Tang San and Xiao Wu Recognize Each Other

When the two of them returned to the Elite Class dormitory, they spotted two people beneath the large tree by the entrance.

Beibei immediately recognized them as his good friend Xu Sanshi and his girlfriend's best friend, Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan looked distracted. Her beautiful little face was filled with anxiety and frustration.

She sat atop a large rock by the dormitory entrance, swinging her legs with the impatient look of someone tired of waiting.

Xu Sanshi, meanwhile, looked rather grim. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he occasionally stole glances at Jiang Nannan, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness.

Tang San had only met the two of them once yesterday and was not familiar with them. He went straight into the dormitory without looking back, heading toward his own room.

"What are you doing here?" Beibei asked, forcing himself to sound spirited.

Xiao Wu jumped down from the rock and said with some distress,

"Don't even mention it. I found the person I was looking for, but for some reason, she doesn't recognize me anymore."

"And she ran the moment she saw me. I'm waiting here to see if I can catch her."

"I should be able to. With her talent, getting into the Elite Class shouldn't be a problem."

"Who is she?" Beibei asked in confusion.

"A freshman with pinkish-blue hair, handsome features, and a slender build. Have you seen her?"

Xiao Wu asked expectantly.

"Sort of."

Beibei gave Xu Sanshi a sympathetic look. Now he finally understood why Xu Sanshi was like this—Jiang Nannan already had someone she liked.

Thinking about it, with that boy's looks, there were few girls who would not be moved.

"Beibei, what kind of look is that? Aren't you the same? You still haven't won Tang Ya over."

Xu Sanshi said stubbornly.

Beibei wanted to say that he had already won her over, and that they had even kissed a year ago. But when he thought of the way he and Tang Ya had interacted over the past year or so,

he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"What are you even talking about? The person I'm looking for isn't a man. She's a girl."

Xiao Wu was utterly speechless.

A girl?

Xu Sanshi and Beibei both looked shocked.

Hope ignited in Xu Sanshi once more. "But that's clearly a pretty boy?"

"She's disguised as a man." All of Shrek's dormitories were double rooms, and even the Elite Class dormitories were no exception.

Xiao Wu could not possibly stand by and watch her daughter, an unmarried young woman, share a room with a man.

So she simply exposed her directly.

But it would have been better if she had said nothing. The moment she spoke, Tang San froze.

Only then did he remember that his daughter's divided soul was Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er's identity had been seen through. Was it merely a coincidence, or had Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong also been "reborn"?

In his memory, only Xiao Wu and Rongrong knew that his "daughter" had descended to the lower realm.

Dai Mubai only knew the general situation. Unless she removed her disguise and stood before him, he would not recognize her.

Ning Rongrong was probably unlikely.

Even if she did know, she would not—and would not dare to—expose his "daughter's" identity in public.

In other words,

if it was not a coincidence, then Xiao Wu must have been "reborn."

Only she would recklessly reveal their "daughter's" identity just to stop her from sharing a room with a man.

Xu Sanshi's next words confirmed his suspicions.

"No wonder you hugged that pretty boy the moment you saw her and called her your daughter. I thought I'd misheard you at the time."

Xu Sanshi's words sounded excessively flattering and ingratiating toward Xiao Wu.

It made Tang San very uncomfortable.

As it happened, the two of them lived in the same dormitory, though neither had any desire to speak to the other.

"Come with me. I want to have a proper talk with you."

Without another word, Tang San turned around, walked up to Xiao Wu, grabbed her hand, and pulled her toward the place where they lived.

Xiao Wu was extremely displeased and was about to shake him off when Tang San's voice, audible only to the two of them, sounded by her ear:

"Xiao Wu!!!"

Xiao Wu's heart jolted. She immediately stopped resisting and followed Tang San away.

Xu Sanshi and Beibei watched in complete confusion.

"What's going on? Didn't they already fall out?" Xu Sanshi asked doubtfully.

"Maybe they made up."

Beibei shook his head, unconcerned. As long as Xiao Ya was happy, that was all that mattered.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Wu was no longer as carefree as before. With a grave expression, she asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Xiao Wu, it really is you. I'm Tang San, your Brother San."

Tang San was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He opened his arms to embrace Xiao Wu, but she evaded him with a Teleportation skill.

"How do you prove it?" Xiao Wu asked warily.

Tang San smiled faintly.

He immediately recounted everything between them, from their meeting at Notting Academy to their ascension to the God Realm, sparing no detail.

After hearing him, Xiao Wu recalled the humiliation she had suffered after being "reborn," and her entire body and mind suddenly collapsed.

Unable to endure it any longer, she threw herself into Tang San's arms and burst into tears.

She cried for a long while before finally quieting down. With reddened eyes, Xiao Wu asked, "Brother San, how did you end up like this?"

Tang San shook his head.

"I don't know either. I only remember drinking the Hundred Flower Brew and going back to refine it. When I woke up, I had suddenly turned into this ghastly state."

Xiao Wu sighed. "It was the same for me. After drinking the Hundred Flower Brew, I somehow ended up like this too."

"Do you think Dai Mubai, Oscar, Zhuqing, and Rongrong might have been reborn as well?"

Tang San said with certainty, "It's possible. They all drank the Hundred Flower Brew too. I suspect Destruction tampered with that jar of wine."

The moment Xiao Wu heard that, she grew furious. "Damn it, it was him! That bastard Destruction was the one who turned me into this. If not for him, I wouldn't have been... with Xu Sanshi..."

"What did he do to you?"

Tang San hurriedly pressed her for an answer.

Xiao Wu realized she had let something slip and quickly changed her words. "If not for him, Xu Sanshi wouldn't have kept pestering me."

"Then draw a clear line with him from now on. If he dares to bother you again, I won't go easy on him."

Tang San instantly let out a breath of relief. He had thought Xu Sanshi had bullied his beloved in every possible sense.

"Brother San, now that even you have been forced down to the lower realm by Destruction, can we still return to the God Realm?"

Afraid that Tang San would learn what Xu Sanshi had done to her, Xiao Wu changed the subject.

"We definitely can. Since I was able to take you to ascend to the God Realm in our previous life, then in this life, I definitely can too."

Tang San said with certainty.

"Mm-hm, I believe in you." Xiao Wu had complete confidence in Tang San. "Brother San, tell me, what should we do?"

Tang San thought for a moment.

"To prevent Douluo Continent from producing Evil Gods like Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue again, I have more or less cleared away the divine inheritances on Douluo Continent."

"Any that escaped discovery must be hidden in places that cannot be found. We definitely can't follow the path from our previous life again."

"So we can only seek another path. I've decided that we still need to focus on the Child of Destiny."

"Only then will we have a chance to return to the God Realm."

He recalled the special method he had left behind on Huo Yuhao.
