Yu Xiaogang's Bluff, a Chance Encounter with Zhu Zhuqing!

"Tian Ge, are you really going to Shrek Academy with Tang San? Who exactly is at Shrek Academy? Why do you have to go there?"

"With the strength the two of us have now, so many intermediate and even Advanced Soul Master Academies have sent us invitations. Even the Dean said we could consider going to an advanced academy in the Balak Kingdom. Maybe later we'd even have a chance to take part in that Soul Master Competition or whatever?"

"I asked all around the academy about Shrek Academy, and nobody's heard of it. Maybe it's some Wild Chicken Academy that doesn't even have a license. What good could it possibly do for our cultivation?"

Xiao Wu was completely depressed.

Did that not mean the two of them would have to study together with Tang San for several more years?

Ever since Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian had been honest about her Soul Beast Identity, their relationship had grown even closer. Xiao Wu had directly acknowledged Xiao Tian as her older brother, with absolutely no intention of acting like a big sister.

Xiao Tian was very satisfied with this. Xiao Wu had been trained by him fairly successfully. At the very least, she knew to cultivate properly, keep a low profile, and not waste too much effort on meaningless things.

Xiao Tian leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and said, "Don't worry. Don't you trust your brother? If Grandmaster really tricked us, we can just leave when the time comes. You said it yourself—with our current strength, we don't have to worry about not finding a good advanced academy."

Xiao Tian was rather helpless as well. Once they went to Shrek Academy and Tang Hao left completely, he would finally be able to act freely.

Besides, he had a purpose in going to Shrek Academy too. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both there.

Judging by the nature of this Silly System, as long as he did something to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he should be able to trigger a Critical Reward.

After coming to the world of Douluo, if he did not take a few beautiful wives, he would be letting down the fact that he had awakened the memories of his previous life.

If not for his slight curiosity toward Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and his desire to meet them, who would go to that godforsaken Shrek Academy?

Xiao Tian considered himself a very vulgar person. Aside from liking swords, he liked all kinds of beautiful women.

Of course, in his previous life, the most he could do was admire them from in front of a screen. But now he could get close to them, so how could he give up this opportunity?

Of course, simping was impossible. He would never simp in this lifetime.

He especially remembered what the grandmaster of his previous life had said: money was for women to look at, not for women to spend.

In the world of Douluo, that meant you could rely on your own strength and looks to attract the other party. If you could not attract her, then cut your losses in time.

The reason Xiao Tian had specifically gone to Holy Soul Village last time was also because of this idea. Ah Yin was an extremely beautiful woman in Douluo, and she even had the married-woman attribute. Who would not get excited by that?

Once Ah Yin recondensed her form after one hundred thousand years, her body would likewise be new. Who would not want that?

Fortunately, inside his ring Soul Tool, there was a Qi Concealing Artifact given by the system, which could completely restrain the auras of Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone. Otherwise, he would not have acted so recklessly.

After all, compared with beauties, his own life was also extremely important.

At this moment, Xiao Tian saw Tang San walk out of Yu Xiaogang's office, so he asked, "How did it go?"

Tang San was in a pretty good mood at this moment and said with a smile, "Mm. I finally convinced Teacher. Teacher is preparing to go to Shrek Academy with us."

"Tang San, you'd better be sure Shrek Academy is good. If I find out Grandmaster tricked me, just see how I beat you up! Although you've obtained an External Soul Bone now, don't forget, my strength is still above yours."

Yu Xiaogang casually packed a few things from his office and came out, only to hear Xiao Wu's voice outside the door.

"Don't worry. Shrek Academy truly isn't famous on the continent, but this academy only accepts monsters. I can reveal something to you in advance: Shrek was founded by Flender. You met him once last time. An academy founded by a level seventy-eight Soul Saint should have a certain degree of credibility, right?"

Yu Xiaogang had originally not planned to go to Shrek Academy with Tang San and the others. After all, he had avoided Flender and Liu Erlong for so long. Because of certain things that had happened back then, he did not want to meet the two of them. He cared too much about face.

However, under Xiao Tian's "abuse," Tang San's strength had also risen rapidly, and more than half a year ago, he had raised his strength to level thirty.

According to his theory, the best choice for Tang San's Third Soul Ring was the soul ring of a Man Faced Demon Spider. But in the nearby Soul Hunting Forests, there were basically no traces of Man Faced Demon Spiders. If they wanted one, they could only go to the Star Dou Great Forest and try their luck.

Looking at the expectant look on his disciple's face, the image of Tang San cultivating desperately so that he could one day defeat Xiao Tian appeared in his mind.

There was no other way. He could only write a letter and have his old friend come over. That was right—Flender.

This was the first time he had contacted Flender after disappearing for many years.

Although if he waited half a year and let Tang San and the other two go to Shrek Academy, Flender would pay more attention once he knew Xiao San was his disciple, Xiao San could not wait that long.

So half a year ago, after Flender received Yu Xiaogang's letter, he abandoned the academy and rushed over quickly.

It was on that day that Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, and the others met Flender once.

Also on that day, after Flender saw Xiao Tian and the other two, he strongly urged Yu Xiaogang to bring the three of them to his Shrek Academy. These were living, breathing monstrous geniuses!

At such a young age, they had actually all reached level thirty or above. They were far better than Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the others at his academy. After going back, he absolutely had to properly urge those little brats to cultivate hard!

Xiao Wu: You're the brat. Your whole family are brats, Cat-Eyed Blind!

One thing that greatly surprised Xiao Tian was that Tang San was indeed worthy of being this world's (fake) child of destiny. Even after going to the Star Dou Great Forest half a year early to hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider, he could still obtain the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone?

However, after learning that Tang San had obtained the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, Xiao Tian was not depressed or anything. On the contrary, he was somewhat excited?

Tang San's level had already gone above thirty, and with the support of the Eight Spider Lances, if Xiao Tian defeated him at this time, he should be able to obtain a pretty good reward, right?

And if he pulled out the Eight Spider Lances too, would that trigger another Critical Reward?

Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

Because Tang San had forcibly fused an External Soul Bone beyond his level, there was no way for him to easily make the Eight Spider Lances completely merge with him unless he was subjected to an extremely powerful yet gentle Soul Power Pressure, such as Zhi Lin Douluo in the original work.

But Xiao Tian was in no hurry to spar with Tang San. He needed to wait until Tang San could use the Eight Spider Lances. Besides, after going to Shrek Academy, there would be plenty of chances to spar.

A few days later, after the four of them hurried along as fast as they could, according to their estimates, they should be able to reach Suotuo City tomorrow.

Just then, Xiao Tian sensed that something soft seemed to touch him from behind.

It was actually Zhu Zhuqing!

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's face was extremely pale, and the black cloak draped over her body felt damp. Xiao Tian smelled the scent of rust. (The following is derivative content.)

Blood!

"Brother, this person... she seems to be hurt, and it looks pretty serious?"

Xiao Wu spoke with some concern.

Because she saw thin streams of black blood slowly trickling down Xiao Tian's arm.

One look told her it had rubbed off from the unconscious woman in front of them.

"Xiao Wu, hold her up for a moment. I'll check her back. The blood is flowing from there, and she's probably been poisoned."

Xiao Tian said with a grave expression, directly ignoring the system notification ringing in his mind. Saving her came first.

He could not understand why Zhu Zhuqing would appear here injured. That was not how it went in the original work, was it?

Could it be that she had escaped her sister's pursuit, but had suffered serious injuries because of it?

That should not be right. Then how had she treated herself in the original story?

After undoing the cloak, Xiao Tian could clearly see a long wound on her back.

"This young girl should have been poisoned by a Shadow Poison Claw Wolf."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the shallow wound and spoke according to his own judgment.

"A Shadow Poison Claw Wolf?" Xiao Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If my judgment isn't wrong, then yes. Fortunately, she was only lightly grazed. The poisoning isn't very deep. After some time, she should wake up. The reason she fainted now is probably that her strength was exhausted. Luckily, the poison carried by this kind of soul beast isn't a strong toxin, but a slow-acting one. This young girl can consider herself lucky!"

Yu Xiaogang analyzed with great confidence.

"Xiao San, do you have any detoxifying pills on you?"

Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San.

He knew his disciple had always been very interested in poison. Perhaps he might have an antidote on him.

Facing the gazes of the three of them, Tang San's expression instantly stiffened, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher, I don't. Right now, I only have poisons on me. I haven't made any Antidote Pills yet."

Although he very much wanted to answer Xiao Wu's expectations, Notting City was ultimately too small and simply could not satisfy his needs.

Even the few types of poison he had on him were actually not very toxic. He was quite helpless about that.

"Xiao Wu, help me move her into the tent and let her lie down first. You're a girl, so change her into a clean set of clothes and clean the wound. I just happen to have Golden Wound Medicine on me. We'll treat a dead horse like a live one. Anyway, Grandmaster also said this poison won't kill her for now, and we'll be entering the city tomorrow."

"Xiao Tian, isn't that a little too rash? It's better not to use medicine recklessly." Tang San opened his mouth with a frown.

"Don't worry. Grandmaster already said this poison won't do much. In a while, I'll transfer some Soul Power to her too. She can use her own Soul Power to resist it."

Xiao Tian spoke indifferently.

In truth, what he gave Xiao Wu was not Golden Wound Medicine bought nearby at all, but healing medicine given by the system, with the effect of detoxifying and healing wounds.

The reason he said that was only because he could not explain its source clearly.

Xiao Wu believed Xiao Tian unconditionally. She knew that perhaps Xiao Tian had some other plan.

After the two of them worked together to move Zhu Zhuqing into the tent, Xiao Tian handed the healing medicine to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, this medicine—give her one pill orally in a while. Grind the other one with water, apply it to her wound, and bandage it. She should recover completely in a few days.

"For such a beautiful woman to be left with a scar because of this would be a bit of a pity."

When Xiao Wu heard the first half of Xiao Tian's words, her eyes lit up. She knew the brother she had acknowledged was not simple. After spending these years together, she understood it best: Xiao Tian had become more and more mysterious.

But she was also very sensible and did not ask too much. If there was something that should be said, Xiao Tian would say it.

It was just that when she heard the latter half, for some reason, Xiao Wu felt a little sour inside.

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Xiao Wu pouted.

Xiao Wu acted coquettishly annoyed.

"Brother, don't tell me that because you saw she was a beauty, you started feeling sympathetic? You told me before that cultivation is what matters, and not to waste extra energy on other things."

Xiao Wu said with a vigilant expression.

"Hahaha, Xiao Wu, could you be... jealous?"

Xiao Tian could not help teasing her.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous for no reason? As your little sister, I have a duty to remind you that before becoming strong, working hard at cultivation is our first priority!"

Xiao Wu felt as if her little thoughts had been exposed. A flush rose on her face, but she still repeated the words Xiao Tian had once said to her, trying to brainwash him.

However, she knew this was not the time to dwell on that. Although the person before her was pale-faced, it was clear she was indeed a beauty. Even Xiao Wu herself felt a little moved. It really would be a pity if she were scarred.

After pushing Xiao Tian out and warning the three of them that without her permission they were not allowed within three meters of the tent, she took a basin, kettle, and towel out of her Soul Tool, preparing to clean Zhu Zhuqing up.

After carefully removing Zhu Zhuqing's top, Xiao Wu could not help widening her eyes. She subconsciously covered her mouth, looked at Zhu Zhuqing's fair snowy peaks, then looked at her own, and instantly fell silent.

She was sour!

These six years, she had eaten milk and papaya every day, and her cup size had finally evolved from A to B. But compared with Zhu Zhuqing's pair, truly, comparing people could make one die of anger!

These six years, she had not even eaten her favorite carrots every day!

Xiao Wu felt like crying but had no tears. How had she managed that?

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, she knew Zhu Zhuqing should have been about the same age as herself.

Out of curiosity, after cleaning the blood from Zhu Zhuqing's body and applying medicine, she felt around Zhu Zhuqing's body and estimated by bone age.

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Xiao Wu was shocked.

Xiao Wu wanted to cry.

Though it might have been a little inaccurate, Zhu Zhuqing's age seemed... even younger than hers!

Outside the tent.

Only now did Xiao Tian have the presence of mind to deal with the system's prompt.

Warning! Warning! God of Speed Zhu Zhuqing is rapidly approaching the host. To avoid provoking the jealousy of God of War Dai Mubai, please keep your distance from Zhu Zhuqing, preferably with no physical contact! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!

Bear the consequences myself?

When I see Dai Mubai tomorrow or the day after, just watch me beat the shit out of him.

With Dai Mubai's current strength, he probably couldn't even beat Tang San, let alone him!

Mm. Hmph!

After more than half an hour had passed, Zhu Zhuqing also opened her eyes in confusion.
