Just as Tang San was growing too impatient to wait and wanted to go look for someone,
a figure finally appeared under the distant moonlight.
Is that Xiao Wu?
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately hurried forward.
When he saw clearly who it was, his entire being went sour.
The sky was falling!
What had he just seen?
Xiao Wu was actually flushed all over, being held in Li Yuan's arms!
Tang San's head let out a loud buzz as hot blood rushed straight to the top of his skull, and his first thought was: It must be this beast Li Yuan, taking advantage of Xiao Wu when she wasn't paying attention to get her drunk!
"Li Yuan, how dare you bully Xiao Wu! You're asking for death!"
Tang San let out a furious roar and charged straight ahead, kicking fiercely at Li Yuan with lightning speed.
Yet this kick, which appeared blindingly fast in the eyes of ordinary people, looked to Li Yuan—whose perception had been comprehensively enhanced after his Martial Soul Evolution—simply no different from a crawling turtle.
He didn't even change the posture in which he was holding Xiao Wu very much, merely stepping aside with casual lightness.
Tang San's sure-to-hit kick instantly missed, and his entire body lurched forward from the momentum of his charge.
Cold light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as he seized this fleeting opening, freed one hand, and slammed a fierce palm straight against Tang San's chest: "Are you out of your mind?!"
Did Tang San really think he was still the same fragile, weak Li Yuan of the past?
Before the system arrived, he was bullied by you.
Now that the system has arrived, if I were still bullied by you,
then wouldn't the damn system have come for nothing?
Li Yuan's palm strike looked casual, but a layer of the Golden Light Incantation was secretly layered over his palm.
In terms of sheer force, it could be described as terrifying!
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Tang San went flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing down in a thoroughly wretched dog-eats-mud faceplant as blood surged tumultuously through his chest, nearly causing him to pass out.
Yet at this moment, Tang San's whole mind was consumed by the obsession of "saving Xiao Wu." Resisting the pain, he scrambled clumsily back to his feet.
With bloodshot eyes, Tang San glared at Li Yuan, panting like an ox, yet he still didn't forget to shout toward Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu! Don't be afraid! I'm coming to save you right now!"
By this time, Xiao Wu had already struggled down from Li Yuan's arms.
She stood firmly, gazing coldly at the crazily acting Tang San with obvious anger in her tone:
"Tang San, are you sick in the head? I'm perfectly fine, what on earth do you need to save me from?"
Tang San was instantly dazed: "Xiao Wu, you're all right?"
Xiao Wu snapped irritably, "What could possibly be wrong with me? I was just too stuffed to walk, so I had Li Yuan carry me back, that's all."
"S-So that's how it is..."
Only then did Tang San heave a sigh of relief, realizing he had misinterpreted the whole thing.
"What else did you think it was?!"
Xiao Wu's lingering anger had not subsided, especially when she recalled Tang San's merciless kick from moments before, leaving her heart full of lingering fear and indignation: "Aren't you going to hurry up and apologize to Xiao Yuan?!"
She had seen Tang San's kick just now with absolute clarity—it was completely intended to deal a fatal blow.
She truly hadn't expected Tang San to be so ruthless and vicious!
He would launch a killer blow without distinguishing right from wrong, even against a fellow student who had studied alongside him for nearly six years.
"I..."
Tang San's expression stiffened.
Ask him to apologize to Li Yuan, a guy who had always looked down on his teacher?
He was a thousand and ten thousand times unwilling.
Noticing his reluctance, Xiao Wu narrowed her pink eyes and issued an ultimatum: "If you don't apologize, I'll never talk to you again!"
Driven by the pressure of Xiao Wu cutting ties with him, Tang San had no choice but to walk honestly up to Li Yuan, squeezing three words out from between his teeth with extreme difficulty: "S-Sorry!"
His voice was dry and completely devoid of sincerity.
Li Yuan looked at that face in front of him written over with reluctance and humiliation, and thought back to that vicious kick from earlier, feeling nothing less than nauseated.
Had his martial soul not evolved and had he not practiced the Golden Light Incantation,
that kick just now would have left him hurting for at least ten days to a half-month.
Li Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a trace of a cold smile: "Heh... I won't accept your apology."
Too lazy to waste another glance at Tang San, he turned his head and said simply to Xiao Wu, "Let's go."
With that, he walked straight toward the dormitory area, his retreating figure crisp and decisive.
"Look at that! Tang San! It's great now, are you happy?!"
"You start throwing punches without telling right from wrong, and then you drag your feet just to give an apology, hmph!"
Xiao Wu walked away in a huff.
"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Listen to my explanation! I didn't mean to do it!"
Anxious, Tang San wanted to chase after her, but not knowing what else to say, he could only shout her name twice before helplessly standing frozen in place.
On the way back, Tang San's head was filled entirely with thoughts of Li Yuan carrying Xiao Wu the entire way.
This was even more agonizing than having his flesh sliced away by a knife or being killed outright!
He had to remember that he hadn't even touched Xiao Wu's hand, yet Li Yuan had actually dared to lay hands on her!
Li Yuan, you've already brought about your own path to destruction...
Returning to his dormitory, Li Yuan first washed up and then collapsed onto his bed in a lazy slouch.
He retrieved the Little Brick and prepared to see what had happened in the group chat this afternoon.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Ning Rongrong actually apologized..."
"Still, who is this Child Without Parents? Why do they understand Ning Rongrong so well?"
Just as Li Yuan was engrossed in flipping through the chat logs, a new message popped out.
[Single Academy-Running Housewife: @Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most, get your ass out here. Didn't you say you didn't think I'd dare step on Bibi Dong?]
[Child Without Parents: Really or fake?]
[Li Yuan: ??? What on earth happened?]
[Big Cat in the Night: Same question]
[Loves Eating Carrots: +1]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: +1]
[Ice-Snow Smart: +1]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: (≖_≖) No, you guys have been arguing all morning, is it not over yet?]
The next second, an image was sent out.
[Single Academy-Running Housewife: A jade foot in Black Stockings and high heels stepping on Bibi Dong's portrait, giving it a fierce trampling.JPG. Animated picture.]
For a moment, the entire chat group seemed to be pressed on mute.
"Crap!"
Li Yuan stared at that jade foot in Black Stockings and fell into deep contemplation.
Was this damn group even a proper one anymore?
Did they really use this kind of thing to test group members?
Which proper group member could withstand this kind of test?
Holding a critical attitude, Li Yuan enlarged the image and examined it closely for a while.
Mmm, the ankles were slender and the arch curves were exquisite.
The texture of the Black Stockings looked pretty good, and the style of the high heels even had red soles...
Wait, it seemed he had gotten the focus wrong.
A few seconds later.
Li Yuan curled his lip and exited out of the full-size image: "Tch, it's just so-so."
[Big Cat in the Night: !!!]
[Ice-Snow Smart: !!!!]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: !!!!!]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Why are you guys posting this?]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Sister's legs are so long, so pretty, so envious! (Starry-eyed emoji)]
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong was already half-reclining on her bed in her pajamas.
She used her hand to measure the long, plump, beautiful legs in Black Stockings in the picture, then compared them against her own fair, tender little short legs.
Her mood instantly soured.
Ahhhhh!
Immediately following that, she buried her legs into the covers with a tearful expression.
A few moments later, from deep within the bedding came a soft murmur of self-consolation: "This young lady is only eleven years old this year, I should still grow taller, right?"
[Big Cat in the Night: Is that the main point? Why don't you look at what she's stepping on with her foot?]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: !!!]
Right at that moment, Hu Liena, who had been @'ed for ages, finally showed up.
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: @Single Academy-Running Housewife, you ***, how dare you step on my teacher? Just wait to die!]
