In Douluo, All the Goddesses Have Fallen Apart, Chapter 49

And the Resurrection Technique had been directly rewarded because he was living in Dugu Yan's home.

Having received confirmation, Xiao Wu pondered briefly before looking up and asking, "Brother Wu Xing, when will you return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"I won't be returning to the academy so soon. To prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, our team has been assigned three months of practical combat training here, so we'll be staying at the hotel beside the Spirit Fighting Arena during this time." Seeing Xiao Wu take the bait, Wu Xing answered unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Then Brother Wu Xing, Xiao Wu knows what to do. Rongrong, Zhu Qing, and I will come by often."

Whether the diary rewards were related to this or not, she would agree to it for the sake of reviving her mother sooner.

If Shrek Academy had not been so close, she might even have considered having Rongrong, Zhu Qing, and the other girl stay at the hotel nearby.

"Then thank you, Xiao Wu. If I obtain a card that reduces the resurrection cooldown, I'll immediately revive Ah Rou for you." The corners of Wu Xing's lips curved up slightly. He could already imagine that little bastard Tang San's ugly expression.

The woman he loved would be coming to see him every day. Who knew when she might put a bright green hat on his head? Wouldn't that make him so furious that he went into qi deviation?

Just as Wu Xing was imagining that wonderful scene, he suddenly sensed a sharp gaze upon him. Following that feeling, he spotted Tang San secretly watching from afar.

A thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"Brother Wu Xing, it should be Xiao Wu thanking you instead." Xiao Wu did not notice anything unusual about Wu Xing. With her back facing behind her, she had not noticed Tang San following them to spy on them.

"Xiao Wu, aside from spending more time together, if a diary holder becomes more intimate with me, the rewards related to them may lean more toward what they desire," Wu Xing said, pretending not to notice Tang San spying on them as he began tempting Xiao Wu.

"..." Xiao Wu froze for a moment upon hearing that, then her little face rapidly flushed red. She understood what Wu Xing meant.

It was precisely because she understood that she felt embarrassed.

Of course, she had a favorable impression of Wu Xing. Unlike Tang San, who put on a righteous front while treating her as his private possession, Wu Xing had always remembered the mother she cared about most.

"W-Wu Xing... Brother Wu Xing, w-what... what does Xiao Wu need to do?" Xiao Wu gathered her courage to finish speaking, then lowered her head.

Her voice was so soft that one would not even know what she had said without listening carefully.

"Uh, Xiao Wu, Brother isn't trying to take advantage of you. I just want Ah Rou to be revived sooner. You can try being a little intimate with Brother." Wu Xing discreetly glanced in Tang San's direction before tempting her again.

"Int... intimate." Xiao Wu shyly gripped the hem of her little pink dress and kept fidgeting with it. Her face felt unbearably hot.

Seeing Xiao Wu's conflicted expression, Wu Xing said nothing more and simply watched her quietly. If he made it too obvious, it might backfire.

After a moment, Xiao Wu seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath, then, under Tang San's watchful gaze, stood on tiptoe and kissed Wu Xing's cheek...

Bright Green Tang San

"Xiao Wu is...!"

The moment Xiao Wu rose onto her tiptoes, Tang San had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he witnessed a scene that made him want to cough up blood.

His Xiao Wu, the Xiao Wu he loved most, had actually taken the initiative to kiss that guy!

Watching Xiao Wu kiss Wu Xing's cheek of her own accord, Tang San was in unbearable pain. His fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug directly into his palms.

The feeling of being betrayed by the person one loved, that feeling of being cuckolded, was something no man could accept—let alone the extremely hypocritical, utterly double-standard protagonist Tang San.

At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to kill the other man with his own hands. Yet he could not shout at them, nor did he dare step forward.

Xiao Wu was already deeply disappointed in him. If he stepped out now, what would Xiao Wu think of him?

She would think he had pried into her privacy and that he did not trust her. At that point, there would truly be no chance for their relationship to mend!

But if looks could kill, Wu Xing would likely have died thousands, if not tens of thousands, of times already.

He can endure even this? Is he a damn turtle? Seeing that Xiao Wu had already taken the initiative to kiss him and Tang San still had not stepped out, Wu Xing was quite taken aback. Could this little bastard have awakened some kind of special fetish?

With that thought, another wicked idea emerged in Wu Xing's mind. Looking down at the blushing Xiao Wu, he softly said, "Xiao Wu, kissing my cheek isn't enough. Where I come from, that isn't considered an intimate act. It's merely a way good friends express friendliness."

"Ah?" Xiao Wu's delicate little face turned bright red, and her bashful appearance was utterly adorable. Though terribly embarrassed, she still gathered the courage to ask, "Then... then what does Brother Wu Xing consider an int... intimate act?"

"You have to kiss on the lips," Wu Xing said wickedly.

He felt somewhat guilty about deceiving such an innocent little rabbit, but the moment he thought of the Double-Standard King, he was instantly at ease again.

If that little bastard had not been so hypocritical, none of this would have happened. He could only blame himself.

Upon hearing Wu Xing's answer, Xiao Wu's entire body trembled. She stood there blankly. Kiss... kiss on the lips? Wasn't that something only couples could do? How could she kiss Brother Wu Xing on the lips? If she really kissed him, wouldn't that make her Brother Wu Xing's woman?

Although she had a favorable impression of Wu Xing, she was not ready to go that far yet. Once she came back to herself, she hesitated.

"If you aren't willing, then forget it. As long as we spend more time together, there may still be a chance to obtain rewards related to reviving Ah Rou. The odds may just be a little lower." Seeing Xiao Wu hesitate, Wu Xing knew she was struggling internally, so he began playing hard to get.

Sure enough, upon hearing about her mother, Xiao Wu froze again and hurriedly said, "X-Xiao Wu is willing."

For the sake of reviving her mother sooner, what did a kiss matter? And what did it matter if she became Brother Wu Xing's woman to repay his kindness?

Didn't Mother used to teach her that one had to repay kindness? No, as a soul beast, one had to know gratitude and repay kindness.

Remembering her mother's teachings, Xiao Wu stood on tiptoe once more. Without any hesitation, her cherry-like lips pressed against his again.

Only this time, she did not kiss his cheek.

She kissed his lips.

Tang San had already been in immense pain, but after hearing Wu Xing's words, his heart rose into his throat. His eyes blazed with endless fury, as if they wanted to devour someone alive.

Though he did not know what rewards they were talking about or who Ah Rou was, that guy was not satisfied after getting Xiao Wu to kiss his cheek and now wanted her to kiss his lips. How could Tang San not lose his mind with rage?

For an instant, he wanted to step forward, but then he thought, How could Xiao Wu possibly agree to him? We've lived together for so many years. I understand Xiao Wu better than anyone. If she were such a casual girl, how could she have refused to let me touch her?

I can't fall for his trap. That guy must have noticed me. He's trying to provoke me into losing my cool so that I'll step out and make Xiao Wu dissatisfied. This scheme to drive a wedge between us is truly clever.

But who am I? The protagonist of the Douluo world, the Child of Fortune! How could I let the schemes of a petty man like you succeed?

I just won't step out. I'll just play along. What can you do? You're nothing but a clown jumping about. You dare play tricks before me? You're still too green!

Just when Tang San was absolutely certain Xiao Wu would never kiss Wu Xing on the lips, the next second completely shattered him. Xiao Wu truly stood on her little toes and kissed that guy right on the mouth.

"Crack!" Tang San's heart broke. It shattered completely. It hurt—so much, unbearably much.

Xiao Wu had actually kissed that guy on the lips. She had really done it. How was that possible? How could Xiao Wu kiss his lips?

At that moment, Tang San's body swayed. He looked utterly lost, like a walking corpse.

After his daze passed, Tang San's eyes turned blood-red, as though blood were about to flow from them. That incomparable agony viciously tore through his heart.

The girl he loved had kissed someone else again and again. Anyone would go mad, would go insane, after witnessing such a scene!

Wu Xing glanced at Tang San in the distance from the corner of his eye. Seeing those blood-red eyes, he felt immensely satisfied. But this was not enough. He wanted to see just how far this green-shelled turtle could endure. Slowly, he raised a hand behind Xiao Wu and placed it on her long braid, gently pulling her toward himself.

Wu Xing! If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human! I'll make sure you die without a burial place! I'll make all your women accompany you to the grave!!!

Tang San roared and howled madly in his heart. Although he was some distance away, with the enhancement of his Purple Demon Eye, he could see more clearly than others. He saw everything perfectly clearly—Wu Xing's tongue had actually entered Xiao Wu's mouth!

His eyes nearly split apart with rage. If he did not kill the other man's entire family, he swore he would not be human.

Xiao Wu had not expected Brother Wu Xing to put his tongue into her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock as if struck by lightning, and her mind went completely blank. She could only instinctively respond to his demand.

No one knew how long it lasted. When she finally came back to her senses and realized what she was doing, the two hands she had unconsciously placed on his chest pushed lightly.

Feeling the force against his chest, Wu Xing let her go. He did not continue. Just now, he had only launched a surprise attack while she was flustered. Now that she had regained her senses, he could not keep going, or the favorable impression he had painstakingly built might decline.

"Xiao Wu, sorry. I got a little impulsive. Mainly because your lips are so sweet, Brother couldn't hold back for a moment." After letting her go, Wu Xing immediately apologized.

Hearing Wu Xing's apology, Xiao Wu wished she could find a hole to crawl into. What did he mean, her lips were too sweet and he could not hold back for a moment?

Brother Wu Xing was really something. A kiss was a kiss, but even if it was true, he did not have to say it aloud! Didn't he know that saying it would make her even more embarrassed?

Although Xiao Wu complained inwardly, for some reason, she felt incredibly sweet inside.

Could it be that I like Brother Wu Xing too? That I like being held in his arms and kissed by him???

Completely Disappointed

Thinking this, Xiao Wu's heart pounded like a startled deer, and her earlobes turned faintly red.

Were her lips really that sweet? But Brother Wu Xing tasted good too. Was this what kissing felt like?

However, just then, a chilling voice rang out, interrupting Xiao Wu's thoughts.

"I'm going to kill you!" Tang San roared. Killing intent surged into the sky as he attacked Wu Xing without hesitation.

He could no longer care about anything else. If he remained indifferent, then he would truly be a cuckolded turtle.

Startled by the roar behind her, Xiao Wu turned around and saw Tang San charging toward them. Her expression changed, and she immediately spread her arms, shielding Wu Xing.

"Tang San, what are you doing?!" Xiao Wu shouted.

Seeing Xiao Wu standing before Wu Xing, Tang San's expression changed. He hurriedly stopped his attack, his eyes nearly splitting with fury. "Xiao Wu, move aside!"

"No!" Xiao Wu answered firmly, her attitude resolute.

At the same time, the Shrek group, who had originally been watching Tang San's direction, were startled by his roar and hurried over without delay.

"Little San, what is going on? What are you trying to do?" Seeing Tang San's attacking posture and Xiao Wu's firm stance before Wu Xing, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened.

Although he also wanted to get rid of Wu Xing, it could not be done here. It was obvious that Wu Xing had gained some favor with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Was Tang San trying to make his image fall to rock bottom again? Was he not afraid that he would never be able to win them back?

Little San, little San. He had not been this impulsive before, so why could he not keep calm at all now?

Of course, Yu Xiaogang did not know what Tang San had seen that had enraged him so much that he was willing to attack on the spot.

Dai Mubai and the others were no exception. Tang San had merely come over to check on Xiao Wu, so why had he suddenly declared that he wanted to kill Wu Xing?

Naturally, Tang San could not tell them the reason.

If Wu Xing had kissed Xiao Wu, he could have said it. But Xiao Wu had taken the initiative, so he could only bury the matter in his heart.

For the first time, Tang San felt utterly stifled and miserable. His internal organs seemed to churn, yet there was absolutely nothing he could do.

He could only glare viciously at Wu Xing, using that to express the fury in his heart.

Seeing Tang San burning with rage yet powerless to do anything, Wu Xing felt incomparably pleased. After this, that little bastard would probably be left with a lifelong shadow.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang sighed helplessly, then said, "Since nothing has happened, everyone should prepare for the match."

He did not tell Wu Xing to leave either. He had to maintain his image as a great master and could not appear too biased toward Tang San.

Hearing this, Tang San loosened his clenched fists and said sharply, "Shrek Academy is about to compete. Please leave and stop disrupting our training."

Knowing that now was not the time to act, he could only suppress his anger for the moment and let the other man jump around for a few more days.

Yet Wu Xing's next words nearly made him lose control.

"I came to see Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhu Qing. What does that have to do with you? If they don't welcome me, I'll leave on my own." Wu Xing answered calmly.

"You!" Tang San nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. This guy truly had skin as thick as a wall.

Of course, what made him want to cough up blood even more had yet to come. After speaking, Wu Xing looked toward Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhu Qing and asked, "I'd like to stay and watch your match training. Am I welcome?"

"If Brother Wu Xing wants to stay, then Xiao Wu naturally welcomes him." Xiao Wu would certainly not refuse. As for Tang San's thoughts, she would not consider them at all.

Brother Wu Xing had said they needed more contact, since that would help with the rewards. If it helped with the rewards, then there would be a greater chance of reviving her mother sooner.

"Brother Wu Xing, Rongrong welcomes you with applause." Ning Rongrong's face was full of joy as she welcomed him.

She wished Wu Xing could stay by her side. That way, she would have more time to play exciting games.

As the little witch, after several rounds of games, she had discovered that she especially liked this kind of thrill. It made her entire body feel excited, as though she had awakened some sort of talent.

Although Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, she nodded as well. She actually had something she wanted to discuss with Wu Xing, but with everyone present, she was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Seeing the three girls agree, Dai Mubai and the others had no choice but to hope Tang San would not do anything foolish again.

Of course, they were all quite curious about how this guy had gotten to know Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhu Qing.

Seeing everyone silently accept it, Tang San's face darkened. Dai Mubai and Oscar were truly idiots. Did they not know that having an outsider around meant there was a crisis?

Especially Ning Rongrong—Oscar, had he not noticed that her attitude toward that guy was excessively warm?

Was he not afraid that the girl he liked would become that guy's woman?

Oscar was certainly afraid, but he was even more afraid of making Rongrong angry, so he could only pretend not to see it.

Tang San clenched his fists viciously several times before looking away and casting a pleading gaze at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang naturally understood the look Tang San gave him, but he could not do that, so he could only ignore it.

Seeing his teacher ignore him, Tang San's lips twitched. Dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang began to grow in his heart as well.

In his view, his teacher only needed to say one word to make that guy get lost, yet he had done nothing. Could it be that his teacher valued that man's talent and had abandoned him instead?

With that thought, Tang San's expression became even gloomier.

He had not expected that, at such a crucial moment, every one of them would be unreliable. They all acted as though it had nothing to do with them. And they still called themselves the Seven Monsters, united as one? Now it seemed like nothing more than a joke.

Amid Tang San's immense frustration, Wu Xing successfully blended into the group.
