Upon seeing Xiao Wu, Li Pei clicked her tongue and said gently, "Xiao Wu, why are you back so late? I was so worried about you. Oh right, Third Brother went to look for you, didn't you see him?"
Xiao Wu shook her head. "I didn't see anyone at all when I came back. Could Little San be in danger?"
"He shouldn't be, right? Third Brother is a very calm and collected person, and besides, the teachers went out too." Although Ning Rongrong was very worried, she still analyzed the situation calmly.
Just as Ning Rongrong expected, Tang San and the teachers returned shortly, and Tang San said happily, "Xiao Wu, it's good that you're okay."
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with excitement and originally wanted to hug her, but upon seeing the presence of Ning Rongrong, he suddenly remembered that he had already agreed to date Ning Rongrong. Before he gained control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had to act as a qualified and affectionate couple with Ning Rongrong.
Tang San asked, "Xiao Wu, where did you go during this time, and why didn't you come back sooner? Don't you know it's very dangerous for a young girl to stay outside?"
"I'm very sorry, Third Brother. It's just that I saw a very interesting thing and got a bit engrossed watching it; by the time I came to my senses, it was already dark. I was also afraid of panicking, so I hurried back as fast as I could."
Although Xiao Wu said these words with much apology, her eyes stared fixedly at Tang San. She did not know what kind of deed Tang San had committed that could actually arouse the attention of the Master of Soul Beasts.
That night in Tang San's room, Tang San unexpectedly did not cultivate, lying in bed instead to think about the events of today.
Before long, a knock sounded at the door with a thump, thump. "Brother, can I come in?"
"It's Xiao Wu, come on in."
Tang San did not know why Xiao Wu had come to find him so late at night, but since it was Xiao Wu, he welcomed whatever she did.
Seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant and faltering appearance, Tang San asked, "Xiao Wu, is there something you want to say to me?"
"Third Brother, is it true that you're dating Rongrong?"
Because Xiao Wu kept her head lowered, Tang San did not see her expression clearly, but he heard her tone very well. Xiao Wu's voice carried a hint of a cry and trembled slightly.
Tang San froze for a moment before continuing, "Xiao Wu, it's not like that. That was only an expedient measure; I don't truly love Ning Rongrong."
"Really?" Xiao Wu raised her head at this moment, her eye sockets brimming with tears as she looked at Tang San with a pitiful expression.
This appearance of Xiao Wu's softened Tang San's heart completely. "Xiao Wu, of course it's true. The person I love the most is you."
"Third Brother, I love you the most too, not in the way of a friend or brother, but in the way of a lover. But you're already dating Ning Rongrong; can you still be with me? Ning Rongrong is my friend, I can't snatch her boyfriend."
How could Tang San, who had finally waited for Xiao Wu's true feelings, give her up because of Ning Rongrong at a time like this? "Xiao Wu, the person I love most is you, and the only person I have ever truly loved is you. Dating Ning Rongrong is just an expedient measure. What I need right now is status and power, and getting close to Ning Rongrong is the best method. Xiao Wu, I hope you can understand me."
Tang San continued, "Rest assured, Ning Rongrong and I won't do anything out of line. Both my first time and my first kiss are reserved for the woman I love most-which is you, Xiao Wu."
"Really, Third Brother? Then prove it to me right now. Can I stay here tonight?" When Xiao Wu said these words, her little face was flushed red, making Tang San's entire heart itch with desire.
"Alright."
Just like that, everything fell naturally into place, and Tang San and Xiao Wu actually broke through that barrier.
However, just as Tang San and Xiao Wu had already fallen asleep, Xiao Wu suddenly opened both eyes. Whether out of lingering attachment to her first man or not, Xiao Wu now felt a bit soft-hearted toward Tang San and could not bear to betray him to Gu Yuena.
Right as Xiao Wu had this very thought, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, knowing this was Gu Yuena's warning to her.
Third Brother, I don't know what you did to make even the Master of Soul Beasts target you, but I will protect you. However, I won't protect your father; I will make him die. Only when he vanishes can we be together forever.
Women are emotional creatures, and toward their own men, they always wish to plead. Because in the face of powerful enemies, a woman is still willing to protect such a man full of lies, just like the Blue Silver Emperor.
Moreover, these little thoughts of Xiao Wu's were seen through completely by Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena never hoped that Xiao Wu would accomplish anything meaningful anyway, only wishing to monitor Tang San.
Given this state of affairs, Xiao Wu probably could not produce any action that would satisfy Gu Yuena. Neither did Gu Yuena plan to kill Xiao Wu, for she now held the power to control Xiao Wu. If he were betrayed by the woman he deeply loved at the moment of deepest affection, would this Tang San break down?
Thinking that the heir of the Asura God might crack, Gu Yuena was endlessly delighted.
Yet Gu Yuena could no longer wait in Spirit City for news from Xiao Wu; she had to take Shangguan Li back to the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible to acquire the Heart of the Dragon God.
Early the next morning, as Gu Yuena was leaving, she sent another message to Xiao Wu.
Soft Bone Rabbit, I have discovered the fact that you did not want to carry out your mission, but do not forget that your friend the Sky Azure Bull Python is still in the Star Dou Great Forest. If you still want it to live, continue executing the mission.
Having just woken up, Xiao Wu heard this message from Gu Yuena, and even the trace of a thought to abandon the mission vanished. It didn't matter if she lost her own life, but she could not drag down Da Ming's life.
Yet Xiao Wu quickly changed her expression and said gently, "Third Brother, good morning."
"Xiao Wu, how are you feeling?" Whether due to the events they experienced last night or not, Tang San was in an exceptionally good mood right now and cared greatly about whether any issues had arisen with Xiao Wu's body.
Xiao Wu blushed; asking such a question early in the morning was simply too embarrassing. "I'm fine, Third Brother. I'll be fine after resting for a bit. It would be even better if you could give me a massage."
Tang San chuckled. "Of course, my little princess."
"Thank you, Third Brother." And I'm sorry. Doing this, getting close to you is just to extract your intelligence, and I also want the lives of your family members. I am not worth you treating me like this; let this night yesterday serve as my compensation.
Seeing Xiao Wu be so gentle, Tang San felt somewhat unable to bear it. But for the sake of his and his younger brother Da Ming's lives, and to avenge his younger brother Er Ming, he had no choice but to sacrifice this person, Tang San.
Perhaps because both of them were harboring other thoughts, the warm atmosphere of the early morning also turned silent, and neither of them continued speaking further.
On the other side, Shangguan Li and Qiao Di followed Gu Yuena toward the Star Dou Great Forest, while Shaohua remained in Spirit City for the sake of cooperation with Spirit Hall.
