearts. You brat really are lucky."

Dragon Duke and Snake Woman exchanged a smile, then nodded to Zhao Wuji before taking their granddaughter and leaping away.

They still needed to quickly find another suitable Soul Beast for their granddaughter, then leave this place as soon as possible.

Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun crowded around. "Xiao Bai, how did it feel to have a beauty kiss you?"

Bai Ge sneered. "How could it compare to Young Master Dai Mubai? In broad daylight, you took a pair of twin beauties to a lovers' hotel, one in each arm. Isn't that right?"

"Damn it, Xiao Bai, what nonsense are you talking about?" Dai Mubai panicked.

"Oh, twins and a lovers' hotel? I couldn't tell that you knew how to have fun, Dai Mubai."

Zhu Zhuqing's icy voice rang out.

"Is everyone all right? Sorry for causing you trouble."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Who is it?" Zhao Wuji's cold gaze shot in one direction as his Soul Power abruptly gathered.

Tang San had reached the most crucial moment. He would not allow any person or Soul Beast to disturb him.

"Teacher Zhao." A slender figure ran out from the woods.

When they saw her, not only was Zhao Wuji stunned, but everyone else froze as well.

The one who had suddenly run out of the forest was actually Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu looked quite bedraggled at the moment. Her clothes were torn in several places, and her neatly braided scorpion braid had become disheveled.

Yet her complexion was very rosy, and she seemed somewhat more mature than before.

"Xiao Wu, you're not dead?" Only after Oscar said those words did he realize how unpleasant they sounded.

Xiao Wu said irritably, "Were you hoping I was dead? What's going on? This mist... Heavens, what happened to Little San?"

Seeing Tang San within the pale red mist, Xiao Wu's heart instantly clenched. She rushed over in three strides.

She had been sent back by the Titan Giant Ape. Although the Star Dou Great Forest covered a vast area, it was no difficulty for the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, to find the group from Shrek Academy here.

After delivering Xiao Wu nearby, the Titan Giant Ape quietly departed.

"Don't disturb him. He's absorbing his third Soul Ring." Zhao Wuji hurriedly stopped Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu cried out, "But how could absorbing a third Soul Ring turn out like this?"

Turning her head and seeing the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse nearby, she understood somewhat.

"A Man Faced Demon Spider? This is bad. This Man Faced Demon Spider has more than two thousand years of cultivation.

Grandmaster said that the limit for a Soul Master's third Soul Ring is a little over one thousand seven hundred and sixty years. Little San, he..."

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile. "Little San has already begun absorbing this Soul Ring.

There's no way to stop now.

All we can do is hope that he withstands the energy impact within the Soul Ring and survives this ordeal.

By the way, Xiao Wu, how did you escape the Titan Giant Ape's clutches?

Tell us what happened first."

Naturally, she could not tell everyone that the Titan Giant Ape had specifically come to take her away after sensing her aura.

Before returning, Xiao Wu had naturally prepared an explanation. Looking worriedly at Tang San before her, she explained, "I don't know what happened either.

That Titan Giant Ape grabbed me and ran into the forest. It had not gone very far when what sounded like a cow's roar came from one direction.

The Titan Giant Ape seemed very nervous. It looked at me, threw me aside, and then ran away."

"A cow's sound? What kind of cow could make the Titan Giant Ape nervous? What happened afterward?" Zhao Wuji could not help frowning.

Fear appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes. "After the Titan Giant Ape threw me down, it let out a roar before leaving. I only felt the world spin, and then I fainted.

When I woke up, it was already gone.

The scene was terrifying. At least dozens of Soul Beasts around me had been knocked unconscious, while the weaker ones had their mouths and noses bleed from the shock and died on the spot.

I don't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck, but I suddenly discovered that my Soul Power had also broken through to level thirty."

"I was terrified then. Perhaps my Soul Power had increased because the external stimulation was too great.

I happened to find a thousand-year Soul Beast suitable for me lying unconscious, so I killed it and obtained my third Soul Ring."

"That works too?"

The Fatty stared at Xiao Wu with the expression of someone watching a blind cat stumble upon a dead mouse.

Xiao Wu showed a lingeringly frightened expression. "I guess my life is tough. I thought I was definitely going to die.

To avoid being attacked once the surrounding Soul Beasts woke up, I had no choice but to kill all the Soul Beasts knocked unconscious nearby. After absorbing my third Soul Ring, my strength recovered, and only then did I follow my memories back.

Earlier, I heard sounds from this direction and came looking. I finally found you all."
