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 in and kissed him on the cheek.

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

The girl's lips were like roses kissed by morning dew, gentle yet passionate.

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

The rebounding force of National Arts Transformation Strength—that state where "not even a feather could be added, nor a fly allowed to land"—seemed to have completely failed.

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

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

Meng Yiran's sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

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

Then Ning Rongrong let out a thunderous roar that 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 coquettish 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 Spirit Ring, I'd be the one covered in bloody mist right now... No, I would probably already be a corpse. I've been afraid of pain since I was little."

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

But clearly, Meng Yiran could not possibly have a good impression of Tang San, who had stolen two Spirit Rings from her.

Compared to him, Bai Ge was handsome, gave her a secret manual, and even told her how to judge a Man Faced Demon Spider's age.

Without comparison, there was no harm!

What did it mean to be made to look good by one's peers?

This was a textbook example.

Ning Rongrong fumed helplessly. "So what if you're the Peerless Dragon Snake?

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

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

In all the world, she is the only one who can address Bone Douluo that way. Please give us some face."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Duke inconspicuously took half a step back.

He laughed heartily. "Now that you mention it, this old man remembers. My wife also said that you are Sword Douluo's prized disciple.

If that's the case, you and this little girl could be considered childhood sweethearts. You brat really are lucky."

The 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 a suitable Spirit Beast for their granddaughter so they could leave this place as soon as possible.

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

Bai Ge sneered. "How could it compare to Young Master Dai Mubai? Broad daylight, and you dragged a pair of twin beauties into a couples' hotel to embrace one on each side. Isn't that right?"

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

"Oh? Twins? A couples' hotel? I never would have guessed you were so good at having 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 turned in one direction as his Soul Power suddenly surged.

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

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

Upon seeing 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 rather disheveled at the moment. Her clothes were torn in many places, and her neatly braided scorpion tail had become messy as well.

Yet her complexion was very rosy, and she seemed a few years more mature than before.

"Xiao Wu, you're not dead?" Only after saying it did Oscar realize how unpleasant that sounded.

Xiao Wu said irritably, "Were you hoping I was dead? What happened here? This mist... Heavens, what happened to Xiao San?"

When she saw Tang San within the pale red mist, Xiao Wu's heart instantly clenched. She rushed over in a few quick strides.

She had been sent back by the Titan Giant Ape. Though the Star Dou Great Forest was vast, it was no challenge for the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, to find Shrek Academy's group here.

Only after bringing Xiao Wu nearby did the Titan Giant Ape quietly depart.

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

Xiao Wu cried out, "But how could absorbing a third Spirit Ring make him 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 had over two thousand years of cultivation.

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

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly. "Xiao San has already begun absorbing this Spirit Ring.

There is no possibility of stopping now.

All we can do is hope he can withstand the Spirit Ring's energy impact and survive this ordeal.

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

Tell us what happened first."

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

Before returning, Xiao Wu had naturally prepared her explanation. As she watched Tang San worriedly, she said, "I don't know what happened either.

That Titan Giant Ape grabbed me and ran deeper into the forest. Before it had gone far, a roar like that of a cow seemed to come from somewhere.

The Titan Giant Ape seemed very nervous. It looked at me, threw me aside, and 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. "The Titan Giant Ape threw me down, and before it left, it let out a roar. I only felt the world spin before I passed out.

When I woke up, it was already gone.

The scene was terrifying. At least dozens of Spirit Beasts nearby had been stunned unconscious. The weaker ones had their mouths and noses shaken bloody 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 very frightened at the time. Perhaps my Soul Power increased because the external stimulus was too intense.

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

"That works too?"

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

Xiao Wu wore a lingeringly frightened expression. "I suppose I was lucky to survive. I thought I was definitely going to die.

To keep the surrounding Spirit Beasts from attacking me after they woke up, I had no choice but to kill all the Spirit Beasts nearby that had been stunned unconscious. After absorbing my third Spirit Ring, my strength recovered, and only then did I follow my memories back.

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