The Path to Death!

Those scraps gave Tang San a familiar feeling.

"This is..." Seeing the state of his bed, Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression darkened!

Even the joy of becoming a Soul Grandmaster was washed away.

No wonder it felt familiar. The things scattered across the floor were all his.

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, Tang San tried his best not to suspect her. How could she have done something like this? He numbed himself with that thought.

Then he remembered that when he had left, Ye Qiu had been the only one still here, and he had even taken a jab at him.

That's right, it had to be him! It couldn't have been Xiao Wu. As if he had grasped the truth, he loudly questioned Wang Sheng.

"Wang Sheng, who did this? Was it Ye Qiu?!"

Yet before Wang Sheng could give the answer he hoped for, Xiao Wu's words directly shattered the last shred of luck in his heart.

"Hmph, Xiao Qiu would never do something like this! I did it!" Xiao Wu stood up and stepped directly in front of Tang San.

"Ahaha..." Tang San forced a smile, still struggling desperately. "Xiao Wu, stop joking. It must have been that guy Ye Qiu, right? Don't worry, even if he did it, I wouldn't do anything to him..."

"Enough! I already said it was me! It was Sister Xiao Wu—I personally threw your things away!"

Tang San's words were cut off. Xiao Wu's voice seemed to turn into a barrage of icy slaps, wildly striking his face.

The fake smile froze on his face. He fell silent, lowered his head, and his gaze turned gloomy. "Why? Xiao Wu, why did you do that?"

"Sister Xiao Wu already said that no one was allowed to sleep there!"

"Then what about Ye Qiu?! Why can he stay beside you?" Tang San widened his eyes and pointed at Ye Qiu's spot on the other side.

"Xiao Qiu is different from you." Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San's somewhat twisted expression and said flatly.

"Heh." Tang San sneered. "He is different indeed. He's just trash who isn't even a Spirit Master! He only knows how to hide behind you, and he even takes your money!"

Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment. She felt she should make things clear. She knew how Tang San felt about her, but she would not accept it!

"I think you've got it wrong. I was the one who wanted to stay beside Xiao Qiu, not him! I was also the one who stood in front of him. I'm willing to protect him, and I gave him the Gold Soul Coins willingly too."

"Enough, stop talking!" Tang San finally snapped and roared.

All this time, he had obeyed Xiao Wu's every word, willingly acted as her lackey, and spent all his free time keeping her company!

Yet he still could not compare to Ye Qiu, who barely seemed to care about her? Tang San became somewhat hysterical, his eyes bloodshot.

"Xiao Wu, do you still not understand my feelings? How could Ye Qiu possibly compare to me? You and I both have Innate Full Soul Power, while he only has Innate Soul Power at level one!"

"Mm, perhaps you're right. But none of that matters. I like him. That's enough."

Faced with Tang San's relentless persistence, Xiao Wu merely answered calmly, as though stating an established fact.

Only she knew that Ye Qiu's Martial Soul was not some level-one Innate Soul Power trash. She believed that Ye Qiu's future achievements would not be beneath Tang San's!

Crack! Tang San clenched his fists tightly, killing intent surging in his heart as his hatred for Ye Qiu reached its peak!

He said nothing more, silently bending down to gather his belongings.

Xiao Wu watched coldly. She sensed the venom in Tang San's eyes, then silently went to Ye Qiu's spot and waited for her Xiao Qiu to return.

Tang San kept part of his attention on Xiao Wu as he lowered his head. Seeing her actions, his face—already darkened from years of blacksmithing—grew even darker!

Ye Qiu... you have chosen the path to death!

Outside Dormitory Seven.

A pair of weathered eyes watched everything happening inside from the shadows.

In his eyes, the phantom of a Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit glowing with red light hovered above Xiao Wu's head, while cold light flickered in his gaze.

The sun sank below the horizon, leaving only the lingering glow of sunset as red clouds filled the sky.

Tired, Ye Qiu returned to the dormitory.

"Click!" The moment he entered, Ye Qiu saw Xiao Wu sitting in his spot.

"Xiao Qiu." Xiao Wu saw him as well, concern written across her face.

"Xiao Wu, you're finally back..." Ye Qiu walked straight toward her, completely unaware of the changes around him.

"Ye Qiu, stop right there!" Tang San's furious voice suddenly rang out. Ye Qiu turned to look at him, somewhat bewildered.

"Tang San, what are you trying to do?" Xiao Wu immediately moved in front of Ye Qiu as well. She was afraid he might suddenly attack!

"Are you going to keep hiding behind Xiao Wu forever? If you're a man, fight me! Whoever loses will leave Xiao Wu forever!" Tang San's gaze passed over Xiao Wu and fixed directly on Ye Qiu.

"What are you... huh?" Only then did Ye Qiu notice that the spot beside Xiao Wu had been cleared out, while Tang San's belongings were piled messily where they had been before.

Taking a closer look at Tang San, Ye Qiu saw that his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze fierce, and his expression cold.

Looks like something unpleasant happened. Ye Qiu formed a rough guess. This had happened a little earlier than he had expected.

"Don't agree to him!" Xiao Wu grabbed Ye Qiu's hand and shook her head at him.

"Ye Qiu! Are you still trying to run away? You—"

"Tang San! Enough! Xiao Qiu won't fight you. If anyone's fighting, I will!" As she spoke, she was about to charge at Tang San.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu stopped Xiao Wu in time.

A knot of pent-up frustration lodged in Tang San's chest. The more Xiao Wu cared about Ye Qiu, the more jealous and crazed he became!

"Tang San, Xiao Wu isn't some object. I won't use her as a wager. Give up on that idea!" With things having come this far, Ye Qiu no longer held back. After speaking coldly, he took the little hand beside him and left that spot.

Seeing Ye Qiu ignore him, evil thoughts surged in Tang San's heart!

"You trash! Die!"

Two Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath Tang San's feet, one of them flashing with light.

"First Spirit Ability, Entangle!"

Blue Silver Grass abruptly burst from the ground of Dormitory Seven, like several venomous snakes lunging toward Ye Qiu!

"Ah!" Wang Sheng and the others were horrified by his sudden attack!

"Tang San, how dare you!" Fortunately, Xiao Wu had remained on guard. She immediately moved to block the attack.

To avoid hurting Xiao Wu, Tang San had no choice but to control the Blue Silver Grass and steer it aside.

But Ye Qiu clearly felt several spores fall onto him as the Blue Silver Grass swept past!

Sure enough, what followed was Blue Silver Grass's second Spirit Ability!

"Second Spirit Ability! Parasite!" Tang San shouted coldly. Xiao Wu's protection of Ye Qiu did not make him stop; his heart held only rage.

Pfft! Several stalks of Blue Silver Grass suddenly sprouted from Ye Qiu's body, binding him tightly.

"Xiao Qiu!" Xiao Wu knew that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass carried poison, so she did not dare waste a moment!

"Second Spirit Ability, Charm!" Her Martial Soul possessed her in an instant. A fluffy tail appeared below her waist, her ears stood high, and red light filled her eyes.

Tang San, already obsessed with her, immediately lost his senses and stood there in a daze.

"Tang San! You dared hurt Xiao Qiu..." Xiao Wu showed no mercy. To her, anyone who laid a hand on Ye Qiu had chosen the path to death!

She also knew full well how dangerous Tang San was. She could not handle those strange Hidden Weapons of his either.

She swiftly closed in.
