Xiao Wu Keeps Her Appointment, Tang San's Imagination Runs Wild!

Tang San's heart instantly rose to his throat.

The footsteps were light, coming from the stairs.

Tang San recognized that familiar rhythm the moment he heard it. It was Xiao Wu.

Tang San's body tensed as he held his breath and listened to the footsteps draw closer, step by step.

The footsteps stopped before the room next door.

"Knock, knock, knock." Someone was knocking.

The door opened, and Su Bai's somewhat lazy voice rang out.

"You're here?"

Then Tang San heard Xiao Wu's slightly nervous voice.

"Mm..."

Yet the door did not close immediately.

Su Bai's voice came again. This time, it was neither loud nor soft, yet it clearly penetrated the wooden wall.

"Xiao Wu, does Tang San know you came to see me tonight?"

Tang San's breathing stopped.

He had heard it. Su Bai had definitely said that on purpose for him to hear.

Xiao Wu's voice was filled with confusion as she gently shook her head.

"No. Brother San is Brother San, and I'm me."

"Why would I tell Brother San?"

"Bang." The door closed.

Tang San felt a chill pour down from the top of his head and shoot straight to the soles of his feet.

"Brother San is Brother San, and I'm me."

Those words were like a needle, viciously piercing Tang San's heart.

Over six years, from Nuoding City to Shrek, he had always regarded Xiao Wu as his little sister, even as... his future partner.

Yet now, Xiao Wu had said such a thing.

An overwhelming sense of loss and betrayal instantly swallowed Tang San whole.

"Xiao Wu... my Xiao Wu..."

Tang San muttered to himself, unable to accept this reality.

He abruptly rolled out of bed, went barefoot, and pressed his ear tightly against the cold wall.

Tang San was going to eavesdrop.

He wanted to know what was happening inside.

Inside the room.

Su Bai closed the door and turned to look at the somewhat uneasy Xiao Wu.

The girl wore pink clothes, her long Scorpion Braid hanging down her back as her large eyes curiously surveyed the room.

The room was simple: one bed, one table, one chair. That was all.

"Brother Su Bai, you..."

Xiao Wu wanted to smell his aura and ask whether he was an Auspicious Beast.

Su Bai reached out and gently touched the rabbit-ear ornament atop her head. Then his fingers slid down along her hair and onto her silky Scorpion Braid.

Xiao Wu's body stiffened, and her cheeks grew hot.

In the past, Tang San was the only person she had ever been this close to.

But now, Xiao Wu no longer had that strange feeling toward Tang San.

Su Bai's aura, however, made her heart race.

"Xiao Wu, you're very beautiful. Your braid is beautiful too." Su Bai's voice was soft.

Xiao Wu nervously twisted the corner of her clothes, her heart fluttering wildly.

She felt as though she could barely breathe. Her body took a slight step back, but because she was nervous, a faint whimper escaped her throat.

"Brother Su Bai... no... don't..."

She wanted to say, don't get so close, but when the words came out, they sounded soft and powerless.

It had the sort of feeling that would excite a criminal!

Next door to Su Bai's room.

Tang San had pressed his entire body against the wall.

The wall's soundproofing was poor, and he could hear the indistinct conversation inside.

Then he heard Xiao Wu's faint whimper.

Immediately after came a few intermittent, slightly trembling words.

"...No... don't!!"

Boom!

Those words exploded in Tang San's mind like a thunderclap.

Blood rushed straight to his head.

"Su Bai! What are you doing to my Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull!

The Soul Power within his body began to surge uncontrollably.

Anger, jealousy, Killing Intent—all those emotions intertwined at that moment, nearly burning away what remained of his reason.

No!

He could not keep listening like this!

He had to rush in! He had to kill Su Bai!

Tang San abruptly turned around. He no longer leaned against the wall to eavesdrop. He opened his own door and walked out.

No lamps were lit in the hallway. Only moonlight spilled through the window, casting mottled shadows across the floor.

Tang San used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his footsteps making no sound at all.

Tang San silently moved to Su Bai's door.

Yet for some reason, he did not push the door open right away.

Tang San pressed his ear against the door.

This time, the sounds from Su Bai's room were much clearer.

For some reason, Tang San felt a familiar thrill of sneaking around... a familiar thrill of sneaking around?

Inside the room.

Su Bai looked at Xiao Wu, whose face was flushed red and who was so embarrassed she seemed ready to burrow into the ground. He was in a pleasant mood.

The Kirin Spirit's perception allowed him to clearly sense the breathing outside the door, suppressed to its very limit.

Tang San couldn't take it already?

The real show had only just begun.

He suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and directly pinned Xiao Wu against the door.

Bang!

Xiao Wu's back slammed solidly into the door, producing a dull thud.

The sudden movement startled her, and she could not help crying out.

"Ah! Brother Su Bai!"

Her voice was full of panic and confusion.

Su Bai lowered his head, moved close to her ear, and softly said something in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Don't move. There's an eavesdropping mouse outside."

His warm breath brushed over Xiao Wu's ear, making her whole body tremble as she went completely limp.

She could feel Su Bai's strong chest, as well as the masculine aura rushing over her.

Her mind went blank.

Outside the door.

Tang San heard everything clearly.

First came that dull impact, sounding like a body hitting the door.

Then came Xiao Wu's terrified scream.

After that, everything fell quiet.

All he could hear was Xiao Wu's hurried breathing and a man's lowered, teasing whisper.

He could not make out what Su Bai was saying, but that no longer mattered.

Tang San's mind had already filled in every scene by itself.

Su Bai had pinned Xiao Wu against the door!

He... he was going to, going to do what to my Xiao Wu!

Tang San's body trembled violently, not from fear, but from extreme rage.

His nails dug deeply into his palms. Blood flowed between his fingers, yet he could not feel the slightest pain.

His heart felt as though an invisible hand had gripped it viciously, hurting so badly that he could not breathe.

Six years.

He and Xiao Wu had been together for six years.

Tang San had watched Xiao Wu grow from an innocent little girl into the graceful young maiden she was today.

He had always believed Xiao Wu belonged to him.

But today, behind this door, everything he had was being mercilessly crushed by the man named Su Bai.

That impact, that scream, were like red-hot brands, deeply searing themselves into his soul.

All alone, Tang San completely imagined every last detail of what was happening in the room.

Would Su Bai, later on...

Against the door, on the table, on the bed, on the floor, in...

Every place Tang San could imagine!

Humiliation!

Endless humiliation!
