Ah Rou's Lesson for Xiao Wu

Under Ah Rou's gaze, Xiao Wu's figure gradually emerged from the silvery-white glow.

The moment she landed and caught her first glimpse of Ah Rou—

Xiao Wu burst into tears and leaped in front of Ah Rou, clinging desperately to the person she had longed to see day and night.

Ah Rou gently stroked Xiao Wu as she held her, her eyes overflowing with affection.

She could imagine how devastated Xiao Wu would have been after myself from another world died.

But that was probably limited to the period when she was still in the Star Dou Great Forest. Judging by what she did after entering human society—

This child had likely thrown the matter of avenging her completely out of her mind.

No wonder she would later do something as disgraceful as betraying the Soul Beasts.

But today, she would personally correct every part of that future that had strayed from the right path.

She would fulfill the duties of a mother that myself from another world had failed to fulfill.

After Xiao Wu's emotions calmed, she looked up at the face she had missed so dearly.

She saw her mother's loving gaze gradually turn stern.

She had only seen that look in the past after causing enormous trouble, right before receiving a vicious beating.

Her heart tightened. She glanced to the side, and her slender body suddenly trembled.

Beside them stood a large basin of water, with a long whip soaking in pungent medicinal liquid.

At the sight, Xiao Wu swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice,

"Mom... Mom, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and rubbed against Ah Rou, trying to rekindle Ah Rou's maternal affection by acting cute.

But that very look only made Ah Rou even more certain that Xiao Wu needed a lesson in love.

Such an adorable child absolutely could not end up creating that kind of... unforgettable scene.

Ah Rou's gaze became incomparably sharp. She grabbed Xiao Wu as she tried to back away and pulled out the whip drenched in medicine.

"Xiao Wu, it's not that Mommy truly wants to hit you. When it hurts your body, it pains my heart. Mommy is doing this so you can reflect on your actions."

"B-But... I don't know what I did wrong!" Xiao Wu's face was nearly green with fright. She clearly had not done anything.

Shouldn't this have been a heartwarming reunion between mother and daughter? How had things suddenly taken such a turn?

"It's all right, Xiao Wu. You can buy a detailed plot summary of Douluo Dalu 1 to 3 and take your time learning about it.

I'll allow you to reflect on your mistakes while receiving your lesson. Once you've finished reflecting, Mommy's lesson will be complete as well."

Ordinary methods were already useless against Xiao Wu's Love Brain behavior.

They had to use heavy measures. Only through a dual lesson of body and mind could she be set back on the right path.

Xiao Wu still wanted to struggle, but Ah Rou had already made her move.

She pressed Xiao Wu onto the bed with one hand, the long whip in her other hand dancing through the air.

For a time, the entire inn echoed with the miserable cries of Kill Rabbit.

A short while later, Ah Rou walked out of the room looking refreshed.

She was not worried that anything would happen to Xiao Wu. As a Soul Emperor, she had complete confidence in her control over the force she used.

Besides, she had spent a thousand points on that medicinal solution.

It was a miraculous medicine for treating external injuries. The wounds from the beating had already healed by thirty percent before she left the room.

By this time tomorrow, Xiao Wu would probably be a lively little rabbit again.

Changing Xiao Wu's fate had earned her fifty thousand points. She could use them on Xiao Wu to make this lesson more memorable.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Wu had no idea that her mother was not planning to beat her just once.

Having just watched the story of her entire life, especially that hellish resurrection scene, she truly wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

She had already become wary of Tang San because his father was a Titled Douluo.

Now that she had watched her own life without the influence of her Love Brain—

She completely understood that Tang San had only wanted to trick her into sacrificing herself.

The scene of Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation in particular made her realize that Tang San had absolutely been plotting this for a long time.

He had just happened to reach his level cap, just happened to lead Spirit Hall's hunting party to find her, and now he had even caused her to receive a beating for no reason.

At that moment, Tang San had entered her kill list, second only to Bibi Dong.

Feeling the burning pain from her backside, she sucked in a breath, cursed Tang San a few times, and then fell asleep from exhaustion.

Tang Hao of the Main World finally discovered at this time that Xiao Wu had vanished from Nuoding Academy.

Panic rose in his heart. He flew around the entirety of Nuoding City several times, yet failed to find even the slightest trace of Xiao Wu.

That was impossible. With him guarding Nuoding Academy, he should have noticed the instant Xiao Wu tried to leave.

Yet the reality was that Xiao Wu had silently disappeared right under his nose.

His expression darkened. No longer caring about concealing himself, he went straight to Yu Xiaogang.

"Yu Xiaogang, take Xiao San and head to Shrek Academy in Suotuo City immediately. Hurry."

Yu Xiaogang was instantly puzzled by those words.

What kind of madness was Tang Hao acting up with now?

After losing the previous battle, Tang Hao had clearly been preparing to leave Nuoding City overnight with Tang San and head for Shrek, all to avoid fulfilling the bet.

But Tang Hao had suddenly appeared and laid down a clear condition.

If they wanted to leave, they had to persuade Xiao Wu to follow them to Shrek without any suspicion whatsoever.

That baffling condition had nearly worried Yu Xiaogang's hair white.

Fortunately, his disciple Tang San seemed interested in that little girl, and since she also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he had gritted his teeth and agreed.

Though people had been secretly criticizing him behind his back every day afterward—

If he could take away another child with Innate Full Soul Power, it would all be worth it.

Tang San was just about to persuade Xiao Wu to leave with them, so why was Tang Hao suddenly demanding that they leave?

Wasn't he treating Yu Xiaogang like a monkey?

But Tang Hao did not care about Yu Xiaogang's feelings. From the moment Wu Xian had abruptly vanished before him, he had intended to make Yu Xiaogang take Tang San away.

In the end, however, greed had prevailed. He truly could not bear to give up Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

That was why he had been willing to waste time and risk being discovered, waiting for Tang San and the others to persuade Xiao Wu.

But now that Xiao Wu had already run away, there was no point in staying here any longer.

He had originally disdained explaining himself to Yu Xiaogang, but after a moment of silence, he still said, "Xiao Wu has already been taken away by her own kind. There's no need to waste any more time. Leave quickly."

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but all his hard work of the past several days had come to nothing.

Did that not mean he had endured all those days of scolding for nothing?

Watching his idol disappear before his eyes, Yu Xiaogang sighed and began packing his belongings.

Not long after, Tang San, who had been blacksmithing in the city, suddenly felt as though he had lost something. His heart felt strangely empty.

He immediately asked for leave and returned to Nuoding Academy.

But after searching several times, he still could not find Xiao Wu.

In his anxiety, he hurried to Yu Xiaogang's office. "Teacher, I can't find Xiao Wu."
