Xiao Wu listened to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's advice and felt like her entire life had gone to hell.
Who could have imagined that Tang San, whom she liked so much, was actually an outsider—not even someone from the Douluo Continent.
He looked so young, but in truth, Tang San was an old man who had lived for who knew how many years.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu cried even harder, her heart aching unbearably:
"How could this be? How could it be..."
"Xiao San... no, Tang San isn't even from the Douluo Continent?"
"What does he even feel for me? Is he my older brother, or my uncle?"
"Wuwuwu, how could this be!!"
Xiao Wu was overwhelmed by grief. She did not even know how to continue, nor did she know whether her judgment of Tang San was good or bad, or what choice she should make.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood at the side, feeling rather awkward.
The two continued trying to comfort her:
"It's all right, Xiao Wu. No matter what, at least you've already left Shrek."
"Yeah, and now that you have the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, you at least don't need to worry about your Soul Beast identity being discovered by others in the future."
"Even if Bibi Dong and the others know you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they've never seen you. As long as you change your name, who would know you're the original Xiao Wu?"
"As for Tang San..."
"Uh, well..."
"There are plenty more fish in the sea."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both just young people. They truly had no idea how to comfort her.
The two had been just as miserable earlier. The men matched with them were so disgusting and vile. Who would have thought that Tang San, who looked like the most normal person, was not a normal person either?
Xiao Wu only kept crying and sobbing, completely lacking the bearing of a Soul Master.
At that moment, she was merely a young girl who had been deceived.
Of course, objectively speaking, she had also deceived Tang San. But people only wanted what was good for themselves and did not want what was bad for themselves.
From Xiao Wu's perspective, Tang San was an old man who had deceived her feelings.
Still, because she had loved Tang San after all, and had even plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red for him, Xiao Wu could not fully accept it.
Xiao Wu looked at the two women, seeming confused and harboring other thoughts as she said:
"Rongrong, Zhuqing..."
"The Light Screen also said that Xiao San's father deceived his mother to obtain her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Do you think that's true?"
"Could Xiao San also be doing this for Soul Rings and Soul Bones?"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing froze, deep in thought.
After a moment, Ning Rongrong spoke somewhat awkwardly. "Well, the Light Screen didn't explicitly state what his father's purpose was."
"But if the reality was that Tang San's father really took his mother to Spirit City..."
"Then that would be far too unreasonable. He clearly knew his wife was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet he deliberately took her there."
"To say he had no purpose at all would not be normal human thinking."
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing nodded as well. "That should be the case."
"But Xiao Wu, Tang San is not the same person as his father, and Tang San still doesn't know you're a Soul Beast."
"But what if he finds out later..." Xiao Wu asked listlessly.
"Xiao San could be taught into becoming like that by Yu Xiaogang, which means he'll definitely listen to his elders."
"But what if he listens to his father too?"
"His father would at least find it easier to influence Xiao San than Yu Xiaogang did, right?"
"Ah, well..."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, and both saw worry in the other's eyes.
Come to think of it, that really was possible.
A son followed his father's surname. If Tang San could trust Yu Xiaogang, would he not trust his own biological father?
Xiao Wu also saw the answer in the expressions of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu merely gave a bitter smile, weeping and choking up even more painfully, unable to say anything else.
Within Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at the Light Screen, deep in thought:
"So that's how it was. No wonder Tang Hao specifically brought his wife to Spirit City back then."
"So he wanted his wife to sacrifice herself and obtain a Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
"Tsk, tsk!"
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong found it ridiculous.
She could not help but sneer, "As expected, everyone associated with Shrek is a pack of beasts!"
"Every male student in Shrek is a playboy, and Shrek's teachers are all trash!"
"And the elders of Shrek's students—namely Tang Hao—are just as utterly hypocritical!"
"What a disgusting family. I wonder whether Yue Guan and the others succeeded."
"This Tang San is also from another world. It would be best if he could be captured alive. Perhaps that other world has some special resources..."
"If we conquer that world in the future as well, I wonder whether that would be feasible?"
Bibi Dong was ultimately an ambitious woman. Upon learning that Tang San was a transmigrator, her first thought was not what Tang San would do in the future.
Instead, she had discovered a new world and saw an opportunity to plunder even more resources, making herself stronger.
Bibi Dong felt that she was a genius for thinking of the best way to maximize benefits!
With that thought, she continued watching the Light Screen, hoping it would reveal more useful information.
Then she could gather that information and better set herself upon the road to victory!
In the Light Screen.
[Other than Tang San, an old man whose thoughts were suspected of being lewd toward a child, Xiao Wu herself is also a brain-dead idiot!] [Think about it carefully. Tang San is an old man, but aren't you an old rabbit too?] [You lived for a full 100,000 Years, yet after taking human form, you actually thought you were a six- or seven-year-old little girl and eagerly went to acknowledge an older brother!] [Just thinking about an old woman who lived for 100,000 Years pretending to be young would disgust anyone!] [All that can be said is that although their love is completely fucked up, they are still a good match. They deceived each other, and they were both old cows eating young grass!] [And they have the nerve to call this love? Wasn't it simply each taking what they needed?] [Xiao Wu needed to follow a genius to cultivate and increase her cultivation efficiency, while Tang San needed an obedient wife to maintain his image as a macho man!] [Ever since Nuoding Academy, the two had called each other older brother and younger sister, but what they did was practically no different from ordinary couples. Were they playing incest PLAY here?] [After coming to Shrek, Tang San continued accepting the guidance of that trash Yu Xiaogang, and Xiao Wu was much the same.] [Yet in front of those classmates, the two were clearly practically about to kiss, but they still pretended to be older brother and younger sister, calling each other older brother and younger sister at every turn. Their hypocrisy had reached the extreme!] [Later, when obtaining Soul Rings, she was even more brain-dead among the brain-dead. If you truly liked Tang San, then after having the Titan Giant Ape take you away, why didn't you first restrain Tang San instead of letting him go mad? What if another Soul Beast ate him?] [If you didn't like Tang San, then why pretend to care about him? When you saw Tang San encounter the Man Faced Demon Spider, you were worried sick.] [Why couldn't you have had the Titan Giant Ape knock Tang San unconscious from the start? Don't tell me that a top-tier Soul Beast that had lived for 100,000 Years—the King of the Forest—couldn't even make a Low-level Soul Master faint?] [You ran off with the Titan Giant Ape while Tang San went mad. With one careless move, he could have rushed out and been swallowed by a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. You really had a big heart!]
