Damn it!
What on earth is going on with this Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking?
Why does every single ranking have to reveal details that are detrimental to him?
First, the past origins of the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, and now the usage method of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red!
Is this intentionally targeting me, Tang San?
A flicker of sinister killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes as he swept his gaze over the questioning bullet comments on the firmament.
A bunch of ignorant mortals, daring to speculate on the intentions of me, Tang San?
These people have already invited their own deaths!
However, although he was furious in his heart, he was not overly panicked.
It is fine.
Everything I have done is flawless, all for the sake of Xiao Wu.
Even if the Heavenly Dao exposes these details, so what?
The world will only see my deep affection for Xiao Wu and see her self-sacrifice!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and prepared to comfort the Xiao Wu beside him.
However, when he glanced to the side, he discovered that Xiao Wu was staring blankly at the Gold Ranking in the sky, and for the first time, a trace of confusion appeared in those large, watery eyes.
The words in the bullet comments were like sharp thorns, piercing into her heart.
That's right... since Third Brother knew I was a Soul Beast, why did he still take me to participate in the Soul Master Tournament?
And this Lovesick Heartbreak Red...
Xiao Wu's thoughts could not help but drift back to when she first obtained this immortal treasure.
She remembered that she had wanted to consume it at the time.
After all, being able to increase her soul power by ten levels would allow her to better help Tang San in the competition.
However, Tang San had gently stopped her.
He said: "Xiao Wu, this immortal treasure is proof of your undying love for me, and it is also my eternal promise to you.
It is not just an immortal herb; it is the witness of our love.
It would be a pity to eat it."
At the time, Xiao Wu had been moved to tears by these words, and naturally, she could not bear to consume this "witness of love."
She kept the flower close to her body, treating it like a precious treasure.
Now that she thought about it...
No!
Xiao Wu shook her head violently, casting out that terrifying conjecture in her mind.
This must be a coincidence!
Third Brother loves me so much, how could he possibly harm me!
Everything he does is for my own good!
As she thought this, her exquisite and graceful body tensed up involuntarily, her jade feet encased in pink crystal shoes quietly pressed together, and her long, straight, beautiful legs revealed a hint of uneasy stiffness.
Just at this moment, the image on the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking changed once again.
The scene showed the Martial Soul Hall hunting down Tang San, with the Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan leading the charge.
During one clash, Yue Guan's attack nearly struck Xiao Wu, but it was blocked by the soft light emitted by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
For the first time, an expression of astonishment appeared on Yue Guan's feminine face, his gaze locked firmly onto that immortal treasure!
Clearly, he had recognized this King of Flowers!
The scene shifted again, now to the high platform of the finals arena.
Shrek Academy was battling Martial Soul Academy.
In the midst of the intense combat, Xiao Wu utilized teleportation to help Tang San.
And in that very moment of movement, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, which she had kept close to her body, quietly slipped from her embrace!
"Clatter."
A soft sound.
That stunningly beautiful little flower fell onto the cold ground.
Although it was only for an instant, Bibi Dong, sitting high upon the Pope's throne, saw her phoenix eyes suddenly narrow!
The next moment, with the immortal treasure that masked her aura having left her body, a vast and boundless Soul Beast aura surged into the sky from Xiao Wu!
The identity of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, was completely exposed!
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence!
Following this, the Title Douluos of Martial Soul Hall launched a thunderous assault, and a world-shaking manhunt began.
The scenes flashed by rapidly; Tang Hao appeared in a domineering display, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer to forcibly rescue Tang San and Xiao Wu from the clutches of Martial Soul Hall.
The Golden Ranking continued.
Time flowed on.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, facing the heavy encirclement of Martial Soul Hall, a cornered Xiao Wu chose the most tragic path.
Sacrifice!
A brilliant red light dyed the entire forest crimson as she offered her soul and her hundred-thousand-year spirit ring entirely to the man she loved most.
Yet, after her soul left her body, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red erupted with unprecedented radiance, shielding her physical form and preserving the final glimmer of her life!
At this point, the imagery slowly froze.
The barrage on the firmament fell into an eerie silence once again.
After a long while, new messages slowly drifted across.
[So... this is how it was exposed. Xiao Wu, she is truly too great...]
[Sacrificing herself for her lover—this emotion is enough to move heaven and earth!]
[But... don't you all think this is too coincidental? It didn't fall early, it didn't fall late, but it fell out right at the finals, right under the nose of Bibi Dong? It's as if... it were all arranged.]
[Don't start with the conspiracy theories! This is the greatness of love! Tang San and Xiao Wu are true love!]
Jialing Pass, within the courtyard.
Qian Renxue watched the scenes on the Golden Ranking, a trace of complex emotion flickering in her golden, beautiful eyes.
"This rabbit is quite loyal and righteous."
She said softly.
Immediately, she frowned slightly: "However, it is indeed strange; the timing of that flower slipping away was far too deliberate."
Beside the stone table, Qian Ye picked up his teacup and gently blew away the steam on the surface, his movements elegant and his expression indifferent.
He did not look at the Golden Ranking, yet everything that transpired was clearly reflected in his mind.
"There is never a shortage of high-sounding hypocrites in this world."
He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it caused Qian Renxue's heart to tremble.
Qian Ye set down his teacup and glanced at the spirited Tang San in the image, his tone level.
"Knowing full well that she was a spirit beast and that it would invite a fatal disaster, he still brought her into the sight of all the powerhouses. It is unlikely that there were no ulterior motives behind this."
Qian Renxue grew thoughtful, her gaze toward Qian Ye becoming increasingly reverent.
The Senior's insight was indeed sharp; he had seen through the essence of the problem at a single glance.
Meanwhile, Martial Soul City, deep within the Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a luxurious papal robe, reclined on her throne.
She did not look at the Golden Ranking in the sky, but her subordinates reported everything happening on the list to her in real time.
When she heard that the Lovesick Heartbreak Red had slipped, leading to the exposure of Xiao Wu's identity.
A mocking smile slowly curled the corners of her beautiful and majestic face.
Her long, slender jade legs, crossed and partially visible beneath her skirt, were wrapped in purple silk stockings, exuding a lethal allure and the authority of one who controls everything.
"So that's how it is..."
A flash of realization crossed Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes.
"No wonder this Seat always felt things were a bit coincidental back then; it turns out the root cause was here."
Before she knew that Tang San was a transmigrator, she had merely considered it an accident.
But now, combined with the information about the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus and Tang San stealing the secret arts of the Tang Sect to be reborn, everything made sense.
This was never an accident at all, but a calculated scheme from start to finish!
A despicable scheme, carried out in the name of love, to push his own lover into a desperate situation in order to extract her maximum value!
