Tang San vs. Xiao Wu

At that moment, Tang San's gaze seemed drawn by a magnet, and he could not tear his eyes away from Xiao Wu's stunning face.

His eyes widened like bronze bells, Xiao Wu's delicate features reflected in his pupils. To him, it was a beauty that transcended her age.

It was as though it had been destined! Tang San found himself somewhat captivated!

Seeing this, Wang Sheng secretly grew anxious. He was afraid that this new boss would make a fool of himself because he did not understand Nuoding Academy's unusual rules.

So he quickly leaned close to Tang San's ear and reminded him in as low a voice as possible, "Boss, do you know that Nuoding Academy allows boys and girls to live together?"

"We're all innocent children, so the dormitories do not separate boys from girls."

"I heard that only at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy do they strictly separate male and female dormitories."

At this moment, the other children nearby also noticed the scene. Seeing even the imposing boss from earlier so mesmerized by Xiao Wu's beauty, they naturally could not resist either.

They began whispering among themselves, marveling that the little girl's looks were truly rare in this world.

As for Xiao Wu, she had just finished speaking when she saw the two children in front of her standing there as if petrified, without any reaction at all.

Meanwhile, the boys in the dormitory stared straight at her with burning eyes, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Wu's little hands instantly clenched into fists. Her rosy cheeks flushed red from being ignored, as though blood might drip from them.

Her brows furrowed, a flash of anger appearing in her eyes as she shouted:

"Hey!! You two, I'm talking to you! Stop dawdling and come at me together! Don't waste my precious time! My time, Xiao Wu's time, is valuable. It's not for you to stand there daydreaming!"

Xiao Wu's words revealed her unyielding personality and strong self-respect.

Xiao Wu felt somewhat unwilling and irritated. She had her own plans, after all. She still wanted to ask the handsome guy standing in the back for his name!! She wanted to show herself off properly!

These boys actually dared to disregard her, making her feel that her status in this new environment had been challenged. This was not a situation she wanted to see.

As Xiao Wu's voice fell, Tang San and Wang Sheng finally snapped out of it, recovering from their shock at Xiao Wu's beauty.

Wang Sheng shot Xiao Wu a sidelong glance, then quietly egged Tang San on, "Boss! Look at how arrogant she is. She actually wants to challenge the two of us alone! We can't show weakness. We need to give her a lesson and let her know that people from Nuoding Academy aren't easy to mess with!"

Hearing this, the corners of Tang San's mouth lifted slightly into a teasing smile.

He gave Wang Sheng a sideways look, a hint of disdain flashing through his eyes, and said calmly:

"You? Forget it."

"With strength like yours, don't join in the fun. I can handle something this minor alone."

With that thought, Tang San lightly stepped forward, preparing to face this pretty little girl by himself.

Although he believed in the gentlemanly principle that a good man did not hit women, when faced with Xiao Wu's challenge, he wanted to show off his strength in front of this beautiful girl. At the same time, he wanted to see just how capable Xiao Wu was, this girl whose beauty had struck him as unbelievable at first sight.

A hint of amusement appeared in Tang San's eyes. He stood tall, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, though his fingers were slightly curled, ready to respond to Xiao Wu's attack at any moment.

His expression was calm, but he kept sizing up the little beauty before him.

He was now thinking about how to face this sudden challenge with both grace and force before a pretty girl!

After all, this was another perfect chance to show off!

But just as Tang San was preparing to accept Xiao Wu's challenge,

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

He caught sight of a familiar figure that sent a chill through his heart!

His eyes passed over Xiao Wu and instantly fixed on the person standing there with his arms crossed, lightly leaning against the doorframe—Blade!

In that instant, tumultuous waves surged through Tang San's heart, all kinds of emotions tangling together in chaos. He was filled with shock and uncertainty. Why was this lunatic here!?

Countless thoughts raced through Tang San's mind. The school life he had imagined should have been peaceful, progressing step by step according to his plans.

He had not expected Blade to neither get lost in the academy nor cause any major trouble, but simply appear before him without a sound.

The moment he saw Blade's cold, merciless face and that teasing expression as he looked at him, the confidence Tang San had just recovered in front of all these little brats deflated instantly like a balloon pricked by a needle.

Before Blade, Tang San knew he was like a little bird that could never lift its head. Facing this lunatic who haunted him like a shadow, he felt incomparably stifled and defeated.

Tang San gritted his teeth so hard that he nearly drew blood. He hated this Blade who would not leave him alone to the core.

The irritation and helplessness made his expression exceptionally ugly, a trace of irrepressible fury and fear flashing in his eyes.

He knew that before this person, whether in strength or mentality, he was far from being a match. That realization sent his mood plummeting to the bottom.

"Hey, hey! What are you dawdling for? Are you scared? I'm tired of waiting already!!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's sharp and provocative voice rang out. Her slender finger pointed straight at Tang San's nose as a rapid-fire barrage of complaints poured out like a downpour.

In her clear eyes, the changes in Tang San's expression looked especially false.

One moment, he wore a sly, ill-intentioned smile, as though he were hiding something. The next, his face was so grim that it seemed ready to drip water.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu could not help but pause, the contempt on her face overflowing.

So this guy's thoughts are so complicated. He isn't pure at all!

Xiao Wu thought to herself. At the thought of sharing a dormitory with such a scheming little brat, an inexplicable wave of nausea rose in her heart.

She could not help turning back to glance at the handsome guy behind her. His dissatisfied look toward Tang San suddenly seemed to have a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Xiao Wu thought that his displeasure toward Tang San had not been without reason after all. It was entirely understandable!

Xiao Wu clenched her little fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. She glared fiercely at Tang San, her eyes full of provocation and displeasure.

"Hurry up! I heard everything you were saying earlier!"

"Since you're the boss here, don't tell me you can't even follow your most basic rules!?"

Her voice was firm and powerful, every word conveying her displeasure and challenge toward this seemingly scheming little boy.

Hearing Xiao Wu's urging, Tang San's gaze refocused on her.

As the dormitory boss, he could not lose his composure before such a little beauty, much less lose the upper hand!

It seemed Blade merely wanted to watch him make a fool of himself. After all, this little beauty's aura was somewhat unusual—she seemed rather strong!

Tang San thought Blade had naturally noticed that, so he wanted to use this little beauty to beat him up and embarrass him!

But how could Tang San possibly let Blade get his way?

He took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. Soon, his expression returned to calm. Like a true gentleman, he spoke to Xiao Wu with perfect composure, pretending to be extremely polite:

"Not at all. From what I heard just now, you're Xiao Wu, right?"

He nodded slightly and continued, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tang San, and my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. What about you?"

Tang San's expression looked exceptionally sincere and serious, his eyes deep as though they could see through people's hearts.

For a transmigrator like him, concealing his emotions was second nature.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu gave a disdainful "Hmph." Her nostrils flared slightly, showing that she had no interest in Tang San's introduction. Still, she answered, "Martial soul: rabbit!"

Xiao Wu's words were simple and forceful, fighting spirit flickering in her eyes.

"Come on! I won't hold back!"
