Rocks Have Hearts, but Zhu Zhuqing Doesn't!

Rocks Have Hearts, but Zhu Zhuqing Doesn't!

Zhongli and Paimon silently left the small village and once again set off on their journey home.

As for the youth named Wang Chen, the gears of fate had begun to turn...

Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy's boys' dormitory.

At that moment, Tang San sat on a stool by the window, staring outside, lost in thought.

After a long while, Tang San finally murmured, "Could it be him?"

Other than the person he had encountered when entering the city, Tang San could not think of anyone else whom Dugu Bo would address as "my lord."

"If it really is him, then..."

"How exactly did he save Dugu Bo?"

Saving someone in Dugu Bo's condition was practically like snatching a person from King Yama!

Unless one possessed the legendary immortal herbs, there was only a seventy to eighty percent chance of saving Dugu Bo.

That was also what Tang San could not understand.

Immortal herbs?

What a joke. How could this world possibly have divine objects like immortal herbs?

And even if there were immortal herbs, using such divine objects to treat someone else?

What a terrible waste!

Dugu Bo did not make things difficult for Tang San. After the two remained silent for a while, Dugu Bo quietly left.

After he left, Tang San did not cultivate either. Instead, he sat by the window, lost in thought.

For some reason, he felt somewhat despondent, as though he had lost something, yet he could not put his finger on it.

Dugu Bo's cure for his Martial Soul poison also left him somewhat bewildered.

There was actually an expert in this world who could help Dugu Bo remove his poison?

If Dugu Bo's poison could be cured, then Dugu Yan's would be even less of a problem.

"Little San, what's going on with you?"

Just then, a voice rang out, pulling Tang San from his thoughts.

He looked at the person by the window and said, "Boss Dai, I'm fine. I was just thinking about a few things."

The newcomer was none other than Dai Mubai. There was nothing wrong with that form of address here.

After all, in the early days it was Boss Dai, in the middle it became Mubai, and later it was Dai Mubai...

"I never thought you'd have troubles too."

Dai Mubai sighed and jumped directly through the window into the room.

For a Soul Elder like him, that was not difficult.

Tang San gave a bitter smile. Though he was already quite gifted, he had plenty of troubles too.

"Boss Dai, why do you look so worried? Didn't you go to the Soul Fighting Arena with Fatty to participate in soul battles?"

"Sigh..."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai sighed, found himself a place to sit, and said, "Little San, you don't understand my suffering!"

"You have Xiao Wu, who follows you wholeheartedly..."

"Boss Dai, Xiao Wu is only my little sister."

Tang San hurriedly refuted him.

However, his tone was somewhat uncertain when he said it.

"Right, right, right... little sister, little sister!"

"A lover sister is still a lover sister. We're grown men—what's there to be embarrassed about?"

"This..."

Seeing Tang San's hesitant expression, Dai Mubai continued, "Little San, you say Xiao Wu is only your little sister, but little sisters will get married someday, won't they?"

"Just imagine Xiao Wu in another man's arms..."

"I'll fucking kill him!"

Tang San instinctively slammed his hand on the table and rose to his feet, roaring in fury.

His murderous appearance truly startled Dai Mubai. Once he recovered, he looked at Tang San and merely smiled without saying a word.

After Tang San came back to his senses, he met Dai Mubai's gaze. For a moment, he had no response.

How was that any different from confessing without being asked?

After a while, Tang San finally said quietly, "Boss Dai, let's talk about your problem instead."

At that moment, Tang San understood his own heart as well. His feelings for Xiao Wu had probably gone beyond that kind of sibling affection.

He just did not know whether Xiao Wu had always regarded him as her brother. If she had...

Upon hearing this, the smile on Dai Mubai's face froze before gradually fading away.

The more joyfully he had smiled just now, the more miserable he felt now.

"Little San, you all know something about my relationship with Zhuqing, right?"

"Mm."

After so long, it would have been strange if they still did not know.

Because of this, back in Suotuo City, Dai Mubai had even quarreled with Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had stood up for Zhu Zhuqing.

Though it had happened long ago, Tang San still remembered it.

Later, Dai Mubai's brave performance in the Star Dou Great Forest greatly improved Ning Rongrong's impression of him, allowing their fractured relationship to mend somewhat.

"This brother of yours is suffering!"

"She's clearly my fiancée, yet she treats me as if I don't exist!"

"Logically speaking, she and I should be able to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but that requires our hearts and minds to be in harmony..."

"She neither understands me nor is willing to accept me. She has completely closed off her heart, and as a result, we still can't unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

Tang San froze upon hearing this, his face full of bewilderment.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Well, wasn't that something?

Suddenly, Tang San seemed to think of something and came to a realization.

"No wonder, no wonder Teacher always looked at you and Zhu Zhuqing strangely."

Given Yu Xiaogang's status, how could he not know what was going on between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing?

That was also why he had found it strange.

The Hell White Tiger was famed throughout the continent!

How could he not have heard of it?

Dai Mubai froze, and the corner of his eye twitched.

"Little San, isn't your focus a little off? I'm talking about how Zhuqing ignores me!"

Tang San: "..."

"I was indeed a bastard before, but I've changed! Ever since she arrived, I haven't contacted any of those women!"

"Even after all that, she still won't even give me a proper look!"

"My performance in the Star Dou Great Forest should have moved even a rock, shouldn't it?"

At this point, Tang San subconsciously nodded.

Young Master Dai had been quite the womanizer, but when something happened, he truly stepped up!

That was also why, despite offending two Titled Douluo as soon as they arrived in Heaven Dou City, no one had pushed him out to take the blame.

Dai Mubai was quite a good friend and brother.

Tang San had been an assassin in his previous life, and in this life, he had only just sorted out his own feelings. How could he possibly understand a woman's pain?

Dai Mubai was someone he acknowledged, so he naturally stood on Dai Mubai's side.

"Even rocks have hearts, but Zhu Zhuqing doesn't!"

Dai Mubai said painfully. He was truly numb by now.

"Boss Dai, since Zhu Zhuqing doesn't like you, why must you hang yourself from this one tree?"

"Love isn't something that can be forced, right?"

"You think I want to? Whenever I see that icy face of hers, I lose all interest."

"???"

"I have reasons why I have no choice but to be with her."

"Besides, it was arranged by our parents and matchmakers. How could she and I refuse?"

"Even if she's unwilling now, she'll be willing someday."

"Then what's with you now?"

"Time waits for no one..."

"For some reason, I keep feeling that her purpose in coming to find me was to die with me..."
