In Douluo, All the Goddesses Have Fallen Apart — Chapter 21

Wu Xing shook his head, then released his Soul Power and began to chant softly. A rabbit Martial Soul immediately appeared in his palm.

"Soft... Soft Bone Rabbit!" Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief.

But it was not over yet. In Wu Xing's other palm, a glazed pagoda radiating nine-colored light appeared.

"Seven... Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda—no... no, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile!" Ning Rongrong's eyes went wide, her voice trembling.

It was not just her. Su Ruoxi was also utterly shaken. What kind of terrifying existence was her man? With a casual wave of his hand, he had displayed two different Martial Souls.

But even then, it was far from over. As Wu Xing clenched his palm, the Martial Souls dispersed, only for the form of a fierce tiger to emerge once more.

"White Tiger Martial Soul." This time, it was Zhu Zhuqing's turn to be stunned.

"That's right." Wu Xing smiled and nodded, then teased, "Little sister Zhu Qing, my Martial Soul can use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with yours."

Wu Xing's frivolous words instantly made the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing blush. Of course, she understood what he meant.

He had made it extremely clear in the Diary Instance. Even though he had started restraining himself after learning that the Diary holders included women from the Anime Multiverse, he could not change overnight.

If it had been before, Dugu Yan would definitely have cursed Wu Xing as a shameless womanizer in her heart. But she was now completely shocked by his Martial Souls. After a long while, she finally asked, "Wu Xing, just how many Martial Souls do you have?"

"Well, there are still a hundred million more." Wu Xing smiled.

"One?" Dugu Yan stared blankly, then asked, "What Martial Soul is the remaining one?"

"Uh, stop asking. You have to leave me a few trump cards, don't you? You can't just strip me down to my underwear, can you?" Seeing that Dugu Yan had been misled by his pun, Wu Xing did not explain and instead stopped her from asking further.

At the mention of stripping off his underwear, Dugu Yan blushed faintly. She subconsciously glanced at that spot before spitting, "Pah, then I won't ask. Who wants to strip off your underwear anyway?"

After their playful banter, the girls consciously chose not to ask any more questions, though their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.

One person actually possessed so many Martial Souls. He was not leaving any way for other Soul Masters to survive.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. The group left the Great Soul Arena, and it was time to part ways with the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy.

After spending the day together, they had formed a certain degree of friendship with the three girls. Ning Rongrong in particular was only one final step away.

"Brother Wu, come to Heaven Dou City when you have time." Ning Rongrong waved at Wu Xing, filled with reluctance.

"Brother Wu, keep in touch." Xiao Wu said the same. Clearly, she still cared deeply about reviving her mother.

"Alright." Wu Xing nodded, waved to the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy, and left with Su Ruoxi and the others.

Only after their figures disappeared did the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy withdraw their gazes and head toward Shrek Academy.

At the same time, Tang San, who had not seen Xiao Wu all day, was nearly driven mad with worry...

The Beginning of a Rift

"Xiao Wu, where did you go?"

The moment Xiao Wu returned to Shrek Academy, Tang San came rushing over with an anxious expression.

He could not help but feel nervous. Over the past few days, he had noticed that Xiao Wu's relationship with him had become somewhat distant.

In the past, Xiao Wu had followed him around all day. Even if she had something to do, she would tell him in advance. Today was the first time she had disappeared early in the morning without saying a word.

"I went out with Rongrong and Zhu Qing."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with complicated emotions and explained, but she did not mention Wu Xing.

Tang San frowned. He felt that something was off about Xiao Wu. He stepped forward, wanting to grab her hand, but the instant he reached out, Xiao Wu instinctively shrank back.

"Xiao Wu, did Third Brother do something wrong? Did I make you unhappy?" Tang San's expression stiffened when he saw her reaction.

"No... no." Xiao Wu shook her head. It was not that Tang San had done anything wrong. Rather, under Wu Xing's subtle influence, she had begun to feel that Tang San's desire to control her was far too strong.

That made her afraid, while also leaving her unsure of how to face him.

"No?" Tang San froze for a moment, then asked agitatedly, "Xiao Wu, what has been wrong with you these past few days? Why have you suddenly become so cold toward me? You were not like this before."

Xiao Wu did not answer. She merely shook her head and said, "Brother, I still have something to do. I'm going back to the dormitory first."

Tang San's expression changed at once. Seeing Xiao Wu about to walk past him, how could he let her leave? At the very least, he had to find out what had happened, or he would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.

Xiao Wu was his forbidden possession. How could he rest easy without understanding the cause?

"Xiao Wu, tell me. What exactly happened? Did someone speak badly of me in front of you?" Tang San stretched out his arm to stop Xiao Wu, staring at her with a deathly gaze as his voice unconsciously rose.

He truly could not think of anything he had done to upset her. The only possibility was that someone had said something to Xiao Wu.

Tang San's words startled Xiao Wu, and her gaze began to dart away. She could not deceive people, much less lie.

Seeing this, Tang San's face suddenly darkened. Sure enough, someone really had spoken ill of him before Xiao Wu, making her distance herself from him!

"Who was it?" Tang San said darkly, his entire body brimming with hostility.

Someone actually dared to drive a wedge between him and Xiao Wu. No matter who it was, he would make them pay.

The hostility that suddenly erupted from Tang San frightened Xiao Wu into a daze, leaving her at a loss.

"I... I, no one said anything to Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu came back to her senses and replied in panic.

"You're lying to me!" Tang San gritted his teeth fiercely. "Do you think I don't know you? If no one had said anything, would you not dare look me in the eyes?"

"I..." Xiao Wu was completely terrified. This was the first time she had seen such a frightening look in Tang San's eyes, and she could no longer speak properly.

"Tell me! I'll kill that bastard who drove a wedge between us!" Seeing that Xiao Wu remained silent, Tang San roared at her.

Tang San's roar was like a bolt from the blue striking Xiao Wu's mind. Her face went pale as she suddenly found him unfamiliar.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong, who was beside Xiao Wu, could no longer stand it. She shouted, "Tang San, why are you yelling at Xiao Wu? Didn't Xiao Wu tell you that no one said anything? You're scaring her!"

Tang San's roar, together with Ning Rongrong's loud questioning, caused quite a commotion. Passing students turned to look, and Dai Mubai and the others hurried over after hearing the noise.

"What happened?" Dai Mubai and the others were confused when they arrived, but they were shocked again when they saw Xiao Wu's appearance. "Tang San, what happened to Xiao Wu?"

Ning Rongrong's loud questioning brought the somewhat irrational Tang San back to his senses. Looking at Dai Mubai and the others who had arrived, he realized that he had become too emotional. When he saw Xiao Wu's frightened gaze, he hurriedly explained, "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. Third Brother was wrong. I scared you."

"But I only want what's best for you. Don't let others deceive you. Don't you understand my feelings for you after all this time?"

"Uh..." Dai Mubai and the others, who had just arrived, exchanged looks.

They had thought Xiao Wu had been bullied by other students, which was why Tang San had become so angry. But now it seemed that was not the case. Instead, Tang San himself had frightened Xiao Wu, leaving them bewildered.

After all, in their eyes, Tang San had always been incredibly protective of Xiao Wu. Why would he lose his temper at her?

Xiao Wu was softhearted. Seeing Tang San apologize, she felt a little better and slowly shook her head. "I'm not feeling well. I'm going back first."

After saying that, she walked past Tang San and headed toward the dormitory. Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly supported Xiao Wu and left with her.

Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, glared at Tang San before following after them.

Only after the three girls had left did Tang San's apologetic expression darken again. His clenched fists produced a series of soft cracking sounds.

Who was it?! Who the hell was it?!

"L-Little San, what happened?" Tang San's appearance made Dai Mubai and the others' hearts pound, but they still asked out of concern.

Tang San stared fixedly in the direction Xiao Wu had left before answering word by word, "Someone spoke badly of me in front of Xiao Wu, and now Xiao Wu doesn't even like me anymore."

"What!" The others were shocked again.

No wonder he was so angry. Someone had been trying to drive a wedge between the two of them.

But after thinking about it, they found it hard to believe. Given the relationship Tang San and Xiao Wu usually displayed, who could possibly do such a thing?

Oscar's eyes flickered as he comforted him, "Little San, it's alright. I'll find a chance to ask Rongrong and see what's going on."

In his view, although he and Rongrong were not a couple yet, it was only a matter of time.

As long as he found an opportunity to probe indirectly, Rongrong would definitely tell him.

What he never expected was that the girl he liked had nearly become someone else's that day—and she had done so willingly.

The little hand he dreamed of holding had not only been grasped and carefully played with by someone else, but the body he had not dared to defile had been touched all over.

"That's right, Little San. We Seven Monsters are one. No one can drive a wedge between our friendship." Dai Mubai nodded as well, telling Tang San to put his mind at ease.

"Mm." Tang San nodded. Fortunately, he still had his brothers. Otherwise, he might truly have lost his mind and fallen into the trap of the person who had spoken badly of him.

But since you dared to drive a wedge between Xiao Wu and me, I will definitely make you pay a heavy price!

Wu Xing had no idea that Tang San hated him once again. Tang San was even thinking about how to torture him and make his life worse than death.

At this moment, he had already returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. However, the moment he entered his room, before he could do anything, he received a notification from the Diary Friend List.

(Uh, did I write this protagonist a little too badly?)

I'll Treat You to a Lollipop

"Brother Wu, have you returned to the academy?"

Wu Xing opened the Diary Friend List and looked at the message Ning Rongrong had sent. He could not help but chuckle. This little witch really was impatient. How long had it been? She already could not resist interacting with him.

But when he thought about what had happened with her in the washroom that morning, his heart grew hot.

"I'm back. What about you?" Wu Xing typed in reply.

The Shrek Academy student dormitories were different from the ones at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They were shared rooms, and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had been assigned together. This showed the vast difference in the two academies' financial resources.

After comforting Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong lay on her bed. After thinking idly for a while, she could not resist opening the Diary Instance and sending Wu Xing a message.

She had originally thought that Wu Xing would not reply so quickly, but she immediately received his response. Her heart instantly leaped with joy.

She hurriedly sat up straight and replied, "Brother Wu, I came back a long time ago."

"Oh." Wu Xing merely replied with an "oh," with nothing further.

Looking at Wu Xing's brief one-word reply, Ning Rongrong pouted. This guy was being far too perfunctory. Could he not ask her a little more?

Wu Xing had no idea what Ning Rongrong was thinking. Even if he knew, he would not say much. He was not Oscar. He was no simp who would pour out his heart just because a beauty sent him a message.

Besides, chatting with girls required skill. The more proactive you appeared, the less the other person would care.

Although she showed a little dissatisfaction on her face, Ning Rongrong still asked, "Brother Wu, what are you doing right now?"

"Me? I'm lying in bed right now." Seeing Ning Rongrong take the initiative to start a topic, Wu Xing replied with a smile.

"Me too."

Ning Rongrong smiled. As if recalling something, she glanced at Xiao Wu on the opposite bunk before continuing, "Brother Wu, Rongrong has some news for you."

"What news?" Wu Xing asked curiously.

Something that this little witch was so eager to show off and share with him immediately caught his interest.

"Xiao Wu and Tang San just had an argument."

Sure enough, Ning Rongrong's message arrived not long after.

Xiao Wu and Tang San had an argument?

The moment Wu Xing saw it, he perked up and replied, "Tell me more."

"Hmph, I knew a big bad guy like you would like hearing that." Ning Rongrong huffed. This guy cared more about Xiao Wu than he did about her.

Wu Xing found the message amusing. This morning, you said you were the best of sisters, and now you're getting jealous already. What a fake sisterhood.

Thinking that, Wu Xing's fingers did not slow down as he typed, "I like you too. Didn't you see how I couldn't bear to let go of your hand at the auction house?"

"Pah." Ning Rongrong's face flushed as soon as she saw Wu Xing's reply, and she subconsciously spat the word aloud.

Whenever she thought of what happened at the auction house, she felt embarrassed by her own boldness. Especially that particular part of her body—she still remembered it vividly.

Big bad guy, filthy pervert. Couldn't you have been gentler? What if you squeezed it smaller!

Ning Rongrong had not sent that "pah" to Wu Xing. She had said it aloud unconsciously, causing Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beside her to look over curiously. "Rongrong, what are you talking about?"

"N-Nothing." Ning Rongrong jumped in fright at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's question. Only then did she remember that Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing were there, and she immediately shook her head.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled, but neither asked further.

Seeing that, Ning Rongrong let out a sigh of relief. That had been close—but it also felt so thrilling. She liked it so much.

On the other side, Wu Xing was also confused when Ning Rongrong did not send another message for a long time. Had this little witch become too embarrassed to reply after he teased her?

That should not be the case. She had been so bold that morning, yet now she was shy?

Just as Wu Xing was wondering, Ning Rongrong's message finally arrived.

"You filthy pervert, you almost got me in trouble!"

Wu Xing smiled in surprise and replied, "How did I get you in trouble?"
