You and He Were Childhood Sweethearts? Then What Am I?

Tang San's teeth ground with a creak. Suddenly, he felt as though something was pressing on his head.

In his previous life, Tang San had been an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, enduring countless scornful looks. He had finally managed to secretly learn the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, only to be forced to jump off a cliff.

In this life, he had thought he could take control of his own destiny and protect the people he wanted to protect.

But reality had once again dealt him its heaviest blow.

"Su Bai!"

Tang San let out a soundless roar in his heart.

"You have brought death upon yourself!"

Tang San could no longer endure it.

He would break down the door. He would make Su Bai pay in blood!

With a flick of his right hand, a pitch-black short blade gleaming with a dim light appeared in his palm.

It was a hidden weapon he had forged from ordinary iron from the blacksmith shop, tempered with deadly poison.

One drop of blood, and the throat would be sealed!

Just as Tang San was about to channel his Soul Power and break through the door—

Su Bai's voice sounded from inside the room once more.

This time, his voice was not loud, but it carried a teasing note and came through clearly.

"Xiao Wu, you really are different from other girls."

"Your body... is so soft. Your flexibility is incredible."

Xiao Wu was held in Su Bai's arms with her back against the door, and she was nearly burning up from embarrassment.

Hearing Su Bai's words, she was so ashamed she wished she could disappear. She could only bury her face in Su Bai's chest and protest in a voice as faint as a mosquito's.

"Brother Su Bai... you... don't talk nonsense..."

To Tang San outside the door, that soft, trembling voice that seemed on the verge of tears took on an entirely different meaning.

It sounded like helpless denial after being violated.

Her body... was soft?

Tang San's reason snapped completely.

He hesitated no longer.

"Su Bai! Die!"

With an enraged roar, Tang San instantly activated Mysterious Jade Hand. Soul Power gathered in his left hand as he slammed his palm fiercely into the wooden door.

"Boom!"

How could a flimsy wooden door withstand the furious blow of a Soul Grandmaster?

The door shattered into pieces, splinters flying everywhere.

Wrapped in overwhelming Killing Intent, Tang San charged into the room.

The poisoned short blade in his hand flashed with deadly cold light beneath the moonlight as it stabbed straight toward Su Bai's heart.

Yet the sight before him left him completely stunned.

Su Bai and Xiao Wu's clothes were perfectly intact.

Su Bai had merely held Xiao Wu by the door. Although their posture was intimate, it was nothing like the indecent scene Tang San had imagined.

Startled by the loud crash, Xiao Wu raised her head. When she saw Tang San's bloodshot eyes and murderous expression, she was frightened as well.

"B-Brother San?"

Su Bai reacted even faster.

The instant Tang San broke through the door, he had already noticed him.

Rather than meeting the attack head-on, golden light flashed beneath his feet as he activated his Third Spirit Ability, Kirin Soars.

Su Bai transformed into a streak of light, holding Xiao Wu as he instantly slid several meters backward, easily evading Tang San's determined strike.

Tang San's attack missed. The powerful momentum made him stagger several steps forward before he managed to steady himself.

Looking at the unharmed Su Bai and the shocked Xiao Wu, his mind went blank.

What was going on?

This was different from what he had imagined?

"Tang San, have you lost your mind?!"

Su Bai's voice rang out, his lips curling slightly.

Then Su Bai shielded Xiao Wu behind him and looked at Tang San with a teasing gaze.

Only then did Tang San realize that what he had just done had been far too impulsive.

Yet the anger and humiliation in his heart did not fade because of it.

"Su Bai! What did you do to Xiao Wu?!"

Tang San still roared, his short blade pointed at Su Bai.

Xiao Wu peeked out from behind Su Bai. She looked at the furious Tang San, then at the shattered door on the ground, her face filled with confusion and grievance.

"Brother San, what are you doing? Brother Su Bai didn't do anything to me!"

"He didn't do anything to you?"

Tang San became even more agitated.

"Then what was that sound I heard outside the door just now? I heard you cry out for him to stop!"

Xiao Wu's face instantly flushed red.

Only then did she understand that Tang San had been eavesdropping outside the door all along.

"I... I was..."

Xiao Wu stammered, not knowing how to explain herself.

She could hardly say that Su Bai had stood too close, making her too nervous to help crying out, could she?

To Tang San, her bashful appearance only confirmed his suspicions.

She had been bullied but did not dare say it aloud!

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid! With Brother San here, I'll definitely make him pay today!"

As Tang San spoke, he raised the short blade again and prepared to charge at Su Bai.

"Enough! What are you doing in the middle of the night?!"

A cold, sharp cry rang out.

At some point, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had appeared at the shattered doorway.

They had clearly been alarmed by the loud crash just now.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar followed behind them, all still bleary-eyed and wearing startled expressions.

"What are you making such a fuss about in the middle of the night?" Ma Hongjun asked with a yawn.

When they saw the scene inside the room clearly, everyone froze.

Tang San was holding a poisoned weapon as he confronted Su Bai.

Xiao Wu hid behind Su Bai, her face flushed red and tears glistening in her eyes.

It was far too easy to let one's imagination run wild at the sight.

When Dai Mubai saw this, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

He was jealous of Su Bai, but he disliked Tang San even more.

Why did Tang San get to have such a fragrant, soft little rabbit, while his own Zhu Zhuqing would not get along with him?

Now that he saw Tang San in such an awkward state, Dai Mubai actually found it rather satisfying.

Ning Rongrong frowned. She glanced at Tang San, then at Su Bai and Xiao Wu.

She did not believe Su Bai was that kind of person.

Well, it was not exactly that she did not believe it.

The main thing was that Su Bai and Xiao Wu's clothes were completely intact, without even a single crease.

Su Bai had merely pinned Xiao Wu against the door. He had done nothing at all, aside from perhaps stroking her hair.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight into the room. She stood beside Su Bai and looked coldly at Tang San.

"Tang San, put away your weapon."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang San found himself in an impossible situation.

Things had gotten out of hand.

But Tang San could not bring himself to back down.

Just then, Xiao Wu made a move no one had expected.

She stepped out from behind Su Bai and walked over to Tang San.

She raised her head. The shyness had vanished from her face, replaced by nothing but determination.

"Brother San, you misunderstood."

"Brother Su Bai and I are childhood sweethearts. I only came to recognize Brother Su Bai again and ask him about cultivation."

"Nothing happened between us just now."

Xiao Wu's words rang loud and clear.

Tang San looked at her and could not see any sign of a lie in her expression.

Of course, that was only because Tang San did not want to believe it.

Tang San was dumbfounded. You and he were childhood sweethearts? Then what am I?

Xiao Wu ignored the stunned Tang San. She turned around and walked back to Su Bai.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Xiao Wu rose onto her tiptoes and gently kissed Su Bai on the cheek.

"Brother Su Bai, thank you for today."

"From now on, can I come find you every night to cultivate?"
