Xiao Wu Was Frightened—There Was Actually a Titled Douluo Nearby!

At that moment, Xiao Wu held a carrot, yet she could not bring it to her mouth no matter what.

Her body was stiff as a stone, her face deathly pale, and cold sweat streamed down her forehead.

Because she had seen the final passage in the diary.

[But if I remembered correctly, Tang Hao was secretly following them. If Tang San truly couldn't defeat the Mandala Snake later on, he would probably step in.]

[After all, Tang Hao was the youngest Titled Douluo known publicly on the continent, bearing the title Haotian!]

[He wouldn't be foolish enough to let Tang San absorb a Ten-Year Soul Ring. The age of a Soul Ring determined a Soul Master's upper limit to a certain extent.]

[If the first Soul Ring was a White Soul Ring, then the upper limit would basically be locked. For anyone else, they could never become Titled Douluo in this lifetime, Even If they possessed Innate Full Soul Power!]

[Although Tang Hao said he was entrusting Tang San to Yu Xiaogang and even gave him Spirit Hall's Honorary Elder token, he had still been watching Tang San from the shadows throughout those six years at Nuoding Academy.]

[Perhaps he had left midway through, but if he were to leave for an extended period, it would probably only be after Tang San went to Shrek Academy.]

Clang!

The carrot in Xiao Wu's hand fell onto the plate with a loud noise, but she could not care less.

"There's a Titled Douluo near Nuoding Academy?"

Xiao Wu felt a chill shoot from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

Why would a Titled Douluo appear in a small city like this?!

If Tang Hao had been watching from the shadows all along, didn't that mean her True Form had long since been exposed beneath the gaze of a Titled Douluo?!

"It's over, it's over!"

"I walked right into the trap!"

Xiao Wu looked around in terror, as though terrifying eyes lurked in the air around her, staring fixedly at her—a "walking Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone Set."

"Calm down! Xiao Wu, you need to calm down!"

Xiao Wu's mood had plunged straight to rock bottom. Even the carrots no longer smelled appetizing.

Then, Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Lin Yuan, and a powerful Survival Instinct suddenly surged within her.

She had yet to avenge her Mom. She could not die yet!

"That pervert Lin Yuan knows all this, yet he can still eat so calmly. He even dared to release his Martial Soul and spar with Tang San just now. He must have some trump card!"

So, her only way out now was to cling tightly to Lin Yuan.

Perhaps the Diary Copy would even reward her with a solution to this problem?

Xiao Wu's little movements all fell into Lin Yuan's eyes.

Naturally, he had deliberately written this matter into the diary.

That way, Xiao Wu would restrain herself a little and understand that if she wanted to survive, the best way was to rely on him.

Or stay around him more often and see whether she could obtain any rewards from the system.

Of course, he currently had no way to deal with Tang Hao.

But he was skilled and bold.

As long as he did not have any particularly intense conflict with Tang San, and merely interacted with him normally—even subtly showing his disgust toward Spirit Hall.

How do you think Tang Hao would react?

Tang Hao hated Spirit Hall, and he, Lin Yuan, also hated Spirit Hall. The enemy of one's enemy was a friend!

Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls. If he wanted to take revenge on Spirit Hall in the future, he would need a team of talented people.

And Lin Yuan happened to fit perfectly!

As for being a little closer to Xiao Wu?

It was not actually much of a problem.

After all, unless Xiao Wu was willing to sacrifice herself to Tang San, Tang Hao could only make a move against her after Tang San reached Soul Sage or even Soul Douluo.

Why not keep her captive?

Because he did not have that much time. As long as he could confirm that Xiao Wu and Tang San would most likely act together in the future, Tang Hao would not bother with so much.

Instead, he would let Tang San develop freely.

Besides, he had the system. The system would definitely give him something to save his life.

It was only the first day. Tang Hao had not noticed anything yet, so he would not be so impatient to make a move.

As for whether the system would give rewards to the characters who possessed Diary Copies?

Did that even need asking?

Lin Yuan was certain that there was One hundred percent chance of it!

Still, he did not particularly care about that.

After all, they were all his own people. Giving them rewards was equivalent to improving their Self-preservation abilities, so they would not be left too far behind by him.

Besides, with the diary rules in place, could those people with Diary Copies possibly attack him?

If they were careless and violated the diary rules, not only would the rewards be taken back, even their memories would be reclaimed.

Xiao Wu: Big Bad Guy, and you still say you're not a pervert?

The women: We merely possess Diary Copies, yet you already see us as possessions in your pocket?

Lin Yuan said, "A graceful lady is a gentleman's desire."

He had already transmigrated. If he did not get himself some beautiful women, wouldn't this transmigration have been for nothing?

As for whether they were mere pretty faces, Lin Yuan did not care.

He already had the system. His own strength would definitely rise quickly. Could he really expect the other party to take a blade for him?

Even someone like Ning Rongrong, who had a sect backing her, was not someone he would care too much about.

Having it was merely a bonus.

Not having it did not matter either.

After all, what he wanted was the person, not the sect behind her.

With the system, even a pretty face could be elevated.

What Lin Yuan cared about first were their looks, then whether he could straighten out their Worldview.

If he could straighten them out, why not take them in?

If he could not, or if they even disgusted him, then he would not be able to bring himself to do it.

Lin Yuan looked at Xiao Wu, whose little face had lost its rosy color, and knowingly asked as he reached out to touch her forehead. "What's wrong? Are you suddenly feeling unwell?"

Xiao Wu did not avoid Lin Yuan's touch.

The instant his warm palm covered her forehead, she actually felt a trace of long-lost safety.

It was as if she had finally found shelter from the wind in a raging storm.

"N-No..."

Xiao Wu shook her head desperately. Her large, watery eyes were slightly moist, making her look pitiful and moving enough to make people want to cherish her—or bully her.

"I don't know either. I just suddenly feel a little cold. After we finish eating, can we go back to the dormitory together?"

Seeing the somewhat frightened Xiao Wu, Lin Yuan secretly laughed. It seemed the effect had been achieved.

Still, he felt that he might have gone a little too far. He hated seeing people cry the most.

Unless he was the one who had made them cry.

"Fine."

Lin Yuan stood up, walked over to Xiao Wu, and gently rubbed her head, messing up her previously neat scorpion braid.

"Come on. Let's go back to the dormitory and rest."

Xiao Wu felt a little embarrassed, her face completely red as she said, "I-I'm a little weak in the legs..."

This was too embarrassing!

A dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had actually been frightened so badly that she could not even walk!

Lin Yuan looked at her pitiful appearance and sighed helplessly.

"You're really troublesome."

His words were disdainful, but his body was honest.

He turned around, crouched down halfway, and patted his shoulder.

"Get on."
