And so, after enduring repeated torment, both physical and mental, Tang San and Xiao Wu finally got to rest.
The two healing-type Soul Masters had run out of Soul Power, too.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu before him. Xiao Wu leaned against Tang San.
~Xiao~ San~
~Xiao~ Wu~
Waaah...
They gazed at each other in silence, with only a thousand streams of tears between them.
That night, Tang San and Xiao Wu lay in the same bed, ready to sleep under the same covers.
When Qian Renyu saw this, he thought: That useless Yu Xiaogang had an improper relationship with my cousin, and now he's taken on a half-beast like you, Tang San, as his disciple.
You, Tang San, had slept under the same covers as the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu since you were little. Was this some kind of grooming plan?
And this Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu, despite looking like an old woman, had no telling how many Soul Beasts she'd had intimate dealings with.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
No wonder Yu Xiaogang had sought out Tang San, Tang San had sought out Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu had taken the initiative to sleep under the same covers as Tang San.
It really proved the saying:
Fish find fish,
shrimp find shrimp,
and turtles always find bigger turtles.
As someone who'd received a proper education and was still a model young man, how could Qian Renyu tolerate this kind of lewd behavior?
"Zhang Zhuan, Yang He." Qian Renyu lifted his chin toward Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were lying in the same bed under the same covers.
Zhang Zhuan and Yang He understood at once. They couldn't stand the behavior of Tang San and Xiao Wu either.
It was true that people on the Douluo Continent generally matured early and were rather open about relations between men and women.
But this was way too mature, way too open.
Zhang Zhuan and Yang He didn't understand, and they found it utterly disgraceful.
Zhang Zhuan yanked the covers off Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Good grief, those two weren't wearing any clothes at all. They were lying there completely naked.
A man and a woman, in the same bed, under the same covers, and both completely naked.
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
Yang He grabbed Xiao Wu by the neck and slammed her onto the floor. Zhang Zhuan tossed the covers onto Xiao Wu, covering her bare rabbit body.
As for Tang San? Who cared about him? Let him stay naked.
Who'd want to look at him?
He was tiny as a sesame seed. What was there to see?
Yang He kicked and punched Xiao Wu through the covers.
Xiao Wu had already fallen asleep before Zhang Zhuan and Yang He laid hands on her.
She suddenly felt cold, then someone grabbed her by the neck, and then her rabbit head smacked into something. It was pretty hard; she figured she wouldn't win against it. But by then, she'd woken up.
She'd barely opened her eyes and started to figure out what was happening when a blanket came down over her. Then everything went dark, and then she got beaten.
As soon as Tang San opened his eyes, he saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu—no, Yang He beating Xiao Wu.
"You dare hurt my Xiao Wu? You've chosen death!"
"Quiet." Zhang Zhuan slapped Tang San unconscious. Then he went over to Xiao Wu and began a friendly, one-sided sparring match with her beneath the covers.
Why not beat up Tang San?
Because Zhang Zhuan and Yang He couldn't stand that Tang San and Xiao Wu were sleeping naked under the same covers, but no matter what, Tang San was still a boy.
But Xiao Wu was a female.
Zhang Zhuan and Yang He thought: "I've never seen anyone so shameless."
She clearly had no sense of shame.
Even if she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, she was living in human society now, so she had to follow human rules.
They didn't believe that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast like her didn't know what it meant for a man and a woman to be naked together in the same bed under the same covers.
So, naturally, they went after Xiao Wu.
Qian Renyu thought this was no big deal—just a little splash of water. Otherwise, why call her the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit?
Of course, since it had involved two people, Tang San got a beating in the end, too.
The night passed without a word, filled only with fists and feet.
The next morning, Xiao Wu was still on the floor, sobbing from the beating.
Tang San had also been tossed onto the floor the night before and beaten, but he seemed unusually calm. Only the murderous intent in his eyes gave him away.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang noticed that his disciple hadn't come to find him for class, so he went to look for him in Dorm Seven.
The moment he entered, he was greeted by quite a sight.
He found his disciple Tang San lying naked on the floor, covered in injuries, murder in his eyes.
Then he looked at Tang San's abdomen. Huh, he was even less impressive than me.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang hurriedly picked up some clothes from the bed and dressed Tang San.
"Xiao San, what happened?"
"Ren Yu did it," Tang San said coldly.
"Alas, Xiao San, there's nothing we can do. He has two Soul Kings as bodyguards."
"But his talent must be terrible."
"Teacher, why do you say that?"
"You see, if he had good talent, why wouldn't he fight you himself? Instead, he always has his bodyguards do it. That proves he lacks confidence in himself."
At those words, Tang San's eyes lit up.
"Xiao San, you have Twin Martial Souls, and you're born with Innate Full Soul Power. Becoming a Titled Douluo one day is a sure thing."
"As for Ren Yu, he's nothing but a spoiled young master. The only thing he'll ever be good at is playing with his pants."
"When your strength improves, you can go after him for revenge. You could even wipe out his entire family if you wanted."
As Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang spoke, his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, the veins on it faintly visible.
He, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, had taken plenty of beatings from Qian Renyu, too. Qian Renyu had even planted his foot on Grandmaster Yu's face.
"Don't worry, Teacher. One day, I'll kill Ren Yu and his whole family to avenge you and Xiao Wu."
"Good, Xiao San. I'll look forward to that day."
"By the way, where's Xiao Wu?" As he spoke, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang spotted Xiao Wu on the floor.
"Xiao Wu, get up. Why are you still sleeping on the floor?"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang lifted Xiao Wu's covers.
"Teacher, don't!"
But it was too late.
She was completely exposed.
After a while, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang found a healing-type Soul Master for Tang San and Xiao Wu. The moment the healer saw them, he exclaimed:
"Well, well. Familiar faces."
"Grandmaster, how many times are you planning to have these two treated?" the healing-type Soul Master asked.
The question left Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang dumbfounded. Wouldn't one treatment be enough?
Tang San and Xiao Wu, hearing this, glared murderously.
"Once will do," Yu Xiaogang said.
"Just once? Grandmaster, you're so kind," the healing-type Soul Master said.
What did that have to do with kindness? Yu Xiaogang didn't understand.
After the healing-type Soul Master finished treating them and collected his payment, he said to Yu Xiaogang, "Grandmaster, you can go ahead and hit them now. I won't get in your way." Then he left.
Once again, Yu Xiaogang was left baffled. What was that about?
Looking at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who could now move around more or less normally, Grandmaster said, "Xiao San, you and Xiao Wu should find a hotel and stay there for the next few days. Come back once you've recovered."
Hearing that he'd be staying at a hotel with Xiao Wu, Tang San's eyes lit up. He was thrilled, but said bashfully, "Teacher, I don't have any money."
Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Xiao San, that's no problem. You and Xiao Wu are Soul Masters now, so you can collect one Gold Soul Coin each month from Spirit Hall. And with a bit of my savings, you'll have enough to get by for the next few days."
"You and Xiao Wu haven't collected your Spirit Hall subsidies yet, have you? I haven't collected mine either. I'll take you there."
Little did he know, Spirit Hall had already changed its subsidy rules.
